Chapter 831 The nest? 4000(2/2)
If so, it's probably no coincidence that these floating corpses always gather here.
Rather, it is sent here consciously like ants carrying food back to their nest...
Thinking of this, Wu's conscience immediately became more uneasy. Could this be the nest of those insects?
If these insects have group consciousness, then there must be a strict hierarchy in the population. At the top of this hierarchy is the supreme king, just like the queen in an ant colony.
Having made such a conjecture in his mind, Wu Liang immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone listens to the order and immediately paddles at full speed to get out of this floating corpse formation and board the island as soon as possible. I will use water-bending skills to cooperate with you!"
He knows better than anyone what it means to approach or intrude into the territory of such a group-conscious creature?
Unlike humans with independent thoughts, such creatures only have one brain no matter how many there are, and all members only serve this one brain.
In order to defend their territory, surround their king, and surround their offspring, such creatures will definitely mobilize to resist foreign enemies. No individual will ever think of retreating. Either the invading enemy will be eliminated, or the entire group will be destroyed together.
.
And among such ethnic groups, there are usually different divisions of labor.
For example, in an ant colony, there are worker ants who specialize in hard work, soldier ants who are good at fighting, male ants who sacrifice themselves for the reproduction of the colony, and queen ants who are responsible for reproduction and have priority in enjoying all the resources of the ant colony.
The same is true for these suspected "bone-eating worms".
Then the bugs that pulled the big dog into the water before should be "worker ants" that go out to look for food, while the "soldier ants" that are good at fighting only move around the nest and are responsible for the safety of the nest.
Usually the size and combat power of "soldier ants" are much higher than that of "worker ants". If "worker ants" can easily drag a large living person into the water, then "soldier ants" will definitely be more terrifying!
"promise!"
After hearing this, everyone in the Hu army immediately took action.
Wu Liang couldn't care about so much at the moment, and immediately turned on the "Water Control Technique" with full firepower. While making bigger waves in the water in front, he tried to break up the floating corpse array blocking the front, and at the same time, he also set off waves to push behind.
The boat moved faster.
He only has one idea now.
Even if you can't use the "Water Control Technique" to push away the floating corpse array in front of you, you still have to rush out even if you hit it with a boat. Isn't it a good thing to stay here for a long time?
"Wow——"
The approaching river had already started to roll under Wu Liang's control, and the suddenly rising water column finally forced several floating corpses away, causing a flaw in the floating corpse formation that originally operated regularly like a machine.
The boat also rushed over quickly with the help of Wu Liang and the hard work of everyone.
At the same time, Yang Wanli led several soldiers to stand on the bow of the boat, using long poles prepared in advance to peel away the floating corpses blocking the front of the boat.
Just at this time.
"Wow!"
The sound of water breaking suddenly came from behind.
The boat suddenly stopped as if being pulled by something, causing everyone's bodies to unconsciously fall forward under the influence of huge inertia.
"Alas!"
Yang Wanli and others who were standing on the bow of the boat staggered even more, and fell into the water with a sway.
"Plop!"
Two soldiers of the Hu army fell into the water, but Yang Wanli, with his quick eyesight and quick hands, managed to escape by grabbing the boat gang.
"Yang Wanli, rescue the person from the water immediately!"
Wu Liang had just stabilized his body and immediately shouted an order while subconsciously looking back towards the stern of the ship.
I saw that the log at the stern that was originally tied to stabilize the ship had been caught by two dark red bugs. The bugs were much larger than those seen on the floating corpse before, and they were as big as an adult man.
Arm thickness!
at the same time.
There are three other insects of the same thickness that have emerged from the water and are now twisting and clinging to the boat.
"Whoosh!"
Chapter completed!
