Chapter 107: Flying Insects
After observing for two days to ensure the insects were thoroughly familiar with their tasks, Luo Wen finally freed himself from the duties of hunting food and feeding larvae.
By occupying existing plantations and eliminating Big-headed Ants, the swarm base could now meet its daily needs. Luo Wen only needed to feed himself.
The Long-Faced Beasts had been consumed, and the Ultra Giant Soldier Ants of the Big-headed Ants had nearly been hunted to extinction after days of relentless attacks.
As for other Big-headed Ant soldiers, their smaller size made them unsatisfying to eat, so Luo Wen left them to the swarm to slowly consume and digest.
Luo Wen decided to explore the nearby area, hoping to find another Long-Faced Beast. That would resolve his food supply for many days.
At first, he didn’t dare venture too far from the base, worried that the insects might slip up and attract the Big-headed Ants to retaliate against the base. He frequently used the Swarm Network to monitor the situation.
Surprisingly, everything progressed smoothly. Every day, around ten thousand adult insects emerged from their cocoons, and the number of infiltrators inside the Big-headed Ant nest steadily increased.
The swarm had even taken control of plantation rooms near the connecting tunnel, securing the passage and virtually eliminating the risk of exposure.
With fewer concerns, Luo Wen expanded his exploration range over the next few days, eventually even staying out overnight. Although he didn’t encounter another Long-Faced Beast, his increasingly skilled hunting techniques and the abundance of small creatures in the jungle ensured he could still fill his stomach.
