Chapter 222: Changes of the Purple-Armored Spirit-Devouring Ant

However, the Mirage Cloud Python crawled out of the pond, and the water on its body directly wet Zhou Daocheng's pants.

Zhou Daocheng shook his head helplessly, threw it off his legs, and then took some fresh blood and flesh from the storage bag to feed the Mirage Cloud Python as meat.

This little snake grew very fast. After only half a year, it had grown to a length of two meters, and its strength was close to the first-level middle-grade.

Conservatively estimated, its comprehensive strength now should be able to reach about the third level of Qi Refining.

Gnawing on the blood and flesh rich in spiritual energy, the little snake shook its head with effort and kept tearing the blood and flesh apart.

The blood and flesh of the second-level demon beast Black Eye Ghost Scale Snake is a very luxurious food for the little Mirage Cloud Python. If it is eaten for a long time, it will be of great help to improve its strength.

Without paying much attention to the Mirage Cloud Python that was eating, Zhou Daocheng walked into a cave covered by trees.

Now in the entire Spirit Beast Garden, there are only two kinds of spirit beasts living-Mirage Cloud Python and Purple Armor Devouring Spirit Ant.

This cave is the ant nest of the purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants.

As soon as you enter it, you can only feel a dim light until the luminous stone illuminates the surrounding environment, and you can see the situation clearly.

The ant nest is still made of spiritual fertile soil, but it can be clearly seen that there are already many purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants coming and going, and they have begun to work in the ant nest.

Although most of them are still only the first-grade lower grade, they at least have a complete system and can start to collect spiritual honey around to supply the development of the entire ant nest.

Now, he does not need to continue to supply spiritual honey, and can be completely self-sufficient, and even gradually produce spiritual honey.

Checking the number, it is found that there are more than 8,000 purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants in the entire ant nest. It will not take long for the number to exceed 10,000.

Among them, 90% are the first-grade lower grade, with relatively weak strength. They are mainly used to collect spiritual honey and are in work all their lives.

In addition, there are more than 200 first-grade middle-grade purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants.

Generally speaking, the role of the first-level middle-grade swallowing spirit ants is mostly to protect the first-level and first-level lower-grade ant colonies that go out to collect honey and ensure their safety.

However, there is no danger at all in Zhou Daocheng's territory now, so these first-level middle-grade ant colonies are also collecting spiritual honey.

And after a period of observation, Zhou Daocheng found that their way of collecting spiritual honey is very special.

It should be a new way of collecting honey developed based on the special environment of the fog valley.

However, this way of collecting honey is a bit ambiguous...

First of all, they usually collect honey at night, and they act in pairs.

Two purple-armored swallowing spirit ants will come together under the night, then rub their bodies against each other and keep shaking.

At first, when Zhou Daocheng saw this scene, his old face blushed, thinking that he had seen something extraordinary and was a little embarrassed.

But then he thought, hey, this situation is a bit wrong!

They are not queen ants, and they don't have the ability to mate. What kind of fun games are they playing here?

But after observing for a while, he discovered the secret!

The two purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants kept rubbing each other's hard shells on their backs, which kept raising the temperature of the shells.

This created a significant temperature difference with the low temperature of the foggy valley at night.

Next, they would slowly wait for the fog to condense on the back of the shells under the cover of night, forming small water droplets with spiritual energy.

Then, they would collect these spiritual water droplets from each other and bring them back to the ant nest to brew spiritual honey.

Using this method to collect and brew spiritual honey actually has great benefits.

First, the collection speed is faster, the quantity is larger, and it is inexhaustible, which can almost increase the efficiency by more than two or three times.

Secondly, the concentration of spiritual energy in the "Spirit Beast Garden" is very high, which can reach the level of the second-grade upper grade, so the spiritual water droplets obtained by this method are also of extraordinary quality.

Therefore, even the spiritual honey brewed by the first-grade lower-grade purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants can barely reach the first-grade middle grade.

This is definitely a pleasant surprise, and this brewing method is also very good for the development of the ant colony, which can quickly improve the strength of the ant colony and expand the tribe.

However, what surprised Zhou Daocheng the most was not just this peculiar way of making honey!

But how could this group of purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants, whose intelligence was not very high, come up with this method?

He also personally asked the queen ant, but judging from the consciousness transmitted back, this was not the method that the queen ant came up with.

Moreover, the queen ant itself is only responsible for reproducing offspring and sending ant colonies to find spiritual objects.

As for which method to use to collect spiritual honey, it is the work of the ant colony itself!

It is obvious that this method, which is extremely logical and requires extremely high intelligence to come up with, was thought up by the first-grade purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants themselves.

This discovery was enough to make Zhou Daocheng marvel at this.

This means that this group of purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants, which do not have much intelligence, have begun to breed spiritual intelligence after using the innate purple qi!

In order to explore this situation, Zhou Daocheng specifically found a first-grade purple qi spirit-swallowing ant of inferior quality and tried to use the spiritual secret method to explore their spiritual emotions.

Just a quick look and he found something unusual.

The originally extremely weak spirit has now become much stronger!

You know, the wisdom of ordinary soul-devouring ants is definitely not as good as that of monsters of the same level, and they usually only follow the command of the queen ant.

However, the spiritual power of the purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants is almost the same as that of monsters of the same level!

What does this mean?

Zhou Daocheng originally thought it was nothing, but after thinking deeply, he discovered the terrifying nature of this ability.

The most obvious thing is that they can better understand the instructions of the queen ant, complete various tasks better, and adapt themselves.

For example, this new way of collecting honey is a new method they think of in group cooperation.

And the change of thinking will affect the body!

In the process of using their own shells to collect mist, they will have extremely simple thoughts:

For example, why can't the shell be bigger? Can't it be flatter? Or have the function of self-heating?

It is precisely because of this constant thinking that in the next reproduction, this purple-armored spirit-swallowing ant that specializes in collecting spiritual honey will give birth to a flatter, larger, and more suitable shell for collecting spiritual honey.

And because the number of Group B is large enough, so that they all have similar needs, it is very likely that their own body will develop in a certain direction.

And this phenomenon has indeed appeared...

In the entire ant nest, the main work of the first-level low-grade and first-level middle-grade purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants is to collect spiritual honey.

Zhou Daocheng found through inspection and comparison that their shells are obviously flat and have a much larger area, which is more suitable for friction and convenient for condensing water droplets.
