Let's summon a beetle man first and see what the effect is.
Li Ziyu used the newly decomposed materials to summon the armored insect man.
The soul energy required to summon the armored insect man is several times that of the soul-born insect man, and it is not known how effective it will be.
Soon, a new-born beetle-clad man stood in front of Li Ziyu.
After testing it, Li Ziyu nodded.
The beetle-clad bug-men are indeed much stronger than the soul-born bug-men, at least they are not like puppets on strings and can move very flexibly.
It's still a little worse than when I was alive, but it's not a big problem.
After the big black-headed soldier ants turned into beetle-wearing men, their bite force seemed to be strengthened. The two big teeth opened and closed, and they collided so loudly that sparks almost appeared.
This harvest is not small.
Today alone, Li Ziyu did not suffer any losses, and gained tens of thousands of soul-born insects, which made her feel very happy.
Especially now that the Soul-born Insects are still cleaning the battlefield, and there are still many Ant-Man corpses that have not been collected, it is roughly estimated that at least 100,000 cannon fodder can be obtained today.
What an unexpected surprise.
…
Big black-headed ant-man nest.
Big black-headed worker ants and big black-headed soldier ants returned one by one. Some of them went to explore the way, and some brought back food.
Every day's income will be tallied and sent to the queen ant.
The social structures of the big black-headed ants and the little brown-soil ants are different.
Among the Little Brown Ant-men, there are many female ant-men. These female ant-men are the upper class of society. Each female ant can give orders to the worker ants, which makes the Little Brown Ant-men sometimes appear a little chaotic.
The Big Black-headed Ant-Man has a single queen. In the entire colony, the only one with high intelligence is the queen, and the rest of the ant-men must obey the queen's arrangements.
If the queen of an ant colony dies, the colony faces extinction.
The queen ant is the "wisdom" of the ant colony and the source of newborns in the ant colony.
This giant black-headed ant-man nest has existed for some time. They build nests underground. The number of ant-men in the group has exceeded ten million, and this number is still expanding.
The little brown ant-men who are far away from them have developed longer than them and have more people. They have always been the worry of the big black-headed ant-men group.
They don't want to share the surrounding resources with other Ant-Man tribes.
However, their numbers are small and they cannot defeat the little brown ant-man, so they can only survive.
Fortunately, Little Brown Ant-Man is also known to be mentally retarded in Ant-Man's eyes.
Although the two groups are not far apart, the other group has never attacked the big black-headed ant-man. Instead, it allowed the big black-headed ant-man to develop.
The queen ant, who felt that her wings were fully fledged, finally decided to attack the little brown ant man and launched a brazen attack.
Eliminating the little brown ant-men will allow the big black-headed ants to gain more territory and resources, and at the same time, they can use the little brown ant-men as food reserves, killing two birds with one stone.
Every war against a very large group like Ant-Man takes a long time, and the battle cannot be over in a day or two.
Just like human wars, if you want to completely eliminate the opponent, you must occupy the opponent's city.
The same goes for wiping out the Ant-Man colony. You need to occupy the opponent's nest and kill the opponent's female Ant-Man or later.
Any Ant-Man nest is very large, with a large number of passages inside, like an underground maze, which cannot be easily entered by other Ant-Man.
In the early stage of the battle, one side looks for weaknesses and the other side defends desperately.
When it comes to the big black-headed ant-man and the little brown-soil ant-man, there are some changes. Every time the big black-headed ant-man starts a war, he will bring back the corpses of his opponents to use as food.
The queen ant waited for a day, and at night, she received the news that there were very few corpses of the little brown ant-men, which made her not only confused.
It shouldn't be.
The little brown soil ants are very weak, and it will take at least dozens or hundreds of them to attack before they can defeat their own soldier ants with formic acid.
Logically speaking, there should be no shortage of corpses.
Could it be that the worker ants are lazy?
It’s unrealistic. I’ve never heard of worker ants being lazy.
Even if one or two worker ants are lazy, they won't just get back a few corpses.
Among the group, only the queen ant herself has wisdom. The other ants are similar to the little brown ant-men. They all follow orders stupidly and have no chance to ask anyone.
The queen ant had to find a solution on her own.
She found the ant-men who had gone to the battlefield one by one, and kept asking about the situation on the battlefield, trying to reconstruct and piece together what happened at that time, which resulted in the body of the little brown ant-man not coming to the nest.
But after asking and asking, she couldn't find the answer. The answer Ant-Man gave her was that the body was indeed transported to the nest. As for why the nest didn't receive it, she didn't know.
The only doubt is that during the transportation process, many worker ants were attacked by little brown ant men and their bodies were snatched away.
Why do the little brown ant-men snatch corpses?
I have never heard of little brown ant-men needing the corpses of their own kind. Is it possible that they still plan to eat their own kind?
