Chapter 137: Bait (Part II)
The first feeling of this kind of thing is not only unreliable, but sometimes dangerous. No matter how seasoned a hunter is, there are times when he misses, and his mistake stems precisely from his rich experience, and the so-called good swimmer drowns in the water, which is the truth.
At this moment, the four people with Xu Chen brought such confidence.
During the period of time when Xu Chen was in a coma, these four people had already figured out the condition of Xu Chen and the others, and for some reason, Xu Chen and the others did not have half of their aura. The four of them only deduced that the two of them were either plotted and banned by others, so there would be no slightest aura fluctuation on their bodies.
How could the four of them delve into this? It would be good if they didn't have aura! If these two people weren't injured, how could they have gained so much?
All the equipment on Xu Chen's body was looted by the four of them, but the two hands and thunders were casually discarded because they did not have any aura fluctuations. How could such an iron lump be looked upon by the four of them?
The asymmetry of information is also Xu Chen's only chance now!
The lean man was carrying Xu Chen and Yang Ziyun on his shoulders, and his steps were still fast. After walking for a while, the speed of the four of them slowed down significantly.
"Ahead is the antwolf's lair!" Although he has been here many times, the rough and strong man at the head is still very cautious, and the imprudent people can't come so many times.
"Stay up!
"Don't worry, boss, we're not the first to come back. ”
Xu Chen, who was being resisted by others, was facing down, and when he looked left and right, he could only see the situation near the ground. Along the way, there were piles of rocks everywhere, vegetation was sparse, and if there was, it was all scattered bushes.
I can't run now, and I can't find a place to hide if I run!
From the words of the four people, Xu Chen guessed that these guys should be going to do a dangerous thing, and he and Yang Ziyun are likely to be the props of the other party to divert the danger, if there is no use value, who is willing to take the burden to risk?
Gradually, everyone came to a small hill, the mountain bag is not high, but it is not a long time, but the area is very wide, and it is white. It looks like soil but not soil, like stone but not stone, and the surface is pimpled, as if it has been piled up in a clump.
After the four of them came here, their movements were obviously much gentler, and they easily walked around to a big stone at the corner of the mountain bag.
At this point, the man with stubby limbs stepped forward, and put his short hands on the boulder, and without much force, the stone, which seemed to be no less than a thousand catties, was easily removed by him, and the whole process did not make a sound, and he looked very skillful.
When the boulder was removed, a hole appeared in the mountain wall. The entrance to the cave is only half a person high, and the traces of manual excavation are very obvious.
"Move fast, now is the time for the worker ants to go out to forage, while most of the worker ants are not in the nest, let's use these two bait to lure away the remaining worker ants, and we will definitely be able to grab a few more eggs. ”
Seeing the entrance of the cave appear, the rough and strong man hurriedly urged the other three.
"Don't worry, boss! This time we have a living man in our hands, and the flesh and blood are fresh! Those beasts are not happy to go crazy, how can they take care of us!" said the lean man with a smile.
"Let's be careful! We have heard from other places that ant wolves like to eat the flesh and blood of living people, and we have never seen the specific effect. The man with stubby limbs said worriedly.
"How could it be wrong? This is the news that I spent half a spirit stone to get back!" the thin man said with an unhappy face when he saw that someone was questioning.
"If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't kill mortals near Biancheng, we would have had a chance to try it a long time ago!
Usually he does the hard work, and every time a lean man thinks of that dirty work, he gets angry.
This ant-wolf beast is a unique demon beast in the Sky Wolf Valley, it likes to live in groups, carnivorous demon beasts, and has a special preference for human flesh. But if you change the human flesh, you will really cherish it with a tasting attitude, and even if the danger comes at this time, you will never give up the human flesh in your hands.
As for the flesh and blood of the living, it will make all the antwolves crazy, and the antwolf beast is very single-minded, as long as each antwolf beast bites the first bite of human flesh, it will only recognize this person, and will not die! Even if there are other living people passing by, they will never take a second look. In order to prolong the feast, these antwolves will bite off the human flesh little by little with sharp teeth, and at the same time secrete an acid in their mouths, which will burn all the nerves in the wound before the living can feel the pain, and the bitten person will only feel the discomfort like a mosquito bite.
There was once a sleeping man who encountered a pack of antwolves, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was only half of his body left, and the rest was full of white bones......
Perhaps because of the almost paranoid character of the antwolf, this has become the favorite pet of many monks, and after a little training, the antwolf beast will only obey one master in its life, and if the owner dies, the antwolf beast will be martyred.
Adult ant-wolf beasts can also grow two sets of wings, and even if they fly with their owners, they are not slow. And the ant wolf beast is born with the ability to make holes, and it can save the owner a lot of things in the construction of the cave.
