Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 298 298. Tropical Rainforest Exploration Mission (Seventeen)
Bullet ants are mainly found in the Amazon rainforest.

Its appearance is similar to that of the wasp's ancestor, and has changed little over millions of years.

Its body length is about 3 centimeters, which is five times that of ordinary ants. It is one of the largest ant species in the world.

They are equipped with strong mandibles and sharp, venomous tail spines.

Being bitten by it is like being hit by a bullet. The toxin causes symptoms such as fever and vomiting, which is a lifetime of unforgettable pain.

Someone who experienced this pain personally later described it as "like having a rusty iron nail driven into the heel, and then walking barefoot on red charcoal."

It is said that among traditional tribes living deep in the Amazon rainforest, there is an incredible tribal activity called the "Bullet Ant Coming of Age Ceremony."

Young tribesmen aged 14 and above are required to wear special bullet ant gloves and endure severe painful bites for a specified period of time, during which they are not allowed to cry.

Perhaps, for them, this is the only way to choose a real "warrior".

……

Before the mighty army of bullet ants approaches, the players' respective systems have already sounded the alarm, reminding the host to be careful.

Bullet ants do not have an advantage in size compared to humans, but "ants can bite elephants to death", and the huge number is a more terrifying existence.

All the players have raised their vigilance, using the spider silk to hang themselves halfway in the air, away from the ground, carefully searching for traces of bullet ants.

Once an army of bullet ants really appears, there is no use hiding in the trees. The ants will climb the trees, and it is only a matter of time before they are found.

Soon, the "rustling" sound of the bullet ant army moving forward became closer and closer. Following the source of the sound, a dark team appeared in everyone's sight from far to near, moving quickly.

Some players with a bit of "trypophobia" couldn't help but get goosebumps.

In fact, bullet ants will prey on insects and small frogs that are much larger than themselves, and will not regard humans as food.

But its reputation is so loud that it makes people feel numb when they see it. After all, no one can guarantee whether they will accidentally take a bite of it and experience the sour feeling in the world.

However, these "passing" bullet ants were obviously a little "hurried", and they were all hurriedly walking with their heads down, not caring about hunting at all.

Taking advantage of being "condescending", players soon understood the reason.

A group of primitive-looking tribal people appeared behind the ant colony.

They were bare-chested, and their skin was tanned brown due to constant exposure to the sun. Their muscle lines were smooth and natural, and they looked full of wild power.

The lower body is surrounded by "aprons, shorts" and the like made of leaves and vines.

Armed with bows and arrows, this is the tool they rely on to make a living.

Living in a dangerous rainforest requires you to develop a keen sense of perception. It was obvious that the leader of this tribe was very vigilant, and soon discovered the players "hanging" in the air with weird and funny postures.

The two parties looked at each other.

The man who looked like the leader of the tribe spoke a few words to them.

No malice was felt on them, and the players were relieved.

After all, everyone has heard that there are notorious "cannibals" deep in the Amazon rainforest.

Bullet ants came and went in a hurry like a dog chasing them behind them. They only had time to meet the players before disappearing.

After the "psychological shadow" left, the players landed on the ground one after another and walked towards the tribe of people who were slowly approaching.

Xu said that most of the players were young people with good looks, and the tribal crowd showed a lot of curiosity and kindness towards them.

They walked over, smiled and waved in a friendly manner, and then an older "uncle" took the lead, stepped forward, held the heads of the players in front of them with both hands and touched them.

"Is this a etiquette? A way of welcoming? A head-touch?"

Tang Qinqin, who was at the back of the team, turned his head and asked softly.

Even if she unleashed her psychic powers, she could not sense the slightest malice from these primitive tribesmen. It could only show that they were really a group of simple and enthusiastic people, expressing their welcome and love in their own way. .

Even though they were at a loss, the players all obediently had their heads touched one by one, and the taller ones even bent down considerately.

Compared to the rude gestures given to boys when it’s their turn, the head-touching gesture is much gentler when it’s the girls’ turn.

After everyone's heads were touched, and the ceremony was completed, the tribal leader waved his hand with great satisfaction and murmured, gesturing for everyone to follow.

As a high-tech product that "knows astronomy from above and geography from below", Xiaoqi and other leaders were a little stuck for the first time and could not translate their languages ​​in time.

Primitive tribes rarely appear in front of people. Their language is relatively rare and is the "indigenous language" prevalent within them.

It is said that tribes in some areas will try to use "Spanish" when communicating with the outside world.

The player teams looked at each other and followed with their team members.

When exploring the rainforest, in addition to recording the mysterious beauty of nature, it is also very interesting and meaningful to visit tribes that still retain their original living conditions.

The opportunity was rare and the hospitality was hard to deny, so the players followed the tribal people out of curiosity and went to visit the primitive tribe.

"We are guests here. We are from a country of etiquette after all. It doesn't look good with empty hands, right?"

Lao Tian, ​​the clever guy in the team, is online again.

"makes sense."

Old Zheng nodded.

It is this principle.

It always feels outrageous to arrive empty-handed.

"They usually make a living by hunting and gathering, so let's take a look and collect some of the food we find. If not, how about we scrape together the food we have with us?"

None of the domestic players had any objections.

Football Kingdom players saw this and followed suit.

"Do they usually like to eat bananas?"

"Come on, let's just carry a banana tree back for them."

After Lao Tian finished speaking, he ran towards the banana tree he was looking for.

Zheng Guangping, who was holding his hand behind him: ...brother, wait a minute...

Have you forgotten that stray spiders like to hide in banana trees?

Don't come back crying soon, it's a joke!

But maybe "foolish people are lucky", and the cheerful and optimistic Lao Tian was not so "unlucky" this time and did not fall into the trap.

The stems covered with bananas were very heavy. Lao Tian and Zheng Guangping carried them one after another. They walked unsteadily, but the expressions on their faces were very proud.

Probably in his mind, it is a very happy thing to be able to bring a "rich gift" to visit the host's house.

Tang Qinqin cooperated with Obsidian and collected some edible wild fruits as house gifts.

On the way, the brave tribesmen also hunted a passing crocodile.

Foodie Lao Tian shed tears of happiness at the corner of his mouth, hey, this trip was really not in vain!
