Chapter 395 Sulfuric Acid Ants vs. Earwigs
That's right, Jingshu positioned the pets in the form of numbers, and defined the size of the pets' functions according to the size of the numbers. Based on the comprehensive strength and practical effects, the sulfate ant queen, whose lifespan has reached its limit, was ranked by Jingshu as number 3.
This means that Jingshu will have to feed her the No. 3 spiritual spring every day to cultivate the sulfate ant queen.
As we all know, Jingshu's pet is not judged by appearance or strength, but by its output value and the value it can bring to Jingshu.
Even a tiger probably wouldn't be ranked number 9 in Jingshu's opinion. After all, tiger meat is not tasty, can't lay eggs, and has no real use except that its penis can be used to make wine. More importantly, it is a huge waste of food in the apocalypse.
Take Jingshu's No. 4 snake for example, it is very valuable. It lays eggs and gives birth to young. The snake meat is delicious and can be eaten. It can also be soaked in wine and has medicinal value. The snake gall and snake skin are also very useful. Even the snake venom can be extracted as a means of killing. It can also serve as a scout and become Jingshu's eyes. In critical situations, it can also serve as a good force.
And why does this dying queen sulfate ant ant rank higher than the snake?
Jingshu was also confused about whether it was worth cultivating this sulfate ant queen whose lifespan had reached the end. Wouldn't it be a waste if she died of old age halfway through the cultivation?
However, after a series of research, Jingshu finally made a decision.
First of all, in terms of the value of the race reproduced by the queen sulfuric acid ant, the sulfuric acid they produce in large quantities every day can play a very important role in the apocalypse. The atomic energy industry and new energy cannot do without sulfuric acid, the production of fertilizers, the improvement of land with sulfuric acid, etc. cannot do without sulfuric acid, especially in this apocalypse where everything is lacking.
Secondly, sulfate ants belong to the type of black ants. The ants that have taken sulfuric acid have great medicinal value. They can be anti-inflammatory, analgesic, detoxify and reduce swelling, nourish the kidneys and improve essence, etc. In this doomsday, it is a truly scarce medicinal material!
Furthermore, its nutritional value ranks among the highest among millions of animals. It is rich in protein and a variety of amino acids necessary for the human body. It will become a luxury food in the end times.
In the end, their combat power was off the charts, and they were especially good at dealing with the undead creatures of the zombie virus. According to Jingshu's plan, they could even challenge the terrifying new evolved creatures that appeared in the end of the world. Apart from firearms, it can be said that sulfuric acid ants are at the top of the food chain.
The most important thing is that they do not waste food and can grow by eating corpses without various feeds, but Jingshu plans to feed them red nematodes.
As for the queen sulfate ant, she can lay dozens of eggs every day. If she uses the spiritual spring No. 3 and supplements it with high protein, the output value can be increased by dozens of times or even more.
Another big reason why Jingshu finally decided to invest in the sulfuric acid queen ant was that although the queen ant was about to die of old age, she had also become a spirit. Jingshu didn't know whether it was the same as the snake spirit, the small Thai banded snake, but the queen ant could indeed communicate with Jingshu. At the same time, Jingshu also wanted to experiment what effect the spiritual spring would have on creatures that were about to die of old age.
Of course, the Queen Ant didn't speak Chinese, after all, this was the United States. Instead, it was that kind of magical communication of consciousness. Through the Queen Ant's body movements, one could sense and judge her mood. For example, when Jing Shu brought the Queen Ant who was about to get restless to the Queen Ant Cube Space, the Queen Ant visibly stiffened for a moment, then stretched greatly. Jing Shu seemed to sense what she meant:
"Oh look at this cozy place. It makes me feel so good. Oh my god, this place is so cozy! I want to die here! I don't have much time left to live anyway."
When Jingshu gave her a sip of the spiritual spring, the queen ant trembled and twisted her body as if she had been electrocuted, and seemed to shout: "Oh, don't stop, just like that, I like this feeling, don't stop!" After a while, the queen ant twitched from time to time and expressed her feelings: "Oh, it feels so good, I want to do it again."
This is probably what it means. When Jingshu used her consciousness in the Rubik's Cube space to make the queen ant her pet and listen to her, so that she could enjoy such treatment every day, the queen ant surrendered without hesitation and without any moral integrity, and quickly adapted to her identity, a pet ant.
Jingshu also tried to ask the queen ant about the surrounding environment and dangerous situations, but unfortunately, her brain was like paste. Her daily routine was to lay eggs continuously and then let the worker ants find food to feed her.
There is nothing useful about it. The only useful thing is that the queen ant has lived here for forty years. She has moved several times in her life and has encountered other sulfuric acid ants coming to fight to the death, but she has survived.
So, this plate did appear here suddenly not long ago, and even the creatures in the mountains didn't know about it. They were moved to another place.
It seems that the only way to get out of this mountain is to rely on stupid methods.
Late at night, Jingshu was solving the Rubik's Cube faster and faster. When she was about to finish it, the loud cry of a monkey was heard outside the tent. Jingshu threw away the Rubik's Cube and ran out.
At this time, everyone was also awakened.
The dry wood burned with its last rays of light, illuminating the scene outside the circle of sulfuric acid ants. Densely packed black reptiles appeared on the surrounding ground at some point. Half of their bodies were embedded in the soil, their abdomens could stretch and contract freely and stand upright, with two large pincers at the end. Jingshu was very familiar with this kind of insects.
As an expert in insects, the snake spirit recognized them immediately. "It's earwigs! How come there are so many of them in this place? They must have smelled the blood and come here."
This thing is definitely one of Jingshu's nightmares.
"Are earwigs that powerful?" Tank scratched his head. They were just a bunch of bugs. He could just step on them and kill them.
The snake spirit explained, "Earwigs like to crawl into the ears of humans and animals late at night, lay eggs in your brain, and then eat your brain until you die or go crazy. Don't even think about sleeping if you have these things."
Jingshu remembered that in her previous life, many people would have these bugs buried in the soil crawl into their ears while they were sleeping. Often, someone would scream heart-wrenchingly while they were sleeping, banging their heads against the wall, and saying their heads hurt. They would torture people to death like this. Because no one took it seriously at first, the migrating bodies were left on the road, so one time, many of these little bugs ran out of the bodies and attacked the entire migrating group again.
The nightmare at that time was now being madly slaughtered by sulfuric acid ants. Although an earwig was slightly larger than an ant, the sulfuric acid of the sulfuric acid ants directly corroded half of the earwig, and you could hear a constant crackling sound.
Soon, the ground was covered with the corpses of earwigs and sulfuric acid ants, but the earwigs hadn't even broken through the outer circle. Jing Shu yawned and said, "Let's sleep a little longer and then get up and hurry on. Hurry, the earwigs won't get in."
