Chapter 55: The Hive
Tianlan, on the other side, didn't know the situation in the city.
Now he looked at the departing bees and had a plan in his heart.
Bees, like ants, have their own social nature.
However, bees are also different from ants.
Ants are omnivorous and will eat anything they can eat.
This is not the case with bees, where the larvae do eat meat, but the adults do not.
In general, the adult bees eat some of the things secreted by the larvae, as well as the nectar of flowers.
Now the nectar simply can't satisfy these bees, so their staple food is only what the larvae secrete.
It's also a good option if you can fool these bees into the hive.
After all, the larvae do not have any combat power, and until they metamorphose into adults, they stay in the hive, waiting for the adults to feed.
If you can blend into the hive, then it is also a good choice to spend the day here.
But in the end, Tianlan shook her head and gave up on the idea.
Not because of anything else, just because they can't do it.
And bees are no less lethal than those ants.
The sharp poison needle may not have been able to kill people before, but now, not to mention the venom of the poison needle, that thickness alone is enough to stab a person to death.
Tianlan may not be afraid of this, but Chu Mosheng may not.
Besides, they can't blend into the hive.
The social system of bees is the same as that of ants in some places, but in others, it is completely different.
The communication between bees alone is completely incomprehensible to Tianlan, and it is obviously impossible to blend into the honeycomb.
Bees communicate with each other, unlike ants, they also use pheromones, but this is not the main means of communication for bees.
Their communication is to transmit messages or communicate with their companions through the collision of antennae and flight paths.
With these alone, Tianlan couldn't understand it at all.
At this moment, Chu Mosheng, who was hiding under Tianlan, said with a slightly trembling voice: "That...... I guess we've been discovered. ”
"......" Tianlan looked down at her, and then asked speechlessly, "Why do you say this?" ”
"Look." Chu Mosheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.
At this moment, far away from Tianlan and them, a bee was flying wildly.
But it seems that its flight is chaotic, but in fact there is a certain trajectory to be found.
"That's a warning, and there's a vigilance." Chu Mosheng began to think about Tianlan's explanation: "The bees convey messages to them through flight and the vibration of their wings. And now the meaning of the bee, which is 'there is an intruder here', also means to warn the intruder. If the intruders don't understand and don't leave, they're going to attack. ”
Normally, there is an unknown creature in the hive, and the bees will warn first, but this warning is incomprehensible to most creatures.
But even if they can't see it, some animals still know it, and once they hear this buzzing sound near the honeycomb, it means that the bees are about to get angry and must leave quickly.
And now, the bees are conveying the news, and this so-called intruder is Tianlan and them.
Now the bees have made a warning, if Tianlan and they don't leave, they will face the bee attack of the entire hive.
A bee may not be terrible, but thousands, tens of thousands, even a normal-sized bee, this degree is enough to sting a person.
Now these bees have revealed their stingers, full of threat, as if Tianlan is about to do it if they don't leave.
Tian Lan couldn't understand the message that the bee wanted to convey, and could only hear a very annoying buzzing sound.
Here, Tianlan couldn't help but look at Chu Mosheng more, and once again congratulated herself that her previous decision was correct.
Now that he knew what the bee meant, Tianlan didn't stay any longer, and left here directly with Chu Mosheng.
Seeing that Tianlan was leaving, the bee colony that was still restless calmed down a little, but it was not completely calmed down, and they didn't leave completely in Tianlan, and they wouldn't easily relax their vigilance against the intruders.
Tianlan, who was about to leave, was a little different this time.
According to what Tianlan saw in the sky, it was obviously impossible to fly into the city from here.
According to the current strength of Tianlan, it is estimated that before they reached the city, they crashed first, and then they were eaten by the insects.
Therefore, Tianlan plans to find a means of transportation here that can be used as a substitute.
As for this 'vehicle', Tianlan didn't hesitate and directly selected the butterfly.
Although Tianlan is not very aware of the habits of butterflies, she still has a certain understanding.
The larvae of butterflies are caterpillars that feed constantly in preparation for metamorphosis during their juvenile years.
Butterflies may have a strong ability to survive in the larval stage, but this does not mean that they have adults.
Butterflies don't have the same flexible bodies as larvae, no shells to protect themselves, and no larvae's sharp palate teeth.
It can be said that it is a completely weakened existence.
Although it has evolved a long mouthpart, it is not as sharp as a mosquito and cannot pierce human skin at all.
