The sun shone brightly.
A gentle breeze brought refreshing coolness and swayed the grass, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
On the fifth day after rebirth as an ant, Su Bai climbed out of his anthill for the first time.
Perhaps ants in this game world were stronger than those in his previous life. The anthill where Su Bai was born was not dug into the ground but was located on a small cliff wall half a meter above the ground.
This elevated exit ensured that even during heavy rain, the anthill would not be flooded.
After leaving the anthill, Su Bai did not rush away but crawled forward along the path traveled by Worker Ants.
On this path, he smelled two kinds of pheromones.
They represented "gathering" and "combat."
In ant species, these two pheromones could mean either an enemy appeared or Worker Ants discovered prey, calling other ants to kill or drag it back to the anthill.
No matter which case, for Su Bai, this meant his first battle in this world!
Slightly excited, Su Bai followed these two scents.
Just over ten meters ahead, he saw the battlefield.
On a clearing, a more than ten-centimeter-long earthworm struggled desperately, surrounded by hundreds of black ants.
A single ant could barely harm the earthworm, but hundreds together could exhaust and kill it, turning it into stored food for the anthill.
Upon arriving, Su Bai immediately joined the battle.
If facing other insects, he might hesitate. But facing an earthworm—a pure meat shield insect—was a heaven-sent opportunity for Gene Points and Evolution Points!
Compared with ants, earthworms had greater strength and constitution, thus stronger defense.
Ordinary ants struggled to bite through, and it took a long time for small Pincer Fangs to tear a tiny wound.
Su Bai's four main attributes far exceeded ant limits.
Plus his passive skill Enhanced Pincer Fang allowed him to tear off chunks of flesh with a single bite!
The injured earthworm writhed violently, and Su Bai happily saw new subtitles.
"Eating... gained 3 experience..."
"Eating... gained 2 experience..."
"Ding! You devoured earthworm flesh and gained 1 earthworm gene."
One earthworm gene was not much better than a green worm gene but was a good start.
Encouraged, Su Bai's sharp Pincer Fangs swung more often, tearing flesh chunks from the earthworm and swallowing them.
"Eating... gained 4 experience..."
"Ding! You devoured earthworm flesh and gained 1 earthworm gene."
"Ding! You devoured earthworm flesh and obtained a Skill Fragment!"
"Skill Fragment?"
Su Bai paused, hurriedly opening his attribute panel.
On his second attribute panel, a new line appeared.
[Gene Points]: 3 Green Worm Genes, 2 Earthworm Genes
[Evolution Points]: 0 points
[Skill Fragment]: Healing 1/10
When his eyes landed on the third line, information naturally flooded his mind.
Passive Skill Healing: You suffer slightly less bleeding and severe injury effects; your wound healing speed increases slightly. When food is sufficient, you can slowly repair your injuries by eating.
Clearly, this was a very powerful passive skill!
As an ant, Su Bai could not drink healing potions, find healers, or even use healing skills. Injury could be fatal.
The appearance of the passive skill Healing greatly enhanced his survivability!
The only pity was that this was only a Skill Fragment, not a full skill. To master Healing, he needed nine more identical fragments.
For a moment, Su Bai looked at the earthworm with burning eyes.
His biting and tearing accelerated.
...
With the Devour Evolution talent, Su Bai's appetite was terrifying.
The consumed flesh was converted into experience, Gene Points, or Skill Fragments, allowing him to easily consume several times his own body weight in food.
Even so, it took Su Bai over ten minutes to finish swallowing the entire earthworm.
After the prey (food) was gone, the Worker Ants confusedly waved their antennae and dispersed to search for new food.
Su Bai happily opened his attribute panel.
The first attribute panel showed no change.
Devouring the earthworm did not raise his Rank or four attributes again.
However, the second attribute panel gradually enriched:
[Gene Points]: 3 Green Worm Genes, 5 Earthworm Genes
[Evolution Points]: 1 point
[Skill Fragment]: Healing 3/10
A live earthworm provided Su Bai with 5 earthworm genes, three Healing skill fragments, and 1 Evolution Point.
Healing skill still needed seven more fragments to form a full skill, meaning he needed to devour at least four more earthworms.
As for Evolution Points...
Participating in killing one earthworm gave Su Bai 1 Evolution Point.
Once he accumulates 5 Evolution Points, he can start his first evolution!
