Chapter 016 Everyone I've seen is dead
Jiang He had never seen a female iron-eating ant.
Yesterday in the mine, Yang Li did not mention the appearance characteristics of the female iron-eating ants. He only said that the female iron-eating ants were very powerful, very poisonous, and very scary.
Yang Li didn't mention this thing, perhaps because he thought most people had no chance of encountering female iron-eating ants.
Of course, the most likely possibility is that he has never seen a female iron-eating ant, nor has he heard anyone mention what a female iron-eating ant looks like.
No one has mentioned the appearance of the female iron-eating ant. Perhaps there is a reason. Everyone who has encountered this thing has died, so no one knows what the female iron-eating ant looks like.
Jiang He had always thought that the appearance of male and female iron-eating ants was similar, with the exception of being slightly larger. For example, male iron-eating ants were the size of a caterpillar, while females were at most the size of an egg.
Maybe it's not that big. After all, this thing lives in the cracks of the wall, and if it's too big, it will affect its survival.
But Jiang He never expected that the female iron-eating ant lying on the top of the cave looked about the size of a football. It was pitch black and fell like a black circular shadow on the top of the cave, almost blending in with the wall.
Fortunately, Jiang He has sharp senses, and ordinary people can't detect the existence of this guy at all.
It looks no different from a male iron-eating ant, except for its larger body and bigger belly, it also has four eyeballs and a pair of thin black wings.
The eyeballs of male iron-eating ants are the same black as their bodies, which helps them hide, while the eyeballs of females are a faint red.
When the mining lamp shone over, the six eyeballs emitted a red light, like red aiming points in the dark night.
The red eyeballs will roll around all over the body, which is very weird.
Do all female iron-eating ants have stomachs this large? What's in their stomachs? Insect eggs?
Jiang He froze in place, as if struck by a needle, not daring to move. The red light in the female iron-eating ant's eyes was like six rays of red light, all falling into Jiang He's eyes.
The other party is locking onto her.
When did it appear? She hadn't even noticed it.
Jiang He didn't dare blink, her mind ringing with alarm bells. She suspected that if she blinked, the ant would open its bloody mouth and devour her. Although this was impossible given its size, Jiang He's subconscious told her that this female iron-eating ant was terrifying.
Could it be that she is really an alien who can attract not only male iron-eating ants but also female iron-eating ants?
The female iron-eating ant didn't move either, probably because it was also weighing the threat posed by the food.
After a moment of stalemate, Jiang He suddenly realized that this female iron-eating ant was waiting for her to bleed to death. The other party was very smart and did not want to fight head-on. She wanted to take her down without any effort and take her down without any effort.
Good guy, quite cunning.
Jiang He's body was still bleeding, and she didn't have that much time to stalemate with the other party. After realizing the other party's plan, she immediately threw the robot's head in her hand towards the other party.
The female iron-eating ant's head was about the same size as the robot's, but it was flat, while the robot's head was round. When Jiang He hit it, the ant whizzed into the gap at the top and disappeared.
Jiang He didn't realize that the other party was knocked away by her. She didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly tore off the clothes of the young robot next to her and bandaged the bloody holes on his legs.
Spider legs are all triangular in shape. No matter at which angle they pierce the human body, they will poke a triangular hole. Once the opponent fails to dodge in time, the opponent will rotate and scratch in the blood hole, and the small triangular hole will become a large blood hole, which will cause much more damage than a knife.
Jiang He was just about to bandage her second leg when her whole body suddenly rolled to the side. A female iron-eating ant crawled out from the ground where she had just been lying.
The pincers on its head were raised high, and its thin legs began to scrape the blood that had not yet dried on the ground.
It was all Jiang He's blood.
While doing this, its six red eyes stared at Jiang He.
Jiang He was shocked to find that all her blood on the ground had disappeared after being scraped away by the thin legs of the female iron-eating ants.
Its thin legs acted like straws, sucking up all the blood.
Looking at its belly again, it was rounder and much bigger than before, and you could see the blood-red liquid inside through the thin belly skin.
