Watching the relentless, bloodthirsty worker ants charging forward, Wang Zheng felt a pang of emotion.
Have they been abandoned by the queen ant? Could the queen ant have already fled?
Wang Zheng was unaware of this.
If not, then why has no high-end combat force come out to stop the destruction of the Bloodthirsty Golden Ants' home for so long, instead of constantly sending these worker ants, who are not even alien beasts, to their deaths?
Even so, some were able to die bravely and selflessly in the face of such a powerful invader.
This is so similar to the soldiers of our Chinese nation.
At this point, do you think that these selfless worker ants alone could make Wang Zheng give up his search for the queen ant and change his mind about farming bloodthirsty soldier ants?
That's just overthinking it; Young Master Wang wouldn't have such a kind heart.
They are protecting their own nests, not Wang Zheng's home. Killing them to obtain the upper limit of spiritual energy and turning it into his own strength is the best way to protect him, Young Master Wang.
As he spoke, Wang Zheng looked at the two almost identical passageways in front of him and, with his eyes closed, began to assess the situation.
Then they continued crawling into the middle passage.
However, this time the passage seemed to be longer than before, and the resistance from the worker ants was much fiercer. Wang Zheng walked for about a few hundred meters before the dark passage began to change.
Wang Zheng sniffed slightly, and then smelled an indescribable odor, which wasn't very strong at first.
But as he went deeper, the stench became more and more obvious.
Wang Zheng was holding his breath. The stench was like that of dried oranges soaked in formaldehyde and then corroded in a high-concentration sulfuric acid solution—it was so sour and suffocating.
In comparison, the odor from the formic acid sprayed by these bloodthirsty golden ants is completely negligible.
After enduring the pungent, sour smell, Wang Zheng reached the end of the passage and found himself in a spacious hall. However, in the center of this hall were small squares made of earth.
The squares are surrounded by countless ravines and gullies, filled with a high concentration of formic acid, which acts as a barrier. Inside the squares are tiny white ant eggs, each the size of a grain of rice.
This is none other than the nursery of a colony of bloodthirsty golden ants.
After the queen ant lays her eggs, the worker ants carry these tiny eggs here for incubation.
Because the incubation process requires specific environmental conditions, and the eggs also need to be protected, this place is poorly ventilated and so stuffy.
Moreover, after the eggs hatch, the larvae are cared for by the worker ants, which explains why they attacked Wang Zheng so fiercely and wouldn't let him get close.
Countless larvae have already successfully hatched in that square. The white, transparent larvae, lacking sufficient care from worker ants, crawl around haphazardly, rolling into the high concentration of formic acid that was originally meant to protect them.
That's why the strong, sour smell emanated from this sealed environment.
As for the reason that there aren't enough worker ants...
Well... most of these nannies are hanging on Young Master Wang.
When Wang Zheng realized there was nothing to gain from the room, he immediately turned back the way he came.
What? You're asking why Wang Zheng didn't completely eliminate all the insect eggs?
Asking such a question clearly shows that you don't understand the concept of sustainable development.
Why would Young Master Wang's goal be to drain the pond to catch all the fish?
Besides, these insect eggs and larvae haven't differentiated into different types yet. Wang Zheng doesn't have any large-scale killing methods right now. Is he just going to start smashing them with a hammer?
This is underground; what if there's a landslide?
Moreover, even disregarding the fact that cleaning it is troublesome, it offers him no benefit whatsoever other than wasting his time.
As for the fact that these bloodthirsty golden ants will pose a great threat to other humans and beasts once they develop,
But what does this have to do with our young master Wang?
In such a remote place, what's wrong with letting them wreak havoc on the strange beasts here?
As for humans, even Wang Zheng, an outsider, knew about the dangers here.
Which Awakened One who dares to come this way doesn't know the brutality of the Bloodthirsty Golden Ants?
Besides, if these ants develop again in the future, Wang Zheng can come and make another killing.
This cycle of renewal and continuous growth is the true path to success!
So Wang Zheng had no intention of destroying the insect eggs and simply turned and left.
This action relieved the worker ants who were still charging at him.
Although they lacked wisdom, they only knew how to instinctively defend their homeland and resist invasion.
Looking at Wang Zheng, who had retreated back to the entrance of the passage, he realized that he had chosen the wrong path twice, which made him question his own navigation skills.
"Logically speaking, first the Bloodthirsty Flying Ants, then the Crimson Armored Beast, and in such a short time, I've gained nearly the maximum spiritual energy limit. My luck today should be pretty good. Am I really destined to be a path of death?"
Wang Zheng took out the locator and looked at it. A lot of time had already been wasted. If they didn't hurry, the queen ant might really escape.
As for the eggs and worker ants, it's not impossible for the queen of the bloodthirsty gold ant to abandon them; after all, the queen can lay thousands of eggs at a time.
As long as they can save their own lives, this race will not perish.
Although Wang Zheng didn't intend to kill her, of course, unless she had no use to him.
