210 Soul Eater and Golden Queen
After Su Chen asked his master for peace, he left the Sun Mansion.
"There is still more than a year left until the five-year period...!"
He pondered for a moment, he didn't have much time left to prepare, and he had to hurry. Go back and refine the Three Treasure Gourds and prepare a set of usable magic weapons.
Su Chen's flying sword turned around, went to Tonglu Mountain, and found Master Qian who was refining in the refining room of Tonglu Mountain, saying that he was in a hurry to use it, and urged him to refine the remaining five flying swords as soon as possible.
Master Qian immediately promised to ask his master to refine the remaining flying swords as soon as possible.
Su Chen Yujian returned to the mountain peak courtyard and took a look at a nest of alien insects that he had raised.
The more than ten eggs that the master gave him had already hatched.
Su Chen kept them in the underground retreat room, and sealed them in a huge closed spirit jade vessel so as not to run away, and raised them for almost a year.
At first, they hatched from the eggs, all of them were only the size of black rice grains, and when they were born, they were like more than a dozen black spirit ants, very weak, and all of them were not as strong as a first-order spirit butterfly.
Su Chen saw their weak appearance like black and autumn millet grains, and originally thought that they were some ordinary black spirit ants, and he was quite disappointed.
Black spirit ants are very common in the world of cultivating immortals, and they are low-level medicinal materials of the spirit ant class, which are usually used as the lowest-level nourishing elixir "spirit ant pills", which have the effect of strengthening the body, and it is quite beneficial for low-level qi refining period monks to take it.
Black spirit ants are too common to be found on any spirit mountain. He spent a piece of spirit stone to let the disciples of the Qi refining period dig the spirit ant nest, and he could buy a nest.
But Su Chen thought that Sun Zhen, as a Jindan monk, the alien insect eggs that he returned from the adventure zone should not be such a low-level black spirit ant. Sun Zhen is an alchemy master, and he must be very familiar with the black spirit ant medicinal material, so he shouldn't be unrecognizable.
Su Chen was patient, and after hatching them, he continued to raise them.
Su Chen was surprised to find that they ate everything, especially like spirit objects, demon beast meat and spirit wood.
Su Chen even tried once, throwing a discarded spirit knife to them. It took them a few days to eat it little by little.
Throw in some ore with aura, and they will eat it directly.
Whether it is earth ore, fire ore, or ice ore, they are all taboo and eat desperately. Unless, they can directly freeze and burn them to death, they will not eat them.
Once they are hungry, they will even eat the spirit jade that holds them, and they will be able to gnaw out a small hole in less than an hour.
"Their capabilities are... Soul Eater?"
Su Chen was frightened, and even had a trace of fear.
This is not an ability that ordinary black spirit ants can have, ordinary black spirit ants do not have such a big appetite, and they only eat meat.
If they run out, with their appetite, wouldn't even a spiritual mountain and spiritual wood be eaten by them?
Fortunately, their individual strength is too weak, and they will die if they pinch it.
Su Chen planned to continue to raise and observe.
In order to prevent them from escaping, he thickened the periphery of the spirit jade with a solid rock deep, so that they would not eat through the spirit jade wall.
Even, he bought back a first-order mid-grade pangolin spirit beast to keep next to him, in case they got out of the hole and escaped, let the pangolin spirit beast eat them quickly.
Of course, the soul eaters love the most is the meat of spirit beasts.
As long as a large amount of spirit beast meat is given, they desperately eat spirit beast meat and do not eat anything else. Moreover, eating spirit animal meat grows faster than eating other spirit animals.
In order to feed them, lest they eat the spirit jade, Su Chen had to go to the coast of the East China Sea often, hunt and kill the first-order kraken fish with a large body and feed them.
A thousand-pound sea fish, they have more than a dozen spirit ants, and they have eaten a fine light in a month.
In just one month, they grew small wings and turned into more than a dozen black flying ants.
Spirit Flying Ants, of course, are much stronger than ordinary Spirit Ants. Their strength has also increased a lot, and ten black flying ants are enough to compare with a first-order lower grade spirit butterfly.
This made Su Chen frightened and worried, but also somewhat had some expectations, wanting to see how far they could grow.
After the Soul Eater Ant grows wings, it becomes an "adult" and begins to have the ability to reproduce.
Six males and four females, each female ant can lay one young egg at a time.
And their reproduction and growth period does not seem to be fixed, depending entirely on the amount of spiritual food. The more food you eat, the frenzied spawning, the faster the population will reproduce.
Under the abundant spiritual food, the original ten golden flying ants only took a year to lay eggs, and they multiplied into a nest of up to two or three hundred black flying ants.
In the jade, they used all kinds of spirit stone slag and bone slag to build a black flying ant nest. Relying on Su Chen's feeding every day, he continues to multiply and grow.
Su Chen often went to hunt big demon fish and raise them.
But he was at a loss, not knowing what he could do with these Soul Eater Flying Ants.
Medicine?
There are many spiritual herbs planted in his spiritual mountain, and there is no need to spend this energy to raise a nest of flying spirit ants that can be eaten so much to use for medicine.
Fighting to drive away ants?
This nest of flying ant colonies may have some combat effectiveness.
But Su Chen's headache was that he couldn't control this Lingfei ant colony.
