"Wrong, wrong!"

Professor Xu shook his head with a smile, "Da Ceng, you are wrong!"

"Am I wrong? This... How is that possible? "I remember when I was in school, my biology teacher told me that snakes rely on eggs to reproduce. Could it be that my biology teacher lied to me?" Da Ceng did not believe that his judgement was wrong.

"Your teacher didn't lie to you. It's just that your studies are not comprehensive."

Professor Xu explained with a smile, "There are two kinds of breeding methods for snakes: egg birth and egg birth. Compared to other reptiles, snakes have their own specialities. Most reptiles have their own way of reproducing, and snakes are born from eggs, whereas snakes have their own half embryo and half egg. "

"Half-birth and ovulation?" The perplexity in his eyes deepened.

Professor Xu nodded, and then said, "For example, the Bamboo Leaf Green and Sea Serpent are born by birth, while the Five Steps Snake is born by egg. Among them, the production process of Venom Snake is the most complicated. It is not like some reptiles, where it is born purely from a womb or an egg. The production method of Venom Snake is born from an embryo, which means that the baby snake is born from the womb of its mother. "

"From the looks of it, the black snakes in front of us are probably the same as the Venom Snake. They are the products of an embryo."

Pausing for a moment, Professor Xu pointed to the pile of lime and said confidently, "Besides, the chemical composition of the lime is carbon dioxide and calcium oxide, which is a dry and high-temperature product. It is extremely malleable, and once dissolved with water, it will release a lot of heat energy.

Da Ceng said in realization, "So that's how it is."

"According to Professor Xu, these black snakes must be the same as Agkistrodon halys. They must have been born from an embryo, and the reason they built their nests behind a pile of lime was to make it easier for their offspring to hatch. As a result, I used the Thunder Fire Rune to accidentally burst open the pile of lime, thus exposing the black snake eggs buried in the pile of lime!"

"Based on the current situation, the facts are indeed as Master Fang said."

Professor Xu glanced at the dense mass of black snakes not far away, and made his guess, "Since these black snakes placed the nest of their eggs in the lime pile, it is enough to prove that the mother snake is in the recovery period. When Master Fang approached the lime pile, these black snakes let out hissing sounds, which I think is not a signal to attack, but a warning to Master Fang to stay away from the nest of the lime pile."

Just as he was looking at the eggs laid by the black snakes in the lime pile, he suddenly realized that there was a change in the quiet lime heap. The two fist-sized swirls started to spin very quickly under everyone's gaze. Why would there be a whirlpool on this pile of lime? "

It was reasonable to say that lime was a product of high heat. In the current situation, only the black snake would be willing to stay here while laying its eggs. Other creatures would be afraid of the high temperature in the lime pile, but at this moment, two fist-sized vortexes had appeared in the lime pile.

The moment this whirlpool appeared, the black snakes, who had been eyeing covetously at the opposing party, seemed to have smelled the fatal danger and immediately revealed their blood-red tongues. All the black snakes gathered beside the two whirlpools and stared fixedly at the increasing whirlpool, as if there was a creature they were most afraid of within the whirlpool.

Under the gaze of the book, the whirlpool that was getting bigger and bigger finally revealed its true appearance as time passed.

Soon, an ant around the length of a thumb emerged from the whirlpool.

"Ma..." "Ants?" Fang Zishu was stunned.

He originally thought that the creatures that could make the black snake fear would be at the same level as the other creatures, or at the very least, a toad like creature. But to his surprise, the mysterious creatures that finally emerged from the quicklime whirlpool were actually a bunch of scarlet ants.

"Yes …" It's a red army ant! "

Professor Xu's face changed abruptly, and even his voice trembled. He started shaking. As an archaeologist and zoologist, he was very clear on what kind of existence the 'red army ant' was.

"Red Legion Ants? This... What is this? "

The longer he spent with Professor Xu, the more he felt that his knowledge and knowledge were obviously lacking. He had already made up his mind in his heart that after he helped Professor Xu and the others successfully complete the 'Tomb of Prince Xiang' in 'Bastard Ridge', he would have to temporarily withdraw from the circle of tomb robbers and go to a modern university to recharge his studies. This way, he could relax and further expand his knowledge.

Of course, this was all a story for the future, so there was no point in mentioning it here.

This time, before Professor Xu could explain, Fatty Dun spoke up first, "Master Fang, the red ants are another branch of the desert army, and the desert army ants are one of the most terrifying creatures in the world."

"This little ant, could it be the scariest creature in the world?" The curiosity in Fang Zishu's eyes deepened.

"Master Fang, don't underestimate this small ant. This guy's biting power is even stronger than the 'cannibal fish' in the movie. In a tropical forest in the southwest of South America, an expedition team undoubtedly discovered this extremely terrifying eating power of this ant."

"According to their records, a single adult red army ant the size of a silkworm's chrysalis is enough to eat a rooster or even a strong wolfdog. If you look at the entire world of living, what other animals can complete this kind of devouring power?"

"Is this ant that powerful?" Fang Zishu smacked his lips.

"The most terrifying part of the red army ants is far more than just this. What makes one's scalp tingle is their huge number. The ants are social creatures, and the red army ants are no exception. They tend to have tens or hundreds of them living together."

Da Pang smiled and then said, "This is only a smiling red army ant's nest. If we meet a big red army ant's nest, there would be tens of thousands of red army ants in it. Just think about it, if there were tens of thousands of red army ants attacking at the same time, how terrifying would the bite power be?"
