The bees obviously couldn't tolerate the group of ants that couldn't be driven away. After the eviction failed, the bees began to become anxious.
They have very little experience in dealing with ants. In the past, ants were not considered a threat to the hive, and bees have never had a direct conflict with ants.
So, in their rage, the bees seemed to have forgotten that compared to ants, they were not good at ground combat.
Led by the leader's worker bee, whose legs were stained with pollen, the bees landed one after another between the hunter ants and the hive tree hole, blocking the ants' path to the hive. Then they swarmed together and crawled towards the hunter ant scouts.
These bees are crowded together and moving in an undulating line, which looks somewhat similar to the formation of ants. However, these bees are obviously not good at this kind of ground array. The actions of individual bees are not consistent, and the wings are too large to interfere with each other. This "military array" appears to be both loose and chaotic.
The hunting ants also huddled together, facing the direction of the bees.
Soon, the two sides were close enough to directly threaten each other.
The bees stopped, waiting for the first arrival, and then opened their jaws at the ants.
Not to be outdone, the ants also formed a straight line. This straight line was tighter and straighter than the bees on the opposite side, reflecting the discipline and organization that the ants had learned in the Legion of the King of Gods. . They also showed their sharp jaws to the bees.
The bees were in a mess and could not maintain their array. Some bees briefly rushed forward to bite an ant, but the predatory ants were always able to retreat quickly enough to avoid the bee's attack.
But it is difficult for the bees to avoid the counterattack of the hunting ants. Soon one or two bees that were too forward were besieged by the scythe-hunting ants, and were pulled away unable to return to their companions.
The nearby hunter ants immediately swarmed up and dragged the unlucky worker bee into their own formation.
Seeing their companions being besieged, the other worker bees finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped maintaining their front line and began to attack at will, leading to a fight on the battlefield.
This is exactly how the hunting ants like to fight!
I saw the hunting ants deftly avoiding the sudden enemy attacks from the bees. They are natural warriors and hunters, good at swimming, and good at dealing with opponents larger than themselves.
A dozen worker bees were tricked around by dozens of predatory ants. Except for a few worker bees that were dragged by the ants and unable to escape, the other worker bees could only take off quickly to get rid of these difficult opponents.
The few worker bees that were left behind were quickly killed, and the predatory ants would take the opportunity to circle around its back and bite hard on its neck until its head was cut off.
Witnessing the death of their companions finally inspired the ferocity of this swarm of bees.
The protagonist watching the battle on a branch in the distance saw one of the worker bees returning to the nest, and apparently called the police.
Other worker bees were hovering in the air with their abdomens facing forward, revealing the sharp stingers on their abdomens.
Just when the protagonist thought that the opponent had evolved the unique skill of spraying bee venom remotely, he saw the swarm of bees flying down again. Apparently, their stingers can't attack from a distance yet, which is good news for the ants.
Several worker bees tried to land directly on the backs of the predatory ants, and then attacked the enemies with their stingers. They finally realized that they were no match for ants who were better at fighting on the ground and their jaws.
But in the sky, bees rule.
The hunting ants also realized the threat and began to disperse, no longer joining the group. As natural hunters, hunting ants are very knowledgeable about various insects and know how to adopt the most appropriate response tactics in a timely manner.
Since the hunter ants are larger than the big-headed ants, bees pose a greater threat to them. If a bee lays on its back and gets a sting, the outcome will not be any better than those bees that climb up its back. go.
I saw bees swooping in the air repeatedly trying to find opportunities to sting the ants, while the predatory ants moved left and right to avoid, making it difficult to launch a counterattack against the bees in the air.
Although some ants also try to catch the bee as it swoops down, preventing the bee from returning. However, bees have excellent flying skills, and can often avoid the long-awaited attacks of scythe-hunting ants in the shortest time and with a last-minute tweak.
The air superiority and ground superiority of both sides restrict each other, and this small-scale battle seems to have reached a stalemate.
At this time, a large number of bees began to emerge from the tree hole of the hive. They took off from the tree branch platform under the tree hole. However, they did not rush to join the battle not far away. Instead, they hovered in the air, waiting for their companions to join. .
Very soon, hundreds of bees gathered outside the hive. These bees gathered together, like a black mist, and the harsh buzzing sound still stung the protagonist's antennae, even though he was several meters away, and it also caused pain in his brain. It felt uncomfortable for a while, like being forced to listen to the sound of an iron knife scraping a porcelain plate.
The swarm finally began to move, heading towards the battlefield not far away.
The ants also have very good eyesight and can see the arrival of the swarm in advance. In fact, even big-headed ants with poor eyesight can recognize the enemy's incoming attack from the noisy sounds.
This is just a tentative attack. There is no need for the hunting ants to fight with the superior enemy. They have already received the order.
After discovering that the enemy was approaching quickly and it was no longer possible to escape quickly on foot, the commander of the ant-hunting team quickly sent out a scent message.
Then, as if they were juggling, they kicked off their back limbs and broke away from the surface of the tree bark. Under the influence of gravity, they drifted down to the ground.
The height of several meters, the lightness of the body, and the resistance of the air determine that the ants will not be harmed even if they fall freely.
It's just that the location of the drop cannot be controlled. Fortunately, there is no wind today. The ants will not scatter too far and can return to the "Dongyang City" nest on their own.
The bees obviously did not expect the ants' move, and they did not make any move when the ants were in the air and unable to resist.
A large swarm of bees came in force, but looked blankly at the empty battlefield - communication between bees was not very convenient, and some bees who came later had no idea what was going on.
Just as the bees were hesitant, the big-headed ant troops at the lower part of the trunk also began to withdraw one after another. They were much more calm, and under the leadership of the mantis, they climbed all the way along the trunk to the bottom without encountering any obstacles.
The bees returned to their hive after wandering for a while. Although a few worker bees were lost in this small conflict today, it was not taken seriously. Anyway, the hive was not attacked. This was just another ordinary day for the bees. .
