254. The battle of man-eating ants
Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya walked through the weeds full of small flowers, and they didn't go far when they found a red ant on a blade of grass.
The ant stared at the two strangers with menacing vigilance. For the first time, the two took a closer look at the appearance of the ant blocking their path: its head appeared to be large, half a head larger than theirs, with a pair of elongated antennae on its head, and it had a peculiar "large mouth"βthe upper jaw, like a powerful pair of pincers, and as it was ready to tear or capture, its mouth opened to swallow their entire body in one gulp; It held its head high, its six-legged hairs and hooks erected, and the sting needles at the end of its abdomen were cocked, opening up a posture ready to attack.
Wei Xinyu began to pay little attention to the ant in front of him, thinking that a single ant would not attack them. They expected that this ant was a man-eating ant, and they were not afraid to deal with creatures dozens to thousands of times larger than them, not to mention that there were two people as big as it in front of them. It stood up high and pounced, opening its mouth to pounce on Wei Xinyu, trying to bite Wei Xinyu with its sharp palate.
Wei Xinyu hurriedly flashed, slapped the ant's body with a palm, and knocked this ant out of a dozen people at once. After the ant was bounced up by the soft grass and landed, it was not afraid of the other party, he turned his body to adjust his posture, its head was still towards Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya, its mouth made a warning sound, and the sting needle erected at the tail sprayed a foul smell of venom towards Wei Xinyu who rushed forward.
Wei Xinyu jumped up and dodged the venom, Heng Liya hit the ant with a laser palm, and immediately knocked the ant into the grass, the two quickly looked forward, but the ant fled quickly.
After the two of them beat the red ant, they didn't care about the ant's whereabouts, and it didn't take long for the injured ant to attract a large number of companions. It turned out that after the ant was injured in the leg by Heng Liya, it went out through the gap in the haystack, quietly ran to their camp, and reported to the king that two strangers had broken into their territory, and it personally led the way, attracting thousands of ants.
Wei Xinyu looked at the dense ant colony, and surrounded them with a tiger's eye, he knew that they were in big trouble, and from the information searched for in his brain, he knew that they had encountered man-eating ants. This kind of ant, also known as marching ants, is a kind of nomadic ant species, in order to facilitate the killing of all directions, they have never had a fixed nest. On weekdays, thousands of ants march in formations to kill, and wherever the army of thousands of ants goes, all insects and invertebrates rarely steal their lives. When the vanguard seized the prey thousands of times larger than them, the main army arrived as soon as possible, and the prey was immediately submerged in the vast sea of ants. Wei Xinyu knew that if he didn't take measures quickly, they might be bitten by this group of man-eating ants, and it would be very difficult to get out of being entangled by them, so he made the first move and said to Heng Liya:
"Hurry up and attack with fire!"
Wei Xinyu said and spewed fire with his palm, Heng Liya also pushed out two flames with both palms, their fire immediately ignited the hay in front of them, and the man-eating ants in front of them quickly retreated when they saw this, and the ant colony behind them wanted to sneak attack from behind, but they were burned by the fire they turned around and spewed out.
In order to extinguish the fire around them, the two used lasers to beat the grass around them in all directions, knocking out an area without combustibles around them. This fire burned very big, in this space, there has never been such a fire of man-eating ants, due to the retreat in time was burned by the fire burned a lot, fortunately, Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya's combat uniforms are specially made, they can still resist the fire, their surroundings have been raging fire continues to extend outward, the fire around them has been extinguished by them, leaving a circle without fire. Some of the ants that had been burned so much that they ran into their pens were burned to death by beating them into the fire with their palms.
The fire killed most of this formidable man-eating ant colony, and many were slightly injured, but fortunately there was a hole in the grass that allowed some of the man-eating ants to escape.
The king of man-eating ants, coming out of the hole, saw a large number of burned kind, and vowed to avenge the dead kind. Under the orders of the Man-Eating Ant King, they set out in groups, and despite the unburned embers on the ashes, they began to search for the two enemies.
Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya followed the burning grass ash and found a pond at the end of the fire, and they rushed over in ecstasy.
Wei Xinyu stood by the pond and said to Heng Liya:
"Luckily, we can swim over to avoid these plague gods."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of man-eating ant colonies arrived behind him, and they wanted to avenge the death of their own kind, and they all swooped down on them with the same hatred.
They turned their palms into knives and slashed at the oncoming ants, and a dozen ants fell in response, and the latter pounced on them, not afraid of them at all.
Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya had no choice but to jump into the river and escape. The two swam in the river towards the opposite bank. When they swam to the center of the pond, Wei Xinyu found that the ants were chasing after them, and they used the leaves as boats and rowed the leaves towards them. From afar, they are densely packed with leaves in the pond.
