Chapter 04 Conquering the Ant King

"Do I dislike myself for being too comfortable? Do I have to do something that everyone dislikes?"

"What's the difference between spending an unknown number of years in a place where there's no living thing at all, and going to jail?"

This inexplicable emotion made Li Ge feel wary.

The casualness he advocates is his own temperament.

Therefore, Li Ge will never allow himself to be driven or controlled by anything.

When he does anything, he must ensure that he has the ability to withdraw at any time.

This is probably also a kind of paranoia.

Because of this, Li Ge once did something very puzzling.

He used to like playing games very much.

I think about it day and night, tossing and turning.

When he realized that he was out of control, he sat in front of the computer and stayed awake for a whole week.

Until his eyes hurt, his hands trembled, and the whole world became blurry.

On the last day, in order to prevent himself from falling asleep, he even set an alarm every ten minutes.

When he was relieved, Li Ge passed out on the bed and slept for three days and three nights.

From then on, the game was just a game, and Li Ge could never be controlled again.

In Li Ge's opinion.

The desire to kill and the desire to play are the same thing.

It’s just that Li Ge is strong enough now.

The way to get rid of it is also easier.

"Properties Panel"

Li Ge murmured.

"The Kingdom of Life"

Volume: 5.4 cubic meters

Energy: 0.6

Moving speed: one meter per second"

"Swamp of Death lv1

Volume: 100 cubic meters

Energy: 3.9

Moving speed: 2 meters per second”

"Okay, there's a great harvest in the Swamp of Death, and there's also a lv1 logo."

Li Ge recalled the feeling of chasing down the ant colony yesterday.

"After the upgrade, the speed will be faster. Moreover, there is an attribute that is probably not written on the panel."

Li Ge tried to change his form, and a tower slowly formed in the swamp of death until it was restricted by gravity.

Before the upgrade, Li Ge also tried to do this, but no matter how hard he tried, it only made waves on the surface.

That feeling made Li Ge feel like a baby who couldn't control his hands and feet.

I could only lie down on the ground, turn over, and roll around, but I didn't have the strength to stand up.

Now, he can stand up! In this way, the lethality is not simply doubled!

But in stark contrast to the Swamp of Death, is the Kingdom of Life.

The volume shrank, leaving only 5.4 cubic meters.

This is what makes Li Ge hate those ants so much that his teeth itch.

After a period of exploration, Li Ge realized that not everything could contribute to the energy of the Kingdom of Life.

Only creatures with intelligence can understand what gratitude is.

Therefore, even if a big tree is trapped and the only land is spread as flat as possible, the energy obtained can only strengthen a mere thirty cubic meters.

Now, back to five cubic meters.

All efforts were in vain.

Li Ge filed his non-existent back molars.

Little ant, the debt collector is here!

Thinking of the huge ant colony, Li Ge couldn't help but have some reverie.

I wonder how much energy they can contribute in a day?

After a period of reconnaissance, Li Ge finally discovered the nest of the Arrow Ant.

Li Ge turned into a swamp of death and stretched out a tentacle, reaching in from the ant nest.

Within the ant nest, there are connections in all directions.

Ants of different types of work are all busy, coming in and out.

However, no one noticed that above their heads, the bright red and moist swamp soil was quietly spreading.

Li Ge was not in a hurry.

As dirt, he has endless time.

He didn't start the next step until his swamp soil spread to every corner of the ant nest.

Li Ge transferred his consciousness to where the ant queen was.

He was shocked.

"This! Isn't this the soil of my country of life?"

Every corner of the place where the ant queen is located has been renovated, exuding an aura that is particularly familiar to Li Ge.

However, because these soils have long been separated from the main body, the energy in them is overflowing bit by bit.

Soon it will become ordinary soil.

However, this is exactly the effect that the queen ant needs when she is in it.

It has already opened its spiritual intelligence and is soaking in this abundant energy, constantly strengthening itself.

"md, it turns out that I have become a decoration material!"

In addition to being angry, Li Ge was also a little bit dumbfounded.

Turning to look at the queen ant.

——What a fat worm!

As we all know, ants have three segments.

The first two sections of this queen ant can be looked at casually, but the last section is white and fat, as if it is swollen!

Ant eggs one after another are being discharged from the queen's hind abdomen.

These eggs were placed densely on the ground, with a faint golden color showing through the white.

Busy workers would move it away from time to time and take it to a dedicated delivery room not far away.

Li Ge smiled slightly.

The red swamp soil condensed into a small tower.

This is the incarnation of Li Ge's spiritual thoughts.

The queen ant suddenly paused in the action of laying eggs, and then the two small tentacles on her head swung wildly.

The ant colony suddenly became restless. No matter what type of work or what they were doing, all the ants put down what they were doing and rushed towards the queen.

However, roadblocks of red swamp soil were suddenly erected on the roads that originally extended in all directions!

Death upon contact!

All the ants were so anxious that they even started to use "ant sea tactics" to attack the level.

However, this time, Li Ge is no longer the original Li Ge!

The soil in the Swamp of Death has become more powerful and agile.

