Yet, in this survival-of-the-fittest world, dangers lurk everywhere. Dear Ruler! The queen sends out a distress signal to you! Help her build your own ant kingdom!\n\n[Survival Above All]\nAs the crisis looms, the ant colony faces a survival crisis. We must ensure that we have enough resources to survive in this dangerous world. As the ruler, your primary duty is to build the anthill, protect the queen, and confront crises.\n\n[Rebuild Our Anthill]\nSurviving is just the first step; you must expand your anthill. Ant Tunnels are the most important links between anthills. Location planning is a crucial strategy for the development of the anthill—it's time to showcase your wisdom!\n\n[Find Powerful Special Ants]\nBy hatching eggs, you can acquire powerful special ants to become your fighting force. Only by hatching more special ants can you gain more control in the ant kingdom and survive more securely.\n\n[Tame Dangerous Insects]\nOther dangerous but powerful insects exist in this land. Tame them, bring them into battle, and dominate the battlefield. You can also dispatch them to work diligently within the anthill, accelerating the development of the anthill.\n\n[Build a Strong Alliance]\nDon't let the ant colony face invaders alone. Create or join an alliance, help each other, support one another, dominate the battlefield together, and rule the ant kingdom!\n\n[Conquer the Tree of Abundance, Conquer Enemies]\nFight alongside your alliance members, compete for squirters, and occupy the Tree of Abundance. After that, your alliance will dominate the entire kingdom. Reward your allies, punish your enemies, and spread the legend of your story throughout the ant kingdom.\n\n-------------------------------------------\nSubscription Agreement in Brief:\n\nThe Ants: Underground Kingdom provides subscription services.
