Chapter 24 Fighting and fighting, the ant colony evolves

Under Yuan Shi's gaze, some ant eggs swayed slightly, and tiny ants crawled out one by one, then turned around and ate the egg shells that gave birth to themselves.

These ants grew up almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Eh~? Hey, will ants eat their own egg shells?"

Looking at the behavior of those young ants, Yuan Shi couldn't help but look confused and confused. He really didn't remember that ants would eat his own egg shells.

But really speaking, these egg shells might actually contain the nutrients that ants need. After all, they are also bred from the body of the queen ant.

When he saw this, Yuan Shi also reacted quickly. It was time for him to put out food again.

Some rice soaked in water was sprinkled directly by Yuan Shi.

After a while of crackling, large pieces of ant corpses completely collapsed, turning into pieces of dark brown soil.

The noise caused by the food falling immediately attracted the attention of the ant colonies from all directions, and worker ants were sent out to carry the food.

The queen ant and the young ants just sit back and enjoy the results.
Needless to say, the queen ant is an egg-laying machine. Especially when accelerated by consciousness, she will lay thousands of ant eggs every day. Naturally, she needs to consume a lot of food, and she basically cannot move.

And the young ants, because they are just born, have no ability and can't do anything, they can only wait for the worker ants to feed them.

However, the growth rate of young ants is still very fast, which is almost visible to the naked eye. It takes no more than a day for them to turn into cocoons and pupae.

Then in nearly a day, those ants that have grown into adult ants will break out of their cocoons one after another.

Most of them will grow into worker ants.

The lifespan of these worker ants is now about one day to one month. Within this period of time, many worker ants will die one after another.

Then contribute a wave of consciousness energy to Yuan Shi, as well as some body structure, strength gene knowledge, etc.

Of course, if necessary, the queen will also produce male ants, as well as female ants who can be called princesses.

In just a few days and nights, the ant colonies shrouded in the force field of consciousness energy began to develop again.

Today, every ant colony is a huge group of tens of thousands of ants.

As these ant colonies developed, the small half of the living room covered by the force field of consciousness became a bit small.

Even if the food put in by Yuan Shi was sufficient, conflicts began to occur where the various ant colonies met each other, and a large number of ants continued to die.

As time goes by, long black-brown mounds are formed where these ant colonies meet each other, like mountains, separating the six ant colonies from each other.

And at the center of the junction of the six ant colonies, there is the highest mound, which is half a meter high. It can be said to be extremely conspicuous within the force field of consciousness, and it can simply support the sky. pillar.

At first glance, the area covered by the current consciousness force field does indeed appear to be a somewhat magnificent sight of creation.

It's just that this magnificent creation is composed and evolved from countless ant corpses, but it is inevitably a bit tragic.

However, this tragedy and the continuous mountains that separated the ant colonies did not stop the fighting between the ant colonies.

On the contrary, as the size of the ant colony continues to grow, this kind of fighting becomes more brutal.

Almost every moment, countless ants were fighting and dying. Yuan Shi's brows jumped when he saw this.

If it weren't for the fact that the queen ant's egg-laying speed was not too slow and could fully support the death of a large number of ants, he would have thought about whether to stop it.

However, this large-scale killing of ant colonies also promotes the continuous progress, or evolution, of ants.

The speed is faster, the body is stronger, and the strength is also increasing.
After feeling the changes in the ants, Yuan Shina would not stop them anymore. He wished that these ants would evolve stronger so that he could gain stronger power after gathering his consciousness energy.

In fact, it's not just ordinary ants that are evolving, the queen ant is at the forefront of evolution.

At this time, the queen ant has developed an extremely obvious intelligence and spirituality, and can even regulate the ant species it produces to a certain extent.

A guard dedicated to protecting the queen ant, with a thick carapace and six long legs shining with cold light.

Worker ants, which specialize in serving young ants and queens, are more slender and dexterous, making it easier to handle various foods.

The worker ants who specialize in collecting and gathering food are even more powerful, several times stronger than they were originally, and can even lift hundreds of times their own food.

The body of the soldier ant, which specialized in fighting, became more and more powerful and began to undergo deformation. The front half of the body gradually became able to stand up straight, with only the back limbs supporting the body.

The two forelimbs in front of them began to become wider and thicker, and the front sides became extremely sharp, like two sharp steel knives.

And their mouthparts have also become sharp and powerful, and can easily tear and bite the bodies of ordinary ants.

Overall, it looks somewhat similar to a praying mantis.

However, they are not that big, have no wings, and are completely black.

But their combat power at this time is definitely more fierce than the mantis.

Especially their two blade arms, not to mention that they can cut through steel, but in the force field of consciousness, except for their blade arms and the tiles under the earth, there is absolutely nothing that can Blocking their slashes included the body carapace of numerous ants.

Moreover, with the passage of time, the fighting between the six ant colonies has escalated, and their evolution and update iteration speed are still accelerating.

Almost every batch of new larvae will undergo some changes and become stronger than the previous generation.

But a few days later, when Yuan Shi noticed them again, he could hardly recognize them as ants.

Each ant walks almost upright, with its feet on the ground and its tail to maintain balance. The four arms can be used to attack, carry food and other items.

In addition, the queen's spiritual wisdom has evolved again, and all ant colonies are under the command of the queen and perform their duties in an orderly manner.

Soldier ants fight on the front line, confronting each other, fighting each other, and even dividing into small groups to attack the other side's nest, in order to kill the other side's queen ant directly.

It's a pity that these soldier ant squads were all drowned in the ant army.

In the rear guarded by the soldier ants, a group of worker ants waved their four arms, working hard to build a castle for the queen ant, looking for food, ensuring material logistics for the soldier ants in front, etc., just like an orderly civilized society.

It's just that this society only exists because of one ant, that is the queen ant, and everything is to serve it.
