Upon seeing the new unit, Zhao Zian immediately began testing its combat effectiveness.
There were no fancy moves, both sides were on the ground, a head-on confrontation.
This new unit can basically take down a worker ant on its own without any problem.
However, it's not enough to defeat two worker ants. If you kill the first one, the second worker ant will be slightly injured and can then destroy it.
Of course, if the flight capability is activated and continuously depleted, these two worker ants probably still wouldn't be able to defeat this flying unit.
Zhao Zian nodded in satisfaction.
What a day full of surprises...
They also inquired about the food consumption.
We can learn this from the queen ant's answer.
This new unit consumes about the same amount of food as three worker ants.
Um……
Reasonable.
Its combat power is indeed very strong, but its armor is thinner, making it a light armor unit, so its consumption will be less than those with thicker armor.
The consumption is about the same as that of three worker ants, which is acceptable.
If we had this flying unit before fighting the bees, the battle against the hive would have been much easier, and we could have taken it down directly.
But it's not too late now.
As for the name, how about "Flying Insect"?
No, no, the others are all called ants, this one is called a flying insect, the formation feels a bit messy.
Let's call them flying ants.
Zhao Zian then had an idea and produced several hundred more flying ants.
They patrolled the nearby territory constantly, working alongside the soldier ants to scout and defend the area.
There's no need to produce too many, since this thing can't collect food anyway.
Just like soldier ants, they can only fight. If they produce too much, they will just waste the food of the other ants.
Zhao Zian plans to continue expanding his number of followers.
Previously, due to food shortages, they were unable to produce many ants.
The food problem has now been solved by the fungal mat.
Ant colonies are fully capable of exploring the outside world.
However, just as Zhao Zian was full of confidence and was constantly fantasizing about future developments...
A deafening wolf howl suddenly came from afar.
"Awooo!!!"
"roar!!!"
Then came the ear-piercing cracking sound of a large tree collapsing, followed by the booming sound of an explosion.
Boom!!!
Zhao Zian felt the ant nest in his house trembling constantly.
Every now and then, bits of soil would be shaken down from above the ant nest.
Fortunately, thanks to the fungal carpet covering the ant nest, no serious structural damage occurred.
If this were an old ant nest, it would probably have collapsed, burying all the ants.
What happened?
Zhao Zian was also a bit confused, and the entire ant colony was also somewhat restless.
It seems to be a biological instinct, sensing that a crisis is about to arrive.
Zhao Zian quickly decided to send one of the soldier ants out to scout out the situation.
However, before he had taken two steps, he slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered that he still had a flight unit.
The reconnaissance capabilities of flight units are much faster.
Controlling a flying ant, he kept getting closer to the source of the sound.
The sound was coming from across the river. Previously, because of the river, the ant army could only explore the area in front of the ant nest, and could not cross the area behind the ant nest at all because of the river blocking their way.
However, now that we have a new unit, we can easily cross this river.
Its flight speed is acceptable, similar to that of a bee.
The flight was quite stable throughout, and the footage didn't shake too much.
We soon arrived at our destination.
A group of wild beasts and several humanoid creatures were seen fighting.
These creatures are obviously not ordinary beings.
A creature resembling a tiger, with wings.
There are also creatures like wolves, whose entire bodies are blue and can spew out ice blocks from their mouths...
The humanoid creatures were all strange and bizarre, resembling the appearance of magicians in Western fantasy, with various fireballs flying around.
These humanoid creatures seem to prefer manipulating fire-attribute abilities; they don't seem to have any other elemental skills.
Through the perspective of this flying ant, Zhao Zian could also hear some profanities uttered by the humanoid creatures.
It truly lives up to its reputation as the universal language of the universe.
Even from that distance, I could clearly hear every single swear word...
Zhao Zian was drenched in sweat.
Moreover, those beasts could also utter some language, which was also Mandarin, seemingly exchanging barbs with the humanoid creatures, but their accents were too heavy, and their speech was mumbled.
Zhao Zian couldn't hear very clearly.
Judging from the ferocious expressions on those beasts' faces, their curses were indeed quite vulgar...
As the fight continued, several more wild beasts came running over; they were also the kind of beasts that could use magic.
Then the humanoid creature couldn't hold on any longer and retreated while fighting. After a while, it felt like it had retreated about 800 miles and was just about to turn around and run away.
However, the wild beasts held on tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
Suddenly, a humanoid creature appeared, seemingly pulling something out of its pants.
Then he suddenly raised it upwards.
It looked like a scroll or something, but I couldn't see it clearly.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light emanated from the top of his head.
Then the beasts began to howl madly, while the humanoid creatures cheered.
Zhao Zian was about to take a closer look when he discovered that the status value of the flying ant he was controlling had suddenly been reset to zero.
Then the screen went black and I knew nothing more.
Zhao Zian scratched his head and didn't say much. After all, when gods fight, little devils suffer.
That burst of white light was clearly an area-of-effect attack. Flying ants are fragile units, so it's normal that they were hit and killed.
He then controlled a flying ant and sent it flying in that direction.
I'm not doing this for any other reason than to observe the situation and see if there are any new developments.
As a citizen of the Great Dragon Kingdom, Zhao Zian had a natural inclination to enjoy gossip and gossip.
Just as he was excitedly planning to go eat some melon seeds...
We had only gone halfway when it looked like we saw a wolf-like creature.
It's the same wolf that was in the group fight before, but this wolf has many wounds on its body, and blood is flowing non-stop. Moreover, it's running towards Zhao Zian's direction.
There were other wild animals following behind, also fleeing, but they couldn't outrun the wolf.
Zhao Zian: "?"
?
Why are they coming this way?
He quickly observed the direction in which the wild animals fled.
!
It's a password!
My ant nest!
The wild beasts were fleeing in the direction directly towards his anthill.
Zhao Zian quickly switched the camera to the headquarters.
He was trying to make some preparations by controlling the ants, but he tragically discovered that he seemed to have no way to deal with these powerful creatures.
It's a password!
What a sudden and unexpected disaster!
