Chapter 1 The Cruel Scene

The scene before them was undoubtedly cruel, but it was also a major reason Fang Senyan judged that the ant colony wasn't playing tricks. No ant colony would be willing to pay such a terrible price to deceive the enemy. Such a bitter ploy, even if successful, would be a loss.

As mentioned before, the development of a unicorn flying ant larva largely depends on its food.

At this time, the larvae that survived in the hatching room had all devoured ant eggs or other larvae. The way they developed was also very strange, completely different from other unicorn flying ants. They had mutated fiercely and were extremely violent and warlike.

Ramtas rushed up with excitement. The big guy began to greedily prey on these mutated unicorn flying ant larvae. Although these larvae were fierce, they were like young lions unable to contend with adult hyenas. Ramtas rushed up, swinging his club, making excited pig-like noises, and easily knocked them out one by one, impatiently stuffing them into his stomach, allowing his six stomachs to fully absorb their nutrients.

After a hearty meal, Ramtas roared in pain, then frantically dug into the ground and buried himself.

After waiting for several minutes, a huge dirt cocoon slowly arched out of the ground. Then, the mud shell cracked, and a mighty figure stood up, shamelessly doing the signature muscle-flexing pose of a bodybuilder, breaking the dry mud shell everywhere, so that Fang Senyan was covered in dirt and looked quite disheveled.

Clearly, Ramtas had successfully evolved after eating these larvae like a box of mimi Oreo cookies. This was something even the originator, Fang Senyan, hadn't expected. It seemed that this evolutionary ability was a new feature gifted by Fang Senyan when he added his blood while preparing the potion.

At this time, Ramtas looked even taller, and his vital parts were covered with ant-like exoskeletons. Some of his pig bristles had turned into ant antennae.

Fang Senyan could clearly sense through the bloodline that the biggest changes in this guy were in two aspects:

First, his strength had at least doubled. Second, he had gained an ability called acid attack, which allowed him to vomit strong acid from his stomach to attack enemies, and that strong acid was as difficult to remove as chewing gum.

In addition, his sensory abilities were stronger, and his health and defense had also improved to varying degrees.

To put it bluntly, if Ramtas's frontal combat power was previously inferior to Paul's metal combat puppet, then now he had the ability to directly confront Heracles, and Ramtas's auxiliary abilities and ease of use were not comparable to Heracles at all.

Of course, Paul's envious gaze at this time doesn't need much description.

Although it was dark and sunless inside the cave, it was possible to calculate the time based on how long they'd been in there. It was already daylight outside, and the others in the team, unless they were blind, would definitely know that the three of them had "disappeared."

What is the greatest pain in the world? Of course, it is when all obstacles have been cleared, and someone else comes to pick the fruits...

Well, for the reader to further understand, in game terms, it's when you get the boss down to a sliver of health, and suddenly a few people rush out, PK you, then take that sliver of health, and also get multiple pieces of equipment to sell...

So, the group also hurried back to the three-way intersection in the ant nest, heading towards the largest passage. According to Fang Senyan's judgment, this should be the road leading to the queen's chamber, and Ramtas's sense of smell supported Fang Senyan's judgment.

After going nearly a hundred meters into this fork, three artificial humans suddenly stopped and reacted at the same time. They began to take out portable reading instruments from their backpacks. This instrument, as mentioned before, can very sensitively measure the content of pi elements.

At this time, the screen on the reading instrument was emitting a deep green light! This shows that there is a medium-purity pi element vein within ten kilometers.

When the artificial humans adjusted the concentration index of the instrument upward, the light on the screen was still deep green. The only explanation was that the reserves of the vein were also quite rich.

However, Fang Senyan couldn't help but sigh. Because the reading instrument didn't react when they entered the cave, but only reacted when they went deep into the nest. Then, it was very likely that this medium-purity pi element vein was ten kilometers deep underground... The mining value of this kind of vein is actually very low, because the cost of investing in mining is astronomical. So, it is almost impossible to pass the test by relying on this discovery.

Suddenly, the "ladybug" flying in front trembled, then flew and crashed into the wall next to it. There was a crisp clang, and then it caught fire and burned. After flying a few meters with difficulty in the air, it fell to the ground, sizzling. The outer shell was obviously corroded by acid.

