He came to the hatching room deep in the ant nest with ease, ate a full meal, and then found a corner where ants rarely pass by.
After digging a small hole, turn around and seal the hole connecting it to the hatching room, and then continue to dig outward.
Pheromone is really a good thing. After mastering its basic use, Rowan has discovered a variety of extended uses.
For example, the method of using marked pheromones as coordinates is not a new invention, and the black ants have long been able to use this method.
But they can only receive this information by touching them with their tentacles at close range, but Rowan can sense the pheromone coordinate information he left behind at a long distance.
At this time, he dug towards a coordinate point he marked, which was the result of the labor of the previous two days and the transportation team, the underground passage.
Since this underground passage was already very close to the ant nest, it took only a short time for Rowan to connect the newly dug passage to this underground passage.
Climbed into the underground passage, called the transport team that was already waiting here, and first moved the soil in the newly excavated passage out of the passage. Rowan used his saliva to make some reinforcements for the new passage.
Then a temporary storage room was dug out near the ant nest in the passage, and the transportation team was on standby in the passage, and then the connection between the storage room and the passage was sealed to clean up the pheromone left by the transportation team just now.
After doing this, Rowan returned to the hatching room of the ant nest, and began to move food from the inside to the temporary storage room dug just now.
Although ants passed by during the period, Rowan had legitimate identity information, so they didn't care about anything.
After carrying enough food, Rowan sealed the connection between the passage and the hatching room, and spread some pheromones that prohibited approaching.
Then the connection between the storage room and the underground passage was opened, and the transport team was called to carry the food in the storage room back to the insect nest.
The plan went well, and the worm nest, like the parasites on the ant nest, began a life of indolence and indolence.
Luo Wen was freed from the busy hunting work all of a sudden, he didn't need to find lone scout worker ants, and he didn't need to perform Luo's fighting skills. Just need to move some food to the storage room every once in a while.
Unfortunately, such days cannot last.
There are also thousands of people in the neighbor's house, and the amount of food consumed every day is also amazing, and there is actually not much food that can be saved. This can be seen from the number of soldier ants. These special soldiers who are not engaged in production and are dedicated to fighting, even if there are thousands of ants in the ant nest, they can only support about ten ants.
But as these days, the number of bugs in Rowan's nest has gradually increased, and the food in the hatchery of the neighbor's house has decreased significantly. The black ants have obvious irritability, and they can't figure out why the food is getting more and more few.
Luo Wen is also very anxious. The days these days are extremely comfortable, but the number of ants in his nest is increasing day by day. He has already stopped the task of allowing the mother nest to directly hatch two adult ants every day. Except for hatching 10 eggs a day, the remaining resources are reserved for its own development.
Even so, in a few days, when the pupated larvae break out of the pupae, Rowan's nest will increase by about ten adult ants every day, and about ten more eggs will hatch.
These hungry mouths will quickly increase the burden on the ant nest, and it will wear down the ant nest in a short time. You must find a way.
But before he could think of a solution, Luo Wen was attracted by the yellow worms in the hatching room. At this time, the ant nest has been regarded by Rowan as his own food production base, so looking at these few parasites is extremely unpleasant.
He turned his mind slightly and thought of a way. He didn't know if it would work or not, so he tried it out first.
Slowly crawling to the side of a yellow worm, the yellow worm who was feasting was unaware of Rowan's approach.
Luo Wen secretly spit at the yellow worm, and then quickly moved away. This saliva contains a mixture of pheromones, which is basically another ID card, but it does not belong to the ant nest.
The incubator is an important facility for the ant nest. It is self-evident that it continuously provides new labor for the ant nest.
And suddenly a strange identity appeared in such an important place, such a dangerous thing was quickly noticed by the worker ants who were feeding the larvae, and they faintly surrounded the yellow worms, and several of them quickly went to the patrolling soldier ants .
The yellow worm, who was enjoying the delicious food, was unaware of the upcoming danger. The constant security environment had already made it lose its vigilance, and it could not imagine that there was such an insidious villain in worm skin as Rowan.
The soldier ants in the distance began to move towards this side, and it was the first time that Luo Wen saw the tyrannical combat power of this combat weapon.
Two jaws directly bit the unsuspecting yellow worm, and with one shake of the head, the yellow worm was cut into two pieces. The vitality of the yellow worm is very tenacious, even so, its upper body can continue to move.
It's a pity that it has no chance to escape, and in the blink of an eye, it is overwhelmed by many worker ants that have long been eyeing it.
Luo Wen was a little apprehensive as he watched from the sidelines. Relying on a single sensory function to identify friend and foe had too many flaws. Fortunately, his worm nest has two sets of identification systems. Otherwise, only relying on pheromones to identify them is too big of a loophole, as long as a bug with the ability to change pheromones and a certain amount of wisdom can destroy the entire ant nest from the inside.
It seems that there is only one capable and intelligent bug like him at present, but the world is so big, who knows if similar strange bugs have evolved.
After thinking about it, the two sets of identification friend or foe systems are not safe. When the ability is enhanced in the future, he must develop a few more sets.
Just like the TV series I saw before, when human technology is not yet developed, we can only distinguish ourselves from the enemy with the naked eye. Many people who are proficient in disguise can easily sneak into the enemy camp. It was not until the development of science and technology that fingerprint recognition, pupil recognition, face recognition, DNA recognition and the like came out, and this situation improved.
He must use these past lessons as a mirror.
But it's still too early to think about it at this time. He already has two identification systems, which are enough for the time being. This matter is not a high priority. The most important thing at this time is to clean up other yellow worms first, so as not to continue to waste the food of the ant nest.
For the death of their companions, the other yellow worms did not respond at all. They should eat and drink, as if they had nothing to do with them.
Luo Wen spat the saliva carrying the fake breath on them one by one, and watched them being overwhelmed by soldier ants and worker ants one after another.
Cleaning up all the yellow worms not only reduces the consumption of a lot of food, but also contributes to the food reserves of the ant nest itself.
However, these are still a drop in the bucket. Facing the mother nest that is about to explode, the ant nest does not know how long it can afford.
