Chapter 34 The Flesh-Cut Army
The death of these skeletal dragons was probably a few days and nights ago, but the flesh on their bodies was picked very clean, and even the smell was almost eliminated. .
Obviously, a large number of skeletal dragons died in this place in the first few days and nights, but why? What brought them here? And what killed them?
In this continent of dinosaurs, among the creatures Lin knew, there was only one creature that could kill all these skeletal dragons and eat the meat so well.
'Tap, tap, tap...' When Lin thought of this, there were bursts of small voices in the pile of skeletons, and countless black spots emerged from the pile of bones.
It's a meat-cutter ant! Sure enough, only this tiny division of labor species can do this kind of thing!
Lin didn't observe much about this kind of creature, but this kind of small creature obviously also has the characteristics of a large-scale division of labor. Among the densely packed swarms, most of them have no eyes, but there is also a kind of jaw that is obviously smaller. Small but with big eyes.
This unit is responsible for finding prey, and they locked their eyesight on Tucker in an instant...then the entire ant colony launched a siege to him!
"Gah!" Tucker yelled in panic. Usually, he is not afraid of these meat-cutter ants because they are small and slow, but now he is in a pit with a width of only ten meters, and he just stands in the middle. The fossil wall around the pit is still ten meters high.
Countless meat-cutter ants surrounded Tucker in a circle, and some of them climbed onto its feet and began to bite its scales with their jaws. Tucker beat them desperately, but there were more ants crawling. up.
Before it is torn apart, Lin must find a way to escape, otherwise Lin's "apprentice" will die...
The pterosaurs are too small to catch Tucker and fly up, but Lin has always been surprised that they fell here from the collapsed ground, but there are already a lot of skeletal dragon bones here. In other words, these skeletal dragons came in from another direction.
Which direction is it? Lin looked around and saw that on the right wall, there were many cracks in the protruding fungus fossils.
Is it there?
Seeing Tucker who was crawled on by a large number of ants, the pterosaur immediately flapped its wings and rushed to that place. With a bang, the pterosaur punched a big hole in the fossilized fungus on the wall! There is a passage behind the hole.
Lin discovered that the fossil wall here had already been knocked open by something, but the creature that knocked open the wall put the fragments back together afterwards. So it looks like there are cracks.
Tucker saw the wall that Lin hit, and immediately stepped on the ant colony and rushed over. Every time it took a step, more meat-cutting ants climbed on it. When it was one meter away from the entrance of the cave, it Suddenly fell into the pile of bones!
I saw a large group of meat-cutter ants biting Tucker's leg scales. And the meat-cutter ants behind them were biting their companions one by one, and the ant colonies in the whole place were tightly connected together, forming a chain of insects to drag Tucker so that he could not move forward, and then more A large number of insects crawled onto Tucker, trying to get into its mouth, respiratory tract, eyes and other places.
Sure enough, the division of labor species is not simple... They may be the most intelligent creatures on this dinosaur continent.
Lin asked the pterosaur to combine a large amount of solution in the body as quickly as possible. Aim at the ant colony that is biting Tucker and shoot out violently.
'呵...'
The ant colony splashed by the solution made a cry, and they all loosened their jaws. At this moment, Tucker kicked the ground hard and rushed into the cave that Lin had knocked out.
Although there are still a large number of meat-cutter ants on it, it can't control that much. Tucker ran wildly in the cave with all his strength, and didn't stop until he could no longer see the cave full of bones and swarms. , and then it began to frantically slap the meat-cutter ants on its body.
Lin caught up and saw Tucker's appearance. It slowly fell to Tucker's side. It was very painful to be bitten by this small creature. They couldn't kill the opponent immediately, but tore them apart bit by bit. It was indeed painful.
Tucker has now slapped off the ant colony on his body and is panting constantly on the ground, but it still looks very painful. Lin found that there was still blood flowing out of Tucker's right ear hole.
Apparently some of them crawled into its ear holes. When dealing with large creatures, meat-cutter ants like to eat from the inside out.
However, Lynn had already thought of this situation. Therefore, some small arms were prepared in the body of the pterosaur, called 'healers', which were originally used for healing, but they could also be used for attack.
The pterosaur stretched its mouth to the position of Tucker's ear hole, and Tucker immediately became quiet when he saw this. Now he knew that Lin would treat him.
A long, worm-like soldier drilled into the ear hole. It is troublesome for reptiles to use this small hole-like organ to hear, and it is easy to be invaded by something. After entering, Lin saw several cut The meat ants were constantly biting the flesh inside the ear hole, and blood flowed out from the wound.
