Chapter 1255: Dangerous Wilderness Zone (2)
The biggest reason why marching ants can become a kind of ant that people are afraid of talking about is its powerful lethality. There are nearly 400 humans who die under the gecko of marching ants every year.
The marching ants can kill so many humans within a year, relying on not only the huge ant colony (millions) of the marching ants, or the venomous marching ants that can easily paralyze humans. The main reason is that the marching ants are much larger than ordinary ants.
Ordinary ants, such as the small yellow ants that are common in the park on the roadside, in the flower beds, and in the park. They are only one or two millimeters in size, and also, termites that are very harmful to the house, are generally only a few millimeters in size. Other ordinary ants have similar shapes, but the body shapes of the marching ants are completely different.
For example, the large worker ant of the Marine Ant family has a maximum length of 7.4 mm and its morphological characteristics are also very ferocious. The surface of the body is chestnut brown to brown-yellow, and the posterior abdomen is lighter. The body has dense carving points, the posterior abdomen is lighter, there are no compound eyes, sparse pubic hairs, short, and some standing hairs on the front and posterior abdomen and ends.
Small worker ants in the subfamily of the marching ant: the body length is up to 4.6mm. The shape is similar to that of the large worker ant, with a slightly concave edge and a lighter body color.
Like the male ant among the marching ants, its individuality is even bigger and its body is 25 years long. It looks like a powerful feeling. The surface of such marching ants is brown-yellow, with palate and chestnut yellow.
Except for the outer hair on the posterior abdomen, the outer hair on the posterior abdomen has sparse hair on the ventral surface of the posterior abdomen. The end hair is dense, and the whole body is extremely rich, with silky luster. The head is narrow. The compound eyes and single eyes are very large; the upper palate is short, wide and the end is blunt, and there is a cog tooth at the base of the inner edge.
The tummy chest is large, with spherical front, small shield plates in the middle chest are flat on the side, and small shield plates in the back are narrow, and the tummy joints are sunken at the connection between the small shield plate and the tummy joints; the tummy joints are inclined on the dorsal plates of the chest and abdominal segments. The foot is short and thick; the base joints are enlarged; the rotation joints and leg joints are flat, very wide, and the tummy joints and tarsal segments are slender. Marine ants as big as the body. They are distributed in Africa, Central and South America, and the New World.
This is a total of two or three centimeters in size and millions of marching ants. I believe everyone understands it very well. It is not an exaggeration to have a marching ants killed nearly four hundred people a year.
Of course, among the marching ants, there are also smaller bodies, such as those named Eastern marching ants. Adult workers have two sizes: the large body length is only 5 to 6mm, brown in body, chestnut brown, and the abdomen is lighter than the chest; the head is close to square or rectangular. The trailing edge is deep and concave, and a longitudinal groove in the center of the forehead. There are 9 sections of the tentacles, 2 teeth in the inner edge of the upper palate, and the single eye are all developed, with no obvious seams between the front and middle chest and back plates; 1 section of the abdominal stalk joint, and the back of the chest and abdominal stalk joint are flat.
The small body length is only 2.5 to 3mm, with a dense yellow body and no longitudinal groove in the middle of the forehead. The male ant body looks like a wasp, with two pairs of wings, with a dense body length of 17 to 23mm, with dense yellow hair on the surface, yellow and transparent wings, compound eyes, and single eyes are all developed. The egg is oblong, about 1mm long, milky white. The larvae are about 2mm long and beige. The pupae is oval, about 4mm long, and beige.
Therefore, relatively speaking, this kind of marching ants named Eastern marching ants is not very harmful.
Oriental marching ants are distributed in the tropical and subtropical areas of Asia. Even in China, there are still distributions of Oriental marching ants. There are ten types of known marching ants.
The powerful marching ants on the earth are already twenty or thirty millimeters in size, but the marching ants in this wilderness on the edge of the jade area are even more intimidating. The marching ants are more than twenty centimeters, or more than two hundred millimeters, which is more than ten times the size of the most terrifying marching ants on the earth.
The marching ants on the earth that are twenty or thirty millimeters are already scary. Now, when you see these marching ants that are more than ten times the size of the marching ants on the earth, as long as you are a normal person, you will definitely run away from behind as soon as you see these marching ants.
Escape from this dangerous land before these marching ants catch up with them.
The three warriors who just stopped their figure actually had the same thoughts in their minds. When they entered the wilderness, they had already been told the power of the marching ants in the wilderness. The number of marching ants in the wilderness is calculated in tens of millions, and their toxins are also very effective for warriors.
Even if the warrior takes the detoxification pills in time, the detoxification pill is completely useless under the attack of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of marching ants.
The detoxification pill can remove ten, twenty, or even one hundred or two hundred toxins injected by the marching ants, but it will definitely not remove the toxins injected by the marching ants injected by the marching ants. Therefore, when they entered the wilderness, the superior department had warned them that when they encountered the marching ants in the wilderness, they should avoid them and not rely on being a warrior, and not take these marching ants seriously.
