As he spoke, Li Qing smeared the foul smell from his hand all over the branches, and at the same time gave some leaves to Chen Si, "Let's come together." ”
"It's disgusting." Chen Si took the leaf, tore it a little and sniffed it, "It reminds me of a color that I accidentally opened when I was in junior high school." Love movies, smearing this thing, is not much better than smearing stool. ”
"Hunting is not an easy thing in itself." Li Qing had already smeared things on his body as he spoke, "When lions hunt on the grassland, sometimes in order to improve the success rate, they will roll on the feces of other animals to cover up the smell of their predators, the former king of the grassland is still like this, are we not much worse than it?" ”
As Li Qing spoke, she carefully smeared the foul-smelling juice on herself, and although Chen Si was a little unhappy, fortunately she didn't have the habits of the eldest lady, and in the mission world, if you want to live, even if you have those habits, you have to hold back
So although the three of them were not happy, they still made preparations one after another, and then Zhizhi looked at Li Qing and waited for his next arrangement.
"There's an ant's nest in the canopy, and the ants are in the hollow of the tree, like bees, swarming." Li Qing explained what he saw, "The density of flying ants in the center is relatively large, but there are scattered in-situ guards at the edges, and I will follow you to that vicinity with Chen Si for a while, and then you approach the flying ants, after approaching a distance of three or four meters, you should be able to see it, and then use your charm skills to see the effect." If the effect is good, maintain the spiritual power to draw it away, and then slowly acclimatize. ”
"What if something happens?" Chen Si asked.
"Well, you follow the branch not far behind, my bow and crossbow are loaded, don't move if there is no situation, immediately attack the target and rescue the branch - before alarming the ant colony, run away at the first moment." Li Qing arranged it more properly, succeeding and failing, preparing with both hands.
"Okay." Zhizhi nodded after hearing this, "Lao Li, lead the way."
"Hmm." Li Qing also nodded, no longer talking nonsense, poked his probe directly from behind the tree, and after observing the movement again, he turned on his visual senses all the way, and then bypassed the tree where he was hiding and walked in the direction of the ant nest.
First walked more than ten meters under the tree, then he slowly climbed to a huge tree, after climbing to a certain height, hidden behind a leaf, the ant nest was only ten meters away, and seven or eight meters away in front of him, there was a lone flying ant.
The bow and crossbow were loaded, Li Qing confirmed the location of the flying ant again, and now the other party was not alert, and then compared a "ok" gesture to the two people who followed behind him, and then compared an "eight" gesture, indicating that the target was already within eight meters of his sight.
After seeing Li Qing's gesture, Zhizhi and Chen Si naturally went up the tree quietly, hiding behind the leafy branches, and clinging to Li Qing.
"You two go, I'll bow and crossbow to support." Li Qing waved his hand, pointed in a precise direction, and said in an almost whispered voice: "There is a red leaf, the flying ant is on the branch above the leaf, be careful not to let the branch shake violently, although that thing relies on the nose as a sense, but there is also some touch, and it may be alerted in advance if the movement is too big." ”
"Hmm." Chen Si and Zhizhi nodded, and then the two of them took a deep breath, lifted their breath to their chests, and cautiously moved along the resin.
"Let's go, it's okay." Li Qing knew that in the sight of the two of them, they couldn't see anything at all, except for the thick red mist in front of them, the leaves and branches of the two or three meters in front of them, so behind them, there was also a voice from time to time to remind them, "I will alert you if there is any movement, I am ready to open the control at any time, you can put it."
Hearing Li Qing's words, Zhizhi made a gesture of a chicken pecking rice behind him, indicating that he had received it, and then continued to move forward in the direction that Li Qing had guided before. After walking a few more meters, she finally saw the red leaves that Li Qing said in her mouth, and the giant flying ants lying on it.
Looking at this evolved monster up close, both Chen Si and Zhizhi could feel its strength from the other party's physical structure. When they followed the flying ants to hunt before, they almost didn't see what this thing looked like, after all, their vision was blocked, and they all listened to Li Qing alone, and even if they saw it, it was a phantom. Now that I look at it, I can see that this guy is even more powerful than Li Qing described.
Judging from the physical appearance alone, the armor on this guy's body has a metallic luster like black iron, and without too much explanation, just looking at the texture can tell how hard this guy's body is—but Li Qing has also explained before that the strength of ants is almost the largest among all animals, and each of their muscles is a small motor structure, which can burst out more than five hundred times more power than the same mass of human muscles. Therefore, the body structure of the ant is also very strong, and because of this, when people step on the ant, they will make that "click" sound - the source of this sound is the sound of the solid structure being destroyed, and only when the hard thing is broken, this sound will be produced. If a person is trampled to death by a huge creature, it will definitely not be a "click" but a "snap" - a "snap" sound like mud falling on the ground.