The queen ant was puzzled and completely confused.
In this case, let's just pretend that the corpses were snatched away by the little brown ant-men.
The battle cannot be in vain. If the little brown ant-man wants to force the corpse, if he doesn't give it to her, then he will increase his attack intensity!
The more people there are, the greater the harvest will be. I don’t believe that the little brown ant-man can still snatch away all the corpses!
The queen ant became cruel.
…
After collecting the corpses, Li Ziyu specifically ordered the Fortress of the Undead to retreat a certain distance.
We need to prepare a good communication environment for the little brown ants and the big black-headed ants.
The newly transformed soul bugs and skin beetle people were sent by Li Ziyu around the fortress, and asked them to be responsible for night vigilance to prevent the ants from sudden attacks.
After a busy day, Li Ziyu felt a little sleepy and fell asleep with Meng Ni's comfort.
When he opened his eyes again, there was plenty of light.
Li Ziyu stood up and looked around. Meng Ni had already gotten up and was sitting by the bed with a gentle smile on her face.
After a while, Li Ziyu asked in confusion, "How is the situation outside?"
Meng Ni brought the toiletries, gently wiped Li Ziyu's face with a towel, and said to him, "The fight started early in the morning, and now it's still very intense."
Li Ziyu enjoyed Meng Ni's service. This girl is so nice and gentle.
Meng Ni can't help with other things, but when it comes to taking care of people, Meng Ni is definitely qualified.
After washing up, Li Ziyu went to the roof of the main building and looked towards the direction of the little brown ant man's nest.
The attack of the big black-headed ants was even more fierce today, and there were obviously many more big black-headed soldier ants than yesterday.
Tsk tsk tsk, it’s good to have more troops, the fight should be more intense.
Li Ziyu, who doesn't mind watching the excitement, thought happily.
Looking at the two ant-men fighting in the distance, Li Ziyu suddenly felt as if he was squatting on the ground and watching ants fight as a child.
At that time, he liked to observe ants very much, and sometimes he would squat and watch them for two or three hours until he could no longer feel his legs.
Today's battle is more intense, the battlefield has expanded, there are more corpses, and the big black-headed worker ants have begun to carry the corpses.
"Mine, everything is mine!"
In the distance, big black-headed worker ants formed a long line, carrying the corpses towards the nest. Li Ziyu patted the wall stack hard.
Soul-born insect-man, beetle-clad insect-man, set off for me and bring me the body!
The number of soul-born bugs and armored bug-men that far exceeded yesterday's number set off, rushing towards the caravan of corpses of the big black-headed worker ants.
…
Because few brown-soil ant-man corpses were brought back yesterday, the queen ant was very concerned about this matter today and asked the ant-man to reply with information every once in a while.
Not long after the war began, the corpses of the little brown ant-men were sent back, constantly filling the food storage area.
everything is normal.
The queen ant was a little relieved when she found that it was as expected. It seemed that yesterday was really because the other party snatched the body.
She asked Ant-Man to continue to follow up, not to relax, and to report back from time to time.
As time went by, more corpses were delivered, and just when the queen felt that there would be no more accidents, an accident happened.
The corpse suddenly fell out of gear.
The battle on the front line seemed to have stopped, and no more corpses were sent to the lair.
"What's going on! What happened!"
"Worker ants, come over and report the situation!"
The queen ant realized something was wrong and immediately sent out the message, and soon the worker ants who managed food in the nest entered the place where they would be later.
This is a huge space. The queen ant is right in the center, constantly laying white eggs one after another. There are worker ants around, busy moving the eggs away.
In addition to the queen ant and the worker ants carrying the eggs, there are dozens of soldier ants guarding here.
Ordinary worker ants are not qualified to enter the queen ant's living space at will. That is, only the worker ants who manage food are lucky enough to come here through the queen's summons.
And you can't get close to the queen ant, you can only stand at the entrance of the hole.
"What's wrong with the food storage? Haven't the bodies been sent to the storage room yet?"
"No bodies were brought."
"Where's the body?"
"I don't know, no body has been sent."
"What's happening on the front lines?"
"I don't know, no body has been sent."
As a worker ant with low intelligence, the information he could answer was very limited. He only knew that there were no more corpses sent to the storage room.
Because he couldn't tell what was not delivered.
I was very angry after that, but there was nothing I could do about it. The tribe was just like that. Except for her, the other ant-men had very simple minds.
"Go get the battle reports from the front line. I want to know where the bodies are."
The queen ant sent away the worker ants who were managing the food, and turned to give instructions to the soldier ants beside her. The soldier ants immediately left in a hurry.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The queen ant's body shook, and more eggs were squeezed out of her body, leaving the worker ants who were carefully carrying the eggs in a panic.
After waiting for a while, the soldier ants who were sent out came back.
The queen ant looked at the soldier ant and asked, "What happened over there on the battlefield? Why wasn't the body sent back?"
