When Liu Juan was studying plants in junior high school, he learned that these winged ants are actually "wedding flies", just like people travel to get married. They fly around to find a mate. "Ants are neutral insects and are harmful to plants and the human body. There is no harm to them. If you don’t provoke them, under normal circumstances, they will not hurt people. Even if they are occasionally bitten by ants, they will not cause accidents.” But army ants can eat people, but they will eat everything. This is mainly his hunting instinct.
Ants, also known as horse ants or horse ants in ancient times, are insects with social living habits. They belong to the order Hymenoptera and are close relatives of wasps. They first appeared in the mid-Cretaceous period 130 million to 110 million years ago, possibly It evolved from primitive wasps that appeared in the Jurassic. The main difference is that the antennae of ants are obviously bent like knees, and the abdomen has one or two nodules. The abdomen of wasps is a whole. Ants generally have no wings, only Male ants and sterile female ants have wings when they have sex, and the female ants fall off their wings after sex. When flowering plants gradually flourish, the types of ants begin to diversify.
It is a common type of insect that is easy to identify. It is generally small (0.5mm-3cm) in color, including black, yellow, red, white, etc. The body wall is elastic, smooth or hairy. It has chewing mouthparts and a well-developed upper jaw. .The antennae are knee-shaped, with 4 to 13 segments. The handle segment is very long, and the 2 to 3 segments at the end are enlarged. The 1st or 1st and 2nd segments of the abdomen are knot-shaped. Winged or wingless. The spurs of the forefoot are large and comb-shaped. Antennae cleaners (for cleaning antennae) are polymorphic social insects. It is estimated that only about half of all ant species - currently about 11,700 species - have been described. A larger study of the ant fauna is also awaited Carry out. Common ones include small house ants, etc. Ants are typical social insects and have the three major elements of social insects, that is, individuals of the same species can cooperate with each other to take care of their larvae; they have a clear division of labor; and they live in the ant colony for at least two generations. Overlap, and the offspring can take care of the previous generation for a period of time.
Ants currently have 21 subfamilies and 283 genera (the mainstream classification system of 16 subfamilies is compared with the system of 21 subfamilies, and the new system divides several subfamilies from the subfamilies). Generally, they are small in size and color. They are black, brown, yellow, red, etc. The body wall is elastic, smooth or hairy. The mouthparts are chewing, with a well-developed upper jaw. The antennae are knee-shaped, with 4 to 13 sections, the stalk section is very long, and the last 2 to 3 sections are enlarged. The abdomen The 1st or 1st and 2nd segments are knot-shaped. They are divided into winged or wingless. The front legs are widely spaced and comb-shaped, which are used to clean the antennae. The external shape of the ant is divided into three parts: head, thorax and abdomen. Six legs. The ant eggs are about 0.5 mm long, irregular oval, milky white, and the larvae are worm-like and translucent. The worker ants are small in size, with a body length of about 2.8 mm, and are brown all over. Individual ants can only be found if you look closely. Male, The bodies of female ants are relatively thick. The abdomen is fat, the head and chest are brown, the front half of the abdomen is brown, and the back half is tan. The body length of male ants is about 5.5 mm. The body length of female ants is about 6.2 mm. Common ants in indoor environments include Little yellow house ants, etc.
Liu Juan was secretly amazed when he saw it. The creatures in nature are indeed extraordinary in their own way. These wild leopards looked far less terrifying than the golden-winged ants, but they won the final victory through this weird method.
However, only creatures like wild leopards can do this.
If it were a human being, it would be difficult to swallow the golden-winged ants directly despite knowing that the corpses of golden-winged ants can release the ant poison.
As the number of golden-winged ant colonies decreases, the wild leopards attack and bite more and more happily. And when the number of golden-winged ant colonies decreases to a certain level, there are faint signs of collapse.
"throat……"
At this moment, the strange sound sounded again, and the golden-winged ants became excited again. The remaining life-threatening golden-winged ants no longer fled, but mustered up the courage to fight for their lives below.
rushed over.
Liu Juan's eyebrows raised slightly, he rolled his eyes, and immediately sneaked towards the direction where the strange whistling sound came from.
This time he sneaked more carefully and used his body skills to the extreme. His whole body seemed to turn into a black smoke, floating into the distance as lightly as nothing.
After making a huge circle, he faintly saw two black figures standing on a high slope from the corner of his eyes.
Liu Juan leaned down more and more, and he approached quietly.
If someone could watch from the sky at this time, they would find that Liu Juan's every step was exactly on the hardest ground around him.
And precisely because of this, he settled silently, and was not even noticed by them as he gradually approached the two people.
"Red fox, all the golden-winged ants you raised have been killed or injured." Suddenly, a hearty laugh rang out, and he said in a semi-sarcastic tone: "You asked me to come here just to watch their demise.
?”
Liu Juan looked closely and saw that the two people on the high slope were dressed in different clothes, one was red and the other was gold.