The consequences of underestimating the enemy and the price you pay are often your life.
"Captain, what should I do? These marching ants are blocking our way forward now, and God knows how large the marching range of these marching ants is. It is very difficult for us to find the range of marching ants in a very short time.
Maybe it will take us half a day to find a marching route to avoid these marching ants, but in that case, it will take us too long.
No. 2 and No. 5 are still waiting for us to rescue them. Even if you put a person without resistance in the forest for more than half a day on the earth, it is a very dangerous thing, let alone in the wilderness.
Captain, we have to think of ways to return to the gathering place as soon as possible, so that we can rescue No. 2 and No. 5 as soon as possible." The warrior on the far left spoke, and his tone was very anxious.
Indeed, they had already arrived at the doorstep, but they encountered the problem of marching ant blocking the road. No. 2 and No. 5 are now poisoned and have no resistance at all. Life can be said to be in danger. As a comrade, he was very anxious in his heart. Therefore, the questioning of the warrior on the far left was so anxious.
The love of comrades is indestructible.
Yes, these three warriors are actually scouts sent by the Warrior Camp. After Sheng Zheng and his team decided to capture the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast, Sheng Zheng and his team sent some warrior scouts into the edge of the wilderness.
The four-horned deer and the earth-savage beast both live in the edge of the wilderness. Although the wilderness is very dangerous, there are countless spiritual materials. The concentration of spiritual energy is much richer than that of the jade area. Therefore, powerful beasts like the four-horned deer and the earth-savage beast will of course enter the wilderness to live.
However, the strength of the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast is indeed very powerful in the jade area, but they are only at the bottom of the wilderness area, so the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast can only live on the edge of the wilderness.
Of course, every two years, the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast will enter the jade area for one or two months. At that time, it was the period when the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast gave birth to cubs.
On the edge of the wilderness, the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast are at the bottom. Therefore, the safety of raising cubs on the edge of the wilderness is very low. When the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast give birth, the bloody smell emitted by the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast will lure a large number of powerful beasts. At that time, it was the death period for the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beasts and their cubs.
Facing foreign threats and protecting the cubs' nature will make these four-horned deer and the earth-wild beasts fight to the death.
Perhaps these newly born four-horned deer and earth-wild beast mothers can repel the beasts that peek at their cubs once, twice, or even ten times, but the beasts that smell blood will come continuously. In the end, these four-horned deer, earth-wild beasts and their cubs will have only one dead end.
However, this situation is different in the jade area. The four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast are also in the form of overlords in the jade area. Even if the bloody smell of the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast when giving birth to a cub, it was smelled by other wild beasts, but these wild beasts did not dare to cause trouble for the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beasts.
This is because the powerful aura of the four-horned deer will make those beasts who want to come and fight the four-horned deer retreat in a difficult situation.
In the world of barbarian beasts, the status is very clear. Low-level barbarian beasts will consciously avoid them when they smell the smell of high-level barbarian beasts.
From this we can see that when the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast come to the jade area to give birth to their cubs, it is the best time to catch them.
In the jade area, it is much safer than in the wilderness. Moreover, even if Sheng Zheng and the others make a big noise, it doesn’t matter. These huge noises will not attract the attention of other powerful beasts. In the jade area, there are very few powerful beasts.
Unfortunately, it is November now, and the birth time of the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast has long passed. The four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast have all returned to the wilderness. Therefore, if Sheng Zheng and his friends want to catch the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast, they have to enter the wilderness.
The spiritual energy in the wilderness is very good for the cubs. Therefore, the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast will only stay in the jade area for one or two months. As long as their cubs can walk and run smoothly, the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast will also recover their strength, the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast will return to the wilderness.
The Jade Area is a treasure land for giving birth to cubs, but it is not the best place for your cubs to grow healthily. The wilderness is the best place for your cubs to grow. Therefore, even if the wilderness is very dangerous, the four-horned deer and the earth-wild beast mother will still return to the wilderness without hesitation.
In cultivating one's offspring, whether it is a beast mother or a human mother, it is the best for one's children.
The wilderness, or just the wilderness edge, is really dangerous for other warrior organizations in the Jade Area, and it can even be said to be a dead place.
The number of warriors in other warrior organizations in the Jade District, the cultivation level of warriors, and the prior reconnaissance of the wilderness edge (except Liu Guoqing of course), is much different from the warrior camp. Therefore, if these warrior organizations rashly enter the wilderness edge, they will only die in vain.
However, Sheng Zheng and the others are different. For the wilderness, whether it is Sheng Zheng or the elder group of the Commander-in-Ship Hall, they have always been unwilling to give up.
Not to mention the infinite spiritual objects that can speed up the cultivation of warriors and increase their lifespan, just the countless minerals in the wilderness, what is the world outside the wilderness, these things deeply attract the attention of Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Commander-Ship Hall.
