Chapter 146: Ecological Balance

"Look again, this beast doesn't seem to have any ill will towards us. ”

Convoy thought for a moment and said, the anteater giant beast is huge, and the sense of oppression brought by it is very strong, but for the whole 30 minutes, it has been licking and eating short-winged termites all over the ground, showing no interest in everyone.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the creature was so large and had long nails that it could barely walk on its knuckles to protect its long claws.

This makes them walk like a cripple, swaying, very slowly, almost like dragging their paws on the ground.

The creator is fair, and the power of the monster beast can be multiplied, but it also loses its agile attribute because of it.

Even if it suddenly attacks for a while, it will definitely not be able to catch up with the people who are running.

After making up their minds, everyone stayed where they were, carefully continuing to peep at the anteater behemoth.

The ant-eating giant beast licked and ate comfortably on the cone-shaped termite nest for about ten minutes, as if it was full, and then dragged the soles of its feet away contentedly, never looking at everyone from beginning to end.

The 5-meter-tall nest has been somewhat fragmented by it, and the short-winged termites that have survived sporadically crawl out of the nest to pick up the scattered soil around it and work hard to repair their homes.

Qiao Yang's gaze stayed 3 meters in front of the soil cone, in the direction where the queen ant was.

"Is it still there?" Qiao Yang asked.

Lu Weiying understood what he was asking, and after holding the ink demon and closing his eyes to feel it, he nodded slightly: "Hmm." ”

Qiao Yang was not surprised by this answer, from the first burning of the ant nest, to the later hunting of ant colonies, and then to the appearance of the ant-eating giant beast, the queen ant was safely hidden underground, without any movement, and had no intention of appearing.

At this moment, hiding deep underground, the queen of short-winged termites, as the supreme leader of the ant colony, shook her knee-like tentacles on the top of her head, sensed the departure of the giant beast on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It struggled to move its bloated body to find a comfortable position, and its fat abdomen, which was disproportionate to its head, slowly squirmed, giving birth to countless ant eggs.

There was a hint of human indifference in the queen's scarlet eyes, the war on the ground had nothing to do with it, only her thousands of children had died.

The meaning of the existence of the short-winged termite colony is to serve it as an ant.

Hmph, as a noble Zerg Empress, it's an emotionless fertility machine!

Thinking so, the queen sped up the wriggling of her abdomen and gave birth to more eggs.

At present, the number of ethnic groups has been seriously lost, and it is urgent to replenish it.

"Let's go, let's go back to the village. Seeing the anteater depart, Kanghong waved his hand, preparing to lead everyone back home.

Zhao Hanwu looked puzzled, looked at the ruined termite nest not far away, and said in confusion: "What about the short-winged termites, now is a good opportunity to destroy the nest!"

Qiao Yang glanced at the scattered termites who were busy repairing the nest, shook his head, and replied, "I don't think so, the ecology here is balanced." ”

"What do you mean?" Lin Xu also had a question.

"Short-winged termites have settled here, and they certainly don't appear out of thin air in a day or two, and after developing for so long, there is only one nest more than 5 meters high, which must be checked and balanced. ”

"As you saw just now, the anteater devours a large number of ants, and as a natural predator, it is it that limits the prosperity of the ant colony. ”

"Although we don't know how often anteaters forage for food, the rate at which termites develop suggests a delicate balance. ”

"Although short-winged termites are extremely harmful insects, they are also food for giant beasts, and now they cannot grow and develop, so they can't make any impact, so there is no problem in keeping them. ”

Qiao Yang hugged the exhausted Xiao Chi and slowly expounded his opinion.

"What about our task?" Zhao Hanwu was still very hesitant, he didn't care about anything else, but the task was related to the performance evaluation.

"Don't dwell on it, count it all perfect. ”

Kang Hong glanced at the students, especially Qiao Yang, who was worthy of being a member of the Demon Tamers Association, and his performance was very eye-catching.

He turned around and strode down the hill, then explained, "The purpose of the mission is to remove hidden dangers around the village, and since the ant nest is restricted by ant-eating giants, it is not a hidden danger. ”

Zhao Hanwu looked overjoyed, such a result was really happy.

The task is perfectly achieved, then there is nothing to be nostalgic for at all, so I hurriedly pulled up Lin Xu, who was still a little unknown, and kept up with the pace of the leader Kanghong.

Qiao Yang and Lu Weiying also followed, and at the end of the line, there were 5 soldiers.

The descent is much easier than the uphill, and it took only 4 hours to return to Huangmai Village, which took more than 6 hours.

The other 3 squads, who returned earlier than Qiao Yang's squad, had already rested in the village at this moment.

After some conversation, Qiao Yang found that his team's mission goal was the farthest, and the most recent mission goal was a team of 3 people from Class 17 to hunt and kill a carnivorous plant monster.

Due to the inconvenient movement of the plant monsters, and the proximity of the distance, they successfully solved it as early as last night and returned to the village.

Although Qiao Yang's group had the farthest mission, the episode of throwing out the corpse poisonous spider was the easiest one.

If you reach the top of the mountain and spot the ant-eating giant earlier, you can avoid even fighting.

And the hardest one can be regarded as another squad in Class 1.

Shen Muxue was among them, there were a lot of scraping-like scratches on the bare skin of her two arms, and the white wolf was even more seriously injured, and she was lying in a small farm yard to recuperate.

The other 3 students were not much better, with slight wounds in many places on their bodies.

Shen Muxue smiled bitterly and told Qiao Yang that their mission was to explore a waterhole.

Water is scarce in the mountains, there are no rivers or lakes, except for an ancient well in the village, and only the one where the stream from the top of the mountain converges into a pool.

The villagers are afraid to go to the waterhole to get water, where fierce monsters live.

In order to solve the problem of water shortage, the army chose to issue such a mission, but as soon as Shen Muxue and the others arrived at their destination, they were attacked by a fish full of sharp teeth in the waterhole.

This fish monster is particularly perverted, out of the water, and can also rely on jumping action on the shore, with sharp teeth and crazy bites, which makes them suffer a lot.

Qiao Yang sighed slightly, expressing deep sympathy for their plight.

Under the inquiry of Mentor Wang Jun, he promised to help make some healing potions.

Although the first mission is completed, there are still tasks to deal with next, and it will be very disadvantageous to carry injuries.

No matter what you say, you are also classmates, and there is not a single holy light demon beast among the people, so he has to make potions and make temporary guest appearances as nurses.
