The scene in front of Sheyan was undoubtedly very cruel, but it was also an important reason why Sheyan was sure that the ant colony was not playing any tricks. No ant colony would be willing to pay such a heavy price to confuse the enemy. It could be said that even if he won, the gains would not make up for the losses.
As mentioned before, the development of the One-Horned Flying Ant larvae largely depended on the food they ate.
At this time, in the incubation room, the surviving larvae were the ones that had swallowed the ant eggs or other larvae. They had developed very strange appearances, completely different from the rest of the One-horned Flying Ants. They had mutated very violently and were very aggressive.
Ramtas rushed up excitedly and began to greedily prey on the mutated One-Horned Flying Ant larvae. Although these larvae were ferocious, no matter how ferocious a lion cub was, it could not compete with an adult hyena. After Ramtas rushed up, it waved its stick and squealed excitedly. It did not take much effort to knock out the larvae one by one. It could not wait to stuff the larvae into its stomach so that its six stomachs could fully absorb the nutrients in them.
After a full meal, Ramtas began to roar in pain. It dug into the ground violently and buried itself.
After waiting for tens of minutes, a gigantic earth egg slowly arched out from the ground. Following that, the mud shell broke apart, and a mighty figure stood out. Then, he unscrupulously displayed the signature muscle movements of a bodybuilder, causing the dry mud shell to shatter everywhere. Sheyan's face was covered in dirt, and he looked battered and exhausted.
Obviously, Ramtas had successfully evolved after eating these larvae as if they were barrels of MIMI Oreo biscuits. This was something that even Sheyan did not expect. It seemed that this evolutionary ability was a new function that came with the addition of Sheyan's blood when he mixed the potion.
Ramtas now looked even taller. An ant-like carapace had appeared on the vital parts of its body, and some of its bristles had turned into ant antennae.
Sheyan could clearly sense through his bloodline that the biggest changes to Ramtas were in two aspects:
The first was that its strength had at least doubled. The second was that it had gained an ability called acid attack. It could spit out a strong acid from its stomach to attack the enemy, and the acid was as difficult to remove as chewing gum.
In addition, its senses had become stronger, and its HP and defence had also increased to varying degrees.
Frankly speaking, if Ramtas' frontal combat power was not as good as Paul's metal battle puppet before, it now had the ability to fight Hercules head-on. Moreover, Ramtas' support ability and ease of worry were not something Hercules could compare to.
Of course, Paul's envious eyes at the moment did not need to be described.
Although the cave was completely dark, without any light penetrating in, one could estimate that the sky outside was already bright. As long as the rest of the party weren't blind, they would definitely know of the trio's' disappearance '.
What was the greatest pain in the world? Of course, it was the pain of someone else coming to pick the fruits of your labor after all the obstacles had been cleared ….
Oh, in order to make it easier for the readers to understand, I'll explain it in game terms. When a boss only had a sliver of health left, a few people would suddenly appear and PK you. Then, they would happily take over the boss with only a sliver of health left. Not only that, the boss would drop many pieces of equipment that could be sold for RMB …
Therefore, the party hurried back to the three-way fork in the ant nest and walked towards the largest passage. According to Sheyan's judgement, this should be the path leading to the ant queen's room. Ramtas' sense of smell also supported Sheyan's judgement.
After going nearly a hundred meters into the fork, three cyborgs suddenly stopped and reacted at the same time. They took out the portable reading device in their backpacks. As mentioned before, this device could measure the content of Pi element very sensitively.
At this moment, the screen of the reading device was emitting a dark green light! This meant that there was already a medium-purity Pi vein within ten kilometers.
When the cyborgs raised the concentration index of the device, the light on the screen was still dark green. The only explanation was that the vein was also quite rich in Pi.
But Sheyan could not help but sigh. The reading device did not react when they entered the nest, but it only reacted when they went deeper into the nest. So it was very likely that the medium-purity Pi vein was as deep as ten kilometers underground …. The mining value of a vein of this level was actually very low, because the cost of mining it was astronomical, so it was almost impossible for them to report back with this discovery.
