The sniper starts from the bright sword escape period

Chapter 642 The group battle between sand scorpions and sand ants
It was also because they were worried that the group of sand scorpions would catch up and quietly surround the tracked transport vehicle of the joint caravan at night, followed by another wave of scorpion tail needles.

Bailixiu had no choice but to stop at the joint caravan's convoy and then explored the way over.

Although the joint caravan had traveled [-] kilometers during the day, these [-] kilometers only took more than ten minutes for Baili Xiu, the owner of the Thunder Fruit.

And this also includes stopping to confirm the direction.

After all, the joint caravan was not walking in a straight line. You must know that there are mountains, or sand dunes, in this desert.

It is very unwise to let a hundred-ton crawler transport vehicle climb a mountain, so unless it is a relatively gentle small sand dune, if it is relatively high, it is always chosen to take a detour.

But when Bailixiu rushed back, she discovered something incredible.

That is, the group of demonized sand scorpions that caught up early yesterday morning were actually engaged in a group battle with a group of demonized sand ants.

Of course, this group of demonized sand ants is very different from the sand ants Bailixiu saw before traveling through time.

You must know that the most famous desert before Bailixiu crossed was the Sahara Desert.

It is dry and hot all year round, and the temperature often soars to [-] or [-] degrees. In this harsh environment, there lives the strongest type of ant in the world, the desert silver ant.

Most ants cannot tolerate hot weather. In summer, high temperature is an important reason for killing ants.Although desert silver ants cannot be exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time, they can tolerate hotter conditions better than most insects.

This is because there is a special protein in the body of desert silver ants that can still remain active when the body temperature of desert ants is as high as [-] degrees Celsius.However, because the temperature in the Sahara Desert is too high, they still need to complete their activities outside the nest as quickly as possible and return to the ant nest as soon as possible.Therefore, desert ants have evolved a skill to return to their nests by identifying the position of the sun as a marker.

Desert silver ants come out of their nests mainly to find food. They feed on animals that have been sunburned to death in the desert, so they often go out in the face of high temperatures.At the entrance of the cave, desert silver ants will watch the sun carefully, determine its position, and then run quickly. There is no way around it. The desert becomes very hot due to the continuous irradiation of the sun. Running quickly can reduce the time each foot touches the ground. .

Some human tribes have the custom of dancing in the fire, which is also based on this principle.Jump quickly to avoid burns from charcoal fire.

Every time it changes direction, the desert silver ant will move its head and pay attention to the position of the sun to confirm the change in the sun's position so that it does not get lost.

Because the temperature in the desert is too high, desert silver ants can only stay outside for 10 minutes. After this time, they will be sunburned to death, so they must quickly transport their prey back to the hole after finding it.With the sun as a reference, they can choose the shortest route when returning to their nest.Therefore, the smell left by desert silver ants on the road is actually of no use.

For desert silver ants, the most terrifying thing is the wind in the desert.As long as the wind and sand blow together, their caves will soon be covered.The desert silver ants that returned home could only use great efforts to open the entrance of the hole.Often this waste of time is fatal, and they will die from the sun because they are left outside for too long.

Of course, the reason why desert ants are called desert silver ants is because their bodies look silver.And this kind of silver can naturally also play a very good role in protecting against sun and high temperatures, because this kind of silver can reflect most of the sun's rays.

In addition to its silver body, the Desert Silver Ant also has the nickname The Flash because it is the fastest ant among all types of ants.

You know, there are many types of ants, but limited by their body size, most types of ants are small insects, so they do not crawl very fast. The fastest crawling ant in the world, the desert silver ant, is only one meter long. It's a little more than a centimeter, but it can run at a terrifying speed of one hundred centimeters per second.

Compared with ordinary ants in the forest, this speed is very fast, because the speed of ordinary forest ants is only twenty or thirty centimeters per second, so the speed of this desert silver ant is three to four times that of ordinary ants. Speed ​​up.

As for why desert silver ants run faster than other ants?This is because desert silver ants live in the Sahara Desert. This desert is full of hot weather. Sometimes the surface temperature of the desert even exceeds [-] degrees. Therefore, in order to avoid heatstroke or being baked by the desert sand, they must crawl quickly, and the ant feet The less you touch the desert, the better. To cope with such high temperatures, desert silver ants have evolved.

And because this kind of ant is only found in the Sahara Desert, it is also called the Saharan silver ant.

Saharan silver ants are very heat-resistant and are one of the most heat-resistant insects known, and they like to go out to look for prey at the hottest time at noon. This is because at high temperatures, many insects are prone to heatstroke and find food easily. The second is to avoid the natural enemies of ants and avoid being hunted.

Able to survive in the Sahara Desert where the surface temperature exceeds 7 degrees, Saharan silver ants have evolved a variety of skills: Silver ants have silver hair to reflect the sun's rays, and each ant's feet touch the ground for less than [-] milliseconds. , the faster you run, the longer you stay in the air, and the better you can avoid high temperature damage.

Saharan silver ants are the fastest ants in the world and one of the most heat-resistant insects. However, the climate conditions in the Sahara Desert are very harsh and it is one of the most unsuitable places on earth for biological survival. Saharan silver ants cannot grow. There is usually only about 10 minutes to search for food outside the desert. If you exceed this time and do not return to the ant hole in time to escape, you will suffer from heatstroke or be roasted by the ground. Therefore, the high temperature environment has trained the super speed of this ant!

However, although there is no Sahara Desert in the King's Continent, this desert in the clouds is also a place similar to the Sahara Desert, and its temperature is also ridiculously high.

And because of the presence of demonic energy, the ants in the desert were also affected, and their size increased almost twenty times compared to the Saharan silver ants.

The size of each of the demonized sand ants that Bailixiu saw was over [-] centimeters, almost the same as an ordinary cat. Of course, although the size was similar to that of a cat, its speed was also similar to that of a cat.

Because after increasing in size, the speed of the sand ants has not weakened, but has increased. Many of these sand ants quickly turned into silver phantoms when they saw the movement of the group of sand ants.

It is estimated that its speed is about 20 meters per second, which is the speed of ordinary cats.

Of course, if its size were enlarged ten times to be about the same size as a human being, then its speed would be a terrifying 200 meters per second based on its body length ratio.

But after Bailixiu took a look at the battlefield where the two fought, Bailixiu understood why they fought so fiercely.
