The next morning.
After breakfast, Lu Changsheng prepared to explore the Cangyun Mountain Range once more.
His gains had slowed considerably lately. Something must have happened to the ant colony.
Moreover, his Source Energy Points were running low, so he had no choice but to take action again.
The two factions in the county town were secretly competing against each other now. No one knew when a great battle might erupt, so he had to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
Then, he split off a thread of consciousness and entered the Pangolin's body.
The surroundings were still that same cave, though it had grown much larger than it had been over two months ago.
The ground was covered in ant eggs, densely packed into a vast spread, and a strange smell hung in the air.
Quite a few Blazing Fire Ants stood guard outside the cave, while the Ant Queen lay quietly in the center.
Lu Changsheng looked at the mutant eggs on the ground, which showed no signs of hatching, and felt somewhat puzzled.
These Blazing Fire Ants were a mutated variety, and their incubation period should have been around two months.
Ever since he had used Source Energy Points to make the Ant Queen lay eggs, none of those eggs had hatched.
"Do they need some specific location?"

After exploring for the past few days, he had already more or less mapped out several nearby areas.
Over thirty li east of this
