Chapter 335: Life hangs by a thread
Soon the dwarf realizes that he is wrong, or the kind that is very wrong.
Just because the rag went home empty-handed doesn't mean it's a failure.
A large swarm of giant bees holding figs followed behind the rag, and the roar of their wings grew louder and louder, like the thunder before a summer storm.
The group of giant bees came to the junction of the Forest of Words and the Farm under the guidance of the rag, and the closer they got to the edge of the forest, the more sparse the surrounding trees became, and many of the giant bees began to go berserk, and the worry of the unfamiliar environment increased their worries and suspicions, which could have stopped them......
The giant bees that have lived in the depths of this forest of words for generations, they are a species unique to this forest, and the forest gives them a natural sense of security, and they will not leave the forest for the rest of their lives if they are not led by a rag.
Seeing that the giant bees that had been following him all the way began to awaken their self-consciousness at the last moment, and did not continue to act according to their instructions, this made the rag, which was eager to behave well in front of its master, very dissatisfied, it swallowed the shrimp meat in two bites, quickly turned around, and flew towards the swarm of bees gathered at the edge of the forest.
The "buzzing ......" rag emits a rhythmic roar and is accompanied by a dazzling string of fancy flutters, as if to put pressure on the swarm to do what it commands.
For the first time, the column composed of neat giant bees was in chaos, and for a while, the original neat formation disappeared, and all the giant bees were in a mess.
For bees, an insect with a clear social division of labor and a clear hierarchy, the queen's orders are the supreme authority. But the world outside the Forest of Words is full of pressure and danger for them, and every extra centimeter of flying forward towards the unknown world in a safe area feels a lot more stressful.
The nature of obedience to orders and the instinct of survival begin to oppose each other, which creates confusion in cognition.
Some of the giant bees that obey the orders will advance slightly faster, and the giant bees with a strong sense of survival will move slowly, and some even begin to retreat quietly into the forest, but the bees that occupy the majority are still "neutrals", just like the people at the two poles in human society are only a minority in terms of the total number, and most people are still centrists adhering to the "golden mean".
These centrist giant bees actually seem the most anxious, they have neither the courage to move forward, nor can they simply obey their hearts to confront authority, under two kinds of huge pressure, their performance is also very nonsensical - stay in place and go in circles, neither forward nor backward, but looking at their crazy circle, even Chang Zhaowen began to be a little worried, such a high-intensity circle, if they are allowed to go around for a long time without interference, they will soon fall to the ground due to physical exhaustion.
Chang Zhaowen hadn't worried for a second about whether his killing would bring a devastating blow to the bee colony when he fought with the giant bees before, but this time the situation was different, and the number of giant bees attracted by the rag was too many.
Although Chang Zhaowen doesn't know much about the biological chain relationship in the textual forest, if such a large number of giant bees are all lost here, I am afraid it will have a considerable impact on the ecology of the forest.
He just wanted to get some figs to cook, and he didn't want to do that stupid thing of killing chickens and eggs.
The "buzzing ......" rag approached the swarm of bees hovering in the air and no longer flying forward, and the flying movements became more and more frenzied, as if urging the other party.
Finally, there was a problem with the black cloud formed by the giant bees huddled together, and many giant bees were squeezed by the same kind of dense flight on the left and right, or because of excessive pressure, and finally couldn't bear it, and fell to the ground crackling, and purple-red figs rolled all over the ground.
As the rag approached, some giant bees began to be confused, and they obviously felt the abnormality of today's queen bee.
Finally, a giant bee that is a third larger than the other giant bees has noticed the problem with the queen bee - smell! They are familiar with the queen bee with only the sweetness of honey and the fragrance of pollen, but this queen bee is mixed with an indescribable strange smell, which is a faint smell of sea, and this smell should never be seen in bees!
All the abnormal behaviors of the queen bee today are all linked, and this big giant bee has finally come to a conclusion - this queen bee is fake!
It let out a short and high-pitched sound, and with a "brush" sound, it flashed the spikes with cold light on its tail, arched its body, adjusted the tail spurs that were originally facing the rear to face forward, and accelerated the speed of its flight, at this moment the sharp spikes turned into a bolt of lightning, and it was like a flying knife, mercilessly killing the rag not far away!
"Oops!" Chang Zhaowen chuckled in his heart, goof! It must be that the Pipi shrimp meat that was just rewarded to the rag is broken!
In the face of the assassin's momentum, the rag seemed unusually calm and calm, and it calmly faced the other party neither retreated, nor flinched, let alone showed its weapons.
"Is the rag stupid? It's all already goofed and you haven't escaped? Its body can't change, and it's impossible to pull out a poisonous needle to confront the other party, it's waiting for death! Although the dwarf didn't know what had happened in the forest before the rag, he had also strung together the whole story from the confrontation between the rag and the swarm.
The rag knows the strength and speed of these giant bees better than everyone, especially the one like the one it attacked, it can stand out in the huge number of bee colonies, which shows that his strength, speed and even wisdom are far ahead, it can't escape, as long as it escapes, it will definitely make other giant bees realize that they have been deceived, and when the time comes, they will attack it in groups, and they don't know how to die.
The rag didn't retreat, it looked extremely calm in the face of the glittering spike, but it danced in the air again, this was a new order.
This order was much easier to accept than having the giant bee immediately forest, as long as it flew to a small mound at the edge of the forest and dropped the figs.
With this order, the originally chaotic bee colony began to restore order again, and formed a new queue by itself, flying towards the mound in unison, and this mound showed a certain slope, and the round fruits fell on the mound and naturally rolled low under the inspiration of gravity, and finally these figs naturally rolled out of the forest, which was simply a natural conveyor belt.
The giant bee that killed the rag violently at this moment can already determine that the "queen bee" in front of him is definitely an impostor, although the other party no longer poses a threat to the survival of the entire bee colony, but it is not ready to let this guy go, even if the use of bee needles means that he loses his life, but it can eradicate the potential threat for the group, it is worth it!
