Chapter 77 Queen of Blades
Let’s talk about his current clan strength.
In his next two advancements, he was given 2 and 5 more [Emperor's Edict] quotas respectively.
This ability can grant part of the evolved power to his subordinates and increase their loyalty to him.
So he has a total of 8 opportunities to seal.
The first time he naturally gave it to his eldest wife Yiyi.
The latter two times were given to two cleverer ant queens that he had conquered at that time, and he named them Er'er and Sansan.
At Queen Yiyi's request, Ma Yi was forced to open a harem and bring them in.
In fact, this is a very common thing for the Zerg. It was just that Ma Yi couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart at first.
Whether it's ants, bees, spiders, praying mantises, etc., it's all the same.
In most insects, females are stronger than males, so after the male ants mate with the queen, the male ants will die.
After the drone mates with the queen bee, the drone also dies.
After a male spider mates with a female spider, the female spider will need more nutrients due to laying eggs. At this time, the male spider will also choose to sacrifice himself to be eaten by the female spider.
This happens to praying mantises too.
But in the final analysis, it still points to two issues.
Reproduce, and the strong come first!
For a simple insect society, there is not so much intrigue.
As long as you are strong enough and can make the tribe strong, then you are the king.
Perhaps this is also the essence of Ma Yi's [Royal Gene].
Ma Yi never imagined that he would be forced to get married when he was a human being, and that he would be forced to get married by his wife after being reborn as an ant!
Get a little wife!
Absolutely amazing!
However, the advantage of this is that the ant colony grows faster.
Ma Yi's own powerful genes, coupled with the genes of the queen ants that quickly evolved several times after opening the evolutionary path, one can imagine how powerful the ants born are.
Each of the specialized soldier ants is a giant boy with a body length of 20 to 25 cm, and its front jaws are powerful enough to crush rocks.
Even ordinary soldier ants are 10cm long, which is really scary.
But in this way, food consumption will be greatly increased.
For this reason, Ma Yi had to send out troops again, sweeping across the entire nearby forest, and collected more than twenty queen ants, and by the way, they also collected their original worker ants.
The task of these worker ants is also simple, which is to cooperate with the soldier ants to obtain food and carry back the prey killed by the soldier ants.
A subsequent evolution gave him five more imperial seals.
He selected five more ant queens to be sealed.
But this time, there were some small surprises.
Among the five queens, one evolved in another direction.
After she evolved, she did not enhance her reproductive ability. Instead, she eliminated this ability!
But this gave her a powerful ability to unite the army.
Moreover, the classification of the group has also changed from "queen ants" to "general ants".
General means to lead the army.
Like Ma Yi, she has a relatively strong individual combat power, and can also have a certain amplification effect on the army soldiers under her command.
The most important thing is that she retains the unique wisdom of the queen ant!
The queen ant is the brains of the entire ant colony and is responsible for wisdom.
Soldier ants and worker ants actually don't have much self-awareness.
So before that, Ma Yi had to do many things personally, or could only give some simple instructions.
After connecting her to the "local area network" established by the queen ants, she can communicate in real time.
This gave Ma Yi the illusion that he was communicating and cooperating with his comrades through radio when he was still a human.
For this unexpected joy, Ma Yi named her "Blade", hoping that like Blade, she could lead the soldier ants to overcome obstacles and strengthen the tribe!
And the blade lives up to expectations.
Her first battle was to cooperate with Ma Yi to capture the mutated rock python.
As Ma Yi and his ants grew larger and larger, they were no longer suitable to stay underground.
So, he took the ant colony to dig into the nearby mountain, using solid rocks to build a huge "ant nest in the mountain."
Ants are indeed born master builders.
Ant nests with complex structures and multiple functions can be created under relatively soft ground, let alone in mountains based on rocks.
The solid rock was also shattered under the powerful front jaws of the soldier ants and specialized soldier ants.
Soon, they dug a cave.
However, this behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of another of the three jungle tyrants.
That is the mutant rock python.
This guy also lives in a cave in this mountainous area. He is very dissatisfied with the neighbors who work day and night and chew the rocks loudly.
So they attacked Ma Yi's tribe several times.
Fortunately, the entrance to their cave was relatively narrow and the mutated rock python could not enter. It only lost some soldier ants and worker ants.
But the two sides also forged a grudge.
And this guy is still high in protein, hehehe!
Ma Yi originally planned to evolve again and find trouble with the mutated rock python.
However, the appearance of the blade made him change his mind.
So, Ma Yi took the initiative and led a large group of specialized soldier ants to fight against the mutated rock python.
The mutated rock python refused to accept it at first, but after being injected with violent poison several times by Ma Yi, it immediately gave up.
So, it started to run away like crazy.
But his escape route was actually planned in advance by Ma Yi, who even spent several days chewing off some of the wood on the route by the roots.
If used against people, this kind of trap is so obvious that even a three-year-old child can see it.
But against the wild beasts.
As expected.
The mutated rock python, which had no IQ, subconsciously fled along a relatively wide road in panic.
Ma Yi had already asked the blade to lead the ant army in advance to bite open a few trees. He only waited for an order to quickly bite off the remaining parts.
With the specialized bite force of the front jaws of soldier ants, this is completely possible.
In the end, the dominant overlord in the jungle was reduced to a skeleton.
——
It's night, the moon and stars are sparse.
In a cave, Ma Yi's huge body lay quietly.
The queen ant Yiyi lay beside him, her tentacles swaying gently, and her smart eyes revealed her worry for her husband.
In the passage outside the room, the evolved queens such as Er'er and Sansan were also looking forward to it.
Outside the cave, General Ant Blade methodically arranged specialized soldier ants and soldier ants to set up defenses in various locations.
Although their ant colony has now become the most powerful existence in the jungle, Blade has always been cautious.
Today is the most important moment for her king, and she must protect him!
In the cave, Ma Yi opened his panel, looked at the 100 evolution points on it, and clicked on it.
"Start evolving!"