Their intelligence is too low, lower than that of a spirit butterfly, and it is easy to control one of them. But the number of them made him helpless and helpless.
Su Chen can erase the spirit of the spirit butterfly, and use the butterfly recipe to control the spirit butterfly, collect honey, fight, and so on.
However, with such hundreds of spirit flying ants, Su Chen's divine thoughts could not be separated from so many to control. No monk can do it, not even Brother Jindan.
Su Chen had been raising them for nearly a year, thinking about them for a long time, and he didn't find out what he could use them for.
He even thought to himself, what a waste of energy. And in another year, he will leave Penglai Immortal Sect and go down the mountain to practice. If it didn't work, he could only kill all the spirit flying ants.
In case they run out, with their ability to eat everything, digging mountains and eating mountains, I am afraid that it will harm the entire Penglai Immortal Sect. At that time, he will become a sinner of Penglai Immortal Sect.
On this day, Su Chen observed the Soul Devouring Flying Ant Nest.
The powerful divine thought directly penetrated this nest of spirit devouring flying ants inside the spirit jade.
Ever since the Soul Eaters built this nest, it seems that this colony has begun a new evolution. There is a distinction between the worker and the soldier, and the worker is thin and agile, and it is still black. The Soldier Flying Ant has a huge head that gradually turns copper.
"Huh!"
Su Chen was suddenly taken aback.
He was surprised to find that in the deepest part of the nest, there was actually a female ant with a bloated and huge body like a fist, lying inside.
It is about the strength of the middle stage of the first order, which is equivalent to the middle stage of Qi refining cultivator.
He was covered in golden light and had a pair of short golden wings on his back. It's just that the wings are too small for it to fly at all. It doesn't need to move, it just keeps eating and then keeps spawning.
Its own rank strength is also constantly increasing.
Dozens of worker ants lined up, biting small pieces of minced meat to feed the female ant spirit animal meat. There are also a large number of soldier spirit ants, guarding this queen ant and chasing other female ants who kill the nest.
The female ant was apparently controlling the entire nest, trying to kill all the other females. The dead female ants were all dragged out of the nest by the worker ants.
Among the female ants, a golden spirit devouring ant queen was born?!
Su Chen was very surprised.
After giving birth to a first-order mid-grade spirit ant, this is the real spirit flying ant nest. With the queen's egg-laying ability, this nest of soul-devouring flying ants can simply expand at an explosive rate.
Su Chen suddenly thought of something, and his heart moved, revealing a look of surprise.
He finally came up with a way to control the Soul Eater Ant Colony.
...
The Golden Spirit Eater Queen was eating the flesh of the spirit beast, when suddenly it froze, as if something had penetrated into its brain like a pinprick.
It panicked in a sharp pain in its brain, and struggled violently to twist its body to resist the invasion of the idea.
For a time, the soul devouring ant nest**, the ants were in chaos.
They sensed that the queen's thoughts were disturbed, and issued various chaotic orders to them to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. They have a strong crisis coming, but they don't know where the foreign enemy is coming from.
It was a long time before the queen stopped struggling and writhing.
It regained its composure, indifferently glanced at the flying ants, and continued to nibble on the flesh of the spirit beast and lay eggs.
The soldiers and bow ants also stopped, looking very dazed, not knowing what had just happened.
Fortunately, the spiritual sense of their skulls does not allow them to think, and thinking has always been the queen's business. They soon continued to get busy, gathering spiritual food.
...
Su Chen sat cross-legged in the underground retreat room, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just now, he actually underestimated the enemy, and he almost failed to erase the spiritual sense of this golden soul eater ant queen with "Butterfly Transformation".
The spiritual sense of this golden soul devouring ant queen is surprisingly powerful, far more powerful than the spirit butterfly. Presumably it has something to do with its control of the entire Soul Eater Nest. With only the strength of the middle of the first order, its spiritual sense almost caught up with the power of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
Fortunately, Su Chen had been cultivating the "Butterfly Transformation Technique" for a long time, and his divine thoughts were no longer comparable to ordinary foundation building monks.
As soon as he realized that something was wrong, he immediately swarmed up with three divine thoughts and forcibly obliterated the spirit consciousness of the Soul Eater Ant Queen.
If it grows to the foundational stage, its spiritual sense will become extremely powerful.
I'm afraid that I can't erase its spiritual consciousness at all, so I can only kill its physical body to destroy it.
At this time, Su Chen's wisp of divine thought had already occupied the brain of the Queen of Spirit Eaters, controlling its actions.
Su Chen had a very mysterious feeling, as if at this time, the wisp of his own divine thought that occupied the head of the queen ant had a slight connection with every worker ant and soldier ant in the entire soul devouring ant nest.
He can use the Queen's Divine Mind to command any Soul Eater Flying Ant at will, and he will never be resisted by them.
Su Chen finally felt at ease, as long as he controlled the Soul Eater Ant Queen, he could keep track of every move of the Spirit Eater Ant Nest at any time. This nest of Soul Devouring Flying Ants is relatively safe, at least there is no need to worry about them suddenly rebelling.
This nest of soul-devouring flying ants can finally be controlled by him.
When he refined the Three Treasure Gourd, he put this nest of Soul Devouring Flying Ants into the Golden Gourd and carried it with him to leave the Penglai Immortal Sect to see how far they could grow.
