Mysterious Island, somewhere in a tree hole in the woods.

Xu Yue, who was sitting in the center of the tree hole, slowly opened his eyes, and the soft light released by the master control ball at the dome immediately came into view.

Not long after its transformation, the porcupine was lying on its stomach on the left side of the tree hole, and the black and white spikes on its body were growing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and now the number of spikes on its back was quite impressive.

On the opposite side of the porcupine, Ah Fu is cooking bird eggs on a stone slab, the rich aroma of fried eggs gradually rising in the space, and he is now watching the image presented on the mirror surface, while throwing some kind of dark red suspicious spice on the fried egg.

Just by looking at it, Xu Yue could be sure that it was definitely not any of the spices contained in the 'Field Seasoning Jar' he was carrying.

During the cooking, Xu Shi noticed the sight not far away, Ah Fu made a movement in his hand, he turned his head to look in the direction of Xu Yue, and said respectfully:

"Master, has the snapping turtle spirit body been solved?"

Xu Yue nodded, then got up and stepped forward.

"What about the lake, are there any signs of civilized life?"

When it came to business, Ah Fu's expression immediately became serious, he raised his hand and pressed a small button on the frame of his glasses, and suddenly a light screen was projected from the frame, forming a clear picture on the inner wall of the flat tree hole.

"There have been, and they are still two civilizations, but neither of them is human."

"Isn't it human expectation, but if there are two at the same time? Is it an enemy party? ”

As he spoke, Xu Yue looked intently at the projection screen on his side, only to see a tragic battlefield picture floating in front of him.

It's still the same lake I saw yesterday, but now the lake is now covered by dense ant colonies, and the main body of the ant colony is mainly black, mixed with some fiery red or yellowish brown scattered areas.

The number of ant colonies is like a ring of black tide, completely enveloping the entire pale red lake, and it is impossible to estimate its exact number.

And not only on the shore of the lake, but also on the surface of the lake there are a large number of ants, although the size of these ants is not the same, but the shortest of them is not much different from Xu Yue.

They clump together on the surface of the lake, tiled into irregular floating platforms, and are now constantly salvaging and carrying the various corpses in the lake.

Thanks to their unremitting efforts, the large number of aquatic corpses that were all over the lake last night are now only a few fragments, but the number of dead ant remains is even more significant.

Of course, since this is a battlefield, there will definitely not be only one side of the force, and the sky above the ant colony is where the protagonist of the other side of the battlefield is located.

Above the black tide, a yellow curtain was overwhelmingly covering the ant colony, covering the entire lake, including the plains of the outer lakeshore.

At this time, the red sun is rising, the sky is bright, but the light is sprinkled, after passing through the curtain, only sporadic spots of light fall on the surface, which also causes the whole battlefield to appear particularly dim.

As the picture gradually zoomed in, Xu Yue also saw the actual appearance of the yellow curtain, which was a raging wave of countless bee colonies, among which the individual was mainly carnivorous wasps, mixed with a small number of bees, but despite the different species, they were all extremely large.

Although there was no sound on the screen, just from the size of the bee colony, Xu Yue could roughly imagine how amazing the sound of membranous wings on the battlefield would be.

Ant colonies and bee colonies are fighting each other for ownership of the lake, but they rely not only on their tail spikes and mouthparts and palates, but also on a variety of improvised weapons.

These two insect groups are very different from the other creatures on the mysterious island, and the most notable difference is that they use tools.

As far as the eye can see, between the yellow bee colony and the black ant colony, countless thick spears and large falling rocks are flying up and down.

The swarm occupies the advantage of the airspace, they pick up a large piece of rock and fly to the top of the ant colony and release it together, and the falling rocks fall like a rain curtain in an instant, and a large number of ants have no way to avoid it on the plain, so they are knocked down by the falling rocks that fall from the sky, the light ones are broken bones and tendons, the limbs are separated, and the heads are broken, the flesh and blood are muddy, and the casualties are extremely heavy for a while.

And the ant colony is naturally not without means to fight back, because the sky above the mysterious island is where the bird territory is located, so the flight altitude of the bee colony is controlled to no more than the forest slightly, and this also gives the ants a chance to fight back.

They carry a bundle of rough wooden or stone spears, under the strong power of the ants, the spears are thrown by them with their flexible forefeet, thousands of spears break through the air and rise, after crushing the falling rocks blocking the way, they fly into the sky of the bee colony above, and suddenly a large number of wasps are shot down by the spears, once they fall to the ground, even if these wasps are not killed, they are also completely torn apart by the surging ant colony.

The whole battlefield became particularly tragic in the battle between the two major groups, and the lake was covered with a large number of ants and wasp corpses after a while, during which ants were constantly smashed by boulders, and bees were constantly shot down by spears, just in the more than ten minutes that Xu Yue watched the battle, the number of dead and wounded insects on both sides was at least tens of thousands.

"When did the two sides appear around the lake?"

Hearing Xu Yue's inquiry, Ah Fu recalled the picture he observed through his glasses and replied:

"We were not long away from the lake, and in the middle of the night, wild beasts began to roam the edge of the lake, and then, realizing that there was no danger, more and more alien creatures gathered together, and they fished the corpses and drank the water in the lake without disturbing each other."

"At three o'clock in the morning, the ant colony appeared, and they poured out from all directions of the dense forest, enveloping the entire lake area and began to advance layer by layer, killing all the creatures in the encirclement in the process of advancing, and then began to carry the remains on the surface of the lake."

"An hour later, the small wave bee colony appeared over the lake, but did not attack, just monitored the colony's every move, and the ant colony tried to expel it, but to no avail."

"At five o'clock in the morning, the bee colony completed the assembly at an astonishing speed, far outnumbering the ant colony, completely covering the entire ant colony, and the two sides began a small-scale confrontation."

"Until half an hour ago, the fighting entered a white heat, and it continued until now, and ......... in between"

Inside the tree hole, Xu Yue quietly listened to Ah Fu's information, while his gaze kept wandering on the projected image, especially on the equally anthropomorphic forefeet of the two insects.

And finally fell on a large black ant with dorsal membranous wings and an erect height of two meters six or seven in the colony.

Although the lower half of the opponent's body is still oval-shaped, the upper body is upright, showing some significant anthropomorphic features, especially the two forefeet, which have directly evolved carapace palms that are easy to hold items.

At this time, the black ant is constantly swimming among the ant colony, the two antennae above its head trembling rapidly, and from time to time it will look up at the swarm in the sky, as if commanding the battle.

"Ants and bees? Unsurprisingly, insect groups are the most likely to evolve into civilized beings. ”
