In the evening, the dim light reflects gold on the Qinghe River, the river wind blows warmly, the ripples are first wrinkled, and the blue waves are rippling. It is really beautiful.
However, a fight that has nothing to do with the beautiful natural scenery, and even conflicts with the beautiful scenery and stains the clear stream, is unfolding here and now.
The moon rises into the sky relatively early today and hangs with the sun in the east and west sky at dusk. The remaining sunlight and bright moonlight are enough to illuminate many movements in this world without light pollution.
As the sun in the sky finally disappeared, the remaining glow quickly attenuated, and the darkening night in the east quickly pulled up the sky, covering three-quarters of the night sky, leaving only a touch of dusk in the west, and the surrounding dusk. The pale and gray color occupies another quarter of the world.
In the midst of such gloom, a sound that had nothing to do with the cracking of tiny waves came from the river breeze.
"buzz buzz"
"buzz buzz"
This is the sound of high-intensity flapping wings. What kind of insect is it soaring on the river at night, against the river wind?
It's a swarm of huge locusts!
The yellow-black body color allows these giant locusts to have excellent concealment in the night. A pair of horrifyingly large compound eyes can collect the dim light at night, making the giant locusts have excellent night vision. The powerful wings are fearless even when flying against the wind!
These huge locusts, which are powerful aerial war beasts during the day and night, are repeatedly searching the river surface under the control of the thief ant drivers.
Soon, the search team composed of 6 giant locusts made a discovery - a parasitic snail was lying on a small piece of broken bark in the middle of the river under the cover of the river waves.
The shredded bark under the snail's body floated like a boat, and countless mycelium stretched out from the snail's body, paddling the water like a row of oars. A boat with countless oarsmen, one snail at a time, was slowly approaching the east bank of Qinghe River.
The mission of these giant locust war beasts is to prevent these parasitic creatures from smuggling into the country. So they immediately arranged themselves into a single column under the control of well-trained thief ants, and then conducted dive attacks in turns at large intervals.
The first giant locust quickly approached the parasitic snail. This parasitic snail seemed to be insensitive to sound. Even though the flying sound of the giant locust could be heard at a long distance, and it was even more deafening at a close distance, it still showed no reaction. Continue to glide forward unhurriedly.
It wasn't until the giant locust reached its head that the parasitic snail seemed to suddenly notice that all the hyphae retracted into its body in milliseconds, and the parasitic snail's soft body also retracted into its shell at the same time.
The giant locust's swooping blow lost its target instantly. It could only draw an arc according to the original plan, and then rise higher, otherwise it would plunge into the water.
However, when the giant locust turned, it did not do nothing. Instead, it took the opportunity to kick the snail shell with its powerful, serrated hind legs.
This snail shell full of holes is not as strong as an ordinary snail shell. With one blow, there are already faintly visible radial cracks, which spread in a small area from the hit part.
At the same time, the first giant locust also took advantage of the power of kicking its legs to quickly increase its speed, maintaining flight stability despite the strong river wind.
The second giant locust was also swooping in and approaching. Seeing that it could not hit the snail body, it was also under the control of the driver, preparing to kick out the snail's shell that was in the way.
At this time, I saw a water column suddenly spurting out from the water, and it sprayed quickly towards the swooping giant locust!
Under the water at night, near the parasitic snails, there are a few blurry shadows. They are the parasitic dragon lice and field turtles hidden under the water. Just now, the parasitic dragon louse launched a counterattack in the air.
The distance was too close, the incident happened in a hurry, the giant locust's high-speed dive and the sudden attack of the water column combined to give the giant locust war beast almost no time to react.
But under the dual effects of the fast control of a well-trained driver and the instinct of the giant locust. At the last moment, the giant locust instinctively moved up some of its body, narrowly avoiding the water column and hitting its torso directly.
The water column only hit the left wing of the giant locust. The strong membrane wings quickly bounced away the water flow in high-speed vibration, scattering it into crystal water droplets, leaving the wings unscathed.
However, the huge impact force forced the giant locust to roll to the right. Fortunately, it quickly controlled its flight posture and regained its balance after turning in a circle.
However, during the sudden rotation, a few thief ants on the giant locust's back did not have time to fix their bodies and fell down, and were quickly swallowed by a few parasitic field turtles that emerged from the water, including the ants and the water.
The second giant locust was no longer able to carry out its mission as originally planned, and could only spread its wings to escape high into the sky. It had lost its dive speed, and even if it reluctantly continued to attack, it would not have much power. Moreover, the water jets were still shooting at it, and the giant locust could only dodge and dodge until it left the dangerous area!
At this time, the third giant locust had flown down.
This giant locust is different from the others. It has a metallic reflection on its body, which is the luster of the armor weapons provided by the Divine Envoy King's Legion!
This giant locust is the mount of the leader of the thief ant clan - "Crazy" Ben Ant!
There are not many parasitic locusts under the water. Just now, three water jets were attacking the second giant locust, and only one was hit.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the third giant locust dived at high speed, and another water column attacked it. The prepared giant locust, under the control of the driver, deftly turned sideways to avoid the water column and counterattacked, and then relied on the potential energy of gravity to counterattack. , and continuously improve the speed.
At this time, the parasitic dragon louse had no time to spray water jets to block it. The third giant locust turned a sharp turn at a very large angle at high speed. At the same time, its hind legs equipped with iron serrated weapons quickly kicked back and kicked the snail shell.
The hit snail shell immediately fell apart, revealing the hollow and soft flesh underneath! With the added strength of the locust's muscular legs and iron tools, the snail shell shattered!
The parasitic snail's defense was broken with one blow, and the fourth giant locust followed closely behind, ready to attack the body inside!
But at the same time, danger suddenly emerged. From the cracked snail shell and the dense holes around it, dozens of parasitic hyphae suddenly ejected, and several of them hung on the flying snail, which was slowing down. On three giant locusts!
These parasitic hyphae immediately twisted like snakes towards the head of the giant locust and the ants on its back!
If ordinary ant warriors are wary, they will not be afraid of these small and weak parasitic hyphae. However, the thief ants are too small. When faced with these approaching parasitic hyphae, in terms of body size, they are just like the big-headed ants facing centipedes. The danger is not small!
