Chapter 116: Silk Thread

The protagonist subdues the strange worker ant, and Xiaoqing still doesn't understand what happened.

At this time, the protagonist discovers a terrifying thing.

When the strange worker ant is held down by the protagonist's head, and it is pressed to the ground tightly and cannot move.

The three long silk threads on her back, as if sensing something, suddenly broke away from the body of the worker ant.

These threads seem to have life, like swimming snakes, crawling along the leaf surface at their feet towards the protagonist.

"What is this?"

The protagonist is shocked, he thought that these three silk threads were the fibers that the worker ants accidentally got on some plant, but at present, it seems that this is by no means a harmless plant.

The speed of the three silk threads is not fast, but they are firmly serpenting in the direction of the protagonist.

In the face of this strange creature, the protagonist's heart is filled with a sense of extreme fear.

This fear should not have been the result of the small, slow thread of silk that should arise when opposite.

Even in the face of the army of tens of thousands of paving ant barbarians, the protagonist has never experienced this kind of fear.

If I had to describe it, then this fear is like a mouse seeing a cat, or an antelope seeing a cheetah. It is the prey's fear of the predator that is ingrained in its genes.

Just as few people have been bitten by a snake, the fear of snakes and the hatred that comes with them are firmly rooted in the human heart.

The Bible says, "I will make enmity between you (the serpent) against the woman, and your seed against the seed of the woman, and the seed of the woman against your head, and you will break her heel." ”

At this moment, the protagonist sees this snake-like silk thread, and for some reason he thinks of snakes.

The protagonist stuns the worker ants who are still trying to wriggle and struggle with a heavy punch, and then retreats step by step, widening the distance from the wandering silk thread.

From time to time, these threads raise their heads like snakes, as if looking at something, or sniffing something. Then, the silk thread can always accurately grasp the direction of the protagonist and continue to approach.

The protagonist escapes twice around the fainted worker ants, and out of curiosity, he doesn't run away, but wants to see what these strange silk threads want to do.

Later, the protagonist, who regretted it so much, realized that he was dying.

After two laps, the threads crawled slower and slower, and gradually became tired.

After that, the silk threads seemed to have a heart, and they gave up the pursuit of the protagonist while tacitly understanding. They crawled back onto the fainted worker ants.

At this time, the protagonist discovers that these silk threads have pierced a quarter of the body through the stomata and carapace crevices of the worker ants.

A chill welled up in my heart - it was clearly some parasitic creature.

However, it does not seem to be a parasite, and although the parasite also has a slender pork polyester, it always has some characteristics of insects.

And these silk threads are completely filamentous, not enough for any exposed organs.

The silk threads that crawled back to the fainted worker ants were still lying on the ground softly at first, but soon, the silk threads slowly stood up again, and the tips began to fly in the wind.

Considering the slow movement of these threads, there is no danger if you pay extra attention. So the protagonist is ready to carefully lean over and study.

At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound that grew louder and louder on the back of the leaves.

When the protagonist looks back, three worker ants emerge from the edge of the leaf, and they have just climbed from the back of the branch to the back of the leaf, and then flip over.

These worker ants are the same broad-knotted big-headed ants, with three silk threads growing in the north, and one of them is significantly larger than the other two.

After meeting the protagonist, the worker ants do not show hostility, but want to get closer and make tentacle contact.

The protagonist immediately has a bad premonition, these three are obviously the same as the worker ants just now, and once they make contact with their antennae, they will start attacking.

The protagonist suddenly thinks of the fierce hand ants that Roll once encountered. They also have the smell of the nest of "Dongyang City", and they will also attack their own kind, and they also have large worker ants.

"There must be a connection!"

The protagonist's instincts tell him that the mysterious disappearance of the ants in "Dongyang City" may also be related to it.

"Take a captive and go back!" This is the current mind of the protagonist.

With his own strength and skill, only three worker ants are completely fine, even if there is a big worker ant opposite.

The protagonist silently prepares, he takes a few steps forward and leaves Xiaoqing's side, so as not to hurt the innocent during the fight for a while.

The three worker ants seemed to approach the protagonist slowly, waving their tentacles.

There are still seven or eight steps, and you will be in the attack range. The protagonist counts silently.

One-step! Two steps! Three steps!

Sudden mutation!

The three worker ants approaching the protagonist first passed by the fainted worker ant, and one of the worker ants curiously touched his motionless companion.

At the same time, a silk thread on the back of the fainted worker ant also touched the silk thread on the back of the worker ant.

I saw a faint green smoke suddenly burst out of the silk thread.

Then, the silk threads on the backs of all the ants began to burst into a light mist after coming into contact with the smoke.

The fog is not heavy and does not block the view, so the protagonist immediately notices an anomaly in the fog.

Except for the three silk threads on the comatose worker ants, which had already crawled once, the other nine silk threads were separated from the parasitic host almost simultaneously.

These threads are like grasshoppers that have seen blood, and they snake away in the direction of the protagonist, a point faster than the previous three.

If only these three threads were enough.

In the smoke, the three worker ants also behaved abnormally. Through the faint green smoke, the black compound eyes of these worker ants reveal a little red light.

When red took over most of the compound eyeballs, the worker ants, which had been static due to the smoke, moved.

They landed on all six legs, quickly picked up their speed, and overtook the silk threads and rushed towards the protagonist not far away.

The protagonist has already noticed the anomaly, and he is not afraid of the three worker ants.

When the first and largest worker ant crawls up to her side, the protagonist easily knocks her away with a wave of her forelegs.

However, the ant is too light, and under the action of air and wind, this big worker ant falls lightly to the protagonist's side.

At this point, the protagonist has neatly crushed the heads of two smaller worker ants.

Faced with the large worker ant that pounced again, the protagonist dodged her attack and grabbed her abdomen and waist with two arthropods.

"Bang la", the protagonist tears the worker ant into two pieces.

The abdomen of the large worker ant detached from its body and twitched on the ground.

The other half of the body is still under the control of the brain, frantically using the only three remaining legs to reflexively try to crawl towards the protagonist, and the tongs keep opening and closing, trying to bite off a piece of meat from the protagonist.

She's no longer a threat!

But at this moment, with the help of the three worker ants, the nine silk threads have climbed to the distance where the protagonist is close at hand.

At that moment, the threads stopped writhing and crawling like snakes, and they curled up like springs.

"Whoosh"

A group of silk threads bounced towards the protagonist who had no time to dodge.
