Knowledge is the most valuable asset.

Holding the rich booty, Feng Bei, who went into the grass again to find a hiding place for himself, couldn't help but sigh so much.

His behavior just now seems to be very risky, but in fact he is as stable as an old dog, according to common sense, those soldier ants only need to divide a team to make Feng Sorrow doom, but Feng Sorrow is 100% sure in his heart that the soldier ants will never do this. His confidence is based on a deep understanding of ant colonies.

First of all, Feng Bei's action is stuck at a very clever point in time:

In order to resist the cold, ants gather together at night, rely on their nests and each other to keep warm, and squeeze each other into a dense airframe, which leads to a lot of dirty things on their bodies due to friction after the night;

If it's just like this, it doesn't matter, the key is that they rub around like this, rubbing each other's "pheromones" together, which is very unfavorable to group communication, so in the morning, they all can't wait to run out of the nest and clean up their bodies with their front paws.

The brain structure of ants is simple, it is a "single-threaded" creature, that is, it can only do one thing at a time, when they are immersed in the "scratching itch" and cannot extricate themselves, they will subconsciously ignore everything around them, even if the natural predator enters the warning distance, they will turn a blind eye and have no reaction. As long as you can kill them with a single blow, kill them before they feel pain, they are just immobile targets.

This kind of "single-threaded" brain is very common in the animal kingdom, not to mention insects, even cats and dogs with relatively advanced evolution, and those who have ever had a cat should know that as long as you feed the cat its favorite snacks, you can easily shave its hair, and the cat doesn't even know it's bald until it's finished......

Of course, it is not safe to just get stuck in the morning, because the ants come out of the nest early and late, and the speed of cleaning their bodies is fast and slow, and when the ants that come out late are still cleaning, the first batch of ants have already finished the "morning class" and are ready to start the busy work of the new day. If Feng Bei's hunting behavior is seen by these ants, it will inevitably be attacked by them.

In view of this, Feng Bei's choice of targets is also very particular, and those ants who were beheaded by him are all "slaves" of this ant colony.

Most people know that ants are a class society, there are classes such as queen ants, worker ants, soldier ants, male ants, etc., but few people know that in addition to these, there is also a special class in the big anthill - slave ants.

These slave ants are not the natives of the anthill, a small part of them are picked up by the soldier ants on the road, and most of them are looted when they break through other anthills. For ants, the fall of the anthill by its own people is more terrible than that of any other creature, and the remnants of the defeated side will suffer the tragic fate of being relegated to slavery.

All the dirty work of the ant colony will be undertaken by them, and any dangerous actions will be taken by them first, and the food ration is less than half of that of normal ants, and they can only barely maintain the situation of starvation.

The most terrifying thing is that the slave ants will be sprayed with pheromones by the victorious queens to control their minds, so that they will think from the bottom of their hearts that it is their honor to do their best for this new nest, and no matter how cruel and unfair the treatment they suffer, they will not have the slightest sense of resistance.

Feng Bei took advantage of this, he wandered around the ant colony for two or three minutes, just to observe the hind abdomen of those ants, due to long-term malnutrition, slow metabolism, and more toxin precipitation, slave ants are generally smaller than normal worker ants, and the color of the hind abdomen is darker.

The hunt went as smoothly as Feng Bei expected, and the slave ants who had already been brainwashed did not make any resistance, because death was not a relief for them, and the onlookers did not come forward because they were not their own people who died, but just some cheap and lowly consumables.

When a large number of ant corpses were stuffed into the soil hole, Feng Bei's mind, from time to time, would always flash the numb faces of those slave ants, and the terrifying sound of clattering and decapitating heads sounded around them, they were completely indifferent, and even when Feng Bei put the big knife on their "neck", they not only did not resist, but raised their heads slightly, so that it was convenient for Feng Bei to go under the knife, and at the same time, the chelicera on their faces trembled slightly, showing a flattering smile to Feng Bei!

There has never been such a moment when Feng Bei realized how advanced human beings are, how good human beings can have compassion, and how good human society can evolve the trend of humanitarianism and humanistic care!

Is this, O Light, what you have revealed to me?

As soon as this thought rose from the bottom of Feng Bei's heart, there were many more inexplicable feelings in his mind, and above the sky, a ray of pure gold holy light suddenly shot down, shining directly on Feng Bei's body, and it disappeared in a flash, and then it disappeared into his body. Bathed in this ray of holy light, the body of the wind and sorrow mantis became stronger and tighter, a faint golden light rose from the joints of the arthrops, and the double blades were sprinkled with a little Venus, and from a distance, it was like wearing a Cancer golden holy clothes!

This vision lasted for a second and then disappeared, the golden light dissipated, and Feng Bei was still the same ordinary mantis appearance, but feeling the surging power in his body, he knew that he was at least twice as strong as just now, and he was promoted from a first-level demonic beast to a ...... One point fifth-level Warcraft!

cough, no way, the foundation of the praying mantis's body is too poor, and it is not easy to make such great progress.

I vaguely understood how to go in the future, and decided to treat myself:

He took out a dozen ant corpses, shaved off the micro-fluff on them with his big knife, opened the intestines, removed the internal organs, removed the acid glands, and spent about three minutes cutting them into large and small slices of meat, and then he stacked those slices of meat on the blades of grass in order, and stacked them into the shape of "pagoda meat"!

Hey, plating!

After appreciating his masterpiece with satisfaction, and praying to himself, Feng Bei couldn't wait to bow his head, open the mouthpiece, and chew it in a big gulp!

It has to be said that ant meat is more elastic than beetle meat, and it tastes more chewy, which can improve the happiness of eating a lot.

After eating about two, Feng Bei filled his stomach, and waited for a while, but the system did not send any prompts, and Feng Bei asked tentatively in his heart:

"System, haven't I gained the Holy Light Comprehension again, why don't you reward me with a 'Return to the City Experience Card'?"

The system replied in seconds: "Dear host, in an experience, you can only go back to the city to rest once before the main quest is completed, I wish you a happy experience." ”

Happy fart!

After scolding, Feng Bei was not too depressed, this time the Holy Light comprehension was just an accident, whether there was or not, it would not affect his plan.

If you want to get to the "Praying Mantis Sanctuary" quickly and complete the main quest, you can't stop foraging for food along the way, and you must have plenty of food. Now that the food is available, there is only one question left:

How can you carry so many "loose pieces of meat" with you? Using magic to create a whirlwind like just now, it is okay to carry it at close range, and it is absolutely impossible to go a long way.

Thinking of this, Feng Bei raised his head and looked at the dense canopy, a smile appeared on his hideous face.
