Chapter 3 Giant Ants

Zhou Xiusheng shouted, "It's not good, there are ants!" The other four teenagers straightened their waists and raised their torches to shine on the cave wall, only to see countless ants crawling out of the small cave on the cave wall, which they had originally ignored, and surrounded everyone.

"Retreat, retreat to the armor-piercing beasts, the armor-piercing beasts are the natural enemies of ants, and they dare not chase after them!" Mo Jie didn't care about picking the moon mushroom anymore, and beckoned everyone to run back, Zhou Xiusheng and Li Yi saw this and hurriedly followed Mo Jie to retreat. The monkey and Zhang Shaofan had no time to retreat because they had collected the moon mushrooms too deeply, so they gritted their teeth and ran towards the depths of the cave.

Zhou Xiusheng and the three of them ran to the original road in a panic, and ants fell from the top of their heads from time to time, and when they looked up, they saw that there were also many ants crawling out of the small hole above their heads. "Run, run!" Mo Jie urged in front, and the three of them ran desperately on the ants that fell from the ground.

At this time, an ant happened to fall on Zhou Xiusheng's body, and its big jaw was like a miniature version of a trap, which could open 180 degrees and bite Zhou Xiusheng's skin. Zhou Xiusheng felt a sharp pain in his back, threw away the dagger in his left hand, and grabbed it behind his backhand with his backhand. He pulled hard, and the ants were torn off, and a piece of the flesh on his back was also torn off by the way, and blood flowed all over the place.

In such a delayed time, Zhou Xiusheng was surrounded by ants on the left and right. Fortunately, the ants were afraid of fire, and he held the torch in his hand, and for a while they did not dare to crawl on him, and there was a rustling sound in his ears, and the ants gathered more and more.

Just when Zhou Xiusheng was at a loss, a big hand stretched out in front of him, grabbed his clothes, and dragged him forward with force. It turned out that Mo Jie and Li Yi found out that Zhou Xiusheng was surrounded by ants, and turned back to save him, and the big hand was Mo Jie's hand. Li Yi lit the shirt he had taken off and threw it behind him, trying to stop the giant ant for a moment.

They ran some distance in the direction of the armor-piercing beast, and sure enough, the rustling sound was far away, and the giant ants did not dare to chase after them. The three of them gasped and stopped. You look at me, I look at you, I am afraid for a while, if they are surrounded by giant ants, the end will definitely be no bones.

Mo Jie saw that Zhou Xiusheng and Li Yi had a bad face, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, since we know the most dangerous thing in this cave, don't worry so much, ants are not as fast as us." ”

Li Yi nodded, inserted the torch in his hand into the wall of the cave, took out gauze from his backpack, and helped Zhou Xiusheng stop the bleeding in his back.

"I hope the monkeys are okay, this cave is bottomless, and I don't know where it leads, and the people in Group 67 don't know if they have encountered ants?" Zhou Xiusheng held back the pain in his back and said.

Mo Jie sneered and said, "Didn't you notice that this cave has been pierced by armor-piercing beasts and giant ants with many small holes, these small holes lead in all directions, since we meet these ants, they can't escape." ”

Li Yi's bandaging movements were very gentle, and it didn't take long for Zhou Xiusheng's wounds to be treated, and just as he was about to bandage the wound, Zhou Xiusheng felt that Li Yi's movements suddenly stopped.

Zhou Xiusheng looked back, Li Yi's face was pale, his eyes were staring straight at the figure on the ground, Zhou Xiusheng looked at the ground along Li Yi's line of sight, but found that there were reflections of four people on the ground.

"Who?" Zhou Xiusheng looked up violently and found that there was a fourth person standing behind the three of them in a daze, this is a middle-aged man, with a pale face and a beard, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time, his eyes turned around on Zhou Xiusheng and the three of them fiercely, and finally locked on Mo Jie.

"It turns out that the footprints on the ground were stepped on by him, not the footprints of the people of Group 67." In an instant, Zhou Xiusheng thought of the footprints on the ground.

"Are you...... Who? How is it here? We are students of the Bronze City Bronze Awakening School, and we are here to complete the trial. Mo Jie was also frightened, his throat was a little dry, and he said in a trembling voice.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to hear Mo Jie speak, his eyes were still staring straight at him, and after staring at Mo Jie, he moved his feet and walked towards the three of them.

Mo Jie gave Li Yi and Zhou Xiusheng a look, and they each pulled out the daggers tied to their legs, and Zhou Xiusheng grabbed the torch because the dagger had been lost, and his body was in the shape of a bow, and he made an attack.

The middle-aged man walked in front of the three of them, stretched out his hand and grabbed Mo Jie, who took a step back to avoid the middle-aged man's attack, and at the same time flipped the dagger in his hand and stabbed forward. At the same time, Zhou Xiusheng shouted and pounced on the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man shrank his hand and twisted his body to avoid Mo Jie's counterattack, and at the same time flew up and kicked at Zhou Xiusheng's chest, who was rushing up, Zhou Xiusheng couldn't avoid it, and was kicked squarely, he felt a strong force coming, his body had flown out, and he fell to the ground with a "bang", and suddenly felt that all his internal organs were turned upside down, and he almost vomited, and he had lost his combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yi rushed up from the side, the dagger stabbed at the middle-aged man's thigh, the middle-aged man turned to one side, and with a "poof", Li Yi's dagger stabbed the wall of the cave, and the tip of the dagger was broken.

