In the shade of the cabin, it is still difficult to block the heat waves.

Lin Qi leaned against the wall, concentrating heavily on observing the little ants floating on the water.

From time to time, he would re-wrap naughty eggs that tried to escape the experiment with blood-changing grass.

Then put a stone on the bottom of the barrel to prevent them from floating to the surface.

Ants themselves cannot swim, but because the weight of small ants is less than the tension of the water surface, people mistakenly think that ants can swim.

If you drop an ant casually on the water, it will be really dead.

That would be death from exhaustion, not drowning!

This method of drowning ants may seem simple and crude at first glance, but it actually has profound meaning.

First, he had to control the size of the stones, otherwise the stones would be too heavy and would directly crush the ants, making all this meaningless.

Second, on the Blue Star, when a drowning man was rescued, his normal breathing had stopped and his heartbeat was at an extremely slow rate. This situation should be the closest example of being alive while being close to death.

The states of life and death are quite similar to this situation.

Now, all Lin Qi needs to do is wait quietly.

Three minutes later.

Lin Qi noticed that the floating frequency of the little ants began to slow down, and he hurriedly reached out and fished up a blood-transforming grass leaf.

In the process of catching ants, he paid a heavy price for it.

There were at least ten bulging white bumps on his hands, and just looking at them made him feel a little scared.

Once an ant cannot last long in the water, it will die in less than three minutes.

All previous efforts were in vain.

"Huh..." Lin Qi let out a sullen breath, and kept scratching his right hand with his left hand.

"It's best to pray that you can spit out the life energy, otherwise, you will have to stay in the water your whole life!" He stared at the blood-transforming grass leaves in his hand and said viciously.

Just as he was about to open the leaves, an ant poked its cute little head out of the crack.

The little body swayed on the fingertips, crawling slowly as if drunk.

"Pah!" Lin Qi stretched out his hand and patted it into a flat shape. The overall posture was clean and neat.

He was in a much better mood, and even the itching on his hands had subsided a bit.

This is the price of biting!

He folded the leaves again and put them gently into the bucket.

Two minutes later.

Lin Qi picked up a blood-transforming grass leaf.

This time, as expected, the little ant lay motionless on the leaf.

This is what a good baby should look like!

Lin Qi moved extremely skillfully. He picked up a small ant between his two fingers and said silently: "Take it in!"

After a few breaths, he had a thought:

Life energy: 0

Aura: 0 Xuan (+)

Telekinesis: 2 yuan (+)

Extra: Ingestion (life between life and death will release life energy)

Lin Qi looked suspicious: "It shouldn't be! Doesn't my hypothesis hold true?"

Although this experiment was not rigorous enough, he did his best to control the variables.

However, the necessary instruments cannot be found here to conduct more precise scientific experiments.

However, experiments occasionally have errors and surprises.

Want to give it another try?

Lin Qi no longer doubted himself and picked up a small ant again.

He was just about to recite his lines when his eyes gradually widened.

The tiny limbs of the little ant, which could no longer die, were slowly squirming.

It soon turned into a fierce struggle, and its desire to survive was very strong!

"What the hell!" Lin Qi lowered his head and exclaimed.

Not only did the picked ants come back to life, but the ants on the leaves were also very agile.

With a dark face, Lin Qi wrapped the leaves again and put them into the water.

These little ants are all little liars and have no credibility at all.

Or just lie on the leaves and don't move, just pretend it's completely cool.

Or when lying on a leaf, start moving.

One is dead, the other is alive.

It was easy for him to think that these ants were proficient in "artificial respiration".

What a waste of my feelings!

"I feel so tired. Can these ants really be drowned?" Lin Qi walked back and forth beside the bucket, feeling a little bit sad in his heart.

There are a row of neat circular holes on both sides of the ant's chest, and these valves are used for periodic breathing.

When the ants are completely put into the water and water enters the small holes, they will have difficulty breathing just like humans.

Therefore, it is entirely possible for ants to drown. Are ants from other worlds special?

Another five minutes passed.

Lin Qi pinched them one by one to make sure they were in a state of suspended animation or real death.

"I hope it can succeed!" A wry smile appeared on his face and he whispered: "Ingest it!"

Life can be unresponsive.

This time, Lin Qi was not too disappointed. He just picked up a small ant again and experimented.

Ingest! Ingest! Ingest...

In the green medicinal field, the leaves of the bloodweed swayed in the wind, as if a layer of green waves were blowing, mixed with Lin Qi's mechanical voice.

Shaoqing, Lin Qi stared at the leaves of the Blood Grass, his face was like wrinkled bark, without any vitality.

There used to be about ten small ants on the leaves, but now they are empty.

Regardless of whether it is a dead ant that cannot die anymore or a small ant whose limbs are still moving after the experiment, there is still a cold number on the system panel - zero.

"I finally understand the meaning of this sentence. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!" Lin Qi's smile showed that it was far-fetched, and he was completely discouraged.

He is also a man of flesh and blood. Do you really think his heart is iron-clad?

Even if you give him 0.1 life energy, you can at least see a glimmer of hope.

The blood-changing grass is a type of plant, and the little ant is a type of animal. The results were all in vain, not even a splash of life energy was seen.

So angry!

For a moment, Lin Qi dragged his long shadow and stood motionless.

When he looked back at the Blood Grass leaves still in the bucket, the reluctance in his heart became even stronger.

As the saying goes, a bullet that comes out of the barrel never looks back!

Are you worse than an emotionless bullet?

What if it is because the life energy that the little ant can hold is so small that it cannot meet the standard of a little life energy.

If this is the case, if he gives up now, will he slap himself in the face in the future?

Lin Qi clenched his fists and his eyes became firm again: "Put it on!"

As time goes by, there are more and more leaves of the Blood Grass on the edge of the barrel, and the little ants gradually pile up into a black "hill".

Lin Qi dipped his sleeve into the sweat on his forehead and held the last little ant between his trembling fingers.

Before, he caught nearly a hundred ants in total.

The resulting situation was that not even an ant leg could be found around the entire ant nest.

But no matter how crazy he is, he still knows how to make a profit.

Therefore, Lin Qi did not dig deep into the ant nest.

If this last ant cannot bring him life energy, there is no guarantee that he will be able to maintain his sanity and stop causing trouble in the ant nest.

"Little ant! Little ant, whether your favorite sexy queen can survive depends on your ability! Don't let me down!" Lin Qi said with a smile.
