After three months......

Raymond, who was sitting cross-legged in the basement and meditating using a solid ritual text, woke up from meditation in vain.

There was still a hint of confusion in his stunned eyes, but soon Raymond, who stood up, heard the sound of the squirrel.

The sound produced by this large number of creatures crawling made Raymond feel stunned, and he immediately turned around and rushed to Raymond in the upper room, and immediately saw an amazing scene.

For some reason, there were some rubble and cracks several inches wide in the corners of the room, and many black ants were constantly burrowing in from the outside.

The ants, which were first seen by Raymond, were about ten centimeters long and had a small number of red spots on their pitch-black bodies.

The red-spotted ants didn't seem to be aware of Raymond's appearance at the top of the stairs, but Raymond soon saw that he was hanging on a few pieces of jerky in the corner, and quite a few of them were crawling, and they were gnawing at the jerky with their hard palates.

But to Raymond's surprise, even the hard bones, as if unable to resist their gnawing, were gradually disappearing.

Raymond, who was relieved, immediately understood that these red-spotted ants must have noticed the food stored in the room, so they appeared here, so Raymond, who had condensed the magic vines in his hand, immediately caught a few red-spotted ants and wanted to check them.

However, Raymond's actions made these red-spotted ants aware of his presence, and as if they felt threatened, they quickly rushed towards Raymond after the commotion.

When Raymond was about to deprive the force field to exert it, he immediately made the red spotted ants that entered within five meters of him move slowly, but the red spotted ants that were still pouring in from the cracks in the wall made the number of ants in the room increase greatly, and formed a pile on the edge of the deprivation force field in front of Raymond.

In a moment, he was three meters away from Raymond's face. A mountain of ants half a meter high was piled up, and the red-spotted ants that were still swarming over rolled from the bodies of their companions to his feet after entering the range of the force field, slowly moving their bodies to attack him.

Seeing this, Raymond's face became ugly, ignoring these small things climbing at his feet, but pinched the red-spotted ants he had caught earlier in his hands and began to check.

The mutant ant formed after being exposed to high-intensity radiation still has a metallic luster on its thick upper jaw, and under Raymond's vigorous pinching, the upper jaw of this red-spotted ant has not been crushed.

The red-spotted ant, which was very strong and powerful, struggled in Raymond's hands. Its shriveled abdomen has faint red spots, and its outer shell is as strong as normal metal, extremely hard.

But with the hissing sound of the red-spotted ant in its hand, a small cloud of mist also spread from its mouth, just enveloping Raymond's fingers inside.

There was a sour smell at the end of the nose. Raymond, who was pinching the roof of the red ant's jaw, immediately felt the stinging pain in the tips of his fingers, and Raymond was stunned to find that the skin of his fingers had turned white. Obviously, the acid of this red spot ant is corrosive. There is already a threat to Raymond's body.

The fingers pinching the red-spotted ant began to exert force, and after a bang, its hard palate was finally pinched, but its three pairs of gastropods were still struggling, and the tips of the fingers appeared Raymond, who had wooden thorns, and soon found its poison sac from the body of these red-spotted ants.

The soybean-sized sac resembles a spider's sac, but with a yellow liquid seeping through it. But it's obviously very powerful.

Looking at the red-spotted ants that were still swarming in the corner, Raymond finally felt uneasy, and he immediately used his spiritual power to penetrate the rocks above his head to the surface, but the situation on the surface made his face turn pale.

Because under the probing of his spiritual power. The surface, ten meters above his basement, was already covered in the red-spotted ants.

Even those flying ants with wings have blocked out the sunlight with their numbers, and they are heading in one direction like dark clouds.

And in the short time that Raymond was probing the surface situation, the red-spotted ants that came out of the cracks in the corner of the wall continued to swarm in, and they crawled towards Raymond like crazy, and their speed also made Raymond feel uneasy.

Raymond, who quickly followed the cracks that these red-spotted ants had entered, immediately saw that in the area where his basement was located, countless ant paths had appeared, and the number of red-spotted ants that could not be judged had turned a range of fifty meters underground into their territory!

Raymond, who understood the current situation, immediately turned around and rushed to the room on the lower floor, and after packing up the small things that were already few, he condensed the plant armor on the surface of his body, and immediately rushed to the surface after slightly increasing the strength of the deprivation force field.

Raymond, who came out of the ground, performed his flying spell after leaving his basement, causing him to stand one meter above the ground.

There are countless colonies of red-spotted ants at their feet, and everything within sight is covered by these red-spotted ants, and those flying ants whose flight altitude covers ten meters also began to gather after noticing Raymond's existence, and quickly launched an attack on Raymond.

But after these flying ants entered the range of Raymond's force field, they were suppressed and fell to the ground, for a while there was no possibility of posing a threat to Raymond, seeing this, Raymond did not immediately take action, but carefully observed the direction of the red-spotted ants under his feet, and after a while, he realized that their target should be the abyss ten kilometers away.

But the flying ants in these red-spotted ant colonies in the air persevered in launching a futile attack on Raymond, and even some flying ants spit out their acid mist, wanting to cause harm to Raymond.

But as long as it enters Raymond's deprivation field, any flying ant will fall due to slow movement, but Raymond's short stay in mid-air caused the surrounding flying ants to gather, and the sound of flapping wings from the swarming ant colony around it became as loud as thunder.

Raymond, who was unwilling to consume mana on these flying ants, immediately increased his height when he saw this, and when he came to thirty meters in the air, these gathered flying ants had already appeared unable to follow, unable to enter the range of five meters around him.

However, these overwhelming red-spotted ants have covered everything in Raymond's sight with ant colonies, and so many of them make Raymond feel irresistible.

Because on the plain where Raymond's basement is located, the original sparse trees have disappeared, and even some of the low mounds have been covered with a thick layer of these ants.

The flying ants hovering under their feet and still refusing to disperse are as dense as insect mist, and the ant colonies on the ground that maintain a high speed are like a tide that is endlessly emerging on the horizon, as if there is no end at all!

The vast plain was covered by ant colonies, and Raymond, who was standing in mid-air and breathed a sigh of relief, was surprised by these sudden ant colonies.

"Where did such a large number of mutant ants come from?" Raymond, who continued to rise to a height of 100 meters, still couldn't see the edge of the ant colony, and he couldn't help but think after lowering the height. "Was it a suicidal migration at a time when the population was growing so much?"

Although he had not studied ants before, Raymond, who quickly made the chip access to the data, quickly saw the relevant records.

Some special ants, when the living environment changes or the number of races increases greatly, will appear to migrate when faced with a lack of food leading to population extinction.

Legion-like ant colonies will use everything they pass through as food, and eventually when they come to a place where they can continue to live, they will disperse and resume their old lives under the leadership of the queen ant.

Looking at the direction in which these red-spotted ants were heading, Raymond's eyes suddenly lit up...... (To be continued......)
