Chapter 32: Shadow
Systm quickly sprang into action, ordering the soldier ant Dasha to command the ordinary worker ants to build a nest for him to spend the winter.
Dasha was quite easy to command the ordinary worker ants, and by spraying a special acid solution and colliding antennae exchange, it didn't take long for it to lure out more than 100 worker ants from the vicinity of the anthill, and then go to a location a few meters away to excavate.
As the middle-level leader of the ant nest, Dasha has the right to dispatch ordinary worker ants.
Usually ordinary soldier ants can command dozens of worker ants, but the smarter Dasha can command more soldier ants, probably able to drive about a hundred worker ants.
It's not that Dasha can't drive more worker ants, but theoretically there is no upper limit to the number of worker ants that soldier ants can control with their formic acid.
However, driving too many soldier ants will undoubtedly make the soldier ants with insufficient command ability take care of one or the other, and let them control the worker ant army into chaos, and the efficiency will be greatly reduced.
There is a method of how to drive the worker ants, which seem to be born in the blood of the soldier ants, and the soldier ants are born to know how to control ordinary worker ants, and they are born to know the number of soldier ants that are suitable for their control.
……
However, although the idea of digging a wintering nest was good, watching the soldier ant Dasha lead the worker ants to dig for a while, Sisham found a lot of unsatisfactory places.
Although he had asked the soldier ant Dasha to order the ants to dig their burrows wider, he didn't know if the message sent by Dasha with acid was wrong, or if the IQ of ordinary ants was too low, in short, the burrows dug by the ants were too narrow.
It took nearly an hour of communication, and under the command of the soldier ant Dasha, the worker ants gradually widened the soil near the cave entrance.
But this is only the entrance of the cave, and the width of the ** part of the cave is not clear at all.
When Systm tries to get close to the cave to check, he is mercilessly attacked by these ordinary worker ants.
In the final analysis, Sissym's command of these ants still relies on the soldier ant Dasha as a transit station.
As a result, the soldier ant with a lower IQ commanded the worker ants with a lower IQ, resulting in a tragedy in which one plus one is greater than two.
Sistemm ordered Dasha to transfer all the worker ants out of the way, only to find that the ants were not able to get into them, except that the hole was a little wider, and the structure of the internal passage was almost identical to that of the ant nest.
For a whole afternoon, except for the first two hours, the worker ant construction team led by Syst and the soldier ant Dasha basically stood still.
If you want to talk about progress, in fact, there is also a problem, as long as he keeps ordering the soldier ant Dasha to command according to his method, this group of worker ants will listen to some orders to some extent.
But this was clearly too inefficient to meet the passing mark that Heatham had envisioned.
"Can't there be more ants like Dasha?"
Sistum looked at the soldier ants rubbing his thighs affectionately, Dasha, if there were hundreds of obedient worker ants like Dasha to drive him, let alone build a wintering crypt, even if it was not a problem to build five.
Tell Dasha to continue digging holes with these worker ants.
Regardless of his disbelief, Syst went to the ant's nest again and tried to use [Teleportation] to find an obedient ant like Dasha.
After using lies to make nearly a hundred ants go crazy in a row, Syst finally reluctantly determined that the soldier ant Dasha was just a special case among the ants.
Even if ordinary ants are deceived by his lies, they will basically find out that something is wrong within tens of seconds, and then attack him without hesitation.
"Tens of seconds?"
Systm suddenly realized something, but for a moment he didn't think of the point.
Heatham thought for a moment, played back the image of the derivative ability [Information Entry] in his mind, and then used the light curtain menu of [Self-Information Generation] to input the specific information of the more than 100 ants that he had just deceived with a lie for statistical analysis.
The time from being deceived by him to going crazy with anger is basically between 30 and 60 seconds, usually in the first 20 seconds these ants will believe him very much, and in about 25 seconds they will enter a sluggish state and become mentally confused.
After entering the chaos, according to the individual differences of different ants, the time for these ants to wake up is different, and there is a large difference, as little as 5 seconds, and more will last for nearly 30 seconds.
"Could it be that I have a difference in the lies I tell them?"
Systham shook his head, the messages he had transmitted to these ants using [Psychic Transmission] were basically the same, even in a similar tone.
Thinking back to the image in [INFORMATION REDACTED], it occurred to Systm that something suddenly occurred to him.
After a few hours of moving the [INFORMATION REDACTED] image forward, Systm finally found the key point he had in mind.
A few hours earlier, he had asked Dasha to catch an ant's larva from an anthill.
Before eating the ant larva, he also told a lie to the ant larva using [teleportation].
Although the ant larvae finally saw through his lie, it took him nearly five minutes to be deceived by him, which was much longer than the time for the ants to become adults.
If you can get the soldier ant Dasha to catch some ant larvae from the anthill for him to test......
No!
The success rate of ants may still be low, but what about the eggs before they become larvae?
If ant eggs are brainwashed from an early age, will these ants become as obedient as the soldier ants?
If this idea succeeds, let the soldier ant Dasha carry some eggs for him to brainwash, and after a period of time the eggs hatch, and then wait for the larvae to become adults, he can have many ants that work for him.
The only downside was that he couldn't be sure how long the process would take, and Systm didn't know exactly how long the black-brown ant would grow.
As for the soldier Dasha, who had no sense of time at all, Sistemm asked how long it took for it to be born and mature, but it only showed a very blank expression, and could not answer at all.
If it takes too long to change from eggs to adult ants, he can only give up and find another way out......
……
……
And it was also while Sistemm was planning preparations for wintering.
A worm beast crossed the void from the Lierte Forest and returned to the abyss......
The Lëlte Forest is covered in snow and ice all year round, and since the disappearance of the glacier lords of the Lêlte Mountains three hundred years ago, the snow and ice have begun to melt and become a climate with four distinct seasons.
Shadow has been traveling back and forth between the Abyss and the Forest of Lilt for thirty years.
Every year at the end of summer, she is sent to the Overworld by her master, an Abyss Druid, in a special secret method, and then searches for bugs beyond the limits of the race to bring back to the Abyss.
Shadow loves the sunshine of the Overworld, but she can't stay in the Overworld for long......
Abyss Druids, formerly known as the Swarm Druids, are good at driving the swarms of nature and belong to a branch of the Druids.
After the Swarm Druids surrendered to the Demon Lord Orgen, the Druids' betrayals, the Swarm Druids, became known as the Abyssal Druids.
They used the flesh and blood of bugs to create a hive, which significantly improved the hatching efficiency of new demons, and led to the development of many new types of demons.
Ying didn't know these things before, and it wasn't until the last ten years that she gradually understood these things.
She regretted it, she regretted that she had killed two of her kind who had betrayed their masters so long ago......
She didn't understand anything at the time.
Shadow knew that she now had the same wisdom as the two of her own kind who had betrayed their masters.
After handing over a bug that had reached the limit of her race to her master, the shadow disappeared into the shadows......
She hides a special bug in the Lierte Forest, Kun.
Shadow is looking forward to meeting her and Kun again next year, and although the other party is much weaker than her, Kun has something she doesn't have......
