The deepest part of the nest was originally where the queen ant lived, and it was filled with a lot of food so that the queen could eat and lay eggs. The newly hatched larvae also grew by constantly eating the food here.
The nest, which was originally full of food, has now been almost half eaten.
The two specialized ants continued to eat, and their eating speed finally slowed down to Zhao Zian's astonishment.
When it finally reached a body length of about four centimeters, it finally stopped eating.
Four centimeters long, that's the size of a southern cockroach, and its carapace is much thicker, its legs are much stronger, and it has some sharp and menacing barbs at its joints.
Its ferocious mandibles are about a centimeter long; one bite and it feels like it could crush a worker ant.
The specialized ant is no longer black, but has a faint reddish tinge.
The quality is indeed quite good; in reality, the specialized form of the giant ant is quite cool.
What's more, these are specialized ants from another world that have undergone an evolution, making them even cooler.
In terms of combat power, it's unmatched; it can take down an ordinary ant in one bite.
However, this thing is very clumsy and too big. Often, when ants crawl onto its back, it can't get them off by itself.
In natural ant warfare, large ants are often accompanied by smaller ants that help to eliminate hostile creatures that climb onto their bodies.
Furthermore, its massive size can protect injured ants, and sometimes when ants are tired, they can take a short rest under its specialized body.
It is basically in the position of a conceptual tank.
It is indeed powerful, but it needs to be paired with other ingredients; if used alone, it's too cumbersome.
Zhao Zian's mouth was practically watering. This thing looked fierce, but unfortunately it consumed far too much food.
However, on the other hand, expensive things are good in every way, the only downside is that they are expensive.
However, although a large portion of the food was consumed, some of it was actually used by other ants for production, and it wasn't all eaten by these two specialized ants.
Zhao Zian also had the queen ant produce 100 soldier ants, and the rest produced some worker ants.
To round it up, there were 4,000 worker ants, 100 soldier ants, and two specialized ones.
Of course, the exact number couldn't be an integer, but Zhao Zian was too lazy to count the units controlled from the god's perspective; he just needed to know that it was roughly that number.
The remaining food will not be produced; it will be kept for daily consumption, otherwise the little ants will go hungry.
There are nearly 5,000 native black ants, all of which are used for food collection. Due to their small size, it takes two native black ants to collect food at the same rate as one ordinary worker ant.
The current number is close to 10,000, and the faith value is quite considerable, even though ants are not very intelligent and have little faith.
However, faith also has different levels. Some people believe casually, while others believe deeply, and there are also fanatics and the like.
These ants are examples of fanatical faith.
Ants have a very simple way of thinking; they only have one thought.
That is to strengthen the race.
To ensure the survival of their species, ants will do almost anything.
When food is scarce, soldier ants will readily dismantle structures, and it's common for them to feed their own ants.
Currently, the local black ants have not fully embraced Zhao Zi'an's faith, but that's not a big problem; the first wave of faith power has already begun to flow over.
Originally, some faith power was being transmitted gradually, but Zhao Zian was located in the Dharma-ending Age, and the few pieces of faith power that were transmitted dissipated as soon as they arrived.
Once all the ants had produced their offspring, the intense power of faith broke through the shackles of the Land of Decline.
The message traveled in a grand and imposing manner toward Zhao Zian.
However, by the time it reached Zhao Zian, only a wisp of faith power the size of a hair remained...
Swish~
The immense power of faith emanating from that single strand of hair slammed into Zhao Zian's forehead.
Ah~
k is so fussy~
⊙w⊙
Zhao Zian's eyes widened suddenly, and he felt as if he were floating on air. His originally calm expression became very frivolous.
It feels like
However, the feeling vanished instantly after just one second.
Zhao Zian's initial excitement vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of utter boredom.
"Huh? Zi'an, you've already condensed the power of faith?!"
The mouse next door, who was playing King of Glory again, sensed the atmosphere here, put down his phone, and asked Zhao Zian.
"Huh? The power of faith? I don't know. Just now, I felt a very thin light drift over, and then I felt very comfortable." Zhao Zian scratched his head and answered truthfully.
The mouse was shocked, opened its mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Zhao Zian slapped it, and the mouse instantly returned to normal.
"How long has it been? That's so fast!"
"Zi'an, Zi'an is a true genius!"
The mouse was hopping and jumping around, looking quite excited.
Zhao Zian scratched his head again.
Is it difficult to gather the power of faith?
The mouse said, "It's very difficult. Gathering the power of faith is the first thing every god has to do, but this first thing has stumped countless people who wanted to become gods."
"Being able to gather the power of faith means that the god has already established a certain foundation, and many divine arts can only be used through the power of faith. Furthermore, the power of faith will be transformed into the god's divine power and continuously improve the god's physique, making the god have a stronger fighting ability."
Zhao Zian asked, "Then how can it be converted into divine power?"
The mouse replied, "Each believer generates a faint power of faith, but these fragmented powers of faith are illusory and cannot provide much help to the gods."
Only when there are a large number of believers, and their faith is extremely loyal, will the power of faith, when it reaches a certain level, automatically condense and materialize, then be transmitted to the deity. This materialized power of faith is equivalent to the divine power of the deity.
Zhao Zian was a little excited when he heard this, but then he thought of a problem.
"But it seems that the little bit of faith I had just gained has dissipated..."
"ah?!"
The mouse was a little confused, but then it seemed to have thought of something and continued.
"The power of faith that is gathered will gradually dissipate. Many gods gathered a lot of divine power at their peak, but after their believers dwindled, their own divine power would also decline, thus reducing their strength."
"The world Zian lives in is the Land of the End of Dharma, where divine power might decay even faster. Perhaps the first wisp of faith was too weak, so it dissipated quickly. However, once the first wisp of faith can be condensed, the rest will be much easier. I believe in Zian!"
Zhao Zian breathed a sigh of relief; he had been worried that something unusual had happened.
The next step is to continuously increase the number of your little ants.
