Chapter 204 : The perverted prehistoric giant fly!
If the giant tick has the attribute of "assassin" and attacks the target silently, then the giant bull gangster in the Fuhe Rainforest is a terrifying "bandit"!
The gadfly, commonly known as "blind fly" or "blind fly", is the most powerful blood-sucking fly on the earth. Especially the gadfly in prehistoric times is known as the "industrial blood-sucking pump".
This creature has a stout body and strong flying power. It looks like an extra-large fly or bee, and is generally 6-30 mm in length.
Like other blood-sucking insects, such as mosquitoes, only female flies suck blood.
The female fly's mouthparts are very well developed, and its upper and lower jaws and mouth needle are extremely sharp. Whenever it sucks blood, the giant fly will first use these three sharp tools to scratch the skin of the animal to let the blood seep out, which is the tough cowhide and wild boar skin.
There is no way to escape. After the blood flows out, the pseudo-trachea on the lips will suck the blood into the body. The blood-sucking efficiency is comparable to that of a water pump. Therefore, it is also known as the "industrial blood-sucking pump" in Titan Continent, a very terrifying blood-sucking method.
insect.
Horseflies are very voracious insects. When a group of horseflies bite livestock, they often make the cattle and horses covered in blood and run away in embarrassment.
Because the bite wound will form huge swellings under the stimulation of the saliva of the horsefly, causing unbearable pain to the bitten creature, it is extremely harmful to domestic animals.
In some rural areas, gadflies as huge as bees often bite cattle until they cry all night long. In order to alleviate the pain of cattle, experienced farmers will light fireworks to drive away the bugs, although the thick smoke will affect the sleep of cattle.
and healthy, but compared to being bitten by gadflies all night long, this method is still very useful.
The life habit of gadflies is to be active during the day and rest at night, with peak activity at noon. They are good at flying and fly very fast. They sometimes suck nectar like bees, but their favorite thing is the blood of animals.
The female gadfly has extremely strong stinging ability and can easily pierce hard animal skin with its sharp mouthparts.
Among many creatures, large domestic animals such as cattle, horses, donkeys, and mules are the first targets of gadfly attacks, because most of these animals are kept in captivity by humans at home. Even if they are bitten by mosquitoes and tied with ropes, they cannot easily escape.
The efficiency of the female fly's blood-sucking is astonishing, and her belly can be filled with blood in just a few minutes.
After being bitten by a smaller gadfly, the blood-sucking animal can lose 40 milligrams of blood at one time! And larger flies, such as some blood-sucking flies of the genus Oncodon, can cause the animal to lose 200 milligrams of blood at one time.
.
There is a record from somewhere in Inner Mongolia: The livestock of a herdsman family were surprisingly sucked out 2000 ml of blood by gadflies in one summer, and they were almost turned into mummies.
Not only that, some horse flies can also spread anthrax to livestock such as cattle and sheep. Trypanosomiasis in camels in northwest China and cattle and horses in the south is caused by protozoa transmitted by horse flies.
"Flies" are found all over the world, with more than 4,000 species, but not all of them are like the flies on Titan. The bullflies here seem to have received growth hormones and are the same size as humans. All the bullflies who have not sucked blood are here.
It weighs a hundred kilograms, and it is even more terrifying when it is full of blood. The fat one weighs three to four hundred kilograms.
Although there are not many of these prehistoric giant flies weighing hundreds of kilograms, they are extremely dangerous and terrifying.
Their flight speed is as fast as lightning, so fast that even the most agile cheetah in the forest has trouble controlling it.
Their blood-sucking mouthparts are extremely sharp, so sharp that they can pierce pangolin skin that even bullets cannot penetrate.
Their blood-sucking speed crushes the giant prehistoric mosquitoes and can cause the target to lose 2000 ml of blood in one minute.
Their fear pervades the entire Fuhe Rainforest, and even if the Tyrannosaurus Rex sees them, it can only scream and run for its life in panic.
They are the most dangerous vampire hunters in the forest, a group of ghosts who dare to squeeze blood from Godzilla!
It was unlucky to say the least. Not long after leaving the stagnant water area, Lin Shuhang and the Crazy General were attacked by this deadly prehistoric killer.
More than a dozen prehistoric giant flies surrounded Lin Shuhang and the crazy general like ghosts, biting this one and biting that bomber, pestering them endlessly.
The way gadflies suck blood is different from how mosquitoes suck blood.
Mosquitoes suck blood secretly and do not dare to let the target notice.
In order to avoid arousing the target's alertness, mosquitoes have experienced difficult evolution and evolved blood-sucking mouthparts with an "anesthetic" effect. When this mouthpart sucks blood, the target's skin is always anesthetized and cannot feel any pain.
, by the time the target realizes something is wrong, the mosquito has already sucked enough blood, so the mosquito is "thief sucking!"
Gadflies are different, they are more like a group of fierce bandits and robbers. They can be said to be blatant when sucking blood, without any concern whether the target will find them.
Gadflies don't have the patience of mosquitoes. They don't consider the other person's feelings when sucking blood, so they don't anesthetize the target in advance. Instead, they pounce directly on the target and bite open the target's skin with their mouthparts.
Yes, you heard it right, it’s a bite, not a sting.
Their mouthparts are so sharp that they can bite a buffalo's skin in one bite, and this is one of the scariest things about gadflies!
After biting the target's skin, the gadfly will insert its tubular mouthparts into the target's blood vessels within a few tenths of a second, and then suck out the blood from the target's body.
All this is done without the help of anesthetics. You can imagine how much pain this barbaric blood-sucking method will bring to the blood-sucked creature.
After encountering this creature in the forest, Lin Shuhang didn't pay much attention to it at first.
He thought they were just a group of genetically mutated prehistoric giant flies. In Lin Shuhang's consciousness, flies were not aggressive creatures except for spreading bacteria and diseases.
In addition, the group of prehistoric giant flies did not attack him first, so he did not increase his vigilance.
"Buzzing..."
A swarm of prehistoric giant fly bombers rushed towards the mad general.
Although creatures like gadflies do not have high IQs, they are not fools either. They can see that the blood on the crazy general's body is more than that on Lin Shuhang's body. If it were you, the one you would attack first would be the heavy tonnage and large size of the crazy general, not
Lin Shuhang has become so thin that he can even count his ribs.
When he was bitten by a gadfly, the scene was so tragic that before the mad general even understood what was going on, he was surrounded by a large group of giant gadflies. One bite and another bite, and the mad general held his head and howled wildly.
At first, Lin Shuhang was still laughing at the crazy general, saying that a majestic Titan bear could be frightened by a swarm of flies and squeal? But as time went on, Lin Shuhang gradually realized something.
He was horrified to see that with the bites of those gadflies, blood oozed out from the thick-skinned mad general!
You must know that bear skin is a very hard thing, and being bitten by a group of flies was covered with bruises, which is enough to show how scary these creatures are.
Looking at the howling mad general, I was so horrified for a moment!
