Chapter 117: The Lake
"Huh..."
With blood on his hands, he dragged the jaw pliers of the last marching ant out of the wound on his calf, Ye Ren suddenly gasped in pain, and at some point, his forehead was actually covered with sweat.
"Damn, don't forget to bite me when you're dead, is this the hatred of killing your father or the hatred of taking your wife..."Wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead with his cuffs, Ye Ren also burst into a foul mouth, no way, although his regeneration ability is not weak, but this kind of pain of dragging things out of his flesh and blood is not something that ordinary people can bear, although Ye Ren gritted his teeth with willpower to stand up to this painful feeling, but he was always very unhappy.
However, despite the foul words in his mouth, Ye Ren's footsteps did not stop in the canopy.
It took about ten minutes just to deal with the wound on his leg, according to Ye Ren's speed, the average ant must have been thrown away several streets by himself, but at this moment, it was not an ordinary ant that was chasing Ye Ren, but the Amazon marching ant that was famous in the Amazon, and the terrifying existence called the man-eating ant could not be measured by common sense at all.
Ye Ren kept running away above the canopy, and those marching ants were chasing wildly below, they were not crawling to chase them little by little, but they all rolled into very large ant balls, and their speed was not much slower than Ye Ren.
Although Ye Ren can't use the fastest speed above the canopy because of the leaves and branches everywhere, these Amazon marching ants are still faster than Ye Ren imagined.
Although Ye Ren had successfully shaken off all the marching ants a few times, he didn't know if it was because of the white fragrance and gelatiny on his body, the group of marching ants could always find themselves quickly after a while, and planned to divide and eat them again.
"No, the body is already a little unable to keep up..."
After running for a long time, Ye Ren finally couldn't hold it anymore, his body suddenly shook when he was leaping through the forest, and the hunger in his stomach was like a fire, which made Ye Ren even have the idea of wanting to go back and eat up the marching ants.
But Ye Ren also clearly knew that even if he turned back, the one who was eaten would definitely only be himself, so Ye Ren must not take this risk.
Because this group of marching ants is really very terrifying, this is also something that Ye Ren only found out after being chased for a while, originally Ye Ren after being chased for a while, he specially looked back at the ant balls rolled by these marching ants to see how many ant colonies they had left to chase themselves, Ye Ren knew that the ants' need for food was actually greater than his own, although the ants... Or that most insects have better hunger tolerance than humans, but the excellent hunger tolerance is based on the premise that the other party does not move much, just like Ye Ren itself, if you lie on the bed and do not move, the energy consumption in the body will be minimized, and you can also go without eating for a long time, but once you have strenuous exercise or work, you must need high-calorie food to replenish energy, otherwise it will not take long to be hungry, and even the body will be starved to death due to excessive energy consumption.
Ye Ren thought that his nutritional reserves were absolutely sufficient, so at first his idea was to let these Amazon marching ants run out of nutrients in the chase, retreat or be annihilated by himself to obtain a little evolution points or something, but it wasn't until Ye Ren saw a terrifying scene that he further understood how terrifying this insect was.
It was something that happened after the Amazon marching ants chased Ye Ren for a while, and Ye Ren was about to look back to see if these marching ants had been thrown away by him, but after this turnaround, the whole person was stunned.
Because these Amazon marching ants are almost out of the nest to chase themselves, so almost all the places they pass through are not an inch of grass, insects or beasts have all disappeared, but even so, the huge population base still makes the food intake of these marching ants very insufficient, and soon there are many marching ants because they have consumed energy but have not replenished and become hungry, and their actions have become very slow, just when Ye Ren thought that his plan was about to succeed, suddenly some of the marching ants that became slow were torn apart by their stronger companions, and then these marching ants who tore apart their companions kept moving forward while constantly swallowing these stumps, because they were replenished with food, and soon their actions became very fast, and they were about to be thrown off by Ye Ren, but because of the new food supplement, the Amazon marching ant colony gradually caught up with Ye Ren's footsteps.
"What ......"
Ye Ren was also startled when he saw such a fierce behavior of the marching ants, in order to catch up with him, he actually cannibalized himself, Ye Ren couldn't understand that this kind of Amazon marching ants' hatred for himself had reached this kind of realm, could it really be immortal?
And it is this kind of terrifying attachment of Amazon marching ants, Ye Ren has almost never eaten much, and the energy consumption is very fast, after running for I don't know how long, although the number of marching ants has almost decreased by more than a half, but in comparison, Ye Ren is still more miserable, and the body has basically been consumed.
However, after Ye Ren fled for almost a few minutes, there was a sudden sound of water in the jungle ahead.
"Water!"
Ye Ren, who has a keen sense of hearing, suddenly brightened his eyes after hearing the sound of water, but he didn't expect that he actually found a river by mistake, maybe he would be saved now, so he raised his strength again, and it didn't take long to feel that the surrounding woods disappeared in vain, turning into a low shrub forest full of shrubs and grass, and then it was a very vast lake, Ye Ren jumped out of the woods, and plunged directly into the lake, splashing a big ripple.
The marching ants followed, Ye Ren had just jumped into the water, and the ant balls composed of marching ants quickly dispersed into a colony of ants, all of which surrounded the lake, but I don't know if it was because they were afraid of water, and the marching ants did not go directly into the water.
However, although the marching ant colony did not directly follow Ye Ren into the lake, the other animals that came to drink water at the lake at the moment were killed.
Animals that can fly or go into the water are fine, but they flee the moment the marching ants appear.
As for the beasts that can only run on land, it can almost be said that they have been wiped out, whether it is the agile ape, or the wild deer that sprint like flying, and even the large carnivores such as the cougar and the reticulated python have not escaped the sea of marching ants, and the terrifying man-eating ants that have been extremely hungry because of the long journey are naturally impossible to let go of these delicious meals delivered to the door at this moment.
