Chapter 40: Tactics
Imagine that if you eat the ant team that comes to carry it, if you don't leave a live mouth, there will be no more ants, and if you keep a live mouth, the ants will know that this place is dangerous, and after this kind of information is transmitted in the population, the ants will either not come again, or they will come, and it will be a huge army.
Feng Bei is not this idea at all, what he is doing at this time is very simple, to put it bluntly, is to find a large enough ant nest.
The first thing the little ant sees is the small corpse piece, when it goes back to call the same clan, the number of people who come is bound to not be too much, and when they turn back, they find that the corpse is not as large as the little ant described, so that the ants can't move away at all, which is equivalent to running in vain, which is bound to reduce the ant credit of the little ant in the ant colony.
Ants are hierarchical and social creatures, and once an individual is labeled as "untrustworthy", it will encounter very terrifying things. In order to save his ant credit, the little ant had only two options:
If their nest is large enough, it will call its fellow again, this time in large numbers, far more than is needed to carry large corpses, because it cannot afford to have its credit lowered again;
If the size of their nest is not large, then these ants will bite off some of the corpses as much as possible and take them away, so as not to run away from the empty car.
The latter possibility is not what Feng Bei needs, if the ants do this, then kill them all, and wait for the other nest detection ants to find the corpses; if the former possibility happens, Feng Bei will lead the praying mantis, follow the little ants to its "home", waiting for the opportunity to attack!
At this time, in the ant nest, a large part of the ants were called away and carried away the prey in the distance, and there was very little remaining garrison force, which can be said to be the weakest and most vulnerable to invasion!
The strategy itself is not complicated, but in the simple Warcraft world, even a simple plan to "divert the tiger from the mountain" has a nine-in-ten chance of success!
I don't know if the rotten pliers can comprehend the essence of this strategy, but it doesn't matter, even if you don't understand, as long as you can learn from the cat and draw the tiger, it is enough to lead the great mantis to live well!
Just when Feng Bei was thinking like this, the little ant who had gone away before came back with a long line of ants!
The little ant walked in the front, turning its head and waving its tentacles as it walked, as if to explain the situation to the "captain" behind it, and when it turned its head to look forward, it couldn't help but be stunned:
What's going on? Is the piece of meat that was put here that big?
After carefully distinguishing the smell, he found that it was indeed the place where he left a mark, and the little ant was at a loss:
It's nice that the food gets bigger on its own, but ...... The same clan has come so much, and they can't be transported away at all!
The other ants also quickly understood, and there was immediately a slight commotion in the group, and the big pincers on the forehead of the leader opened and closed, and glanced back at the group of ants, and all the noise disappeared in an instant.
Deterred his subordinates, turned his head with some satisfaction, the captain ant stared at the little ant with a cold face, the tentacles swung a few times, looking very vicious, the little ants trembled with fear, and kept shaking the tentacles, as if they were explaining something to themselves.
After all, it was the hero who found a lot of food, and the captain ant did not kill the little ant who provided "wrong information", but stabbed the little ant with the big tongs on his forehead and threw it out directly!
The little ant that was thrown off struggled to get up, and didn't have time to clean up his wounds, so he immediately ran back to the way he came, obviously to call his companion again, it was extremely fast this time, much faster than the last time he returned to the nest, because the captain ant injected formic acid into its body, and its inner abdomen was like a fire at this time, and only the queen ant could relieve its pain!
"Let's go!"
After he let out a low shout, he took the lead and came to the place where the little ant had left, and after distinguishing it, he slowly chased after the traces on the ground. The other praying mantis also followed the same example, following Feng Bei in groups, the overall speed was not fast, but it was not so bad that the little ants were lost.
After walking for about ten minutes, passing through a few dense grasses, Feng Bei's eyes suddenly opened up:
Not far away, in the glade, an ant nest like a bulging hill lies quietly there! The top of the ant nest is covered with dead branches and leaves, and if you don't look closely, you may not notice it!
From time to time, there are one or two teams of ants in and out of the anthill, which should be fulfilling the duty of guarding, and when Feng Bei and other praying mantis arrived, he happened to see from a distance that the ant credit was greatly reduced, and the little ant rushed in!
From the outside, it can be clearly seen that on the hill above the anthill, fine dust is slowly sliding downward, which indicates that there is a team of very neat and elite soldier ants or worker ants in the ant department, which is coming out of it!
Soon, Feng Bei saw them: an army of black and pressed ants! Every ant in it was oily and slippery, and they were huge, and the half-moon pincers on their heads reflected the cold moonlight, adding a bit of chill! Anyone could see that this team of ants was definitely the core force in the anthill, and under the leadership of the little ant, they ran violently towards the place where they found food, all the way to the insects and insects, and the beasts to drive the beasts, which looked extremely arrogant!
There's nothing wrong with it, ants, in the wild insect world, it's so domineering!
Feng Bei was very pleased, his plan was even better than expected, and after leaving this team of elites, there was definitely not much defense left in the anthill!
Seeing those big ants walking away, Feng Bei immediately led the praying mantis to come out and shouted:
"Dig! From the direction of the anthill entrance, dig diagonally downward!
My people, use the skills you have honed when digging up beer bottles, and I promise you that you will reap an unimaginable amount of food by digging down half a meter at most!"
As soon as the holy envoy said this, the praying mantis instantly became excited, they lined up in three columns, shook off their big knives, and according to Feng Bei's instructions, from the back of the anthill entrance, diagonally down forty-five degrees, and dug frantically! Because they were full of great mantis and had great strength, their digging speed was very fast, and it only took less than ten minutes to successfully dig down thirty centimeters!
Among them, the sluggish scythe dug the hardest, before it was eroded by evil energy, the mutated position was two knife arms, even if it had returned to normal at this time, the knife arms were still significantly larger than ordinary mantises. It was struggling to chisel at the front, digging very solid every time, cutting off a lot of dirt! Just when it was about to dig two more knives and take a break, it suddenly felt a light "hand"!
With a hollow sound, the earth wall in front of the sluggish scythe shattered itself, revealing a hollowed-out earth hole! In the earth hole, a huge ant with a very long back belly was lying there, squirming with difficulty, and around it, there were countless insect eggs, almost covering the entire earth hole!
