Chapter 133: The Idea of Flying Ants

After three days of eating and consuming experience points, Systham strengthened Linda's [Chrysalis] talent from level 13 to level 15, and increased her talent level by 2 levels, reaching the upper limit of Linda's [Chrysalis] talent level.

However, the eggs produced by Linda, the queen of ants, have not changed much.

Except for a very small number of gifted ant eggs that are born with a high-level [Pupae] from the queen, most of the eggs' [Pupa" talent is still concentrated around level 6 to 8, and they still need to consume a large amount of slime gum to perform secondary pupation.

However, compared to the [pupation] talent of ordinary ants, which is generally 3 to 5, the eggs produced by Linda the queen have improved greatly.

At least there won't be congenitally deficient individuals like worker ant Blake.

Considering the relatively cold winter months and the lack of food, Systham finally asked Linda, the queen, to give birth to a thousand eggs.

If there is enough food, continue to produce some, and if there is not enough food, continue to expand the ant colony in the spring after the food is abundant.

At that time, the grassland will be very rich in both insects and grasses.

Ants are naturally good at storing food, and in the process of expanding the size of the ant colony in the summer, they will actively collect enough food for their winter.

……

And in the process of strengthening Linda, the queen ant, Syst suddenly came up with an idea, and once it appeared, it was out of control.

All that Systm had in mind was flying.

If his ant people have the ability to fly, it will be extremely convenient to gather food, find prey for siege, or migrate long distances.

In fact, both females and males have the ability to fly, but when females mate with males, their wings fall off and they never grow again.

As for worker ants and soldier ants, because of their genetics, ants are not born with wings.

However, this does not mean that the worker ants and soldier ants do not have winged bloodlines, but this bloodline will not be stimulated, and the worker ants and soldier ants have the possibility of growing wings again.

It's a pity that Systm used his tentacles to [sense] for a long time, and he didn't find out how to activate the bloodline of the wings in Linda's body, and the bloodline of the ant's wings seemed to be very different from that of grasshoppers.

The rest of the worker ant riders and ant eggs Sistemm sensed and found nothing to discover.

To this end, Systham decided to search for winged males and females in the Warren Plains to compare them with the bloodlines of Queen Linda.

Although there are many fewer ant nests in the Warren Plains than in the Lierte Forest, there are some ant nests.

Even after the summer rainy season, these ants will still survive partially.

In the past three days, in his free time to strengthen Queen Linda's [Pupa] talent, Sistemm will take the excavator to dig other ant nests together, looking for possible female or male ants.

After a year and a half, the excavator is arguably the fastest growing of the many ant people in Heatham.

……

Species: Large Worker Ant (renameable)

Rating: 14/14

Length: 0.26 m

Weight: 17 kg

Estimated combat power: 12-16

Special: [Pupae] (12/12), [Insect Adaptability] (9/19)

……

The large worker ant excavator may have absorbed the power of the earth, and its level has reached the same level as Shava, reaching the full level of 14, and the carapace of its body is covered with a thick layer of earth armor, which is very heavy.

Today's excavator can quickly drill a tunnel underground for his own passage, as if it were a retreat, digging a distance of nearly half a meter every second.

If it weren't for the fact that the talent level of the Excavator's [Pupa) was really difficult to improve, it might have entered the third Pupae half a year ago.

With the help of such a powerful digger, it is naturally very easy to dig up a few ant nests.

With the help of an excavator, Syst destroyed five ant nests in a row, and harvested a lot of food stored in these nests.

Unfortunately, most of the ants in these anthills are dormant in winter, and even a few queens in the depths of the anthill have been found by Sistem, but the female or male ants have not found half of them at all.

Obviously, in the depths of winter, no ants choose to mate at this stage, so there are no females and males at all.

Systham's idea of creating a flying ant population has no choice but to put it on hold for the time being, and it is estimated that it will not be until after spring that he can find some female or male ants that can fly, and then compare them with the bloodline in Linda's body.

……

For three days, Systm found no flying females or males, and no small animals.

But with a casual glance in the air, Heatham spotted a firelight and a blurred vision to the northwest, hundreds of kilometers away.

If it weren't for this sudden burst of light, it would have been difficult for Heatham to detect movement in the distance.

Densely packed with all kinds of zombies, there are wild wolves and antelopes on all fours, as well as dwarf people and tall gnolls.

There were more than 100,000 zombies gathered, and they seemed to be attacking a town with stone walls.

Systm saw red flames burst among the zombies, and he didn't know if he had used a spell or a bomb-like magic item.

Because of the distance, Sistem's view was blurry, and he couldn't tell if the zombies had the advantage or the gnolls in the town.

So Systm watched for a few minutes and then flew out of the air.

"It would be nice if the shadow was there......"

Unable to see in the distance, Seastem, who knew nothing about what was happening on the Warren Plains, remembered the Shadow, the grasshopper beast who had gone to assassinate the old druid to avenge Kun.

Possessing stealth and concealment, Shadow was naturally suited to spy on intelligence, and she escaped from the old druid's hands after a failed assassination attempt, so she would have no problem facing most situations.

If Shadow can be here, he will definitely find out what happened on the Warren Plains, so that he will not be like now, and he will basically be in a state of enlightenment after coming to this world for more than two years.

The breath of shadow that Systm felt during the long chrysalis process was indeed real.

According to Black, Shadow, who failed to assassinate the old druid, managed to find his lair a few months earlier and stayed in his lair for a few days before leaving again.

Instead of recklessly assassinating the old druid, Shadow decided to return to the twenty-sixth layer of the abyss, where she wanted to rescue some of her former insect fellows and bring them to Sistum.

Blake, who knew the low-key development that Heatham wanted, persuaded Shadow to let Shadow stay here and not cause trouble, and wait for Heatham to wake up before making plans.

However, Shadow is obviously a guy who will not change his mind no matter how much others persuade him.

Ei eventually leaves, but she accepts Black's advice before leaving.

Promise Blake to be as careful as possible in rescuing her fellow bugs, so that her former owner doesn't notice it, and he doesn't cause any trouble for Sisstem's lair.
