Laws of the Insect Hive

Just like the thoughts of all intelligent creatures in Lierte Forest, the winter of Lierte Forest has never ended after the return of the Glacier Lord.

The icy cold wind keeps the temperature of the forest dropping, but the degree of this cold wind has weakened a little in the last two months, and the severe winter climate in Lierte Forest has also stabilized, at least the temperature will not continue to drop.

In the past few months, many ice and snow creatures appeared in the Lierte Forest.

Snow-white foxes, pale blue frost slimes, butterflies with blue patterns and some strange insects.

The leaves of the original trees in the forest have basically dried, and most of them have fallen down with the snow and ice, but some special plants have grown on the branches of some trees, which are green and withered yellow moss.

These moss plants can secrete special sap, which has the ability to dissolve ice and snow, and the interior of the moss cannot be frozen by the cold.

This special moss, along with a mushroom with a snow-like appearance, is the basis for the rejuvenation of the Liert Forest in winter.

...

The sunny weather in Lierte Forest has lasted for half a month. In the white world of ice and snow, only the moonlight and starlight at night will make it not dim.

In a snow cave, a snow-white mouse gradually woke up from a sweet sleep.

Like the nocturnal habit of the mice in Liltsen in warm climates, the white-furred mice also forage in the wild at night.

It has only been two months since the white mouse was born, and it will never know how good the living conditions of the mouse predecessors in the warm climate are.

At that time, the forest was full of plants, and you could find a wide variety of food in just a few steps, dig through the rotting dead leaves, and eat delicious and nutritious earthworms and centipedes.

But there are advantages and disadvantages.

Although food is scarce in the icy forest, the danger in the icy forest is also much less.

The white mouse can also never imagine how frightened its predecessors are every time they go out for food in the icy forest.

Using a sensitive nose to sniff, the white mouse's idea is very simple. On the one hand, it searches for moss and white mushrooms in the forest, and on the other hand, it looks for the smell of female mice.

A few days ago, it clearly found the cry of a female mouse, and also found the feces left by the female mouse in the snow, but in the past two days, it has not been able to find the female mouse. It seems that the one The female mice have left the same.

The white mouse suddenly smelled a delicious aroma, and following the smell, the white mouse quickly found green moss and mushrooms accumulated in the corner of a tree.

The two kinds of food were mixed with each other and seemed to be smashed. Even though they were far apart, the white mice could smell a strong sweet smell.

The white mouse seemed to feel something was wrong, but it couldn't figure out what was wrong because of its IQ. After hesitating for a while, the white mouse moved over and started eating because of its hunger.

The eating white rat suddenly had an idea.

It is clear that the line of sight outside is better in the daytime, and it is easier to find food, why does it go out to forage at night?

The white mouse's head showed a thoughtful expression. It found that its body seemed to be a little stiff, and the two forelimbs that grasped the food twitched uncontrollably.

The white mouse rolled to the ground uncontrollably, its body seemed to be paralyzed, not under its control at all.

The icy wind was blowing on its hairless belly, and the white mouse tried to turn over to warm its belly, but found that it couldn't do it at all.

It didn't take long for the eyes of the white mouse to find several strange insects with a size of four centimeters and a gray-white body.

The white mouse has never seen this kind of insect, but its survival instinct tells it what this insect is. This is a slightly larger ant, and it is a kind of food that it can eat.

Saliva flowed out of the white mouse's mouth involuntarily.

Since he was born, he has only eaten moss and mushrooms except for the milk of the mother mouse, and has never eaten any other food.

In the sight of the white mouse, two ants climbed up in front of it and opened their claws, as if they were biting at its throat.

It didn't feel any pain, and the gurgling blood didn't seem to be its own.

The white mouse only felt that its body was very cold, especially the cold wind blowing on its belly became colder, and it wanted to turn over...

...

After the five large gray-white ants killed the white mouse, it didn't take long for seven worker ants of the same size to arrive in the snow.

The twelve ants first shared the blood gushing out of the rat's neck, and then cooperated with each other to lift the rat's corpse and carry it towards their nest.

These ants appear to be more intelligent than ordinary ants.

Unlike some ants in summer who also like to carry large pieces of food, in the process of carrying food, some ants with low intelligence are always doing useless work, and may even drag the food in the opposite direction.

Twelve ants took almost the same steps. They carried the mouse's corpse over the rugged ice and snow road, as if walking on the ground. After ten minutes, they carried the mouse to the entrance of the five-meter-deep wintering crypt. place.

There are not many ants in this wintering crypt, only about a hundred.

Near the entrance of the overwintering crypt, there are two soldier ants with a size of 10 cm. When the soldier ants saw the worker ant team returning from hunting, they moved out of the way and communicated with these ants with their tentacles...

It didn't take long for more than a dozen ants to climb out of System's wintering nest. These two dozen ants cooperated with each other to carry the mouse carcass to an empty room in the nest where meat was stored.

Successfully catching a mouse with a trap containing paralyzing toxin is obviously no small feat.

To capture such large prey, if their king or Shava does not take action, it will basically take a few days to catch them once.

Although more than 20 worker ants have higher IQs than ordinary ants, their IQs are also significantly different.

One of them had a black spot on his forehead, and the worker ant named Black by System had a good intelligence.

In addition to the name Black, it is often referred to by Wang as Xiao Hei.

Black's body is smaller than the average worker ant, and although it is much larger than the average black-brown worker ant, it is a stunted worker ant in this nest.

But as the king said, after God takes away one thing from it, he will give it another thing.

According to Wang, its body has the possibility of activating a peculiar ability. After possessing this ability, it can have the ability to transmit spiritual messages just like Wang.

In the entire nest, except for the king and the queen Linda, he is the only one who has the possibility to transmit spiritual messages.

Black moved back and forth in the five-meter-deep lair, and after being discovered by the king that it had good intelligence, he was given a special task by the king——

He usually patrols the lair, and when there is something big or small, he will find the king to report.

However, Blake searched the empty room where the king was always in the five-meter-deep lair, but still did not find any trace of the king, not even the knight Shava.

According to Black's guess, the king at this time should have gone out with Shava again...
