Chapter 1487 Scorpion-Tailed Monster

"Why did you stop?"

The honeydew ants carrying the white flesh bugs did not keep crawling forward. After advancing for a certain distance, they stopped. This made Feng Yun who was following them feel a little puzzled.

But when he saw the next scene, he understood why. They were waiting for their companions.

Less than a minute after the honeydew ants carrying the meat worms stopped, Feng Yun saw a group of honeydew ants of similar size appearing.

His eyes were immediately drawn to them as soon as they appeared, and finally rested on their backs.

He discovered that they were actually the same as the honeydew ants he was tracking. They also carried things on their backs, but they were not meat ants, but honey sacs.

After the two groups of honeydew ants met, they entered a passage together. Feng Yun immediately followed them and made guesses about where they were going.

"It should be to feed the young ants."

The last time Fengyun entered the ant nest, he only saw ant eggs and not larvae. However, in such a large ant colony, larvae must exist, and they should be an important part of it, even related to the development of the entire ant colony. of life and death.

In order for them to thrive, it is understandable that honeydew ants go to great lengths to raise meat bugs and collect honeydew.

"That must be the case."

Feng Yun thought he had grasped the truth, but soon after, he discovered that he was wrong, and very wrong.

After the honeydew ants transporting meat worms and honey sacs started to walk together, they kept crawling forward without any sign of stopping for a long time. This made Feng Yun gradually feel that something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, the ant colony will usually place the young ants close to the food, but now it is a little too far.

However, Feng Yun still decided to follow.

This time he entered the ant nest again. Although his goal was to find honey crystals, to be honest, he didn't have much confidence.

If you give up tracking these honeydew ants and search for them in the ant nest, you may not be able to get what you want. It is better to continue tracking, maybe you will get unexpected gains.

Counting silently in his mind, after walking for about ten minutes, Feng Yun found that the passage ahead suddenly opened up, and both the height and width suddenly increased several times.

Almost at the moment the passage changed, Feng Yun keenly felt the changes in the honeydew ants. Not only did they slow down, but they also seemed a little timid, as if there was something in the passage that scared them.

"uh-huh."

Feng Yun suddenly became interested, and he focused his gaze to look into the much wider passage. With his eyesight, even without a trace of light, he could still see very far and clearly.

This was a result that did not satisfy him.

Although the passage has become wider, it is not straight. It extends about fifty feet forward, and there is a corner, and the situation after the turn cannot be seen at all.

In the distance before turning the corner, Fengyun didn't see anything worth being afraid of. It could even be said to be empty.

However, Fengyun was not without any gains.

He found some traces on the ground. They were not deep, but looked a little special. They were wavy, but not very coherent.

"It should be left by some kind of reptile."

As soon as Feng Yun saw those wavy marks, he made an inference and simulated in his mind the appearance of the animal that left these marks.

"It should look a bit like a snake."

This is the conclusion given by Feng Yun, and the reason why he would give such a conclusion is not that he imagined it out of thin air, but that he happened to see similar traces.

That was before he traveled through time, he once watched a documentary about snakes, in which there were traces left by snakes crawling on the sand, which were somewhat similar to the traces he saw this time.

He continued to move forward with the honeydew ants. When he entered the open passage, he faintly smelled a fishy smell, which made him more confident in his judgment.

Not long after, the honeydew ants crossed the corner of the passage.

Then Fengyun also turned around and found that it was still a passage, but this time the distance that could be seen was much longer, hundreds of feet.

But still did not reach the destination.

After going around like this several times, Feng Yun conservatively estimated that he had walked 1,500 feet on the open passage, which was close to ten miles.

If it weren't for the fact that the honeydew ants were crawling so fast, Feng Yun might not have been able to follow them because of the time issue.

Even so, Feng Yun was still becoming more and more impatient, and just when he felt that his patience was about to run out, the situation finally changed.

He heard a friction sound, which came from deep in the passage, or more accurately from a corner not far from the passage.

The being that made the sound moved very fast. When Fengyun first heard the sound, it should have been far away from him, but in just the blink of an eye, it was already quite close to him.

The next moment, it came to the corner of the passage.

Feng Yun subconsciously opened his eyes and looked over.

It did not disappoint him. Almost the moment he opened his eyes, it broke into his field of vision and found that its appearance was somewhat similar to the one he simulated.

It looks almost exactly like a snake. The only difference is that it is not a snake at all. At least Feng Yun has never seen a snake with a scorpion hook on its tail.

When the manticore appeared, its tail was raised high, almost touching the top of the passage, like a flag.

The manticore's speed was already fast, but after seeing the honeydew ants carrying meat worms and honey sacs, it surged again, more than doubling its speed.

Like a gust of wind, it rushed in front of the honeydew ants in the blink of an eye, its two red eyes shining so brightly that even the dark night could not block them.

At the same time, Feng Yun also discovered something unusual about the honeydew ants. They had stopped, and their bodies were shaking. Their legs were shaking, as if they could no longer support their weight.

Although the Manticore is very fast, its self-control ability is also very powerful. It can move from high speed to completely still without any buffering, and can do it all at once.

When it stopped, the tip of its nose was less than a fist away from the honeydew ant at the front.

It stopped and was not idle.

Almost as soon as it stopped, its raised tail stretched out like lightning. When it pulled back, there was already a white flesh bug hanging on it.

It brought the flesh bug to its mouth and opened it.

At this time, Feng Yun discovered the second difference between it and the snake, that is, its teeth. The number of snake teeth is generally relatively small, but its mouth is full of teeth, and they are densely packed together. 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our reading academy
