Chapter 117 Giant ants with an alternative respiratory system?

In an ant colony, if the queen cannot give orders, it will lead to chaos in the ant colony. When the ant colony is in chaos.

Some ant colonies will drive away the queen, and some will even kill the queen, and then select a new queen.

Generally speaking, when a queen lays eggs, it will leave various eggs.

When an ant colony loses its queen, the remaining ants will select the fertilized eggs and cultivate male and female ants.

Then one of the female ants is selected as the queen.

In fact, the ants that often come out to carry things and find food are worker ants, and the worker ants themselves are female ants, but these worker ants are small and have no reproductive ability. Although they are female ants, it is impossible for worker ants to become queens.

If you want to become a queen, you can only cultivate it again.

Of course, these are the habits of ants.

Chen Mu looked at the marching lion in front of him.

This marching lion combines the genes of lions and marching ants, but as it seems now, it still thinks of itself as a lion.

Is the giant ant born by this thing a lion or an ant?

Chen Mu looked at the huge army of thousands of giant ants in front of him.

Ants usually lay eggs, and after the eggs hatch, ant larvae come out. Ant larvae have no ability to take care of themselves. They are white and fat, without legs, and can only be fed by other ants.

Later, they become pupae and then break out of cocoons to become real ants.

And this new creature in front of him directly ignored these steps. After coming out of the egg, it already has the ability to take care of itself.

From this point of view, they are completely different from lions and marching ants.

Chen Mu looked back at the marching lion beside him.

Next to the marching lion, there are six giant ants that are obviously larger than others standing on the left and right of the marching lion.

It seems that they are protecting the marching lion as the queen ant.

"Soldier ants?" Chen Mu muttered.

There is a clear division of labor within the ant colony.

Among them are worker ants, who are responsible for finding and carrying food.

After the worker ants, there are soldier ants.

Soldier ants are responsible for protecting the nest. They have no ability to eat and can only be fed by worker ants. Their daily routine is to protect eggs, larvae, and queen ants.

From the outside, all you can see of these soldier ants is that they are in a daze.

With these soldier ants protecting this marching lion, it doesn't matter.

Chen Mu flapped his wings and flew up.

Flying into the air, he looked at the giant ants below.

Some of these worker ants scattered, probably looking for food in a scattered manner.

This is indeed much faster.

Chen Mu wanted to know why these giant ants could survive for so long even though they looked like ants.

So, he found a giant ant that was far away and pounced on it.

The claws fell.

Directly crushed the giant ant to death.

After crushing it to death, Chen Mu saw the situation inside the giant ant, and took a look.

Chen Mu was stunned.

"This is..."

Generally, insects breathe through valves and trachea that are densely distributed throughout their bodies, so there is no such thing as lungs in insects.

But when Chen Mu crushed the insect in front of him.

He saw the organs in the body of this giant ant.

In the body of this giant ant, you can see scarlet blood and two lungs.

In an instant, Chen Mu understood.

"No wonder."

Because of the unique respiratory system of insects, when they are too large, they will die of lack of oxygen due to inadaptability to the environment.

But these giant ants in front of them have the lung respiratory system of mammals!

Therefore, even if they are huge, they can get enough oxygen. With enough oxygen, they can move freely.

"Swallow." Chen Mu swallowed the giant ant.

The system did not make any sound. Hearing this, Chen Mu said: "System, I want to know how much evolutionary energy this thing has brought me."

"The target just swallowed has obtained 0.7 evolutionary energy." The mechanical voice of the system came.

Hearing this, Chen Mu's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "0.7... This is a bit more than a lion."

Previously, the average evolutionary energy of a lion was only about 0.5. This thing looks like an ant, but because of its size, it is judged to be a creature more advanced than a lion.

This is what Chen Mu cares about most, whether this giant ant can provide him with enough evolutionary energy.

Now it seems that it can be done.

Next, just let them get enough food, and then let the marching lion continue to lay eggs.

"These giant ants look exactly like ants, but in fact they still have lion genes in their bodies. They seem to be able to see my appearance clearly, and I guess they inherited the vision of lions." Chen Mu muttered: "Now it seems that the genes of marching lions are not stable, which is why they give birth to such a completely different creature. It seems that we have to change the name."

"This thing looks like an ant, and its habits are similar to ants, but it has lion genes in its body, so it is called, lion ant..., lion ant beast."

"This name is not bad." Chen Mu muttered.

Time passed day by day.

The number of lion anteaters increased, and the lion anteaters that hatched from the eggs grew bigger day by day.

When they encountered other creatures, they would pounce on them directly, whether they encountered hyenas, wild dogs, lions or elephants.

Basically, once they pounce on them, their huge jaws can tear the animals to pieces.

But as time goes by.

Almost all the animals nearby are eaten by the lion ant beast group.

Gradually, some lion ant beasts starve to death because they are too hungry.

These lion ant beasts do not eat their companions, but if they do not eat their companions, more and more lion ant beasts will die of starvation.

Chen Mu frowned as he looked at the lion ant beasts that died of hunger in front of him.

"This won't work. If we continue like this, this group of lion ant beasts will probably die before they develop. There is too little food in Africa. It seems that the lion ant beasts have failed." Chen Mu directly opened his swallowing ability and pounced into the group of lion ant beasts.

"Swallow."

One by one, the lion ant beasts were swallowed by Chen Mu and converted into Chen Mu's evolutionary energy.

Chen Mu felt like harvesting vegetables.

After cultivating the lion ant beast group for so long, it was finally time to harvest.

However, Chen Mu's goal was to have endless lion ant beasts so that he could obtain endless evolutionary energy, but now it is obviously not up to expectations.

I can only swallow them all first.

After swallowing all the lion ant beasts, Chen Mu looked at the marching lion in front of him.

The marching lion's belly was still very big, and it was lying on the ground.

Although it was not dead, its eyes were only gray.

It must be very desperate after being completely turned into a production tool.

Chen Mu said: "I will help you get rid of it."

Chen Mu's body turned into a marching ant, touched the marching lion, and said: "Evolution by predation."

The marching lion was swallowed by Chen Mu.

Chen Mu's body turned into a marching lion. Of course, this is a marching lion that is not pregnant yet, and its body looks like a lioness.

Chen Mu turned back into a griffin, flapped his wings and flew up.

"The experiment of the lion ant beast failed. It seems that it is not so easy to obtain endless evolutionary energy. I have to think of a new way."
