Thinking of this, Zhou Qi called Sun Yufei, asking him to come over tonight if he had time, to take away all the Rank 10 Annam Centipedes here and see if he could find a way to send them to the rainforests of Southeast Asia or the Amazon.
Watching his Evolution Points break the 1 billion mark, Zhou Qi had initially expected a reward, similar to when his Evolution Points first reached 100 million, but he didn't see any light screen prompts and wasn't too disappointed.
He then took Uka to the Nine-Order Army Ant Queen.
Looking at this massive Nine-Order Army Ant Queen, if it were to double in length with each Rank increase as before, that would truly be terrifying.
This was Uka's first time seeing the Nine-Order Army Ant Queen. He stared at her curiously from the side, clearly sensing the oppressive aura emanating from her.
This strange insect is at least close to the strength of an Advanced life form, and her Mental Energy is extremely high; the Mental Energy light cluster has even turned into a halo behind this strange insect's head, Uka thought to himself.
“Ding, consuming 1 billion Evolution Points, the Army Ant Queen has been enhanced to a Tenth-Order Army Ant Queen. All attributes are greatly enhanced.”
“Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully enhancing a Tenth-Order Army Ant Queen and advancing to a Second Order Apostle, gaining a new talent: Ant Swarm Leap.”
Under the mysterious light of the Evolution Space, the already massive Nine-Order Army Ant Queen began a shocking transformation.
Her body swelled dramatically, like a rising mountain, and the surrounding air trembled slightly from this immense power.
Her original 25.6-meter-long body stretched continuously at a visible speed, segment by segment, until it finally settled at an astonishing 50 meters.
Her body width also increased significantly, like a giant battleship lying horizontally, exuding an unparalleled aura of majesty.
If she stood up, she would be over ten stories tall; anyone with megalophobia would truly go insane. Her height also reached over ten meters. Fortunately, the underground Cave was high enough, otherwise, the active space would have been too small.
The hard, dark-black exoskeleton was adorned with mysterious runes, and her head grew thorn-like horns resembling a crown. Her six pairs of legs became as thick as pillars.
Her wings, after evolution, became wider and tougher. When her wings spread, they measured tens of meters across.
Zhou Qi was utterly shocked looking at the Tenth-Order Army Ant Queen, who had been enhanced to a Second Order Apostle. She was no smaller than the monsters in Japanese movies.
Uka, beside him, had his Dragon mouth wide open. Having lived for so many years, Uka felt like he might still be dreaming.
Her reproduction talent also improved.
Daily reproduction: 320,000 Six-Stage Army Ants, 3,200 Six-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers, 3,200 Six-Order He Bo Insect, 1,600 Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insect, 160 Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects.
Zhou Qi opened the light screen:
Apostle: Tenth-Order Army Ant Queen
Rank: Composite Life Form (Mother Insect Level Life)
Race: Army Ant
Gene: Intermediate Ant Queen Gene
Life Essence: Carbon-based life
Talents:
Seven-Star Talent: One-Star Talent: External Insect Nest
Ant Swarm Leap: For every ten thousand of the same type of subordinate bred by the Army Ant Queen, one Race elite will appear. For every million, one Race leader will appear. For every hundred million, one Race King will appear.
(Each Rank increase will break a life limit.)
Five-Star Talent:
Faith Crown, Mental Power
Four-Star Talent: Super Body Reproduction
Three-Star Talent: Mental Network, Thought Imprint, High-Speed Growth
Two-Star Talent: Advanced Nesting, Advanced Defense Enhancement
Life Strength: 31
Looking at the description on the light screen, Zhou Qi was momentarily shocked. This was simply too powerful.
Not only did her Life Strength reach 31 points, comparable to an Advanced life form in its growth stage, but this new talent, Ant Swarm Leap, was also incredibly powerful.
According to the description, it was a seven-star talent, meaning the more she reproduced, the more creatures would be born that broke through the racial value limit.
Now that the One-Star Talent: External Insect Nest had Advanced with the Army Ant Queen to Rank 10, there was an additional slot, bringing the total to six slots.
Among the four slots already used, three were Intermediate life forms.
According to the Ant Swarm Leap talent, if 10,000 are born, they will be Advanced life forms; a million will be Super life forms; a hundred million will be Titans, at least with the potential to reach the Titan Rank.
As for the Zhu Yan Demon Insect, which starts as an Advanced life form, a million can produce a Titan-Rank, and a hundred million...
This is definitely a Late Stage talent. Now, the Tenth-Order Army Ant Queen is reproducing more and more subordinates every day. As time goes on, the underground Cave will clearly not be able to accommodate so many subordinates.
Zhou Qi indulged in a moment of fantasy, then came to the Tenth-Order Army Ant Queen's side and asked her to start reproducing one of each type of subordinate. He wanted to see how much Life Strength the newly reproduced Six-Rank subordinates could reach.
Not long after, the Army Ant Queen began to reproduce, and huge insect eggs were expelled from her body.
Under the enhancement of the High-Speed Growth skill, subordinates visibly crawled out of the insect eggs, like Aliens breaking out of their eggs.
Each type of subordinate was significantly larger than its Rank 5 counterpart. The Six-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers and Six-Order He Bo Insect were similar in length, both close to one meter long.
The Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insect was even over one meter, close to 1.2 meters, with strong muscles bulging its carapace in many places.
As for the Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects, they didn't grow much taller, just breaking 1.3 meters.
However, the luster of its demonic armor deepened, and the poisonous stinger in its mouth was like a spear, nearly one meter long, held tightly by its upper limbs, like a guard standing by a palace gate.
Zhou Qi began to examine these newly born Rank 6 subordinates one by one.
Six-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers: 11 points - Ultimate Form Low-level Life
Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insect: 12 - Ultimate Form Low-level Life
Six-Order He Bo Insect: 11 - Ultimate Form Low-level Life
Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects: 19 - Mature Form Intermediate Life
Seeing this, a surge of ambition rose in his heart. Thinking of his Lizardmen subordinates in the Geocentric World, Zhou Qi felt like a little devil inside, constantly muttering, "Send troops! Send troops!"
Zhou Qi quickly took a deep breath, suppressing this desire. The Geocentric World was still an unknown Domain to him; he had only learned some superficial information through Moga Luo.
Before encountering Uroboros, if Zhou Qi had only learned those insignificant pieces of information from Moga Luo, he would definitely not have been able to restrain his inner desires.
That was the Geocentric World! Humans might be able to conquer the surface, but they couldn't take down the Geocentric World.
But if he were to send troops now, even if the Old Gods were either dead or dormant.
But what if there were Super life forms from the previous era still alive inside? If they then fought their way up, who on his side could stop them?
Rely on the Tenth-Order Army Ant Queen or the tai sui meat? The former can only be considered a growth-stage Advanced life form, and the latter is an auxiliary life form with no combat capability.
He still needed more powerful strength; his current strength was far from enough.
