"Doctor Xu, what should we do? If the ant colony is here, will it attack us directly?"
The third child was a little panicked, "I don't want to be chewed into a skeleton!"
"Third brother, look at how cowardly you are!" Ergou said scornfully: "Aren't they just ants? We are all warriors, how can we not deal with these little things?"
The third child said angrily: "Please stop eating first and free up your brain to think about it seriously. Can we deal with it?"
Ergou stopped chewing the ham, thought for a moment with his mouth open, and exclaimed: "I don't seem to believe it. They are too small and there are too many. They can't bite through my copper skin and iron bones. They can definitely bite through you."
!”
"..." The third child suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore, and turned to look at Xu Yan and Niu Jingang expectantly.
But Xu Yan and the two men, who were running quickly to search around, soon discovered a cliff. The cliff was covered with plants, and the roots were thick and densely intertwined!
Having new things is always a good thing, and there is a high probability that these vine-like plants are the food of the ant colony!
When they got closer, they discovered that all these vines were growing out of the river. The river had reached its end, and it turned out to be flowing out from under the cliff.
And the vines spreading out of the river covered the cliffs, as if giant pythons were entangled and entangled, showing their ferociousness!
There were no ant holes in the location where Xu Yan and others were, but they saw that swarms of gray-backed ants had appeared not far away and were attacking the vines on the cliff!
They use their sharp jaws to bite the thick vines, tearing them into sections and strands, feasting on them, then chewing them, and return in groups.
"These vines are indeed their food!" Everyone's eyes lit up and they watched with bated breath, for fear of disturbing the ant colony.
After the ant colony tore through a vine, the mountain wind blew away the mist, but instead stirred up the vines all over the rock wall.
Under the leaves of the vines, strange flower-like mouthparts began to poke out, with a circle of slender hairs growing on them. They danced and extended in the wind, like a big bloody mouth, slowly reaching down to approach the ant colony!
This scene was a bit scary but also a bit spectacular. Xu Yan and others held their breaths in surprise.
Immediately, those flower-shaped mouthparts suddenly accelerated as they approached the ant colony, and then sprayed out a large amount of mucus!
The ants were caught off guard and were directly trapped by the mucus. Then the fluff continued to extend, wrapping around each ant and sending them back to the flower regardless of their size!
After the flower was filled, it suddenly closed, and then closed quickly, no matter how hard the ants struggled, it was useless.
Then, under the stunned gaze of everyone, a green line lit up underneath the flower, and black spots followed the green line, quickly sliding towards the roots of the vines, and finally fell into the water.
Not long after, some broken gray-backed ant bodies appeared on the surface of the water, followed closely by the piranha, biting wildly, easily crushing the ants' stiff bodies and devouring them all!
Xu Yan and others looked stunned and speechless.
It turns out that this is another food chain and a small ecological world.
Probably the excrement of the fish is the nourishment for these vines, and after these vines grow up and extend, they become the food of the ant colony.
At the same time, the flowers attached to the vines can prey on a group of fish, absorb part of it, and then excrete the indigestible parts into the water, thus becoming a food source for fish schools.
"It's so magical!" The third child took a breath and came back to his senses, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, we have been to similar places before, why haven't we seen anything like this before?"
Niu Jingang pondered: "It should be that the earth's energy is not enough. Where we went before, there were too few mutated plants and animals, not enough to support a food chain."
"The earth energy in these 100,000 mountains is abundant and active. Regardless of whether it is a treasure land or an evil land, there are too many kinds of special living creatures."
As he spoke, Niu Jingang looked at Xu Yan and asked for his opinion.
"That should be the case." Xu Yan nodded in agreement, "But that's not important. The point is that the ant colony seems to be pissed off..."
Everyone was stunned and turned around to see that as more and more flowers spit out mucus and entangled the ants, more gray-backed ants quickly began to gather and launched a frantic attack on the vines!
What's worse is that as more and more ant colonies gather under the cliff, the size of the ant colony begins to expand and it is quickly approaching the river!
