Chapter 159: Fortress Battle (5)

The rustle of countless ants crawling across the ground sounded from all directions, like a sleeping giant being alarmed, and an inexplicable sense of crisis enveloped the protagonist's heart.

Not far in front of the protagonist, on the gloomy ground, from behind the long leaves that hung down to the ground, several parasitic ants suddenly turned out, and they crawled towards it following the sound and smell of the fight just now.

The protagonist feels bad, and he hurriedly climbs on a grass stalk next to him, and climbs along the grass stalk to a height of two decimeters and tries to look around.

Although the grass was dimly lit, the nearby vegetation and grass stems were constantly shaking, making a dense sound of leaves rubbing, and there were figures not far away.

It doesn't take long for the protagonist to find himself surrounded.

The countless parasitic ants who followed the sound and smell quickly found the corpse of the dead parasitic ant, and then the large worker ants who led the team found the figure of the protagonist who was secretly hiding on the grass stalk to watch.

This is another army of parasitic ants, like the legion that lies in ambush on the bushes, they are ordered to ambush in the grass with complex terrain, planning to ambush the legion of the Divine Envoy King who dares to pursue. The Divine Envoy King's legion didn't come, but by mistake, they surrounded the big fish of the protagonist.

The surroundings are densely packed with parasitic ants, and the enemy, under the command of the large worker ants, has begun to crawl towards the grass stems, getting closer and closer to the protagonist.

At this moment, the protagonist is almost inescapable, the ground is full of enemies, and he can't fly in the sky, where is his way of life?

The protagonist begins to crawl towards the top of the grass stem, but the height of the grass is limited, and the pursuit of the enemy behind it does not stop, this effort seems futile.

Soon, the protagonist is chased to the end of a blade of grass, and he has no way back. One by one, the parasitic ants have climbed up to the surface of the leaves following the smell.

Perhaps with the power of his "gods", the protagonist can kill dozens or hundreds of enemies. However, his strength is limited after all, and in the face of an entire army, no matter how brave he is, he is powerless.

The protagonist looks around, and his heart is crossed, and he decides to jump to the ground where there are slightly fewer enemies, and then fight his way out. As for whether he would be dragged into an encirclement by the enemy and die in a fierce battle at that time, he couldn't think about it so much.

As for why he didn't jump on the leaves of other plants, it can only be said that the protagonist didn't think of this at first, and when he is now cornered, he finds that there are no plant leaves close enough to jump over - the nearest blade of grass is also two decimeters away.

You know, ants have little or no jumping ability, and most ants only crawl all their lives.

There is only one kind of ant that is really good at bouncing on its legs: the hunting sickle ant, also known as the hunting sickle, the genus of sickle fierce ants, which is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions.

The scythe often nests in the shady and humid soil such as forest edges and thin grasslands, and the size of the community is not large, and the mature large community does not exceed 200 individuals.

The scythe generally acts alone and preys mainly on small arthropod insects. When spotting prey or enemies, they will shake their butts from side to side, follow their prey and sneak closer, then suddenly jump up to attack, then firmly grip the prey with their long sickle-like teeth, and then use their tail chelates to deliver a fatal blow.

This type of predation is due to the fact that the scythe has two abilities that ordinary ants do not have: good eyesight and bouncing.

Ordinary ants have a close field of vision, but the scythe has excellent eyesight. And with vision, it also has the foundation and meaning of "jumping".

The jump distance of the scythe is about 5-10 centimeters, which is a very good statistic compared to its length, which is equivalent to a standing long jump score of 4-8 meters for a human who is 1.7 meters seven.

However, the big-headed ant to which the protagonist belongs is a typical ant species that can only climb and not jump.,The protagonist himself has experimented.,Even if you have great strength.,But because of the leg structure and muscle structure.,It's hard to mobilize all the power in an instant.。

With the strange power of the protagonist, you can jump a decimeter away from the ground, which looks good, but it is far inferior to insects such as locusts and fleas.

And the protagonist's current embarrassing situation is that there are no suitable plants for him to jump over and escape in the area near the location he fled to, so he can only jump to the ground to seek a chance of survival.

Seeing that the enemy is approaching, the protagonist is ready to jump off the leaf as soon as his heart is horizontal and his legs are forced.

But at this time, an unexpected but reasonable thing happened.

The protagonist feels that with his own force, the entire blade of grass and even the stem of the grass are bent down - this is the result of the protagonist's great force.

Then, as the protagonist's strength is regained, as he jumps, the blades and stems of the grass bounce violently like squashed springs, giving the protagonist another force.

So the protagonist jumped far more than a decimeter this time, and was suddenly bounced towards a plant in front of him, landing steadily on the blade of this grass.

On the original grass, due to the violent swaying of the grass stems and leaves, many parasitic ants with an unstable foothold were thrown out.

The protagonist was stunned for a moment, and finally figured out the reason, by mistake, the grass stems and grass blades played the role of springs, greatly increasing their bounce distance, which was considered a narrow escape.

But the crisis has not yet been contacted, the parasitic ants suddenly lost their target, and after blindly turning around for a while, the big worker ants relocked the figure of the protagonist who was sneaking back to the ground from the grass stem, and the ants were still more sensitive to moving objects. And even worse, a large pale golden worker ant also appears, and her eyesight is better, which means that the protagonist's plan to sneak away is out of the question.

The organized parasitic ants surround the protagonist's plant again, and then climb upwards.

The protagonist had no choice but to continue to crawl back in disgrace, giving up his intention of returning to the ground. But fortunately, the experience just now gave the protagonist an extra choice to escape.

So the protagonist comes to the blade of grass again, chooses the target in the distance, and presses the blade of grass twice, and only after the stalk of the grass that is crushed has accumulated enough strength before the protagonist jumps. This time, the protagonist landed peacefully on a blade of grass three meters away.

This feeling of flying in the sky is very much like riding a roller coaster, with both acceleration and falling feeling, which is very exciting.

This time, the protagonist simply didn't wait for the enemy to continue to find himself besieging, so he chose the target first and jumped again.

After several times of shuttling through the weeds and jungles like Tarzan of the Apes, the protagonist finally gets rid of the damned enemy.

Soon the grass comes to an end, the protagonist gets out, there are no enemies around, the sun is shining, the breeze is warm, everything is so beautiful.

The protagonist breathes greedily in the air, stretches his waist, and walks in the direction of the fortress.

It's good to be alive and out!
