Infinite Doomsday Survival System

Chapter 288 Centipede's Natural Enemy

Who are the natural enemies of centipedes?
Rooster, people used to say that centipede and rooster are natural enemies, if they meet, one must die.

But according to the current size of the centipede, no matter how many roosters come, it may not be able to hurt the centipede in the slightest.

Of course, besides roosters, centipedes have other natural enemies.

Among them, what centipedes are most afraid of is sulfur.

But under the current situation, Tian Lan couldn't find sulfur at all, so this natural enemy could only be temporarily put aside.

In fact, sulfur is the natural enemy of most poisonous insects. Although I don't know if it can still have an effect on them, this is also an attempt.

If it is really useful, then survival will be somewhat easier after that.

Apart from these, the centipede also has other natural enemies, but it has almost no effect on the current centipede.

But this does not mean that centipedes are invincible. There are other insects in nature that centipedes can't afford.

Such as scorpions, spiders.These eventful existences can be on an equal footing with centipedes.

It's just that there isn't one here now, but that doesn't mean there aren't other ways.

The centipede is not an invincible existence. In this world, there are still many existences that it cannot afford to provoke.

For example seven-star ladybug.

Ladybug looks simple and cute, but it has a very hard shell to protect itself.

And this shell, most insects can't break through, including centipedes, can't break through that round shell.

As long as the ladybug enters the state of complete defense, all the existences that cannot swallow it in one bite will have nothing to do with this shell.

When the centipede's sharp legs hit the ladybug's shell, it made a rattling sound, like a machine gun shooting a steel plate.

It sounds very bad, but in fact, all the centipede's legs were scratched from the ladybug's shell, causing no damage to it, not even a scratch.

However, the ladybug's defense is powerful, but the ladybug can't do anything about the centipede.

Although ladybugs also eat other bugs, they only eat greasy bugs and caterpillars. For arthropods like centipedes, it has nothing to do. It has already tried its best to defend itself.

However, from the very beginning, Tian Lan didn't expect the ladybug to be able to deal with the centipede.

Those who can really threaten the centipede are only now preparing to appear.

From the very beginning, Tian Lan was not running for his life blindly, but saw the existence of that guy in the swarm.

The pure gray shell is dotted with black spots.

A pair of sharp fangs seem to be able to cut everything.

Dark eyes, and a pair of long tentacles growing on the eyes, like a whip, every time it moves, it will make a creaking sound, just like a knight walking in armor.

This is an insect that Tianlan likes very much. He has liked it very much since he was a child, and even wanted to become him.

That's right, this insect is a longhorn.

Although the beetle is not a beneficial insect, it is very cool, and the shell on its body is still very hard. At the same time, it also has wings, which can fly freely in the sky.

Once the beetle becomes an adult, it has almost no natural enemies and is a powerful predator, with almost all insects in its diet.

Even centipedes sometimes fall prey to beetles.

If Tianlan hadn't seen the existence of longhorns in the swarm, he wouldn't have rushed into the swarm.

But now the centipede directly circled the swarm of insects, and if this continues, soon, soon the centipede will anger Tai Niu.

At this moment, Tian Lan was inexplicably looking forward to it, and really wanted to see the battle between the longhorn and the centipede.

Although the body of the centipede is more than ten meters or even 20 meters long, but even so, the beetle will not lose to the centipede.

Tian Lan was looking forward to what kind of strength the longhorned beetle would have after it became the size of a human being.

It can be said that Tianlan injected a lot of dreams into Tian Niu, this is a childhood dream, although when he grows up, he clearly knows that these will not come true.

But I don't know why, but my heart seems to want to believe these, want to believe in the unrealistic fantasy of childhood.

The centipede's movements didn't stop because of the ladybug's obstruction, and continued to kill all the creatures surrounded by it.

But at this moment, there was a very crisp click sound, and the centipede's movements stopped abruptly, as if it had been immobilized.

This immobilization only lasted for a moment, and then the centipede began to writhe in pain.

Although Tianlan didn't see what happened clearly, but based on the centipede's appearance and its movements, he could infer that just now, the longhorn made a move... no, it moved its mouth, directly biting off one of the centipede's legs .

The bite force of the beetle is very strong, and when it is its original size, it can bite through an iron wire with a diameter of one millimeter.

But now it has become so huge, let alone a one-centimeter iron wire, maybe even an iron rod with a diameter of one decimeter can be easily bitten through.

