It's dusk again.
Some parasitic flying insects that have developed conditioned reflexes stay on the plants doing nothing, but their senses are already paying close attention to the sky.
Sure enough, as the sunset on the horizon gradually turned into a colorful red, the evening breeze of late spring blew gently, and as the dark night fell, there was a faint sound of flapping wings.
The parasitic flying insects only take off occasionally to look for food during the day, and will even eat their weaker companions at this time. However, during this time, the parasitic flying insects have already landed, and the ones flying over are obviously not their companions.
Some parasitic flying insects took off instinctively, looking for the source of the sound. Just like the previous days, they found nothing until the flying knights of the God's Envoy King's Legion suddenly appeared from behind some vegetation.
All the flying knights turned to low-altitude flight after approaching the battlefield. They used the cover of vegetation to reduce the propagation distance of the sound of flying wings and blocked the enemy's sight. They changed the direction of entering the battlefield every day, so that they could fly at a low altitude every day. Achieve a raid.
The first to appear were the combat flying knights riding bees. These flying knights were fully armed, and their carapace reflected the brilliant light of the sunset. They were like balls of fireballs, rushing towards the few parasitic flying insects in the air in groups.
A fierce and short air battle broke out. In the past few days, the few parasitic flying insects that had lost the unified command of their brains and fought independently were no match for them. They fell one after another amid the interplay of fire bombs and cold light in the sky.
There were obviously thousands of flying insects on the ground and on the vegetation, but they never took off to meet the enemy. After the connection with the brain was temporarily interrupted, these murderous parasites became peaceful and lazy.
The fighting flying knights took the opportunity to control the sky, and then a giant dragonfly appeared from behind the grass.
There are troops responsible for bombing among the giant dragonflies. The ants on the back of the flying mounts drop bombs to the ground through slide rails. These bombs will be pierced through the outer membrane before being thrown. They will start to spontaneously ignite during the fall or after landing, and then suddenly explode. A small sea of fire spreads out, igniting nearby combustible materials, such as those pupae made of fine worm silk.
On other giant dragonflies, some ants jumped off one after another - these were the death squads of the turtle ants in black. Each of them carried incendiary bombs on their backs and used their talents to flexibly adjust their position in the air, heading towards the place where the cocoons were most densely packed. falling.
Air-dropped incendiary bombs are more powerful, but their accuracy is worrisome. When the number of "bombing dragonflies" is insufficient, they cannot blanket coverage and can only burn a few targets.
The self-destruction of the black-clothed turtle ant suicide squad members is like precision guidance. It is small in power, but can always cause a large amount of effective damage in the flammable cocoons.
As in the past, after the cocoon was attacked, part of the brain hidden in the depths became conscious, and instinctively sent out messages, and the parasite beasts were finally alerted.
In an instant, the originally lazy and indifferent parasitic flying insects flapped their wings and stabbed into the sky almost at the same time, looking for their target.
The parasitic ants and parasitic beasts on the ground were also patrolling wildly outdoors. Some ants that were close to the burning cocoons carried sand and gravel, raised dust, and even threw themselves into small fires to extinguish the fire.
After completing the short air attack, the flying knights of the God's Envoy Army once again switched to ultra-low altitude flight and quickly left the battlefield under the cover of vegetation. Most of the parasite beasts did not find their targets, and a few flying insects that came after them did not. The method is to call the companions through the sleeping brain again, and they will soon be killed by the fighting flying knight behind them.

While ordinary cocoons on the ground are in danger, some important cocoons deep underground are not directly threatened.
In these cocoons, sleeping are the most important brains of the millions of parasites: "Parasite Roll", "Parasite Lamboser" and "Parasite Lambori".
Most of the parasitic brains such as "Parasite Ikkyu" and "Parasite Nobita" have not turned into cocoons, but they stay close by and remain motionless as if they are in a deep sleep. They often do not eat or drink for several days in a row, and do not pay attention to the outside world at all. information.
Only when the cocoon is attacked, occasionally one or two parasitic brains wake up, get in touch with the consciousness of the insect beast that is in danger of evolution, issue some instructions that are better than nothing, and soon fall asleep again.
These parasitic brains are working hard to help the three companions in the cocoon evolve.
During the siege of [Black Fire City], the parasitic army swept through the hinterland and eastern border of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom. There were many ant colonies in these two places, and a large number of ants did not gather in [Black Fire City] to resist, but were scattered in Lairs everywhere.
By relying on the infected "internal agents" to hide in these secondary nests and quietly spread mycelium, or to cooperate with the parasitic army inside and outside, it did not take long for the parasitic army to occupy most of the secondary nests that lacked defense awareness, and at the same time purified hundreds of thousands of them. The new companions are mainly ants, but also some insect beasts.
Coupled with the results of some of the troops who purified the indigenous ant tribes in places north of the North and other places, relying on such war to support war, the parasitic army not only replenished the current and previous battle losses during the siege of [Black Fire City], but also The military strength has also been greatly increased.
A large number of newly purified parasitic organisms also gathered in the camp outside [Black Fire City]. The large increase in the number of organisms and the increase in the density of parasitic bacteria brought about an agglomeration effect, and one day they quietly exceeded a certain critical value.
So the parasitic brains suddenly realized that a new evolutionary opportunity had arrived under the influence of the parasitic bacteria. This is a very important physiological matter for parasitic bacteria. For this reason, they did not hesitate to control the host and gave up the [Black Fire City] that they almost obtained.
The parasitic brains quickly chose a relatively safe place, guarded by a large number of parasitic organisms. The three brains including "Parasite Roll" with the highest affinity entered the cocoon with the help of the consciousness of other brains and fell into a pre-evolutionary slumber.
The evolution of the parasitic brain will have a huge impact on the forces of the parasitic bacteria. The three "parasitic roll" brains have already evolved for the second time. If they can all evolve successfully this time, it will be very rare. Even in the Swamp Holy Land, there is only one triple-evolved brain.
At the same time, above and below the ground, without the constraints of the parasitic brain, most parasitic organisms have also fallen into a semi-dormant state, and will only act instinctively when they have the most basic physiological needs of eating, drinking, and urinating.
Some parasitic ants or insect beasts have also begun to form cocoons. These cocoons are different from the evolutionary cocoons of the brains. Instead, some of the parasitic organisms that were originally immature are completing their development. Due to the right opportunity, these insect beasts will be better than ordinary ones after breaking out of the cocoons. The more powerful the parasite is, the more closely connected it will be to the parasitic brain.
Even during the cocooning period, many creatures in the cocoon have begun to share consciousness with the brain, and will awaken the uncocooned parasitic brain when attacked.