Wei Xinyu pointed to the leaves floating on the pond and said, "These guys are not ordinary ants, they have brains, they actually use the leaves as a boat, desperately chasing after us, we are in trouble, they are here for revenge." β
Heng Liya said while swimming: "Since they are afraid of water, we will fight a war of annihilation in the water, annihilate them all, and let these vicious guys disappear." β
"Okay!" Wei Xinyu stopped paddling towards the shore, "We're just waiting for them here." β
Sure enough, a large number of "leaf boats" came, and Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya dived into the water, overturning their "leaf boats", causing the man-eating ants on the leaves to fall into the water. The man-eating ants, which are still menacing on land, fell into the water miserably, they were most afraid of water, and drowned a lot.
Many of the "leaf boats" entered the middle of the pond, but they were overturned by Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya, and all the ants on the "leaf boats" were drowned, and there were no survivors. However, they found that there was a thick branch, headed towards them, and it turned out that on this branch stood the ant king, who commanded thousands of ants and pursued the two enemies in the water.
Wei Xinyu watched the branch hit them, he pulled Heng Liya and sank into the water, and then grabbed the tip of the branch and shook it vigorously, shaking some ants that did not stand firm into the water.
The ants on these branches are the right-hand men of the ant king, after they fell into the water, they still pounced on the two enemies in the water, and some of them also used their sharp paws to bite Wei Xinyu's combat uniform, but unfortunately they couldn't bite the enemy's clothes until they died, and they were soon buried at the bottom of the pond.
The ant king knew that the other party was powerful, and ordered the remaining dozens of ants not to fight, and rowed towards the pond bank with all their might. Although the Ant King had managed to paddle the branches to the shore of the pond, his forces were almost completely wiped out, leaving only five ants including him.
When Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya swam ashore, five ants blocked their way. The Ant King hated the two strangers who had trespassed into his territory, and he ordered the four ants around him to destroy the two enemies in front of him at all costs.
5 to 2, the two sides launched a life-and-death fight. The 4 ants are the right-hand man of the ant king, and the powerful ant king naturally makes the two earthlings who have never fought with ants feel difficult. They cooperated with each other to stab the enemy with poisonous needles, although they were dodged, but the venom hit the combat uniform, and it stands to reason that any creature hit by it could not escape the fate of death, but the other party did not react at all, but fought with them for dozens of rounds.
The 5 ants were tired, they jumped out of the battle under the order of the ant king, and the ant king kicked his breath and tried to use the ant language, asking:
"Who are you?"
Who knew that Wei Xinyu would be able to understand the ant king's words, and he replied in ant language: "We are earth planet people." β
The ant king said viciously, "You have invaded my territory and killed so many of our ants, what are your intentions?" β
Wei Xinyu bowed his hand and said, "I'm sorry, we didn't force us to fight back, we won't fight back, and I am here to make amends to you." β
An ant beside the ant king said, "King, don't talk nonsense with him, they have killed so many of our brothers and wiped out our army, we have to let them pay for their lives......"
"Hahaha......" A voice suddenly came from behind the five ants, "I can't imagine that the invincible King of the Southeast has fallen to this point today." β
When the ant king heard the voice, he turned around and pointed to the ant who was speaking, and said, "King of the Northwest, don't fall into the well, although we only have these few ants left, we are still not afraid of you." β
"Up!" The ant called the king of the northwest said loudly, "Give me a whole day to die!" β
The king of the northwest gave an order, and the surrounding ant colony swarmed towards the five man-eating ants. The scene of the battle was extremely heroic, 5 man-eating ants bit and bit hundreds of ants, and finally 4 man-eating ants were bitten to death, and the six legs of the man-eating ant called the king of the southeast were bitten off, and a pair of slender tentacles on the head were also broken, leaving a bare body.
When the ants of the king of the northwest saw this, they laughed and said, "Hahaha...... King of the Southeast, don't you want us to bow down? Why did you end up so miserable, you just broke your wings, and now you don't even have your feet......"
The man-eating ant king tried his best to the sting and spray venom at the ants of the Northwest King, and the Northwest King struggled to incite his wings to dodge, but the ants behind him suffered and died of poisoning immediately. The ants surrounding the man-eating ant king immediately retaliated and used their sharp paws to bite fiercely at the body of the man-eating ant king, and after a while, the man-eating ant king whined and wailed.
Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya, who were standing on the side, watched the battle of the entire ant, Heng Liya shook her head after seeing it, and said:
"This ant war is more cruel than the war of humans."
After cleaning up the man-eating ant queen, all the ants surrounded Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya, their eyes staring at the two strangers in unison. And they saw the ants of the king of the northwest fly before them and say,
"Thank you for clearing the scourge of the Ant Kingdom for us, you are the great benefactor of our Ant Kingdom, and I implore you to come to our Kingdom as a guest."
The two thought that there would be a fierce battle, but the plot reversed so quickly that they readily agreed to the invitation of the king of the northwest and went to the ant kingdom together surrounded by many ants.