"What the hell..." Fu Dongliu started to panic, "Doctor Xu, please think of a solution quickly!"
"When the ants discover it later, they will definitely vent their anger on us, right? Then..."
"But it's just like what the elder brother said, he's going to be chewed into a skeleton!" The third child was also very panicked.
Honglian looked at the vines above the river and suggested: "Those flowers are concentrated on the bank. Maybe we can use the vines to avoid the ants?"
"This is the only way!" Xu Yan found that the ant colony was gathering faster and faster, and it was only a few steps away from them.
"I'm going to explore the path!" The third child immediately tightened his belt and prepared to try to climb the vines.
Before Xu Yan could speak, he had already dashed out, jumped up lightly, grabbed the vines and quickly started climbing.
But after climbing a few times, many flowers suddenly popped up from the vines, and then silk-like tentacles wrapped around them.
The third child was shocked and turned pale. He swung the dagger in his hand and slashed at it. Unexpectedly, the tentacles were stretched directly and could not be cut off at all!
"Third brother, come back!" Seeing this, Niu Jingang shouted, and the dart in Hong Lian's hand was also shot out, hitting several flowers at the same time.
The vine twisted as if in pain, its tentacles shrank, and the third child took the opportunity to jump back.
But at this moment, many flowers popped up one after another on the vine wall, and the tentacles waved around Lao San again.
"Holy shit!" The third monster screamed, kicking the rock wall hard and trying to use the force to jump back, but unexpectedly he was pulled away from his body and flew out diagonally!
"Lao San!" Everyone exclaimed at the same time, because Lao San lost his center of gravity and fell, and the direction of the fall was a swarm of ants!
Lao San, who was in mid-air, also discovered this problem and suddenly became numb.
After he was forced to stay in the air, he continuously used his energy to twist his waist and turn around, trying to change the landing point.
But the size of the ant colony has expanded again, and it is almost everywhere!
No matter how much he moves, there is no way he will fall outside the ant colony!
Niu Jingang and others immediately became anxious and shouted as they were about to rush out, but Xu Yan held them down and swayed like a gust of wind as he rushed out quickly!
This is the first time that Niu Jingang and others can truly see how weird and amazing Xu Yan's movements are!
He looked like he was constantly flashing and jumping, changing positions many times in the blink of an eye, and had already rushed to the edge of the ant colony!
Immediately, Xu Yan bowed and exerted force suddenly, and his figure jumped up and down again.
Bang! The third child fell into the ant colony, crushing some gray-backed ants and startling other ants, but then, the angry ant colony gathered at the same time and started to rush towards him!
The third child's face turned green. He really thought that he would be dead in the next moment and turn into a skeleton.
But at this moment, Xu Yan arrived, grabbed him, and then suddenly used his energy to shake away the ants around him, and then rushed back quickly!
The third child was saved, but this movement completely angered the ant colony.
Like an endless army, they divided into two groups. One part climbed along the vines and tried to attack the flowers, while the other part pursued Xu Yan directly!
Xu Yan bared his teeth secretly, thinking that these gray-backed ants are too irritable!
During previous experiments, we found that they would vent their anger when they couldn't get food, and this was even more true now.
"Let's go!" Xu Yan threw the third child towards the crowd and shouted.
Niu Jingang looked back, but his face turned green, "There are also ants coming from behind, where are you going?"
Xu Yan turned around and saw that his scalp was numb. He was so embarrassed. There were ant colonies all around him, and they were already all over the river!
At this moment, the ant colony doesn't care about food at all, it only cares about venting its anger.
It was the flowers that offended them, so they climbed crazily to bite the flowers. Lao San and Xu Yan obviously offended them as well, and you can imagine what happened next.
There is no cover at all. If you jump into the river, you will be surrounded by piranhas. What should you do? There seems to be no way out.
In an instant, even Xu Yan became anxious. Facing the real swarm of ants, his scalp was numb!
