Some of these creatures glowed, and when they moved a few steps, they left behind trailing effects similar to those in games.

There was also a turtle with lava-like patterns on its body, and a smoke ring would occasionally emerge from its head.

It looks exactly like a coal turtle.

The most eye-catching creature was a deer with a completely blue coat.

The two enormous antlers are like ice crystals, just like the cartoon I watched when I was a child.

The movie that Kun Kun released, it seems to be the Five Guardians?

The ice deer inside was similar to the one we see now, shaking its head from time to time.

Several unidentified small insects flew past it, and just as they were about to reach the mouth of the ice deer.

The frost deer's breath instantly froze the small insects into ice blocks, causing them to fall to the ground.

There are also various monkeys, gorillas, tigers, bears, and other creatures.

They would roar at the drop of a hat, making the whole herd very chaotic.

The innermost creatures are mostly very powerful beings. They look extraordinary at first glance, and they often emit fire or light from their bodies, and they might unleash some special effects at the drop of a hat.

The situation on the periphery is somewhat normal.

They are mostly ordinary creatures with no cool skills.

They weren't expecting to steal anything; they were just hoping to pick up some leftovers.

Of course, what if an opportunity really does fall into your lap? Everyone has their lucky breaks sometimes.

Zhao Zian controlled the flying ants to survey the surroundings, and found that this was basically the situation.

All living beings are waiting for the elixir to mature. Don't be fooled by their current quietness; when the elixir matures, a bloody storm is sure to ensue.

After confirming the location, Zhao Zian also summoned the rest of the main force to come over.

The flying units are quite fast, but the ground units are very slow. The roads are bumpy, and there are often fallen trees blocking the way, so you have to take a detour.

The temporary base he chose was quite far from where the medicinal herbs grew.

Because some creatures have a very large range of magic, I'm afraid they might hit me directly; it's safer to stay further away.

However, it can't be too far, otherwise he won't be able to catch the hot stone. Only Zhao Zian can determine the exact distance.

As the ant army arrived, some humans also came to the vicinity. Some carried swords like warriors, while others wore magic robes and looked like scholars.

Besides these extraordinary humans, there were also some carrying laser guns, wearing exoskeleton armor, and even some carrying rocket launchers.

A whole host of high-tech weapons, with massive cannon barrels, that just looking at them sends chills down your spine.

Elves, dwarves, and some orc races also came in large numbers.

However, the various wild beasts and other races in the forest did not clash for the time being, and they were mostly tolerant of each other.

If a conflict is provoked at this time, it is very likely that other forces will take advantage of the situation.

If there are any grudges, we can use underhanded tactics when we fight for these medicinal herbs after they mature.

The creatures deepest inside are not only incredibly powerful, but also extremely cunning.

After a long time, Zhao Zian outside finally saw the arrival of the ant army.

The worker ants quickly began digging holes in the spot Zhao Zian had chosen.

This cave was dug very deep, and the space underneath was very large.

There are a total of 200,000 worker ants in the base camp.

Both soldier ants and flying ants were produced in round numbers, reaching a total of ten thousand.

They brought all 200,000-plus ants with them.

A new batch of ants, about 5,000 worker ants, have been produced near the base camp. The base camp can be easily protected, since there are no enemies nearby.

Two new queen ants were produced at the main camp, and they were brought over as well.

Xiao Yi, currently the strongest fighter in the ant tribe, also came along, making a total of three queen ants including it.

Little One is now consuming large amounts of highly nutritious food, along with bees with special bloodlines.

It is now 13 centimeters long.

Its carapace is very thick, and the various spikes at its joints make it look even more ferocious.

At Zhao Zian's command, all the ants began to move.

Worker ants build the structure, while flying ants and soldier ants patrol the vicinity to see if anything dares to provoke the ant army.

The worker ants were busy for a while.

They finally built a relatively large nest.

However, there were so many ants that they built several more nests, which allowed them to hide all the ants underground.

This time, the nest was dug more than a meter deep. Even if it were hit by a missile, this layer of soil could provide protection for a long time.

To prevent their nests from collapsing, the ant army even brought some fungi and laid them inside these temporary nests.

These fungi act like cement, filling in the gaps in the soil within the nest and making the entire ant colony more secure.

At the same time, some of the food was also delivered.

The queen ant brought over can produce combat units at any time.

At this moment, the area around the Red Earth Forest was filled with the fragrance of herbs.

These are signs that some herbs are about to ripen.

Even some less precious herbs have matured.

However, the big shots at the very back generally don't care about these low-value herbs; they all plan to wait until the most valuable herbs mature before competing for them.

These low-value herbs can be picked if it's convenient, and abandoned if it's not.

At this time, the weaker creatures on the outer edge will have the opportunity to obtain some low-value herbs, which will be a great opportunity for them.

The ant army was already somewhat exhausted after the long journey and the construction of the ant nest.

Zhao Zian saw that their status bars all had small gaps, meaning they weren't at full value.

But as soon as the medicinal fragrance wafted over, the status bar immediately recovered significantly.

All the dissipated stamina was restored, and I even felt a bit overwhelmed by it. The effect was even stronger than the group buff talent of the Queen Ant.

The worker ants first burrowed back into their temporary nest to avoid unnecessary casualties.

The patrol mission was assigned to soldier ants and flying ants.

To prevent nearby organisms from threatening the safety of the ant nest.

For example, in the real world, there are anteaters that specifically eat ants.

However, this thing probably doesn't exist in this other world.

Zhao Zian hadn't had a chance to relax for long.

A group of bright red figures appeared nearby.

Upon closer inspection, the patrolling flying ants turned out to be red ants.

And not long after the footage of the flying ants reached Zhao Zian, the time had passed.

Some pale green liquid was sprayed out by these red ants.

The flying ants were caught off guard and were immediately covered in the liquid.
