Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

The animals that were forced into desperation gathered in groups on the short cliffs, and some had already rolled down the cliff. The cliff of less than five meters did not cause much harm to them, but the rolling black tide that followed was deep. Seriously threatening their lives.

Under the pursuit of the ant colony, the animals that escaped into the forest were reluctant to do anything, but the animals that came to the edge of the cliff had absolutely no chance of survival.

They either choose to swim through the turbulent ant colony that stretches for more than a hundred meters, or they choose to jump into the sea and drown, otherwise they can only become food for the ant colony.

In the end, this group of cornered beasts chose to fight to the death. There was no doubt that they all turned into piles of white bones.

In just a few months, the ant colonies seem to have been transformed. Their numbers have increased exponentially, and they have completed their counterattack against opponents that were almost impossible to defeat before. This even includes the frogs that used to hunt flying ants wantonly. They were also driven down the river from the reeds by the ants.

However, they have not been eliminated. There is also a small piece of land in the river. As amphibian frogs, they can wait there for the ant colony to recede and climb back ashore again.

However, this is no longer a threat to the ant colony, it can only be regarded as a trouble at best.

Zero was not prepared to pay attention to the frogs who had escaped into the river and were lingering. He looked towards the south.

There was a forbidden area for the ant colony previously led by Zero. Every time an exploration team was sent deep into it, they would be killed by various dangers.

But now, Zero is no longer what he used to be. Now he is sitting on a huge ant colony of more than two million, and Zero is no longer afraid of any threats.

A small number of the flying ants that had dispersed previously settled on the inner edge of the forest. After that, Zero planned to continue sending large numbers of flying ants deep into the forest to continuously erode the forest.

It was great to dispatch the ant army, but the delay was a bit long. Including the assembly time, this clearing of large animals on the grassland compared to the ant colonies lasted for a week. During this week, During this time, except for the corpses of these creatures, the ant colony received almost no income. The remaining ants could only meet the most basic needs of the ant nest and were unable to obtain food at all.

Therefore, Zero is not willing to easily assemble an army of ants unless necessary. He wants to encroach on this forest step by step by constantly sending flying ants.

After a thorough settlement, the entire grassland became much quieter.

The insect chirping that could often be heard in the past has almost completely disappeared. This is obviously because the ants did not let go of the animals when they were chasing them.

The cool autumn breeze blew by, leaving only the rustling sound of grass blades rubbing against each other.

Since autumn has arrived, aphids are no longer able to provide a large amount of food for the ant colony due to reduced production capacity. Fortunately, the large-scale earthworm acclimation field established previously has played a role.

After large-scale construction and expansion, earthworm larvae quickly settled in these acclimation grounds, and the ants also conducted physical "education" on these young earthworms.

Zero's previous speculation was not wrong. Earthworm larvae were indeed much easier to cultivate than adults. They easily accepted their fate and honestly provided a steady stream of food for the ant colony.

After the ant colonies actually occupy the entire northern grassland, the earthworm breeding sites are bound to expand again.

However, this project will be carried out in winter. Now, the ants have two key tasks. One of them is to continuously penetrate the southern forest, and the other is to quickly accumulate food for the winter when everything matures in autumn.

The fruit trees are bearing fruit again this year and are not yet ripe. However, the fruit trees planted by the ant colony in the past two years have grown much taller. The ones planted last year probably grew to around 30 to 40 centimeters, while the ones planted the year before were almost one meter tall.

At this rate, they may be able to bear their first fruits in a few years.

After completing the occupation of the entire grassland, the ant colonies began to recuperate. Zero maintained a frequency of releasing about 500 flying ants into the forest every half month. By the end of autumn, he had sent six batches of about 3,000 flying ants. Flying ants entered the forest.

However, very few queens are able to successfully establish themselves in the forest.

There were more than 3,000 flying ants, but less than fifty succeeded. Moreover, this group of flying ants has only settled down at the edge of the forest, and its development is very limited.

Soon, winter will come again, and the zero and ant colonies have gone into hibernation, hiding deep underground to open up roads for their respective nests to communicate with each other, and building more and larger earthworm farms to alleviate the possible problems that the ant colonies will have in the future. Food problems faced.

In autumn, Zero planted dozens of fruit tree seeds again and looked forward to them taking root and sprouting next year.

The unsmooth expansion of the southern forest made Ling feel a sense of crisis again. He knew that after the ant colony had gradually spread throughout the entire northern grassland, if the entrance to the forest expansion could not be opened, it meant that the development of the ants would once again encounter difficulties. to the bottleneck.

Although Zero didn't believe that there was anything in the forest that could resist the growing ant army under his command, the unsatisfactory expansion in autumn still cast a shadow in his heart.

"Perhaps, when spring comes, I should send a large number of ground troops into the forest to clear obstacles for the flying ants." Zero thought.

This is indeed a way. As the sole master of the ant colony, he always believes that he has the mission of strengthening the colony.

By now, the format is clear. Now that the ant colony cannot achieve food freedom, entering the forest is the only way to continue to expand the colony.

Therefore, no matter how many dangers there are in this land, Zero will lead the ant colony to defeat them.

In fact, in the past few years, with the help of the flying ants' vision exploration, Ling Yinyin has already thought that the place where the ant colony is currently located should be a larger island, not a peninsula protruding from the mainland.

The biome here is very simple. There are no large creatures at all. The ecosystem is not complicated. The most important thing is that apart from the few birds he has seen before, Zero has never seen any other types of birds. .

Therefore, I have zero judgment that this should be an island.

Since it is an island, the land here will one day be completely occupied by ant colonies. When that time comes, where will the ants go?

This is the biggest worry in Zero's heart. However, there are still large mountains and forests in the south waiting for ant colonies to develop, so this problem is hidden deep in his heart.

However, He never gave up thinking about this matter, including grazing aphids and raising earthworms, all in preparation for the difficulties he would encounter in the future.