The person speaking at this time was a young man wearing gold clothes.
His eyes flashed across these two people, and there was a strange look in Liu Juan's eyes.
He was no stranger to either of these people.
The young man in golden clothes turned out to be Hu Zhen from the Zhan Hu Hall. Judging from his aura, he already looked like a sixth-grade holy demon.
However, the man in red standing next to Hu Zhen at this time exuded a huge aura that was not inferior to his at all.
The moment he saw the man in red, Liu Juan recognized him immediately.
He is the man who appeared in Fire Cloud Cave.
At this time, his face was still covered, and he could not see any expression of joy, anger, sorrow or joy. However, there was a strange and sinister aura about him. Even next to such an arrogant person as Hu Zhen, his
His back is always straight, and the dark and cold light that flashes in his eyes from time to time is even more frightening.
"Hmph, Brother Tiger, the golden-winged ants I raised have fought against the leopards here several times. Do you think I can't tell?"
The man in red spoke coldly, his voice as cold as the breath on his body.
"Oh, so you did it on purpose?"
"Hehe." The man in red sneered: "Brother Tiger, why are you here this time."
Hu Zhen frowned slightly, looking a little dissatisfied, but he still suppressed the impatience in his heart and said solemnly: "I am here for that chaotic beast."
"Yes, but Brother Tiger knows the habits of this chaotic beast and how to hunt it." The man in red asked disdainfully.
As if feeling the contempt in the other party's words, Hu Zhen snorted angrily and said: "I don't know, but as long as we kill all the leopards, we will naturally be able to kill the chaos beasts protected by the leopards."
The man in red laughed and said: "Brother Tiger, you want the fangs of that Chaos Beast to be used as a new god-level weapon, but I also want to use the Chaos Beast Skin to make special armor. If you follow your plan,
Method, even if the Chaos Beast is killed, we may not be able to get any benefits."
Hu Zhen was stunned for a moment and hummed: "Then in your opinion, what do you think?"
The man in red said slowly: "Just watch from the sidelines. If you need to take action, I will call you. But before that, please be patient."
Hu Zhen's face changed slightly, but he was afraid of the other party's identity and strength, and for the common goal of both parties, he still held back the tone.
"Okay, in that case, I'll see what you do, Brother Fox."
The man in red sneered and took out a flute, placing it calmly to his mouth.
Then, a strange sound sounded from it, and the sound instantly spread throughout the valley below.
"Buzz buzz..."
The sound of flying golden-winged beasts sounded again in the distant sky. In just a moment, a large number of golden-winged beasts formed a dark dragnet and swarmed over.
Liu Juan looked up at the sky, his expression slightly changed.
He originally thought that the leopard group had won the final victory, but he did not expect that the number of the golden-winged beasts was so large. After one group died, a large number appeared again.
The man in red said coldly: "I have fought with leopards several times and have figured out their tricks.
Under the command of the Leopard King, the roar of the group of leopards can only be released once. Also, after the group of leopards swallowed the body of my golden-winged beast, although it has a miraculous effect of resisting poison, when the drug effect wears off, it will be easy to
Get some sleep. Hehe, I have waited too long for today. Today... I will completely exterminate the leopards."
There was a hint of sinisterness in his voice, which made people shudder.
"Hey..."
As this strange and ferocious sound sounded, countless golden-winged ants rushed into the leopard group and massacred them.
The legs and feet of the leopards and wolves below were all weak, and they had been knocked to pieces in just a moment. No matter how violent the leopard king's howls were, they were still unable to form an effective organization to resist.
Liu Juan's heart sank when he saw it.
Although the Leopard King is smart, he is just a beast after all and cannot be compared with the human mind in any way.
The strong man in red carefully raised two groups of golden-winged ants. When he attacked for the first time, he only released one of them. Although the ant group was large in number, it was still no match for the leopard group.
However, when this group of ants died, they had successfully lured out the biggest killer in the leopard group. Moreover, they used their own bodies as a lure, causing the entire leopard group to fall into a coma.
In a drowsy state.
As a result, the momentum of the leopard group was released. Facing the overwhelming swarm of ants that attacked again, the leopard group finally had no resistance.
After only resisting for a moment, in addition to the wild leopards that fell to the ground, some wild leopards finally started to escape with their tails between their legs.
With the first, there will be the second. As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. This does not only apply to wars between humans, but also applies to all creatures in nature.
The leopard group quickly collapsed and fled in all directions.
"proud……"
The shrill cry of the Leopard King resounded across the sky, but it was impossible to restore the defeat at this moment.
Liu Juan looked intently into the distance. In the middle of the valley, a giant black leopard the size of a small mountain raised its head and howled. Surrounding it, there were more than a dozen slightly smaller giant leopards guarding it.
They did not flee around like ordinary wild leopards, but opened their huge mouths and howled continuously towards the sky.
