Chapter 113: Developing New Frontline Units
The fall from such a height wasn’t fatal for the leopard, but Luo Wen’s venom certainly was.
After hitting the ground, the leopard struggled to get up and flee, but the pain in the back of its neck intensified. Its muscle tissues dissolved, its nervous system broke down, and its body lost control, leaving it to collapse helplessly on its side, howling in agony.
To avoid attracting other competitors, Luo Wen didn’t let it suffer long. He dove down from above, pincers outstretched, silencing the leopard forever.
It took a great deal of effort and time, but Luo Wen finally consumed both the leopard and the bird, bringing their fatal rivalry to an ironic resolution in his stomach.
Satisfied and full, Luo Wen temporarily lost interest in further excitement. The rest of his journey back to the base was uneventful, and he arrived without issue.
Back at the base, the number of fully developed insects had surpassed one million. However, there were nearly ten million eggs and larvae still maturing.
This was because the second batch of 50 Type III Queen Ants had matured late, and their first batch of offspring wasn’t yet fully developed—it would take a few more days.
But Luo Wen’s primary purpose in returning wasn’t the offspring but the Queen Ants themselves. Although these weren’t the command-specialized Type I Queens, their intelligence was still slightly higher than that of ordinary bugs. They could help Luo Wen test additional functions of the Swarm Network.
Since the Swarm Network had been established, Luo Wen noticed a significant rise in the insects’ intelligence, especially among the Queen Ants.