Butterflies may be beautiful, but they are very delicate, as if they were only born for the sake of succession.
However, there is one thing that Tianlan still admires, and that is the endurance of butterflies.
There are some butterflies that also migrate like migratory birds, and if you want to migrate, you must have super endurance.
If not, it will not be possible to migrate at all, and you will only die of exhaustion on the way.
Therefore, Tianlan set her eyes on a huge butterfly.
With the size of the butterfly now, it is not difficult to carry two people on a flight.
So, Tianlan quickly made a move, and soon caught a butterfly, pulled out the butterfly's mouthparts, sat on the butterfly's body, and let it fly with him.
Pulling out the butterfly's mouthparts may be a cruel act, but it is necessary.
In the past, it was true that the mouthparts of the butterfly could not pierce the skin of humans, but that does not mean that it can't now.
Tianlan must be responsible for her own safety and that of Chu Mosheng, so she can't be sloppy in these things.
And Chu Mosheng looked at the butterfly that had its mouthparts removed, and felt very pitiful, and estimated that the fate of this butterfly in the future would only be starved to death.
But she didn't say anything, because she knew that a moment of pity would only cause more pain to herself.
The butterfly's strength is not great, and it can't break free from Tianlan's shackles at all.
The two of them sat down fairly smoothly on the butterfly's body.
After sitting firmly, Tianlan grabbed the two tentacles on the top of the butterfly's head and began to control it, as if she were flying an airplane.
Whether this method can control the direction of the butterfly's flight, Tianlan doesn't know, but no one can say if he doesn't try it.
Tianlan grabbed the butterfly's tentacles and began to lift it up.
And the butterfly, as if unable to bear such pain, began to flare its wings and left the ground.
Seeing the butterfly fly smoothly, Tianlan nodded with satisfaction, and then began to manipulate the butterfly's tentacles to fly.
Chu Mosheng, who was sitting in the back, kept stroking the butterfly's furry back, and his eyes became confused.
Anyway, it's very soft.,It's the exact opposite of what it looks like when it's a larvae.。
If it weren't for scientific proof, it would be hard for the world to believe that the caterpillar would have turned into such a beautiful flower butterfly.
Bugs are such wonderful beings, surprising people every moment, evolving every moment.
That's what creatures should look like!
The wings are patterned, and the beautiful body is simply amazing!
Chu Mosheng looked at the butterfly, and he didn't know that his excited saliva was flowing out.
And Tianlan didn't care about Chu Mosheng's appearance, but continued to concentrate on controlling the butterfly's flight trajectory.
Although it was a little difficult at first, and I almost flew to the honeycomb several times, after a period of training, the butterfly was finally able to read Tianlan's meaning, and Tianlan was finally able to control the butterfly like flying an airplane.
After completely controlling the butterfly's flight, Tianlan and the others quickly left the bee's territory.
Fly high in the air and look down below.
Among the desolate forests, only here is the last green that remains.
It is estimated that the bees are the ones who protect this land, and as long as it is a creature that easily intrudes into this land, it will be ruthlessly attacked by bees.
Those bugs don't have a long memory, and after seeing many of their companions killed by bees, they began to subconsciously avoid this place.
For them, this is a forbidden area, and if they trespass, they will be killed by bees.
And the bees don't eat leaves, so it's the only place where the last green can be retained.
After feeling a sigh in her heart, Tianlan began to control the butterfly and flew towards the north.
Maybe they don't have to go back to that city, but at least they are familiar with it, and it's the closest city.
It may be dangerous to be around humans, but in a way, the human community is the safest place.
The butterfly's flight speed is not very fast, but even so, Tianlan is already satisfied.
At least now they are not worried about being affected by the insects below, and those insects seem to know butterflies, and they are no longer staring at Tianlan them.
After all, butterflies are their adults, and it is a matter of course to know them.
Presumably, they are also full of expectations and want to become butterflies.
But what they don't know is that after turning into butterflies, they will lose a lot of abilities, and even natural predators will not be able to defend against them.
They probably know, and even if they do, it won't dampen their expectations.
Tian Lan no longer paid attention to the situation below, and concentrated on controlling the butterfly to fly north.
While flying behind the butterflies, Tianlan and the others also encountered many flying insects.
But they didn't notice Tianlan, which is also the benefit of using butterflies as mounts.
Those bugs subconsciously think that butterflies are of the same kind, so they will not actively attack.
