"Rustle and rustle..."

It seemed the attack was over; the bullet ants dragged the bee corpses and crawled in one direction.

Lin Xiao glanced at the bees that had suffered heavy losses, and after thinking for a moment, followed the bullet ants.

Perhaps these bullet ants sensed that Lin Xiao was not someone to be trifled with, or perhaps the queen ant did not order an attack on Lin Xiao, or perhaps for some other reason, these bullets did not attack Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao followed the swarm of bullet ants to a location that looked increasingly familiar to him.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao clapped his hands: "Isn't this the first location I marked?"

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then cast a shield around his body and jumped down from the tree trunk.

He arrived at the ravine he had carved with his sword energy, and saw that the bullet ants had crawled out of it.

The bullet ants around him ignored Lin Xiao's arrival and instead made way for him.

This left Lin Xiao both puzzled and surprised.

Lin Xiao peered into the edge of the ravine and discovered that it seemed to be a hidden world inside.

Lin Xiao measured the width and depth of the ravine and found that he could go down and explore it.

Moreover, he became curious as to why the ravine had not healed.

After all, in the past, no matter who caused damage on the ground, those marks would heal at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Xiao was ready and jumped directly off the ground.

After Lin Xiao jumped down, his eyes had just adjusted to the darkness below when he looked up and saw hundreds of glowing eyes staring at him.

Although Lin Xiao had nothing to fear with his current strength, this situation still gave him a fright.

Lin Xiao was even ready to attack, but those hundreds of eyes only glanced at Lin Xiao before returning to their own business.

Seeing that the bullet ants did not attack him, Lin Xiao gradually withdrew his movements.

He observed the winding underground passages for a while, finally identified one, and stepped inside.

These tunnels were dug very high, just high enough for Lin Xiao to stand up and walk.

Lin Xiao slowly walked forward, occasionally using the Instant Step to cross some obstacles.

Fortunately, there are no enemies outside now. As for those night boss creatures, they only appear when night falls.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiao saw the end of the passage.

Lin Xiao walked over and immediately saw an empty space and a huge figure.

"Whoa..."

Lin Xiao gasped in surprise as he saw an ant that was over ten meters tall and had a huge abdomen.

"It looks like it's the queen of the bullet ants..."

Lin Xiao also saw that a steady stream of bullet ants were carrying the dead bees to the queen ant's side, as if the queen ant was absorbing the nutrients from the bees.

Suddenly, the pair of antennae on the queen ant's head twitched slightly, and then Lin Xiao saw the giant queen ant turn its head.

Seeing the Queen Ant's actions, Lin Xiao didn't show anything on the surface, but he was still slightly wary inside.

However, Lin Xiao was protected by a shield, so the bullet ants couldn't hurt him.

After waiting for a long time without seeing any other bullet ants attacking him, Lin Xiao raised his head and took a closer look at the queen ant.

Finally, Lin Xiao noticed something was wrong.

He noticed that the queen ant seemed a bit listless.

Lin Xiao had already reached the queen ant's side and could touch it with just a reach of his hand, but the queen ant still did not make any move.

Under the system's investigation, this queen ant was also a first-tier creature, so Lin Xiao raised his hand and used his talent, Deconstruction, on the queen ant.

In just over ten minutes, some basic information about the queen ant was deciphered.

"Bullet Ant Queen, Tier 1, Upper Limit Break, Energy Insufficient"

The queen of the bullet ants is currently in a critical period of breaking through from the first tier to the second tier, so the primary goal of these bullet ants is to help the queen break through her limits.

However, apart from the bees that Lin Xiao had forgotten, there are no other creatures left in the Misty Forest now.

This resulted in insufficient food and energy for the queen ant, causing her to appear somewhat listless.

Lin Xiao glanced at the deconstructed and analyzed queen ant abilities.

Reproduction: Under sufficient energy conditions, an ant can lay hundreds of eggs per day.

"Swarm domination: Controlling the entire ant colony through pheromones ensures the colony will never betray you."

'Genetic Modulation: Can absorb genes from other organisms, thus creating stronger soldier ants (unawakened)'

"Genetic modification can trigger awakening when the queen ant reaches the second stage; with sufficient energy, awakening is guaranteed."

Lin Xiao was interested in the queen ant's gene manipulation abilities, and he was also making plans for the future, that is, after the safe period ended.

If Lin Xiao's prediction is correct, after the safe period, their so-called safe house will become destructible.

In so-called survival games, the consequences of destroying a safe house can be unimaginable.

When Lin Xiao first saw the queen ant, he was prepared to buy the Spirit Control Eye sold by the spirit merchant to control the queen ant.

However, after seeing that the queen ant lacked the energy to break through her limits, Lin Xiao decided to change his approach slightly.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiao suddenly raised his hand and flipped it over, revealing a spiritual pill in his palm.

The moment Lin Xiao projected the elixir, the entire bullet ant swarm erupted in excitement.

A large number of bullet ants immediately rushed in from all directions and surrounded Lin Xiao. Even the queen ant turned her head and looked at the human beneath her.

But they only surrounded Lin Xiao and did not attack her randomly. Lin Xiao just stood there holding the elixir.

Lin Xiao raised his head and stared at the queen ant for a while, noticing that the queen ant's two antennae twitched slightly.

Then, Lin Xiao saw that the bullet ants left one by one, breaking the encirclement.

However, five bullet ants were still left on the field.

One of the bullet ants slowly stepped forward, walked up to Lin Xiao, and lowered its head slightly.

Lin Xiao raised his head, glanced at the ant queen, and then reached out and handed the elixir in his hand to the bullet ant.

The bullet ant extended its two front claws, took the elixir from Lin Xiao, turned around and crawled away, offering the elixir to the queen ant.
