I have to say that the efficiency of Ant World is very high.
The "Lu" incident ended yesterday, and today the protagonist learned that the only female ant in [Xinyang City], ah, no, is now the queen!
Let’s call her “Eve” (there has to be a name, don’t ask me why). As of tonight, “Eve” has laid the first batch of about 200 eggs.
Of these approximately 200 eggs, half are soldier ants and half are worker ants. After all, they are all the babies of the protagonist - the protagonist haha, who is not a baby yet!
(﹁“﹁)
According to the report from the angel who quietly sneaked to the nursery, this batch of eggs is quite strange. Other ant eggs are white and translucent, but this batch of eggs has a bit of yellow and red color, but the color is relatively light, and the overall color is still biased. white.
The worker ants in the nursery didn't pay attention to these small differences. Anyway, these eggs all carried the aura of the Angel King's army. They took care of all the ant eggs equally and would not pay any extra attention just because they were the descendants of the Angel King.
Tianxian is a big soldier ant, and he only discovered this after observing more carefully. He didn't say anything to anyone, and ran back to tell the protagonist. It seemed that yesterday's act of assistance also made her have a special liking for these eggs.
The protagonist didn't think it was anything strange. Recently, the food in the nest contained more aquatic products, including snails, shells, shrimps and seaweed found on the river beach. Maybe it has something to do with this.
Didn’t you see that flamingos eat these aquatic products every day and get pigments from their food, so they all look yellow and red...
The protagonist's descendants are more than just these 200 little ants. According to the plan, in the next three days, "Eve" will try its best to lay 200 eggs, but this extreme egg-laying method consumes a lot of money on the body. Even with the physical foundation of a young queen, plus the best daily supply Food cannot replenish this overdraft consumption, so it can only last for 3 days.
In the next few days, the queen ant can only maintain a rate of 50 eggs a day, and she will replenish her physical strength.
After learning the news, Jianiu ran over and asked the protagonist if he wanted to visit these eggs. He had visited his first batch of eggs after getting married.
Ants do not have the same father-son concept as humans. After all, the entire nest is related by kinship. As long as the seniority is distinguished, the next generation of ants is either the descendant of this male ant or the descendant of that male ant, and the genetic difference is not big. Ants don't mind inbreeding either, and it doesn't seem to be harmful.
But after all, they are intelligent creatures. After knowing that these eggs are their own offspring, they still have some different emotions. Therefore, it is not uncommon for young male ants to visit eggs with their own genes, but it is not uncommon, usually one or two. After the first time, the novelty wore off and I stopped doing it.
Jia Niu ran over to offer advice innocently, but the protagonist was so angry that he kicked him outside the palace. It was enough to make a cow dizzy for a while without using the huge power of "gods descending to earth".
dont see! dont see! What are you looking at?
Although he has become an ant, there is no mirror in this world (this mirror is not that mirror), and the protagonist will not see his appearance every day.
But if a bunch of little ants suddenly appear, and he is clearly told that this is his son or daughter, he will still be unable to accept the appearance of the child...at least temporarily!
The protagonist thought again: According to human habits, should he protect himself? Using power for personal gain? For example, to cultivate all the worker ants in one's own offspring into big worker ants? Are all soldier ants bred into giant soldier ants?
The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes...
——I am the dividing line——
Not to mention that the protagonist's offspring are happily hatching in the nursery.
After encountering the ants and fighting on June 20, the protagonist restrained his subordinates not to go to the Golden Beach to minimize the chance of conflict and wait for a month.
But the ants don't seem to want to give up. iBookstore
Although they were really weak chickens in a fight, after they came to their senses, the nature of ants still made it impossible for them to swallow this bad breath.
On June 22, a group of Angel King warriors who were looking for food reported that they had discovered dozens of ants on the river bank.
That river beach is only thirty meters away from [Xinyang City], and there is a beach of seventy or eighty meters away from the woods where the ant is located. There has never been any trace of the ant in this area before, which shows that this It's not the other party's normal scope of activities at all.
Then the other party's intentions are obviously not good.
In particular, the ants who reported back said that after the other party discovered their traces, they did not come up to attack, but sent a messenger to turn around and return.
The remaining ants neither attacked nor retreated. They always kept a safe distance from the warriors of the God's Envoy King and watched from the side.
Naturally, the warriors of the God Envoy King could not continue to forage with enemies watching from the sidelines, but the male ants leading the team also felt that they could not just return to their nests. The enemies would be able to find [New Yang City] by following them.
He sent a messenger to ask for countermeasures, and he led a large army to resist the ants, preventing the ants from following the messenger back to the nest.
The protagonist immediately sends out a small team of elite warriors to kill the enemies.
Although these belly-lifting ants may look weak and timid, it is precisely because of this weakness that they are very cunning.
The protagonist would rather fight head-on for hundreds of rounds with other straightforward ants than deal with these slippery enemies.
The warriors of the God Envoy King who attacked quickly drove back the enemy.
But in the next few days, more and more ants were active near [Xinyang City]. They divided into several teams and wandered around, getting closer and closer to the nest.
The enemy is obviously conducting reconnaissance and wants to know where the base of the Angel King's army is.
The Angel King's army also divided its forces to resist, trying its best to confine the enemy further away. On the one hand, it destroyed the enemy's reconnaissance operations, and on the other hand, it also covered the work of the foraging team.
Otherwise, there will really be no food stored in [Xinyang City].
The pressure brought by the Belly-Lifting Ants to the Divine Envoy King's Army was increasing. On June 25, the Belly-Lifting Ants had basically determined the location of [New Yang City] in the last few days of tug-of-war.
On this day, as many as three thousand ants appeared on the river beach east of [Xinyang City].
What the protagonist doesn't know is that he should be lucky that these ants thought that the Angel King's army was just a small number of alien ants washed up by the flood. There was not much in number, so they only sent this small army.
In previous flood seasons, it was common for foreigners to be washed away, although it did not happen every year. The terrain of this peninsula makes it easy to intercept drifting ant colonies.
Their guess was indeed correct. Although the Angel King's army took the initiative to board the boat and launch the water, they were really forced to live here due to the weather.
It's just that the number of the God Envoy King's warriors far exceeds the estimate of the belly-lifting ants. In the past, dozens or even hundreds of ants floating along the driftwood at a time were considered too many.
In addition, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King had previously dispatched a team of fifty at most, and the maximum number dispatched at the same time was only about a hundred.
This made Libelly Ant seriously underestimate the strength of the Divine Envoy King's army!
