Chapter 615 Chimera Ants (11)
When the queen ant saw me standing there, she started to squirm as if she was trying to do something to fight back.
But her physique didn't let her.
She was three times as big as a normal Chimera Ant, but she was also three times as fat. No, it was more like five times and that was still being generous.
However, one couldn't blame her since she was clearly still carrying more eggs in her.
That was what I was aiming for in the first place.
There was something that no one knew about the queen ant that only I knew.
It was that the queen ant carried a special fetus inside of her.
Unlike the rest of the soldier and worker ants that were born from eggs, there was one special ant that wasn't born from eggs like the rest. This was a child that she would only give birth to at the end of her life cycle.
It was the fetus for a new queen ant, the one that would take over once the queen ant died.
That was also my goal for this entire trip.
After all, I had a special method of controlling that queen ant fetus.
As long as I could control that queen ant fetus, then it would be possible for me to make sure of the Chimera Ants in the future.
I just calmly pulled out a sword as I faced this queen ant.
For once, I didn't use Durand since it would be dangerous to use Durand against this queen ant. There was no knowing what kind of effects Durand would have on the queen ant if I used it on the queen ant.
I couldn't take that risk.
There was another thing about this queen ant that I knew that others didn't know.
They completely lost their mind and just started attacking without a single care about their own safety. But all that did was make it easier for our soldiers to take them down since it was easy for them to bait these ants while they were in a frenzy.
At the same time, this gave me a chance to interact with the queen ant corpse without anyone seeing anything since they were too focused on taking care of the surrounding ants.
I ignored the head of the queen ant and went lower, heading to its gaster.
Once I was there, I reached my sword down to where its butt was and then quickly inserted my sword in.
From the very beginning, I had no plans of bringing this sword back, so I didn't hesitate to stab it into the queen ant.
As for why I was doing this, it wasn't some kind of strange fetish.
Rather, it was because I couldn't cut through the queen ant unless I did this.
Her body was hard on the outside and soft on the inside, so I was only able to cut her open by doing this.
I made sure to cut the gaster of the queen ant open and there were a bunch of eggs that fell out. However, these eggs were not the things that I was interested in.
I dug through the eggs until I found a single ant fetus that was lying among the eggs.
This ant fetus didn't seem to be moving, but I knew that it was still alive, so I pulled out a potion that I poured over the ant fetus. When the potion fell onto the ant fetus, there was movement that came from it.
Seeing this, I pulled out another potion that I poured over the ant fetus.
This time, the potion was quickly absorbed by the ant fetus and it started to change.
In no time at all, the ant fetus started to grow until it was around a quarter of the size of the normal ants.
Seeing this, I gave a satisfied nod as I put the small ant down.
After that, I took out a leaf that I held in front of the ant.
