Chapter 173: The Ant Who Controls the Air Flow

Picking up two tiny eggs with his tentacles, and then picking out one, Systm was given another female egg.

Heatham was not playing with Linda's eggs, but the eggs he had laid when he caught a few queens on the Warren Plains.

Sistum's research on flying ants is all taken to heart.

Because of his desire to migrate to the abyss, Systm sent four different species of queens to the half-plane and placed them under the care of Black.

It wasn't until recently that his ant people returned from the half-plane that the four queens were able to come to the abyss for him to continue his research.

Unfortunately, the environment of the abyss is somewhat different from that of the Overworld, and within two days of the arrival of these four ants, three of them died due to the lack of adaptation, and even the druid's [healing power] did not save the lives of these ants.

As a result, only one of the four queens survived.

Similarly, some of the ant people in Systm who did not enter the secondary pupation also showed symptoms of adaptation, became mentally lethargic, and finally died.

However, because after the queen Linda's second pupation, the eggs produced generally have a good physique, and only a dozen of the more than 400 adult ants died, and then the ants returned to normal.

As for the remaining 500 or so ants that have completed their secondary pupation, they have not been affected by changes in the environment.

In other words, the humid and warm climate of the abyss made the ants feel comfortable, and the ants quickly adapted to the environment and then began to get busy.

Some worker ants help the excavators clean up the floating islands, while others go out hunting and store food.

Instead of letting the ants immediately attack the big prey, Systm hunted the very common mosquitoes, tadpoles in the swamps, and pupae in the territory of the meat balls.

Although the mosquitoes of the abyss are very aggressive, ants are born with a strong carapace, and these mosquitoes attack the ants undoubtedly to send themselves to the table.

The only ones that can threaten ants are those mosquitoes and beasts that are more than ten centimeters to thirty centimeters long, but as soon as such mosquitoes and insects appear, the soldier ant knights nearly half a meter tall will rush forward.

If there are no soldier ant riders nearby, these worker ant riders of a dozen centimeters will also cooperate with each other to fight mosquitoes, insects and beasts.

The mosquito insect beast only has a slightly hard needle, and under the siege of several worker ant riders, it has little combat ability.

Just as ordinary mosquitoes can't beat ants, mosquitoes don't pose much threat to ants, even though they're larger than worker ant riders.

……

Through these days' observations and statistics, Syst found that about fifty of the more than 500 large ants and ant knights who had been chrysalized for the second time had mastered special abilities.

In fact, when he was in the Warren Plains, Heatham discovered that more than a dozen ant knights who had been transformed into secondary chrysalis had mastered special abilities.

However, at that time, Sisstem had been preparing to go to the abyss, so he didn't pay too much attention to the abilities of the ants.

After a few days of detailed observations, Systm found that the abilities of the fifty ants were all very similar, and they were basically related to manipulating air currents.

emit a breeze; Release strong airflow; firing wind bombs for bombardment; Use air currents to float the body; Control the wind to form a rotation to form a cyclone......

Ants have different abilities to manipulate air currents, but they are all inseparable from air currents.

Through questioning and communicating with these ants, Systham also learned that the world sounds that these ants heard during their secondary chrysalis seemed to be somewhat different from him, Shava, and Blake.

It can be said that these ants did not really listen to the voice of the world, and were not truly empowered by the will of the world, but only awakened the bloodline given to them by Linda, the queen of ants.

In other words, after the second pupation, Linda, the queen ant who still doesn't know what kind of ability she has mastered, has actually gained the ability to control the air flow, that is, the ability to control the wind.

All the secondary pupation has not yet stimulated the ability of the ants in the body, and in fact, all they have mastered are the abilities of the wind.

Although in this way, the ants will not appear in a variety of abilities, but in this way, it also makes it clear that the ability that the ants possess is wind.

By allowing ants that can use their abilities to use their abilities near ants that cannot use their abilities, ants that could not have abilities in their bodies will gradually acquire the ability to manipulate air currents.

In fact, in the past few days, there will be two or three ants that have been pupated twice a day, so they have acquired this ability to manipulate the air flow.

However, in reality, the ants have little obvious effect on obtaining these wind-related abilities, and the air flow they control is generally weak, and they are not even used to assist in combat.

Among the many ants, only one Worker Ant Rider has a unique talent for manipulating air currents, which can levitate its body and float freely, and can even fire compressed wind bombs that can explode.

Whether it is the strength of the ability or the degree of control over the ability, it is dozens of times that of other ants.

Systham also gave the gifted ant rider a name - Jet.

In terms of the degree of use of ability, the jet is even more proficient than the original excavator.

It's just that this ability to manipulate the wind is nowhere near as useful as the excavator's ability, and Systham doesn't know what to do with the jets.

For now, the jet can only use its air cannon to fight mosquitoes outside.

……

After eating the harvested eggs, Systm moves the newly acquired female eggs to a relatively safe location in the room.

Because of her mental retardation and the fact that the queen ant had been imprisoned by Systm, the queen ant's mood became a little confused.

If Systm doesn't transfer the eggs, the queen will eat the eggs she has laid over time.

After tying the queen's feet and limbs with a string of plant fibers, Systham left the stone building of the underground floating island with Jace the snail.

Snail Jace, who was following behind Sistham, also complimented, "Congratulations to Your Majesty for obtaining another special ant egg." ”

In fact, the snail still didn't know why Syst was collecting the eggs, let alone what Stemm wanted to study the flying ants******* so he grabbed the snail Jace and continued to walk along the rocky passage inside the floating island.

The snail's crawling speed is simply too slow.

After digging into the Floating Island underground these days, Systm has learned more about the appearance of the Floating Island, and has moved his lair to this underground structure.

The entire floating island is circular in shape, and in the center of the floating island is a large blue crystal, which is the one that the original shadow failed to activate.

On the surface of the floating island, there are many stone buildings, most of which have been damaged and buried in the earth, and excavators will not be able to clean them up for a short time.

However, after these days of excavation, the excavator found a lot of space in the interior of the floating island.

That's why Systm moved the lair to this underground floating island.

Aside from the fact that it was more than a thousand meters above the ground, it was inconvenient to get to the ground, and Heatham was pleased with the wide and square stone passage of the floating island.

And because of the magic candles from the half-plane, these passages are already full of light and look good......
