Chapter 698: Red Ants
Mangroves are best suited for beach growth, with a row of coconut trees beyond the shallows, and the occasional crab poking out of its hole in the sand with pincers and a pair of small matchstick eyes looking around. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Someone naturally started Xiao Jiujiu, and Ackerman looked left and right: "It's not that you came up to investigate, everything is normal here, so can we go back?" ”
Cheng Qianxun sneered and tilted his head back: "If you want to go back, go back, I want to hide in the forest." ”
Now Ackerman and the others looked back and saw that the octopuses had almost eaten the corpses, and there was not much meat to eat, and they began to swim towards the island. After a few days of tossing and tear, there should still be about 4,000 of them, all of which are like unjust souls and swimming here.
If you want to do anything, run for your life quickly, if you don't run for your life, it'll be too late. God knows how far these octopuses can climb on the beach and how fast they can climb.
Gordon led the group and began to run into the woods. After the mangroves and coconut palms, it resembles a tropical rainforest.
"Don't, don't run!" Ackerman ran out of breath, holding his knees with his hands and "snorting": "Don't run, will they chase after you?" ”
But the others bypassed him one by one, and just followed Gordon to flee for his life, and Ackerman looked back to see the wide, dense trees and grass in the distance shaking and rustling. The octopus really chased after him, and he was so frightened that he moved his fat legs and continued to escape.
Escaping this way is not a problem, and these octopuses can survive without water for a day or two, or even longer. Gordon stopped and looked up at the tall, lush, vine-covered trees: "Climb up." ”
So everyone began to climb up desperately, climbing trees is not Cheng Qianxun's strong point, Sneijder and Gordon immediately took out the rope at the same time, and the two only glanced at each other.
"I'll come, I'm better at climbing trees than you." Gordon put the rope around Cheng Chihiro's waist, quickly tied a knot, and began to climb the tree.
Under Gordon's traction, Cheng Qianxun grabbed everything he could grasp and finally could barely climb up.
When I climbed to the top of the place, I saw that the octopuses were like spiders, but they jumped out one by one. Finding that the "prey" in front of them was gone, they stared at Youlan's eyes wide and searched around. When Ichijo's gaze touched the man in the tree, it squeaked and pounced, and its eight claws interacted with each other and quickly climbed up the tree. When the other octopuses found it, they immediately looked like hungry wolves seeing fresh meat, and they climbed up the trees one after another.
Unable to hide, Rudolph stood up abruptly and shouted, "Stick an iron rod into their heads!" ”
There is the place where the octopus has the most nerves, equivalent to its brain, and in the face of these things like Martians invading the earth, everyone stands on the branches, holds the iron rod in their hands, and condescendingly stabs at the heads of the octopuses that climb up one by one.
"Squeak~" Every time an octopus was stabbed, it fell down the tree and landed heavily on the ground that was a little muddy.
If you want to survive, you have to participate in the battle, and Cheng Qianxun also took an iron rod and stabbed him one by one.
"Help, ah~" Ackerman on the other side shouted, he didn't have time to look at his clumsy appearance, anyway, whether he could survive or not, it depended on luck. The bottom of the tree is already covered with octopus, almost covering the area of twenty square meters, the feeling of black oppression, the eyes of Youlan, can make people desperate.
"Ah~" Someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Ants, there are a lot of red ants here, bite me to death!" ”
Ackerman also cried out, he was on the same tree: "Bite me too!" It's a marching ant, a lot of big ones. Hurry up and see where their old nest is. ”
"What the hell is the lair, I'm not a biologist!" A man roared, and the trunk of the tree on which they were standing had been made red by ants as if it were red paint.
"Where there are the most ants, there are the queens. Poke the queen down with a stick, and the other ants will go down! Hurry up, or we'll be eaten by ants if we don't get eaten by octopuses! Ackerman and another man were embarrassed by the slump on the branch, but the octopus on the trunk was bitten and fled under the tree.
"Marching ants?" Gordon took a closer look, and saw a huge red honeycomb on another tree, like a very large red hornet's nest! He tried to poke, but it was too far away.
"I'm coming!" Rudolph pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at it.
With a gunshot, the "red hornet's nest" actually exploded a corner, and it turned out that the entire "hornet's nest" was built by countless ants entangled with each other.
Rudolph fired two more shots at the branches above where they had gathered, and the branches were smashed into sawdust, and the "hornet's nest" also fell down the tree entirely, and after falling to the ground, it made a slight sound of "poof~", like rotten tomatoes smashing on the ground. But unlike Rotten Tomatoes, it's not juice, it's a myriad of fiery ants.