The middle-aged man laughed strangely, punched Li Yi in the face, and hit Li Yi's face with blood, seeing that he also lost his combat effectiveness.

Mo Jie looked at Zhou Xiusheng and Li Yi's miserable appearance, and shouted, "I'll fight with you!" Rushing towards the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man grabbed Mo Jie's wrist holding the dagger, and hit him with a hand knife, Mo Jie lost his strength softly.

The torches of the three fell to the ground and went out after the fight, and the hole suddenly became pitch black, Zhou Xiusheng did not faint, he opened his eyes wide and tried to see the situation on the other side clearly, but he couldn't see anything, only heard the sound of Suosuo's clothes rubbing.

After a while, Zhou Xiusheng heard a person standing up and walking in a direction away from them, listening to the footsteps that were very unfamiliar. He wondered why the middle-aged man didn't kill them, but just knocked them down and left.

An hour later, Zhou Xiusheng gradually gained strength, he groped on the ground for a long time and finally touched a extinguished torch, and hurriedly lit the torch with flint, the hole suddenly brightened, only to see Li Yi lying on the left side, his face was covered with blood, I don't know whether he was dead or alive, and Mo Jie had no wounds on his body, and fainted with his face to the ground.

Zhou Xiusheng shouted twice, seeing that they didn't move, he walked over and hugged Li Yi to Mo Jie's side, and then turned Mo Jie over and let him lie face up on the ground, when he touched Mo Jie's body, a very uncomfortable feeling came to his heart, as if he felt that Mo Jie's breath was very dark.

However, Zhou Xiusheng didn't think much about it, he took out the kettle in his backpack and filled the two of them with a little water in their mouths, and the hole was silent again, only the sound of torches burning and crackling. Zhou Xiusheng didn't know when they would wake up, he didn't dare to leave, in case those giant ants came again after he left, there would be no bones left for the two of them to be gnawed.

Half a day later, Li Yi suddenly coughed, Zhou Xiusheng was overjoyed when he heard the cough, and being able to cough meant that Li Yi was free of life, so he took out the kettle and poured some water into his mouth.

Just as Zhou Xiusheng was feeding Li Yi water, he felt a strange feeling behind him, and he turned his head to see that Mo Jie was sitting on the ground staring at him. He hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Mo Jie smiled, his smile looking a little oozing, and replied, "I'm fine, how is he?" ”

"It shouldn't be a big problem, I'll bandage his face, and we'll exit the cave when he wakes up!" Zhou Xiusheng replied while tending to the wound on Li Yi's face.

Mo Jie said "um", took out the dry food and ate it for a while, and after a while said: "No, we can't leave the monkey and the two of them like this, we have to go out together when we come in together, I don't know if they will bump into the middle-aged man, we have to save them." ”

Zhou Xiusheng felt ashamed when he heard Mo Jie say this, and thought to himself that before doing the trial task, the teacher did say that the five people outside should advance and retreat together and help each other.

Mo Jie stood up and walked over, the two of them bandaged Li Yi together, Mo Jie said: "Li Yi is injured, let him rest here when he wakes up, and the two of us will go in to find the monkeys." ”

Zhou Xiusheng hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not good to leave him here alone, if the giant ant comes, his life will be lost." ”

Mo Jie said: "It's okay, let's go deeper into the cave, if the giant ant really comes, we will meet it first, and then we can run back and take him with us." ”

Zhou Xiusheng thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he didn't object again. After half a ring, Li Yi woke up, and the two of them helped him sit up and explained the situation to him. Li Yi nodded in agreement, and Mo Jie left his dagger to Li Yi and walked with Zhou Xiusheng to the depths of the cave.

This time, Mo Jie asked Zhou Xiusheng to walk in front, and the two groped their way to the place where the five of them met the giant ants, and the giant ants were nowhere to be seen, Zhou Xiusheng stepped forward and picked up the dagger that he had dropped on the ground earlier. The white moon mushrooms have not changed from when everyone fled, which means that the monkeys have not returned.

Mo Jie carefully identified the marks on the ground and said, "They must be running deeper, let's go inside to find them." ”

Walking further in, Zhou Xiusheng felt uneasy, at this time they were getting farther and farther away from Li Yi, he always felt that Li Yi would encounter some danger, but seeing Mo Jie's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to go inside.

After walking forward for a distance, there was a fork in front of them, and the two had to stop, carefully observing the traces at the intersection but not finding anything, obviously the monkey and Zhang Shaofan ran in a hurry, and they didn't have time to leave a mark at the intersection.

Mo Jie gritted his teeth and said, "By luck, you said to go over there?" ”

Zhou Xiusheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Right!" ”

"Okay!" Mo Jie responded and turned around and entered the hole on the right first, and Zhou Xiusheng hurriedly followed.
