These juices are very important to Haru; whether they can hold off the Asaida tribe's army this time depends entirely on these mysterious liquids.

Haru wasn't forced to use this liquid, nor did he want to; it's a double-edged sword. Used well, it can control the enemy; used poorly, even a slight mishap can result in the loss of one's own people.

The grayish-white mushroom juice produced by boiling at high temperatures is not edible, mainly because the concentrated medicinal effect is too strong, and the body simply cannot tolerate such a potent agent.

Eating it will directly cause your heart to beat faster, and then reach a point of sudden cardiac arrest, leading to death.

However, this thing has another major use: it can generate a pseudo-pheromone.

Giant ants have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. They hate this pheromone and will go into a frenzied attack state as soon as they sense it, reacting violently to this false pheromone.

From the perspective of the giant ant's worldview, emitting this pheromone is a sign that other giant ant colonies are provoking their own colony.

In nature, a great battle between giant ant colonies is a matter of whether their species survives or perishes in the struggle.

Therefore, battles like these are only more brutal than when they are hunting.

Haru's plan is to use the juice extracted from these mushrooms to lure a large swarm of giant ants to the Asada tribe's only route.

In their haste to continue their journey, they had no choice but to take a detour.

However, the ant colony was exceptionally large, and more than one colony had been attracted here. If they had to take a detour, it would significantly delay the arrival of reinforcements from the Asada tribe.

They had to take a detour of at least twenty miles to avoid the angry giant ants. These giant ants had almost zero intelligence, belonging to the category of social insects with intellectual disabilities.

They act purely on instinct; all information and instructions are given by the queen ant and then transmitted to each giant ant via pheromones, ensuring absolute loyalty in carrying out the queen's tasks.

As long as the pungent smell of the mushroom juice hasn't faded, the giant ants won't leave the area.

However, these pseudo-pheromones are still different from real pheromones. Whether these ant colonies will fight each other is unknown, and Haru doesn't need to know.

They only need to be lured to their designated positions to stand guard. With this trump card in place as a deterrent, no species in the jungle will dare to provoke them easily.

However, the most dangerous task is luring the giant ants, as the giant ants may not be as fast as Haru.

However, their population size is enormous, far exceeding that of the Haru tribe.

In addition, these insects are hunting insects by nature. They can move at high speed to chase prey after they have eaten their fill, and they can go for hours without rest.

Many large animals have become food for giant ants because they were chased for a long time and became exhausted.

However, since Haru dared to lure the giant ants to his advantage, he must have his own methods to lure them over while ensuring his own safety.

Haru acted quickly, scattering a lot of that mushroom juice along the route the Asaida tribe would take.

Now all we need to do is lure a few giant ant colonies from the forest to complete the setup. Once they've finished, they can leave immediately, and there's no need to worry about the Asada tribe being able to break through the giant ant army in a short time.

It has to be said, these Haru people are incredibly lucky. There are numerous termite nests less than a kilometer away, and they're teeming with termites.

There are at least three different giant ant colonies attacking the termite nests. Many termites have already been pulled out by the giant ants' claws and are neatly arranged in the nest.

Termites are also part of their diet, but these spoils of war are taken back to the temporary nest by the giant ants, where the queen distributes these resources.

Giant ants know that the most delicious larvae and eggs are deep inside the termite nest. These are the most nutritious foods, making them perfect for feeding their own colony's larvae.

The termite nests here are abundant, and even if three giant ant colonies are active in this area, there is absolutely no need for the three to be hostile to each other.

However, this process was quickly disrupted, and some giant ants seemed to freeze on the spot as if they had been electrocuted.

Their antennae, acting as receptors, waved constantly, receiving information from the outside world. But soon, the behavior of these giant ants became nervous and tense.

Although giant ants have a pair of large compound eyes, these eyes have degenerated due to long-term disuse, and can only simply sense the stimulation brought by light.

As for seeing things clearly, that's like a blind person wearing glasses—it's a complete waste of time!

Like other ants, giant ant colonies communicate by receiving pheromones through their antennae receptors. They can emit complex pheromones through their antennae and also receive pheromones.

These pheromones can sometimes convey a lot of information in an instant upon contact, such as the size of the prey, the terrain encountered, and the threats faced. They can quickly make corresponding adjustments based on these pheromones to adapt to different levels of work requirements.

Secondly, there are the bristles on their ventral feet. These bristles are very fine and dense, allowing them to sense the slightest vibrations in the ground and quickly pinpoint the location of their prey.

When Tang Yi fired the gun, the intense vibrations caused the giant ants to mistakenly believe they had encountered large prey, which led all the giant ants to chase after Tang Yi and Top.

The pheromones wafting through the air are clearly provocative, and they don't belong to any of the three giant ant colonies.

Judging from the intensity of these pheromones, the provocative giant ant colony is extremely large and could very likely pose a threat to the survival of its tribe.

Some super giant ant colonies develop too quickly and consume too many resources, so they can only attack weaker giant ant colonies nearby.

They can either drive them away or completely wipe out the opposing ant colony. Even though the latter would be very costly for the giant ant colony, sacrificing some of their own resources is still a good way to alleviate resource shortages.

Therefore, these giant ant colonies are more ferocious than ordinary ant colonies, and they are not afraid of either seizing territory or engaging in desperate attacks.

If it were just a relatively weak giant ant colony, it would probably be quite sensible to retreat quickly. After all, the giant ants would be injured, while the giant ants would lose their lives.

But this time is different; the sheer size of the three giant ant colonies here is undeniable. Even the most colossal creatures would have to think twice before attacking. If pushed to the limit, they might even unite with other giant ant colonies to retaliate.

The three giant ant colonies have now reached a consensus and are standing on the same side.

At this moment, their antennae receptors are constantly waving and releasing pheromones, attempting to suppress the invading mysterious giant ant swarm in this way.
