Chapter 221: Ant Colony Nest

Knowing Suosuo –

A dense sound came from the dark night in the distance, the sound was very weak, like countless ghosts tiptoeing closer, it was so far away, but it was so real, so real that Li Rui, who was hiding behind the big tree, could feel a cold breath coming to his face, with a faint smell of blood, and a bit of disgusting sourness, these two smells were mixed together, making Li Rui's soul tremble for no reason.

This is a kind of human instinctive fear of terrifying creatures, a very strange feeling, and what is even worse is that this feeling is somewhat familiar, Li Rui suddenly guessed something, his face was horrified, and he vigilantly raised his sniper scope towards the source of the sound, however, except for the towering trees, the front was gloomy, dark, and nothing could be seen.

"Damn, won't you?" Li Rui muttered nervously, for the first time in his life, he felt that this world was not what he was familiar with, there were still many unknown secrets and great horrors, and human beings were so small and fragile in the face of these unknown great horrors.

After a while, the sound of Suo Suo became louder and louder, more and more dense, and the familiarity made Li Rui crazy, and not long after, a large number of heat sources appeared in the sniper scope, yellow and clear, mixed with a little red light like a rolling tide, with the momentum of engulfing everything, and after a while, a lot of work went in.

"Sure enough." Li Rui was shocked, his heart was raised to his throat, and he quickly held his breath, for fear of alarming the surging ant colony, looking around, it was overwhelming, dense, Li Rui nervously pulled his legs and was about to run, and suddenly found that the torrent of rolling ants turned around and rushed towards the dense soil bags.

"Huh?" Li Rui looked at this scene in surprise, and he couldn't understand why these ant colonies didn't attack him, you must know that these ants obviously have a strong perception ability, and they have been found hiding in a tall tree, and now the distance is only about ten meters, there is no reason why they can't be found.

Soon, Li Rui found that the ant colony was like layers of rolling waves, rushing to the mound swarm, as if entering a certain devouring gate, the ant colony began to disappear after submerging into the mound colony, and the ant colony behind continued to roll forward, and the mound colony was like a huge black hole, engulfing all the ant colonies that rushed in.

"Weird?" Li Rui carefully observed this scene in surprise, and suddenly understood that those high piles of dirt were not naturally formed, nor artificially built, but the ants' nest mounds, the ants hollowed out the ground and built a huge underground base, and the excavated soil was placed on the ground in piles, one to block the wind and rain, and the other to warn other creatures around not to approach.

"Such a large nest?" Li Rui's face changed greatly, and when he looked closely, the mounds next to each other were of the same size, dense, and there were hundreds, and the ant nests under each mound could definitely accommodate nearly 10 million ants, in other words, there were hundreds of millions of ants living here, the size of each fist, the amount of food was amazing, how many beasts did they have to devour in a day? No wonder the wild boar devoured only the skeleton in the blink of an eye.

"What a terrible ant colony, what a terrible primeval forest." Li Rui watched vigilantly as the ant colony sank into the mound, and inexplicably had a little more respect for this primeval forest, this forest can support such a huge ant colony, which means that there are probably a lot of beasts here, and the ecological chain is complete and rich.

All along, Li Rui is very confident in his ability to survive in the jungle, since he was a child, he has followed Uncle Anli to shuttle through various forests, and has practiced a jungle survival skill, at this moment, Li Rui found that he was so insufficient, so weak, strong and fat wild boar like an adult calf, the first time in his life, however, this kind of wild boar herd that can make the beasts jealous was wiped out by ants, how terrifying is this?

Li Rui quietly watched the ant colony enter the nest, until all the ants disappeared, they didn't dare to be careless, waited patiently, after half an hour, not a single ant came, Li Rui took a long breath, but still didn't dare to move, who knows what danger lurks around? I didn't dare to go forward, worried that the land in front of me had been hollowed out by the ant colony, and if it was not good, it would be trapped, and it would become food delivered to the door.

Thinking that he was devoured by ants into a pile of skeletons, Li Rui snorted, let out a cold sweat, stared around vigilantly, and made up his mind to leave after dawn, this primeval forest beyond human cognition is really too terrifying and mysterious.

After a while, there was a touch of red light in the eastern sky, a very faint light, but it gave people a sense of security, Li Rui looked at the red light, his heart was much more solid for no reason, and his tense face was relaxed, and it was finally dawn, only to find that his back was actually full of cold sweat.

How shameful is it that the dignified dragon teeth, a fourth-level genetic warrior, are frightened by this mysterious and terrifying primeval forest and dare not move at night? Li Rui felt that his face was hot, and he was a little embarrassed, it was not that Li Rui was timid, but this forest was too weird, Li Rui didn't want to act blindly and die inexplicably.

After a while, the white of the fish belly in the east became brighter and brighter, bigger and bigger, emitting bursts of morning glow, dispelling the night in the sky, and fighting for air supremacy with the darkness, Li Rui smiled, it was finally dawn, put down the sniper rifle, took off the tactical glasses and put them away, and looked at the surrounding woods.

The morning glow is overwhelming, but it only occupies a small half of the sky, most of the sky is still night, the tall and dense canopy of the primeval forest will block the bright light, the ground is gray, fortunately, the visibility of the naked eye is larger, there are about ten meters, Li Rui found that as far as the eye can see are all tall and straight trees, I don't know what tree species, it looks very hard, the ground is full of fallen leaves, a thick layer, exuding a foul smell.

Li Rui looked around in surprise, a little puzzled why the previous fire didn't spread, why no one searched for it, could it be that the enemy also knew the danger here, and didn't dare to come to search overnight? If so, someone will definitely be sent up after dawn, is it evacuation? Or wait and see?

Not long after, Li Rui suddenly heard the sound of people faintly talking in the distance, the voice was very small, and when he listened carefully, he found that the voice was gone, and it was very unreal, but Li Rui believed in his hearing and intuition, and estimated that someone was searching for him, and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, so he couldn't be careless, and he stared around vigilantly to think about countermeasures.

The ant colony's nest is definitely the most dangerous place, no one dares to stay here, Li Rui has an idea, although it is dangerous here, but it is also an excellent place to hide under the lights, no one can think that Li Rui will hide here, even Li Rui himself can't believe that he hid here all night.

Thinking of this, Li Rui quickly climbed towards a big tree.
