Giant Ant Queen (3)
[Kiik!]
[Kie eh!]
A group of giant ants.
A colony of monsters that once resided in the depths of the basement level, came up to the ground and covered the outside in black.
The scale was not one or two, but hundreds.
They were busily moving toward the only highland in the area, Dolsan.
And what stood at the back of the colony was a singular individual with an exceptionally larger belly than the others.
It was the queen body of Giant Ants, the mother of their group called the Queen.
To them, water was rat poison.
Perhaps all insects in the world are like that, but especially the ones.
I can’t swim, and that doesn’t mean that my heavy body floats on the water.
Because I’ve lived underground all my life, I wasn’t familiar enough to say that this water was really unfamiliar.
Of course, they were also part of life.
Water was an essential element. So I drank water to satisfy my thirst.
It was only that the amount was abnormally small compared to other life forms.
From birth to death, it was only about drinking the minimum amount of water necessary to maintain life for a lifetime.
Anyway, they weren’t that friendly with water, so what’s their current condition?
I could really say it was the worst.
[Kiik.]
Multiple. Multiple.
One of the ants that were climbing the high ground collapsed without power.
Of course, the guy’s breath was thin. The state of the body moving rapidly up and down with the sound of breathing proved it.
The fallen guy’s antennae were limp and limp.
I was alive, but I couldn’t move.
It’s because they didn’t even have the minimum amount of energy to maintain vital activity.
I already had nowhere to back down.
There were not one or two objects that had already been completely submerged in the water and died from being submerged.
The surroundings were already full of submerged ant carcasses.
The situation is urgent.
Amidst this situation, the group had already reached their limits.
[Kiii-.]
Queen of Giant Ants.
She was nervous.
The situation is getting more and more urgent.
For some reason, the children sent for reconnaissance do not return.
No, on the contrary, I felt that my consciousness was being cut off more and more.
Because of this, she was hesitant to climb the stony mountain.
Beyond this, above this, there was something that had killed her children.
The queen body had one of two options left.
Would you like to remain in the lowlands facing the pouring rain? If that’s not the case, will she climb the top of the stone mountain and face a corner where she can somehow shelter from the rain?
However, the former option meant death for them, as insects.
This is because these guys, similar in constitution to reptiles, have blood and flesh, but do not have the homeostasis ability to maintain their own temperature.
[Kiii-.]
Queen Che raised her weak eyes and surveyed her surroundings.
Even those many children, now there are only a few left.
At most, there are about a hundred of them.
Even before the start of this rainy season, she had a colony of ants that thrived within this forest.
There were well over a hundred of them, and they were living a very worry-free life.
Ecosystems are always cruel.
Even simply surviving is infinitely difficult and difficult.
It is even more difficult to survive in the middle of the forest where all kinds of predators exist.
* * * *
A group of 100 ants arrived.
It wasn’t long after that.
Winter opened his mouth at the appearance of the vast number of ants.
From noble mtl dot com
‘What, what is it? Are those all ants?’
It is a magnificent sight.
It felt as if my field of vision was full.
The number of ants was absurdly large, to the point where you could hear the cluttered sound of ants moving up the stone mountain.
Wouldn’t it be the winter alone that was embarrassing?
Only this time, even the other werewolves were expressing strong hostility towards the group of Giant Ants climbing up the stone mountain.
[Kurrureu!]
They transformed into beasts at once through beast transformation, and prepared themselves for battle.
As they approach, dyeing the surroundings black,
Starting with her mother Yuhwarin, Soyul and other werewolves, of course. Even Misoa, Eve, and Rubris, who were still weak, showed hostility.
Werewolves with their long nails pulled out like blades.
[Kiik!]
[Kieack!]
The Giant Ants finally reached the middle of the stone mountain.
As if confronting such werewolves, the opposite sides stood face to face.
The ants were constantly shaking their antennae.
Some even crackled their thick jaws as if threatening them.
It was clear that the airflow in the atmosphere was never good.
[Kurrureu!]
The werewolves were wary of the approach of the ants that reached the size of the colony that appeared.
On the contrary, the Giant Ants were staring at each other without avoiding the hostile werewolves with their sharp edges.
Instantaneous.
From the point of view of Winter, it was a situation that seemed to happen no matter what happened right away.
‘Seo, is there going to be a fight? Here?’
It’s dangerous this time.
The winter that intuited that, fell behind.
Of course, he wasn’t the only one.
“Aww?”
“Miu Miu!”
This is because the other werewolves behind them pushed the struggling Yui and Yumi to the back as if to protect them.
‘Huh?’
In the meantime.
Suddenly, he sensed a strange feeling and raised his head.
I could feel that a creature with exceptionally high mana was mixed in the rear.
Winter, now on the path to growth, could feel not only his own magical power, but also the mana of other beings.
‘There is an ant with a lot of mana behind it.’
Noticing that, his eyes passed the Giant Ants in the front row.
I was thrust into an exceptionally large being at the far back.
‘What?’
The snow of the winter that discovered its existence soon grew larger.
‘I can’t believe that?’
A being with an exceptionally bloated stomach.
At first glance, it was not a giant ant that had an ordinary appearance.
It was said to be much larger, bloated, and above all, the size of its stomach was several times the size of its head or torso.
‘Queen! It’s a queen!’
Winter noticed that it was the queen body, the leader of a group of giant ants.
I’ve seen it sometime.
Since Giant Ants are common enough to be known to the general public in their own way, he was able to distinguish the Queen’s appearance to some extent.
As the world changes, the cultural industry is bound to change accordingly.
Following the natural flow of change, there was a documentary channel targeting monsters and dungeons among the pros where Winter lived.
The guy Winter found had exactly the look that appeared on the TV show.
There are several groups of Giant Ants within a single species.
Guys have grown up, the direction of development, or ‘
But mostly.
As long as they belong to the same sect, most of them were on the same side in terms of their nature.
‘I heard that in the case of very old individuals, their stomachs are so bloated that they cannot even move. But the fact that I haven’t entered that stage yet means that I’m much younger than that.’
When you get older, your stomach swells and gets bigger.
The weight also tended to increase.
Finally.
When the weight increases to the point that it is no longer manageable with the thin and slender legs of insectoids, the Queen of Giant Ants feeds only from the workers in the deepest part of the crypt and repeats childbirth to increase the size of the herd. Will do
That was the life of the Queen of Giant Ants that Winter knew.
However, this guy was a relatively small axis among them.
In one word, it meant that it was a rather young individual.
[Kurrureu!]
Leader Yuhwarin.
She glared at the colony of ants that appeared at the forefront of the group and let out a ferocious killing blow.
That was a warning.
Get out of here.
The thick magical reverberation of the emotions she shed spread through the air like incense on the wind and spread throughout the group of giant ants.
It’s like a wildfire is spreading.
The mana, shimmering in deep blue light, spread along the wind.
Werewolves don’t kill casually.
As needed, or depending on the situation, I only killed the minimum limit within the possible specifications.
Especially if it included the queen of ants.
Because they are in charge of their own axis in the forest.
It was a dangerous thing to avoid unconditionally.
As long as they didn’t attack first, there was no reason for a group of werewolves to kill unnecessarily either.
