When the wasps flew in a straight line to chase the eagle, the trunk of the tree where the scout team was located was the only path they must pass. The moment they cross the tree trunk is also their most vulnerable moment.
At this time, the two wasps did not find the protagonist and the mantis on the trunk, because the reconnaissance team was almost stationary, and most insects would ignore stationary enemy targets. Especially when there are other moving targets directly in front of them.
Moreover, at this time, the Wasp was facing the protagonist and the Mantis from the side. The side target was larger and the field of view was also affected.
As we all know, insects have a single eye and a compound eye. The single eye is a photoreceptor with a simple structure that can only sense the intensity of light but cannot see. The compound eye is a visual organ composed of a large number of small eyes, and it is also the main visual organ of insects.
When the protagonist attacked the wasp from the side, only one compound eye of the wasp observed the abnormality. Just like humans cannot accurately judge distances when seeing with one eye, insects also have this problem.
The Wasp, which only found an abnormality on one side, did not immediately react to the distance and purpose of the protagonists. The Wasp just instinctively wanted to turn around and face the attacker head-on.
Although the wasp turned around slowly, the fly mount pounced faster. You know, the instantaneous speed of a fly taking off is extremely fast, and its straight-line flight speed is not weaker than that of a wasp.
The protagonist has already taken out the spear from its holster. His two hind limbs were tied to the fly saddle with safety ropes, his two middle limbs controlled the reins, and his two forelimbs firmly hooked the spear and held it flat in front of him, just like a medieval knight charging towards the enemy. The gun charged at one of the wasps.
Mantis Tiger followed closely behind. He also had the same posture and the same movements. This was the order given by the protagonist.
At this time, the two wasps had just completed half of their body rotation.
The target chosen by the protagonist is the wasp's weakness - its huge compound eyes.
Insects have a hard exoskeleton, which is the carapace, and wasps are no exception. The black and yellow warning colors are the color of the carapace.
This is the first time that a gravel spear has been used in combat, and the protagonist has no confidence that the gravel spearhead can penetrate the wasp's carapace defense. The only weaknesses of the carapace are the compound eyes and the gaps in the carapace. The gaps in the carapace are too small and cannot be accurately hit during high-speed assaults. The protagonist naturally chooses the compound eyes with a larger target.
The protagonist stares at the turning wasp. The wasp's head has appeared in front of the protagonist at a 45-degree angle, and the shadows of the protagonist and Xiao Qing II have been reflected in the huge compound eye.
Getting closer and closer, Xiao Qing II was about to collide with the wasp. It was too late, but it was so fast. In an instant, the protagonist grabbed the reins with his middle limbs, and Xiao Qing II climbed up dexterously. The wasp passed lightly overhead.
At the moment when the two sides met, the protagonist had already thrust out the spear with force, and then felt something hit.
A huge force came, and the protagonist's forelimb grasp was unstable, and the spear handle fell from his hand.
Looking back, I saw that the spear had been broken into two parts, one part was spinning towards the ground, and the other part was inserted into the wasp's left eye.
This wasp was severely injured. Although the compound eye is composed of many small eyes, damage to the compound eye itself will not cause much damage, but behind the compound eye is where the wasp's brain nerves are located.
The sharp and polished gravel spearhead passed straight through the compound eye and hit the wasp's brain, severely damaging this part of the nerve.
But the wasp is still alive.
It can only be said that insects are indeed very powerful. Injury to the head of humans or other mammals is almost a dead end, but insects can continue to survive for a long time with their heads removed, until they die of hunger and thirst.
This is because insects have a simple neural structure and can carry out basic neural conditioned reflexes even without a brain. Moreover, insects' respiratory and circulatory organs are within the body and do not rely on the head.
The wasp's brain was damaged and it had entered a "vegetative" state. It began to rush randomly and even its flying posture was abnormal. This also means it has lost its threat.
The mantis's sprint over there was a little worse. This was his first time fighting. As a male ant, he was very resistant. However, under the strict orders of the protagonist and the threat of the wasp, he still took action.
The mantis also accurately hit the wasp's compound eye, but failed to let the spear tip penetrate deeply into the brain nerve. This wasp had a short spear stuck in its compound eye and tissue fluid was flowing. It was injured and fled towards the wasp swarm.
Although the melee here was short-lived, it had already attracted the attention of the wasp swarm. In an instant, three more wasps left the swarm and rushed here quickly.
The protagonist and Mantis have lost their spears. Flying Eagle rushes here to join them. His spear is still there. In addition, they only have some slings on them.
The protagonist immediately fled south with the Mantis Tiger and the Flying Eagle. Without weapons and no advantage of sneak attacks, they were no match for the Wasp.
If you ask which insect is the dominant one in the air? If we only consider the one-on-one situation, there will definitely be different opinions. But if groups are included in the discussion, then wasps, wasps and other bees are definitely the undoubted options, just like the weak single ants that dominate the ground.
Now, the overlord on the ground has come to the home court of the overlord in the air, and has no choice but to flee.
The protagonist no longer wants to unravel the secret of how the ant barbarian army entered the dense forest. He just wants to escape and escape from the mouth of the wasp again.
Speaking of which, this is the second time the protagonist has encountered a wasp, and each time he ran away. The protagonist was able to "parachute" to the ground last time, because the incident location was not far from the "Bridgehead" and he could escape on foot.
Now, if the protagonist dares to "parachute", it is completely impossible for the protagonist to cross the entire territory of the Pavement Ant Barbarians and return to the vicinity of the river.
There is only one way in front of the protagonist, and that is to make an emergency evacuation on a mount and run away.
But this is not an easy task. The wasp can fly even faster than the reconnaissance team. On the one hand, this is because the wasp is larger and the thrust provided by its wings is also strong. On the other hand, the flying knight riding on the back of the fly seriously interferes with the speed of the fly.
Fortunately, although flies do not have an advantage in straight-line speed, in the complex environment of the woods, they can continue to change direction and change direction easily, often using obstacles to hinder the pursuers behind them.
At this time, except for the protagonist, the vision and reaction of the flying knights are no longer enough to control the mount. They can only let go and let the fly escape on its own without controlling the reins.
In this case, the flies will not move in groups, but will scatter in all directions.
As a result, the protagonist, Flying Eagle and the others dispersed...
