Chapter 109: Encountering the Flying Insects Again (1)
For the next two days, Luo Wen stayed in the vicinity. With no food concerns and hopes of finding the nests of the small dinosaurs or flying insects, he scouted the area thoroughly.
Unfortunately, their hunting ranges were vast, and Luo Wen failed to encounter them again during this time.
Among the new genetic material he acquired, only the tail fat organ stood out. Luo Wen chose not to integrate the other traits into his body.
Currently, Luo Wen was already a versatile predator capable of operations on land, sea, air, and underground. His battle-hardened system of stealth and assassination was incredibly effective, and he saw no need to dilute it unless the new abilities were particularly powerful or useful.
The tail fat organ, despite its unassuming appearance and amusing name, proved to be immensely practical. It allowed Luo Wen to convert excess energy into compact fat deposits for storage, greatly enhancing his endurance in sustained combat.
What would have been a week-long supply of food from the five Tail Lard Rats and three small dinosaurs had been consumed in just two days, with the surplus energy compactly stored. Luo Wen estimated he could now go up to two months without eating, provided he rationed the energy. If this ability were distributed to the entire swarm, it could significantly alleviate logistical pressures.
With food taken care of, Luo Wen no longer had any reason to remain in the area. He set off once more on his adventurous journey.
Every day, Luo Wen remotely checked the situation at the base multiple times. Under his command, everything ran smoothly. The swarm’s numbers had surpassed 200,000, and they had quietly taken over the bottom ten levels of the Big-headed Ant nest.
The ten Type III Queen Ants were now in cocoons, nearing maturity. In addition, 50 more Type III Queen Ant eggs awaited hatching.