The soldier ant came to the queen in a dull manner and replied, "The body was snatched away."
The queen continued to ask, "Is it the little brown ant man again?"
The soldier ant paused, seemed to be thinking, and then replied, "Yes."
The soldier ants' pause and thinking aroused the queen's suspicion. She then asked, "Besides the little brown ants snatching corpses, is there anything else?"
This time without any further pause, Soldier Ant quickly replied, "Yes."
Do these guys with low intelligence have to ask me a little bit before they tell me? Don't they know how to take the initiative? The Queen Ant asked angrily, "What else, tell me!"
The soldier ants answered honestly, "There are also our... companions, they are also snatching corpses."
The queen ant was stunned by what the soldier ants said.
What's going on?
Our companions were snatching the body, and then the body was not returned to the nest, so where was it sent?
She did not ask the soldier ants again. Based on the queen ant's understanding of the soldier ants, even if she asked, she would not be able to find out anything.
It's okay if I don't have any information, but now that I have information, I'm even more confused.
I have no idea what's going on.
The queen ant wanted to see for herself and find out what was going on.
But no.
In order to breed more ant eggs, the queen's body has been completely deformed, and she cannot support her body with her own legs.
Usually, even if you want to move a little bit, many worker ants need to move together, lifting and pulling.
And it is even impossible to transport her outside the nest.
Especially her life means the reproduction of the group. Even if she gives the order, the worker ants will not let her leave.
The more confused the queen ant was, the angrier she became. She really couldn't figure it out.
But the little brown ant-man's body couldn't be left alone. Those were the foods she had planned to supplement the ant-man's losses, and also be used to feed the newly born ant-man.
It must be obtained, otherwise the subsequent battle will be difficult.
"Send another group of soldier ants out and ask them to protect the worker ants that transport food. They must transport the food to the nest!"
The queen ant gave the order, and now she could only think of this method.
The order from the queen ant was passed down from level to level, and immediately the soldier ants gathered, starting from the big black-headed ant-man's nest, wandering around the worker ant transport team, trying to intercept the "ant-man" who wanted to snatch the body.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The body of the little brown ant man was picked up by the big black-headed worker ants and transported to the nest, and then was killed by the soul-born insect man and the armored insect man halfway out of the grass.
They robbed them on the road and then transported them to the Fortress of the Undead.
A steady stream of ant-man corpses entered the undead fortress, and more soul-born insect-men walked out of the fortress and joined the ranks of looting corpses.
Li Ziyu was decomposing the corpses and transforming the soul-born insectoids at the same time. Looking at the increasing number in the system, he felt very happy in his heart.
This accumulation speed is not much worse than digging up corpses from the Dead Souls Mountains.
Ant-Man is stupid and it's very easy to snatch corpses.
As the number of soul-born bugs increased, the number of corpses brought back also continued to increase. Some soul-born bugs no longer grabbed the corpses of the transport team and went directly to the battlefield to pick up the corpses.
Now not only the number of soul-born insect-men is increasing, but also the number of armor-clad insect-men is increasing.
Li Ziyu was a little far away from the Big Black-headed Worker Ant transport team. He didn't see that the other party had added Big Black-headed Soldier Ants as guards. They were still creating soul-born insects and beetle-clad bugmen from afar. He didn't know that his undead were already in the transport team.
There's a war over there.
The soul-born bugs and the beetle-clad bug-men habitually snatched the corpses carried by the big black-headed worker ants, unscrupulously and without any intention of hiding them, and then... they were discovered.
The big black-headed soldier ants who were sent as guards were not blind, so they naturally discovered the ant-man who came to snatch the corpse.
"Don't rob it, transport it back to the nest."
A big black-headed soldier ant stopped a big black-headed soul worm who had just snatched the body and asked him to put the body down.
A normal big black-headed worker ant would still listen to him, but this one in front of me is abnormal. He is an undead, a soul-born insect!
The big black-headed ant-man didn't understand what he was saying at all. He just dragged the body and walked back mechanically. There were two small brown earth soul insect-men beside him who came to help.
The big black-headed soldier ant was stunned when he looked at the two little brown earth soul insectoids. His low intelligence prevented him from understanding the scene in front of him.
Our enemy, the little brown ant man, is helping the big black-headed worker ants carry the corpses of his own people?
What's going on?
However, the Queen Ant's order is to guard the convoy, so even if he doesn't understand what's going on, he still has to stop it.
He quickly moved in front of the big black-headed soul insect creature, stopped him again, "Put down the body!"
The soul-born insect-man ignored him again and continued dragging the body forward.
Now the big black-headed soldier ant can no longer let it go, even if it is a member of the same race, he must take action!
He stuck out two big teeth, clamped the waist of the soul-born insect man, and cut him into two pieces with a strong force...
