Chapter 146 A More Relaxed Second Hunt (6)

"Call, call, hello, is anyone there?"

"No one answered me? Then I'll call again in ten minutes."

Ye Na waited for three ten-minute periods, and on the fourth call, the radio gave her the response she wanted.

"Here I am! Oh my gosh, Xiao Ye, you're finally back!"

There came an excited voice from the other side of the radio station.

"do you miss me?"

"I miss you so much."

"Wait, I've locked onto your direction."

"Okay, okay."

Yenne laughed. It sounded like they urgently needed her space to store their prey, so she stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

Driving on the plains is not as free as driving in the wetlands. The wetlands are really flat and tracked vehicles can pass through without any hindrance. There are more obstacles on the plains. There are often invisible large rocks hidden in the lush grass, and no one knows where the rocks came from.

This kind of place is most suitable for spores and mycelium to use their ultimate moves. Wherever they go, all the grass and bushes that block their view fall down, opening up her vision and pointing out a path.

Ye Na drove around the bends and finally saw the camp after a few hours.

"I'm coming!"

"It's finally here!"

The entrance to the camp had been cleared and the view was wide. When Ye Na's tracked vehicle appeared in their sight, many people in the camp ran out and waited.

"Oh, you welcome me so much?" Ye Nai stopped the car at the entrance of the camp, lowered the window, stuck his head out, and looked around at everyone. "What good prey did you find that I have to take care of?"

"You're right. If you had come two days later, they would have given up on the prey."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, someone help me drive the car in, and return the radio inside to the logistics department."

Ye Naila opened the car door and got out. Someone immediately got in and helped her drive the car away. She went with others to find out about this tricky prey.

They retreated to the plains to hunt in advance, and had a good harvest. The prey were all alive. Since Ye Na was not there, no one dared to kill the prey directly. Several seriously injured ones were dragged out until now.

What troubled them was a nest of giant ants built in the tree trunk. Entomologists once suspected that it was a kind of alien termite.

This type of termite does not attack humans or animals, but is only interested in woody plants. Large trees that require several people to hug can be hollowed out by them within a few years, causing the death of the trees. This is as terrible as a plant infectious disease.

The thing that makes them valuable to humans is formic acid, so after accidentally discovering this ant nest, they wanted to take it away, but except for Yenna, everyone else's space was filled with supplies for the team, and there was not enough spare space for such a large ant nest.

I want to give up but I can't bear to. God knows if other teams will pick them up after they leave.

"Luckily you came back in time, otherwise I would have given up."

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll take down this ant nest by midnight."

Ye Na didn't think this was a difficult task. As soon as she agreed to it, she released a large number of spores to find these termites.

Such a large piece of energy-rich, super-concentrated core in the mycelium space not only enhances the ability of the mycelium, but is also beneficial to her. It can release more spores at a time, control a longer distance, allow spores to grow out of mycelium faster, and can also more perfectly disguise wood-type awakeners.

Just as she was handing over the information to the logistics department and counting the prey from the second hunt, the released spores sent back feedback and found the termite nest.

Later, the hunting teams came back with fresh prey. When they learned that Yenna had arrived, they quickly called her over and asked her to collect all the prey, leaving no one alive.

"If we don't leave them alive, it will be too much trouble to take care of them."

"Those sent back last time are enough." Ye Na looked at the captains, both men and women, all with frowns on their faces as if they had had enough of the torture. She held back her laughter and put all the prey into the space.

It is not easy to take care of injured exotic animals. Although medicine can be used to make them sleep and move, if they remain unconscious, we really don’t know whether their injuries will recur. After all, there is no professional veterinarian in the team.

Before Ye Na came along, people had to carry a lot of incubators when they went hunting. They would peel the edible meat from the prey on the spot and put it into the boxes, which would then be stored in the space for the logistics team members. How long they stayed in the secret realm depended mainly on the condition of the incubators.

Now that I have Ye Na, I don’t need to bring so many incubators. I can use the freed-up space to carry more weapons and equipment.

For such a big mission this time, Yenna was separated from them, and the incubator was taken out and used again to skin the meat of the prey that were too seriously injured to be kept. But if Yenna didn't come back to reunite, there would be no place to put the dead prey later.

After collecting the prey, Ye Na started talking to the captains about the termites from another world.

"Shall we go and raid the ant nest at midnight today? That way we can return at dawn tomorrow."

"Captain Mei and the others discovered the ants. Ask her."

"Go tonight and leave tomorrow, that's fine, but have you ever done this in the middle of the night?"

Captain Mei smiled and put his arm around Yenne's shoulders, pressing his weight lazily against her.

Ye Nai didn't move at all, not even her feet moved.

"I haven't done it before, but if you want to catch ants, the best time is at midnight. They are active everywhere during the day."

"That's right. After dark, call the two teammates who found the ants, and the four of us will go together and come back quickly."

"Row."

That was settled. After nightfall, Ye Nai, Captain Mei and three other people drove a car to raid the ant nest.

The people in the camp were packing up everything they could, and they would break camp and return tomorrow morning.

On Ye Na's side, he drove slowly for more than an hour and finally stopped.

The four people in the car were equipped with night vision goggles, and the only lights were the headlights.

Even this light didn't shine on the big tree with termites.

"Go a little further and you'll see a very wide tree. There's a big hole on the trunk near the ground. That's the entrance to the ant nest."

"Okay, got it."

"Be careful, if the situation is not right, retreat immediately."

"Don't worry, I can catch fish in the wetland. Just a few ants. Just sprinkle some water on them."

Ye Na put on night vision goggles, pushed the door and got out of the car.

The people in the car turned off the headlights and observed together wearing night vision goggles.

I dare not turn on the headlights in the secret realm, because too bright lights will attract nocturnal animals and plants.

Therefore, camping lights for single-person use are actually not bright, the light is dim, and the illuminated range is very small. This is all for safety reasons.

For a team with many people, it doesn’t matter; we just want it to be as bright as possible.

Ye Na knew that someone was watching her from behind, so she walked steadily towards the big tree, stuck to the trunk and pretended to use space to collect ants from inside.

In fact, the huge ant nest inside the tree trunk had long been controlled by mycelium. As soon as Ye Na parked the car, the space was instantly restocked, and the queen ant was the first to arrive.

She has to make this trip all for show.
