The surrounding ants were unable to close in on him as Compass Carburettor extracted a pearl from the dog and the ant each, swallowing one of them to summon his mongoose, making it devour the dog.

He then picked up the one-horned ant's carcass and vanished from the scene, baffling the remaining ants.

"If the ants also grow horns, then…" Compass Carburettor smirked, "It'll become easier for my growth."

After all, the ants were able to eat the grass too. So, they wouldn't ever face a shortage of food. It'll be easier for them to grow in numbers, allowing for more of them to grow horns eventually.
