Dense and massive swarms of insects weaved and stirred through the thick clouds, chasing the little remaining heat, greedily devouring everything in sight.

But in the depths of this dense fist-sized insect swarm, there is a peculiar-shaped insect, its upper body volume is only two or three times that of ordinary insects, but the tail is tens of meters long, and the whole volume is larger than that of ordinary small airboats.

...

"Female? What is it? Black Wind asked, his face clasped.

"The mother of the swarm?" Xinqiu guessed.

"Yes, it's probably its spawning season now, otherwise these bugs wouldn't be chasing us so ferociously." Wood carefully recalled the knowledge in the book, "Most of these desperate bugs have little life left before they go crazy and blow themselves up." ”

"Then why do you say it's bad news?" Hua Ye said he didn't understand.

"Females have intelligence."

...

Soon after entering the clouds, the swarm split into several slender "tentacles", which diverged and flew down from multiple directions like devil's claws, gradually enveloping all possible directions of escape for the airship, and the group had no idea that they could only dodge the self-detonating night aphids that were chasing after them, while urging the little boy to speed up the production time.

Hua Ye held his dizzy head and climbed to the mouth of the deck again, and it didn't take long for the airboat to start twisting left and right twice in a regular manner, which was the prompt they had prepared, so that Hua Ye could throw the glitter demon pattern slate out.

Hua Ye took a deep breath, his fingernails smashing the black fuse on the edge of the slate, and then threw it far away like a frisbee to the densest place in the rear swarm, and then retracted the airboat without looking back.

The boy had turned off all the rearview systems, and although he was curious about how powerful the flash could be, he still resisted his curiosity and listened to the little boy's admonition.

The glittering slate swirled and flew into the swarm, and the nocturnal aphids didn't take it seriously at all, still chasing the airboat, probably due to the haste of the little kid's production, the slate detonation time was about five seconds longer than the kid's expected maximum time, and it almost fell to the bottom of the swarm before it burst out with an extremely terrifying burst of light.

Wan Xiaoman was driving nervously at this time, and suddenly the surrounding clouds changed from dark gray to snow-white and bright, and the sister and brother looked at the clouds like daytime and opened their mouths wide in shock, and almost at the same time, they finally broke out of the clouds and saw the sea.

Although there is a large deviation between the location of the detonation and the expected position, it still has a considerable interference with the pursuit of the swarm, the fierce light penetrates the clouds, and the dense shadows of the swarm are infinitely elongated and projected in all directions, and the nearby night aphid is illuminated by the light, and it stops flying in a daze, and falls straight to the sea. Feed the 'noctuidad' and let it fall into a dormant state until the next time it eats, but the sudden super light will cause the nocturnal aphid to fall unconscious and fall directly from the air, which is called 'drunken light'. ”

The bright light lasted for a short time, and after a few breaths, it was annihilated, and the air was once again shrouded in night, and the insect swarm responsible for chasing in the rear was seriously disturbed by the strong light, and fell into chaos for a while, and even a considerable part of the insect swarm at the head no longer chased the empty boat, but was attracted by the strong light, turned its head and flew backwards.

The entire encirclement lacked the drive of the rear pointed head team, giving the airship an opportunity to quickly distance itself from the swarm and fly towards the sea.

...

Although the mother worm has intelligence, most of the situation is also instinct above all else, and she was stunned for a long time after seeing the bright light from a distance, and only reacted when the light disappeared, because the light did not have any heat at all, just pure brightness, and this light greatly exceeded the ability of the night aphid, so that her countless people "drunk light" fell, and the encirclement plan was disrupted, allowing the empty boat to slip out of the encirclement.

The tentacles on the top of the angry mother's head were swinging wildly, and from time to time there was a dark red light, and the mother's emotions and instructions were transmitted through the tentacles like lightning in the swarm, and the wings of the night aphid flapped like a wave, spreading outward from the center of the mother, and the cloud was almost about to be shaken apart.

The encirclement network has lost its first opportunity, so it has begun to desperately increase its speed.

Several claw-like swarms quickly merged into one in the sky above, becoming several times thicker than the one that had pursued the airship before, and with the anger of the queen, like a javelin from hell, it was inserted towards Hua Ye and them.

...

Fortunately, Wan Xiaoman seized the opportunity and drove up the horsepower output after escaping for a period of time, plus even if he fell, he had already left the deadly cloud far behind him in less than a minute.

When they opened the rearview crystal again, they found that there was not even a single insect behind them, which made the siblings happy.

But Hua Ye, who poked his head out of the deck, was not happy at all, his vision far exceeded the rear view system of the airboat, and he saw the huge swarm of insects stirring in the clouds, and the speed was more than a star and a half faster than before.

Breaking the news to the others, everyone was silent except for the little kid, who was still nervously making it, and Wood rubbed his fingers in his eyes, pondering what to do, and then he spoke: "I have to rush to the bottom of the sea." ”

Hearing this, the work in the little kid's hand suddenly stopped: "Then do I still need to do this?" ”

"The intelligence of the mother worm is higher than the one recorded in the book, and I think the second slate of glitter may not have a surprising effect."

The little kid was helpless, so he snorted, threw the half-finished slate to the side, and lay flat on the bed, and the little boy ran over to inquire about the situation.

After learning that there was only one way to rush to the bottom of the sea and wait for dawn, Xiao Tong immediately retorted: "It's okay for our airboat to slide on the water, but rushing to the bottom of the sea is likely to cause great damage to the power system, because it is all-metal, and once we lose power, we will only sink." ”

At this time, Xiao Man's voice came from the radio system: "Now the rearview system can see the swarm, and it is expected to be caught up in ten minutes." ”

"Can you go any faster?" Hua Ye asked Xiao Tong.

"It's already a limit load flight, and it won't last too long, otherwise the power system will overheat and explode."

"Hey, these broken bugs, if only a flock of big birds caught them!" Xinqiu said angrily.

"Huh?" Wood's eyes widened when he heard the bird, "That's a reminder to me!" Everyone immediately took out the dry food they were carrying! Preferably meaty! ”

A group of people stared at each other, not knowing what Wood meant, only Black Wind and Alex seemed to understand something, and then Black Wind immediately took out the space bag on his waist and threw all kinds of jerky and sausages out.

"What is this for?" Hua Ye asked puzzled.

"Time waits for no one, I'll explain to you while I dig it out!"
