The rustling sound of countless ants crawling across the ground sounded from all directions, like a sleeping giant being awakened, and an inexplicable sense of crisis enveloped the protagonist's heart.

Not far in front of the protagonist, on the dark ground, from behind the long leaves hanging to the ground, several parasitic ants suddenly appeared. They crawled here following the sound and smell of the fight just now.

The protagonist felt something bad, so he hurriedly climbed up a nearby grass stem, climbed to a height of two decimeters along the grass stem, and tried to look around.

Although the light inside the grass is dim, the nearby vegetation and grass stems are constantly swaying, making a dense sound of blades rubbing, and there are figures not far away.

Not long after, the protagonist found himself surrounded.

Countless parasitic ants who came following the sound and smell soon discovered the body of the dead parasitic ant. Later, the large worker ants leading the team discovered the figure of the protagonist who was secretly hiding on the grass stems to watch.

This is another parasitic ant army. Like the army ambushing in the bushes, they were ordered to ambush in the grass with complex terrain, planning to ambush the Angel King's army who dared to pursue. The Angel King's army didn't come, but by accident, they surrounded the big fish, the protagonist.

The surroundings are densely packed with parasitic ants, and the enemies have begun to crawl away from the grass stems under the command of the big worker ants, getting closer and closer to the protagonist.

At this moment, the protagonist is almost unable to escape. There are enemies everywhere on the ground and he cannot fly in the sky. Where is his way out?

The protagonist starts to climb towards the top of the grass stem, but the height of the grass is limited, and the enemy's pursuit behind him will not stop. This effort seems to be in vain.

Soon, the protagonist is chased to the end of a blade of grass, with no way out. One by one, the parasitic ants have followed the smell and climbed onto the leaves.

Perhaps with the power of his "God descending to earth", the protagonist can kill dozens or hundreds of enemies. However, his strength is limited after all. Facing an entire legion, no matter how brave an individual is, there is nothing he can do to save himself.

The protagonist looked around, and with a sudden heart, he decided to jump to a place on the ground where there were fewer enemies, and then fight his way out. As for whether he would be dragged into a siege by the enemy and die in a fierce battle, he could no longer think about it that much.

As for why he didn't jump to the leaves of other plants, I can only say that the protagonist didn't think of this at first. When he was desperate, he found that there were no plant leaves close enough to jump to - the nearest piece of grass. Ye is also two decimeters away.

You know, ants have very weak or even no jumping ability. Most ants only crawl throughout their lives.

There is only one type of ant that is really good at bouncing on its legs: the hunter ant, also known as the hunter ant, which is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas.

The hunting sickle often nests in the soil in cool and moist places such as forest edges and sparse grasslands. The size of the colony is small, and a mature colony does not exceed 200 individuals.

The hunting sickle usually moves alone and mainly hunts small arthropod insects. When they find prey or an enemy, they will shake their butts from side to side, follow the prey and lurk close to it, then suddenly jump up to attack, then use their long sickle-like teeth to firmly clamp the prey, and then use their tail pincers to give it a fatal blow.

The reason for this method of hunting is that the hunting scythe has two abilities that ordinary ants do not have: good eyesight and jumping.

Generally, ants have a very short field of vision, but hunting scythes have excellent eyesight. And with vision comes the foundation and meaning of "jumping".

The jumping distance of the hunting sickle is about 5-10 centimeters. Compared with its body length, this is a very good data, equivalent to a standing long jump score of 4-8 meters for a 1.7-meter human.

However, the big-headed ant to which the protagonist belongs is a typical ant species that can only crawl but cannot jump. The protagonist himself has also experimented. Even though he has great strength, due to the leg structure and muscle structure, he can pedal instantly It is difficult to mobilize all the strength when exerting force.

With the protagonist's strange strength, he can jump one decimeter from flat ground. This data looks good, but it is far inferior to insects such as locusts and fleas.

Moreover, the protagonist's current embarrassing situation is that there are no suitable plants for him to jump over and escape near the location where he escaped, so he can only jump to the ground for a chance of survival.

Seeing that the enemy is approaching, the protagonist's heart is high, his legs are strong, and he is ready to jump off the leaf.

But at this time, something unexpected but reasonable happened.

The protagonist felt that with his exertion, the entire grass blade and even the grass stem were bent down - this was the result of the protagonist's huge strength.

Then as the protagonist recovers his power, when he jumps up, the grass blades and grass stems rebound suddenly like flattened springs, giving the protagonist another force.

So the protagonist's jumping distance this time was far more than one decimeter, and he was suddenly bounced to a plant in front of him, and landed firmly on the blade of the grass.

But on the original grass, due to the violent swing of the grass stems and leaves, many parasitic ants that were unstable were thrown away.

The protagonist was stunned for a moment, and finally figured out the reason. Due to a strange combination of circumstances, the grass stems and leaves acted as springs, greatly increasing his jumping distance. Now he had a narrow escape.

However, the crisis has not yet reached the point. The parasitic ants suddenly lost their target. After wandering blindly for a while, the big worker ants re-locked on the figure of the protagonist who was sneakily trying to slip back to the ground from the grass stem. The ants were worried about the moving Objects are still relatively sensitive. And to make matters worse, a large pale gold worker ant also appeared. Her eyesight was better, which meant that the protagonist's plan to sneak away was impossible.

So the organized parasitic ants once again surrounded the plant where the protagonist was, and then climbed up.

The protagonist had no choice but to continue crawling back dejectedly, giving up the plan of returning to the ground. Fortunately, the experience just now gave the protagonist an option to escape.

So the protagonist came to the grass blades again, selected the target in the distance, and pressed hard on the grass blades twice. After the pressed grass stems swayed to and fro, the protagonist accumulated enough strength, and then the protagonist took off. This time, the protagonist landed safely on a blade of grass three meters away.

This feeling of flying in the sky is like riding a roller coaster, with both a sense of acceleration and a sense of falling, which is very exciting.

This time, the protagonist simply didn't wait for the enemy to find him again and besiege him. He chose the target first and took off again.

After wandering through the weeds and jungles like Tarzan several times, the protagonist finally got rid of the damn enemy.

Soon the grass came to an end, and the protagonist got out. There were no enemies around, the sun was shining, the breeze was gentle, and everything was beautiful.

The protagonist breathed the air greedily, stretched, and walked towards the fortress.

I escaped, it’s great to be alive!
