The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Mutated Black Ant
“Squeak …!” With the mutated mouse, Yifan’s heart trembled. However, this voice did not only attract Yifan’s attention.

“Miao …!” The black cat’s meow seemed to be a warning. Yi Fan didn’t know why, but when he heard this meow, he naturally recognized the meaning behind it. It was a warning to him, as well as a warning to the Rat King. It was like an ordinary beast that gritted its teeth and growled.

Of course, this meow wasn’t just a warning. The dozens of Third Grade mutated cats that had rushed to Yifan had all retreated.

Far away from Yifan and the others, countless Third Grade mutated rats surged out from another grain storage tank like a black torrent.

Seeing this, Yifan stopped moving forward. The group of rats didn’t seem to have poured out of the nest. The black torrent stopped abruptly after a mutated rat that was tall enough to be human walked out.

All of the mutated rats that rushed out were Third Grade existences. There were more than 3,000 of them. Each of them was the size of a werewolf dog and was exceptionally ferocious.

The last mouse that came out was as tall as a human youth. There were golden lines on its black fur. Most importantly, after climbing down from the grain storage tank, the group of rats automatically separated from the center. The golden-striped giant mouse actually walked over.

That’s right. Yi Fan wasn’t mistaken. The golden-striped rat didn’t crawl over. It walked over. It walked straight to the front of all the rats. Its eyes were filled with intelligence. It looked at Elvis gloomily, but the latter didn’t pay attention to it.

Seeing this scene, Yifan was shocked. The intelligence of these Fourth Grade mutated beast kings had actually reached such a level. The intelligence of the zombies’ kings and corpse kings would probably be even more terrifying.

After reaching the fourth rank, the Corpse King’s intelligence was already extremely high. It could reach the standard of normal humans. Most importantly, although they didn’t have any memories, their subconscious knowledge of this world was still preserved. However, they needed some time to familiarize themselves with it and recall it.

To give the simplest example, a Fourth Grade Corpse King would know that it was a cat if he saw a black cat. She might even be able to call the cat by its name. This was basic knowledge.

As for zombies below Tier 4, they didn’t have the concept of a cat at all. At most, they knew that creatures like humans were considered to be mid-to-high Tier 3 intelligence. Of course, with the exception of Corpse Kings, they were much smarter than ordinary zombies.

And now, what did Yifan see? A Tier 4 mutated cat was probably also an Elvis. It could accurately express its thoughts and emotions with a simple meow. This was simply too terrifying.

There was also the Golden Striped Rat King, which had already begun to walk on its own, and Yifan saw a gloomy, cunning light of wisdom in its eyes.

If a creature has intelligence, then it has everything, because intelligence is the root of everything. With enough intelligence, they may be able to create their own civilization with a little time, because civilization is only the embodiment of intelligence.

Once they had wisdom and civilization, they would have a complete system of species, and then another kind of high-level intelligent creature would be born.

Once they had wisdom, they would soon have stronger desires and greater ambitions, and the war between the races could be foreseen.

For some unknown reason, the Earth was moved, causing dark energy tides, magnetic field transients, dark energy invasion, and other side effects. However, at the same time, all living things on this planet called Earth faced their own survival crisis.

However, things are often two-sided, crisis is also an opportunity, like an egg, broken from the outside is food, broken from the inside is life.

Opportunities and crises always coexisted. Earth creatures welcomed the crisis of survival, but also had the opportunity to evolve. This Rat King and Elvis King were obviously mutated beast kings that had firmly grasped the opportunity of evolution.

If Yifan did not appear, then they would be their opponents. However, the appearance of Yifan, an outsider, had upended this balance.

“Squeak …!” The Golden Striped Rat King squeaked, similar to the first time he had spoken, as if he was teasing Elvis

“Meow … meow!” The strange Black Elvis seemed to be responding. There was an obvious smell of gunpowder between the two beasts.

“Chi … Chi!” However, Mo Yi, who was circling in the air, landed beside Yifan with a snort, as if he had joined the grand gathering.

Yi Fan listened to the three different animals, as if they were communicating with each other. Yi Fan couldn’t help but smile bitterly. At this moment, Yi Fan seemed to have been warned by an Elvis King and a Rat King. They seemed to warn Yi Fan not to approach him again.

Facing an unknown number of rats and cats, Yifan had already planned to retreat. However, just as Yifan was about to leave, another change occurred on the field.

“Peng …!” Suddenly, a hole the size of a puppy appeared on the cement floor outside the grain depot. Countless black torrents rushed out, and before Yifan could enter the grain depot, another powerful mutated creature appeared.

