Many people mistakenly believe that termites are branches of ants. In fact, termites and ants belong to completely different species.

Termites are semi-metamorphosed insects that first arose in the Permian period. Ants are fully metamorphosed insects, and because their jaws are stronger and more powerful, the percentage of soldier ants is higher, and it often occupies an absolute advantage in the confrontation with termites.

As a result, ants are a natural enemy of termites, and they are extremely powerful enemies.

The same is true of the current situation.

Xu Liang brought the Duanqing and Duanhan sisters to the tree at the moment of crisis, and the three of them were able to look down from a higher position. The black and white camps collided like a torrent.

Black ants have a huge advantage!

In an instant, the battle line began to move in the direction of termites.

Termites can't hold on!

The dim light can only cover a small area, but even this small range can show the tragedy of the battle.

On the battle line, there were countless corpses in a matter of seconds. The termites and ants in the rear continued to charge forward without fear.

Even Xu Liang could see that the ground that was originally gentle gradually rose up a small gentle slope because of the stacking of corpses!

The termites were in a rout, and the battle line had been suppressed by the black ants for two or three meters, but they were still resisting, tenacious and unyielding.

This situation made Xu Liang worried.

Originally, it was none of his business for the ants to fight with termites, the key problem was that if one of them wins, they will have to be harvested from the trees. That's the trouble!

Based on what they had seen before, this big tree alone would never be able to save them......

It's a mutant ant! I've seen them eat half of the trees!

If the black ant side wins, Xu Liang and the three of them will definitely have a hard time. But the flip around, if it's the termites that win...... The ancient saying "A thousand miles of embankment is destroyed in an anthill" refers to termites! Termites naturally eat trees, and the symbiotic protists in their bodies can easily decompose wood fibers that are difficult to be digested by other organisms and be used by termites, which is a classic symbiotic relationship in nature. Therefore, no matter which side wins, it will be disastrous for Xu Liang and the others.

And that's not all. Black ants and termites are still mutated!

Their mutation effect is not visible in terms of volume, but in actual combat...... Xu Liang's eyes were sharp, and he actually found the commander on the battlefield!

That's right, the Commander! It's like the generals of ancient times used the command flag to dispatch the army!

Especially on the termite side!

At the back of them is a particularly large, palm-sized termite that commands with its antennae. It commands the secondary termites at the front, and these secondary termites are like mid-level officers in the army, and they command the termites of direct combat on the front line!

Termites, forming a good three-level command mode!

So although there is a physical disadvantage in direct confrontation, termites do not rout directly. It can even create a situation in a small area where three or four termites besiege ants all the time!

Xu Liang couldn't help but admire it when he saw it...... This is almost the prototype of the simplest art of conducting!

The essence of this phenomenon is even more striking: we usually think of termites as social creatures that manifest themselves in instinct, but in this case, it is definitely a manifestation of wisdom!

Maybe even wiser than the average human!

It's as if Zhuge Liang is a military genius among the human race, but if you come to a stinker...... It's possible, no, definitely worse than these termites in front of you!

Xu Liang couldn't help but think of the eyes of the group of rabbits just now, especially the leader of the rabbits who left last, and its various tactical arrangements......

Mutation, if it's just physical energy, or even pulling out a bomb, it's nothing, but mutating out wisdom, or even the wisdom of commanding art...... This thing is very scary.

Compared with the superb command art of the termite, the black ant side is relatively more dependent on physical ability. Their jaws and strength allow them to barely outstand. There are also commanders among the Black Ants, but they are clearly not as proficient in tactics as the Termites.

Of course, it doesn't seem to be needed.

The wolves are killed in the flock, and even if there is a sheep in command, the last wolf will be the victor.

To destroy an average of one ant, it takes at least two termites to besiege it! And at least four termites can completely separate the head and abdomen of a black ant's bite without damage.

The battle situation is very unfavorable for termites.

Therefore, they are not optimistic about Xu Liang and the others. Because after the ants have completely defeated the termites, they have to go back and clean them up.

However, at this moment, Xu Liang moved!

He broke off a number of small branches from the side, then broke them into finger-length lengths and lit them separately.

A shining spark is a bit like a candle in the night.

Duanqing looked at Xu Liang's movements, as if she suddenly understood something: "Are you going to ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Liang shoot out one by one small branches with fire as darts!

He was fighting a swarm of black ants.

One sprig at a time, but the launch speed is very fast, and more than a dozen are shot out in an instant!

This small flame is as small as a drop in the ocean for a huge colony of black ants. But Xu Liang played very accurately.

He fought on the front of the black ant swarm, the kind of commander with a large size.

A dozen branches with flames went down, and the situation on the battlefield immediately changed!

The black ant colony lost its commander almost instantly, and the black soldier ants suddenly lost the direction of attack and blindly rushed to kill. The entire front was immediately torn open by the termite colony several times in an instant, and a situation of more fighting less was formed in many places.

At this time, the black ants can only survive through their strong physical combat power.

Duanqing looked at this situation and said, "I know." You're going to help the termites, you're going to make them lose both! ”

Xu Liang ignored him and just shook his head slightly.

He kept moving, still throwing the twigs with the flames.

These branches and darts kept falling on the commander of the black ant colony, and the battle situation of the termite colony was gradually improving, and it was almost a tie with the black ants!

Seeing this situation, Duan Qing frowned and said, "Okay, it's almost over, the two of them are already evenly matched!" ”

Xu Liang didn't speak, and continued to throw.

Duanqing waited for more than ten seconds, and when she saw that Xu Liang ignored her, she finally became a little anxious: "Okay." Don't help termites anymore! If this continues, the termites will win too easily, and the termites will have a lot of ...... left."

Xu Liang finally glanced back at her and continued.

At this time, Duan Qing finally became anxious: "Xu Liang, are you an idiot?" Why not keep them evenly matched? In this way, isn't it good that both sides are all dead? ”

She continued: "If the termites come back and win, and there is still a group left, do you think we can keep this tree?" They'll come up and eat us! Don't throw fire branches anymore! ”

When she said this, Xu Liang finally looked back at her, and Xu Liang's eyes were very unusual: "You didn't find these termites...... Pretty smart? ”

"I found it, so what?"

Xu Liang: "They may be quite smart, even ...... On par with humans! Have you thought about this possibility? ”

Duan Qing was finally stunned for a moment, and then pondered.

Xu Liang continued: "We have an old saying - it is better to send carbon in the snow than to put the icing on the cake and give people a fish than to send the Buddha to the west. So I thought...... Take a gamble!

"What do you think of taking a gamble...... What do you think? ”

Duanqing was stunned again!

She understood Xu Liang's thoughts in an instant, could it be that he wanted to ...... Play a bigger one?