In the narrow corridor, the mud of the Swamp of Death is like a torrent that swallows everything. Wherever it goes, there is deathly silence!

Countless lives have been filled in, and the energy of the Death Swamp is increasing rapidly.

Li Ge watched all this with cold eyes.

It's just too one-sided and boring.

However, the ant king in front of him was anxious.

It raised its head and waved its tentacles wildly in the air, seeming to be making a silent roar.

"Who are you waiting for to save you?"

Li Ge sneered, waiting for something unexpected to happen.

"Let me see what other skills you have, maybe it will add some fun to this boring operation.

The soil that strangled the ants began to lie dormant.

However, it was completely opposite to what Li Ge expected.

The ants actually gradually stopped attacking and retreated.

"That's it?"

Li Ge waited for a long time with nothing to do, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient when he got such a boring result.

"Forget it." Li Ge shook his head, "Quickly subdue this thing, and then go back and clean up the mess."

Thinking of this, Li Ge mobilized the few remaining soil from the Kingdom of Life.

"I wonder how much energy such a huge group of ants can provide me every day?"

The soil rushed towards the ant king, layer by layer, climbing up its body.

"Ding. Requires the energy of the Kingdom of Life: 78-97"

A system prompt sounded.

"Do you need so many?" Li Ge frowned and muttered to himself.

Not to mention 78 points of energy, Li Ge didn't even have 10 points at this time.

However, his will did not waver at all.

At the moment when the soil was about to completely cover the ant king, Li Ge thought quickly.

"There are three variables that affect the energy required for 'assimilation.'"

"Mental strength, resistance value, volume."

"Resistance is energy that can change rapidly."

"If the ant king's resistance value is 0, how much energy will be required in the end?"

Li Ge looked at the struggling ant king and temporarily stopped assimilation.

"I hope you can understand what I'm saying."

Li Ge said.

"I hope you understand one thing. If you don't surrender, all your people... and you..."

The marsh of death stirred, as if expecting food to arrive.

"However, I am not a big devil."

"If you become my subject, you can live in the soil of the "Kingdom of Life"."

Li Ge adopted the strategy of "carrot and stick".

He was betting that this ant king was not only intelligent but could understand what he said.

He won.

The ant king's struggle stopped. It raised its head and waited obediently.

Li Ge nodded: "Quite smart."

——Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind strangulating your tribe to death.

Of course, there is no need to say the second half of the sentence.

Assimilation skills are activated again.

"Ding. Requires the energy of the Kingdom of Life: 13-18."

Sure enough, it was much less.

But……

Li Ge doesn't even have this much energy.

Li Ge, extremely bachelor, shrugged his shoulders.

"Do your best and obey fate!"

"Why do you think so much? Fuck him!"

"Assimilation skill, activate!"

The soil was once again given life, its roots stretched out, and penetrated into the body of the ant king.

The energy is consumed rapidly, and it is about to bottom out.

However, this time, Li Ge didn't plan to stop!

The power is exhausted!

At this time, Li Ge finally felt it clearly!

What kind of soil is there that has penetrated into the body of the ant king!

That is simply your own mental power!

It's your own soul!

After stripping away all foreign objects,

Li Ge finally felt the essence of the "assimilation" skill!

Originally, in the process of assimilation, energy was like a boost to propel Li Ge's soul forward.

But now, the energy is running out.

Li Ge immediately felt the resistance encountered in the assimilation process.

At this time, Li Ge felt that part of his soul was like a nail.

And this nail is now firmly driven into the cement wall.

I wanted to nail it in completely, but I lost the hammer.

Li Ge has lost all external assistance. Now, if Li Ge wants to continue to drive the "nail" into his soul, he can only choose to smash it with his fist.

However, this is really not a wise choice.

Let’s not talk about whether his fists will be stained with blood.

Let’s first talk about the ant king who is regarded as a cement wall——

It's alive.

Without the suppression of energy, if you are not careful, you may get angry and bite back.

The situation is extremely critical!

However, Li Ge was excited because he touched the essence of the skill.

"Do you want to be reckless?"

"The hammer is gone, but the nails are still there."

Li Ge suddenly had an idea.

"There are no nails, so I can pick up a stone and give it a try."

On the attribute panel, the energy of the Swamp of Death suddenly jumped.

It jumped again.

That's right, the energy of the Swamp of Death is the "stone" in Li Ge's words.

Using the energy of the Death Swamp to assimilate is nothing more than picking up rocks on the ground and digging nails. The effect is almost the same, but it is nothing more than improper.

then……

"Ding, illegal energy transfer was discovered."

"Ding! Warning!"

A terrible pressure arises out of nowhere.

"Ding! Violations are being stopped..."

Li Ge felt that he was going to be crushed into a cake by the pressure.

"Violation...violation nmlgb" Li Ge gritted his teeth and refused to take a step back!

"It's all my energy. Use it how I say! Just use it!"

Under extreme pressure, Li Ge had to shrink and shrink his soul.

At this time, Li Ge was already dizzy from being squeezed.

He just felt that when he opened his mouth, the non-existent internal organs were about to be squeezed out of his mouth!

However!

——I have no internal organs at all! Afraid of hanging!
