The Underground Cave Magical Spiders and the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants had been at war for tens of thousands of years. Ultimately, it was the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants that had lost in the end, and it had been a terrible defeat at that.
If not for Meng Lei, even Little Gold, the current ant monarch, would have been wiped out by the Underground Cave Magical Spiders. This could be said to be an utter defeat for them.
With regard to this, Little Gold was filled with dejection.
"Little Gold, you're still young. This isn't your fault." Meng Lei patted Little Gold on the head. "Besides, the final outcome is that you're still alive, while the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor is dead. That's the most important thing, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes!" Little Gold repeatedly nodded, its grief turning into joy.
Yes, I'm still alive! It's only when I'm alive that there'll still be hope.
They went down the meandering path.
