Inside the ant nest, strangely shaped cave ants kept appearing, while Jiang Yuan and the others were dividing up the tasks.
"Be careful, everyone. Don't run over them. It's a small matter if you get covered in soot, but it would be a huge loss if you died!" Leng Yue warned as she pulled out the bolt.
Jiang Yuan and Xiao Pang were assembling something in the next nest chamber. Rows of cave ants were quietly lined up in front of them, and the two of them were constantly applying a gel-like substance to the backs of the cave ants. Then they stuck the pressure-activated landmines, whose bolts had been removed, onto the backs of the cave ants.
"Be careful!" Ning Yanlan shouted from another nest chamber.
"Don't worry, Yuan Ge and I are tough and resilient, we'll be fine even if we get blown up!" Little Fatty patted the ant's rear end, which had just been loaded with landmines, and the cave ant obediently retreated from the nest.
"Fifty landmines left, Fatty, these are all yours!"
After Jiang Yuan finished installing one, he stood up. They had already attached 150 pressure-activated landmines to the backs of the cave ants. He had more important things to do next.
"Where are you going?" Little Fatty knew the plan, but not the specifics.
“We have to disrupt the beast tide so that these cave ants can take advantage of the chaos and play their biggest role! You insist on carrying a shield and can’t keep up with us, so you should stay here and make self-destructing ants!” Jiang Yuan joked.
"Little Fatty, I've already told the Queen Ant that you're safe here. Focus on finishing the remaining landmines; we'll need them soon!" Leng Yue's voice rang out from within the Soul Ring.
"Alright then!" Little Fatty wanted to explain, but after thinking about the Meteorite Plate, he didn't say anything.
"Let's go, let's sneak towards the location of the beast tide!"
Leng Yue wasn't just playing around during this time; through the ant queen, she had become familiar with the passage in the ant nest closest to the beast tide.
The reason why these cave ants, which are only at level four or five, can collect so many monster corpses is that they take advantage of the terrain.
Although cave ants dare not build their nests in the midst of a beast tide, they extend a passage to the center of the battlefield. Whenever the beast tide subsides, the queen ant sends a portion of the cave ants to steal the spoils of war. This is why the queen ant evolves and the ant colony expands so rapidly.
"This passage must be more than ten meters underground!" Jiang Yuan could feel the vibrations coming from above as he walked through the passage, which was caused by the movement of the beast tide.
Ning Yanlan tapped the rock-hard soil on her head before sighing, "The cave ants are quite clever. They know the threat of the beast tide and deliberately dug their tunnels under the rock layer to avoid the detection of those powerful spirit beasts!"
"Jiang Yuan, you said you wanted four such passages, why is that?" Leng Yue couldn't contain her curiosity and asked.
Jiang Yuan had told them about the plan before, but she felt that many places were unnecessary, such as this passageway.
"Think about it, the firearms inside the South City are definitely not weak, but why haven't they repelled the beast tide yet?" Jiang Yuan stopped and looked at the two women. "Putting aside everything else, when I broke into the prison before, I heard Lu Xingyu say that there were missile silos there. Logically speaking, even level eight or nine monsters shouldn't be able to withstand the power of missiles, so why is the beast tide still raging, and there are no signs of large-scale bombing outside the city?"
“I know that!” Ning Yanlan replied.
Tell me!
"Don't forget that we now have power beyond technology. For example, if a missile were to come at me right now, I'm confident I could detonate it a hundred meters away, minimizing its power!" Ning Yanlan used herself as an analogy, and then added, "Not only psionic energy, but soul energy can also interfere with these heavy weapons!"
“If a ninth-tier psionic energy type can indeed control a region!” Leng Yue nodded in agreement.
"That's precisely why we're burying explosives underneath! This huge box of Black Gold will at least destroy a beast tide covering several hundred square meters by surprise. If those four come together, that'll cover over a thousand square meters! Moreover, we won't use these explosives to deal with the minions. We'll use cave ants to lure those spirit beasts to the top of the explosives. If we're going to do something, we'll do something big!" Jiang Yuan explained his plan in detail.
“Digging three underground tunnels will take a lot of time. Are you sure you can make it in time?” Leng Yue raised her concerns.
"How could it be too late? As long as the benefits are good, no difficulty is insurmountable!" Jiang Yuan said, bringing out two black iron boxes with a clang.
"Isn't this the box after the core was opened? What are you going to do with it?"
Ning Yanlan and Leng Yue didn't understand Jiang Yuan's actions. What was he going to do by taking out two boxes at this time?
"Nutrient solution, believe it or not, if you give these things to the cave ants, they will not only finish digging tunnels, but they will finish them ahead of time!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"Isn't this something from the queen ant's body?" Ning Yanlan was quite disgusted by the purulent white liquid, because it looked nauseating.
"Otherwise, how can we say that the queen ant is at the ninth level? She alone accounts for 90% of the colony's resources. Wouldn't it be a waste not to give this stuff to the ordinary cave ants?" Jiang Yuan said insightfully. Nutrient solution is good for watering trees, but he believed that it would be even better for cave ants!
"Then one last question! How do we stir up the beast tide?" Leng Yue asked.
The cave ants will only have a chance to take advantage of the beast tide when it becomes agitated. Otherwise, when the cave ants self-destruct, they will be quickly discovered by the intelligent beasts in the beast tide, thus eliminating this threat in a very short time.
"That's easy, just physically despise them and mentally humiliate them!"
...
"Jiang Yuan, are you sure you can succeed?"
The group looked worriedly at Jiang Yuan, who was sitting on a flying bird. This bird was the Bloodbelly Eagle that Jiang Yuan had dealt with several times. He had traveled a long way before he used his talent to control this sixth-tier Bloodbelly Eagle.
