The Ultimate Evolution - 1103. Chapter 1103

In Fang Senyan’s world, according to some common sense he has learned, the habits of ants in each region are also different.

African ants like to live in “buildings”,

Even if there are no conditions, these guys will use trees as the skeleton to build towering ant hills and ant hills, which are several meters in height, ranging from a dozen meters in height, and are extremely hard. An adult uses a big ax to cut it up, and it is actually Mars. Splashing around, can’t damage its appearance in the slightest.

Most ants like to live underground,

Compared with their small size, the construction area of underground ant nests can even reach dozens of square meters, similar to storage rooms, nursery nests, queen rooms, tunnels, small rooms, residences…. Different divisions of labor and various supporting facilities. The facilities are complete and in fashionable terms, it is beyond the CBD.

For this group of unicorn flying ants on the planet Uplos, they have the habit of both.

Its worker ants always make nests on the mushroom rock, because in this way, they can make full use of the advantage of being condescending, living high and seeing far, monitoring their entire territory like a sentinel, and clustering in groups if there is an accident. The team swarmed out.

The queen of the unicorn flying ant and the male guard ants live comfortably in the magnificent underground nest under the mushroom rock.

If half of the Mushroom Rock hadn’t collapsed and the two or three hundred worker ants hiding in it had been destroyed, it would be impossible for Fang Senyan and his party to come here to clean up the sacred nest of the ant colony.

Although Aldarius had only rushed for his life before and did not go so deep under the mushroom rock, this did not prevent him from quickly finding the entrance to the underground ant nest, because these one-horned flying ants crawled here all day, although they hunted Sometimes it is flying, but when feeding male and queen ants with food, they crawl in and out. So you only need to see where there is no grass growing, and it is as smooth as a trail, then just walk along.

The entrance of the underground ant nest is just below the rocky mountain at the root of Mushroom Rock. Because the size of the unicorn flying ant is similar to that of a lion, the entrance of the cave is also tall and spacious, and it is very smooth and flat without bad smell. It looks like a black hole.

At this point in the battle until now, Paul’s powerful metal puppet Hercules has been leading the way. The surface of this huge puppet has also been corroded by a lot of sprayed formic acid, and the original smooth surface is also pitted.

More importantly, there are many magic circles engraved on the surface of the metal puppets. Once activated, those magic circles will quickly show signs of net-like flow of energy, emitting bursts of red light, which helps to bless the “brute bull power”. “, “Anti-gravity” and so on.

At this time, after being corroded by formic acid, most of the magic circle on the metal puppet was destroyed. When it was walking, it obviously felt a lot of weight, and the joints would make a harsh crunch, as if it was not oiled. In general, the speed of action is also exceptionally heavy.

Paul must always support the operation of the metal puppets at this time, and the consumption of mental power is also very large. After coming here, he can only watch the two make a helpless gesture. The two of Fang Senyan knew that he definitely still had the hole cards, but after all, Paul had put out a lot of strength to kill all the way, and it was impossible to demand him any more at this time.

So Fang Senyan didn’t say anything, and asked Paul to take his metal puppet Hercules in, and then asked Ramtas to come out and block in front.

In fact, this is also the depth of Paul’s scheming. He deliberately proposed his metal puppet Hercules to take the lead in order to let his puppet experience a relatively small battle, but a long-lasting battle.

And no one knows how powerful the queen is, and it is very likely that a crazy attack will occur, causing the metal puppet Hercules to be completely destroyed, so it is natural to behave before facing the queen.

Fang Senyan is very thorough in his calculations, but because he himself is the identity of MT, it doesn’t matter to Paul’s actions. , In short, as long as it does not exceed certain bottom lines, then his behavior can be tolerated.

Because ant colonies rely on touch and pheromone activities in their nests, there are no luminous objects in the black holes in the nests. However, before setting off, humans have long anticipated that there may be cave adventures in the future, so give In the menu they configured, a special detector called “Ladybug” was listed.

