Chapter 166 New Exploration
Leaving the queen ant here to study, Su Ze recruited a flying ant more than 20 meters long and asked it to take him around the underground nest world.
The queen ant's location was not the deepest part of the nest. She came to the hollow passage again and continued to fly down for who knows how many kilometers. Finally, she passed the horizontal line under the giant peak and arrived under the earth.
After merging the three auras, the queen's reproductive ability was greatly increased, and she hatched many insects and ants with digging abilities. They hollowed out the entire giant peak in one go, and dug deep into the ground.
During the excavation process, Su Ze discovered that there were many spiritual minerals inside the mountain. However, he had not issued an order to collect them before, so these insects and ants simply ignored them.
After spending several days traveling around the depths of the earth, he left the underground world and entered the surface along the passage that insects and ants usually use.
Flying ants emerged from a barren valley, surrounded by insects and ants coming and going, and there was no green color at all.
Flying ants fly high in the sky, and you can see that there is a barren area for hundreds of kilometers around them. This lush primitive jungle has been eaten up by them.
However, a few hundred kilometers further on, the green, primitive and barbaric scenery that was common in prehistoric times was restored.
Densely packed insects and ants entered the wilderness, killing each other, hunting, and being killed by various wild beasts in the lush jungle.
"roar!"
A ferocious beast that was hundreds of meters tall and covered in red scales emerged from a smoking volcano. It opened its mouth and a torrent of flames swept through it, burning a large number of insects and ants into coke.
A ferocious beast with a carapace full of hollow round holes sprang out from a deep valley. Large plumes of thick smoke spurted out from the holes in its body. Wherever the thick smoke touched, all the insects, ants, and the vegetation on the ground turned into black. Ash.
Su Ze stood in the air and silently looked down.
Although there are many insects and ants, they are not small in size. Each of them is as big as a buffalo. However, the ferocious beasts in the ancient wilderness are too fierce. The insect beasts that breed in so many areas only occupy an area of hundreds of kilometers. No matter how far away they are, they are powerful. If you don't catch it, you can't expand.
"The overall quantity is not enough, and neither is the individual strength."
Su Ze pinched his chin and thought about how, if he were an ant queen, how to adjust the genes of insects and ants to adapt to the environment in the wild.
While I was thinking, suddenly the call of the ant queen came to my mind.
He immediately returned to the underground nest and saw the evolving queen.
It’s not an evolution. To be precise, it’s adjusting itself and preparing for the next changes.
Su Ze watched silently until the queen ant finished adjusting.
Overall, there hasn't been much change. The appearance is still the lower production part, and the upper human form. The main change should be the internal change of the lower production part.
The image given before came into play, and the rearranged upper body of the ant queen finally no longer looked abstract and eye-catching. After changing its form, it transformed into the upper body of a giant beauty several hundred meters tall.
Although this change doesn't make much sense, the only difference from before is that it's not eye-catching.
The main change is the lower production area.
Following a surge in the birth area, an egg-like egg with a diameter of about five meters rolled out of the birth channel, splitting halfway to reveal an egg inside.
It looked like a centaur with six legs. , four arms, covered with thick horny carapace.
Two of the four arms are normal claws, and the five nails look quite flexible, while the other two are very thick, like a mace, and can change shape, transforming into a hoe, shovel, hammer, and ax right under Su Ze's eyes. Wait and start digging the ground.
The hard rock was easily dug out, and the stone was pried up and carried to the back at a very fast speed.
"This is a worker bug."
The gentle voice of the ant queen came from behind Su Ze.
Then the production part surged again, and an egg that was several times larger than before rolled out of the production channel, splitting quickly, and out of it emerged an extremely ferocious insect beast that looked like a fighting machine.
This insect beast was over ten meters in size when unfolded. Its body was covered with thick horn, and its body was covered with spikes. It had eight legs, six arms, and an extremely long and flexible tail.
The eight legs can move flexibly on any terrain, and can even climb 90-degree cliffs and overhead ceilings without falling. The six arms, like the two special arms of the previous worker insect, can also be transformed into various weapon forms. .
"This is a soldier insect, dedicated to fighting!"
Then, the birth part of the queen ant surged again, this time for a long time, and finally produced a new egg again.
The new egg is slightly larger than a soldier ant. After splitting, a flying soldier insect that is similar to a soldier insect but has two pairs of wings emerges from it.
After hatching these three species, the queen ant stopped producing new eggs and said with expectant eyes:
"Master, these are the three basic descendants I designed based on your information. What do you think?"
Su Ze nodded and praised:
"good."
"But there are too few types. Are there only these three?"
The queen ant immediately replied:
"These three types are designed based on my own bloodline. If you want more types, you need to devour more flesh and blood to derive them."
"Can."
"By the way, what is the production speed of these worker insects and soldier insects?"
"With sufficient energy, worker insects can produce 500 insects per day, soldier insects can only produce 100 insects per day, and flying insects can only produce 50 insects per day."
"So few?"
"Master, my power is not strong enough yet. When my tribe expands, my power will gradually increase and the production speed will speed up."
