The Jade District wilderness area is a place where people look like a wilderness coming towards them, as if it is a wilderness that has not been reclaimed. That wilderness makes people feel very uneasy.

This place is still the edge of the wilderness zone, but even in such a marginal zone, the landform characteristics here are completely different from those in other parts of the jade area.

In the Jade District, there are deep forests, valleys, rivers, and beautiful natural scenery everywhere. However, on the edge of this wilderness, there is only a large forest, and the trees in these forests look strange.

In other places in the Jade District, whether it is forests, rivers, mountains, etc., these places look very fresh from a distance, and the whole person's heart seems to have been cleaned. However, here, the edges of the wilderness give people a completely different feeling.

The feeling here is very depressing. Although the trees here grow more lush than in the jade area, more than a dozen people can be seen everywhere. The trees nearly 100 meters high are also full of shrubs in the gaps between these trees, but such a vibrant look does not give people the feeling that they are so beautiful.

Logically speaking, such a natural picture will definitely give people the feeling of nature coming towards us. However, if you are really here, you will find that the feeling here is not like this at all. Here, you will always feel terrified.

In the wilderness, don’t feel the breath of nature coming towards you. You may not be able to walk a few steps inside, because the weeds in the bushes will make you unable to move forward.

These weeds are not like weeds in other parts of the jade area. The edges of the weed leaves look very thin and seem extremely sharp. However, you can rest assured that even if you rub the leaves of these weeds, you will not be cut.

However, here, the weed leaves on the edge of the wilderness are different. The edges of the leaves are very sharp. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of being cut by these weeds. What is even more terrifying is that the leaves of these weeds will secrete a toxin on the edges of the leaves after cutting people or animals.

A toxin that slowly causes or animals to lose resistance and eventually dies, and the corpses of you or those animals, will become fertilizer for these weeds, providing sufficient nutrients for the growth of this weed.

Perhaps with the nutrients for you or those animal corpses as growth nutrients, these weeds will grow into a formidable grass in a few years, or decades.

Mancao is actually a general term for those grass plants with strong attack power in the wilderness. As long as they become Mancao, their strength is not ordinary. At least ordinary people, quasi-warriors, and warriors from the first level of acquired level, will undoubtedly die 100%. Whether the two types of people behind can escape their lives depends on their luck.

In short, any creature in the wilderness, even a small weed, is very dangerous. Once you enter the wilderness, you have to be extremely careful.

It is precisely because everything in the wilderness has a certain danger that this place is become a wilderness.

The wilderness, just from the literal meaning: wilderness, desolation, this meaning shows that the place named after this name is definitely not a good place. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Biography of Fan Zhun": "It transforms itself from the sage, flows into the wilderness."

Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem "Visiting Hengyue Temple and staying at the gate tower of Yue Temple": "I am lucky to die when I run away from the wilderness, and I am willing to die for enough food and clothing." Wei Yuan of the Qing Dynasty, "Miscellaneous Poems on Plank Roads": "The stars in the mountains and posts are cold, and the wild country is shivering." Lu Xun's "Grave? Moro's Poetry Power": "The truth of civilization is conceived in the wilderness, and the savages are buried in the wilderness, and the hidden stars are hidden inside."

Simply put, there are many tribes and continuous wars. People not only have to face the harsh natural environment and the ferocious ancient wild beasts, but also the wars initiated by tribes for territory and different camps for their respective beliefs. Such a place is called wilderness.

However, this is different from the wilderness area on the edge of the jade area. In the wilderness area on the edge of the jade area, there are only harsh natural environments, extremely powerful wild beasts, and other tribes have not seen them at all.

The barbarian beasts in the wilderness are too strong. In the depths of the barbarian zone, innate beasts can be seen everywhere. There are so many innate beasts. In the wilderness, there are no tribes that may exist.

The harsh natural environment, extremely powerful beasts, and sufficient spiritual energy make all creatures in the wilderness full of blood and violence.

This is why, the Jade District has been open for so long, but there is still no one who can survive in the wilderness. Even with such a strong strength as the warriors, they still look helpless when facing the wilderness.

The complex natural environment of the wilderness area, coupled with the extremely powerful wild beasts, makes the wilderness area a forbidden area, which is even more terrifying forbidden area than the four forbidden areas of the Jade District.

However, today, there was a little surprise in this wilderness edge, because now there are actually a few people who look like humans running quickly in the wild forest.

When you closer, you can see that these three animals are like humans, but they are indeed humans. So why did these three people enter the wilderness that is equivalent to the land of death? Are they desperate for life, or do they have other purposes? All of this is unknown.

Soon, these three people were using their light skills to quickly run on the trees in the wilderness. The three of them stopped on the trees and did not go to the ground at all.

