Chapter 427 Ant Factory
Now that Mike and others appeared in front of him, there was a much sparse mushroom forest that was much thinner than before, but unlike before, the reason why the mushroom forest in front of everyone is so sparse is completely artificial.
Oh, no!
To be precise, it should be made by the ant.
Because what appeared in front of Mike and others at this moment was a busy construction site scene, countless huge ants were shuttled through the mushroom forest, constantly biting the rhizomes of the tall mushrooms.
Once the tall mushrooms are bitten by them, ants will naturally come to haul the mushrooms to open space further north.
Under their coordinated work, this mushroom forest, which should have been very dense, is now sparse, with only some small mushrooms less than one person tall and countless short and thick mushroom roots remaining on the ground.
"You really guessed it right. These ants are really lumberjacks!"
Benjamin said slowly in a voice that was almost like a dream. If he had been agreed by Benjamin, a smart man, Franklin would have jumped up happily, but at this moment, Franklin looked at the scene in front of him with a confused look on his face and could not say anything.
While everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, Mike took a deep breath and took a step towards this "logging site"!
Through observation, he could almost confirm that although these ants had very terrible physical strength, they had the same weakness as zombies - fearing curses and high temperatures.
After mastering this information, Mike lost fear of this ants.
Judging from the ant's previous kneeling performance, Mike also came up with a very wonderful guess.
While ensuring his safety, Mike began to confirm his thoughts without hesitation.
However, his actions shocked Benjamin and others. The fifty elite wizards almost instinctively raised their wands, and Arthur even shouted at Mike in a low voice. After receiving the response, he drew his sword and ran towards Mike's direction!
The movement behind him naturally alarmed Mike. He suddenly turned around, placed his index finger in front of him, and made a gesture of silence.
Arthur's body froze in place, and seeing this, Mike continued to walk towards the "logging site".
One step, two steps, three steps...
As the distance between Mike and the ants became closer, the ants who were working hard finally discovered Mike, a human who had left the invisible state and was coming to them openly.
Arthur's hand clenched the hilt of the sword. After a while, if something was wrong, he would take action regardless of Mike's order and cut all the disgusting ants into pieces.
But he probably didn't have this opportunity.
Because as soon as he discovered Mike, all the ants on the "construction site" took the initiative to stop their work, and just like the ant before, he knelt down in the direction of Mike!
Mike smiled happily, and he spread his arms in the direction of the ants, as if an emperor was enjoying his people's kneeling down to him!
Everything in front of me has proved my guess. These ants kneeling in front of me are definitely artificially trained!
Otherwise, how could a mere ant know how to kneel down to humans?

What shocked Mike and others the most was that these ants were still wearing clothes and holding weapons in their hands!
Although it was just a simple vest made with the fibers on the rhizome of mushrooms, and although it was just a simple bone spear made with the bones of unknown beasts, there was no doubt that these ant-man were wise and they had mastered the skills of using tools!
Mike and others almost instinctively concentrated their minds and held their breath. Everyone knew very well that this seemingly wise ant man should be the soldier ants in this ant group.
These intelligent soldier ants will never bow to strangers foolishly. If these soldier ants find their whereabouts, then let’s not mention whether they can beat the siege of these soldier ants. First of all, their infiltration plan will be ruined!
Everyone continued to move forward carefully, and as the distance forward became farther and farther, the number of soldiers and ants appeared in front of everyone became more and more.
The job of these soldiers and ants seems to be to guard the work of the worker ants. They stand on both sides of the avenue with weapons, and their tentacles are still touching each other, as if they are chatting.
Fortunately, these ant-man's perception ability is not much better than those worker ants. Facing Mike and others who are fully maintaining their hidden state, they are as if they are blind and have no idea, which makes Mike and others breathe a sigh of relief.
Ten minutes later, a building finally appeared in front of Mike and others.
It was a square building with no characteristics, standing abruptly in the empty mushroom woodland, and it seemed so out of place with the surrounding scenery.
As soon as he saw this building, Mike understood that their destination was here. This huge building with rich human characteristics was definitely not something that ants could make.
The only person who can build such a building is human, to be precise, a wizard!
Everyone's pace couldn't help but speed up a lot. After so many strange things happened, everyone's nerves were always in a very tight state. Now they can't wait to complete this task and return to their base to relax.
After a while, everyone came to the bottom of the building, and there was an extremely spacious exit at the bottom of the building, which was also the end of the trip for the workers.
As soon as he entered the building, Mike found that there were a lot of soldiers here. They each held weapons and stared at the worker ants to haul the tall mushrooms into the building. Then he turned around and returned to the mushroom forest and started the previous hauling work again.
In the first floor hall of this square building, countless worker ants were also everywhere. They took the huge mushrooms transported by other ants, completely cut the mushroom's umbrella and rhizome with their sharp teeth, and then cut the two parts of the mushroom into small pieces of different sizes, and threw them into the two machines in the huge hall.
The rhizomes of the huge mushrooms have become rough fibers and a bunch of white paste objects after being processed by the machine, while the umbrella covers are classified by the machine according to different colors into different types of squares and classified.
Soon, another group of worker ants rushed over and transported all of these things away.
Among them, the fibers and umbrella blocks were transported upstairs, while the white paste made of rhizome waste was sprinkled in a pond in the lobby on the first floor by workers.
At first, Mike thought it was just a waste pool, but when he found that from time to time, workers ants would climb over the pond to suck the paste juice inside, he realized that these paste waste was the food for these workers, and this entire huge square building was a huge mushroom processing factory!
Good guy, let these worker ants support themselves. Mike was convinced by the pure blood wizards who built this factory. This was even more unscrupulous than him!
After a little visit to the work of these huge ants, Mike and others began to walk towards the second floor. Unlike the first floor where only soldiers and ants guarded almost unguarded, Mike just arrived at the entrance of the stairs and found a very obvious magic restriction.
Although I don’t understand the real purpose of this magic restriction, these simple magic restriction in front of Mike, who has mastered the end of all spells, are obviously not enough to see.
After easily breaking the ban, Mike and others finally arrived at the second floor smoothly.
The layout here is almost the same as the first floor. A huge platform that is fully opened is filled with dense machinery, and the workers holding various mushroom blocks and mushroom fibers are traveling between these machines in an orderly manner, and finally putting these raw materials into different machines.
After observation, Mike found that the fibers separated from mushroom rhizomes were thrown into an old, dirty machine and rolled into rolls of white fabric.
These fabrics are very familiar to Mike. This is a special fabric called Avery Magic. It has excellent anti-magic effect and heat resistance, and is extremely tough. These excellent characteristics make it expensive. This special fabric is used for the combat uniform lining of Mike and others.
The mushroom squares of different colors will be crushed according to the pre-classified colors, mixed with many materials that Mike didn't recognize at all, and finally made into bottles of viscous liquids of different colors.
Mike is also familiar with this thing!
Avery Magic Liquid, they used these things last year when they were taking magic lessons. The blue magic liquid has the ability to improve the effect of magic liquid, the red one increases the probability of success of the production, and the yellow one increases the storage time.
Like Avery Magic, these magic liquids should be valuable, because Snape was very careful when treating them, and even warned everyone not to overturn them.
Both of these things are exclusively operated by a pure-blooded family named Avery. Since they are monopoly industries, it is understandable that the price is a little more expensive.
However, many people are very jealous of the huge profits of these two products, and have used many means to explore the production methods and raw materials of these things, but they are all in vain.
Mike didn't expect that he would accidentally discover the production base of these two things today!
Thinking of this, Mike's heart couldn't help but become hot.
