Chapter 27: The Mutant Ant Colony Against the Heavens
"It's not good to go out and find herbs now, let's use the vitality shield for the time being tonight, it only needs to last for five hours, so it won't consume too much of your strength."
Xiao Qi was already recovering, and Lu Tian didn't dare to let him consume too much strength, otherwise he would be miserable if he didn't have enough strength when he needed to escape.
"Yes, master."
A transparent bubble appeared out of thin air, enveloping Lu Tian inside.
After trying, he could breathe, but at the same time, he also isolated his own breath, so that those insects could not sense Lu Tian's existence, so naturally they would not come to attack him.
"Oh, master, Xiao Qi can only play an auxiliary role, and can't help you take the initiative to deal with the enemy, the master must pay attention to this rule, so as not to encounter too strong enemies, Xiao Qi has no time to take the master to escape."
Xiao Qi then supplemented Lu Tian's restrictions, and Lu Tian also wrote them down carefully.
Today, he drove a lot of roads, fought all the way, and was poisoned halfway, Lu Tian was extremely tired at this time, and after saying a word to Xiao Qi, he fell asleep.
This is the first time Lu Tian has really slept in a few years, in the past, he used to replace sleep with cultivation, and now he has a long-lost pleasure, and he has a dream.
In the dream, he returned home and found that his relatives had died, and he knelt sadly in front of his parents' graves, his eyes filled with reluctance and longing, as well as tears of remorse.
"Lu Tian~"
A familiar, crisp and pleasant voice sounded in his ears, and Lu Tian slowly turned his head and saw an unforgettable figure.
Under the bright sun, wearing a white short skirt, revealing a pair of small jade legs, with a smile in her tranquility, under the faint willow eyebrows, her big eyes looked at Lu Tian with disgust.
"Let's go, I'm going to be late......"
"Bang~" A slight breaking sound sounded, and the vitality cover turned into a faint point of light and disappeared, pulling Lu Tian out of his dream.
Opening his eyes with complicated feelings, Lu Tian was silent for a while.
"I'm dreaming, what a strange feeling!"
I don't know how long I've been since I dreamed, so long that I can't remember the time.
"Master, it's because you're too tired today and you haven't started to visualize that this is happening."
"Master, it is a dream that can also be cultivated, and it can also be controlled, some powerful beings who cultivate dreams have the means to reach the sky, they can transmit power in dreams, and they can also kill people in dreams."
Xiao Qi said some new knowledge again.
"Oh, yes."
Lu Tian's face was expressionless, he replied lazily, and fell into deep thought.
His heart was full of complexity, and the dream just now brought back too many memories that made him a little sad.
Do you think about it day and dream at night?
When he woke up, Lu Tian also regained all his energy, and just sat and waited for dawn to get back on the road.
A few hours in the early hours of the morning passed in the boredom of stepping on bugs non-stop.
A faint light appeared in the sky, and then this light, in Lu Tian's eyes, the world was no different from day.
The swelling of the right arm has completely subsided, the toxins in the body have been completely broken down, and the wound has become scarred and no longer in the way.
Lu Tian packed up the things in the tent and put the remaining antidote herbs in his bag, if he was bitten again, he could still use it then.
Taking advantage of the dawn, Lu Tian quickly shuttled through the forest, except for startling a few birds, he did not encounter the attack of fierce beasts for a while.
At this time, it is estimated that some fierce beasts have also caught their prey, and they will rest in their nests and no longer come out.
Along the way, I don't know how many freshly formed cobwebs were destroyed, and I don't know how many small animals were infestation, but when the scorching sun was at the head, Lu Tian advanced 200 kilometers.
"It's strange, why haven't I encountered wild beasts or anything like that in the morning? Xiao Qi, do you know why? ”
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Lu Tian felt that something was wrong.
"Master, your request involves rules, if you want to know, you must use Xiao Qi's detection ability, you need to consume a chance, are you sure you want to know?"
Xiao Qi's answer made Lu Tian give up continuing, and it was better to stay at the critical moment with this limited opportunity.
"Don't care, let's see as we go!"
Lu Tian came all the way, and his body had become dirty, and his clothes were in tatters, like a wild man.
Lu Tian didn't dare to go down to the river to take a bath, there were a lot of dangerous things in the river, and it was even more difficult to deal with the danger, and he was reluctant to use Xiao Qi's strength, so he could only do so.
"Click~" Just as Lu Tian was chewing and eating a green wild fruit, he felt a vibration from behind.
"Bang bang~" like thousands of horses galloping, a large number of birds also flew out of the sky.
"Chirp" The chirping of birds is non-stop, whether it is big, small, yellow, or black, they all flutter their wings and hurriedly fly forward, as if something is chasing behind.
"Earthquake?"
Lu Tian first came up with this idea, but immediately rejected it because he found something unreasonable.
In the event of an earthquake, these animals should be able to sense it in advance, so as long as they are not stupid, they will run away, and the current situation is that only the birds in the area behind the right are frightened.
