Chapter 14 What is the experience of pretending to be in front of 100,000 ants?
Hey! Isn’t it easy to take advantage of yourself?
Feng Ge smiled in his heart. His actions of throwing insect corpses yesterday seemed casual, but in fact they were just a chess move, trying to find out the location of the ant holes around him. The original purpose of doing this was to avoid the ant colony, but now time is tight and there is no time to find insects to kill them one by one. The ant colony has become the only place that can provide Feng Ge with sufficient food sources, and he must face the difficulties.
Following the traces of the dripping liquid of the insect corpse, Feng Bei began his hunting journey. Not long after he walked, he wanted to complain: These ants have a way of traveling too domineering, right?
Yes, the path of the insect corpse being transported is almost a straight line, completely ignoring whether there is any shelter on both sides, and not even considering whether it has invaded the territory of other creatures. It is so reckless that it has opened up a path like a rampage!
Of course, ants do have the capital to be reckless.
Unlike most people's imagination, ants are definitely very powerful in the insect world. Except for a very small number of natural enemies, few creatures use them as their staple food. Because they can spray formic acid, this thing will bring burning pain to other insects and small animals, and sometimes cause permanent damage.
The most taboo thing when scrambling in the wild is injury, so many predators do not eat ants. Because of this, many insects with mimicry functions will mimicry and become ants to scare away natural enemies. Even a mantis as powerful as a mantis, the "nymphs" before the pervert have an ant-like appearance.
Fenglei naturally cannot be so domineering as the ants. He must walk around and stop and constantly look for obstacles to hide himself, especially from one grass to another. He was even more cautious and cautious - there was no way. Although it was early morning at this time, danger was everywhere. Many predators had already gotten up and started "morning exercises".
Several birds with colorful fur were walking in the grass, bowing their heads from time to time and pecking them one or two times. When they raised their heads, they had already picked up one or two insects in their beaks. They smashed them and swallowed them.
Feng Ge saw clearly that the bodies of the insects were very stiff and had already died for a long time before being picked up by the birds. The cause of death was surprisingly consistent: death was frozen and dead.
The jungle is so cruel. Except for the hot summer and autumn, other seasons, the low temperature in the environment from midnight to early morning, exceeds the tolerance limit of many insects. If they cannot find a cave before dark and let themselves get in to keep warm, then they will never see the next day's sun.
What’s even more cruel is that not every type of insect will make holes. Many insects can only use ready-made caves. There are few caves and many insects, which will inevitably lead to conflicts with the "original cave master". If you win, you will have food, drink and shelter, and you won’t win... Hey!
Due to this phenomenon, every morning, many dead insects scattered like pearls appear on the ground of the jungle and among the dead branches and leaves. This is a feast for many birds. "Early rising birds eat insects" comes from here.
In just a moment, Feng Ge passed by several small birds that were not famous. Judging from their body shape, he guessed that they were the big birds and the close relatives of Muke. At the beginning, Feng Ge was shocked when they met them and hurriedly drilled deep into the grass, but soon he realized that his worries were unnecessary. The birds were in a hurry and disdainful manner.
Yes, disdainful!
Feng Bei swore that he had not understood the meaning of those birds, because twice, he saw his reflection in the bird's eyes! And once, he rubbed his claws with a monk beast, and the other party was too lazy to bow his head and pecked him!
After being confused for a while, Feng Le reacted:
There are so many frozen insects on the ground here. For birds, eating them is easy and effortless, and can supplement the most nutrients with the least physical strength. Fenglei mantis runs so fast and is so big, it is difficult to deal with at first glance. Why waste that physical strength?
Of course, the premise for birds not to deal with the tragedy of wind is that the tragedy of wind must be running all the time and show the birds its strength. Once he stops and joins the ranks of sharing insect corpses, he will become a thorn in the eyes of those birds, and he will be about to get rid of it soon.
After confirming that the birds would not attack, Feng Le suddenly became bolder. In order to save time, he no longer deliberately looked for cover and began to accelerate his journey. Not long after, his destination was far away-
It was an ant hole that covers a large area, like a small rockery!
It is actually a bit exaggerated to say that the rockery is a small earth bunch more than one meter high. The earth bunch has been dug out of dense holes. From the outside, it looks like a broken beehive, which will definitely bring a very sour experience to patients with intensive phobia.
In those small holes, countless ants were entering and leaving... No, there were only those who went out, not in. In short, one of them was busy. The ants that crawled out of the ant hole all ran to higher and dry places nearby, spreading out in a fan-shaped shape, and were so black that it was so large!
Seeing this scene, Feng Ge sighed. Although he had been delayed for a while because of some minor problems, he still caught up!
He rushed to the periphery of the ant colony without stopping, turned his head and stared at him with big eyes, and began to carefully search for his target in the ant colony!
These ants are almost the same in shape. As real social insects, their movements are also very uniform at this moment: they hit the ground with four hind legs, raised their upper body, and acted as a "person-standing" shape. The two forelimbs are constantly rubbing on their heads, chests, abdomen, and backs, and scratching them, as if they were tickling!
Of course, this is not a scratching itch. Ants have shells and they won’t itch at all. Doing so is cleaning up their bodies and applying some pheromones to facilitate communication with each other.
After looking at it for a while, Feng Ge's eyes lit up and he finally found the target!
He quickly walked forward and came to the side of the fan-shaped area where there was a group of ants, slightly smaller than the other ants, only seven or eight millimeters longer; his abdomen was a little darker and a little black; he was also scratching, but his movements were much slower.
Feng Ge completely ignored the thousands of worker ants and soldiers ants, and they rushed up without caring about it, and they could tear themselves up in an instant. He directly stretched out his knife arm and stretched between the head and neck of a small ant. With a serration, he clamped his head off like a gardener pruning a flower branch!
Then, Feng Le made the same move, shuttled through the ants, "trimmed", and strolling in the garden like he was in his own garden. Soon after, more than a dozen people died. I felt that it was almost enough, so I swept the headless ants together with my hind legs. A small whirlwind gathered between the two sword arms, rolled up the ants and left with a swagger!
