Rain tried to use his magic to check the surroundings, and he quickly found numerous pathways underground that the monsters had made. They were moving in all directions, and all of them were ants… it took a while, but Rain crushed them while they were underground.
Rain recognized the potential utility in the giant ant bodies, so he carefully retrieved some of them from underground, planning to transport them later to his base for further examination. These unique specimens had various uses, after all.
The ant exoskeletons could prove valuable materials for forging armor, weapons, or other protective gear. The sturdy and colorful shells might offer unique properties and resistances when fashioned into the right equipment. The ant's organs, fluids, or tissues might also have alchemical value. Rain thought they could be used in the creation of potions, elixirs, or other magical concoctions.
