Jumping, catching, jumping, jumping, in less than one breath, Systrom successfully caught a dark brown ant, and then leaped away.
Whether it is speed, strength, or body shape, Systrom has an absolute advantage over ants. As long as it is not a head-on fight between the brain and the ant army, it is easy to catch a single ant. After all, although ants have a certain alertness, they rarely Will run away.
When the ants encounter an abnormal situation, the first thing they think of is not to escape, but to bite you first.
The process of catching ants by Sisterm went smoothly, but the subsequent handling of Sisterm was very rusty.
The four limbs easily caught the smaller ant, but the ant was not without resistance. It directly bit the root of one of Systrom's feet with its chelating teeth.
In fact, even if Sisterm would loosen the legs of the ant, the ant would not fall from Sisterm’s body. It is not so much that Sisterm caught the ant, it is better to say that they took each other The other party caught it.
The exoskeleton shattered slightly, and Systrom's feet felt burning with formic acid.
After turned into an adult, Systrom’s exoskeleton was much stronger, coupled with the derived ability [regeneration of limbs] and [acid resistance], so Systrom’s injury was actually not serious.
waved the huge chelating teeth the same size as the ant's head, and the black-brown ant's corpse separated.
But an ant is an ant, even if only the head is left, its chelating teeth still bite Systrom's forelimbs.
In order to avoid secondary damage to his feet and limbs, Systrom could only use [corrosive mucus] to melt the ant's skull and chelate teeth, and then successfully separated the ant's head from his forelimb.
After chewing the ant's skull like crispy chocolate, Sisterm continued to jump over to the ant fighting with the tadpoles in the mud.
Different from ordinary insect hunters who grab the prey and eat it directly, Systrom's action is more efficient. He wants to kill more ants and then eat them together.
The IQ of the ants is very low and their eyesight is extremely poor. Although Systrom's sudden appearance caused confusion for more than a dozen ants, they did not find any abnormalities and continued to fight with the tadpoles in the mud.
Sisterm did the same and caught the second ant again.
This time more than a dozen ants were obviously more alert than last time. Two ants even chased out half a meter in his direction.
The distance of less than half a meter was just an easy jump for Systrom, and he shook off the ants' chase very easily.
The reason why the ant was chasing for the second time, Systrom quickly figured out that it should be the pungent sour smell remaining on his forelimbs. The ants have poor vision, but their sense of smell is extremely sensitive.
The second ant Sistem was more careful and used his two forelimbs to spread the ant's head far apart. Although his forelimbs were rubbed by the ant's chelating teeth many times, the ant always pointed his cheeks to the west. Sturm's body.
Finally, Systrom bit off the second ant's head unscathed.
Sisterm, who was eating the head of the grasshopper, began to think about how to remove the sourness left by the ants on him.
There is still a lot of stagnant water remaining in the forest. Using this stagnant water will definitely remove some of the sourness from him, but compared to washing with water, Systrom also has a special method, that is his [corrosion Mucus].
Systrom’s [corrosive slime] evolved from [fishy slime], and still retains the fishy smell. Systrom feels that this smell is enough to cover the sourness secreted by ants.
secreted a few drops of corrosive liquid exuding a fishy smell into his wound, and Systrom attacked the dozen or so ants again.
……
As Sisterm had expected, the stenchy liquid he secreted successfully covered the ant sour taste. This time the remaining ants did not chase Sisterm too far.
They just watched and searched for the tadpole's corpse for a while, and then continued to entangle with the dying tadpole in the mud.
Compared with [corrosive slime]'s success in concealing the smell, Systrom hunted the third ant again and appeared flawed. He accidentally broke free by the third ant, and his forelimb was bitten by the ant again.
But starting from the third ant, Systrom's movements gradually became proficient.
Until noon, dozens of ants arrived one after another to dismember the tadpole's corpse and carry it, and Systrom succeeded in hunting down nine ants.
After the third ant, Sistem Tem was never injured again, and he gradually figured out the ant attack routine.
They only attack based on instinct, are very predictable, and will not let go as long as they bite their prey.
Based on the characteristic of ants that bite things and won’t let go, Systrom invented a tactic of hunting ants. When hunting the fifth ant, Systrom’s claws grabbed a grass stick, and After catching the ant, he took the grass stick to the ant's mouth.
The ant biting the grass stick has lost any ability to threaten Sisterm.
The sixth and seventh sistem were hunted in the same way, but by the eighth sistem he did not use the grass stick again, because he was very familiar with these ants, even if he didn’t use the grass stick. He can also easily kill ants.
……
Sisterm moved and gathered the ants' bodies to a small tree branch, and he began to eat.
Sistem Tum can feel that his talent [degeneration and growth] is absorbing certain nutrients from the ant carcass. As long as different kinds of insects are hunted like this, Sistem estimates that he will reach level 10 at the latest , His [Degenerate Growth] will reach the 13th full level.
is not only [degeneration and growth], as it eats the formic acid-secreting glands of ants, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Sistem feels that his [corrosive slime] has become more corrosive, and it is estimated that this ability will advance when he reaches level 9.
Looking at the experience bar on [Self-Information Generation Technique], Systrom estimated that by eating all these ant corpses, his experience bar could reach a quarter.
These nine ants plus the previous cricket provide the same nutrition as a chrysalis.
Count it down carefully, fifteen ants can be worth one egg.
I have to say, if Sisterm is not eager to upgrade the level of [Degeneration and Growth], he is undoubtedly the best choice to guard those chrysalis.
Sistem chewed on the ant’s corpse and began to think about the next plan. He can continue to hunt some of these ants, but if he eats too much, his [degeneration and growth] utility will decrease, and he must Go eat more kinds of creatures.
For these ants, Systrom thought of many plans, such as driving tigers and wolves.
Use a wooden stick to collect the acidic liquid of the ant, and then use the acid to attract the ant colony to attack enemies that he can't deal with-such as spiders.
However, it is very difficult to do this. Let alone spiders whose nests are generally high, it is difficult for the ant colony to launch a general attack. Even if he drops the spider on the ground, the spider will not necessarily be killed by the ant.
Not every ant is a marching ant that can dispatch millions of troops at any time.
If you put hundreds of ants and spiders in a bottle, the spiders will be mutilated by the ants and die, but if the ants and spiders are put in the wild, the spider ran away early when they saw something wrong.
……
About two hours before the sun set, Sisterm ate all the remaining ants.
Sistem, who continued on his journey, encountered a large number of ants again...
