Chapter 379: Restless Human Ants
After another half a day, the first night in the dark realm came.
When night came, the territory did not get darker, everything became clearer. Whether it was plants, trees, or creatures, as well as the purple canopy overhead, all emitted a deep and shallow purple glow. Maybe the black energy on Zhang Le's body is too advanced, in a group of purple light, the purple emitted is too strong, and the color of the light is closer to white.
It's really a little irony.
Turning into a big light bulb is not something a spy should do. Zhang Le tried his best to use his mental power to control the dark energy into the body space, and after a few minutes, the situation finally improved a little, but the essence of the high-level dark energy did not change, the light was still purple and white, but the radiation range was much smaller.
The day's journey made Zhang Le very tired, and it was more of a mental tension. He decided to find a place to rest for a while.
In the distance, there is a forest with several hills.
Zhang Le originally thought that dark creatures only needed to absorb energy to survive, but after today's observation, he found that this was not the case.
Predatory behaviour also occurs between different species, especially among intermediate-level organisms. The lowest level of dark creatures is the brainless walking dead, and at the purple creature level, dark creatures begin to become colorful.
In the process of transforming normal creatures into dark creatures, the appearance of the creatures will change to a greater or lesser extent, just as ordinary creatures become mutated creatures.
Dark creatures are similar to mutating or strengthening again, although this evolution seems sinister, and the new species are a little more hideous. But after getting used to it, the new appearance is just like that, even in ordinary species, there are also ghost-looking animals.
The real evil of the dark creature lies in its exclusivity and uncompromising nature. Dark creatures cannot coexist in the same area as normal creatures, and the consequence of them being together is that you are dead or alive, and there can only be one victor.
This makes dark creatures the eternal enemies of normal creatures.
However, this is not to say that the dark creatures are a tyrannical, chaotic, and brainless species. Within them, there is a hierarchy, with its own order. At the same time, there will be conflicts between different species and even the same species, there will be the law of the jungle, and there will be mutual help.
Purple dark creatures are the backbone of this species and the main inhabitants. They have an unusually complex social interaction with each other.
In order to avoid revealing his identity, Zhang Le did not have any communication with them. What's more, the language they speak is also something Zhang Le has never heard. In terms of pronunciation, it is somewhat similar to the lizardmen's script, filled with a large number of stressed short bytes and fixed long syllables.
Zhang Le can pretend to be very cold and not talk to the surrounding creatures, but occasionally there are dark creatures who take the initiative to communicate with Zhang Le, and after a few refusals, although there is no problem, he has already seen a puzzled look in their red eyes.
Zhang Le sped up his speed and passed through the dark hordes that had become more active by the arrival of the night.
The border war on the other side of the Wall made him think that the number of dark creatures did not seem to be as large as he thought. But in fact, the number of purple-level dark creatures is extremely staggering. If all these guys poured into the interior of the Great Wall, they would definitely be able to kill the ant clan without leaving a single piece of armor.
He suddenly had a guess that not all dark creatures were warriors, or that not all of them would join the war, and that they were just ordinary residents of the dark realm.
What further supports his argument is that after coming to the interior of the forest in front of him, Zhang Le, standing on the branch of a huge tree, found a tribe of humanoid creatures. Although the main structure of the house they live in is derived from a giant mushroom, the walls of the house show obvious signs of construction.
There is no rain or snow in the Dark Territory, the temperature is cool and pleasant, and according to normal logic, there is no need for any construction here. Where there is architecture, there is true civilization.
Thinking of all this, Zhang Le hid in the depths of the branches of the giant tree and fell asleep.
Seventy kilometers away on the Great Wall.
Condelity looked at the huge purple curtain of light five kilometers away and fell into deep thought. In seven months, the lives of 700 million ant tribes, in exchange for the result, the dark territory retreated two kilometers.
As the first batch of cannon fodder human ants, he has long been prepared to die on the battlefield. However, the god of the ant clan has protected his life countless times. In countless battles of life and death, his super talent was gradually revealed, his physical body reached the standard of a high-level creature, and his mental power improved even more amazingly. As a commander, he has not used a "consecration potion", but there are many dark creatures that he has helped kill.
The promise made to him by Zhang Le, the Zerg Lord, caused his state of mind to change, and soon after Zhang Le left for the Dark Territory, he broke through again with hope for the future. Without relying on sacrificing the life of the ant clan, his spiritual power actually reached the lord level, and his physical body could reach the lord level.
Clusters of dazzling white flames appeared in front of him out of thin air, and the ultra-high temperature had melted the ice and snow on the surrounding city walls within a radius of more than ten meters. This is the energy derived from his spiritual power. After fighting against dark creatures for so long, he vaguely knew that this kind of energy was very damaging to dark creatures. Maybe it's the effect of the mind, after he becomes a lord-level creature, his spiritual power can condense this flame out.
The Commander had been gone for a day, and there was still no sign of it. Kandry couldn't believe the consequences. Among the more than 200 million new ant tribes, the direct descendants of human ants account for the vast majority.
Before the Commander had left, the newcomers pretended to follow the arrangements of the veterans. However, after Zhang Le left, these old men immediately turned their faces. They put on the posture of being powerful and good, and began to instruct the 300 million ant tribes earlier to do this and that, and the most important food warehouse was also taken over by them.
Among the newcomers, there were only thirty commanders with high mental power, and in Conderi's eyes, he could kill them all in a minute. If you control it with mental power, it's even simpler.
The moment Kandley became a lord-level creature, the genetic control of the direct descendants deliberately set by the queen ant no longer had an effect on him.
However, he could not kill them. Because, the biggest advantage of the ant tribe is the number of people. Killing these arrogant creatures has the potential to lead to an internal mutiny, which can lead to a massive death of the ant-clan. As a battle-hardened commander, he couldn't do that.
Forbearance has become a habit of Condeli. However, the premise of all this is based on the safety of the commander.
