Episode 292 Horned lizard by the pond

"Slug Xiaomoss, you've been here for quite a few days, have you ever seen a scout of the marching ants?"

Yu Qiyun saw that the red slug had shown an expression of awe and trust in him, and took the opportunity to ask again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this question is estimated to be a rookie, and a trace of contempt flashed in the slimy little eyes of the slug Xiaomos, she squirmed her body at a comfortable angle, and glanced at Yu Qiyun, then she pursed her needle mouth and said slowly:

"There are no scouts for the marching ants, they only have an advance brigade, in our twilight Gobi, the marching ant tribe has a total of 50 million people, in addition to the main force to follow in the rear, they set up 50 advance brigades in the front, each advance brigade has 10,000 people!"

"That's right!" Prince Akuhara nodded his tentacles.

These answers made Yu Qiyun dumbfounded.

Princess Haruba's tentacles trembled even more in surprise, because in Ant Valley, any ant tribe has the setting of scouts, whether it is foraging or fighting, you must first send a team of people to investigate the situation, and then leave a smell signal all the way for the team to follow.

The so-called reconnaissance is carried out quietly and secretly, so as not to startle the prey and the enemy, so the number of people is often not too large, and 100 people are considered to be the top.

And the marching ants are really generous, and the one who takes the lead is sent out with 10,000 people, and in this sense, it really can't be a scout.

Yu Qiyun touched his chin and whispered:

"It's stupid for these marching ants to do this, aren't they afraid to scare the prey away at once?"

The image of a muscular and simple-minded super fierce woman slowly emerged in his mind.

"No!" said one voice flatly.

It is the prince of Cangyuan, although Yu Qiyun has known him for less than half a day, he knows this prince, his personality is quite calm, he generally does not speak, and when he speaks, he is targeted.

This is the opposite of the crooked spring leaves.

Then the prince said:

"For they run faster than the wind, lighter than fallen leaves, with great fanfare but silently, and when you suddenly find them, the black teeth of the marching ants are already on your neck. ”

When they said this, both Yu Qiyun and Princess Chunye began to tremble a little when they heard Prince Cangyuan's tone.

"I'm not afraid!

Princess Haruba pursed her lips, still the same old saying.

Prince Cangyuan stared at this girl sharply, couldn't help sneering, his mouth moved, and he swallowed what he wanted to say again, but his expression was clearly saying: Stinky girl!

……

Wave your hand at the red snot slug.

Say goodbye to this little brother or little sister.

Yu Qiyun and the three of them went all the way south, still sticking to the stones to do surfing. Both the termite prince and the ant princess have their antennae turned 360 degrees, searching for the breath left behind by the marching ants.

At this moment, it was already noon in the Gobi at dusk.

Because there are mostly stones and yellow sand here, flowers and trees are very scarce, and the scorching sun overhead, like an upside-down stove, roasted Princess Chunye under Yu Qiyun shouted all the way:

"I can't stand it!

Yu Qiyun also felt that his mouth was dry, he was in too much hurry today, and he forgot to bring bottled water, so he couldn't help but turn his face and ask Prince Cangyuan, who was flying quietly on the side:

"Is there any water here? Let's drink saliva first!"

Prince Cangyuan didn't speak, suddenly flew into the sky, and fell at a rapid speed, only then did he answer Yu Qiyun's question just now:

"Turn left ahead and fly for another 5 minutes, there is a small pond, but there is a horned lizard there for many years. ”

Yu Qiyun asked, "What the hell is a horned lizard? Do you eat termites and ants?"

"The horned lizard is a dryland lizard with a diamond on its head, it is very fierce and cunning, and he will eat anything that moves in front of him. ”

The words of the termite prince made Yu Qiyun frown, and the irritability in his heart made him feel even more thirsty, and he asked unwillingly:

"There's no other water source here?"

Termite Prince: "Of course, but it's a few hours away from here, and we don't have enough time today." ”

"Just go to that pond, we will fly, afraid of a bird!" Princess Haruba saw that the two big men drank saliva and were inked for a long time, and their tentacles were so angry that they were about to break.

The termite prince looked at Haruka coldly, and didn't speak, he hated this girl more and more now, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Otherwise, go and see, maybe that horned lizard has been eaten by the marching ants. ”

This is Yu Qiyun's suggestion, his throat is about to smoke, and if he doesn't drink some water, he feels like he's going to faint.

Prince Cangyuan had no choice but to shrug helplessly.

……

After 5 minutes.

Yu Qiyun's casual joke really worked, when they rushed to the small pond surrounded by weeds.

A huge dinosaur-like skeleton stood tall by the pond, and in the scorching sunlight, Yu Qiyun's cold hair stood on end, because he didn't smell blood, and he could clearly see the blood stains left in the cracks of the skeleton.

Princess Chunye was so frightened that her wings rolled in the air, and an inexplicable dive made Yu Qiyun on her back swoop to the ground unexpectedly, and fell into a.

The prince of Cangyuan slowly flew to the ground, surrounded the huge horned lizard skeleton, and walked slowly around, his tentacles kept stirring, and his expression was extremely cold:

"Sure enough, it's them!"

Yu Qiyun rubbed his aching chin and walked under the skeleton, sniffed it with his nose, and sure enough, he smelled a faint smell of ant urine, and couldn't help sneezing.

I saw Princess Haruba trembling over, looking at this huge skeleton that was 10 stories high in a daze, the white bones were bloodstained, which was shocking.

It's the work of marching ants!

Princess Haruba's two legs are playing a peculiar beat, the first time in her life to see such a bloody scene, for her who is not suitable for children, the psychological shadow area is calculated in square kilometers.

……

Yu Qiyun touched the blood stains on the white bones of the horned lizard with his hand, twisted it with his fingers, and muttered:

"The blood was still fresh, and it must have been in the morning that the horned lizard was killed by marching ants. ”

Prince Cangyuan dotted his tentacles:

"Just 1 hour and 16 minutes ago. ”

The surprised flowers on Yu Qiyun's face bloomed one by one:, the tentacles of termites are sensitive to this point.

Haruka seemed to have finally woken up from her fright, and she bent down and circled the skeleton of the horned lizard like Prince Cangyuan, she wanted to familiarize herself with the smell of marching ants.

In nature, each type of ant has its own unique smell, because ants are not very eyesight, like marching ants are almost blind, so smell is the only way for them to distinguish between friend and foe.

A pond next to the skeleton.

About the size of two football fields, you can see the bottom clearly, and it is conceivable that many insects passing by the Gobi at dusk will smell the smell of water and come here to drink.

And when they are drunk, the horned lizard, which has been lurking in the grass for a long time, will leap out like a lion squatting on the banks of the Nile River in Africa!

The corners of Yu Qiyun's mouth flew.

In this sense, the marching ants have eliminated the people, and at least, the three of them can now drink from the pond in peace. (To be continued.) )