Through the hollow iron door, Yifan took a closer look. Good fellow, it was actually a mutated black ant. Each of these black ants was slightly bigger than an adult’s fist, and their entire bodies were shiny with black armor. They had a well-developed chewing mouthpiece, a mutated gigantic head jaw, and three pairs of sharp and barbed legs.

When he heard Suo Suo’s voice, he heard the sound of a mouthpiece cracking. Countless mutated ants the size of fists crawled out from the ground.

The Rat King and Elvis King took a few steps back. Obviously, they were also afraid of mutated ants. In other words, they had all suffered from mutated ants. It could even be guessed that they were neighbors.

Seeing this, Yifan did not plan to stay any longer. Mutated insects, there were actually mutated insects here. The mutated insects did not have a high chance of mutating. Perhaps it was because of their size, or perhaps it was because of their biological genes and so on.

Under the attack of the dark energy, the impact on them could be said to be minimal. Apart from a few mutations, there were also some that could not withstand the explosion of their bodies and died.

Most arachnids didn’t react to dark energy at all. It wasn’t until five years after the apocalypse that mutated insects slowly began to multiply after a long period of infiltration.

Otherwise, based on their numbers and the fact that they would normally become gigantic after mutation, there would be nothing between mutated beasts and humans anymore. It was estimated that Earth was the rhythm of a wave of zombie wars.

Apart from LY County, according to Ji Ruoxue and the others, when they were hunting zombies, they discovered a wave of mutated flies. This was the first time Yifan had discovered mutated insects in this life, and it was also the ant race that claimed to have the largest number of races among the Arachnids and possessed extremely strong individual combat strength.

This kind of black ant was extremely common before the apocalypse. There were all of them, but mutations were not common. These fist-sized black ants were all Second Grade black ants, and the ones that came out now were only ordinary soldiers.

There would probably be even more advanced ones. At this moment, the black flames at the entrance of the cave had no intention of stopping at all. However, in a short moment, there were over a thousand ants crawling out of the cave.

With enough food, it was impossible to describe how terrifying and fast an ant could reproduce.

Apparently, the changes in this granary were probably related to this colony. Before the apocalypse, the number of ordinary colony of black ants was around several thousand. However, judging from this situation, this colony of ants had probably developed into a large colony of tens of thousands of living ants.

As for this colony of black ants, if even the worker ants were Second Grade, then this colony could confirm that there were multiple Queens, at least one or several Fourth Grade Queens.

“Squeak …!” The endless black torrent seemed to have caused the Rat King to feel a bit of fear. With a scream, a black rat tide emerged from the large grain storage tank behind him. It was a Third Grade grey hemp mouse.

“Meow …!” After a short hasty meow, hundreds of mutated cats of all sizes ran out of the food storage tank behind Elvis.

They summoned their entire race, as if this would allow them to regain some sense of security.

Yi Fan understood that his arrival seemed to have broken the peace here. Among the three races, the Ant Race had the lowest level of intelligence, and even their core, the Ant Queen, was also a Tier 4.

However, the Queen Ant’s intelligence was probably on par with that of a Third Grade zombie. She was afraid that there was still a slight deficiency. At this moment, it could be seen that the Queen Ant had thought that the two races had joined forces to provoke the Ant Race. The Ant Race had already poured out, and a Third Grade soldier ant had already appeared among the ants that had crawled out.

Perhaps in the simple mind of the ant queen, this was the final end of the battle, destroying the other creatures competing for food with her, and then she could dominate all the food here and strengthen her own community.

The three races were about to collide. Yifan guessed that this black cat might be a mutated cat in the city. For some reason, he discovered this granary, or rather, a large group of gray and hemp colored mutated mountain rats.

For cats, their favorite food was naturally rats, and there were actually countless mutated rats here.

This black cat had tasted some sweetness under the support of its own powerful strength. However, it was still unable to defeat the fertile rats.

However, it was no ordinary mutated cat. As an Elvis, its intelligence allowed it to return to the city. It began to search for its own kind and brought them here. With such mutated rats here, all the mutated cats were willing to stay here.

In the strict animal world, they were completely loyal to their kings. Over time, they formed their own race and created an extremely strange balance.

The Rat King Clan was supposed to be happily eating military rations in the grain depot, while Elvis and his clan were happily hunting mutated rats, forming a strange food chain.

The Rat King Race originally lived underground, but it wasn’t long before they were forced to the ground helplessly.

Elvis had originally discovered that Yifan was going to kill Yifan for a tooth sacrifice. However, his meow caused the Rat King to be alert. He thought Elvis was provoking him, but he brought another group out to prepare for the battle. Who knew that the black dragon would grow bigger and bigger, and then the ant race would pour out.

Right now, this war between the three races was inevitable…