How strong you are, you have to have a strong physique -- otherwise, if you give a person five hundred times more muscular strength, you can throw your arms away with a punch. A punch smashes someone in the face, and his fist and the opponent's face become pulp together.
The moment Zhizhi saw the structure of the flying ant, he thought of what Li Qing had said before, but it was a long thing to say, but it was all a matter of thought-in the final analysis, the ant looked very hard.
The body is shinier than the metal carving, and the texture is clear at a glance.
The front part of the hard body has sharper pincer-shaped mouthparts, and in addition to the ferocious mouthparts, the difference between this giant flying ant and the previous ants is the front pair of forelimbs, which have evolved into two sickle-like things that are more convenient for hunting, very sharp, and the wings behind them are not ordinary cicada wings, but strange iron wings like a layer of flesh in the middle of the barbed wire, which will not be damaged under the huge fanning, and the whole thing is like a mechanical structure, the whole body, fully armed.
"This stuff is good." Glancing at the flying ant, Chen Si drew a sentence with his lips, "Come on, I'll look at you." ”
Nodding, without speaking, the branch hid behind the leaves, gathered mental power and moved the charm skill on the flying ant, a strange spiritual power accompanied by brain waves surged, the flying ant seemed to be blown by a gust of wind and the antennae on the forehead suddenly trembled, and then the strange probe officer searched for a while, and pointed the tips of the two tentacles at the branch in unison.
"Coming" Seeing that the tentacles of the soldier ants had already appeared in the position of the two of them, Chen Si clenched the short sword, and Li Qing's fingers had already touched the trigger of the shot, and as soon as something happened, the crossbow arrow immediately came out of the disembowel.
But fortunately, after a period of detection, the soldier ant did not have the kind of special alert behavior after appearing the enemy, neither calling for friends nor directly attacking, but after waving its tentacles twice in some confusion, its six limbs slowly moved, and walked along the branch towards the branch - it seemed that a child was interested in something, but it didn't know what it was, both curious and a little ignorant, and the frequently swinging tentacles seemed to reveal its inner doubts.
With the insect's pitiful intelligence, it must have been difficult to understand why he had suddenly become interested in one thing—arthropods were stronger than mammals, but comparatively much weaker. The evolutionary history of life on earth seems to be a process in which the body is getting weaker and weaker, and the brain is getting better and better, arthropods are much lower than mammals, even if there is a mutation since the arrival of the red mist, the head is also a little easier, but after all, the base is too low, and it is not easy to double.
Just relying on the guidance of interest and acting on instinct, the flying ant approached the branch step by step, three meters, two meters, one meter...... It's still getting closer.
And watching the iron tongs in front of him approaching step by step, not only were the branches nervous, but even Chen Si and Li Qing's palms were sweating-after all, if the flying ants approached the branches at a certain distance, it would suddenly be difficult, and the two of them would not be able to rescue them even if they were fast. But now if you want to stop it, it's not realistic, after all, if you attack rashly, not only will this operation be wasted, but also there is the possibility of alarming the ant colony.
Of course, the most nervous of the three was the branch—she watched the ant's pincers approach step by step, and at last the sharp thing was almost close to her face, and when she took a step further, the sharp pincers were about to pierce her cheek, and the ant stopped, and then continued to probe her face with her tentacles—like a strange dog recognizing her scent, very delicate.
Its actions made the branches sweat, and they didn't know what to do, and the scene stiffened there for a while.
When people are nervous, their bodies will secrete a special smell - fear is sour, nervousness is a foul smell, this smell may not be obvious to humans, but the olfactory organs of animals are hundreds or thousands of times more agile than humans, and they can sense this kind of emotion in an instant. The rancid stench of the leaves on his body had had little effect within the distance of his face to his face, and he felt the nervous and frightened feelings of the branches, and the ant was infected, and his body suddenly stiffened, and his hind limbs were tense, and the iron tongs and sickle arms began to tremble slightly, as if they were about to attack.
Seeing this situation, Li Qing put his tongue against the roof of his mouth behind him, and there was a snake-like blowing sound, and after receiving this signal, Zhizhi slowly turned around and saw that Li Qing had slowly approached her line of sight, talking with a mouth shape and a very slight voice.
"Don't be nervous, relax your nervousness and it will be nervous, just like facing a mad dog, the more you are afraid of it, the more it will bite you"
"You take it easy, it still likes you more, otherwise with the habits of animals in this jungle, it would have pounced on you and tore you apart."
"To show good intentions, touch it"