This high-energy special detector is about the size of a tennis ball. It uses gravity countermeasures technology to hover in the air and can fly at high speed and dexterously. It can also spread up to 50 meters of ultrasonic mesh exploration and drawing rays around it, accurately drawing out the cave. Geological conditions and related organisms. (Well, it’s actually the stuff in Prometheus)

Because the price of ladybirds is also quite expensive, Fang Senyan and the others only used one ladybird to fly 30 places in front and perform lighting work incidentally. After walking about forty meters into the ant nest, I feel that the air quality is still very good, and there is still wind from time to time.

Although the claw marks of the worker ants on the cave wall are clearly visible, they are quite smooth. Although they are definitely not comparable to human buildings, if you look closely, the walls are hard and smooth as if they are coated with a layer of glaze. Tap the finger lightly and even make a dull sound of “shell shell shell”.

Continuing on for about a hundred meters, everyone felt a sense of openness in front of them. The passage of the ant nest was originally the size of a train tunnel, but at this time it seemed to have entered a temporary stop platform. The “ladybug” also flew directly into the air twenty or thirty meters, shining on the audience, and you could clearly see that this should be the storage room of the ant nest.

There are piles of rhizomes, fruits, and of course the carcasses of wild beasts. The edible meat is squeezed into fist-sized pieces by worker ants, like beef jerky. The dehydrated air-dried piles are piled up together, and the rotten breath can be smelled only if they are very close.

Seeing the dense crawling traces on the ground, everyone felt a sense of fear. If this is an ant trap, dozens of worker ants suddenly rush out from all directions to encircle, then they really will not die and will peel off their skins. .

The most regrettable thing here is that the fur of many wild beasts is quite precious. Unfortunately, they were corroded by formic acid when they were hunted. Otherwise, it would be a huge wealth. Although it is still very valuable now, it must be Considering the huge cost of bringing these damaged items from the planet Uplos back to the Alpine VII base, there may even be more and better loot that needs to take up space in the future adventures, so they can only give up.

Continuing from the storage room, a three-way intersection appeared in front of him. At this time, Ramtas’s fat nose was twitching, and then he was very excited and aimed at the road on the left and started to roar, by the way. There was also a continuous hum of pigs, as if there was a female wild boar with a passion in it.

Fang Senyan originally planned to take the biggest intersection, but under the strong request of this guy, he could only change his route.

But this time I walked into the passage about fifty meters, and I smelled an indescribable breath. The smell was like washing the urine scale of the urinal with hydrochloric acid. The sour smell was suffocating, and the more The stronger the breath goes inside. Both Aldarius and Paul couldn’t help wearing gas masks.

When I reached the end of this passage, it was also a spacious hall. Many lattice-shaped caves were excavated in this hall. After arriving in this hall, Fang Senyan put his heart down, and it looked like this The ant colony is indeed at the end of the road, without any tricks, because no ant colony can afford such a price to confuse the enemy.

This is the nursery of the ant colony,

After the queen ants lay eggs, the worker ants will hold the eggs here for hatching, and the hatched larvae will also be taken care of by them.

Because the worker ants are almost all dead, it can be said that they have been in a state of disorder for a long time.

According to the information provided by Robot One, after the birth of the larvae of the unicorn flying ant, they have to eat nearly ten times a day (24 hours), all of which are fed by the worker ants. According to the order issued by the queen using the pheromone, different feeding food.

The vast majority of larvae will be fed to the “chyme” processed by the worker ants with powerful jaws. After the worker ants chew the fruit of the plant and a large amount of meat, they mix their saliva and store it in the crop to feed the larvae. They at least It takes more than four kilograms to be full at a time. Larvae that eat “chyme” will eventually hatch into worker ants.

While a very small part of the larvae are fed “chyme”, at least one meal a day will be fed “ant dew”, this thing is similar to the existence of royal jelly, it is usually the exclusive food of the queen, this part The larvae will be hatched into male ants for job transfer and breeding.

Only when the queen dies or the colony is divided, will the larvae be eligible to enjoy all the “ant dew”, and it will become the queen as soon as it is hatched.

At this time, at least the worker ants in the incubation room had lost their care for dozens of hours. Under the instinct of the hungry larvae, they naturally attacked the eggs and siblings around them. … the smell of rotting larvae or egg corpses is the source of the stench smelled by Fang Senyan and the others.
