A few days later, Chen Xing brought his equipment and went to the hatchery room of the anthill again.

He soon discovered that Suna had a few more carapaces on her belly. He subconsciously scanned it with a black watch.

[Mutant Termite Queen?] (Normal?) Database error......]

[Vitality: 1368/1371]

[Innate Abilities: Scythe Foot, Solid Carapace, Telepathy, Spawning, Evolution]

[Virus Possible: None]

Sure enough, after absorbing the corpse of the elite-level crypt tarantula, Suna's vitality has increased a lot, and she also has the ability to have a "solid carapace".

After giving Suna some snacks, he took thirty worker ants and fifteen soldier ants to the underground edible mushroom plantation.

After arriving at the site in a bug truck, he began to order the worker ants to dig a new tunnel to bypass the last landslide and connect to the entrance of the plantation.

The excavation work takes at least a few hours. While waiting, he took out a palm-sized portable screen, connected to the black watch, and flipped through the mutated biological data downloaded in Longshi Town last time.

[Post-Cataclysmic Biology Encyclopedia]

[Eukaryotes...... Animal kingdom...... Invertebrate...... Phylum Arthropods, Hexapod Subphylum...... Insecta, winged subclasses...... Cockroaches...... Termite ......]

[Native Plane Primary, Native Variant, Heterotopic Primary......]

Chen Xing chose the "native plane variant class" at first, but he didn't find relevant information, so he went back and re-selected the "heteroplane native class".

After scrolling across the screen for a while, he found information about mutant termites.

[Mutant termites, scientific name: Underworld termites]

[Native Place: Underworld Plane]

[Distribution: Multiverse Carbon Life Zone]

[Habit: Swarm Creature]

[Traits: Psionic affinity, matter disintegration, telepathy]

[Description: This creature inhabits the soft soil and magma layers of the Underworld, and is skilled in absorbing and wielding psionic energy.] It is an omnivorous organism with a very powerful digestive system, which can decompose most substances including "pure gold", "mythril", "black titanium" and so on.

The young insects can only live in the soft soil layer, and when they mature, they can enter the magma layer and can directly swallow the hot magma as nutrients for survival. After igniting the "spiritual fire" in the crystal nucleus, it can also have the ability to teleport at a short distance.

According to the "Drifting Ancient Books", the postworm can further evolve into a "fully mature body", also known as the "Star Eater Ant Queen", which can live in rock layers and the "Endless Void" (no case yet).

In addition, in some special cases, in order to adapt to the environment of the current plane, the postworm can "merge" with the local female creatures to produce new postworms (no cases yet)]

[Case: DR2251-5, Underground Survival Shelter M31 in the Central Wilderness is attacked by unidentified insects.] Mutant termites were discovered for the first time and annihilated along the ant path. dr2255-11, while digging a backup water station at the N54 Underground Survival Station in the Northern Wilderness, an underground anthill was dug through, and an encounter occurred, which then blew up the passage and abandoned the construction of the backup water station......]

Chen Xing flipped through the information casually, and the corner of his eye swept his gaze from time to time to the worker ants walking around him, carrying the soil.

These termites do not have a carapace on their abdomen, which is a very big weakness. In the event of a fight, it is very easy to get fatally damaged.

He couldn't help but think of the small vests of the family pets on Earth, and then of the war horses of the Middle Ages. They are draped in scales or canvas and are not easily injured. Thinking of this, he hurriedly called the worker ants to stop and let them pull the cart back to the ground.

Then, he designed a canvas vest that could be worn by termites overnight, plus a drape to cover the abdomen, and asked the cook in the camp to make a batch out of tent cloth.

After finishing it, he transported it back to the anthill in a bug cart and put it on the soldier ants and some of the worker ants. As a result, their protection is greatly improved. Moreover, with a small vest and a drape, you can also fix a miner's lamp on it, or stuff a few grenades into it, and become a "self-detonator".

"Brother, I'm going to get dressed too." Suna saw that the babies were wearing new clothes, and she also yelled for it.

