Chapter 38: The Migration (1)
Luo Wen deeply regretted his sharp eyesight and cursed himself for watching the entire process.
A rare delicacy—why did he have to witness how it was made? How could he bring himself to eat it now? It was a devastating blow to a foodie like him.
He turned away, determined not to look again, and focused on scouting the area.
With his view obstructed, Luo Wen managed to search only a few hundred meters around him before nightfall. He discovered four ant nests, all belonging to Black Ants. These nests were relatively large, likely due to their ability to rear other insects. A more diverse food supply allowed them to sustain a larger population.
As for a new location to establish his own nest, Luo Wen had made his choice. He selected the intersection at the center of the four Black Ant nests. While it was somewhat risky, Luo Wen had become quite adept at concealing his lair.
These Black Ants could only dig so deep underground. Luo Wen planned to build his nest in the deeper layers, as he had done before. Above this, he would construct a transit station completely disconnected from the main nest below.
The subterranean brood nest would be like an isolated island, only linked to the upper transit station during food transportation.
With his mission accomplished, it was time to return. It was already late, so Luo Wen decided to rest for the night and head back at dawn.
The next morning, Luo Wen emerged from the ground, stopped by a nearby ant nest to snag a meal, and began crawling towards the cliff.
