A colorful caterpillar crawled rapidly on a slender dead branch with its fat body wriggling, and soon reached the end of the branch. Not far behind it, more than a dozen crimson ants were lining up in a neat line, taking neat steps, approaching the caterpillar step by step.

As you walk, you can hear the sonorous steps and uniform slogans of the ants.

There was no road ahead, and there were pursuers behind, and the caterpillar propped up its upper body and turned its little head in despair, but it could not get any other information except the faint whining of the wind.

Ka

The ants approached closer, and the caterpillar finally stopped being lucky, and with a curl of its head, the whole worm shrank into a ball, and then loosened its feet, and rolled down from the slender branch to the ground. Behind him was a string of red ants, poking their heads down, their tentacles swinging wildly.

"Alas. ”

Yelena saw all this and sighed deeply, half of her face was hidden by her long loose hair, making it impossible to see her face and expression. At her feet, there is a bamboo basket from which she had collected mushrooms and wild vegetables.

"What are you sighing for? You don't look like a sad character. An abrupt voice came from the shadows deep in the woods, and a figure floated in front of Elena.

The black cat, which was hiding not far away, stared with bated breath and fixed eyes.

It was Colmar, the vice president of the student union, the owner of the Gini Hut, who had hired Zheng Qing and others as coolies during the winter vacation. Seeing that it was an acquaintance, the black cat suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart subsided a lot. At the same time, he finally realized where the familiar smell he had smelled before came from.

Hearing Colma's inquiry, Elena didn't answer, but asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

"A big rat seems to be passing by while chasing insects...... I almost ran away from it. Colma pursed her lips and threw out a bloody object.

The black cat's heart tightened, and his breathing became more and more gentle, and he didn't even dare to shake his ears.

Because Colma was thrown out by a big mouse wearing a red vest, Zheng Qing had seen a mouse wearing this kind of vest in the honor guard of the rat immortals, according to the ear brothers, this is a privilege that only the very capable rat clan will obtain.

And now, such a big rat with a background and ability has been discarded in the dirt at will. Just turning his mind in the bottom of his heart, Zheng Qing figured out the ins and outs.

Elena and Colma must have met before, but they were accidentally hit by a large rat and broke through the collection. After the two pursued here, Colmar took the lead and eventually killed the voyeur before returning to meet with Elena.

I figured it out, and I was more congested.

There was no doubt that the topic the two witches were talking about must have been very important, important enough to avoid crowds, important enough to kill even a third-party witness with a background.

Recalling the 'magic transfer circle' that Colmar had mentioned to him and Xiao Xiao and the others during the winter vacation, and the choice of being a possible target for magic power plunder, Zheng Qing intuitively felt that the chat between the two witches would have something to do with it.

But what he couldn't understand was why Elena got involved in this matter? she was neither from Beta North, nor was she a pacter, and even though her academic performance was a little worse, she was a full-fledged student at the First University. There is no reason to get involved in Colmar's dangerous plan.

While his mind was in turmoil, the two witches in the woods had already begun to discuss the destruction of the corpse.

"This is the clan of the Rat Immortals. Yelena frowned, looked down at the dead mouse at her feet, and was a little upset: "I didn't bring corpse powder or corpse beetles with me...... What are you going to do with it? Don't tell me to bury it on the spot or throw it into the river of silence. ”

The black cat squatting in the tree couldn't help but shake its ears.

Yelena's performance surprised him a little, she didn't have the usual delicate and fluffy appearance at all, and casually said that there were four plans for disposing of corpses, which sounded very skillful. It's just that after thinking about it, who hasn't ordered any other masks? I have been scared by demons in private, but in front of Yelena, I have always been a big-tailed wolf.

Perhaps this is the difference between a wizard with a heritage and a wizard without roots like himself, the black cat hides in a tree to comfort himself.

"Where is the need for such trouble," Colma chuckled, reaching out to pick a small red ant from the slender branch in front of him, and laughing, "not to mention that these little things can gnaw away all the mouse bones...... The five poisonous insects that have been raging for a while alone will not let go of the corpse of this little mouse. The rat people don't know which nerve they have taken wrong, and recently they have been chasing and killing those insects that have just been turned out of the ground, and now the anger on both sides is very big. ”

Elena stared at the red ants crawling around Colma's fingertips, silent.

Maybe she had already figured out the joints, so she didn't make a fuss about it.

The red ants crawled on Colmar's fingertips for a long time, but never found a way out. The witch's eyes showed a hint of impatience, and with a flick of her fingers, the red ant flicked to the ground, and by chance, landed on the dead mouse's body.

The red ant had just gotten out of the predicament, and was dizzy, when Leng Buding was hit by this huge pie, and was suddenly overjoyed, opened the pliers on the side of his mouth and pulled hard, tearing off a trace of rat meat, and then stumbled into the distance and ran, it seemed that he was going to move the rescuers.

And not far from it, including two witches and a black cat, they were all staring intently at the adventures of the little ants, motionless.

It wasn't until the figure of the little ant disappeared into the depths of the bushes that the witches began to speak again.

"I'm like this caterpillar, I can only struggle in despair. Elena stretched out her hand and pointed to the caterpillar that had fallen from the branch before, and then again, to the place where the ants had disappeared: "You are like those ants, cold and cold. ”

Colmar shook the ponytail at the back of her head and shook her head repeatedly.

"Bad analogy," she apparently dismisses the gypsy witch's claim: "A caterpillar can turn into a beautiful butterfly after a cocoon, but what about an ant?

Her words were very vulgar, but the strength of the struggle was very obvious.

Yelena finally couldn't help but smile: "First, the caterpillar I am referring to is not a caterpillar, but the seed of the rejuvenating poplar, which cannot be transformed into a butterfly......; With all those burdens in the Gini hut, you can't be a butterfly. ”

Colma's face finally fell.
