Chapter 344: Red Bulldog Ant
The miraculous ancient biological breeding technology, the scenes of Gu insect cultivation flashed in the depths of July's memory, and the breeding, cultivation and domestication of ant Gu insects was the most difficult type of Gu animals.
Because ants are raised as Gu worms, the first thing to solve is the cultivation problem. Most ant species that are valuable for cultivation are ferocious and aggressive by nature, and they must eat fresh blood and meat as staple foods to maintain their natural instincts.
In addition, a highly developed socialized division of labor has been formed within the ant group, and the main behavior of the ant colony is ordered by the queen ant, so there is a priority problem between the issuance of orders for the ant colony and the queen ant.
In short, ants are a type of Gu worm that is extremely difficult to train.
The ant colony in front of them behaves in an orderly manner, obviously following a behavioral instruction, what is controlling them? Is it an ant queen or a Gu man? July approached the cracked ground, leaning down on the curves of his body, his eyes directly admiring the movements of the ant colony.
As the only great witch in the direct lineage of modern witches, the breeding and cultivation of ants is the most reproducing part of Gu insect training, and even July has to praise the Gu master who cultivated this nest of red bulldog ants. July thought to herself, could this nest of ants be Tong Bingyang's masterpiece?
One of the largest ant species in the world, the nest of red bulldog ants in front of you is a fully developed adult ant with a bright red head and thorax and a dark black belly. The thick tail spines and large jaws are like blood, symbolizing the virulence of this ant toxin, and the slightest bite of it will produce a violent physical reaction, and the intense pain will last for one or two ends, and finally die.
The black-robed man sneered and glanced at the dense and terrifying ant colony, "Even the most powerful bulldog ants are not fatal, and the toxin will cause severe pain for a few days at most." ”
Ignorant, fearless, Ning Yun glanced at him with contempt, I really don't know how he survived at such an age, and he can still speak a lot in the face of the best wizard in Miao Jiang.
At this time, July's energy is focused on a litter of red bulldog ants, "No, this is the oldest red bulldog ant." The purest bloodline has been maintained. Biting any part of the body can be fatal. ”
The crack mouth is slowly rising, and the red bulldog ants in the depression are piling up in the depression as the terrain changes, getting closer and closer to the surface level, and it seems that the crack mouth is about to overflow.
July hurriedly got up and took a few steps back, the more ancient and less cognitive species habits are often extremely complex, this nest of red bulldog ants does not look like a vegetarian, with this number of ant colonies spread to people, it must gnaw away to the bones and slag.
As soon as the wave stopped, the wave rose again, the black-robed man wittily put aside his robe, took out a small bottle of ceramic bottled objects, opened the cap and could even smell a strong pungent smell, and I don't know if it has any effect on dealing with this group of ants. Stuffy his head sprinkled on the road in front of him, drawing a thin horizontal line in front of the three of them, hoping to block the trend of the ant colony.
July jerked Xiao Qiong's nose twice, and said in surprise: "Realgar, you brought realgar?" Do not spill. "Realgar is a sulfide mineral, the main component is arsenic disulfide, which has the effects of detoxification and insecticide, dampness and expectorant and malaria interception.
The black-robed man's approach is correct according to common sense, but in the face of Gu worms with unknown circumstances, the unauthorized use of medicinal powder may not be effective, and it will even be counterproductive.
His movements are extremely fast, which reflects the extraordinary skills of this person, and after being reminded on July 1, he still doesn't know what he has done wrong.
For a while, a large number of red bulldog ants entrenched in the crack wriggled violently, and their temperament was like being steamed by a fire, faintly causing restless emotions. Tens of thousands of ant colonies moved faster, and individual swift ants had already burst out of the cracks. The tentacles swung and searched, crawling towards the reassuring place of the three of them.
"I'll go, damn it." Ning Yun couldn't help but be rude, he had never seen such a reckless person, and sometimes it was not a good thing to overreact.
Ning Yun pulled July back two more steps, the wall behind them was already sealed, and the three of them had no way back.
Qiyue Xiu's eyebrows were slightly compact, and her palms couldn't help pinching a handful of cold sweat, "The more ancient the species, the more tyrannical and resistant it is." "The pungent powder of the realgar species does not work for them, but instead stimulates the ferocity of the red bulldog ants, and now they become extremely aggressive.
July is familiar with the habits of biological Gu worms, although he has never been in contact with this type of Gu worms, but he can also guess a little by observing their living conditions and habits.
"What now?" The black-robed man was obviously also prepared, in addition to the number of tricks in the ancient tomb, there may also be Gu worms and other fierce creatures as biological barriers, so he specially prepared realgar powder, but he didn't want to be self-defeating.
