The bloodthirsty queen ant had a clever plan, and her most powerful male ant successfully underwent a second mutation, just as she had wished.
In her eyes, as long as she was not harmed, even if all the bloodthirsty golden ants died, her clan would still exist.
If I were to die, even if there were many of my kind left, they would be scattered and disorganized, unless a new queen ant could evolve from the larvae.
But that's basically impossible.
It is important to know that the birth of a queen ant often requires the entire ant colony to provide enough evolutionary energy.
Moreover, unless the queen ant senses that her lifespan is coming to an end, she will not raise a second queen ant.
She is only just entering her prime, so naturally she won't be grooming any successor.
In other words, if she dies, this bloodthirsty golden ant colony can basically be declared extinct.
However, if the queen ant knew that Wang Zheng had no interest in her at all, and that he might not have even burrowed into the underground ant nest if it weren't to lure more soldier ants to attack her.
I wonder if she will regret what she did.
Moreover, compared to her life, Wang Zheng cared more about the integrity of the bloodthirsty male ant's corpse. The queen ant's actions only made Wang Zheng feel more heartache and anger, but did not make him feel any fear.
"hiss--"
"hiss--"
"hiss--"
The bloodthirsty male ant let out a painful cry from afar, and then its entire black carapace turned blood red, giving it a rather bloody appearance.
Even Wang Zheng secretly increased his vigilance. Although he didn't know what the situation was, the bloodthirsty male ant seemed to have undergone some kind of evolution after devouring its own kind, and its speed had been greatly enhanced.
He searched through all the books in his mind but found no relevant information.
In the end, Wang Zheng could only sigh helplessly.
"What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand."
He wanted to test the strength of this mutated male ant, so he took out another large hammer from his storage space, tossed it around in his hand a couple of times, and then, while the ant was still screaming wildly, smashed it down hard.
However, the bloodthirsty male ants, which had become completely berserk, seemed to have an incredibly clear perception of killing intent.
The wailing stopped immediately as Wang Zheng launched another attack, and the person reacted instantly.
Its figure seemed to pause eerily in place, as if it had dropped a frame, before reappearing in the same spot after dodging Wang Zheng's attack.
"boom--"
The sledgehammer whistled past the bloodthirsty male ant's phantom before slamming heavily into the wall behind it, creating a deafening roar.
The enormous sound echoed continuously in the enclosed space, and even the cave ceiling was filled with a rustling sound as countless dust particles and pebbles fell down.
This discovery immediately made Wang Zheng hesitant and afraid to use brute force to bombard the area.
He didn't want to be buried alive hundreds of meters underground and then have to compete with these subterranean insects.
However, through this attack, Wang Zheng realized that it wasn't that the bloodthirsty male ant was particularly fast, but rather that the male ant seemed to have awakened a new special ability.
Originally, as a low-level beast of the third rank, the Bloodthirsty Male Ant would not have awakened any special abilities. However, it seems that by devouring its own kind, it has not only improved its various physical indicators but also unlocked new innate abilities.
It's unclear whether devouring one's own kind naturally produces this effect, or if it's due to the queen ant. After all, as the leader of a tribe, even if her combat abilities are lacking and her rank is low, she still needs to have some other abilities.
In fact, Wang Zheng was not wrong. The male ant had undergone a secondary mutation by the queen ant's forced growth, and the side effects were quite strong.
Having paid the price with its life, this mutated, bloodthirsty male ant can now enter another space at any time and then reappear in front of Wang Zheng.
This causes the male ant to appear as if it is teleporting, but it takes some time before it reappears in another place.
Seeing that the male ant had so easily dodged Wang Zheng's attack, the queen ant immediately perked up, feeling that she was saved.
Several compound eyes stared intently at Wang Zheng, radiating a light of hatred.
Then they frantically pounded together with their few remaining ant legs, as if celebrating, while making hissing noises.
If Wang Zheng could understand the meaning of the queen ant's roar, he would definitely find it very interesting.
"Awesome! The Bloodthirsty Golden Ant Clan is awesome!"
As expected of our ant tribe's strongest warrior, he not only improved his physical fitness in all aspects, but also awakened special abilities!
Go forth, my dear child, and tear the intruder's body apart with the blade in your hand!
Don't ask why two short "hissing" sounds can translate into such a long sentence. The answer is that ants communicate using pheromones on their antennae; they don't speak.
When the flying hammer missed its target, the bloodthirsty male ant immediately launched a counterattack.
Wang Zheng saw the air around the bloodthirsty golden ant in the distance ripple like water, and then the male ant's body moved from left to right until it completely disappeared into the subspace.
