Chapter 85: Compromise
How persistent are ants?
It's hard to say.
When some ants find food, they will return to the nest to notify other ants to come and carry the food.
If the ants come and find that there is no food here, they will not get angry, but will just be dismissed on the spot and start to continue looking for food.
Some ants go out to hunt together in groups, and almost as long as they encounter insects, they will become their meals.
If prey escapes from their mouths, they will not pursue, but will look for new targets.
But there are some ants, and that's an exception.
For example, bullet ants do not go out to hunt in groups, but act alone.
If they are targeted by bullet ants, even if the prey escapes thousands of kilometers away, they will chase after it.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the bullet ants will target other prey in the middle of the way, but this possibility is a bit small.
In the case of marching ants, it is a disciplined army, and it is a symbol of the ant colony going out to hunt.
As long as it is where they pass, there are no living creatures, and everything will become their food.
It is also difficult to see a failed hunting of marching ants, as long as they are caught by marching ants, the prey has almost no chance of escaping.
The means of attack of the marching ants, the Death Vortex.
Surround the prey so that it has no way to escape, and then break it down little by little.
It is a very terrifying tactic, and according to legend, as long as you are surrounded by the death vortex of marching ants, you can only wait for death.
As for whether marching ants are attached to a prey, this seems to be still being discovered.
However, it is estimated that they will not be attached to a prey.
After all, the success rate of hunting is so high, why focus on one prey.
And like the current Jack jumping ant and fire ant, this is another story.
I don't know about fire ants, but if the other party can't attract their attention, then they probably won't be attached to each other.
Jack jumps ants, this is easy to say.
When they encounter an opponent that they can defeat, the Jack Jumping Ant will chase after them, and if they can't defeat the opponent, they will use their 'bounce ability' to escape.
As for Tianlan like the current one, although for them, it is just a small piece of meat.
But no matter how small it is, this is meat, and it is better than nothing.
Therefore, these ants are scrambling to grab the first ant to taste, and only the first ant to catch the prey can fill the stomach.
That's why they are so scrambling to pursue Tianlan, and they are bound to be the first to prey on Tianlan.
And Tianlan did not panic in the slightest in the face of being completely surrounded now, and said softly to Chu Mosheng: "Hold on to me." ”
"Huh?" Before Chu Mosheng could react, she felt her body loosen and began to fall.
This frightened Chu Mosheng hurriedly grabbed Tianlan's body, for fear of falling into the pile of ants and being divided by countless ants.
Tianlan let go of Chu Mosheng and blocked the ant's bite with her arm.
They have all been bitten off a foot, and now they are losing an arm, so it's not a big deal.
The bite force of the fire ant was not very strong, but it still bit off Tianlan's arm very easily.
Blood spurted out, but Tianlan didn't care, but kicked the attacking fire ant away.
The trouble of fire ants is not in the teeth, but in the honey-like tail spines.
Once bitten, even if it is Tianlan, it will lose its ability to resist.
If you are an ordinary person, you will probably be burned to death by the formic acid of the fire ants.
The fire ants that were kicked away were not angry, but happily enjoyed the arm they had snatched from Tianlan.
Seeing that her arm was gnawed by ants, Tianlan was not angry, but showed a sneer.
Whether it was a broken leg before, or a broken arm now, the situation is still under his control.
It wasn't just this one ant that attacked Tianlan, but hundreds.
Not to be outdone, the other ants rushed forward after seeing that one of their companions had succeeded, and also wanted to get a piece of meat from Tianlan.
But this time, Tianlan will not let them succeed, even if there is a burden on their bodies, but it is still no problem to deal with a few ants.
Rushing up to an ant, Tianlan easily dodged it, and then counterattacked.
Tian Lan, who has strong dynamic vision and strong physical ability, wants to dodge the attacks of a few ants in the air, it is still very simple, and it is very easy to counterattack.
And with the help of the power of this counterattack, Tianlan has reached the ability to stay in the air, so that he does not have to consume a lot of physical strength to fight against these ants.
Now the ants have no way to take Tianlan for a while, and Tianlan is not in a hurry to leave, but just consumes with them, as if waiting for something.
The fire ants also seem to have gradually lost their patience, and they are no longer fighting, and plan to divide Tianlan and them together.
At this time, Tianlan also smiled, and finally caught up.
The surrounding fire ants attacked Tianlan together, and at this time, a fire ant suddenly pushed away the other ants around and quickly flew towards Tianlan.
For this fire ant that came straight back, Tianlan did not stop it, but stretched out her hand.
The fire ant is extremely fast, but its target does not seem to be Tianlan, and the trajectory of its flight is not on Tianlan.
