The sniper starts from the bright sword escape period

Chapter 643 The number is terrifying

If it were placed in the world before Bailixiu traveled through, it would be hard to imagine that sand scorpions and sand ants would actually have a group war.

But nothing is impossible in this continent of kings.

Although at the beginning of the battle, the demonized sand scorpion had the advantage. For example, the sand scorpion could easily grab a demonized sand ant with its pliers, and then its tail needle stung a sand ant. Quack.

However, as the saying goes, a good tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves. As the battle progressed, a large wave of reinforcements actually appeared on the sand ants' side.

Immediately, the sand scorpions no longer have the numerical advantage. This does not increase with the increase in number. Although sand ants are smaller than sand scorpions, there are advantages to being small!

That is to say, they are very flexible. Not only did these two attract the attention of the sand scorpions from the front, but then several more sneaked up on them from behind.

The pair of large pincers on the mouth of the Demonized Sand Scorpion were also very sharp, and they easily tore off the tail of the Demonized Sand Scorpion.

Without its tail, the sand scorpion is at a loss when facing sand ants, because only the sharp spines of the scorpion's tail can pierce the sand ant's shell.

The sand scorpion's pincers are not as sharp and tough as expected. It is quite difficult to cut the sand ant in half with just one pincer.

As time went by, after the Demonic Sand Scorpion's disadvantage became more and more obvious, it suddenly turned around and ran away. This made Baili Xiu somewhat different.

However, the sand scorpions here seemed to have no intention of pursuing them, and instead began to carry the corpses, because for creatures living in the desert, the purpose of all battles is to survive.

After the sand scorpions retreat, the sand ants will naturally not waste their energy chasing them. Of course, they may not be able to catch up with them. After all, they can run at a speed of [-] to [-] kilometers per hour!Moreover, the group of demonized sand ants themselves did not suffer losses in the battle with the demonized sand scorpions. There were also many corpses that died due to the battle.

After carrying the corpses of the demonized sand scorpions and their own kind, the group of demonized sand ants began to divide the victory of their battle, which was the demon giant with a body length of more than 40 meters that Baili Xiu had killed before. Lizard.

Yes, the cause of this battle was ultimately caused by Baili Xiusuo. After all, the corpse of a demon species, a desert monitor lizard with a body length of more than 40 meters, was a threat to both the demonized sand ant and the demonized sand scorpion. An extremely precious and rare ingredient.

Bailixiu naturally discovered the nest of these demonized desert silver ants when Bailixiu watched the group of demonized desert silver ants decompose the food and drag it back to the hole.

Bailixiu looked at the desert silver ant's nest and sighed in her heart. The desert silver ant's nest couldn't be seen, but it could actually pull out an army of [-] silver ants. You know, an ordinary nest The number of ants is only between [-] and [-].

Of course, as for how Bailixiu calculated the number of silver ants that had just fought with the sand scorpion, it was naturally an estimation method. Bailixiu first calculated how many silver ants there were in one square meter, and then calculated how many silver ants occupied it. The square meter area naturally determines how many silver ants there are. Although the distance and number may not be very accurate, the approximate number can still be estimated.

Before crossing over, Baili Xiu, whose number was comparable to that of the Demonized Desert Silver Ants, could only be matched by the number of red fire ants.

The population structure of fire ants can be polygynous, with multiple queens, or monohermaphrodite, with only one queen.A monogynous colony may consist of one queen or a group of queens, in which case only one dominant monogynous colony will eventually emerge.Red fire worker ants can live for up to 180 days, and their queens can live for two to six years.It takes about 30 days for an egg to transition into an adult ant.

Mature fire ant populations are very large, usually ranging from 25 to 25 individuals per nest, and some populations may even exceed [-] individuals.

Fire ants are omnivores like humans and like to eat a variety of foods, such as arthropods, dead mammals, and seeds, as well as many sweet substances, including honey produced by hemipterans. dew.

Worker ants typically forage during the warmer, hotter days of the day. Workers are also responsible for feeding the larvae, and pheromones and various chemicals are used as a means of communication for defense, foraging, and recruitment.

Of course, fire ants were still considered an invasive species in the world before Baili Xiu traveled through!
Because fire ants sting people with the sharp stings on their tails like bees and scorpions, the areas stung by fire ants will become wrinkled and raised, eventually turning into white pustules.Since the spikes also contain toxins, the stung victim may feel headache, nausea or suffocation. If accidentally stung by red fire ants, they should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

If the stung person has an allergic reaction to the toxins of red ants, the human body will suffer more serious harm.

Someone once described the feeling of being stung by red fire ants as "as painful as the skin being burned by a lit match." Therefore, when we encounter red fire ants, it is best not to go up and provoke them, but to avoid them.

If you enter the territory of red imported fire ants rashly, it will anger the red imported fire ants and become the target of fire ants attack.

If you are accidentally attacked by red fire ants, you should first do local treatment: clean the wound with soapy water as soon as possible. If possible, apply ice to the sting site and seek medical treatment in time.If blisters and pustules appear, they should be handled carefully not to break them. If the ulcers break, iodophor can be used to disinfect the wound.

It is precisely because fire ants are so aggressive that they are classified as an invasive species, and every year they try to eliminate them.

But here, Bailixiu doesn't need to think about how to eliminate the desert silver ants no matter how many there are. After all, the scope of the Yunzhong Desert is much larger than imagined.

Moreover, the desert silver ant's activity range is also near its nest, up to a hundred kilometers away. Within such a range, the crawler transport vehicle of the joint caravan can pass through in just two hours.

Of course, Bailixiu has no way to deal with these desert silver ants that go deep underground. After all, the conductivity of sand is very low.

And it's not just Bailixiu's abilities that are not suitable for dealing with these desert silver ants that have gone deep underground, Zhong Wuyan, Xiao Qiao, Ah Ke, and Yao are also the same. Their abilities are not suitable.

Of course, the existence of this group of desert silver ants also has benefits. For example, they successfully blocked the pursuit of sand scorpions. After all, as long as the convoy moves forward, it is inevitable that it will not encounter desert monitor lizards lurking in the sand, and the corpses of these desert monitor lizards It will definitely attract the group of sand scorpions to continue their pursuit, but the existence of desert silver ants will naturally block the sand scorpions' continued pursuit.

After Bailixiu returned to the caravan again, the sky was almost darkening and the sun in the sky was already setting.

Yes, this cloud desert is similar to all deserts. The sun shines for a long time during the day, and the sun has not set even after more than ten hours of driving.
