In this world, there were not only books made of words, but also books made of pictures and even books made of codes. So, it was not surprising that there were books made of smells.
Different scents represented different meanings, just like different words could form different essays. This old ant seemed to be writing a book by leaving behind its scent.
Wei Huo was stunned. Nature was full of miracles. He did not expect to witness one here.
The old Demonic Ant put down the stone and came to Wei Huo's side. It observed Wei Huo carefully. Finally, it lifted its antennae and extended it towards Wei Huo's head.
Wei Huo frowned and released his inner Qi to form a protective shield. He was worried that the old ant was up to something.
However, Wei Huo could see everything clearly from the Social Menu.
"The Demonic Ant Warlock is trying to have a friendly conversation with you."
Wei Huo let his guard down when he saw the string of words. Soon after, the old Demonic Ant's antennae touched Wei Huo's glabella. The next moment, Wei Huo felt a large amount of information surging into his brain. There were countless pictures, videos, and finally, countless scents, as well as the meanings expressed by different scents.
Wei Huo was stunned.
Was there such a thing?
After all the information was transmitted, the old Demonic Ant retracted its antennae. It seemed to have aged a little. However, at that moment, Wei Huo could 'understand' their language.
In fact, Wei Huo could understand the meaning of their scent.
The Demonic Ant that was leading the way suddenly asked the Old Demonic Ant if he was alright, while the Old Demonic Ant indicated that he was fine.
The old Demonic Ant's scent was automatically translated into Mandarin by Wei Huo's brain, "Foreign Ant, what brings you to our home?"
Are they treating me as an ant from another tribe?
Wei Huo did not know how to answer. He did not have an organ that could freely emit different scents. However, he was smart enough to pick up a stone. The stone still had the scent of the Old Demonic Ant on it, and that scent represented 'travel'.
That was the story of the old Demonic Ant's journey when it was young. It was recorded by the old Demonic Ant on the stone. The other Demonic Ants could use the stone to find out what had happened during the journey.
The old Demonic Ant understood what Wei Huo was trying to express. It 'said' sympathetically, "So you're a traveler. But it's such a pity that you became a mute at such a young age."
Wei Huo was speechless.
It was a huge misunderstanding!
However, a group of ants without eyes and ears was standing in front of Wei Huo. Naturally, they could not tell him apart. The reason they misunderstood him was probably not because he smelled like ants, but because he had displayed intelligence that was different from ordinary creatures. Wei Huo was shocked.
(The automatic translation function has been turned on. The parts that involve the Demonic Ants will be described using "synesthesia".)
The old Demonic Ant continued to speak, "When I was young, I traveled to many places and went to many different ant colonies. I also learned the language of many ant colonies. I've also seen many strange animals. Only then did I understand that we, the Demonic Ants, are indeed the wisest of all creatures."
Wei Huo finally understood why the Demonic Ants treated him so politely. They mistook him for another group of Demonic Ants, the Mute Demonic Ants.
In their minds, the Demonic Ants were the only race in the world that possessed intelligence and intellect. If they were to encounter other creatures with intelligence and intellect, they would definitely be Demonic Ants. It was just that they looked different, smelled different, and spoke different languages.
This was a foolish and arrogant way of thinking.
However, this way of thinking worried Wei Huo. If the Demonic Ants continued to develop, would they surpass humans one day? Would they live in peace with humans in the future?
Wei Huo clenched his fists. 'Should I kill them in the cradle before they become stronger?'
Wei Huo suddenly thought of a saying, 'This kid is already so scary at such a young age. He must not be left alive. I must kill him in the cradle.'
'Why am I acting like a villain? F * ck, is this Demonic Ant in front of me the main character?'
Wei Huo loosened his fists again. He thought he was overthinking. The Demonic Ants might just be a test set by God for humans. 'We humans are players with all kinds of powerful tools. Qi-Training, God of Thunder, it's like cheating. You're just a Demonic Ant …'
"Boom!" A ball of flame suddenly appeared on the old Demonic Ant's hand. He said proudly, "This is my latest discovery. I use a special energy in the air to turn it into fire, electricity, and more. This energy is the foundation of this world. I call it 'Qi'!"
Wei Huo was speechless.
'Hey hey, if everyone is cheating, this game can't be played anymore!'
The old Demonic Ant looked at Wei Huo, "I can feel the Qi on your body. You're a Qi Cultivation Ant, right? I'm not the only ant with this ability. This means that this ability can be passed on to other Demonic Ants. Let's work together to study Qi energy. We can study Qi Cultivation Scrolls and pass them on to our juniors! "
Wei Huo suddenly frowned. Pass it on to the juniors? You're planning to pass the Qi Cultivation Scrolls on to your juniors?
Wei Huo could not help but imagine a scenario. A few hundred years later, tens of thousands of Demonic Ants with Qi Cultivation Scrolls would roam the world. At that time, humans would have just recovered. Before they could understand what was going on, they would be besieged by countless powerful Qi Cultivation Ants.
Wei Huo kept thinking and imagining. In the end, he came to a conclusion. 'These Demonic Ants must not be left alive!'
Wei Huo looked at the Demonic Ant that was leading the way. That little Demonic Ant seemed to be the apprentice of the old Demonic Ant. It seemed to have sensed the Qi on Wei Huo's body. That was why it invited Wei Huo to join its nest. Its motive was not simple. They might not be friendly creatures.
Wei Huo could not overthink. As the only human who was not stopped by the time, he had to think about the future of mankind. It was an instinct. In times of crisis, an individual would involuntarily think about the collective or even sacrifice for the collective.
Unless, the collective made the individual feel hopeless.
Of course, Wei Huo did not feel hopeless. His parents, his friends, his relatives, and the girl he had a crush on. This collective had things that he missed. That was why he did not want mankind to go extinct.
As a member of mankind, Wei Huo only had one choice: kill the Demonic Ants in the cradle. At least kill the Qi Cultivation Ants in the cradle!
Wei Huo made up his mind and activated his skill. A small electric current leaped out from his finger.
