Chapter 261: Survival in the Wild (1)

The outside world is once again visible from the brain through the compound eyes, and the protagonist wakes up from the confusion.

As soon as he woke up, he felt that he was in a very bad state, and there were convulsions and pain in his right hind limb, like the pain of cramps and lacerations at the same time.

So the protagonist tilts his head to see the injury in his leg, but it turns out that the muscles in his back are implicated, and there is a hot and hot pain in his back.

It is only then that the protagonist remembers what had happened before.

Where is this?

The protagonist looks around, and he is now sitting on a leaf that belongs to a swirling flower, and a round round golden sunflower-like flower blooms high above the protagonist's head. And under this leaf, at a height of about a decimeter, is the ground.

Apparently, the protagonist ends up on this leaf when he falls from the sky, relieving most of the momentum.

But looking at the dense trees around him, the protagonist can't be sure if he was bounced by various bullets and fell here.

Anyway, he felt that the injuries to his legs and back were worse than they were when he fought with the wasps.

The protagonist struggles to stand up and tries to take two steps, but his back is fine, as long as it doesn't involve it, it won't hurt too much. However, the right hind limb is obviously not good, as soon as it touches the ground and presses its weight on it, it is a convulsion and tingling.

Even so, the protagonist wants to struggle to get out quickly. He didn't know where he had fallen, but it must have been the north bank of the Great River, the territory of the rival Paving Ant Barbarians.

Moreover, looking at the surrounding environment, it is obvious that it is a dense forest. In the kingdom of the Big-Headed Ants, all the woods are dangerous, and there are more and bigger insects than the plains, as well as some ant tribes of other races who are not afraid to die. Even the big-headed ants with a large number of people will not easily step into the dark woodland.

Xiaoqing II can't count on it, and it is impossible for the Divine Envoy King's army to know his movements, and if he wants to survive, the protagonist can only rely on himself - a wounded himself.

The protagonist takes two steps and finds a position that is relatively relaxing and least painful. At this time, the advantage of the ant having six legs is reflected, the right hind limb is suspended in the air, and it can also have five legs to land on the ground. This posture is quirky, but it doesn't affect speed.

Now, the protagonist has to go down from the tiny leaves of the mulch.

He came to the grass stalk, and with the help of the fine fluff on the grass stalk, he crawled down little by little. But suddenly, I don't know which action involved my back, and a pain hit, and the protagonist grinned and let go of his hand.

As soon as the protagonist senses something is wrong, he falls to the ground. Although it was not high, the impact involved two wounds, and the protagonist had to take several breaths of air and hold it for a while before relieving himself.

Now, he was standing on the floor of the woods, where the light was dim and the sun could not be seen, and the protagonist could not guess what time it was, and how long he had been unconscious.

Fortunately, it was still daytime, and there was still a glimmer of light in the woods.

This forest is dominated by various trees, mainly locust trees, poplars and various pine trees, and there are many dead branches and leaves on the ground, and occasionally there are some small sunny clearings, and there are some wild grasses and new saplings that compete for light.

The spiral flower that the protagonist just left is one of them.

The protagonist looks and intuitively chooses a direction that he thinks is south. He is now on the north bank of the Great River, having fled east when Xiaoqing II was pursued by the Vespa. If you go all the way south, you will definitely find the big river, and then follow the river west to return to the "bridgehead".

That's what the protagonist has planned.

For the size of the ants, the litter in the woods is very difficult to pass, and the protagonist often has to climb over some large areas of dry leaves or thick dead branches, and every climb involves wounds, which is very uncomfortable.

But the protagonist didn't dare to stay, so he moved forward for a while, and saw a lot of small beetles, rat women, etc. in and out of the dead branches and leaves nearby. Although there are no dangerous fierce insects, they dare not take it lightly. You know, centipedes, scorpions, etc., also like to inhabit this loose layer of leaf litter.

The light is getting darker and darker, and the protagonist knows it's getting dark. He climbed over the obstacles all the way, and he walked a distance of dozens of meters, and God knows how far he was from the riverbank.

Now, you need to think about the overnight first, camping in the wild is not a good choice, and the small body of the protagonist is not enough to stuff the teeth of some nocturnal bugs. Although the protagonist still has all his strength, he can't be on guard all night, and he needs to rest well in order to heal his injuries.

Safe campsite, but where is it safe in such a wood?

The protagonist looks up and grits his teeth and climbs an arbor.

The protagonist recognizes that it is a camphor tree that is rare in the northern region, and generally lives in the south, or in the northern coastal areas. The tree prefers to grow on warm, fertile sunny slopes, valleys and riverbank flats, and is also common on hillsides or ravines.

The protagonist recognizes Camphor because he smells a special smell of camphor near it.

The smell that catches the protagonist's eye, which is not liked by the vast majority of insects, is the smell of chemicals such as pine oil dicyclic hydrocarbons, camphorene, citric hydrocarbons, and eugenol, which are abundant in the wood, leaves, or fruits of camphor wood, which is commonly known as camphor. These substances have the effect of purifying the air and repelling insects.

The protagonist grits his teeth and climbs up the cracks in the bark. The camphor tree can repel insects, and it must be relatively safe here, although the body of the protagonist also instinctively hates this smell, but in comparison, it is more important to live a small life.

By the time the protagonist finds a small crack in the bark and burrows into it, it's completely dark.

After settling down and being free of threat for a while, the protagonist feels a wave of hunger and thirst in his stomach. It's no wonder that the protagonist is different from other ants, who can not go hungry for a few days after a full meal, but the protagonist has to eat two or three meals a day to maintain his strength and drink a lot of water.

In the past, there were worker ants serving in the nest, and they basically opened their mouths for food, and never had to worry about food and drink.

Obviously not now, he hasn't eaten for a day, and the protagonist's stomach is on fire, and he wants to gnaw on the bark or trunk of a tree when he is uncomfortable. But he couldn't chew on it, and there was an unpalatable smell of camphor in all parts of the camphor tree, even the fruit.

The seeds of the camphor tree wrapped in the fruit are rich in oil, which has its special physiological and nutritional effects, but the protagonist can't gnaw on the shell.

In desperation, the protagonist can only sleep with his head bored and have a good meal in his sleep.
