Chapter 2

He continued to size up this translucent interface and realized that there was another page.

With a thought, the interface flipped to another page. This was quite convenient.

Name: Qin Ming

Monster: Ardent Sand Ant

Combat Strength Rating: Level One inferior-grade

Growth Potential: Level One superior-grade

This was the rating of the Ardent Sand Ant that Qin Ming had possessed.

It had to be said that even though he had become a monster ant, he was still very small in terms of size.

A Level One inferior-grade combat power score was enough to explain the problem.

Qin Ming suspected that this was the lowest combat strength evaluation.

And his growth potential was only at Level One superior-grade, which was probably not high.

He glanced at the leader of the Ardent Sand Ants beside him and realized that he could also see the rating of this leader on the interface.

Name: None

Monster: Ardent Sand Ant Leader

Combat Strength Rating: Level One middle-grade

Growth Potential: Level One superior-grade

In terms of combat strength, the Ardent Sand Ant Leader was a level higher than him. Of course, this could be seen from its size. In fact, it should be strong enough to crush him.

As for their growth potential, they were both at Level One superior grade.

He looked at the other Ardent Sand Ants and realized that all of them had Level One inferior-grade combat scores like him.

A small number of them had Level One inferior-grade potential, and most of them were at Level One. There were only one or two with Level One superior-grade potential.

In Qin Ming’s opinion, the Ardent Sand Ant was a Level One monster, the lowest level.

As for whether there were any in this race who had broken through the first level, he had no way of knowing.

He lay on the ground and waited quietly for the sun to set.

Several hours later, when the sunlight became less scorching, the leader of the Ardent Sand Ant beside him let out a cry.

The group of Ardent Sand Ants behind it immediately moved.

The leader of the Ardent Sand Ants led the way, and the ants behind it immediately followed.

Qin Ming walked out of the shadow of the rocks.

In this endless desert, they appeared very puny.

Qin Ming read his memories and knew that this was an endless journey.

In the past three years, their group had been running around and moving in a direction with difficulty.

This was something that could not be helped. In the desert, they needed to find an oasis that they could rely on to survive and use it as their nest to reproduce and expand.

However, this desert was too huge. After three years of searching, they still could not find any traces of an oasis.

What a difficult journey… Qin Ming thought to himself as he followed.

When the sun had completely set, night fell on this desert.

The heat of the day was quickly swept away, replaced by bone-chilling cold.

A cold wind blew, swirling a large patch of yellow sand.

The ant colony crawled out of the piled-up sand stubbornly and continued forward.

They stopped when they found a large cactus.

The Ardent Sand Ants clung to the surface of the cactus and began to gnaw.

Soon the poor cactus was riddled with holes.

Qin Ming followed suit and took two bites.

The cactus was crispy and contained a lot of water.

As for the taste, he could not tell anyway, so he couldn’t care less.

These teeth are quite sharp, Qin Ming thought.

Apart from being covered in spikes, the surface of this cactus was also very hard. It was all thanks to his sharp teeth that he could easily chew through the surface.

After a full meal, the ants continued to set off.

Night was the best time to move forward. They naturally would not miss it.

He looked up slightly.

In the night sky, the stars were abnormally bright, so much so that under the starlight, the desert night did not seem so dark.

Some silver light shone down and imprinted itself on the yellow sand, creating a strange sense of beauty.

They traveled like this for the entire night. When the sun rose the next day, the surrounding scenery was still endless yellow sand. Because of his small size, Qin Ming’s vision was rather limited, and he could not see far at all.

When the air became hot again, the ants found the next rock and took a break.

The second day after becoming an ant… Qin Ming lay under a shadow. His front limbs pulled at the sand twice, forming a comfortable pit.

He looked at the leader who was resting in front of him.

The third mission on the interface was to become the next leader of the ants and make all the Ardent Sand Ants submit to him.

He had no idea what to do with this mission.

In fact, what he was most concerned about now was not whether this mission could be completed, but whether he could successfully return to his original world tomorrow.

Just as he was thinking about this in boredom, there was a rustling sound from the top of the rock, and a few pieces of gravel fell down.

Huh? Qin Ming immediately stood up and looked at the edge of the rock.

A huge creature suddenly fell from the top of the rock. It had a hideous mouthpart and a black shell that was as hard as metal, and its long tail with barbs was held high.

Holy sh*t!

It was a scorpion, a black scorpion the size of a washbasin.

From Qin Ming’s point of view, it was a huge and terrifying monster.

It was as if it had seen a nest of food.

In the desert, food and water were the most precious. In the eyes of this scorpion, they were the best rations.

Sizzle!

The leader of the Ardent Sand Ant let out a warning hiss at the scorpion.

The leader was considered super-large among the Ardent Sand Ants, but compared to this scorpion, it was still a small thing.

Qin Ming thought that they would choose to retreat and escape as if they had seen their natural enemy, but he did not expect all the Sand Ants to stand on the spot and warn the scorpion.

They were going to war!

Are they that fierce? Qin Ming thought.

Name: None

Spirit: Black Steel Scorpion

Combat Strength Rating: Level One superior-grade

Growth Potential: Level Two middle-grade

In terms of combat power, this Black Steel Scorpion was definitely stronger than a group of Ardent Sand Ants like them. Naturally, it would not let go of this group of rations. It stretched out its large pincers and dug under the rock.

Several Ardent Sand Ants were immediately flattened.

At the same time, under the direction of the leader, the ants swarmed and crawled towards the scorpion, wanting to eat it instead.

Qin Ming was not sure what would happen if he died in this alternate world, so he did not dare to rush over. He lingered around the periphery.

However, the hiss of the leader of the Sand Ants made his blood boil instantly, as if he had entered a certain state.

A strange power that he had never felt before surged in his body.

F*ck!

He nimbly raised his limbs and circled to the back of the scorpion, climbing up his black shell.

He opened his mouth and bit down.

Ka!

It could only be said that he was worthy of the name of Black Steel. His sharp teeth could not bite through the shell.

The other Ardent Sand Ants could not bite through this layer of shell and could not cause any effective damage.

After regaining some rationality, Qin Ming immediately climbed down from his back.

In just a short while, many Sand Ants had already been eaten by the Black Steel Scorpion.

He carefully circled to the scorpion’s abdomen. This was not a black shell, but a layer of soft gray armor.

Feeling that it was a good place to sink his teeth, he immediately bit down.

A small piece of soft armor was torn off, and green fluid flowed out.

Sizzle!

Seeing that he could cause damage, Qin Ming immediately called his friends over.

Those Ardent Sand Ants could understand the meaning of Qin Ming’s cries. They crawled to the scorpion’s abdomen and bit it one by one. Immediately, the scorpion went completely crazy and began to roll on the sand.

Unfortunately, Qin Ming’s legs were broken and he was thrown out. He lay there and moved much slower.

Fortunately, the scorpion began to spray green fluid and was seriously injured.

Some of the Ardent Sand Ants even burrowed into the scorpion’s stomach and bit it.

A few minutes later, the scorpion stopped moving. It had been bitten to death by the Ardent Sand Ants.

There was strength in numbers.

Although this Black Steel Scorpion was strong, it could not withstand the bite of nearly a hundred Ardent Sand Ants.

Of course, many Sand Ants had died too.