No matter what kind of creature is afraid of fire, he took out a bamboo tube from his treasure chest-like robe, and poured an extremely viscous liquid on the ground.
What is it this time again? Ning Yun is a little afraid of this strange thing now, he is indifferent, and he is extremely feared in all aspects of his background and skills, but he is idiotic to a certain extent in terms of biological habits and techniques, "What are these," Ning Yun was afraid that she would cause trouble again, and kept an eye on his every move.
Then he took out the fire fold and ignited the liquid on the ground. Suddenly, there was a strong light in the road, and a wave of heat came to the surface.
It's actually oil, but this also makes Ning Yun secretly breathe a sigh of relief, using biological nature to restrain them, it should always be effective.
The red flames lit up to a height of three meters, violently raising the temperature of the corridor by more than ten degrees, and the blazing waves of air were suffocating.
"What does it smell like?" A scorching smell faintly penetrated Ningyun's snort.
"I guess it's the Red Bulldog ants." Such a fire easily stopped the attack of the ant colony, and the black-robed people thought that they should retreat obediently. Animals have a natural tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they will not go forward without a brain.
No, why is the burnt smell getting heavier and heavier. July was cautious about his practice of playing with fire, neither stopping nor approving of it, thinking that if this ancient Gu worm was so easy to deal with, it wouldn't need to be placed here.
Call! The black-robed man looked surprised. As the denser and denser ant colonies passed, the fire was gradually weakening with the spread of time, and the heavy scorching smell became more and more intense.
He looked at it with his fingers at a loss, his face dazed. The means of dealing with Gu insects have been exhausted, and now there is only a wait-and-see share, maybe the girl from Miao Jiang will have special means to deal with it.
July glanced at the black pressure ant colony, and did not reply, secretly hoping that this kind of Gu worm should be afraid of that kind of thing, but don't stimulate their temperament anymore. Ancient species have survived in nature so far, and the survival of the fittest under harsh living conditions has caused them to produce poisonous tail spines and ferocious ferocity, and the common common feature of Gu insects is bloodthirsty, and the ferocity of smelling blood has not only doubled.
July wore a short miao-made scimitar with her, and she slipped the scimitar out of her cuff, gritted her teeth and made a cut in her arm, letting the blood splash on the ground one by one, controlling the blood to draw a straight line.
There was a numbing pain from the wound, and July pursed his lips and bit his lip, his eyes looked at the surging ant colony, and his heart was cold to freezing.
Approaching the mouth of the blood line, the ant colony slowly stopped to watch, and the antennae of its head swept the blood on the ground, and retracted violently, as if it had touched some kind of corrosive liquid, and retreated a few centimeters like an electric shock.
It works, July smiled and looked at the group of cute little creatures, in fact, July didn't want to hurt them.
The black-robed man was immediately stunned, his eyes lit up as he watched the behavior of the ant colony, and he stood in disbelief, thinking, "Is it the chemical principle of Gu repellent?" Her blood contains a special chemical composition that makes the Red Bulldog ant afraid to approach? He was more and more sure of his thoughts, the Gu worm's ability to recognize chemical signals was amazing.
As everyone knows, July has eaten vegetables and fruits made of special formulas since he was a child, and he needs to feed Gu worms, so he must undergo the erosion of various Gu worm toxins. This cruel method will only be used on the most promising Gu art inheritors. She naturally produces antibodies to Gu worms in her blood, and her own blood is even highly toxic to all kinds of Gu worms.
The red bulldog ant has no intention of retreating, hovering in front of the blood line, neither daring to cross the line, nor willing to retreat. The situation is a stalemate.
"Why aren't they leaving?" Ning Yun had never seen this kind of situation, from the point of view of the chemical odor control Gu, July's blood was an extremely high existence in the control authority of the Gu worms, there was no reason why this group of ants still relied on it.
"Shhh Hiss! The restless voices of the ant colony formed a series of profound notes, understood from the Gu language, this is the collective pronunciation of the grumpy Gu worm to express anger.
"My permissions." July paused, as if to confirm whether his thoughts were correct, and after being convinced, he added, "My authority is not as high as their master's. ”
Master? If the ant colony had been placed here since the beginning of the construction of the Yongdao, it had undergone more than a thousand years of changes, and the survival period of the Gu insects was limited, and the first generation of ant colonies had already turned to dust. How could there still be a problem of high and low control authority, according to the knowledge of Gu insects that Ning Yun had learned, they should be a group of ownerless creatures now.
Ning Yun said, "What do girls mean, is the Gu Master who cultivated them still alive?" Soon she denied herself again, Peng Zu, who had a lifespan of 800 years, was old, who could live for more than 1,000 years without dying. So what is the reason why this group of red bulldog ants stay here one by one, and they have to get along with themselves.