Chen Xing went up again and got a white silk scarf and hung it around Suna's neck, which was considered a new dress. Although it was a little perfunctory, Suna still screamed with joy. I have to say that her mind is still in her teens, she is really easy to deceive.

Next, Chen Xing took the soldier ants and worker ants to the underground edible mushroom plantation and continued to excavate.

"Tsk!"

A few hours later, with a trembling sound of insects, the tunnel was dug through.

A black spider stuck its head in and dragged the frontmost worker ant out. Chen Xing raised his gun and fired, the bullet hit its head, and most of the eight compound eyes that emitted red light were extinguished immediately.

"Twitter!"

Immediately afterward, the three spider heads scrambled into the corridor. But they're so big that only the head can get in. Chen Xing pulled the trigger, and the bullets suddenly poured out, causing the three black spiders to scream and retreat.

In order to avoid the collapse of the newly excavated road, Chen Xing did not dare to throw a blasting grenade, but it was okay to burn the grenade.

"Ding!"

With the crisp sound of pulling the ring, a red lacquered canister rolled out of the tunnel and exploded at the feet of the spiders, instantly igniting a sea of fire.

Chen Xing only felt the heat wave rushing towards him, and hurriedly shrank back.

The cave tarantulas hissed in pain and fled into the depths of the passage in a state of fire, disappearing into the darkness.

When the fire outside the corridor was extinguished, termites draped in canvas poured out. The miner's lamp strapped to their backs illuminates the surroundings.

"Go up and scout."

Chen Xing pointed forward, and the three worker ants immediately crawled towards the depths of the passage. They each have two blasting grenades strapped to them, which will detonate if they are bitten.

"Boom, boom!"

It wasn't long before there was a flash of fire ahead, followed by several explosions, followed by a hissing of pain.

"Go again!"

Three more self-exploding worker ants burst into the plantation and caused another explosion.

After that, there was no movement for a long time. It is estimated that the spider swarm was frightened and retreated. Chen Xing led the ant colony forward, and soon reached the entrance of the underground plantation.

What catches your eye is a huge arched tunnel. Both sides are low, resembling cages, or chicken coops.

Chen Xing immediately understood that this was not an edible mushroom plantation, but a livestock farm.

Livestock farms are much smaller in size than plantations and are places where people raise food livestock with edible mushrooms.

Looking left and right, the tunnel is twenty or thirty meters wide, and the flashlight in front of it can't shine on the head, I don't know how long.

After entering the tunnel, Chen Xing immediately scattered the soldier ants around, kept on guard, and then asked the worker ants to conduct a blanket search.

After advancing about 20 meters, Chen Xing was outside the breeding pen and found a broken skeleton. Bones were scattered around, but it was a complete human being.

Further on, quite a few more were discovered. They all have one thing in common – they are eaten cleanly. It must have been attacked by some underground creatures, and the flesh on his body was eaten, leaving only bone slag.

After a little further advancement, Chen Xing saw something shining. Pick it up, it's heavy, like a brick.

[East Continent Bank 1kg universal gold brick, manufactured by pre-cataclysmic process, about 1000 grams, currency in circulation]

[Market Valuation: 256 Gold (World Bank)]

Chen Xing was suddenly pleasantly surprised, this kind of gold brick was made by the bank before the cataclysm, and it is a circulating currency that can be directly exchanged for gold coins. The weight of the gold coin is about 3.9 grams, and one gold brick is equal to 256.

Keep going, find two more pieces, and make a lot of money!

"Hiss ......"

Just as Chen Xing was indulging in ecstasy, there was a slight sound in front of him, like the sound of a poisonous snake spitting letters.

Chen Xing felt a tingling pain in his scalp and immediately rolled to the side.

In the next second, a white mass was projected from above. The termites that were hit fell to the ground, struggling desperately and hissing in horror.

When I looked at it, it was a mass of white filaments, clinging and entangled around their bodies, as if they were extremely tough, locking their limbs, unable to move.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Chen Xing quickly got up and ran backwards while shouting. The termites that were not entangled in spider silk turned around and followed.
