Chapter 512 The Valley Where the Dragons Fell (1/2)
”Baldie?” Gao Peng sighed. Why did you give it such a… weird name? Suddenly, a thought emerged in Gao Peng's mind. The one who was called Baldie before was...
”Damn you, bald duck! Just because you're bald yourself, you can't give these cute little ants such nasty names!” Flamy flew over and spat at Goldie.
Goldie was mad. ”Fatty, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you share the same name as the snake and you can play with fire. You don't even have a grandfather!”
”They aren't bald! Ants don't have hair. It would be stranger if ants had hair to begin with!” Flamy retorted.
When the youngest ant, who was walking at the back, heard this lovely older familiar speaking highly of it, it immediately burst into tears, extremely grateful, and nodded repeatedly. Yes, we don't have hair to begin with!
By the time it had heard that six of its older siblings were named Elder Baby, Second Baby, Third Baby, and so on, the seventh kid, who already knew how to count, started to think what it would be called. Finally, the outcome was obvious; it would be called Seventh Baby!
Although Dragon Ants weren't taught Arabic numerals, they did have a similar counting system, so that wasn't difficult to deal with.
However, when it was its turn, suddenly, it heard a word.
Baldie.
It was as if a sledgehammer had hit the back of its head, making everything a blur. Little Seventh was as stunned like a stiff chicken. Had there been a mistake? Was the number after six not seven, but bald?
Its six older siblings came and took turns comforting it, and they reassured it that the number after six was seven, not bald. ”Don't think too much about it,” they consoled it.
”I don't care. It has no hair anyway!” Goldie was suddenly anxious.
”I wasn't born without hair! I just lost my hair after evolving, so how dare you call me Baldie!”
Anyhow, Goldie was not pleased. Gao Peng promised to let me name it!
”Ah, old Baldie,” Flamy sneered.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
Gao Peng had walked inside with a few familiars and arrived in front of a cave. This cave was built at the bottom of the hill, clinging tightly to the foot of it. Surrounded by dense shrubs, the huge cave was revealed when the shrubs were uncovered. Because the size of an adult Dragon Ants was huge, the size of the cave wasn't small.
The opening of the huge cave was pitch black, and only the blurred interior could be seen through the light. They didn't have to bend down when they walked in, as there was a lot of space, even when they walked with straightened backs.
The Dragon Ant's nest was simple, without any complicated structures. Perhaps it had been confident that no monsters nearby would dare to break into its nest.
At the base of the nest was a large open area. At the edge of the area was a storage area like a warehouse, piled with a few items. Among them, the monster carcasses occupied most of the space, and there were also many monster bones that seemed to have been used by the Dragon Ant to grind its teeth.
There were some materials in the corner. An animal skin scroll seemed very striking and unique among the other materials in the pile. The animal skin scroll was folded in several layers, but even then, it was as big as a tabletop. The scroll was white, and the white skin felt good to the touch. The soft, warm skin was smooth, fresh, and perfectly preserved, except for a tear in the upper right corner.
Opening the animal skin scroll, Gao Peng almost thought he was looking at a cartoon. There were black lines on the scroll, smooth and simple. The simple lines looked odd, but they were enough to tell that this was a map.
The map recorded a path from the lower right corner of the scroll to the upper left corner. There were also rough arrows that could be used to determine the direction according to the pattern.
