Chapter 133: Horror Population!
Duan Qing: "Do you know that if you talk like this, you will die in a hurry?" ”
Duan Qing: "What did you hear, tell us quickly!" ”
"The sound of saws sawing leaves."
Xu Liang's answer was too brief, and although this answer sounded fine at first glance, it made people feel more awkward the more they thought about it.
The saw is used to make wood, and it is awkward to describe it as a leaf. Leaves can be eaten by insects, but it is strange to be sawn off.
The two words can't be linked.
But Xu Liang said it categorically.
The rustling sound gradually increased, Duan Qing frowned, and also figured it out in an instant. This sound cannot be anything else but that of an insect.
And it must be the kind of insect that plucks the feathers of geese, the kind that eats all the leaves. Because the creatures in the biosphere may have mutated to a certain extent, perhaps the mouthparts of this insect have also become sharper, which produces the so-called "saws against leaves" sound.
Since Xu Liang has a keen sense of hearing, he may be able to hear the difference between the sounds produced by eating leaves, which represents the "evolved mouthparts".
This not only shows that Xu Liang's senses are far better than ordinary people, but also shows that these insects are ...... I'm afraid it's not easy to mess with!
No wonder he was in a hurry to find flint!
And listening to this sound, such a large area, the most direct large group of insects that can be thought of, and there is no grass left everywhere they go, is ants.
The key question is what the ants say...... Most likely mutated!
Since you can meet such a strange rabbit, then the ants are very similar!
If rabbits can mutate into more than 100 pounds, what about ants?
Duan Qing thought about it, and felt goosebumps rise on her body. Rabbits and ants are both social animals, but rabbits generally have a group of more than a dozen rabbits, and at most there are only a few dozen...... Ants are super social animals in groups of at least 100,000 people! If there is another variant, what must happen?
At this time, Xu Liang moved quickly, he pulled out all the shrubs and weeds on the ground around him, piled them in the direction of the rustling sound in front of him, and then lit them with flint.
In such a short period of time, the "rustle" sound that represents the great terror is closer.
By the light of the fire, the three of them could see the large area in front of them.
Black press!
Dense!
Just as she estimated, it was a black ant!
Surprisingly, this large swarm of black ants was not much different from the ants we usually see. There is no variation in body size, and the size is the size of a small thumb knuckle, which is only slightly larger than the average ant. So it's just that the population is a little bit bigger.
But seeing the situation behind this group of ants, you can draw a conclusive fact - this group of ants is definitely mutated!
Because behind them, not a single grass grows!
Following the path of this group of ants, a bare straight line was created! And beyond their paths lies the borders of green shrubs and trees! It's like drawing with a ruler.
But they all know that it's not painted, it's eaten!
Duanqing even saw a big tree that had exactly half of its trunk entered that boundary, and as a result, half of it was eaten raw!
This destructive power! This destroys the speed!
From the first time I heard the rustling sound to the time I approached, it was actually only a minute or two later, and the ants had already eaten up everything on the road!
And by the light of the fire, you can see that this group of black and oppressive things is still rapidly approaching them.
Lao Xu's face was very bad.
Xu Liang's actions were also very fast, trying to burn the fire as vigorously as possible.
The flames crackled, and the ant colony not far ahead was also rapidly approaching.
Duanqing couldn't help but say, "Actually, I don't expect the fire to stop this group of ants. ”
She said so, but still hoped that Xu Liang would say something to refute her. Unconsciously, Lao Xu, a guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, has become a "person with methods" in her heart.
The so-called people who have a solution are those who can think of a solution in any situation. Although from the current situation, it seems that it is only a matter of a minute or two before the ants eat them all. She subconsciously didn't think that Xu Liang could really think of any way.
"Why don't you run yet?" Seeing that Xu Liang didn't answer him directly, she asked again.
Xu Liang still didn't speak. At this moment, his expression was nervous, and instead of running away, he began to listen attentively again!