As soon as they fell to the ground, they pounced like madness on the octopuses that were rampaging everywhere. Now the octopus is miserable, three or four thousand octopuses, close to the nearest began to roll on the ground.
Cheng Qianxun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and subconsciously slapped it with his hand, and when he put his hand in front of his eyes, there was a pool of blood in the palm of his hand, and in the center of the blood stain was a red ant that was flattened. It was about accidentally falling on her neck, and that one was so powerful, no wonder these octopuses began to run away like bears stung by wasps.
As long as you escape to the sea and immerse yourself in the water, you can get rid of the ants.
"Hurry up and help me get it, ah, it hurts me to death~" Ackerman shouted, and the other two took off their shirts, rubbed on the trunk of the tree, and slapped each other at the ants biting on the flesh.
After making sure that all the ants were going to harass the octopus and not speak to humans for a while, everyone climbed down from the tree.
His neck hurt so badly that Cheng Qianxun was so painful that he didn't even dare to touch his fingers.
"Let me see." Sneijder gently lifted her collar and frowned pitifully when he looked inside: "Why is it swollen like this?" It's about poisonous, I'll help you squeeze out some blood, endure it. ”
"Wait!" Gordon stopped, and after looking left and right, he plucked some unknown grass from the root of the tree, stuffed it in his mouth, chewed it, and took it out, and put it on the spot where she had been bitten, along with the juice.
As if it didn't hurt so much, she nodded: "It seems to be useful, thank you." ”
"It hurts me, it hurts!" Ackerman and the other two were swollen like pigs' heads, with little red bumps on their bodies. Whatever it was, he just lay in a puddle next to him, rolling in dirty water, trying to use water to cool down and relieve pain.
Cheng Qianxun had a deep understanding, she was bitten, and the pain was like a fever. And Ackerman they have more than a dozen bites, of course.
"Pull them over." Gordon hurriedly picked some more herbs and distributed them to the other three: "You guys are responsible for biting and rubbing on their wounds. ”
The three of them saw that Gordon had just done this, proving that the herbs were not poisonous, so they all stuffed them in their mouths, and after chewing a few times, their faces wrinkled.
"It's bitter, but it must be chewed, apply it quickly, and people don't need to be saved when it's late." Gordon just cautiously walked around the red ants that were still crawling on the ground: "Leave when you're done, don't wait for these marching ants to come back." ”
"Why is it so powerful?" Ackerman applied herbs and relieved the pain too much, but his face and lips were so swollen that his speech was slightly slurred, and he and the other two people could only limp away with the help of the people who went with him: "No matter how powerful the marching ants are, they can't do this." ”
"Why not? A tropical marching ant, of this size, can bite a ploughing ox into its bones in fifteen minutes. But the poisonous marching ants are relatively rare, and they are not that big. Gordon led the way, occasionally holding a machete in his hand and cutting off branches that stood in his way, so that he might also be frightened of the tropical snakes entrenched in the trees. Just now, in order to escape for their lives, regardless of whether they could go or not, everyone ran and crawled and was embarrassed.
"That's a fight with those octopuses." Regel collects axes, iron rods, and the like that have fallen along the way. The ants were indeed as big as a finger, each as long as half a finger, and as long as a scorpion.
Sneijder helped Cheng Qianxun to follow, and asked worriedly from time to time, "Does it still hurt, are you okay?" ”
She smiled and shook her head, her neck still hurting a little, as if she had been stung by a bee. And the pain just now, it was simply cutting meat. About the ant's sharp teeth are biting her flesh.
As soon as I walked out of the woods, I saw that the cruise ship had run aground in the knee-deep shallows. And the octopus... One by one, they all floated on the surface of the sea, their bodies swollen, and their original purple-brown and black-brown colors turned into a gray-white color like swollen rotting corpses.
Albert and the other survivors were getting out of the boat, climbing straight down the safety ladder and stepping on the octopus carcasses to the beach.
"What is this?" There are too many questions about how such a large cruise ship can sail on a shallow shoal.
Albert said helplessly: "I don't know how this ship floated all the way here." ”
A lot of things can't be explained, well, look around at the octopus carcass again. As the sea washes away, the carcass of the octopus is constantly pushed onto the beach, and it also carries with it the carcass of many red marching ants.
Albert looked around at the scene: "Finally this is good news, octopuses are afraid of these ants, and ants are afraid of seawater. ”
So many octopuses, all dead at once? Quite a few laughed and hugged each other and let out cheers. (To be continued.) )
