But the protagonist soon realizes that he has underestimated the potential threat of snails.
He had just returned to the humid underground and returned to his dormitory not far from the combustion chamber. After barely falling asleep in an environment that was too humid and uncomfortable, he was woken up by warning soldiers.
After receiving the warning, the protagonist hurried to the top of the anthill. At the same time, other warriors also woke up and prepared for battle.
The protagonist looks down at the terrifying scene of ants at his feet: the ant mound as thick as a bamboo tube is surrounded by various large and small snails. Some snails have climbed to the surface of the ant mound and are chewing on the outer wall of the ant mound. In many places They all showed pitted and gnawed marks.
The crystal clear wakes of countless snails surrounded the ant mound and covered the surface of the lower half of the ant mound. However, the numerous grass blades on the ground near the ant mound have almost all disappeared.
It seems that after the snails ate up all the grass on the ground, they began to besiege the ant nest for some reason.
It turns out that these vegetarian individuals in the snails like the fresh and juicy grass. After being attracted by the smell of the grass juice, they feast here. After all, they don't have many opportunities to eat green grass on weekdays. They are not as good at climbing plants as their close relatives, snails, and tall grass blades are usually just out of reach.
Carnivorous snails, on the other hand, follow their food - other snails.
After the grass blades on the ground were eaten clean, hundreds of vegetarian snails began to instinctively look for food nearby. Since the ants had previously carried a lot of grass blades into their nests, there was a strong smell of grass juice lingering nearby, which attracted the snails. They gathered one after another.
These snails really eat anything. When underwater, they can eat algae and other plants. On the tidal flats, they can even eat sediment, digesting the organic matter inside and then expelling waste.
When these snails arrived at the ant mound, they instinctively gnawed on the soil all the way, and then began to chew on the crude ant concrete that made up the ant mound.
The ant concrete used to build the ant mound is composed of gravel, ant glue and some grass stems. The ant glue is rich in protein and the grass stems are also edible. The snails soon discovered that these hard soils are richer in nutrients than other soils and are more ferocious. Gather around.
The simple version of ant concrete is not as strong as the normal formula of ant concrete, and it disappears little by little under the mouth of the seemingly soft snail.
The ant warriors responsible for guarding the nest raised the alarm when they discovered that the nest was being eaten by snails.
Naturally, the protagonist cannot sit back and watch these snails invading the ant nest that was finally built. This nest has become a temporary camp for the Angel King's army. It has accumulated a lot of supplies and it is impossible to give up. The snails have a very big appetite and a very low IQ. They will not leave until they eat up all the nutrient-rich concrete.
The protagonist orders the spade elephant to send out several teams under his command to attack the snails that are chewing on the outer walls of the ant mound and drive them away.
Soon, groups of warriors of the Divine Envoy King fiercely came out of the nest and attacked the snails nearby. These snails could be used as food after being killed. The protagonist knew the delicacy of snails, field snails and other foods in his previous life.
But the ants' attack did not go smoothly. Although the snails that were besieging the ant mound were all vegetarian, the carnivorous snails were still hunting at the back and did not follow up. But vegetarian snails, like other snails, have strong natural defenses and are not easy to deal with.
The medium-sized black snails, which are as big as mare's milk grapes, are covered with mucus. The ant warriors need to overcome the obstacles of the mucus to bite the black snail's body. If you are not careful, you may be trapped by the mucus. If the pores are blocked, you will easily suffocate to death. Even if the black snail is painful, it will immediately get into the shell. A thick and solid layer of dura mater will immediately block the shell opening, leaving the ants with nothing to do.
Although small pointed snails do not have so much mucus and do not have a hard membrane, they will still get into the shell when attacked. The shell opening is too small for ants to get in at all.
In the end, the warriors of the God Envoy King could only force the snails that besieged the ant mound into their shells, and then work together to move the snails away. With the speed and toughness of the snails, they will definitely come back, but at least for the time being they cannot threaten the safety of the anthill.
Unknowingly, as many as one legion of ant warriors have gone out to participate in an alternative battle to defend the ant nest.
At this time, a sudden change occurred! ! !
As there are more and more ants outside, the carnivorous snails are slowly approaching the ant mound. These carnivorous snails seem to have some sense. They no longer look for other snails, but start to approach the ants one after another.
The ants were busy carrying the vegetarian snails back and forth, and the carnivorous snails were really not fast, a little slower than the vegetarian snails. The ants were not aware of the intentions of these slowly approaching carnivorous snails as big as plums.
Until the first carnivorous snail approached the two ants carrying the small pointed snail, and suddenly shot out a stream of mucus from its flat body at lightning speed that was not commensurate with the slow speed.
The mucus stuck to the two ants and the small snail they were carrying. The snail was still hiding in the shell without moving. The two ant warriors struggled violently, but the mucus was extremely sticky. The two ants could not escape and had to Watching the carnivorous snail slowly approaching.
The colorful carnivorous snail finally came closer, leaving a trace of crystal reflection on the ground behind it, just like the trace left by a snail.
The giant carnivorous snail finally got close to its prey. Its huge gastropods were like a train running over a suicide on the tracks, and quickly wrapped up two struggling ants and a small pointed snail. When the carnivorous snail left the place, there were no traces of ants and small pointed snails on the ground, and even the mucus disappeared - they were swallowed by the carnivorous snail together!
The carnivorous snail continues to move forward, looking for its next prey by following its breath.
Such an attack is silent, and the ants trapped in the mucus cannot even emit a warning breath.
But as the number of attacks increased, the ants outside the nest and the protagonist watching on the ant mound discovered something strange almost at the same time.
The ants became angry and began to attack the carnivorous snails around them that were killing their fellow snails.
But this carnivorous snail is like a glutton. Regardless of it, it still uses its mucus and body to devour the ants.
A colorful carnivorous snail approached an ant trapped in mucus. The other ants reacted and bit the carnivorous snail one after another.
The mucus of the carnivorous snails could not stop the attack of these ants, and the copper jaw knife directly pierced the abdominal legs of the carnivorous snails.
But the carnivorous snail didn't care. Its huge body seemed to have no pain nerves, and it still approached the target firmly.
The ants were unable to stop the snail until their companion was swallowed whole by the snail. Moreover, those warriors who came into contact with the mucus on the surface of the flesh-eating snails all fell down one after another and were swallowed by the flesh-eating snails.
The mucus of these colorful carnivorous snails is poisonous!