The swarms of ant wolf beasts are the good hands of caring for the home and the civil infrastructure, and almost all the major sects and families will domesticate a batch of ant wolf beasts, and the ant wolf beasts that are raised by people will never shoot at people and animals before they get the master's order, and there is no need to worry about safety at all.
It is precisely because of the infinite demand, but only produced in the Valley of the Heavenly Wolf, and the adult wild ant wolf beast is a social demon beast, can fly, can make holes, better cannibalism, want to obtain an ant wolf beast egg, how difficult is it? adult wild ant wolf beast, wild and untamable, and no one will want it, for this reason the price of the ant wolf beast's eggs has been high.
Even though there are dangers in the Sky Wolf Valley, they still can't stop the adventurers driven by profit.
The four people who caught Xu Chen were well-known ant wolf hunters near the Heavenly Wolf Valley, who specialized in hunting and selling ant wolf eggs for a living.
In the past, these four people used carcasses dug up from mass graves, and the effect was average. This time, I have a living person in my hands, and I am full of expectations for the harvest.
It's just that the man with stubby limbs has always been cautious, and they have never used living people before, and this news is also hearsay from the thin man, so he naturally has doubts in his heart.
"Don't be afraid, that girl is dying anyway, after all, we have both living and dead people in our hands, try it anyway, and we won't go home empty-handed." Besides, even though these brutes are brutes, I don't believe they only want to eat stinky flesh, and will be indifferent to fresh flesh. The rugged man spoke.
"That's it, second brother, you're too cautious, aren't you?" The lean man suddenly became relieved with the support of the boss.
"Okay, let's go in!" Hearing the boss's words, the stout man had no choice but to agree.
Immediately, everyone bent down into the half-man-high hole.
Xu Chen remained motionless, letting the lean man drag him forward like a dead dog.
Xu Chen has only one chance, and any carelessness in advance will cost his life in vain.
Turning around, the nest of the ant wolf is really as complex as an ant nest, and the four of them are familiar with the way, and they have walked many times, so they naturally know the location of the queen ant.
Along the way, Xu Chen took advantage of the convenience of dragging on the ground to constantly tear off the tattered clothes on his body, leaving a rag at every corner.
The road was narrow, and the four of them couldn't even turn back, so where could they see it? And the two tentacles on the antwolf's head had an extremely keen sense of the cultivator's divine sense, and the four of them were all veterans, so how could they do such a thing of startling the snake?
Gradually, after walking in the nest for about half an hour, Xu Chen felt that the terrain was getting lower and lower.
Finally, around a corner, a stout man waved to a halt.
"One...... Two...... Three ......"
"Eight! Eight worker ants in total!"
The stout man showed half of his head slightly, looked at the wide cave around the corner for a long time, counted carefully, and then turned back to the three of them.
"Great! there are only eight of them, and we have two bait, just enough for them!" said the lean man.
In the past, when they used carcasses to lure away the workers, they would always encounter too many of them, so they needed to go and drain the redundant workers by themselves, which was not to mention the danger.
And because the bait is a corpse, those worker ants who are lured away also sometimes drop down their food and run to help, which makes them even more headaches. Many times in the past, it was bad luck to encounter too many worker ants.
Now there are only eight worker ants left next to the queen ant, and they have two bait in their hands, even if the news that the ant wolf loves living human flesh and blood is false, according to past experience, two bait is enough to lure away these eight worker ants!
"Let's do it!" the rugged man hurriedly ordered when he saw this.
"It's not good! I'm going to do it!" Xu Chen's heart suddenly burst when he heard this.
"Okay, big brother, you can take a look!" The thin man was still concerned about the suspicion of the stout man just now, so he deliberately showed himself in front of the boss, and then dragged Xu Chen and Yang Ziyun to the other side of the tunnel.
The queen ant is on the left side of the corner, and the lean man needs to throw the bait hard into the pit on the right, and when the worker ants are attracted to it, they can take the opportunity to run to the queen ant and grab the eggs.
I didn't see how much strength the lean man exerted, and Xu Chen and Yang Ziyun were thrown out by him for more than a mile.
After the bait was thrown, the four men hurriedly retracted their bodies to avoid being noticed by the passing antwolves.
The antwolf beast has poor eyesight and a poor sense of smell, and its perception of its surroundings depends on the two antennae on the top of its head.
After Xu Chen and Yang Ziyun landed, they made two muffled sounds.
The eight worker ants, who were resting beside the queen, suddenly stood up, the two antennae on their heads shook, and after recognizing the direction, they ran towards this place.
At this moment, Xu Chen could see clearly the appearance of the so-called ant wolf beast.
The wolf's head, the body of an ant, the body has no fur, it is wrapped in a layer of carapace, there is no tail, there is a huge belly behind him, two antennae are inserted on the top of the head, and two blood-red eyes, which look very penetrating.
The limbs are thick and powerful, and he can run really fast!
"Oh no, that kid is going to escape!"