It likes her blood, and it is the smell of blood that attracts it.
After all the blood belonging to Jiang He on the ground was sucked dry, the female iron-eating ant licked its legs and stared at Jiang He.
It looked full, but Jiang He couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't be thinking about its brain.
Yang Li said that iron-eating ants like to gnaw on the brains of aliens.
She quickly bandaged the wound on her shoulder.
He moved his body carefully and tried to grab the mechanical arm of the young robot next to him.
But as soon as she moved, the female iron-eating ants thought the food was trying to escape, and without wasting time digesting it, they quickly shot towards her face.
It is very fast, at least three times the speed of a male iron-eating ant.
Its belly is so big, it's like carrying a burden, how can it still maintain such a fast speed?
Jiang He was full of confusion and he crawled to grab the robotic arm.
As the female iron-eating ant pounced, she swung the grappling hook in her hand at it.
The grappling hook is as sharp as an eagle's claw, and the iron chain swings silently and at an extremely fast speed.
The female iron-eating ant turned its body in mid-air, avoiding the grappling hook and moving away from her.
Jiang He didn't dare to breathe. She was at the end of her strength, but at the critical moment of life and death, she burst out with a burst of great strength.
She stood up and stared at the six eyes of the female iron-eating ant without blinking.
These six eyes were particularly bright in the dark cave. But the other party was too small, fast and very agile, and could always quickly hide in the ground or slip into a crack.
Jiang He was so tired that he was panting, and the strength he had mustered was almost exhausted.
Suddenly, the female iron-eating ant jumped up again and pounced on her face.
It seemed that the other party had finished testing her and felt that she was not to be feared, so he wanted to go straight for her brain.
Jiang He grabbed the female iron-eating ant that was rushing towards him with his left hand.
Wait, how dare she try to catch this thing with her bare hands?
Yang Li said that iron-eating ants would burrow into and bite the skin when they encountered it, so she should avoid them.
At this moment, the hands and the brain are completely unable to reach a consensus.
Jiang He felt like he was schizophrenic. His brain was sending out crazy alarms and he wanted to hide away, but his hands were out of control and he was extremely stubborn and wanted to catch the female iron-eating ant.
She felt her pupils dilating at this moment, and the sound of female iron-eating ants gnawing on her brain could be heard in her mind.
But when the female iron-eating ant was touched by her fingers, very short tentacles emerged from her palm.
This tentacle was a little thicker than the one that had appeared from the pads of her fingers before. It was about the same thickness as her thumb, but only half the length.
The head of the tentacle opened like a petal, revealing sharp white fangs.
Like a starving baby bird, it raised its neck high and opened its mouth wide, waiting to be fed.
After sucking so much blood from the ground, the female iron-eating ant swelled up to the size of a basketball. This little tentacle was blind. Where did it get the confidence to think it could swallow the female iron-eating ant?
The female iron-eating ant might have had the same idea, and its six eyes revealed human-like contempt and ridicule.
This brainless little thing, doesn't it know its own weight? Things without brains are really stupid.
The female iron-eating ant opened its mouth wide, and when it opened its mouth, slender black mouthparts appeared in its mouth, stabbing mercilessly at the center of the circle of white fangs on the tentacles.
Close combat.
Jiang He heard a sharp cry from a female iron-eating ant.
The sound wasn't loud. After all, it wasn't that big, so no matter how sharp the sound was, it wouldn't be that high. But the sound stung Jiang He's eardrums.
She remembered the sounds coming from the speakers in the training camp cafeteria that were enough to pierce her eardrums and confuse her brain.
It is very similar to the sound made by female iron-eating ants, but the sound in the training camp is higher and more powerful, like a luxurious and enhanced version of the sound of female iron-eating ants.
She endured the tingling sensation in her brain and looked carefully. Wow, the pink tentacle in the palm of her hand opened its serrated mouth and bit the mouthparts of the female iron-eating ant.
The female iron-eating ant's six eyeballs converged into one large red eyeball, staring at Jiang He. The sharp cry rang out again.
