SWNOVELXO Chapter 357
....................
If there were other options, Su Yunfei would not use a combat knife to mine.
After finally digging out a large piece of Huangling gold ore, Su Yunfei carefully checked it and picked up some gravel.
While picking up, he found that there were many round holes in the hole, and some golden brown ants suddenly crawled out of them.
Su Yunfei immediately understood that these ants lived in the rocks.
This ant was quite large, one centimeter long, and the color was similar to that of the Huangling gold ore.
After a closer look, this kind of ant contained the breath of Huangling gold, and it was obvious that it was feeding on this ore!
He looked at the Huangling gold ore he dug out again, and it was indeed drilled with holes.
Su Yunfei couldn't help but smile, and instantly came up with a plan.
He was too experienced in dealing with this kind of small creatures that live in groups.
Su Yunfei continued to dig the rocks nearby and finally found a fat queen ant!
Virus waiting.
Not long after.
The chubby queen ant, which was more than ten centimeters long, became his subordinate.
The order was transmitted to the queen ant through the virus, and then to other ants through the queen ant.
Soon, almost all the ants in this ant nest came out in droves to look for other gold spirit ores.
This ant nest was not very large. There were about 20,000 adult ants in total.
Su Yunfei continued to expand the size of the ant army.
This ant colony knew the information of other ant colonies around it, and soon they all sold it out.
Su Yunfei continued to search, and soon caught a few more chubby queen ants.
Soon, this area was full of busy golden ants.
No matter how they communicated, after finding the yellow spirit gold mine, they would cut out small pieces like gravel and carry them back.
These seemingly inconspicuous tiny creatures, when gathered together, would form a huge force...
Su Yunfei could sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor happily.
But the speed of collection was still a little slow.
Because the particles of yellow gold ore dug out by the ants were too small.
He needed to continue to expand this legion.
After thinking for a while, Su Yunfei decided to try to integrate some genetic material of the Zerg into the body of the queen ant.
After an unknown period of time, he finally succeeded in mastering this biological fusion technology!
Ants are originally a kind of insect. After the queen ant got the genes of the Zerg, it immediately began to evolve.
They ate a lot of things and eventually grew from ten centimeters to one meter long.
The originally fleshy and unprotected body was also covered with a thin layer of golden scales, and the legs and antennae became sharp, and the appearance was quite Zerg-like.
Su Yunfei fed them with stored monster corpses, energy stones and other things, and at the same time issued an order - lay eggs!
There were 10 Zerg queen ants, each of which chose a place and immediately began to order the worker ants to bring stones and gravel to build a nest.
Not long after, 10 earth-bag-shaped ant nests appeared.
The queen ants lay eggs inside--
It already has the genetic material of the Zerg, and has evolved to the point where it can reproduce without fertilization!
Time passes.
After an unknown amount of time, 4-5 cm long Zerg ants crawled out of the nest one after another!
Half of them evolved wings and flew out in all directions very quickly, looking for more Huangling gold mines.
During this process, the ant colonies that were sent out before did not give up looking for and infecting their own kind, and were also constantly expanding the ant army.
The evolved Zerg ants have greatly improved the efficiency of mining!
Su Yunfei himself did not stop mining, racing against time.
He hoped to get the Thor inheritance as soon as possible and then go out.
Of course, it would be even better if he could get the first place in the same period by the way.
In the sky, a red star hung there, and its position did not change at all.
Su Yunfei couldn't help but frown. He lost his sense of time here, and didn't know how long it had passed...
He still had to speed up.
Su Yunfei asked the system: "Now we can determine the information of Huangling Gold Mine, right?"
The formation and distribution of ore also follow certain rules.
He used the system directly as a metal detector.
Of course, it is also possible to rely on one's own mental power, but there will be unnecessary consumption.
It is better to save some energy and save it for future levels.
The system said: [The distribution pattern of Huangling Gold Ore is basically clear, and the mineral deposits within a range of 1,200 meters can be detected...]
Under the guidance of the system, the excavation work has been much smoother.
Su Yunfei kept looking for areas on the ground that were rich in minerals and close to each other, first looking for ant nests, and then catching the queen ant...
Up to now, the total number of ants he directly or indirectly controls has exceeded 1 billion!
Among them, onlyA small half of them are Zerg ants, but their digging ability is several times stronger than that of ordinary ants.
On the hot ground, ants are busy, holding small golden sand grains on their heads, returning to the position of the queen ant, and then starting the next transportation...
Beside the queen ant, the yellow spirit gold ore particles gradually piled up like a mountain.
But.
There are too many ants crawling everywhere on the ground, which is very abnormal.
Other people in this area gradually discovered this abnormality.
Some people didn't care, but others paid attention.
Even.
When they found that the "sand" carried by these ants was the yellow spirit gold ore they urgently needed, some people almost lit up with surprise.
Then they made different choices.
Some people followed the ants to know their destination;
Some people followed the ants to find their mining site.
There were also a few guys who didn't even let go of the tiny sand grains and directly robbed them!
...
In a cave somewhere in the mountains.
The big golden ants went in and out of it.
A lizard man with a tail roughly pulled open the boulder blocking the cave entrance, and at first glance saw a mound of earth more than one meter high, where the ants came in and out.
Next to the mound, there were a lot of yellow gold ore particles scattered around, piling up in a thick layer!
The lizard man immediately laughed strangely, bent down and stepped into the cave, quickly collecting these windfalls.
During the process, ants continued to attack the invader.
But even the Zerg ants, which are only 5 cm long, cannot be compared with the lizard man in terms of combat power.
Many ants were beaten to death, but the invader was not hurt at all.
Even the ant nest was broken open effortlessly, revealing a fat golden queen ant inside.
The lizard man stared at the queen ant, with a thoughtful look on his face...
...
Su Yunfei received a lot of alarms from the ants.
When he arrived at the scene.
He saw a dark blue tail swaying proudly outside the cave.
He grabbed the tail and forcibly pulled the creature out.
Then he saw that the cave was almost empty!
Even the queen ant was gone, and the ground was full of hard golden ant legs.
In addition, there was only an ant head left, with teeth marks on it...
