The dense and noisy flapping of wings rang through the air again, and "Doctor" instinctively ducked under the wide leaves of a plantain to avoid the search of the trackers' tentacles and compound eyes from the sky.
After a while, the "Doctor"'s tentacles detected the movement of the giant locust in the air. He was hiding in the narrow gap between the plantain blades and the ground, and then he looked disgraced with the ant eggs in his mouth. Come out and continue to escape forward - that is the position of the sun at noon.
This was already the second day of being chased. He had gone through many hardships along the way. Yesterday, he was even chased by his pursuers twice.
Once, he rolled down a steep slope holding the eggs of a female ant, and then ran away from his pursuers, but he also suffered many small wounds all over his body.
Another time, he was discovered by a bullet ant warrior from his home country who originally followed him. I wonder if he had lost his way and was acting alone.
She took advantage of the opportunity that the other party was still in a confused state because of her own aura, but the order she received was to subdue her, and she was not very smart.
"Doctor" put the ant eggs aside and lowered his body, pretending to be submissive, but in fact he was gathering momentum. Then, for the first time in his life, he rushed forward so bravely, taking advantage of the opportunity when the other party's guard was lowered, to suddenly rush up to her back and quickly cut off the other party's neck with his large jaws.
At this moment, the "doctor" realized that his jaws were so powerful and sharp, enough to kill the strongest worker ants, and naturally they could also kill the female ants! He is no weaker than others of his kind!
"Doctor" once again thanked the Jaw God for the weapons he inherited, and then continued on the road to escape, struggling to survive.
Last night, he climbed up an osmanthus tree with the female ant eggs, and stayed up all night hiding behind the leeward leaves amid the fragrant fragrance of the flowers.
Before nightfall, giant locusts flew nearby several times, and ants were also chasing them on the ground. Fortunately, the aggressive fragrance of osmanthus covered the "Doctor's" own body odor very well, so that the pursuer lost his senses in this area and never climbed up the tree to check.
After the moon came out, the pursuers disappeared. "Doctor" doesn't dare to act alone in the wild at night. He still has his own ant eggs to protect!
Enduring the strong floral scent at close range, "Doctor" was temporarily safe. However, as the night passed, he found that the ant eggs were in even worse condition!
Although I moistened the ant eggs with saliva last night, I hid the ant eggs in my abdomen to avoid the night wind as much as possible. However, what ant eggs need most is stable temperature and humidity in the nursery. The huge changes in the day and night environment in the wild will cause ant eggs to stop developing or even... die.
"Doctor" took two sips of dew to replenish some water early in the morning before the sun rose, and then continued to patiently smear the surface of the ant eggs with saliva - he had seen fierce ant slaves take care of the ant eggs like this.
Looking at the ant eggs, the small black dot trembled slightly, showing its tenacious tenacity. At this moment, "Doctor"'s heart was filled with tenderness, and he once again strengthened his confidence in escaping!
The sun rose, warming the already stiff "Doctor"'s body, and returning the temperature of the ant eggs to a safe range.
"Doctor" endured the scent of osmanthus that he didn't like, and spent two hours searching for nectar and pollen missed by bees among the dense florets to fill his stomach.
When he continued on the road to escape, there were still sounds from the pursuer in the air and on the ground - the other party had not given up yet.
Fortunately, this morning he was eating among the sweet-scented osmanthus bushes, so that his whole body was covered with the fragrance of the flowers, which covered his body odor in a short time, which made the trackers on the ground even more dizzy.
Unfortunately, the land on this section of the road today is poorer and the vegetation is sparse. So the "Doctor" was finally discovered by his pursuers on the giant locust in the sky.
On the back of this giant locust acting alone is a "female" bullet ant, one of the local intruders.
After she discovered "Doctor", she pursued him. Six legs on the ground could not be faster than a pair of wings in the air. The female ant suddenly controlled the giant locust to land, and jumped in front of the "Doctor" with its claws and teeth.
Yesterday, facing ordinary bullet ant warriors, "Doctor" dared to attack them. However, the female ant in front of her now is so strong and has such a powerful aura that the "Doctor" is completely afraid to have a head-on conflict. And the other party obviously can't be fooled by the smell of the same race.
Even if the "Doctor" straightened his tentacles angrily - if the other party hadn't suddenly broken in, he and his descendant ant eggs wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
However, he still clearly realized that the female ant, which had opened its jaws, bent its abdomen and exposed its stinging needle, was not something he could defeat!
The other party was approaching with hostility and arrogance, feeling that "Doctor" was already at his wits' end. The "Doctor" did indeed put down the ant eggs, and fell to the ground, lying on his back in a submissive manner.
Even so, this female ant is not going to show mercy. She hates this male ant with a birthmark, and he is also involved in a conspiracy to murder the female ant. Even if the female ant is also a different species, this is not allowed. !
How abominable! What a lowly and despicable male ant!
The female ant will open its large jaws close to the "Doctor's" neck, preparing to cut off his head, and then take the head and ant eggs back, ending this long "hunting" operation, or "hunting" operation!
Just when the mandible was very close to the "doctor", he saw that in a second or two, the "doctor" would be dead and dismembered!
It was too late, but soon enough, I saw "Doctor" raise his limbs, and a puff of dust rose up from under him, and a sweet fishy smell penetrated into the female ant's antennae and at the same time into her spiracles.
The female ant was furious, but a feeling of powerlessness quickly spread throughout her body. In the compound eyes of the paralyzed female ant, she saw the "Doctor" avoiding the coverage of her poison, staggering and being affected to a certain extent, and stubbornly trying to ride away the giant locust mount!
However, the "Doctor" could not control the giant locust, and soon there were ground pursuers led by the giant locust that had just landed.
The "Doctor" could only continue to stagger away and escape on foot. He did not bother to kill the poisoned female ant and could only let her be rescued.
Running aimlessly, exhausted and hungry, "Doctor" didn't know where he was going to escape and how long he could escape.
The maggot-like pursuers just fell behind them, and they already knew how to hunt them down through the scent of osmanthus! If "Doctor" hadn't held on to his last bit of strength and used various obstacles, he would have been overtaken and killed.
Until late in the evening, when the color of the sky darkened, "Doctor" felt that his mental and physical strength had reached the extreme.
At this moment, he emerged from a patch of grass and was suddenly shocked!
In front of him was a narrow and straight channel. On the flat road on the shore, a large group of smaller, yellowish ants and other insects gathered here.
At this time, they all turned their heads and looked at their uninvited guest!