Compared with an iron rod with a diameter of one decimeter, the legs of a centipede are much more fragile.

The centipede's legs are indeed very hard, but after all, they are just a shell, and compared with a solid iron rod, they are still much more fragile.

The pain from the broken leg made the centipede roll over and over, and at the same time, it crushed a large number of bugs to death.

Regarding this, Tian Lan didn't have any thoughts, but continued to hide under the shell of the ladybug, observing everything around her.

Inside the shell of the ladybug, Tian Lan can be said to be very safe.

As long as the ladybug is completely on guard, it will be comparable to the current steel fortress.

At the same time, in this state, almost no one can reverse the ladybug, not even insects larger than it.

Therefore, Tianlan is very safe here, and can watch the chaos outside very leisurely.

At this time, the centipede had stopped rolling and was crawling on the ground, always ready to attack.

It really suffered a loss just now, and broke its foot, and it clearly knows that the existence that bites off its own foot is absolutely not to be messed with.

But for a creature that has reached its level, it is obviously impossible to admit defeat in front of a bug even smaller than itself.

The first step in judging each other's combat power is the size of the two sides.

If the opponent is bigger than the centipede, or the same size, it may give up.

But the beetle is too small, about the size of a human being, only the size of two segments of a centipede.

So the centipede would not admit defeat like an insect smaller than itself. It was just careless just now, and the other party was still hiding in the swarm, so a leg was bitten off.

But now it has become serious, sparing no effort to deal with the little bugs in front of it.

The centipede's huge tentacles were constantly shaking, as if it was collecting pheromones in the air to judge the other party's actions.

However, the scene was silent, and the longhorn was still hiding among the insects, completely ignoring the hostile centipede.

As if feeling offended, the centipede was completely angry and kept waving its jaws. From time to time, some liquid dripped down from its jaws.

After the liquid fell on the ground, there was a sizzling sound, and then a puff of blue smoke rose, and a small pit was corroded on the flat ground.

What a powerful toxicity, not only the body has become bigger, the quality has increased, even the strong toxicity has also increased several times.

It is estimated that such venom does not need to be injected into the body of living things, as long as it touches it, it will definitely die.

Perhaps the poison that can kill these bugs now is only those bugs that are born with biological toxicity.

But it is impossible to use this poison on a large scale. Let’s not talk about whether it can kill bugs. Let’s talk about humans. It can definitely kill it.

Generally, pesticides must be considered to kill insects while remaining harmless to humans.

This is also the most difficult thing for the national research team.

No matter how difficult they are, just now, when the other bugs saw the completely annoyed centipede, they all became afraid.

Although these bugs have become very huge now, no matter before or now, they are just the prey of creatures like centipedes and spiders.

The instincts that have been engraved in the genes are stimulated again, making them instinctively afraid.

Then these bugs quickly scattered and evacuated, for fear that after one step, they would become food for the centipede.

The originally huge insect swarm, after a while, only a few scattered insects remained.

It can be seen from this that the instinct of a creature is so strong that no matter how big it becomes, when facing natural enemies, it will feel fear and want to escape from here quickly.

Of course, Tian Lan took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the crowd.

Of course, Tian Lan was also very curious about the outcome, but now was obviously not the time to be curious.

The battle between the strong will easily bring disaster to Chi Yu. Even if you hide in the ladybug's armor, you can't guarantee your absolute safety.

So Tian Lan took advantage of the commotion and escaped quietly.

Fortunately, the centipede's attention was no longer on him now, otherwise even if he was in the swarm, the centipede would be able to find him accurately.

Don't underestimate centipedes' sensory abilities. Even if their sight is not good, they also have other sensory abilities.

Those hundreds of legs are not so long because they look good.

Each step has a separate sense organ, which can clearly capture the vibration of the ground.

And the tentacles on the top of the head are not for the sake of looking good. This tentacles can not only capture the flow of air, but also sense the dryness of the air, so as to confirm whether this place is suitable for its survival. Of course, it can also be used to detect prey.

Therefore, as long as it is willing, it can be said that it is a breeze to find Tian Lan's position among the scattered swarms.

But now is obviously not the time to continue chasing Tian Lan. At this moment, it has a powerful opponent in front of it.

If you are careless at this moment, you may be bitten off by the other party in an instant.

The duel between insects is very serious and will not be easily interfered by the surrounding things.

Because their opponents are able to eliminate each other in an instant, and the opponent can also eliminate the existence between them in an instant.

So instinct does not allow them to be taken lightly.
