Chapter 29 Different Evolutionary Directions

These new ants have strange shapes, some of them look like mantises. They are almost the same as the previous four-armed ants, but they are smaller, and they are also only about one-tenth of the size of ordinary ants.

But it is much more powerful, as if it is made of steel.

Others are even smaller, like thin lines, without other limbs. They often parasitize other ants. Once they come into contact with the enemy, they will parasitize and control them.

There are also some ants with wings that can fly in the sky. They are not normal male and female ants, but fighting soldier ants with wings.

In addition, there are also huge ants, which have completely lost their ant appearance, just like a pitch-black bug.

However, their entire body is protected by thick carapace, leaving no gaps. There is a pair of large pliers on the front end that can instantly pinch off any ants blocking the way.

Their size is even three to four centimeters long, and there are two more legs underneath them to support their huge bodies. This makes them crawl very fast even though they are huge.

Coupled with the powerful strength brought by its huge size, this is simply a giant tank for ordinary ants.

If they move, there is basically nothing that can stop them.

It can be said that the ant colonies in the south at this time can no longer be called ant colonies, but should be called "insects".

It's just that this Zerg, no matter its size or the degree of evolution of different species, is much worse than the real Zerg.

Moreover, because the queen ant (queen ant) ​​in the south has increased in size, the ant eggs (insect eggs) have actually shrunk.

Today's southern ant queens (queen ants) no longer lay hundreds of eggs a day, but thousands or thousands of eggs at a time, and there are hundreds of thousands of eggs a day.

Although it is not as fast as the Oriental Ant Colony, the egg-laying speed of thousands of queen ants, it is still extremely huge.

And she is just a queen ant (Queen of Insects). If she also breeds more queens (Queens of Insects), then the ant colony in the east will really not be as good as the new Zerg in the south.

This left Yuan Shi speechless. Why do you always develop in quantity?
But this is of great benefit to him.

Because, in addition to being smaller and more powerful, the new Zerg from the South also have a shorter life cycle.

Less than an hour after the ant eggs (worm eggs) are laid, they will hatch one after another.

Then within half an hour, they will form cocoons and pupate again, hatch different species separately, and then emerge from the cocoons in more than 20 minutes, which is extremely fast.

After they reach adulthood, they can only exist for one day at most before entering the end of their lives.

As a result, wouldn't Yuan Shi's speed of acquiring consciousness energy be greatly increased?It's good for him of course.

And after these Zergs reached the end of their lives, those in the battlefield would desperately charge forward to die with the enemy.

The Zerg in the rear will return to the Queen Ant (Queen of the Insects) and become her food. They will contribute to the Zerg until their death.

At the beginning, Yuan Shi was extremely shocked. He had never heard that the queen ant would devour the ants?
I am afraid that any other creature will rarely use other individuals of its own group as food when there is sufficient food, right?
However, after Yuan Shi looked through the collective consciousness, he put aside this shock.

Because although ordinary Zerg have some soul consciousness of their own, they have no independent spirituality at all. They are not independent living individuals at all. They can only be regarded as auxiliary tools of the Queen of Zerg.

Looking at the new-born Zerg, they rushed outwards immediately after their birth. It was a wave of Zerg, flooding everything in an instant.

All the old ants in the territory were submerged, killed and devoured by them, or they were turned into food for the queen.

As for this, the Queen Ant never refuses anyone who comes, devouring them one by one, turning them into their own nutritional energy, and turning them into food for their offspring.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shi was speechless. This Zerg was so ferocious. It was almost the same as the legendary Zerg.

There is no fear, no pity, or any emotion, no self-awareness, only instinctive follow-up to the Insect Queen's orders.

After these Zerg rushed into the battlefield, they immediately caused great impact and casualties to the ant colonies that interfaced with them.

Facing the completely unfamiliar Zerg who are not afraid of life and death, they do not have many effective defense methods at all. They can only rely on larger numbers and accumulation to block their progress, and sometimes they even continue to retreat. Constantly losing territory.

Fortunately, the Eastern Ant Colony has too many of them. Even if they face a strange Zerg, they can still be stopped by their sheer numbers.

The ant colonies in the west were much more miserable. Almost instantly, a large number of soldier ants died and a large area of ​​territory was lost.

But at this moment, where the queen ant was at the rear of the western ant colony, a faint spiritual light that only Yuan Shi could see suddenly rose.

Immediately afterwards, this faint spiritual light connected all the ants in the ant colony.

And after that, that faint spiritual light spread instantly along the ants in the entire ant colony, covering the entire ant colony in an instant.

In an instant, the originally faint aura suddenly became strong and turned into a shock wave, spreading around and directly covering all the battlefields around the territory.

In an instant, all the Zerg that attacked the Western Ant Colony, as well as other ant colony soldiers, froze on the spot and stopped moving, and were then easily killed by the Western Ant Colony soldiers.

Even the Zerg were even worse. The moment the spiritual light enveloped them, it dispersed their conscious space. Their already extremely weak soul consciousness caused them to lose all their ability to act and react.

Well, that means becoming a vegetative (worm)!
Even if they are not killed by the soldiers of the Western Ant Colony, they can only lie there stupidly, waiting for their final death.

Looking at the queen ant colonies that evolved in different directions in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest, Yuan Shi couldn't help but sigh.
When the shackles of genes are broken and it becomes more susceptible to the influence of spiritual will, the evolution of life is really strange.

Although they were originally from the same race, they embarked on completely different evolutionary paths, and their bodies underwent completely different changes.

Ant-Man, Zerg, the psychic abilities of the western ant colony, and the eastern ant colony seem to be the same, but in fact they are not the same psychic link.
