Before the protagonist could react, the red-headed fly had already carried him straight up into the sky at an angle of nearly ninety degrees.
The oncoming strong wind made the protagonist a little confused. He only felt that the tall crown of the poplar tree was thrown behind him for a moment.
Countless air was suddenly forced into the body from the pores in the abdomen, and a cold feeling spread throughout the body in an instant. If the protagonist still had lungs, he would be coughing violently at this time.
The fly quickly flew high into the sky, and the wind at high altitudes was much stronger than on the ground. The fly was blown several times by the strong wind, and immediately regretted that it had flown so high on its first flight. It quickly lowered down in despair. height.
The protagonist followed his mount and performed several difficult tumbling movements in the air. For a moment, he actually felt like vomiting. This was the first time since he became an ant.
The protagonist has not bothered to use the reins to control the mount, and the red-headed fly flies completely on its own instinct.
After descending to a height of two or three meters above the ground, it began to fly flexibly through the bushes, feeling extremely comfortable and free.
The protagonist adapted for a while, finally endured the discomfort of going up to the sky for the first time, and began to think about how to control the flying mount.
Something must be said here about the cyclist’s posture on the fly.
For example, the protagonist is currently sitting on the saddle using his abdomen as a point of strength.
The ant silk on the saddle tied his back and the last pair of limbs tightly, ensuring that he would not fall even if he rolled in the air.
A pair of jointed limbs in the middle hooked two reins respectively, and played a role in controlling flight.
And his forelimbs are currently firmly grasping the bristles on the fly's back because of some fear. Of course, this pair of jointed limbs can be used to wield weapons in the future.
The protagonist's middle limbs exert a little force and pull the second rein. Sure enough, the fly felt the movement of its balance rod and obediently lowered its height.
The protagonist's hand tightened on the reins without letting go, and the fly descended all the way, and finally successfully landed on the top leaves of a bush.
This is a bush with holly-like leaves. The protagonist has no time to pay attention to the plant at this time. He looked around, and finally judged his relative position through the tall, familiar poplar tree in the distance.
In such a short time, he had actually flown dozens of meters away. As expected, those with wings can run faster than those with long legs.
After the protagonist recovered and no longer felt any discomfort, he decided to fly again. After all, we are so far away from "Dongyang City" now, and I can't walk back alone.
And if you walk back by yourself, what should you do with this fly? You can’t let it go!
So the protagonist gently lifted the first rein diagonally upwards, and the red-headed fly immediately kicked off with its middle and hind legs, opened its wings in an instant, and flew diagonally.
There was a holly branch in front of him. Before the protagonist could react and adjust his direction, the fly had already fluttered its wings and went around without being hit.
The protagonist guesses that when he does not give instructions, the fly will avoid obstacles and dangers based on instinct. So what if an order is given so that it must rush towards danger?
So the protagonist immediately lowered the height, and then directed the fly in a straight horizontal direction to hit the dense leaves of holly. As a result, the fly slowed down and landed on the leaves.
This leaves the protagonist unsatisfied, as it fails to validate his doubts.
So he took off again, desperately pulling the fly's balance rod forward. The fly kept accelerating and hit the holly tree again. This speed made it impossible for the fly to land safely. If he didn't avoid it, it would just hit it head-on.
After seeing the obstacle, the fly ignored the protagonist's instruction to keep moving forward, and flexibly made a circle to avoid the obstacle before continuing to move forward.
It seems that even after receiving instructions from the reins, flies will give priority to avoiding danger based on visual signals, and will refuse the rider's instructions at this time.
This is still a reflection of insufficient domestication. After rigorous training, human war horses can brave the hail of bullets and charge against various obstacles of the enemy on a battlefield filled with artillery fire.
And this fly obviously cannot achieve this. The protagonist is not discouraged. On the contrary, he is quite happy. This way, he has the automatic avoidance function and will not bump into anything when he is distracted.
After continuing to experiment with the direction control skills in the air, the protagonist was very satisfied. This maneuverability is much more comfortable than playing various flight simulation games back in the day.
After all, aircraft are relatively clumsy, and flies are masters of flying.
Its flight is fast and agile, and few animals can rely on flight skills to chase and catch a fly in flight, even if it is behind it, it is difficult to get close.
This is mainly due to the three organs of the fly.
The first one is the balance stick mentioned earlier.
Entomologists have discovered that the fly's hind wings degenerate into a pair of balancing rods. When it flies, the balance rod vibrates mechanically at a certain frequency, which can adjust the movement direction of the wings. It is a navigator that keeps the fly's body balanced.
Scientists have even developed a new generation of navigator based on this principle - a vibration gyroscope, which has been applied to aircraft and greatly improved the aircraft's flight performance.
The second is the fly's huge compound eyes. This pair of compound eyes contains 4,000 single eyes that can independently image, and can see objects within almost 360 degrees without any blind spots.
The third is that the olfactory organ of flies is particularly sensitive. It quickly analyzes dozens of odors and responds instantly.
After basically mastering the essentials of flying, the protagonist controlled the red-headed fly to fly back in the direction of "Dongyang City".
In an era without navigation technology, orientation could only be determined by visually observing landmarks on the ground.
Fortunately, the surrounding areas of "Dongyang City" are relatively empty, with only a tall poplar tree standing upright, which is the most conspicuous landmark.
For a fly to fly a distance of tens of meters in a straight line at full speed for a few seconds. Although the protagonist occasionally pulls the second rein back for safety reasons to control the speed of the fly.
In less than half a minute, the protagonist has controlled his mount to land steadily at the entrance of the lair.
Hua Mulan was waiting here, and she hurriedly came to greet him.
Only then did the protagonist realize that he was carried up by a fly without even saying hello. Xiaomi and Hua Mulan were confused at that time.
After reacting, the secretary asked Hua Mulan to stay here, and she ran to inform Rambo, who was teaching, that he had flown away. It seemed that he was preparing to launch a big rescue to save the protagonist who was nowhere to be found.
The protagonist quickly sent a worker ant to find Xiao Mi and told him that he was fine and had landed safely.
Later, the protagonist asked the worker ants to feed the red-headed fly a drop of honeydew as a reward.
The protagonist returned to his mount and stroked its green, shiny carapace with his forelimbs. Not only did he not find it annoying now, but he found it rather cute.
"I will call you Xiaoqing from now on!" The protagonist started his random naming method again and decided on the name of the mount.
