Ye An

Chapter 316 Harvest

Army ants, black ants, fire ants, termites.

In the dark night, ant colonies of different species and sizes swarmed towards the ruins of Sunset City.

The soldier ants lined up in long lines, set up long passages, and showed the tongs above their heads to the unfamiliar ants to protect the safety of the worker ants.

Army ants are the fastest.

While other ant colonies were busy setting up passages, the first batch of army ants had already approached the city and climbed up the mottled city wall.The vanguard found the gap between the bluestones, measured the distance with their tentacles, and quickly drilled inward, rushing into the city first.

The flying squirrel was the first to discover these uninvited guests.

The first flying squirrel made a sound to warn its companions.Except for the flying squirrels that had already landed, the rest gathered quickly, gave up the hunt, climbed to a high place with the fastest speed, spread their limbs from the city wall, and slid out of the city one after another like square flying carpets.

They live underground in a wide range and inevitably encounter foraging army ants.

Adult flying squirrels are well aware of the power of ant colonies.First, there are a few sporadic ones. After finding the target, a large army will appear soon, and they will not be able to escape even if they want to run.

The two flying squirrels were unlucky and crashed into a larger ant colony when they landed.

Just when they thought they had little chance of survival and were about to fight to the death, the ant colony seemed to be guided and separated like a tide, bypassing them from both sides and continuing to march towards the ruins.

After modifying the roof of the car, the hunters held torches and saw the ant colonies gathered around the ruins. They felt chills in their backs and swallowed nervously.

"God, Lord Ye is really..."

Jason squatted and knelt beside Xiao Yun, moved the torch forward, saw a large number of worker ants climbing up the city wall, and subconsciously rubbed his arms before he finished speaking.

Just imagine, if he was surrounded by these mutated ants, unless he could fly, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Just when the hunters had similar thoughts, a burst of dense wings flapped through the air.

A large group of winged termites appeared in the night sky, hovering and flying in the scorching air, forming a striking white line, easily crossing the city wall.

The hunters fell silent, looking at Ye An who was standing among the ants, they felt even more awe, even uncontrollable fear.

Standing on the roof of the car, Xiao Yun noticed the changes in everyone's expressions and didn't say much. He just condensed an ice bridge and reached Ye An's position.

Ye An pressed down on the bridge deck with one hand, signaling Xiao Yun to stay where he was and not to approach him.

More and more mutant ants have been summoned, which has exceeded his expectations.He needs to concentrate to be able to communicate with all the ants to ensure that everyone has the same goal and does not conflict with each other.A little carelessness may bring unexpected consequences.

Relying on his ability, he can be accepted by the ant colony.

Not necessarily Xiao Yun.

Under the condition of not ensuring safety and not wanting unnecessary conflicts, Ye An still hoped that Xiao Yun would stay in the camp and not get involved.

"I can do it myself."

Ye An waved his hand to Xiao Yun, and told each other the real reason through their contact.

Xiao Yun had already stepped onto the ice bridge, understood Ye An's worry, and finally withdrew his feet.

The cold wind winding around the bridge disappeared, and the ice bridge melted and broke under the high temperature.The broken ice cubes rolled to the ground and hit the ant colony, and were immediately further crushed by the worker ants and distributed to more companions.

Seeing this scene, Jason looked at Xiao Yun hesitantly to speak.

Xiao Yun glanced at him, his pupils reflected the flames, there was no warmth, but it was extraordinarily cold.

Jason shuddered involuntarily, closed his mouth, and maintained a squatting posture, moving laterally to the rear of the car, trying to stay away from the cold-smelling City Lord Xiao as much as possible.

Even if he was heated to the point of smoking, he didn't dare to take half a step closer.

The hunter's intuition told him that saving his life was the most important thing.

More and more mutated ants climbed up the city wall. Flying ants crossed the city wall and surrounded the green light in the sky first.

The firefly found the enemy, and the green light flashed more and more frequently.

In the ruins, there was a burst of light, and the fireflies passed messages to each other, preparing to face the sudden appearance of the ant colony.