The ground in the wilderness is too dangerous, so it is better to be safer on the trees. At least on the trees, there are no annoying and extremely dangerous poisonous insects.

You know, when they came in, there were actually five people. However, now, only three of them were left. The other two were bitten by poisonous insects and snake ants on the ground in the wilderness. Now they have lost their resistance due to poisoning and their power to move. They have been hiding on several big trees.

These three-pointers will rush back at such a fast speed, because they have completed the task assigned to them by their superiors, and they have to go back and report quickly. It is also because they have to arrive at the gathering ground as soon as possible and use the detoxification pill to detoxify the other two team members who were bitten by poisonous insects on the ground.

In such a dangerous place, it is too unsafe to place two of your comrades who have lost their resistance on the trees. The wild beasts in the wilderness can easily climb up the trees. If the two comrades hidden on the trees are discovered by the comrades, then what consequences will these two comrades have? That is conceivable.

Therefore, when these three people rushed back to the base, they used their light skills with all their strength. Moreover, in order to avoid the same danger, these three people directly chose to use light skills to run around the trees to avoid this choice of the three people.

To be honest, the choice of these three warriors has indeed prevented these three people from many unknown dangers. However, things are unpredictable, and sometimes things are like this, which makes people feel helpless.

Now it is less than five kilometers away from the base, but something suddenly appeared in front of me. The appearance of such a thing forced the three people to stop.

Now appearing in front of these three people is a large number of marching ants, densely packed with millions of marching ants.

The marching ants on the earth live in the Amazon River basin and like to live in groups. Generally, there are one or two million people in a group. They belong to migrant ants, have no fixed residence, and are used to finding prey in action.

The army ants are also called legion ants (English: armyant). The difference between them and other ants is that they will gather together to form an invading group. The invading group will walk on land and attack prey.

Marching ants usually form a large army to hunt. When they encounter prey, they will tear the prey with their jaws. After eating the prey nearby, they will continue to hunt elsewhere. While searching for prey, larger marching ants will stand near the marching ants army to protect the army.

The attack of marching ants will have certain benefits for forests. After the attack, the area will become a suitable place for animals to live in. Some people living in Africa will use marching ants to help stitch the wound. They let the marching ants bite the skin of the wound near the edge of the wound, and then pull out the head of the marching ants, because the jaws of the marching ants will clamp the skin of the wound and make the wound suture it.

The breeding characteristics of marching ants are that when they lay 250,000 eggs during a rest period (two or three weeks), they can lay about 6 eggs and finally hatch to become new ant king eggs. The new ant king or queen is female;

At the same time, more than 1,000 eggs that can develop into male ants (drones) were also produced, and finally developed and grow wings. In order to avoid mating between brothers and sisters and inbreeding, male ants will fly away as soon as possible and fly to other ant colonies to find virgin ant kings in other ant colonies to mate.

Ants are usually omnivorous animals, and their main food is some terrestrial arthropods, including spiders, millipedes, centipedes and insects. Another source of animal protein obtained by ants is to feed on larvae of other species of ants. Ants also absorb plant juice. Honey dew secreted by insects such as aphids, scaleworms and horned cicadas are also foods that ants like to eat.

When marching ants collectively prey on prey, they line up in dense and regular columns when they set off, while some ants advance in broad horizontal formations. As soon as they leave the camp, they branch and branch, encircle and besiege the hunting objects! All soft insects and slow-moving insects will become their mouths.

They bite the prey into pieces for carrying, and then advance in a marching formation.

When the main force advances, there are soldier ants with giant jaws on the front line and on both wings, and worker ants in the middle. When the army advances, it is like a surging tide. Someone has seen a 15-meter-wide military ants queue, and its prey will be immediately submerged.

Military ants are different from ordinary ants. First, they are larger than ordinary ants. They look like centipedes on the outside, and secondly, they look very fierce, like a well-trained soldier. Therefore, they are called military ants.

Military ants also have similarities with other ants, with the same living habits and the same purpose of action. When the prey is bitten by the military ants, it will be immediately annihilated by the military ants. They are group activities and will not prey on prey alone. They have neat postures, and the leader drives the whole. The leader issues orders. The military ants act immediately, so they are called military ants.

They marched constantly every day, discovering prey, eating and carrying prey. At night, the marching ants bite each other and hugged each other to rest. The worker ants were in the outer circle, and the soldier ants and small ants were surrounded. The purpose of this was to protect their next generation.

The marching ants move very quickly. Although each marching ants is very small, a drop of water can wash it away or drown it. However, the combined power is too great that nothing can block them.

When they encounter a ravine, they embrace themselves and roll down like balls to connect to the other side. They form an ant bridge and let the army pass.

