Pick up two small ant eggs with the tentacles, and then pick out one, and Systrom got a female ant egg again.
It was not Linda's eggs that Sisterm fiddled with, but the eggs he had laid by several queens in the Warren Plains.
Systrom's research on flying ants takes all of them to heart.
Because he was migrating to the abyss, Sisterm sent the four different types of queens he had caught to the semi-plane, and left them to Black for feeding.
It was not until recently that his ant people returned from the semiplane that the four queen ants were able to come to the abyss for him to continue research.
It’s a pity that the environment of the abyss is somewhat different from the main world. After these four ants arrived later, three died because of inconsistent water and soil within two days. Even the Druid’s [Healing Power] did not save the lives of these ants. .
As a result, of the four queens, only one survived.
Similarly, the ant subjects of Weststrom who did not enter the secondary pupation also showed symptoms of inadequacy, became depressed, and finally died.
However, after the second pupation of the queen Linda, the eggs produced generally have a good physique. Only a dozen of more than 400 adult ants died. After that, the ants returned to normal.
As for the remaining more than 500 ants that have completed the second pupation, they have not been affected by environmental changes.
In other words, the humid and warm climate at the abyss level makes the ants feel very comfortable. The ants quickly adapt to the environment here, and then they start to get busy.
Some worker ants help excavators to clean up the floating islands underground, while others go hunting and store food.
Sisterm didn't let the ants immediately attack the large prey, but hunted the very common mosquitoes, the tadpoles in the swamp and the pupated larvae in the territory of the meat ball.
Although the mosquitoes of the abyss are very aggressive, the ants are born with strong carapace. These mosquitoes attack the ants to bring themselves to the table.
The only thing that can threaten ants is the mosquitoes and beasts that are more than ten centimeters to 30 centimeters, but once such mosquitoes and beasts appear, soldiers and ant knights nearly half a meter high will rush forward.
If there are no soldier ant knights nearby, these worker ant knights about a dozen centimeters in size will also cooperate with each other to fight mosquitoes, insects and beasts.
Mosquitoes, insects, and beasts have only a slightly hard needle, and under the siege of several worker ant knights, they basically have no fighting ability.
Just like ordinary mosquitoes cannot beat ants, mosquitoes, insects and beasts are not a threat to ants, even though these mosquitoes and beasts are larger than worker ant riders.
...
Through these days of observation and statistics, Systrom found that of the more than 500 large ants and ant riders after the second pupation, about 50 have mastered special abilities.
In fact, when he was in the Warren Plains, Sisterm found a dozen second-pupated ant riders with special abilities.
But at that time, Systrom had been preparing to go to the abyss, so he did not pay too much attention to the ants' abilities.
After these days of detailed observations, Sisterm found that the abilities of the fifty ants were very close, basically related to the control of airflow.
Breeze out; release strong air currents; shoot wind bombs for bombardment; use air currents to float the body; control the wind to rotate and form a cyclone...
Ants have different ability to control airflow, but all of them are inseparable from airflow.
And through inquiring and communicating with these ants, Systrom also learned that the world sounds these ants heard during the second pupation seemed to be somewhat different from him, Shava, and Black.
It can be said that these ants did not really listen to the sound of the world, were not truly empowered by the will of the world, but awakened the blood given to them by the queen Linda.
In other words, after the second pupalization, Linda, the queen ant who still does not know what kind of ability she has mastered, actually gained the ability to manipulate airflow, that is, to manipulate wind.
All the secondary pupalization has not stimulated the ability of the ants in the body, in fact, it is all the ability of wind.
Although in this way, the ants will not have a variety of abilities, but in this way, Sisterm clearly knows that the ants have the wind.
By allowing ants that can use abilities to use abilities near the ants that cannot use abilities, the ants that can't master their internal abilities will gradually master this ability to control airflow.
In fact, in the past few days, there will be two or three second-pupated ants every day, so they gain this ability to control airflow.
But in fact, the ants gain these wind-related abilities basically without any obvious effect, and the airflow they control is generally weak, and they can't even use it to assist in combat.
Among the many ants, only one worker ant rider has a unique talent for manipulating airflow. It can float its body freely by manipulating airflow, and it can shoot compressed wind bombs that can explode.
Whether it is ability strength or control over ability, it is dozens of times that of other ants.
Systrom also gave this talented ant knight a name-Jet.
In terms of the level of ability to use, the jet is even more proficient than the original excavator.
It's just that this ability to manipulate the wind is far less practical than the ability of an excavator, and Systrom doesn't know what to do with the jet.
At present, the jet can only use its air cannon to beat mosquitoes outside.
...
After eating the harvested common ant eggs, Sisterm transferred the newly obtained female ant eggs to a relatively safe place in the room.
Because of the low intelligence and the fact that the queen has been imprisoned by Sisterm, the queen's mood has become a little confused.
If Systrom did not transfer the ant eggs, after a period of time, the queen would eat the ant eggs she produced.
After tying the feet of the queen ant with a string of plant fibers, Systrom took the snail Jace and left the stone building on the underground floating island.
Jace the snail who followed Sisterm also complimented: "Congratulations to your majesty for getting another special ant egg."
In fact, this snail doesn’t know why Sisterm collected these ant eggs until now, let alone what Sisterm wants to study flying ants. The stone passage inside the floating island began to move.
The crawling speed of this snail is too slow.
After these days of excavating the underground floating island, Sistrom has a better understanding of the appearance of the floating island and has moved his lair to this underground building.
The entire floating island is circular, and there is a huge blue crystal in the center of the floating island ~ EbookFREE.me~ is the one that failed to activate at the beginning.
There are many stone buildings on the surface of the floating island. Most of these buildings have been damaged and buried in soil, and the excavator cannot sort them in a short time.
However, after these days of excavation, excavators have found a lot of space inside the floating island.
It is precisely because of this that Systrom moved the lair to this underground floating island.
Except that it is inconvenient to get to the ground because it is more than a thousand meters away from the ground, Sisterm is satisfied with the large and square stone passage of the floating island.
And because of the magic candles from the demiplanes, these channels are already full of light and look very good...