Suddenly, the "ladybug" flying in front trembled and crashed into the wall next to it. With a loud clang, it burst into flames. After flying a few meters in the air with great difficulty, it fell to the ground with a sizzling sound. Its outer shell had obviously been corroded by acid.
Fortunately, Sheyan and the others were already prepared to be attacked. As soon as they sensed that something was wrong, they immediately threw out a few light sticks. These light sticks could also float in the air, so they were not afraid of being attacked. After being cut into pieces, the light source would become even brighter, illuminating the surroundings.
There was a small hole in the spot where the acid was sprayed, but now, soil began to rustle down from the hole. Then, soil flew into the air. With a loud bang, dense cracks appeared on the wall of the ant nest on the right!
Then, the whole wall let out a groan like that of a weak old man on the verge of death, and collapsed. Amidst the splashing of soil, half of a fluorescent stick flew into the collapsed wall, revealing a huge space inside. Two male ants and three worker ants were lying paralyzed in light blue body fluids. Their limbs seemed to be incomplete, and more than half of their bodies had been gnawed away!!
Occupying a small part of the hall was a nest that had obviously been meticulously arranged. The front of the nest had a trough-like design, and the trough had been gnawed with many holes. Inside the nest, there was a huge flesh-red object. It looked like a shriveled bag, but also like half a train carriage. It was astonishingly huge, and its surface was covered with wrinkles and depressions. At one end of the flesh-red object, there was a clear wound about the size of a millstone. A lot of intestines and organs overflowed from the wound, and a greenish-black body fluid kept gushing out.
As soon as they saw this, everyone present knew what had happened. The ant queen had obviously felt a strong threat. At the same time, under the torment of hunger, it had directly killed and devoured the bodies of the worker ants and male ants around it. Then, it had forcibly bitten off the connecting part of the body, separating the heavy egg sac from the body.
Obviously, the ant queen would not live for long, but it had at least gained freedom for a short period of time, giving it a chance to perish together with the enemy. From this, it could be seen that this ant queen had a very high intelligence, comparable to that of humans.
But, but! What made the three of them feel a strong sense of crisis was, where was the ant queen that was ruthless to its own kind and even more ruthless to itself? So far, Sheyan and the others had only seen the traces left behind by the ant queen after the battle. They had not found its real body.
A thought immediately came to Sheyan's mind.
"What would I do if I were the ant queen?"
This terrifying ant queen was actually planning to bury the three of them alive!
Obviously, its biological ability allowed it to move freely underground, so Sheyan and the others could not see the whereabouts of this monster at all. If they fought this monster underground, they would undoubtedly die!
Fortunately, all three of them had decent running speed. Paul was his shortcoming in this regard, but Sheyan still ordered Ramtas to carry him while they ran. This action made Paul feel very warm inside.
When they entered the cave, they were very cautious, but now they were running with all their might. With the strength of contestants, they escaped in less than two minutes. The sky was already bright. Sheyan observed the surroundings for a while, then retreated to the foot of the mushroom rock. Even if the ant queen had an ability, it would still take a lot of energy for it to travel through the rock.
At this time, the three of them all knew that since the queen had bitten off its torso and abandoned its egg sac, it must have already decided to die. Then, it must hate the three of them to the bone. No matter where they fled to, it must kill them in order to have a quick escape.
Since the hatred was already there, there was no need to worry about the ant escaping, so Sheyan and the others chose a favorable terrain and waited.
Aldaris cast an ion shield on everyone, which would burn the enemy if they got close. Paul stuck his hands into the ground and closed his eyes. Aldaris was the one who had cast an ion shield on everyone, which would burn the enemy if they got close.
They could clearly see that the metal components in the ground nearby were being extracted by Paul's powerful ability. The metal glittered in the air and was applied to everyone's vital parts.
The ant queen did not make them wait for too long. When it discovered that its plan to collapse the cave had failed, it began to chase after them. It slowly appeared in the soil in the distance!
