Chapter 12 Mutant Bees



Just as Zhao Zian was about to start looking for a rope to hang the rat.

The mouse continued, "If Zi'an wants to awaken talents like devouring and evolution, it's actually unnecessary. Every creature is born with this kind of evolutionary instinct."

"There was once a great being whose true form was just a weak insect with no other talents. However, through his perseverance and hard work, he eventually became a powerful dragon."

"There are many similar examples where creatures that are very weak in their original form are able to grow stronger by constantly devouring and evolving, eventually becoming very powerful creatures."

As she spoke, Shushu turned her gaze to Zhao Zian.

"Just like Zi'an, he also has the talent of devouring. If Zi'an can eat a lot of meat every day and work hard to exercise, then Zi'an can become very strong."

"However, Zi'an's world is a low-spiritual-energy world, which will greatly limit the effect of devouring and evolving..."

However, I remember that humans seem to have focused their evolution on the brain... Even in the entire universe, humans are among the most advanced intelligent life forms..."

After hearing what the mouse said, Zhao Zian roughly understood the situation.

Devouring and evolution are things that every creature possesses innately; there's no need to deliberately awaken related talents.

If we really want to quantify it, the ant's talent is not bad. Whether it's strong or not is secondary; what's best is what suits you.

After hearing these words, I felt there was no need to ask the other question.

Why do newly grown ants develop resistance to the slime of the slime-producing insect?

That must be because eating their flesh led to a small evolution.

However, there is a probability involved.

I was lucky; I ate a few, and that's when this targeted change occurred.

If you're unlucky, eating hundreds of them won't have any effect at all.

After all, there's also the possibility of evolutionary failure, isn't there?

If you look at the genetic system of the Zerg in StarCraft, it might be easier to understand. To evolve your own units, you first need to acquire the genes of other creatures, and then add the new genes to your units to evolve them.

However, gene modification is currently not something that can be controlled on its own; it is somewhat random.

There's no way to guarantee how it will evolve.

Zhao Zian cleared his mind, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

He patted the mouse's little head to show that he understood, and then went back to the other world to gather food.

Since food was still plentiful, Zhao Zian instructed the queen ant to produce more ants.

In the time it takes to eat a meal, the queen ant has already produced a huge number of ants.

There are a total of 2,000 worker ants, both new and old, as well as many small ants and ant eggs. In another half hour, they will be able to hatch and grow up quickly.

This is already a very powerful fighting force in the underlying ecosystem.

Zhao Zian planned to first recruit some local black ants.

Then go and attack the beehive.

Honey is a wonderful thing, incredibly nutritious, especially rich in protein...

In short, if we manage to take down the hive, we can probably produce a lot of troops instantly, and then we can go straight to the final battle against the Horned Bugs.

Zhao Zian led half of his troops out to search for the native black ants.

He lets the remaining half forage for themselves; now, when he encounters white fleshy worms, he's too lazy to handle and catch them himself.

Since they have acid- and corrosion-resistant genes, they don't bother with the corrosive acid spit out by the slimy worms at all. Even if the ants are killed by the spit, they can just recycle the protein.

The ant that dies is taken back to the queen ant to be eaten, and then new ants are born, so it's as if it didn't die...

Aside from the slightly stronger horned beetles, there really aren't any natural enemies nearby.

Soon, 1,000 worker ants marched in a mighty procession to the vicinity of the native black ant nest.

The little black ant was still not convinced and sent some ants up to fight.

Zhao Zian then had his own ants perform a talent for them: the head-body separation technique. The target of the performance was the local little black ants that they had sent over.

Of course, the separated head may not be able to be reattached, since the head-body separation technique only mentions separation, not reassembly.

Then they immediately chickened out, and Zhao Zian manipulated the ants to communicate with them using pheromones.

The creatures from these other worlds were found to be slightly more intelligent, and most of them had some sense, so communication was relatively easy and there was no situation of talking to a brick wall.

Soon, the queen ant on the opposite side was brought out by their worker ants.

Black and plump, a black ant queen, nothing special.

They are slightly more intelligent than ordinary ants.

"God... Ming..."

Hmm... she doesn't speak very well, just like that queen ant at the beginning.

Zhao Zian didn't want to bother explaining anything to it anymore.

He instructed his ants to take it to their own anthill.

Let the first queen ant talk to it, tell it about various situations, and its beliefs, etc.

These native ants were indeed very weak in combat, but Zhao Zian did not forget his identity as a god. It didn't matter if the believers were a little weak; the most important thing was that they could provide the power of faith.

As fellow ants, communication is easier, especially for believers. You're like other insects, where you can't even understand their language. How are you supposed to communicate?

Zhao Zian sent a dozen or so ants to protect the nest, and with the worker ants controlled by the new queen ant, the safety should not be a problem, so he sent them to the nest.

He then led the remaining ants to have a showdown with the bees.

We also collected all the other creatures we encountered along the way, including a few slimy worms.

Wherever it goes, nothing grows; even rotten leaves get bitten by ants.

They quickly rushed to the base of the beehive, and the entire ant army was full of energy.

When bees see an intruder, they don't hesitate to swarm down and fight.

It was only then that Zhao Zian realized that these bees that rushed up to attack could actually bite people.

Upon closer inspection, they are different from ordinary bees.

Their mouthparts are very prominent, and their stingers are thicker than those of ordinary bees. They also have some strange patterns on their bodies and wings.

These patterns emit a faint halo, and looking at them for a long time can cause dizziness in ordinary people.

Zhao Zian observed for a while longer through the divine perspective and felt his mental energy being consumed even faster.

What's going on? Can hairless bees still evolve?

Soon, the bees rushed to the vicinity of the ant army and began fighting with the ants.

In terms of combat power, these special bees are actually nothing special.

The ants' shells were quite thick, and the ant army did not suffer any major damage.

However, once the bees bite, they fly away, making it difficult for the ants to retaliate, leaving them to passively endure the attack.

Watching their own army of ants get poked by bees.

Zhao Zian also quickly exited the divine perspective.

If you don't understand anything, just ask the mouse.
