Chapter 178 Insect Tide Disaster

"Damn it! This is an insect plague!"

Seeing this scene, Cang Nian's skin tingled all over.

If he wasn't a tiger now, instead of a human, he would definitely have goosebumps all over his body!

With his excellent eyesight, even from a distance, he could see that the black mass was not mycelium, let alone oil, but bugs!

What’s more, it’s still an insect that looks exactly the same!

The size of those bugs is not exaggerated. They are basically only a dozen centimeters high and forty to fifty centimeters long. They are estimated to weigh only a dozen kilograms.

But there are so many of them!

They cover the ground, and there are so many of them that they can’t even be counted.

Perhaps, even one of them cannot defeat the vast majority of first-order evolved creatures.

But when they form such a terrifying insect tide, no matter how powerful the creature is, they can only be swallowed up by them!

Tall trees were sawed and then shattered by their jagged mouthparts working in unison.

It seems that they can eat wood chips directly to maintain their own activities.

And if it is an animal, they will swarm it and bite it.

Although, if each one of them bites into it, at most it will lose a little bit of meat.

But in huge numbers, they can eat them up quickly.

Even the grass on the ground was not spared, and they ate it one by one.

It seems that as long as they are living creatures, there is nothing they cannot eat.

And even if they eat poisonous mushrooms, some bugs will die immediately and they will continue to eat them.

As for the dead companions, Cang Nian can see them, they will dismember them on the spot and devour them.

Although the poisoned bugs still contain toxins in their bodies, after one digestion, the toxins are evenly distributed in their bodies and their toxicity is greatly reduced.

Other bugs that eat the corpses of poisoned bugs will only have slightly impaired mobility, but will not die.

They are like an army with orders and prohibitions, and nothing will hinder their actions.

But their current behavior is like robbers, leaving no grass growing wherever they pass!

"Damn! How could there be such a ghost thing?!"

Seeing this scene, Cang Nian took a breath and cursed in his heart.

No wonder so many animals are running away without any hesitation!

Who wouldn’t run away after seeing something like this?

For a moment, Cang Nian was panicked.

Is it really possible for my family to defeat an insect swarm of this scale?

At this moment, Cang Nian had the idea of ​​​​escape.

Anyway, now, the pine cone has matured, the pine nuts have been eaten, and all the benefits have been taken.

This territory is not so inseparable.

What's more important is that no grass grows wherever the insect tide passes. If we can't stop them and let them pass through the territory, the territory will be ruined.

Without plants, there would be no herbivores, and without herbivores, the territory would be starved to death.

But, can they really be stopped?

“No, I have to give it a try!

You can escape now, but if this thing is immortal, the scale will only get bigger and bigger.

Unless someone can deal with them, they can swallow the whole world! "

But after thinking about it, Cang Nian gritted his teeth and was still ready to give it a try.

This insect wave is not advancing very fast now.

Because they eat everything they see, they can travel more than thirty meters in one minute.

Roughly calculated, the advance is close to fifty kilometers per day.

It is two hundred and fifty kilometers away from the pine tree. With this method of advancement, it should take another five days to arrive.

However, in order to preserve the territory, Cang Nian felt that they must be stopped at least a hundred kilometers away from the pine trees.

In that case, he still has three days to prepare.

Thinking of this, Cang Nian got into the dense forest and ran towards the south.

Following the advancing route of the insect tide, Cang Nian ran upwards for fifteen kilometers before finding its boundary.

Then, Cang Nian returned to the river and ran towards Naofang. He also found the boundary of the insect tide, which was ten kilometers away.

In other words, their advance line is fully 25 kilometers wide!

Such a scale makes Cang Nian feel numb.

Moreover, Cang Nian has not yet tried to determine their specific size along the northern and southern boundaries of the insect tide.

Maybe the widest part of their path will be even more amazing!

"We have to hurry up, otherwise we won't even have a chance to stop them when they advance."

Thinking of this, Cang Nian stopped staying and ran towards the upper reaches of the river!

…

An hour and a half later, Cang Nian finally returned home.

"Ouch~!"

After resting for a moment to catch his breath, Cang Nian howled and told Tiger Dad and the others what he had seen.

When Dad Tiger heard the news, he frowned immediately.

It has seen the horror of mycelium and still remembers it fresh.

Although insect tides and mycelium are different in nature, they are actually terrifying existences that are large enough to cause disaster.

Roar~!

Thinking of this, Father Tiger growled and asked Cang Nian what he was going to do.

"Ouch~!"

Cang Nian, on the other hand, decisively expressed his thoughts.

His idea is very simple!

Repeat the same trick!

Although insect tides are different from mycelium, as long as they are carbon-based organisms, they are definitely afraid of fire!

Unless you evolve a fire attribute ability, you will have high resistance to fire attributes.

In this case, let's light another fire!

The insect swarm itself leaves no grass growing wherever it passes. If they don’t burn the jungle over there, they will be eaten up by the insect swarm!

Therefore, it is better to use the jungle and the raging wildfire to wipe out the insect swarm!

Oh~!

Hearing Cang Nian’s method, Tiger Dad’s eyes lit up and then nodded.

Before leaving, the fisherman gave his spare lighter to Cang Nian.

Hey~!

But just when Cang Nian was about to take his family to build a firebreak, the pine tree trembled its needles, as if it wanted to say something.

“Oh~?”

Cang Nian raised his head to express his doubts.

I saw that the pine tree lowered a pine branch with pine cones on it.

Snap~!

Then, a pine cone fell to the ground. Cang Nian thought it would explode and scatter pine nuts, so he dodged backwards.

But the pine cone did not explode.

The next second, the pine tree threw another pine cone on its branch toward the river not far away!

The pine cone fell on the river bank, on the stone slab that the fisherman had used as a dinner plate.

Bang~!

With a bang, a beam of fire shot up into the sky, and a fireball with a diameter of three meters rose up. The pine cone on the stone slab was still burning, and it burned for more than a minute.
