Jiang Tian fed the poison fruits and green stones to the Worker Ants happily.
Soon, the Worker Ants had ingested a green stone and plenty of fruit flesh.
The poison fruits were about the size of a normal jujube—too large for the tiny Ant Tribe whose nails were the length of a thumb.
Five fruits were enough to feed the mutated Ant Tribe for a while.
After the Worker Ants were full, Jiang Tian summoned other mutated Ant Tribe to feed them the delicacy as well.
With the green stones' help, the Worker Ants quickly evolved.
Green light spread over their glossy black shells, deepening the color and shining faint purple.
The poison in the Worker Ants' bodies strengthened as the fruit flesh decomposed and was absorbed as toxin.
Slowly, the Worker Ants fully digested the flesh and grew slightly bigger.
Under Jiang Tian's order, the digested Worker Ants began eating poison fruit again.
...
After feeding, Jiang Tian arranged for the Worker Ants and mutated Male Ants to "enter the mating chamber."
After successful mating, the Worker Ants evolved into Queen Ants.
At this time, Jiang Tian ordered Soldier Ants to carry the Poison Queen Ant to the center of the Ant Tribe.
He commanded the Ant Tribe to form a long line and march toward another Wasp hive.
"That Wasp hive isn't far; I estimate it'll take half a day to clear."
"Then I can head to the poison fruit tree and fully develop Poison Ants."
"When the Poison Ants reach a certain stage, I can poison-kill the Brown Bear and consume its flesh to evolve the Ant Tribe."
Jiang Tian led the way, glancing back.
Three Queen Ants were carried by Soldier Ants steadily forward.
Behind them, Ant Tribe carried various foods and insect eggs.
Jiang Tian now had three Queen Ants: the original Strong Queen Ant, the Flying Queen Ant, and the Poison Queen Ant.
Each represented a troop type.
The Strong Queen Ant produced the strongest Ant Tribe, followed by Poison Queen Ant and Flying Queen Ant.
"My Ant Tribe is now several times stronger than before!"
"Some strong Soldier Ants have grown to 3–4 centimeters—about the size of bullet ants."
"Though Ant Tribe haven't gained bullet ant venom, their constitution surpasses bullet ants considerably."
Jiang Tian's gaze shifted from the Queens to a nearby Soldier Ant.
The Soldier Ant had a large head with two prominent pincers—sharp enough to tear apart ordinary insects.
Its shiny black shell, reinforced by trace metal elements, was even harder.
Now, when Ant Tribe swarmed, they could slaughter almost any insect in the forest.
Still, Jiang Tian was unsatisfied.
His goal was not to dominate the forest insects but to hunt large beasts and conquer the world!
"Ant Tribe bodies are still too small—an animal's foot could crush dozens."
"Besides being small, their constitution is too weak. For other insects, their shells are very hard, but for large animals, they're just a kick or a roll away from death."
Jiang Tian checked his panel; his Constitution was still 13.
Constitution affected HP, and he cared a lot about that.
"Time to focus on development."
"The known jungle is relatively safe, so the Ant Tribe can quietly develop for a while."
He pushed away distractions and pressed on.
No more simulations followed for a while.
His stamina was low and needed to be conserved for emergencies or attacks.
...
Time passed as Jiang Tian led the Ant Tribe to swiftly clear the other Wasp hive.
Then they settled near the poison fruit tree.
They stayed there two days.
During this time, the Poison Queen Ant laid eggs furiously under Jiang Tian's green stone supply.
Poison Ants born, wrapped in green life energy, hatched quickly—within a day, they reached the adult stage.
After hatching, Poison Ants were fed fruit fragments by Worker Ants.
Stimulated by the Insect Nest talent, Poison Ants absorbed energy rapidly, growing fast.
As adults, their appetite grew.
They were then dispatched to the poison fruit tree, voraciously eating the fruit.
From afar, the lush tree was crawling with countless Poison Ants.
Wherever they fed, the area resembled a locust plague—nothing remained.
"The Queen Ant is truly a reproductive machine. Since yesterday, she's produced 5,000 Poison Ants."
"This batch of offspring has expanded my Ant Tribe army beyond 6,000! Amazing!"
Jiang Tian felt the massive toxin energy feedback with slight shock.
Transferring the toxin energy to the mutated Poison Ants caused their black bodies to glow purple.
Obviously, these mutated Poison Ants had condensed their poison to the extreme and could not increase it further.
"The weapons are ready—it's time to kill the Brown Bear and evolve my Ant Tribe army!"
Jiang Tian smiled and ordered all the Ant Tribe to gather.
