Chapter 181 Earthworm Ant
Lin Guiyao listened intently, and indeed heard a faint rustling sound, and the sound came from the nearby ditch.

The voice was very small, if Shi Hu hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.Just as they were about to issue a hidden order, the source of the voice had already appeared in front of their eyes.

It was a group of large earthworms entangled with each other, there were hundreds of them.Thick as a child's arm, as long as a bamboo pole, the surface of the brown body is viscous body fluid, and there is a red ring around the head, which is very bright and eye-catching.

I saw them stretching their fronts and crawling on the bottom of the wet ditch, their speed was not weaker than a human's trot.

"No! They didn't make the sound!" Zhao Ziyue reminded, moving her ears.

However, before she finished speaking, everyone saw a group of gray strange ants the size of a pig emerging from behind the earthworm. There were about 50 or so of them.

Their pair of tentacles kept beating together, making a rustling sound as they rubbed against each other. The head was like an enlarged muscular chestnut, which actually took up two-thirds of the entire body!
The most frightening thing is their pair of pitch-black front jaws, which are constantly clamped together, which is not easy to mess with at first glance.There are some red hairs growing sparsely on the top of the head, and the bottoms of the six slender legs are as sharp as steel claws. The strangest thing is that their belly looks like a black pearl, exuding a seductive light.

Soon, they caught up with the earthworm, two by two, one pincer head, one pincer tail, with a click, they clamped the earthworm into three pieces with their sharp upper jaws, and then continued to attack another earthworm.

The segmented earthworm curled up, its head and tail expanded into a big trumpet, and the sharp teeth rotating inside were clearly visible, but unfortunately lost the strength of its body, it could only open and close in vain.

There are also some earthworms that were not taken care of by the ants, but they continued to run forward regardless of the death of their companions.

"Beasts are just beasts, they don't even care about their companions." Xu Shilang said disdainfully.

Earthworms moved slowly, and the number of ants was small. He felt that these two strange creatures should not pose any threat to them who were fully armed, but soon, his expression changed.

Ants are creatures that divide labor ants and soldier ants.Those 50 or so in the lead should be soldier ants, responsible for offense and defense.The work of collecting food is done by worker ants.

After a while, a group of gray ants, half the size of the black bead soldier ant, came up. They ignored the head and tail of the earthworm, picked up the body of the earthworm that was still curled up, and moved back.

And their number is several hundred!
Lin Guiyao's face was ashen. With such a number and their speed, if they fought, they would definitely not get any benefit, so they had to evacuate quietly.

It's a pity that a gust of wind blew by at this time, and everyone's faces immediately turned pale.

They were standing at the upper air outlet, and the smell had already passed, only to see the antennae of those ants suddenly stood up, and then collectively swirled in their direction.

"run!"

Lin Guiyao snatched Xu Shilang's machine gun, threw it into his backpack and ran. At this time, he had to pack lightly, how fast he could run, and turn around to fight?

Hit a dick!

The hundreds of worker ants actually gave up on the earthworms in their mouths and turned to chase them. Behind them, new ants were still popping up in an endless stream, and there was no time to count how many there were.

"Run to the archway! The ground there is solid!"

Lin Guiyao reminded that among the crowd, Shi Hu, Chen Elong, and Zhao Ziyue had eaten wild truffles, so they didn't have to worry about stamina, they were the fastest.Xiao Hong and Xu Shilang also experienced many battles, and followed closely,

But in the past, apart from the ability of flames, this new human, who was actually an ordinary person, naturally fell behind.

"I can't run, let me fight them!" Xi Nian looked determined, but Lin Guiyao grabbed him and carried him sideways on his shoulders.

"Silly hat, didn't you see the glands under their upper jaws? The fire you spray is not as far as other people's acid!" Lin Guiyao said angrily.

Lin Guiyao has been interested in ants as a creature since he was a child. This kind of small creature that can divide labor and cooperate in groups and has infinite strength, I don’t know how many of them died under his magnifying glass.

Until one day, he was infested by a group of strange ants, and he almost couldn't keep his eyes. After he was discharged from the hospital, he was taught "care" by his father. What's worse, he became a laughing stock in school. , had to work hard to become a top student, and got away from the group of ignorant classmates who laughed at him.

Therefore, these ants that he remembered deeply were naturally spent a thousand times, and he even found several documentaries about ants to watch.

Although it is a wasteland, the size and characteristics of these ants will be different, but the basic characteristics should not change much.

Such as chemical defense, that is, spray formic acid.

I saw the hundreds of worker ants that were following closely grasping the ground with six legs, and when they raised their heads, a transparent liquid was sprayed out from their jaws, interweaving into a dense network in the air, shooting out a full 50 How far away!
The acid started to emit white smoke in the air, and when it hit the ground, it even burned a white mist on the ground, and a strong sour and burnt smell filled the air immediately.

Fortunately, Lin Guiyao gave him a hand, otherwise he would probably have been caught completely by now.

"Damn, these monsters! They're so sore, they're still eating meat!" Xu Shilang glanced back, and his pace was so frightened that he quickened his pace by three points.

Lin Guiyao shook his head with a wry smile. This formic acid was originally used as a chemical weapon against opponents who were bigger than them, but now it is just a normal operation.

If he guessed right, the worker ants can spray acid, then the soldier ants should hide the venom on their fangs, and decide whether to inject it or not when they bite their prey.

"Run! If you slow down, you will be caught up. I don't want to be melted or turned into a corpse. It's too ugly to die like that!"

Xiao Hong tapped her feet, pursed her lips, and vaguely supported her violently shaking upper body with both hands. For the first time, she felt that this murder weapon had brought her trouble.

Puff puff puff!Whoosh!
Compared with them, the speed of the ants is not slow at all, and the speed is even faster after spraying the acid solution, and the worker ants catching up behind are also spraying towards them from time to time, and the distance between the two is constantly getting closer. Soon there were only more than 60 meters left.

Those seemingly mysterious torii did not suddenly burst out any strange light like in some novels to dissuade these ants, but they still stood there, watching the chase scene.

"We can't run like this, we have to make some trouble for them!"

Xiao Hong said angrily, she already felt a little pain in her chest, and if she threw it like this, it would easily sag!Frightened and angry, he took out a handful of white beans from it.
