Small insects that inhabit the ground are naturally aware of earthquakes, and in the past six months, a small earthquake has occurred in the Lierte Forest.

Sistemm was asleep that time, but he was awakened and directed some of the same ant people to escape from the nest.

However, the earthquake was actually not large, and the ground only shook a few times before it ended.

In fact, although his ant people were a little flustered, they would not have evacuated from the anthill without Sistem's overly nervous command.

……

This time, however, Sistemm and his ant people felt no signs of the earthquake.

Even Sisstem's [intuition] had only felt it a few seconds before the earthquake.

The sudden earthquake was so strong that the small ball of meat next to Systm was like a bean on a hot pan, as the ground trembled and throbbed.

The loose dirt around him kept falling, and in less than a second, the junction between the empty chamber where Sistemm was and the passage to the nest collapsed.

[Psychic Network] is activated!

Sistem's ability to instantly activate the [Psychic Network] connected the spirits of dozens of ant people within a meter of the surrounding area.

Heatham felt the panic and uneasiness of the ant people, several of them were in pain, and two ants completely lost their movement during this time.

Then, with a strong sense of unease from [intuition], the empty room where Syst and the little ball of flesh were located collapsed in a violent shake, and it was not long before Syst was buried in the dirt.

The magnitude of the earthquake shaking became larger and larger, and Systm had a faint feeling that the epicenter of the earthquake was in the west.

But there was no time for Systm to think about how the earthquake was generated, and the violently shaking earth squeezed Sisttham's body and small balls of flesh into the dirt.

The trembling earth seemed to boil, rolling back and forth beside Sisstem.

Systham could feel the clatter of the exoskeleton on his back wings, some pieces of frozen dirt cracking his exoskeleton under the weight.

Even he had suffered some damage from the pressure of this kind of soil, and the ant people who had not been pupated twice were obviously unbearable.

More and more Ant Folk are feeling the pain in Systham, and nearly ten Ant Folk have completely lost their movement.

It seems that most of the empty chambers of this underground lair have collapsed due to the sudden earthquake.

The strong shaking and shaking made Systm wrap tighter and tighter in the dirt, and the breathing hole in his abdomen was tightly wrapped.

If this continues, even he will die of suffocation.

Heatham swayed the dirt around him with his tentacles, and it took a lot of effort for him to make his abdomen touch a gap, temporarily losing the danger of suffocation.

But the violent tremors of the earth continued......

Systm felt something touch him around him, and it turned out to be a small ball of flesh that changed shape into a strange shape with several claws, digging next to him as the earthquake progressed.

……

The earthquake lasted for ten minutes, and Systm finally felt Shava's spiritual message at the end of the earthquake.

After another three minutes, Shava, who was emitting a faint white light, finally broke through the dirt and came to the side of Sistum.

"Little Meatball, you follow the direction of [Mind Network] to rescue those injured worker ants, Shava, you and I go to Linda's empty room to see the condition of some of those ant larvae and Linda."

……

After nearly two hours of busyness, more than 100 ants concentrated three to five meters underground have basically been rescued by the ants.

Ants are masters of digging in their own right, and when they rescue an ant, the ant immediately becomes a member of the rescue team.

There were 127 adult ants in the entire nest, 67 ants, including the Ant Knights, had no obvious damage to their bodies, 19 ants were seriously injured, and the corpses of another 17 ants were found by Systham.

Some of the remaining 20 or so ants may have been buried in the dirt as carcasses and were not found, while others may have escaped by escaping from the nest in the upper layers of the nest, or by searching for food outside the nest at the time of the earthquake.

Through [Psychic Transmission], Sistemm could feel several worker ants digging down above the nest that had not yet been fully dug through.

Compared to the adult ants, the 23 ant larvae in Linda's empty chamber were badly damaged, and all of them were crushed by the soil, either bursting or suffocating.

However, although Linda and the 12 ordinary ant pupae next to her were also squeezed, they survived intact because of the hard shell of the pupa and the low requirements for breathing.

……

However, just as Systm led the ant team to save himself and was about to dig up and return to the ground, the ground trembled again.

Although not as violent as the first wave, the Ant People of Heatham were in trouble, and many of them were buried in the collapsed earth again.

Fortunately, the aftershocks were not strong, and his ant people suffered few casualties.

But the aftershocks never stopped, with every few minutes of rest coming up for a few minutes, and the progress of the Systm excavation has been stagnant.

Systm has also been slow to move the ant people from the relatively dangerous underground to the surface......

Eight hours had passed, and when the aftershocks had completely subsided in the evening, Systm and his ant people had dug through the ground to the snowy ground.

Heatham found the two soldier ants guarding the entrance of the cave and five worker ants digging from top to bottom, it seems that the earthquake counted those ant larvae, a total of more than 70 lost, counting some seriously injured ant people, his ant people lost nearly half.

Heatham didn't pay much attention to the ant people for too long, and by digging through the cracks in the nest, Heatham smelled a strange smell of gunpowder smoke and noticed an orange fire in the sky, which was in the direction of the Lilte Mountains.

As Systm crawled out of the lair, he was greeted by fallen trees and fractured uneven snowy ground.

It seems that the earthquake is much worse than he felt underground, but fortunately there is no ground break near his lair, otherwise the consequences must be unimaginable.

But compared to that, Heatham's attention was all focused on the firelight coming from the west, and it seemed that something was going on in the Lilte Mountains.

In the direction of the Lilte Mountains, Systm spotted orange fires shining into the sky and thick black smoke......

Spreading his wings, Systm noticed that thousands of kilometers away, there seemed to be more than a dozen active volcanoes in the Lierte Mountains, which erupted flames at the same time, and fiery red magma flowed down from the snow-covered Lilt Mountains......