"Oh." Su Ze nodded and said to her: "Then your main task now is to expand the group. I hope you can give me a surprise next time I see you."
"I won't disappoint my master."
"Um!"
"The prehistoric version of the Zerg, interesting!"
After leaving these words, Su Ze turned and left.
This was considered a small investment, and he didn't know what changes the queen ant that combined the advantages of various insect swarms in the main world could bring to the ancient world.
Although he is not very optimistic about it.
The prehistoric level is really too high. Although this soldier ant is not small in size and looks very ferocious in appearance, it is actually just a lookalike.
It is a terrifying threat to mortals in the main world, but it is not a big threat to monks, and it is no threat to the ferocious insects and beasts in the ancient world.
In the final analysis, just like the insect swarm, it relies on numerical superiority to kill powerful opponents.
Su Ze's only expectation is the evolutionary ability of the queen ant. I wonder if she can continuously absorb the genetic advantages of the ancient insect beasts and make the insect swarm continue to evolve.
If you can't do it, you don't have to hope. In the future, you can only become a miner to help mine.
If it can be done, it will be an extremely powerful combat force that can be of great use.
Before leaving Landing Point No. 2, Su Ze adjusted the position of Landing Point No. 2 to the position of the Queen Ant, which just blocked her position and prevented her from being caught by a strong enemy.
Coming out of the landing point, the Earthly Light Shuttle soared into the sky and flew in one of the directions.
The Taiyi Golden Linzhou was destroyed within a short period of time. The Bi Chenzhou was too big to take risks in the wilderness, so we had to use the Earthly Light Shuttle to make do with it first.
Wait until you arrive at Ziyun Immortal Palace to see if you can buy a fourth-level shuttle.
Speaking of which, he had appealed to the school to ask the Zhong family to compensate for the damaged Taiyi Golden Scale Boat and the ten top-quality spiritual stones used, but unfortunately the Zhong family did not bother him.
Fortunately, Zhong Yongcheng's storage space was profitable, otherwise he would have lost money.
The direction he was traveling this time was deeper into the mountains. The last time he came here, he originally wanted to go deeper, but he felt it was too dangerous and stopped, so he temporarily made a No. 2 landing point here.
This time I broke through the golden elixir and could have four landing points, so I simply continued my unfinished exploration and took a closer look.
The Chedi Youguang Shuttle shuttled through the high sky and quickly headed deep into the mountains.
From a distance, you can see a huge shadow in front of you on the left, which gradually becomes clearer as the distance gets closer. It is a giant peak thousands of kilometers high.
One side of the giant peak is straight and the other side is gently sloping. The top is densely covered with jungle and all kinds of insects and beasts are mixed together.
When the Chedi Light Shuttle went around the straight cliff of the giant peak, it saw a huge hole with a diameter of dozens of kilometers in the lower waist of the giant beast that was thousands of kilometers high. Mist was rolling inside, and there was a faint sight of a huge fire inside. Burning, I don’t know what it is.
He didn't dare to get closer because just looking at it made his hair stand on end.
After the Chechi Light Shuttle passed this giant peak for a certain distance, he suddenly sensed something. He turned his head and looked to the left. In the direction where there should be nothing, a huge shadow with no head and no head suddenly appeared in the sky.
It didn't look like a mountain, but rather like a human figure.
Strong curiosity suddenly arose in his heart, and he controlled the light shuttle to change its direction.
After traveling less than a hundred miles, the shuttle suddenly trembled slightly, and then it seemed as if it had passed through a film of light, and it felt like the world was darkening.
"Is this entering another realm?"
Su Ze stretched out his hand out of the window and could feel the faint mist in the void clinging to the skin of his fingers like life, giving it a cold feeling.
Dead air.
But it doesn't look like death.
The mist can be dispersed with a slight shock, but this situation is quite strange.
The flying boat flew forward quickly, aiming at a huge mountain shadow at the front. It flew four and a half million kilometers in one breath without touching anything. Moreover, the giant peak in front of him that he regarded as the target had crossed four and a half million kilometers. It's still so blurry, as if it's not close.
"strangeness!"
Su Ze felt vaguely uneasy, but he did not flinch.
Anyway, if you encounter danger, you can use a spiritual light to teleport home at any time. If you step back 10,000 steps and you are really in danger, you will be in danger. It is not real. Next time you log in, you will be a hero again.
With this in mind, Su Ze ignored the uneasiness in his heart and continued to move forward.
I don’t know how long I flew, but it was probably several times the distance of half a million kilometers. It was only when the huge mountain shadow target in front finally became clearer that I saw the second giant peak.
The size of this giant peak is several times that of the outside, and its height is at least five thousand kilometers.
However, although the mountain is still covered with lush jungle, the color has become weird. It is not the emerald green of life, but a gray green, dark green, the combination of death and life, which looks extremely weird.
Moreover, not a single living creature was seen in the jungle in the mountain, and not a single one of the ferocious insects and beasts that would normally be densely packed in the jungle was seen on this mountain.
