The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 47

Just like what I had expected, this whole area was completely dominated by the ant type monsters. Though contrary to my initial impression, it wasn't as if the ant type monsters were crawling in every nook and cranny of this place. Instead, it seemed to me that these ants were actually living with clear division between their groups. Because from what I had seen, it looked like there were only certain spots where a certain group and number of ants lived. In simple terms, it was something like the town and cities of humans. And of course, between those cities and towns were uninhabited and unclaimed lands. The only difference was, unlike in human lands where forest thrives whenever the humans' population were small, in the ant type monsters territory, there were no forest and the uninhabited lands were instead completely devoid of life. In essence, you could probably say that the whole area was like a sunless desert.

In all honesty though, that very same landscape worked in my favor. After all, that moment when I successfully escaped that battlefield, I had been worried if I would ever find a safe place to hide from those ant type monsters. But after sneaking around for a while and finally noticing the landscape of this area, I had come to realize that it might not be that hard to escape the detection of these ant type monsters. In fact, I even kind of regretted that I escaped from that battlefield. Because all things considered, the ant type monsters swarming in that place were all on the weak side of things. Mostly, the ant type monsters back there were only Anties Workers and some occasional Anties Soldier. And despite their large number, it might not be impossible to annihilate those ants if I teamed up with my fellow monster survivors.

Hmmm, those guys might actually pull it off. Though, it will be a hard-fought battle for sure... And well, the real problem will surely come after that...

Truth to be told, it was possible to come back to that battlefield and assist those guys in annihilating those ants. But given that this form had now reached its maximum level, doing so would simply be a waste of time and energy. And while it was true that fighting an actual battle would help me hone my skills and practical skills, it just wasn't worth it. Besides, I am most definitely sure that those guys would start fighting among themselves the moment the ant type monsters were gone. Seriously, fighting for supremacy was just basically ingrained into their instinct so I had no doubt about that and also had no desire to be wrapped up in the aftermath.

While wishing the best for my fellow monster survivors, I focused my senses and began scanning my surroundings. Yep. There's literally nothing in here... I concluded while letting out a sigh.

As I had expected, all traces of life had been erased in these uninhabited lands. And even though it was favorable for me that there were no ants living in this place, the fact that there were no other monsters here was still a problem in itself. Because for one, having virtually no other monsters around also meant that there was a lack of food. Though now that I think about it, maybe that was the reason why these ants were trying to invade the jungle type area. Most likely, given the size of their population, the ants must have been in a desperate need of resources and food.

But because these guys always turn a fertile land into a barren land of nothingness, then I am pretty sure that this situation will simply repeat itself...

Based on what I have seen so far, once these creatures had successfully created a hive in fertile land, the immediate surrounding of that spot would without fail lose its fertility. And possibly, as the ants continued to expand their territory and control over the land, any vegetation and forestry along the way would also die in return. Then, as both the result of losing the forest and being continuously hunted by swarms of ants, every monster species that were originally living in that area would also fall into extinction one by one. Until eventually, the land itself would die turning it into this same barren land.
