After confirming that the mountain collapse was completely over, Yaxuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
What was originally a bare mountain slope with tunnels and caves below has now completely turned into a hilltop made of rubble and ruins.
"Come out, iron ant!!"
Yaxuan threw the advanced ball, a red light flashed, and the female iron ant from before appeared again.
Although it regained some consciousness, it was hit hard one after another, and the female iron ant still lay on the ground helplessly.
Yaxuan hurriedly stepped forward and handed over medicine to treat the injury.
As the only owner of the island, he patrols and manages everywhere... Yaxuan naturally carries medicines with him, and he is also quite proficient in treatment methods.
"Iron Ant, let's live in harmony from now on...!"
While treating her, Yaxuan also rubbed the female iron ant's head and said softly.
Feeling that his physical strength was recovering bit by bit, he opened his eyes and saw a gentle and handsome man in front of him.
Soft words, but also a familiar smell of steel...
This is not the sense of smell in the nasal cavity, but a special sensory ability of the iron ants.
"Hiss..."
The steel head of this female iron ant suddenly became red and hot, as if it was overloaded.
Facing Yaxuan's treatment, his body involuntarily moved closer and kept rubbing Yaxuan's arm.
"Huh? Is this iron ant going to use brute strength again? Well, why are you so intimate all of a sudden?"
Xiaozhi next to him looked confused.
"Wu~!"
However, Latias in the air also transformed into a humanoid maid again, and with the same red face, she threw herself into Xiaozhi's arms, and kept rubbing against Xiaozhi's arms like an iron ant.
...
The matter seemed to have come to an end, and then iron ants kept crawling out of the rubble.
Such mountain collapse does not pose much of a threat to them, who are good at digging holes.
Soon, more than a hundred iron ant soldiers surrounded the rubble ruins.
"Hiss~!"
Just as this shy female iron ant murmured and pointed its forelimb at Yaxuan, hundreds of iron ant soldiers lowered their heads and swore allegiance.
Yaxuan: "..."
If he guessed correctly, this female iron ant just said that he is their new king now, right?
It’s quite strange to be the king of a group of ants...?
In short, it’s enough to be able to control these iron ants!
Yaxuan touched his chin and looked at the female iron ants again, preparing to discuss the stay and stay of this army of iron ants.
According to his estimate, the Iron Island can only accommodate a maximum of 60 iron ants, and they will not be able to continue to reproduce and expand in number in the next few years.
There are a total of 123 iron ant soldiers here...
"Hiss~!"
Understanding what her lover meant, the female iron ant immediately neighed and prepared to let the sixty iron ants jump into the sea to fend for themselves.
"Wait a minute, it's not that exaggerated...!"
Yaxuan quickly stopped this ridiculous decision.
After all, iron ants have now become part of the ecology here, and if they are crowded... they should be able to survive.
By then, every trainer who lands on the island can give priority to conquering an iron ant, and the number will be restored to a normal level.
"Or I could be in charge of 50 iron ants!"
At this time, Xiaozhi couldn't help but speak.
Seeing Yaxuan's curious look, Xiaozhi nodded in confirmation.
Anyway, Dr. Oki has already sent 59 Kenteros...if he sends another 50 iron ants, it won't be a big problem.
The back hill of Zhenxin Town is no smaller than here. It should be more than enough to accommodate 50 iron ants.
"Really, that's great, Xiaozhi, you've been a big help!"
Yaxuan looked happy. If 50 of them could be dealt with smoothly, the Iron Island would almost be back to its normal ecology!
And if the target is Xiaozhi, there is no need to worry about the safety of those 50 iron ants.
"But... they don't seem to listen to my orders."
Xiaozhi touched his head and looked at the steel ants with red eyes surrounding him.
It seems that the only thing they identify with is their king and queen.
From an outsider's perspective... is it possible to defeat them one by one?
"Hiss~!"
But at this time, the female iron ant suddenly made a low cry.
Its IQ is far higher than that of ordinary iron ants, and it even understands Xiaozhi's concerns.
The next moment, among the dense swarm of iron ant soldiers around, an iron ant slowly walked out.
This iron ant is slightly smaller, like a baby, but its abdomen is obviously fatter than other iron ants.
"This iron ant...?"
Xiaozhi and Yaxuan looked at each other and guessed the answer.
This is the second female iron ant!
Yes, although the sex ratio is very different, after giving birth to 100+ iron ants, it seems that it is not strange to give birth to a female iron ant?
"call...!"
This actually made Yaxuan feel quite lucky and he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this little female iron ant is just born and has not yet fully developed.
If we wait half a year or a few months to deal with this steel island... By then two egg-laying female ants are working one at a time, maybe the entire steel island will be eaten clean!
"Hiss...!"
The female iron ant raised its head and neighed, with an aura that could not be refused.
"Hiss~!"
The next moment, the steel head of this small iron ant suddenly became red and hot. It raised its head to look at Xiaozhi, and lowered its head shyly, not daring to look directly.
This scene has a feeling of being betrothed out of the palace by the queen mother to get married.
"Wuhe!!"
Ash didn't realize it, but Latias understood what happened, and immediately changed into the posture of a flying dragon, grinned and let out a dragon's roar at the little iron ant.
The terrifying momentum immediately frightened the little iron ant so much that it curled up into a small iron ball and shivered.
"Don't do this, Latias!"
Xiaozhi quickly stood in front of Latias and comforted the trembling little iron ant.
Fei Long's sense of racial oppression towards Ant is too strong.
The angry Latias has a strong sense of oppression towards the iron ants.
"Wuh...!"
This forced Latias to revert to her maid appearance, standing behind Ash with an annoyed look on her face, but still staring at the little iron ant with red eyes.
It seems that the one we need to keep an eye on next is not the black guy, but this little ant!
As for the meaning of the female iron ants, Xiaozhi completely understood.
Let him tame this little female iron ant.
After all, the gender is there, it can completely drive the 50 separated iron ant soldiers.
Snapped!
Even due to the "marriage" of the female iron ant, this little iron ant did not break free and resisted at all, and was easily subdued by Xiaozhi with a poke ball.
It feels a bit like a political marriage, all transactions and no emotion.
Next, Xiaozhi also picked 50 strong iron ants from the surrounding area, preparing to pack them up and transport them back to the Oak Research Institute.
There happens to be an elf teleportation device at the hotel at the entrance of the island. Today we can give Dr. Oak a big surprise!