The ear holes of reptiles usually secrete some unpleasant smells to deter small creatures, but it seems useless to the meat-cutter ants. Now they seem to have noticed Lin's 'healer', and the meat-cutter ants immediately charged come over!
The moment they charged, the healer suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed a meat-cutter ant in one gulp, and then used the tooth-like structure in his body to continuously squeeze the meat-cutter ant, crushing it. of crushing.
The space in the ear hole is limited, so the meat-cutter ants can only rush up one by one, and they are devoured by Lin one by one. When the last meat-cutter ant is left, Lin finds that it is the kind with big eyes. It glanced at Lin's healer, and fled deep into Tucker's ear hole.
Still know how to escape? The healer opened his mouth, and shot out a tentacle instantly. The tentacle stuck to the flesh-cutter ant's abdomen and dragged it back, and then the healer opened his mouth again to swallow it.
Finally, it was all resolved. Lin found that the wound in Tucker's ear hole had begun to heal. In this case, there was no need for treatment. Then Lin let the healer back out. Tucker became excited immediately after the injury healed. Get up, but because of the series of things just now, it looks tired, so it doesn't do any dancing or other movements.
What Lin is more surprised is why there are meat-cutter ants here, even if there is meat to eat, there is no fresh water to drink, and such a large number of skeletal dragons will die there.
This cave is really suspicious.
Now, Lynn and Tucker seem to have come to a strange place. Apart from the traces of various fungal fossils, there are also many scattered stones, wooden thorns and other things on the ground.
These are obviously skeletal dragons. It seems that there is indeed another group here, and for some reason, a large number of them were trapped in the place where the meat-cutter ants appeared, or were killed and then thrown away. Go in, and the body is chewed clean.
"Guda!" Tucker looked at these things on the ground, and suddenly it seemed to have discovered something, and walked forward quickly, and Lin followed behind it. After walking in the cave for about a hundred seconds, it walked forward Suddenly a bright light appeared.
This is the sun's rays! At this time, Tucker stopped, and in the open space in front of him, a lake with a diameter of about ten meters appeared. the whole lake...
Tucker didn't run over, but walked slowly to a salt pillar about six meters away from the lake and hid, then he said softly to Lin, "Huh." Meaning that Lin also followed.
Lin walked behind the stones, and like Tucker stretched out her head to look at the lake. Lin found that there were some meat-cutter ants by the lake here, but the number was very small. They formed a circle and seemed to be carrying one after another. Something white and round, which they carried into a cave in the salt wall by the lake.
And there are many such round and white things beside the water, which seem to be a kind of creature, like a ball, they have a diameter of about five centimeters, after these meat-cutter ants leave, Lin walks to the lake While eating one of these creatures.
After decomposing it, Lin immediately understood, so it turned out that this is also the unit of the meat-cutter ants, and it is specially used to produce water. They are placed here to absorb a large amount of salt water, filtered into clean fresh water, and then given to other meat-cutter ants. edible.
This is a fully differentiated species with division of labor, but they don't seem to solve the size problem. If they solve it, there may not be so many dinosaurs here...
"Gah!" Suddenly, Tucker screamed, and Lin turned her head to look, only to see a sharp stone flying towards this side!
The pterosaur immediately tilted its head, the stone did not pierce it, but pierced into the salt wall behind it.
At this time, three figures appeared in the direction where the wooden thorn flew. They were all white and thin.
Looking at their thin bodies, Lin guessed that they had been malnourished for a long time, and she didn't know what they ate here.
The three white skeletal dragons may not have seen normal meat for a long time. They stared closely at the pterosaurs, for fear that Lin would open their wings and fly away in the next second. At the same time, they were also moving slowly, trying to approach quietly.
The White Skeletal Dragon regarded Lin as an ordinary pterosaur, which felt very interesting, but Tucker couldn't bear this, and it jumped out from behind the rock.
Tucker only has one sharp stone, and now he has to face three white skeleton dragons at the same time. Although the white skeleton dragon is malnourished and looks much thinner than Tucker, Tucker may not have a chance of winning...
"Quack quack!"
However, Bai Shoulong yelled a few times after seeing Tucker, and they all turned around and fled in an instant...
Seeing this, Tucker yelled and chased after him, but Lin immediately told him to stop.
Tucker looked at Lin suspiciously, while Lin flew above the lake, looking at the direct sunlight above...
Lin felt that she should be able to go outside from here. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (an) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to an to read.)