Ye An led the ant colony to the ruins. He would not interfere too much in the next battle. Different types of mutated ants have unique abilities, and they can freely display them in hunting.

In mid-air, the flying ants and the male fireflies started to fight, the numbers of each other were equal, and it was difficult to distinguish between them for a while.As time passed, more flying ants came from all directions, and the fireflies became overwhelmed, and gradually fell into a disadvantage in the face of absolute numbers.

On the ground, female fireflies rely on their larger bodies and hard armor on their heads to fight against the ant colony and achieve good results.However, their attack and defense methods are too simple. After being discovered by the ant colony, different ant colonies adopt the same strategy and work together to separate the fireflies, forming encircling circles of different sizes, and then hunt them one by one.

The attack of the marching ants was the most violent. The big soldier ants held the head of the firefly, and the worker ants took the opportunity to swarm up and dismantle the firefly on the spot.In the cooperation with each other, the movements of the ant colony become more and more proficient, and the efficiency is also higher and higher.

Both black and fire ants spray venom that penetrates the fireflies' skin and renders them incapacitated.

Termites are less aggressive on the ground, and flying ants make up for this loss in the air.The killed male fireflies are brought back to the nest by flying ants before they fall, and stored in the burrows and passages where the fungi are grown.

Ye An boarded the city wall and looked down from a high place, only to see green lights flashing in every corner, covering the whole city.

After the ants swarmed in, the green light was divided into pieces and gradually ate away.Even so, only a small number of fireflies are hunted.After laying eggs, more females calmly returned to the ground, disappearing one after another.

Ye An selected the area occupied by termites and climbed down the uneven city wall. After landing with his feet, he unexpectedly found that the soil in the city was very soft, especially the area where tall grass was dense. When he stepped on it, his feet almost sank into it.

Walking along the path opened by the termites, Ye An locked onto a small group of fireflies, avoided the attack of the swarm, wrapped his hands in animal skins, untied his pocket, and picked the largest firefly to put in.

During the capture process, Ye An found that these fireflies feel very good to the touch, the head and limbs are not lifted, and the abdomen is soft and cool. Suddenly, a strange thought came to mind: can this thing be eaten?

The female firefly is not small, and the bag Ye An brought filled up quickly, and it was quite heavy to carry it with one hand.

While he was busy, the surrounding fireflies kept disappearing, and some of them attacked angrily.

Fortunately, there is an ant colony, otherwise, even if he has supernatural powers, facing such a huge number and intensive attacks, it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

After completing the plan, Ye An prepared to leave the city with the harvest.

The hunting of the ant colony is also coming to an end.

Even if a small number of members were killed or injured, compared to the gains from this trip, it is completely acceptable.

The dry season is coming to an end, and the snow season is not easy. Harvesting so much food at one time is enough for the ant colony not to starve in the following days.

Different types of soldier ants and worker ants stepped forward and touched Ye An with their antennae to express their gratitude to him.

Ye An bid farewell to the ants and was about to climb up the city wall when the wet mud under his feet suddenly began to roll, as if something had awakened underground and was about to break through the ground.

Feeling troublesome, Ye An didn't plan to stay for a long time, grabbed the rope left before, quickly climbed up, and reminded the ant colony that there is something underground, it is best to leave quickly.

Ant colonies also sense danger and quickly send signals to their peers.

Since most mutant ants have poor eyesight, and some have no eyes at all, it is inevitable to encounter strange guys during the process.In view of the urgency of the situation, there was no conflict with each other, but they bypassed each other, but they did not forget to warn each other: if you expose this time, you will not have such good luck next time!

Ye An and the ant colony withdrew from the city, and there was a sound like thunder from the ruins.

The wet mud and the mutated plants growing on it were overturned, and a huge black figure with a bulging belly appeared in the ruins.

Hearing the sound, Ye An paused, stopped among the ants that were leaving like a tide, and turned his gaze back to Sunset City wrapped in the dark night.

If he heard it right, was that the call of a bullfrog?

The taste of bullfrog is quite good.
