Chapter 55: Preparing for Battle (1)
When Luo Wen returned to the branch base, he saw Black Ants emerging from the tunnels.
They were carrying not only food but also eggs, larvae, and pupae, and surprisingly, they didn’t seem to be killing them.
“Are they planning to adopt these larvae?” Luo Wen wondered, puzzled.
At the same time, he noticed another strange phenomenon.
The ones working were exclusively Black Ants, while the Red Ants stood idly by, showing no intention of helping. They appeared to be loafing about.
An uncontrollable thought sprang to Luo Wen’s mind. Could the theory he had jokingly entertained earlier actually be the truth?
He adjusted his pheromones to disguise his identity and cautiously approached while observing their reactions, ready to flee at a moment’s notice.
Fortunately, the pheromone disguise still worked on the Red Ants, who didn’t react to his approach.
However, some Red Ants, for reasons unknown, suddenly began fighting each other.