The fire ants almost flew past with Tianlan, and Tianlan also grabbed the other party at the moment when the fire ants passed by, and rode on the fire ants with Chu Mosheng, rushing out of this encirclement.
From the beginning, Tianlan had no intention of fighting this group of ants to the end.
Because he knows that no matter how strong he is, he is not the opponent of this group of ants, and in the end, he will only be consumed by the ants.
So he made this decision to sacrifice one of his arms to parasitize the parasite into the body of the fire ants to the extent of controlling the fire ants.
Although he sacrificed an arm, the effect was obvious, he successfully controlled a fire ant and made the other party fly away with him.
Sitting on the back of the fire ant, Tianlan breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same speed as the fire ants, it is impossible for other fire ants to catch up for a while.
It's safe for now.
At this moment, Chu Mosheng was still confused, the unfolding just now was so fast, she couldn't keep up at all, and she thought it was going to be finished for a while.
But now that he reacted, he looked back at the fiery red 'cloud' behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Then Chu Mosheng put his eyes on Tianlan again, looked at Tianlan's broken arm, and asked distressedly, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's not a big problem." As she spoke, Tianlan made the insect conjure a new arm.
The arm was just broken, and it was not contaminated with formic acid, so it was quite easy to recover.
Looking at the regained arm, Chu Mosheng was also somewhat relieved, but his face was still very distressed, and he gently stroked Tianlan's arm with his hand.
Whether it was his arm or when he was stained with formic acid before, Tianlan did not show any painful expression on his face.
Looking at the way he looks, it's not that he can't feel pain, then, that is, he is used to the pain.
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Mosheng couldn't help but feel distressed.
How could a person endure the pain of having a broken hand or foot, and now that Tianlan faced this, he could still show a calm look......
“…… Don't get used to it...... All right? ”
When a person is used to being injured, it is difficult for the person to take care of their body.
Chu Mosheng didn't want to see Tianlan who didn't care about his body like this.
And Tianlan replied lightly to this question: "Once you get used to it, it is difficult to change. ”
At the beginning, Tianlan really couldn't get used to the pain, and he would feel the pain like a normal person, and let out a sad scream.
However, I have suffered more injuries, and gradually I have become accustomed to it.
Besides, is there a physical pain that 'I thought I had hope, but it turned out to be even more hopeless'?
Hearing this, Chu Mosheng's heart ached violently, held back his tears, held Tianlan's hand, and said solemnly: "Since this is the case, then it is up to me to change your habit!" ”
Maybe this is unlikely, maybe Chu Mosheng doesn't have much time now, but Chu Mosheng has already made a decision, even if the time is short, she wants Tianlan to get rid of this bad habit!
Tianlan just smiled at Chu Mosheng's decision, and then stopped caring.
Looking at Tianlan like this, Chu Mosheng instantly became angry, this is not taking his determination in his eyes at all.
"Since you don't believe it, then in the future, as long as you are injured once, I will cut a piece of flesh from my body!"
As he spoke, Chu Mosheng took out a dagger, intending to cut off a piece of meat from himself.
And just when Chu Mosheng was about to make a move, Tianlan grabbed her hand and stopped her movements.
Just when Chu Mosheng thought that Tianlan was feeling sorry for himself, he still felt a trace of warmth in his heart, but Tianlan came to say this.
"Don't do it, it's going to be a waste of my energy."
"You're ......!" Chu Mosheng was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
I want to lose my temper at Tianlan, but then I will feel distressed, but if she doesn't vent, she feels like she is about to suffocate.
In the end, Chu Mosheng could only be like a deflated balloon, put down the dagger in his hand, and asked Tianlan, "Do you feel distressed when you see me injured?" ”
"Somewhat." Tianlan will not lie to himself, he will say such feelings directly.
"If that's the case, then why don't you understand!? It's all the same! If you get hurt, I will feel distressed, and I don't want to see you hurt! ”
Of course Tianlan understands such a simple truth, but he can't do it.
"If you want to survive, you will inevitably get hurt, so getting used to it as early as possible is the best option."
"Even if it's unavoidable, then you can't actively harm your body! If I let me know next time that you took the initiative to hurt your own body, then I would really cut a piece of my own flesh! ”
For the threat like a child, Tianlan has no way.
After all, it wasn't his own body, he couldn't fully control it, and he didn't want to completely control Chu Mosheng.
So in the end, he can only choose to compromise, anyway, this doomsday is very short, as long as he leaves this world, Chu Mosheng will come to the end.
As long as it is in a place where Chu Mosheng can't see, then everything doesn't matter.
So, Tianlan nodded and chose to compromise.
