Chapter 85: I don't know where to start
As soon as Wu Song came to the area where giant ants were infested, he found a relatively small anthill nearby and ran over, he originally thought that there should be more opportunities around this relatively small colony of anthills, but when he arrived at the place, Wu Song found that things were not at all the same as he thought.
Wu Song could think of other adventurers, and the actual situation of this anthill he came to was that the number of ants was not as large as that of adventurers. Because they don't dare to go down the anthill easily, many adventurers are on the ground to find a more comfortable position to wait for the ants who crawled out of the cave, they are three in a group of five, waiting for the ants to come out of the nest by waiting for the rabbit to wait outside the anthill, Wu Song found that as long as there are ants crawling out, not waiting for the melee gang to do it, the long-range attack will crackle and smash over, those adventurers who are not good at long-range attacks even have a chance to shoot, and the ants out of the hole have died. And in addition to this, Wu Song also found a very important problem, that is, several good positions near the exit of the anthill seem to be guarded by some relatively large teams, and the division of labor between those teams to attack and pick up things is quite clear, an ant from the hole to death, and then to the valuable parts of the body are all very smooth assembly line operations, unless it is to turn the face with this group of adventurers, Otherwise, a lone adventurer like Wu Song would not be able to do anything even if he wanted to rush up and grab one.
"Rub ... I didn't even have a chance to do it, and I was a fart. Seeing this almost tragic situation, Wu Song scratched his head depressedly, he regretted not forming a team before, but this alone was not enough to make Wu Song, a stubborn donkey, turn back, this guy saw that the good places around him were all covered with people in the group, and he rushed towards the next anthill without any hesitation.
The distance between the anthills and the anthills is not too close, Wu Song spent half a day visiting six or seven small anthills that he thinks are easier to start, but the tragedy is that the good places around these anthills are all occupied by the guys in the group without exception. Occasionally, I found that a few lone adventurers who were mixed around the anthill were also driven away by those adventurers who formed a group, they couldn't beat the people in the group, and they couldn't rob the people in the group, so naturally they couldn't get any benefits, Wu Song looked at these lone adventurers circulating around, and seemed to foresee what would happen if he mixed here.
"It seems that the edge of the little ant hole is full of virtue, and most of the time I can't get along here... Wu Song came to such a conclusion after some observation, and he immediately thought of two ways out for himself, one was to venture into the hole to kill the ants, and the other was to go to the large ant hole in the central area to have a look.
"Forget it, buddy, don't pretend to be 13, let's go to the middle position and take a look first." Wu Song hesitated for five or six minutes on this multiple-choice question, and finally decided to try his luck in the large anthill in the middle.
Wilderness giant ants are actually the same as ordinary ants, different types of giant ants have different divisions of labor in the group, among which the queen ant is the supreme leader of the entire group can also be said to be the boss, responsible for laying eggs in the group, breeding offspring and managing the big family, worker ants are responsible for building and expanding nests, collecting food, feeding larvae and queens, male ants are responsible for mating with the queen ants~, and soldier ants are responsible for fighting the safety of the entire giant ant family.
The main reason why Wu Song did not choose to enter the anthill was that he was afraid of encountering male ants and soldier ants. The reason why this quest is classified as a level 10 quest is mainly because the largest number of worker ants in the giant ant family is a level 10 mutant creature. However, in fact, in the giant ant family, except for the worker ants, the other three ants are all more than level ten.
The queen ant has the highest level, depending on the size of the group, it is generally between the eighteenth and twentyth levels, the combat ability of the soldier ant is the strongest, the level is about fifteen or sixteen, and the ability of the male ant is slightly worse than that of the soldier ant, but it can generally reach the twelfth or thirteenth level. However, these kinds of ants generally do not leave the anthill, so it is not very difficult for adventurers to deal with those worker ants who come out to forage for food on the periphery of the anthill, but once they enter the anthill, in addition to the soldier ants, the adventurer is also likely to encounter these three types of giant ants, if the danger factor is completely different if you come once, Wu Song is only level 12 now, even if he, a level 12 thief, is much more powerful than the average level 12 adventurer, But this does not mean that he is willing to rush into the anthill to deal with those high-level ants, so unless he has to, Wu Song will never make such a high-risk move as entering the anthill to take risks.
Compared with the small anthill, the situation of several large anthills in the central area is much more complicated, giant ants like to have more exits, generally speaking, a small giant ant nest can have about ten exits, and the distance between the exit of the small giant ant nest and the exit is relatively far, so adventurers can use the way of guarding the hole to attack the giant ants, adventurers are like fishing, and arrange something that is more attractive to the giant ants at the entrance of the hole (generally sugars, giant ants inherit some characteristics of ants, is particularly sensitive to the smell of sweet things), and the distance in the cave will continue to crawl out and die. But... This trick won't work around the big anthill.
The so-called big anthill, just looking at the area of the underground cave, is actually not much bigger than the small anthill, the giant ant's interest in predation is much higher than the building nest, and the giant ant belongs to the migratory class of ants, they will collectively migrate to other places after all the things that can be eaten in an area are wiped out, so the giant ant will rarely build a very large underground palace, and the big anthill in the mouth of the adventurers actually refers to the number of ants in the anthill, not the area of the anthill.
In addition to the difference between large giant ant nests and small giant ant nests in the number of giant ants, their burrowing styles are also completely different, small giant ant nests due to the relatively small number of ants inside the nest, generally a dozen exits are enough, and large giant ant nests due to the number of ants in the nest too much, a dozen exits are completely insufficient. The area of the lair that Wu Song went to was about the size of two football fields, but there were hundreds of movements on the ground in this area! And the number of ants here is too much, although it was already dark when Wu Song arrived here, but probably because the place inside the anthill was not enough, many giant ants were lying directly on the anthill ~ around the entrance of the cave, and the black pressure looked like it gave people a feeling of goosebumps.
