I save the world by farming with science

Chapter 62

Ants are low-intelligence creatures with extremely short vision, but they have a very developed sense of smell and can smell organic substances more than ten meters away.

Walking in this underground ant nest, I am afraid that I will be attacked by ants within a few steps.

Yan Xi didn't want to go all the way to fight monsters. She gave simple instructions to the ants under her control, asking the ants to take them to the queen's nest.

Disguised as a "grain reserve" whose nerves were paralyzed, he mixed into the team of ants delivering food to the queen.

The plan went smoothly, and I have to thank these ants, although they mutated and evolved a huge body, they did not evolve a brain.

It would be tricky if these behemoths had brains.

Ants' underground nests are generally composed of multiple underground chambers, which are connected to each other, including nursery rooms, food storage rooms, mating rooms, and so on.

In the narrow and long wormhole tunnel, dozens of huge ants are lined up in an orderly row, and the long team is walking, and each ant carries "food" for the queen on its back.

Ants are omnivores. Yan Xi saw that there were plants, animals, and... people in the food delivery team!

In addition to her and Aiweiya, there were actually three other people in the food sent to the queen ant.

They seemed to have been bitten by ants, poisoned to paralyze their nerves, and carried on their backs by the ants who delivered food, unable to move.

One of them was right in front of Yan Xi.

"Ma'am, can you hear me? Are you okay?  …"

Yan Xi looked at the man on the back of the huge ant in front of him. He was dressed in white and wore round glasses. He was a young man.

Even though she was bitten by ants and couldn't move, she was still asking her if she was okay...

Yan Xi closed his eyes and rested, not wanting to speak.

As the team of ants went deeper and deeper into the crypt, the nests created by these monsters became bigger and bigger.Some of the nests of ground-dwelling ants are planar nests, and the nests have only one or two layers.

And this giant ant's nest is a three-dimensional nest, divided into two layers, the overall trend is vertically downward, the space is staggered, and the terrain is very complicated.

The team of ants delivering food went further and further down, to the second basement floor, and entered a large underground nest.

This is a very large lair. Yanxi took a look around and found that the lair is about 12 meters high and irregular oval in shape. Its volume is about the size of a football field.

But what really caught Yan Xi's attention was that she saw another team of ants carrying some things away.

It was a milky white object, slender in shape, shaped like a grain of rice, and the size of an ostrich egg.

Those are... ant eggs!
Has the queen ant started laying eggs? !

The team of ants transporting food stopped, and Yan Xi really saw the queen ant in the form of laying eggs in the depths of this cave.

The queen is a fertilized and reproductive female ant, usually the largest in the colony, 3 to 4 times the size of the worker ants.In some queens during the egg-laying period, the morphology will change.

And the ant queen that Yan Xi saw was exactly like this——

I saw a huge monster lying deep in the cave.

I saw that the monster was more than ten meters long, its head and upper body were still in the shape of ant, but its lower abdomen was a long white wriggling body, white and fat, like a huge caterpillar.

"What is that? It's so disgusting!" Aiweiya looked at the monster that looked like an alien creature. The huge white body was limp and squirmed, which caused her physical discomfort. .

"That's the queen ant."

When a man's voice came, Yan Xi followed the sound and saw that it was the man with glasses standing in front of them.

"Its abdominal cavity is so large because it is in the egg-laying period, and it is full of young ants."

The queen is laying eggs, as the man said

I saw that behind the abdominal cavity of the queen ant, white ant eggs were discharged one by one, and the worker ants were picking up and transporting those ant eggs methodically. They will be placed in a warm nest to wait for hatching.

On the other side, there are many worker ants lined up, feeding the food on their backs to the queen one by one.

And Yanxi and the others...

Also one of the "food".
