Chapter 255 Feeding the Gold-eating Ants

Qin Yu saw that the six-eyed black snake was preying on ghost beasts, and suddenly felt that it would be too wasteful for the six-eyed black snake to eat all of the food.

So he asked with his spiritual sense: "Yu, can I release the gold-eating ants and let them hunt by themselves?"

"Yes, but before the gold-eating ants grow wings, their crawling speed is very slow, and it will take a long time to go out to hunt for food." Ji Yuanyanlong replied.

Qin Yu thought for a while. Although there are many gold-eating ants in the spirit insect tube, in fact the main body is the gold-eating ant queen.

The stronger the gold-eating ants queen is, the stronger the gold-eating ants will be. It seems useless to let worker ants prey on them.

"Can't the queen of gold-eating ants be released to hunt for food?"

"Of course not, the gold-eating ant queen is very fragile. Although you have recognized the master, but you don't use the insect control technique, if you let the gold-eating ant queen out, if you are caught by other insects, you will be kept in captivity." Ji Yuan Yan Long replied.

"Since the gold-eating ants can't go out to hunt for queens, then it's useless for worker ants to hunt. No matter how well a single worker ants eat, it can't make the gold-eating ants colony stronger." Qin Yu wondered.

"You don't understand this. Gold-eating ants go out to hunt, and when they come back, they will spit out food essence to feed to the gold-eating ants queen. Sometimes, if there is no food for a long time, the gold-eating queen will eat the worker ants." Ji Yuanyan Long replied.

Qin Yu understood as soon as he heard it. No wonder when he first picked up this spirit insect tube, there was only a gold-eating ant queen in the spirit insect tube, and there were no worker ants. It must have been a long time since the gold-eating queen ants had already eaten the worker ants. Empty.

I don't know how many worker ants there were at the beginning, and they were able to keep this gold-eating ant queen alive for so many years.

As for whether the gold-eating ants will not come back after the gold-eating ants are released.

Qin Yu is not worried about this at all. For gold-eating ants, all gold-eating ants can be regarded as a life, and only the gold-eating queen is the main body. In order to keep the queen alive, worker ants are willing to be eaten, so in There is no betrayal among gold-eating ants.

So, Qin Yu went to a corner where no one was around, took out the spirit worm tube, opened the lid and poured it on the ground, throwing out all the worker ants, leaving only the gold-eating queen ants in the spirit worm tube, then closed the lid.

After the gold-eating ants on the ground detected the surrounding environment with their tentacles, they immediately merged into a straight line and crawled towards the herd of ghost beasts.

After releasing the gold-eating ants, Qin Yu walked back to the team of merchant martial artists.

It didn't take long for the commotion in the Nether beast herd to become more and more intense.

The people in the business thought that the predation of the six-eyed black snake made these ghost beasts feel terrified, but Qin Yu really knew that the commotion in the distance was caused by the six-eyed black snake, and those nearby were scurrying and howling wildly, and finally fell down. The ghost beast that died on the ground was attacked by gold-eating ants.

If anyone dared to look closer, they would definitely be able to see gold-eating ants the size of soybeans crawling all over the body of the dead ghost beast.

Due to the appearance of the gold-eating ants, the ghost beasts did not siege the camp for a long time, and quickly dispersed.

This made the merchants feel a little strange. In the past, the ghost beasts would be besieged until dawn before dispersing.

In the middle of the night, Shang Bie asked the merchants' martial artists to divide into two shifts to watch the night, and the rest went back to rest.

Qin Yu woke up when the sky was getting brighter, and when he sat up, suddenly a large group of gold-eating ants crawled out of his clothes, and he didn't dare to move immediately.

Last night, Qin Yu saw with his own eyes a Nether Beast being gnawed by gold-eating ants until there was no bone left. If it was bitten, it would be so sour.

Qin Yu hastily and carefully took out the spirit insect tube from his bosom.

