Under this situation, Zhang Long also picked up a burning branch to serve as a torch.
This branch is also covered with a lot of resin and can burn for a long time.
Zhang Long and Zhang Xiaotong felt that as long as they walked along the wall of the cave, they would be able to find the exit sooner or later.
Even if there is no exit, they can still go out through the entrance.
Some places have been burned to ashes.
It was dark, and there were still fires in some places, still burning Zhang Xiaotong and Zhang Long. The two of them walked slowly forward over the newly burned place, the soil under their feet was hot.
If you are not careful, you can easily burn your feet.
The two people were walking forward when Zhang Xiaotong suddenly said to Zhang Long: "Look at those bees over there putting out the fire."
Zhang Long looked up in the direction Zhang Xiaotong said. Those wasps that were almost as big as his hand were rushing towards the fire one after another.
They seemed to want to put out the fire with their own bodies.
Zhang Long doesn't know if this method is useful. As we all know, the best way to put out a fire is to cut off oxygen, because without oxygen, there is no way to burn.
As for the large, dense swarm of wasps that rushed over in a black mass, Zhang Long couldn't say whether they could cut off the air.
But seeing such a heroic scene, Zhang Xiaotong also had sincere respect for these wasps.
As we all know, creatures like bees and ants are social creatures.
It seems that they can clearly distinguish the worker ants, soldier ants, and worker bees one by one.
However, according to scholars' research, these components are equivalent to the cells in the human body, and they themselves do not have any consciousness.
Yes, it is their leader, the queen bee, the queen ant.
So in fact, these wasps commit group suicide to extinguish the fire, not out of their own consciousness, but because the queen bee is ordering them.
But no matter which one they are, all in all, these wasps are smart enough.
"First of all, I have to remind you that these things should be called wasps. Have you ever seen such a big bee?
The honey they collect is probably enough for you to drink for a week."
Zhang Long and Zhang Xiaotong stood at the place where the wasps were putting out the fire, watching from a relatively distance.
Zhang Long also needs to see the results before he can decide whether to move on from here.
If the fire is not extinguished, it is very simple, just follow them alive. If the fire is extinguished, even if there are only one or two wasps left, they will still be a threat to Zhang Long and Zhang Xiaotong.
They don't have any weapons on them now.
So they could only take a detour.
However, according to the observations of Zhang Xiaotong and Zhang Long, the wasps that rushed in and out of the darkness were still very effective in putting out the fire. They also quickly put out a lot of the fires near them.
The ground was also covered with black dead wasp carcasses.
But the fires were always more intense and the wasp swarms less dense.
"It seems that Ma Feng can no longer withstand it, but they seem to be able to kill them for a while longer. There is no need for us to stand here and wait for them. Let's take a detour and go somewhere else."
Just when Zhang Long and Zhang Xiaotong were about to go somewhere else, not wanting to waste time, a wasp that was larger than the other wasps suddenly flew out of the forest.
Zhang Long was also surprised when he saw this situation.
Generally speaking, there are four types of worker bees, guard bees, drone bees, and a queen bee or queen bee in a wind colony.
Usually the queen bee is only responsible for laying eggs. Although her body is larger than ordinary worker bees and guard bees, her wings are very small and she cannot fly at all.
Everything we eat every day must be fed by worker bees.
The excrement must also be removed by the guard bees.
It is simply a reproductive machine, as if the whole body is paralyzed at home.
I only know about eating, diarrhea and ovulation.
So Zhang Long saw such a big one flying out.
Still quite surprised.
But then he thought about it, it might be a drone, or even one that was bigger than an ordinary wasp, with a genetic mutation or something.
Just when Zhang Long was thinking about it, suddenly the large wasp's abdomen slowly expanded, then expanded like a balloon and then burst.
Suddenly countless wasps flew out.
Those wasps swelled in the wind. They were originally very small, but before they could fly very far, they already grew to be as big as a palm.
"I'm going to go...is this magic?"
Zhang Long was so surprised after seeing it that he couldn't even put his tongue back.
When people give birth, they have to release eggs and then incubate them.
Fortunately, it was born directly, skipping a step completely.
Moreover, the wasps that are born do not feed the growing young wasps. They do not need to eat anything to grow to that size.
This is too awesome.
According to its reproduction speed, it wouldn't take much effort to fill the entire space with their people.
Then Zhang Long and Zhang Xiaotong looked at the wasps that had just been born, and swarmed towards the fire.
Although the fire was quite fierce, it could not withstand the impact of these nests.
The fire near the hornet's nest was actually put out by them.
"Amazing."
Zhang Xiaotong and Zhang Long were also dumbfounded, as if they were watching a very thrilling battle over and over again.
After extinguishing the nearby fire, there were still some wasps flying in the air, but it didn't take long for them to fall down and all of them died.
At this time, Zhang Long also had a hint of realization.
It is estimated that the lifespan of the wasps born this way will not be too long. This is the special ability of the queen bee for emergency use.
"Now you can't go this way anymore, so let's take a detour."
Zhang Xiaotong also had great respect for the wasps who came one after another, and couldn't help but clasped his hands and prayed there.
"Those are all wasps. They don't understand anything you pray to them."
"It just feels so great inexplicably."
At this time, the queen bee, who had not yet returned to the nest, suddenly seemed to glance towards Zhang Long and the others.
It stands to reason that if you are stared at by an insect, you will not feel anything at all. Insect eyes are compound eyes. Even if most people look at an insect, they will not know where the insect is looking.
But Zhang Long felt as if he was being targeted by the queen bee, and then a swarm of wasps flew towards Zhang Long and Zhang Xiaotong like a whirlwind.
Although the intensity was sparse compared to the previous fire extinguishing, it was not something Zhang Long and Zhang Xiaotong could bear.
