Volume 2: Chapter 60 - The Aftermath of the Ant's Mouth

On the second day of the dance in the woods, everyone put on specially prepared clothes and pants to prevent mosquito bites, long boots, and brought water bottles, dry food, compasses, binoculars and field investigation equipment, and began to burrow into the dense forest and start to march to another woodland.

The dense foliage of the forest completely obscured the sky, and the light in the forest was very faint. The unique roots of tropical trees stand like a wall in front of everyone, and the ground is filled with countless vines and humus. The crowd struggled forward under the guidance of the black guides, and occasionally a ray of sunlight shone through the loopholes between the branches and leaves, like a strong searchlight into the forest. The group of nine entered a swamp, and everyone used machetes to cut off a huge blade like a small boat, spread it on the swamp, and the group slowly walked on it. A small stream more than 3 meters wide crossed in front of you. The people in front waded past, and Professors Mike and Johnson walked last. Mike saw that the old professor was not wearing boots, so he carried him over. As soon as they reached the creek, their feet suddenly sank, and they fell into the mud at the bottom of the stream. In desperation, Mike threw the old professor off his back and ashore. By this time, the water and mud had reached his waist, and the soles of his feet were sinking straight down as if they were stepping on a bottomless pit. Mary and the son of the chief of the indigenous tribes, the black boy, who had arrived earlier, quickly cut off a branch and handed it to him, when the muddy water of the swamp had reached his chest, and everyone dragged him up from the muddy water of the swamp, and once again brushed shoulders with death, and his whole body was paralyzed.

When they walked out of the swamp, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As everyone knows, extreme danger is imminent.

When the group of nine came to rest in front of a small mountain bag, Mary and Mike snuggled up to the mountain bag and drank a little water, and were about to sit down to rest, when suddenly, Mary saw a hole under the mountain bag, and in the dim light of the forest, a small barrel thick black animal crawled out of the hole, like a python, but she was not sure. Her first instinct was to scream that there was a python, and at the same time pointed the African machete she was holding in her hand in the direction of the hole, and her body took several steps back. The black boy also screamed when he saw it, saying that the carnivorous ants were coming, so run away! Sure enough, it was a black belt of countless ants, which was rapidly extending from the hole under the hill. Everyone panicked and ran after the black boy who led the way。。。。。。

It turned out that this hill bag turned out to be a huge ant nest. These ants are the true kings of the forest - carnivorous ants. These carnivorous ants, which are about 5 centimeters long and crawl faster than other parts of Asia and other places, are said to have escaped from Professor Johnson's laboratory and are so ferocious that they are feared by all animals in the forest. If a large python is surrounded by ant colonies, it will not be long before only a pile of white bones remains. If this carnivorous ant passes by the village, everyone has to flee for shelter. Everywhere the ant colony passes, all cockroaches and rats will be wiped out。。。。。。

During the run, they gradually regained their senses and began to take advantage of the weakness of this ant's poor eyesight under the leadership of the black teenager to desperately run in the direction of the downwind. In this way, the ants cannot find them without smelling the scent of the living. After running for a hundred and ten meters, she stopped to see that she still hadn't gotten rid of the ant colony, and at this time, Mary saw that several ants had crawled on the old professor's body. Everyone hurriedly ran more than 300 meters to shake off the pursuit of the ants, but there were still a few ants that bit Professor Johnson's neck and couldn't pull it off, and the ants' buttocks were still tightly bitten into the flesh even if they tore off their mouths. Finally, when they ripped the ants off, they saw that the old professor had bitten off a few pieces of flesh the size of sugar particles on his neck, and blood beads were coming out of the wound. When this ant bites, it secretes a kind of formic acid, and if the ant bites too much, the person will lose consciousness due to formic acid poisoning. And once a person falls, it will be covered by an ant colony, and that's it. Although the scene just now really frightened everyone, fortunately, there was no danger.

After a short walk around the ant nest, the group finally arrived at the destination of the trip and began their forest survey. Mary thought this was the charm of Africa's primeval forests, a place to love and hate。。。。。。
