Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...
Chapter 394 Jingshu's pet number 3, the Sulfate Ant Queen
Just when everyone was tired, Jingshu pointed to the remaining grass on the cliff and the trees covered with algae. It was probably the only normal place on the bare mountain. Jingshu said, "We're here. Let's rest here today."
I don’t see anything special about this place. It just has more grass and trees.
"Oh my God, that's great. I can finally rest." Xiao Hei said and lay down on the lawn.
"Don't lie down!" Jingshu shouted, but it was too late. Xiao Hei was so tired that he lay down like a dead dog. Jingshu covered her face and heard screams in a few seconds. Xiao Hei jumped high and when he stood up, his bare buttocks, back and thighs were exposed. All the clothes that came into contact with the grass were corroded and even the skin was broken.
Xiao Hei slapped his back as he ran, "Damn it, damn it, what the hell is this! Is this grass poisonous?"
Jingshu took out a big bag of candy from the package. Her teammates were no longer surprised by the fact that Jingshu could always come up with these strange and bizarre condiments. After all, they were carrying such an exaggerated baggage that was three people tall. There weren't many weapons, but there were definitely enough food and various weird things!
After evenly spreading the sugar into a large circle and then another circle outside, Jingshu finally said, "Sleep in the circle tonight. Don't leave it. Just have one person on duty."
Lingling asked with interest, "Is this the special insect repellent from the novel?"
Jingshu was speechless: "It's candy."
Tank asked in surprise, "Can sugar protect against attacks from unknown creatures in the mountains?"
Before Jingshu could explain, she saw countless insects crawling out from the grass that Xiaohei had just walked through. These insects looked exactly like ants, but were only one or two centimeters long. Each one was also very fat and plump, as if it had a lot of food in its stomach.
Not only on the lawn, but also on the trees and so on, countless ants crawled over.
Xiao Hei was so scared that he ran away. He accidentally stepped on a few things and heard crackling sounds. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hei's shoes were corroded instantly, and Xiao Hei started screaming.
"This is a sulfate ant, but..." The snake demon frowned. The sulfate ant is 0.8 cm long, and these are more than twice as big.
Jingshu smiled and said, "The sulfate ants have evolved and become strong sulfate ants. They like to eat rotten food and various corpses. They have almost no natural enemies in these mountains. Even many creatures in the mountains have become their food. The only thing that limits their development is the queen ant." Because the queen ant that can evolve in the apocalypse is too rare!
The sulfate ants neatly formed two circles around the sugar. They guarded the food motionlessly and dared not move, because all the food was for the queen sulfate ant. From now on, any enemy who wanted to attack the food would be killed!
The sulfuric acid ants poured out, and some flying ones circled the circle. Xiao Hei trembled in fear. "Boss, is this really safe?" Are you sure you're not asking for trouble? These crawling ones are fine, but the flying ones... Xiao Hei covered the corroded areas and cried in pain.
Sulfuric acid ants were very powerful before the apocalypse. If you were bitten by one accidentally, not only would a large area of your body be eroded, but in severe cases you would also experience symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and fever. Many people were disfigured after being bitten by sulfuric acid ants and receiving improper treatment. If one sulfuric acid ant is so powerful, what about tens of thousands of them?
The evolved sulfuric acid ants after the apocalypse grew larger because they had no natural enemies and abundant food sources, and the strength of the sulfuric acid in their bodies increased by several levels.
These sulfuric acid ants are simply walking sulfuric acid, capable of corroding all undead creatures. They are the natural enemies of dark species, zombie viruses, and undead animals! They can become a very good trump card in Jingshu's hand.
In her previous life, she had encountered them a few times in the mountains during migration, but other than that, there was almost no trace of them. This time, she finally encountered such a treasure, and Jingshu would not give up no matter what!
At this moment, a large insect with slow movements, white and red body came out from the tree stump. It was as big as three sandbag fists. It swung its legs leisurely with its belly facing the sky, and its wings had been pressed under its body and deformed.
That’s right, the queen ant is carried out by countless soldier ants below her.
Yes, she seemed a little excited and could not wait to move towards the location of the sugar. At this moment, the sulfuric acid ants that came out of the nest had formed a spectacular wall more than 30 centimeters high. It was unimaginable how many sulfuric acid ants there were in this densely packed sulfuric acid wall!
Jingshu walked step by step towards the fat queen ant. The fat chicken was also quite interested, as if he thought that this thing must be high in protein and delicious.
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't provoke the queen ant. If the queen ant dies, these sulfuric acid ants will go crazy." The snake demon raised his eyebrows.
Just think about them being in the circle right now, with sulfuric acid all over the world...that scene.
Jingshu took out a big black plastic bag, sprinkled a lot of sugar into it, opened the bag, and saw the queen ant asking her younger brothers to slowly move her in.
This is the queen ant who walked into a trap!
"This, will this work?" Tank was a little worried. After all, a plastic bag...how could it trap the queen ant with strong sulfuric acid?
Jing Shu quickly tied the plastic bag into a knot and waved her hand, "Don't forget I'm still a sorcerer. Everyone, take advantage of this time to rest for six hours, and then we'll continue our journey. Monkey, you're on duty today. You can't sleep because of the pain anyway, so I'll go and cultivate some feelings with this queen ant first."
Jingshu unloaded the luggage, quickly set up a comfortable windproof tent, put on a moisture-proof mat, and added two layers of down quilts. The fat chicken lay in the nest at the door of the tent and continued to incubate the two black eggs from the United States.
The sulfuric acid ants outside were not agitated, which seemed to be Jingshu's credit. However, after a while, a fragrance came from the tent. It smelled like fried chicken legs and pickled fish, and somehow it also smelled a bit like braised pork.
How can others sleep?
Without the sulfuric acid ants, it was really nice to lie on the lawn, which was much better than lying on the stones. After a tiring day, I heard snoring soon.
At this moment, on the table in the tent, there was an obese queen sulfate ant lying. She was lying comfortably with her mouth open, and the soldier ants were feeding her white sugar. It took the queen ant several minutes to digest a grain of white sugar, but she still did not forget that after entering that magical place, her aging body became much younger!
She even took a sip of the terrifying magic water, and her old body, which was about to die, welcomed the new year!
Jingshu was lying in the tent with her legs crossed, practicing her Rubik's Cube, and neither of them affected the other.
But no one knew that in this peaceful moment, Jingshu welcomed her pet, named No. 3! Jingshu herself had never imagined that her biggest gain from this trip to the United States would be a forty-year-old queen ant!