"What else are you listening to? I've seen it all! Don't run yet! "Duanqing is really anxious now.
Xu Liang looked at her with a complicated expression: "Which direction are you running?" Running backwards? ”
"That's right."
Xu Liang didn't answer, and lit the grass behind him. This time, the vision behind is also there.
"See for yourself." Xu Liang said.
So Duanqing was surprised to find out...... There's also a swarm of ants in the back!
Double-sided pinch!
Just like the group ahead, if not more!
It's really over now......
Duan Qing had already seen the scene where the mutant ants went to no grass, and knew that this would almost lose hope.
Although Xu Liang moves fast, the ants are not slow, and it is difficult for him to protect himself. At this time, the retreat was blocked, and he could only try his best to escape from the side, and if he wanted to take two more people with him, it would be almost impossible.
Faced with the ants attacking back and forth, Duanqing was almost desperate. However, Xu Liang's eyes narrowed.
He looked at the second group of ants coming from behind, and asked without looking back, "Duanqing, you can take a look at it for me." ”
Duanqing: ???
Xu Liang: "Take a look, is the group of ants coming from behind different from the group of black ants in front?" ”
Duan Qing had already gone out at this time anyway, and she stared at the back again.
The light is really dim and weaker than the moonlight. However, after Duanqing saw it herself, her eyes suddenly lit up!
"This group is different from that group!" Duan Qing almost screamed out, "This group is termites!" ”
The light is too dim, and although the color of termites is different from ordinary black ants, it can only be seen when it is close.
Duanqing's eyes flashed, as if she had regained hope. She stared at Xu Liang, and found that Xu Liang was also staring at her, and she also saw an expression of hope!
Xu Liang blurted out: "I have seen termites and ants fight several times!" ”
Duan Qing also said: "Termites and ants are natural enemies!" ”
The two of them spoke at the same time, although the words were different, but they expressed the same meaning!
These two groups are likely to fight on their own!
If that's the case...... Maybe there's no time to take care of them?
Xu Liang reacted extremely quickly.
"Fight!". He walked over with a brisk step, hugged Duanqing's waist and hips with one hand to lift her up, and climbed the tree frantically with the other hand, climbed seven or eight meters and threw Duanqing on a relatively stable branch.
followed him and kept jumping down, and concocted Duan Han up in the same way.
Duan Han is still researching the fangs, and is testing the fangs with a complex device, ignoring everything around him. It wasn't until Xu Liang hugged her tightly that he said, "Oh, old Xu...... My rabbit! Bring it to me, and the teeth! The most important thing is the fangs! I've unplugged it! ”
Lao Xu has managed so much, the most important thing is to race against time, he handed Duan Han Yun to her sister. By the time he got down the tree for the second time, the ant colony had arrived!
Xu Liang hooked up the big backpack with one foot. With an empty hand, I thought for 0.1 seconds, and finally decided to take away the fangs and experimental equipment that had been taken out, the rabbit's body was too heavy to be able to do so, so I had to stay in place.
And then it's just a life-threatening climb up the tree!
In this case, he's gambling!
Bet on whether termites and ants, who are natural enemies of each other, will fight directly after seeing each other, or whether two groups will become a group and eat the tree and the three of them!
If you really lose the bet...... As soon as Xu Liang thought of this, he felt a sharp pain in his feet, as if someone had cut off a piece of meat with a knife. Looking down, it was an extremely ferocious black ant gnawing at his feet.
Xu Liang didn't stop at all, until he climbed to the position of the branch of the tree seven or eight meters away, and then he freed up his hand and leaned over to pinch the ant to death.
Then, he looked down in his field of vision with apprehension. I kept muttering in my heart:
Let's fight.
Hurry up!
Don't come up!
Don't come up!
If it really comes up......
Three meters, two meters, one meter! The dim light added, and the pitch-black ant colony and the termite colony finally collided violently.
The line that hit happened to be in the position of this big tree!