Therefore, even if Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Commander-Ship Hall knew that the wilderness was very dangerous, Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Commander-Ship Hall continued to send people to enter the boundary of the wilderness to investigate the terrain of the wilderness, so as to know oneself and the enemy of the wilderness, and to make the best preparations for the large-scale entry of the wilderness in the future.
Unfortunately, the danger of the wilderness is far beyond Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Tongshu Hall. No matter how powerful warriors Sheng Zheng and Tongshu Hall send to enter the wilderness, they will go but never return.
As long as they enter a distance of two hundred kilometers from the wilderness, the warriors sent by Sheng Zheng and the Tongshunting Hall will end up leaving no return.
Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Commander-in-Ship Hall sent ten waves of expeditions into the wilderness. However, without exception, they all died.
The first few waves of expedition teams left no news. Only the last two waves of expedition teams sent back some useful news. It was precisely after reading these news that Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Commander-Ship Hall gave up their plans to enter the depths of the wilderness.
The last two groups of expedition teams were all the same video, such as the last video sent back by the Ninth Expedition Team made Sheng Zheng and the Elders of the Commander-Ship Hall stunned.
In this video, a large group of beasts that were nearly 300 meters long and dozens of meters high were shot. There was a huge beast horn five meters long and half a meter thick on its forehead, and were covered with scales. There were hundreds of beasts.
These giant beasts are not only very large in size, but also have their strength that makes Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Commander-in-Ship Hall feel desperate.
When the Ninth Expedition Team was filming videos of these giant beasts, they were one thousand meters away from these giant beasts, and they also concealed their figures. Logically speaking, such a distance was definitely a safe distance, but the result was indeed beyond Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Commander-in-Ship Hall, and of course, it was beyond the expectations of the Ninth Expedition Team.
The Ninth Expedition Team had just filmed the video for less than twenty seconds. One of the giant beasts turned his gaze to the Ninth Expedition Team. The giant beast's eyes were full of anger. Obviously, the giant beast discovered the Ninth Expedition Team.
Just when the ninth expedition team realized that it was not good and wanted to retreat, it was too late. The giant beast roared to the sky, and then a trace of lightning appeared on the silver-white horn on its forehead, which was more than five meters long and half a meter-sized thick.
In less than half a second, the lightning became countless tiny lightning, only the size of hair. At this moment, the giant beast's forehead shook at the Ninth Expedition Team, and countless tiny lightning, only the size of hair, were stimulated on the giant beast's forehead.
After leaving the shackles of the giant horns on the forehead of the giant beast, these lightning bolts rapidly expanded at a speed that was hard to see in the naked eye, and their volume became hundreds or even thousands of times larger. In the end, these lightning bolts that became as thick as adults' arms directly hit all members of the ninth small expedition team.
In the last video shot by Team Ninth, there are silver-white lightning...
The Ninth Expedition Team was destroyed by those unknown giant beasts, and the encounter of the Tenth Expedition Team was similar to that of the Ninth Expedition Team. The Tenth Expedition Team encountered a group of wild beasts like cows. The only difference was that the hair on these "cows" were fiery red.
However, this group of fiery red cattle is not as gentle as those on the earth. When these fiery red cattle meet the 10th Expedition Team again, one of the fiery red cattle directly waved its horns at the 10th Expedition Team. The flames filled the sky with the video of the 10th Expedition Team... The 10th Expedition Team was destroyed.
It was precisely with these two videos that Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Commander-in-Ship Hall did not send other expedition teams into the depths of the wilderness, because they knew that facing such invincible power, even if they sent millions of expedition teams into the depths of the wilderness, they would have gone but no return.
If you want to explore and clear the things deep in the wilderness, you can only wait for a certain number of innate warriors to appear in the warriors' army. Otherwise, Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Commander Hall - to send several pairs of expedition teams into the wilderness, the result will be a group of destruction.
Of course, another reason why Sheng Zheng and the elders of the Tongshuating Hall made such a decision was that the edges of the wilderness area had not been investigated and cleared, and the edges of the border between the wilderness area and the jade area were thousands of kilometers long.
Thousands of kilometers long and two hundred miles wide, such a wilderness edge area, the time, energy and money it takes to investigate and clear the details of such a place is enough for the elders of the Tongshu Hall to have a headache. Therefore, the elders of the Tongshu Hall can only temporarily forget the depths of the wilderness area.
In fact, it was very wise for the elders of the Commander-in-Chief Hall to make this decision, because Zhao Chaogang only set up 300 kilometers on the edge of the wilderness. When they entered, they would be deep in the wilderness. At that time, the innate beasts would appear. Moreover, the innate beasts deep in the wilderness were not only one or two, but thousands.
Faced with so many innate beasts, even if the elders of the Commander Hall sent hundreds or thousands of teams of expeditions into the depths of the wilderness, it would be a meat bun to beat the dog, and they would never go back! (To be continued...)