The "bang" should be the sound of animals on the ground running away, what makes them escape?
"It shouldn't be a fire either, there's no smoke."
Lu Tian wanted to consume a chance to let Xiao Qi help him take a look, but in the end he didn't use it, anyway, there is no danger at the moment.
"It's not good to have a lot of curiosity, so let's run, just run in front of them."
The panicked bird call reminded Lu Tian, who did not freeze in place, nor ran over to look curiously, and took advantage of the wind to run in front.
The rumble followed Lu Tian all the way, and the animal in front of him was sharper than him, and he ran first.
The birds behind flew fast, flew to both sides, and gradually disappeared, while Lu Tian was originally going in this direction, so he could only run down.
I couldn't help but marvel at the birds flying in front of me from time to time and the animals on the ground that began to flee.
"Xiao Qi, how do these animals know that they are in danger?"
If you don't understand, ask the encyclopedia Xiaoqi!
"Master, like you humans, all kinds of other creatures also have their own 'language', and with their keen perception, they can receive the information of danger and start running away before humans."
"That's why their race can survive, even if they are some creatures that are lower than humans, on the contrary, humans are very intelligent, but they rely too much on tools, and these abilities have degraded."
Xiao Qi took another class.
"Huh? Why do these bugs have to run, strange? ”
The more Lu Tian ran, the more weird he felt, what made some poisonous insects afraid?
Could it be? Thinking of this, Lu Tian was also a little afraid.
The rumbling sound was closer, and Lu Tian could see the smoke and dust floating behind him, and he could vaguely see groups of animals roaring in panic.
The distance between the two is slowly narrowing~
The appearance of some animals was slowly seen by Lu Tian.
The tigers and leopards of the Americas are all there, leading with their speed, there are very few of them, more of some of the food they usually hunt, all kinds of zebras, deer, wild horses and bison, but at this moment they have reached an agreement, do not interfere with each other, and are running forward.
Looking at the animals that were gradually approaching, Lu Tian felt the smell and dust in the air, so he could only give up and continue to run forward, and ran to the side.
The fastest speed of these animals can reach more than 100 kilometers per hour, and even if they can't reach that high now, they have a moving speed of seventy or eighty, which is not comparable to the current land and sky.
Even if he is physically strong, his speed cannot reach a hundred kilometers per hour.
Now he is at most more than 10 meters per second, and his speed can reach about 60 kilometers per hour, which is his limit.
If you continue to run, not to mention being trampled to death by the herd, you will also be pulled back and face danger.
"Damn, these animals are all pig brains, they know how to run with the animals in front of them, and they don't know how to run separately.
Lu Tian ran to the side, while despising the many animals that were somewhat brainless and conformist.
"Master, this is the thinking inertia of most creatures, and humans are still like this, they like to follow it."
Xiao Qi saw Lu Tian's somewhat disdainful expression, and in line with the principle of not letting the master be too proud and complacent, he struck a blow.
"Well, you're right, every species has this phenomenon of conformity, and there are also non-conformists."
I saw that only a small number of them ran to the side because they were too panicked, and most of them were running with the convoy. Lu Tian also put away the so-called sense of superiority, it was meaningless.
Ten minutes later, most of the animals had surpassed Lu Tian, but he was also more than ten miles away from the herd.
Lu Tian also saw the real murderer chasing and killing this group of animals behind.
It was a dense swarm of black ants, overwhelmingly coming.
Tens of millions of marching ants, turning into black torrents, are advancing at great speed.
This is not the ordinary marching ant of the past, but a new generation of xenomorphs born under a special vitality, each as large as a little finger, and some of them are the size of a thumb.
No wonder so many animals will run away, the previous marching ants were not terrifying, they generally ate other arthropods, and some birds and anteaters can be easily dealt with.
And now that each individual has grown in size, and the strength of the entire population has increased more than tenfold, it is no wonder that all beasts are terrified.
The ant colony covers more than a thousand meters, like a black step, which determines the life and death of a lone creature.
Lu Tian and the passing ant colony were less than two kilometers apart, and under the gaze of Lu Tian's super vision, he clearly saw the feeding scene of the ant colony.
All the marching ants frantically gnawed at everything they could eat, and the beasts and reptiles, which were unable to run or run slowly, or were injured and lonely, were rushed up, and their powerful jaws quickly tore the flesh apart, swallowing it in large gulps, leaving behind white bones.
Looking at the beasts that had eaten up their flesh and blood before they could even struggle, leaving behind white bones, Lu Tian felt his scalp tingle, and quietly took a few steps back.
If you fall into an ant colony now, you probably won't be able to last a few seconds!
Seeing that the ant colony did not move to his side, and by hunting the beast colony in front of him, Lu Tian did not run to the side, and walked in the direction of the destination, probably parallel to the direction of the ant colony, but it would not coincide.
The brutal predation faded away, leaving a mess behind.
