From Ant to Abyssal Demon - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: The Birth of the Overlord Ant!

He didn’t know how long it’s been, but Su Bai woke up from his slumber.

The first thing he felt was the immense power surging from all parts of his body, several times stronger than before!

Then, Su Bai opened his own attribute panel.

【Name】: Su Bai

【Species】: Overlord Ant

【Rank】: Tiny Level

【Level】: Tiny Level

【Attributes】: Strength 0.7, Agility 0.4, Constitution 0.5, Spirit 1.2

【Talents】: Soul Point Allocation (Soul Talent), Devour Evolution (Unique Talent), Adaptability (Species Talent)

【Skills】: Enhanced Mandibles (Passive Skill)

【Gene Points】: 0 points

【Evolution Points】: 0 points (Evolution Points needed for next evolution: 10 points)

【Skill Fragments】: Healing 8/10

After checking his attribute panel, Su Bai felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

This time, his species evolved from Mutant Ant to Overlord Ant, and his four-dimensional attributes received several times of improvement again. His spiritual attribute directly broke through the lower limit of level 1 monsters, reaching as high as 1.2!

This meant that he was one step closer to becoming a level 1 monster!

Moreover, thanks to the enhancement of the insect genes he invested in evolution, the number of fragments of the Healing skill increased from six to eight.

With just one more worm to hunt, or a few more insects, he could gather enough fragments for this powerful passive skill.

With such attributes, he was undoubtedly the overlord of the ant colony!

Worthy of the title of Overlord Ant!

This wasn’t the end. Immediately after, the voice from the depths of Su Bai’s mind sounded again.

[Ding! The first evolution is successful, and you have gained an opportunity to extract a skill. You can choose one of the following skills as your own.]

Then, a skill option popped up.

In the first advancement, Su Bai received two skill options, and in this evolution, he received three skill options.

【Reinforced Shell】: Passive skill. Choosing this skill will make your shell tougher, able to withstand more hits. When facing enemies, you will have a greater chance of survival.

【Scythe Feet】: Passive skill. Choosing this skill will mutate your first pair of legs into scythe shapes, making them stronger. When facing enemies, you will have stronger attack power.

【Charge】: Active skill. Consume half of your stamina to double your forward speed for a short time.

All three skills were very powerful!

【Reinforced Shell】 could enhance his survival ability, 【Scythe Feet】 could provide him with more offensive means, and the final 【Charge】 skill was the first appearance of an active skill, useful for both hunting and escaping.

After carefully reading the descriptions of the three skills, Su Bai finally chose 【Reinforced Shell】.

Sneaky development, no unnecessary risks.

The Strengthened Mandibles passive skill was sufficient for now. Before truly becoming powerful, enhancing his own survival ability was Su Bai’s first choice.

Although the 【Charge】 skill could also enhance survival ability, the condition of consuming half of the stamina and the description of “extremely short” made him feel that this might be a pitfall.

With Su Bai’s choice, a surge of heat spread throughout his body.

His originally dark and shiny shell became even tougher, even acquiring a metallic sheen reminiscent of steel.

After completing all of this, Su Bai let out a long breath.

“It seems that it won’t be long before I have to move to another place…”

After this successful evolution, Su Bai’s size once again increased significantly, swelling from the original 2.5 centimeters to 5 centimeters in length.

For now, the main tunnel of the ant nest could still accommodate him, but it seemed narrow.

Perhaps, digging a cave below the ant nest would be a good choice.

With two antennae slightly swaying, Su Bai thought to himself.

The Enhanced Mandibles passive skill enabled him to bite through rocks. Given some time, he could easily dig out a cave as his shelter.

When he evolved again, he wouldn’t be homeless.

From rebirth to now, he had developed some affection for the ant nest that had always sheltered him, and besides… there was that peculiar worker ant inside the nest.

He wondered if that worker ant would still recognize him in his current form…

With a slight sigh, Su Bai crawled out of the ant nest.

For now, the most important thing was to continue hunting!

With four-dimensional attributes ten times the limit of ants and two powerful passive skills, Su Bai was considered top-notch even among tiny-level creatures, and hunting and predation became even simpler.

Ten hunts, 10 evolution points, and he could undergo the second evolution!

Su Bai had a premonition.

With just one more evolution, his four-dimensional attributes would surpass 1 point, truly becoming a level 1 monster capable of living freely in this world!
