0329 Divide and control
The day when I came to the Tianyuan Realm, not to mention the smooth sailing, but also soaring, when did my brother suffer such a big loss!
After Qin Chong's careful observation for a long time, although the Broken Army Ant is an ancient xenomorph ant, an ant is an ant, except for its size and strength, its living habits are not very different from ordinary ants.
In its colony, the queen ant is also the kind of individual that specializes in providing reproductive functions, and more importantly, to supply such a large ant colony, then the daily consumption of food is also very considerable, not to mention the small ants and queen ants to feed?
Therefore, there are dozens of squads of ants going to the distance to forage for food at all times, so if there is a way to let the ant colony pour out of the nest, and then cut off their retreat, or delay their movements, so that the defenses in the cave must be empty.
At that time, it is not impossible to go straight into the anthill and leave after catching the queen queen's royal jelly.
After several hours of topographical surveys, I already knew how to deal with creatures like the Broken Army Ants.
Three hours later, Qin Chong returned to the place where he was recuperating from his wounds, took out several large beasts from the spatial ring, and then poured the blood of these beasts directly from the entrance of the cave to the edge of the underground river, making the entire cave extremely bloody.
Then follow the way, bury the ant glands that were killed before, every other way, and mix some of the blood of wild beasts, until the area where ants are active, according to the habits of these broken army ants, as long as the sense of touch senses the breath of the same kind, they will definitely follow the smell to investigate, and then they will find the same kind of breath stained with the blood of wild beasts, and their simple brains naturally think that they have encountered large food (beasts).
So team after team of army breakers were lured into the natural cave connected to the underground river, which was the vicious part of Qin Chong's strategy.
He first placed a few dying beasts at a distance from the cave entrance where he could hear the wailing, and the smell of blood was the only reason why the ants would not take the bait.
Then there were large pieces of animal meat placed farther away, so for the creature of the army ant, it was really ants that feed on the sky, so they went deeper and deeper, and not only that, but many ants kept calling friends and calling for friends to drive into the cave one after another, despite the fact that the burrow was already full of ants.
However, it was not enough, after those ants reached a certain level, they would no longer go deeper, and no new ants would go down to the cave, at this time, Qin Chong would sacrifice the ultimate kill, of course, to provoke this group of ants.
He killed several broken army ants along the narrow underground river channel, and the worst thing was that he not only killed, but also blatantly divided the corpses, and then fled along the river after the ant colony reacted.
This is the lesson he learned from the experience of blood before, these army breakers are very vindictive, once a soldier ant is killed, the nearby ant colony will immediately rush to reinforcements through the pheromones it secretes, he is a defenseless, he thought that he was doing it unknowingly when he killed the ants, and he was deeply encircled.
Soon, a group of army breakers chased a human in a wild pursuit, due to the narrowness of the dark river, these army breakers could not take advantage of their flight, and could only follow closely behind.
At this time, Qin Chong would take these broken army ants to one of the countless underground passages formed by the underground river in this underground passage, and then return from the other secret passage to carry out another set of kite flying memorization.
There is no difference between day and night in the dungeon, even Qin Chong himself doesn't know how long this kind of thing has been done, and how many army breakers have entered this labyrinth-like underground passage.
only knew that there was no more army breakers to lure him, and the countless dark passages in the underground passage were almost all covered by army breakers, fortunately, the dark river passage was also far away, and he didn't know where it led, Qin Chong would not worry that those army breakers would find a way back.
So he not only put a few big trees at the entrance of the cave to ignite a raging fire, disrupting the possibility of ants returning the same way along the sense of smell, but also used the sword skill of "Taixuan Wentian", under dozens of swords, directly collapsed a nearby hill and blocked the entrance of the cave. Completely solve the worries.
Along the way, there was no more obstacles, only when they reached the vicinity of the cave, twenty or thirty army breakers appeared sparsely, but for Qin Chong, the threat posed by twenty or thirty army breakers had been completely reduced to an acceptable level.
So after some differentiation and encroachment, after successfully killing these broken army ants guarding the house, Qin Chong drove straight in, pointing at the ant nest!
When planning this action, Qin Chong also did his homework, although he did not really observe this group of army breakers in depth, Qin Chong still retrieved all the information about ants in the database, and made a differentiated understanding of the commonality of this powerful creature.
The underground nest where ants live consists of a series of interconnected basements that are connected to the ground through passages. As Qin Chong deepened, various functional chambers appeared in front of him: similar to food storage rooms, nursery nests, tunnels, chambers, breeding rooms, and shelters.......... crisscrossed and extended in all directions, just like a small model of a town.
Because the size of the Breaker is not much different from that of the lion and tiger, the burrows and passages are tall and spacious, and they are very smooth and flat.
In the face of such a huge building complex, it is not easy to find the queen ant, of course, for Qin Chong, there is no good way, only to see one step at a time, fortunately, the soldier ants who are threatened by the entire ant colony have been trapped in the underground dark river, and it is completely impossible to get out without ten days and half a month, and he has a lot of time to squander.
The ant colony is a group with a very clear division of labor, and all the soldiers and worker ants who foraged outside before were soldiers, because of the huge amount of food of this group of army ants, it is not only the soldier ants who go out to participate in the battle, but also the worker ants who are responsible for transporting food, so the small number of worker ants that remain in the nest at the moment are naturally those small number of worker ants.
Worker ants are generally the smallest individuals in the colony, with well-developed palates, antennae, and three pairs of thoracic feet, and are good at walking. Worker ants are females that are not capable of reproduction. The main duties of worker ants are to build, enlarge and defend nests, collect food, feed young ants and queens, etc.
And Qin Chong passed by several places similar to food storage rooms, and also found a few worker ants hanging upside down on the burrow, he was very strange, and hurriedly looked up the database for comparison, and after a long search, he found a similar ant species information.
It turned out that this worker ant was used as a living storage tank. This worker ant collects a large amount of nectar, swallows it into the body and ferments until the body becomes large, and then the fermented object in the body is called honeydew.
This honeydew is a daily staple for the queen and queen, similar to biological hormones, and these are essential for the queen and queen ants to spend most of the day on the pop.
So they hang themselves on the ceiling of their nests until the queen summons them to eat the honeydew stored in their bodies. Usually in a state similar to hibernation.
Qin Chong was overjoyed when he saw it, and it really didn't take any effort to get it. Hiding outside this small room at the moment, a few wisps of sword qi rushed and quietly woke up the three such honeydew storage jars.
After the three honeydew storage tanks woke up, because the ant colony relied on touch and pheromone activities in the nest, they touched each other with the tentacles on their heads, of course, it was impossible to get any useful information, but they only had a few simple consciousnesses, and since they woke up, it was time to feed the queen ant, so they touched each other with the tentacles on their heads, and walked out of their storage room.
Qin Chong was naturally not far away, and he was attached to the back.
Continuing to move forward for about a pillar of incense, the three honeydew storage jars turned into a huge cave, which immediately gave Qin Zhong a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
At this time, the passage of the ant nest was empty, only the three honeydew storage tanks, and the bloated bodies of the three worker ants looked particularly deserted in this empty passage.
