After two days, Su Bai returned to the ant nest in the center of Gloomy Jungle with Little Worker Ant.
During the time Su Bai and Little Worker Ant were away, Queen Ant had been nonstop feeding and laying eggs according to Su Bai's orders, finally pushing the Gold-devouring Ant tribe's population beyond ten thousand.
Not only that, hundreds and thousands of Gold-devouring Ants left the nest to hunt continuously around, turning the center of Gloomy Jungle into a dead zone.
Apart from the forest and plants still thriving, there were no monsters with levels left; even slightly larger Tiny Level creatures were hunted down by the omnipresent Gold-devouring Ants and turned into food for the colony.
Of course,
the result of clearing out countless monsters was a huge increase in the overall strength of the Gold-devouring Ant tribe.
With more than ten thousand Gold-devouring Ants, the vast majority were still the lowest level 1; over three thousand had reached level 2; more than five hundred were level 3; and more than a dozen had even skipped level 4 and reached level 5.
Clearly, if they could continue to grow, these dozen level 5 Gold-devouring Ants could potentially become elite ants!
Individually, a single Gold-devouring Ant might still not be a match for a Goblin, but as a whole, the tribe's strength had far surpassed that of the original Goblin tribe.
If the growth time were longer, it might not be long before the Gold-devouring Ant tribe could contend with strong races like the Swamp Murloc, whose average level was 15.
"However..."
"Having lost the Murloc Lord, the Swamp Murloc is currently in disarray."
"Moreover, Swamp Murlocs usually appear in squads, similar to Goblins... At this time, the Gold-devouring Ant tribe might not be unable to eliminate the Swamp Murloc..."
After understanding the current strength of the Gold-devouring Ant tribe, Su Bai pondered silently.
Poison Swamp must be occupied.
Not to mention the vast experience represented by the thousands of Swamp Murlocs, The poisonous gas saturating the entire swamp could likely grant the tribe the [Basic Poison Resistance] Passive Skill. Poison Swamp must not be abandoned.
The only concern was how many losses the Gold-devouring Ant tribe would suffer while clearing the Swamp Murlocs.
"Twenty-three days..."
After some silent contemplation, Su Bai made his decision: "Use three days to speed up clearing Gloomy Jungle. After three days, higher-level Gold-devouring Ants will enter Poison Swamp to hunt Swamp Murlocs, while level 1 Gold-devouring Ants remain in Gloomy Jungle to continue expanding the tribe's territory!"
Feeling relieved after making the decision, Su Bai waited to see how much strength the tribe could gain in these three days.
...
Following Su Bai's orders, Queen Ant continued producing eggs at full speed to increase the tribe's numbers. Over ten thousand Gold-devouring Ants scattered to hunt monsters and creatures within Gloomy Jungle.
Every second, countless monsters were killed, becoming experience for the growth of the Gold-devouring Ants.
Their corpses were transported back to the nest as food needed for Queen Ant's egg production.
Similarly, every second saw many Gold-devouring Ant deaths in battle.
After one day, the tribe's numbers dropped from nearly twelve thousand to eleven thousand; the number of level 2 ants rose from over three thousand to over three thousand five hundred.
After two days, the total number decreased to ten thousand; level 2 ants increased from over three thousand five hundred to over four thousand.
After three days, the total number remained at ten thousand, but level 2 ants rose from over four thousand to nearly five thousand!
Level 3 ants exceeded one thousand.
Level 4 ants surpassed two hundred; level 5 ants exceeded fifty.
Two ants even hunted a large number of monsters during those three days, raising their levels from 5 to 7!
As a monster race that grew from the Dim Level, every upgrade meant growth.
At the same level, A level 7 Gold-devouring Ant could easily overpower a level 7 Goblin.
At this point, the tribe's strength had initially taken shape.
Subsequently, under Su Bai's command, all Gold-devouring Ants above level 3 entered Poison Swamp to hunt Swamp Murlocs under the leadership of dozens of ants above level 5, also attempting to activate the [Basic Poison Resistance] Passive Skill.
Level 1 and 2 ants continued hunting within Gloomy Jungle to improve their strength and level.
Once they reached level 3, they would join the hunt for Swamp Murlocs like their predecessors.
This cycle repeated.
The nest was like Su Bai's barracks, constantly producing the lowest level Gold-devouring Ants.
Gloomy Jungle was his training ground. Newly matured ants hunted continuously in this safer jungle to train and level up.
Finally, Poison Swamp was his drill ground.
Level 3 ants were like recruits fresh from training, and Poison Swamp was their battlefield. Only those who survived the Poison Swamp battlefield earned the right to be true warriors, genuinely serving Su Bai.
Following this whole process,
Su Bai trained the Gold-devouring Ants like a human soldier, rapidly growing and strengthening the entire tribe!
Every day, many ants died in battle.
Every day, many ants leveled up and gained the [Basic Poison Resistance] Passive Skill.
In the time before the player's arrival, Su Bai's strength was improving, and so was the overall strength of the Gold-devouring Ant tribe!