A little wider, the one in front rushed down without hesitation, as if building a house to consolidate the foundation until the gullies are filled and the army passes. Of course, this scene is very tragic, because it is similar to suicide. Many ants are washed away or fallen behind, but no ants will retreat.

The hunting ability of marching ants is amazing. Usually, they form a large army to hunt. When they encounter prey, they will tear the prey with their jaws. Crickets, grasshoppers and other "big guys" whose bodies are hundreds or thousands of times larger than them are all delicacies for marching ants.

Although a cricket is very strong and confident in dealing with one or two marching ants, when hundreds of marching ants are constantly climbing up to its body and biting it, it will eventually be destroyed.

It is said on TV that even if a pig or leopard encounters a marching ants, only bones can be eaten in half a day. The reason why marching ants are so powerful is that they are large in number, and the other is that their saliva is poisonous. After their prey is bitten, they will soon be anesthetized and lose resistance. The marching ants can move about 20 meters in an hour.

There is nothing to be afraid of lions, tigers, and bears. Even humans who are known for their wariness are not afraid of them. When it comes to combat, only marching ants will make you frightened and sweat.

These excellent soldiers were wearing strong and sharp bodies, with hard shells as hard as iron armor, and sharp jaws as scimitars. They used the ant sea tactics to attack, and their number was beyond imagination. They relied on their power to cut and cut, and even if they were far ahead of their prey, they would be broken under the corpse knife.

Imagine the scene of a large group of people waving their spears at the feet of mammoths - when the marching ants attacked and caught a spear or a scorpion, the proportions between the two sides were so different. Every day, the marching ants could win in tens of thousands of such battles.

Marching ants will prey on other social insects, such as wasps, termites and other ants. If two insects confront each other, they may tie? Not so, Marching ants will usually win.

When some Arizona ants are attacked by marching ants, they will cause strong nest protection operations, and the entire cluster will evacuate. The rapidly moving worker ants are responsible for transporting eggs, larvae and pupae. They will then climb nearby plants and stay still for hours, but will slowly and carefully return to the looted nest later.

When a wasp is attacked by marching ants, its general reaction is to escape. When approaching, it will garrison in large numbers at the entrance of the hive, flapping its wings frantically to shake the hive to warn its companions in the nest.

The other type will put your head outside the nest, knock on the upper jaw and make a buzzing sound, which can be heard even seven meters away. The more aggressive wasps will try to fly into a cluster of military ants, select individual ants, and throw them away to the distance to protect the hive.

But there are too many ants, so doing this will not work. Some wasps will gather together and use their bodies to block the entrance of the honeycomb, but the ants will arrive soon and drag them away with their tentacles.

The attacks of marching ants can trigger rare behaviors of potential prey - in West Africa, large earthworms find army of marching ants coming towards them. Will they drill into the soil? No, they will slip onto the nearest tree. Some snails will blow bubbles to conceal and protect themselves.

Even vertebrates are not spared: the long legs and amazing jumping ability of African rats become ways to quickly escape the marching ant colony.

Marching ants are real super predators, but they still have the potential to escape the attacks of this hungry ant colony. Some targeted prey use daily escape mechanisms (flies fly away and grasshoppers jump away), while others evolve special marching ants defense techniques.

There is an escape mechanism that takes advantage of the blindness of the marching ant, but requires great courage and inner calm: when facing millions of ants, the marching insect will be completely still; if it moves, the marching ant will detect vibrations and launch an attack. Similarly, the beetle also trusts its protective equipment and waits for the ants to pass by.

Various spiders and caterpillars that can spin silk use their unique physiological structure to hang under the plants with silk; because the silk is too thin, the ants cannot cross. Some slugs have a slight rotation on the silk thread, and when the leaves are forced into the corner by the ants, it secretes protective mucus. If more ants appear, the slug will retreat and finally slide down the leaves and hang on the inaccessible sticky silk thread.

The fierce attacks of marching ants are good for the forest and help maintain biodiversity. When a tree falls in the forest, it will form a chaotic habitat that allows various species to enter, migrate, and grow.

Similarly, after the marching ant colony enters, the lives of animals will be completely destroyed, as if they have been wiped out. Shortly after the marching ant leaves, the area will become a breeding ground for biodiversity, and all kinds of creatures have the opportunity until the marching ant arrives again.

The saliva of the marching ants is poisonous and can easily paralyze humans and destroy synapses and spinal cord. However, the venom is not fatal. They start swallowing their prey before they die. The prey becomes bloody and dies due to severe infection within 2 minutes of attack. The marching ants are the most terrifying ant in the world and the ant that has caused the most deaths so far.

The marching ants are cruel in nature and humans invade their territory. This ants will cost humans a huge price. They are more dangerous than the water tiger fish and cause more murders than hippos. About 400 unfortunate people die every year from their getting. (To be continued...)