Fortunately, Fang Senyan and the others had already prepared to be attacked. As soon as they noticed something was wrong, they immediately threw out several fluorescent sticks. These fluorescent sticks can also float in the air, but they are not afraid of attacks. Being chopped into several sections will actually make the light source become brighter, immediately illuminating the surrounding environment.

It could be seen that there was a small hole where the acid was previously sprayed, but now soil began to fall down, rustling. Then, the soil flew up, and with a loud bang, the wall of the ant nest on the right already had dense cracks!

Then, the entire wall made a dying groan like a weak old man, and then collapsed. As the clods of earth splashed, half a fluorescent stick flew into the space behind the collapsed wall, and saw that the inside space was extremely large. Two male ants and three worker ants had already collapsed in the pale blue body fluid, looking incomplete, having been eaten for the most part!!

Occupying most of the hall was a clearly carefully arranged nest. There was a trough-like design in front of the nest, and many gaps had been gnawed out of the trough. Furthermore, it could be seen that there was actually a fleshy red behemoth in the nest, which looked like a shriveled pocket, or half a train car, which was very huge and amazing. It looked like it was covered with wrinkles and depressions. At one end of the fleshy red behemoth, there was a clear wound, about the size of a millstone. A lot of intestinal organs overflowed from the section of the wound, and a blue-black body fluid kept gushing out.

When they saw this situation, everyone present knew what had happened. Obviously, the ant queen felt a strong threat. At the same time, under the torment of hunger, it actually directly killed and swallowed the bodies of the worker ants and male ants around it, and then forcibly bit off the connecting part of the torso, separating the bulky egg sac from the body.

In this way, it was obvious that the ant queen would not live too long, but it at least gained freedom in a short period of time, and had the opportunity to perish with the enemy. From this, it could be seen that this guy really had a very strong intelligence, no less than that of humans.

But, but! What made a strong sense of crisis emerge in the hearts of the three people was, where exactly was the ant queen who was ruthless to her own people and even more ruthless to herself? Up to now, Fang Senyan and the others had only seen the traces left by this guy after the battle, and had not found where its main body was.

A thought immediately emerged in Fang Senyan's mind:

"If I were the ant queen, what would I do?"

This thought immediately found the answer in his mind, so Fang Senyan decisively turned around and fled. His behavior undoubtedly set a very good example for the other two, so the three of them had just escaped for five or six seconds when a violent vibration and a loud noise immediately came from behind. Then, a thick leg section slammed into the wall and stretched out, and cracks spread out in an instant, and a large amount of soil began to fall from the top of the cave...

The idea of this terrifying ant queen was actually to bury Fang Senyan and the three of them alive!

Obviously, its biological ability was to move freely underground, so Fang Senyan and the others could not see the whereabouts of this monster at all. Therefore, if they fought this guy underground, there was no doubt that it could only be described as a dead end!

Fortunately, the running speed of the three people was quite good. Paul was a weakness in this regard, but Fang Senyan ordered Ramtas to carry him to run, and this move still made Paul feel quite warm.

When entering the cave, the group was careful, and now running away, they naturally went all out. With the power of the contractors, they escaped in less than two minutes. At this time, it was already bright, and Fang Senyan observed the environment, and then directly retreated to the foot of the mushroom rock, even if the ant queen had special abilities, it would probably take a lot of strength to travel through the rocks.

The three of them knew at this time that since the ant queen had bitten off its own torso and abandoned the egg sac, it showed that it had the determination to die, so it must hate the three of them to the bone. No matter where the three of them escaped to, they must kill it in order to have peace of mind in the future.

Since the hatred was natural, there was no need to worry about this guy slipping away, so they simply chose a favorable terrain to stand by and wait.

At this time, Fang Senyan naturally began to distribute potions. Aldaris blessed everyone with an ion shield, and the enemy would be burned when approaching, while Paul inserted his hands into the ground and closed his eyes.

It could be clearly seen that the metal components in the nearby earth began to be extracted by Paul's powerful ability, shining brightly and floating in the air, and then blessed on the vital parts of everyone's body.

And the ant queen did not let them wait too long. It found that the collapse plan had failed, and began to pursue relentlessly, and then slowly appeared in the soil in the distance!