At this time, the spirit insect tube was covered with gold-eating ants, each of which ate to the point of applauding their stomachs, and their size also increased a lot, with the upper jaw showing a dark red color.

You must know that among creatures, red represents danger, and the red upper jaws of these gold-eating ants represent their fearfulness in the biological world.

Qin Yu was worried that others would become suspicious when they saw so many ants, so he immediately opened the spirit insect tube.

The gold-eating ants neatly formed a straight line and crawled back into the spirit insect tube.

After all the gold-eating ants had crawled back into the spirit insect tube, Qin Yu closed the lid, picked it up and brought it close to his eyes, observing the situation inside through the transparent gem on the lid.

I saw gold-eating ants lined up one by one, coming to the queen gold-eating ants in turn, spitting out a little food essence to feed the queen gold-eating ants.

The gold-eating queen ants lay eggs while devouring the food essence fed by the worker ants, laying them neatly along the wall of the tube. Ant eggs the size of rice grains are neatly glued together, sticking to the wall of the tube, laying eggs in circles. go down.

Soon, the inner wall of the spirit insect tube was full of ant eggs.

Moreover, the size of these ant eggs is obviously larger than the previous ones, and there is a hint of dark red in the milky white ant eggs.

After dawn, Shang Qingqiu led the team to look for the Emperor Blood Flower again.

The day before, I walked west for half a day and turned back.

Today is to go north, all the way to find the past.

While the team was marching, Shang Bieli talked with his cousin, hoping that he could recall more things and help everyone find the Emperor Blood Flower quickly.

However, I don't know if it's been too long, the businessman's cousin has forgotten what happened at the beginning, or the emperor blood flower never appeared, it was just the hallucination of the businessman's uncle before his death.

In short, the merchant team searched northward for a day, but still did not find the Emperor Blood Flower.

Before nightfall, the team returned to the foot of Lion Mountain.

When the team was looking for the Emperor's Blood Flower, Qin Yu stayed in the carriage to observe the gold-eating ants.

This time, the gold-eating queen did not lick the eggs, but let the eggs hatch on their own.

By evening, more than half of the ant eggs had hatched into gold-eating ants, each of which was larger than the original gold-eating ants and looked stronger.

The gold-eating ants lay quietly on the wall of the cylinder, and only the tentacles that moved occasionally proved that they were alive.

Qin Yu suddenly hoped that the night would come soon so that the gold-eating ants could go out to hunt.

However, merchant martial artists don't think so, they hate the night, and no one knows what will happen the next night.

After dark.

The merchant martial artist lit all the torches and placed them around the camp, illuminating the entire camp brightly.

The Nether Beast arrived as promised, still surrounded by darkness, as if waiting for the light to disappear.

After Qin Yu discovered the ghost beast appeared, he opened the spirit insect tube and let the gold-eating ants out.

This time, there were more gold-eating ants, and they still gathered in a straight line and crawled out of the camp, slowly crawling towards the herd of ghost beasts.

Since the gold-eating ants are very small, occasionally merchant martial artists will not care if they see them.

There was even a merchant martial artist who walked past the carriage and stepped on a colony of gold-eating ants crawling out in a straight line.

Qin Yu's heart tightened immediately, worried that the gold-eating ants would be trampled to death.

But when the merchant martial artist raised his legs and walked over, the gold-eating ants that had been stepped into the mud climbed up again without any injuries.

Seeing that the gold-eating ants were fine, Qin Yu didn't feel relieved, and his heart tightened again.

Because a few gold-eating ants crawled onto the shoe of the merchant martial artist.

If this bites down in one bite, it might kill someone.

Qin Yu quickly grabbed a clod of mud and popped it to shake off the gold-eating ants on the merchant's martial artist's shoes.

The merchant martial artist felt that his foot had been slapped, turned his head to look, saw that it was Qin Yu, nodded and smiled, and walked away.
