Volume 1 Endless Wilderness Chapter 44 Ant Nest
"Zhizhizhi..."
One night a few days later, Chen Xing was sleeping when he was suddenly awakened by a burst of insects.
The sound came from the iron wardrobe. There was nothing in it, but the corridor of the ant nest. There must be something urgent for Su Na to send worker ants to find him at this time.
As expected, as soon as he opened the closet, a small termite kept shouting at him, bit his trouser leg and pulled it into the corridor.
"Wait a minute, I need to get the equipment." Chen Xing said. The little termite immediately let go and huddled aside, waiting.
After a while, Chen Xing changed his clothes, put on military boots, and followed the little termite into the corridor with an assault rifle on his back. The little termite seemed to be in a hurry, crawling very fast, and turned around and called to him from time to time, as if to urge him.
Chen Xing couldn't help but speed up his pace. Four primary agility potions raised his agility attribute to 18 points, making him move much faster. If it had been before, he might not have been able to keep up with the little termites.
After walking for five or six minutes on a straight road, it started to go downhill, then made many twists and turns, and suddenly there was a hissing sound in front of me.
"grumble!"
There was anger in the voice. Chen Xing immediately recognized that it was the cry of the ant queen Su Na.
"Chi-chi-chi!" The little termite raised its head high and made a sharp insect sound as if it had been injected with chicken blood, and rushed towards the incubation room at high speed.
Instead, Chen Xing slowed down, took off his assault rifle, held it with both hands, muzzle downward, and moved forward with small steps.
The chirping sound in front was getting louder and louder. In addition to the sound of termites, there was also a relatively low chirp of insects. It seemed that the two sides were fighting. Chen Xing bent down and got out of the tunnel. The beam of the flashlight shone over and saw that he was not far away.
, a group of immature termite workers are fighting to the death around two huge creatures.
Taking a closer look, they saw two huge mutated spiders. They were covered with black hair, and there were two rows of eyes on their heads, a total of twelve, which were emitting scarlet light. Looking further down, they saw eight long and
The thick spider legs have dark yellow cuticles wrapped around the feet, which are hook-shaped and have very sharp ends.
At this moment, the battle in the incubation room was extremely fierce, and the ground was full of termite corpses and broken eggs. Su Na moved her huge body and rushed to the front line, waving seven or eight sickle-shaped legs, forcing them to
A spider retreated step by step.
The other one was constantly killing small termites, piercing their bodies with hooks, then putting them into its mouth and chewing them.
Chen Xing picked up the gun, aimed at the big spider's head, and concentrated his energy. The psychic factors escaped and gradually enveloped the bullet in the gun chamber.
"Bang!"
A few seconds later, a blue bullet appeared in the sky. The moment the gun barrel exploded, the blue light illuminated the entire underground space like a vast ocean.
The brilliance passed quickly and exploded on the head of the second mutant spider. Blue star sand scattered everywhere, like sparks from the collision of iron tools.
The spider stood frozen on the spot, and when the light dissipated, there was only a hole where the head had been, with yellow mucus coming out. Chen Xing was afraid of hurting Su Na, so he did not choose to fight with Su Na.
That spider is the target.
After killing one, the other gave a long cry, turned around and ran away. Chen Xing could not let it slip away, but another power bullet rushed out of the barrel of the gun, punching a hole as big as a bowl in the belly of the big spider.
Behind the big spider, there was a long trail of yellow body fluid. After running for a while, its body suddenly tilted and could no longer move. The remaining termite workers immediately swarmed up and bit it to death.
"What's going on?" Chen Xing put away his gun and asked Su Na, who was covered in scratches.
"I...I want the baby to go there last time to find something, the things my brother liked..." Su Na told Chen Xing the situation through telepathy.
In order to please Chen Xing, Su Na asked worker ants to dig out the collapsed tunnel, hoping to find those "fun little toys". However, she didn't expect that as soon as they dug through, two big spiders came out and ate them.
of termite workers, and chased them all the way to the incubation room.
"How is your injury? Is it serious?" Chen Xing asked.
"Su Na is fine, it's just a skin injury, it doesn't hurt." Su Na said with a smile.
Chen Xing walked around Su Na twice and found no deep wounds, so he felt relieved.
After getting along with each other these days, he feels more and more that this cheap sister is well-behaved and obedient, and is easy to use. Ye Yang Bailiu also has a little temper, and sometimes he has to wait for him. This sister does not have the slightest temper, she is docile, cute, and full of heart.
I think about my brother and give him whatever good things I have.
For Chen Xing now, Su Na is like a beloved toy that cannot be broken by others.
"Brother, it really doesn't hurt Su Na." Su Na said coquettishly, as if she was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Chen Xing.
"What, can't you take a look?" Chen Xing asked with a cold look on his face.
"You, you, look at it~" Suna said giggling, her face turned red.
"Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you." Chen Xing said with a gentle smile.
Later, Chen Xing asked the termites to lead the way and blew up the tunnel leading to the spider's nest to avoid being attacked again.
These two big spiders broke in and crushed at least one-third of the eggs in the incubation room, and killed more than fifty small termites. It could be said to add insult to injury and cause extremely heavy losses.
"During this period, you dig out all the potentially dangerous tunnels. I will take care of the food problem." After returning to the incubation room, Chen Xing said to Su Na.
They had had a detailed exchange before. Su Na told Chen Xing everything about the operation of the ant nest.
Normally, the life cycle of termite workers is two years, with the larval stage lasting 15 days and the young stage lasting 45 days. From hatching to adult, it takes two months.
The life cycle of termites and soldier ants is ten years. However, these ten years are ten years in a dormant state. If they continue to be active, the life cycle will be very short, less than one hundred and twenty days.
The larval stage of soldier ants lasts for twenty days, and the juvenile stage lasts for seventy days. From hatching to adult, it takes three months. After that, there is only a life cycle of less than thirty days left. You must dig a hole to hibernate, otherwise
Will die soon.
Then there are the eggs.
Suna can lay more than a hundred insect eggs every natural month. If more resources can be obtained, such as the corpses and crystal nuclei of advanced mutant creatures, or other substances containing spiritual energy, and a sufficient amount of iron elements,
She can evolve from an "ordinary termite queen" to an "iron-clad termite queen". In addition to being covered in iron armor, she can produce nearly a thousand eggs every natural month.
If you obtain further resources, you can ignite the "spiritual fire" in the crystal core and evolve into a "hundred nest ant queen" who can lay over a thousand eggs per day and can teleport over short distances. It is even said to be able to tear apart space.
, the "Star-Eating Queen Ant" that devours the core of the planet.
This information automatically flowed into Suna's mind when she became the Termite Queen, and is knowledge inherited from the species.
Currently, there are more than 700 eggs and more than 60 young worker ants in the ant nest. It will take at least two months to recover and become self-sufficient. During this period, Chen Xing must provide at least ten ants every day.
A corpse is needed to ensure the operation of the ant nest.
