Chapter 61: The Giant Ant and the Pendant
He finally saw the traces of the human gathering point, but the encounter with the previous three made him have to take some precautions. It would be absolutely stupid to go straight in like that.
Wu Yun looked left and right, and on the right side of the road were some sparse grass and reddish-brown earth, and on the left was a continuous mountain range, and the appearance of the red hard rock was very conspicuous against the background of the lush forest around him.
He turned his head and turned to the left side of the road, and he had to find a safe place to hide the car and wait for the right opportunity to come back again. And the mountains should be much easier to find. After all, there will be quite a few ravines or caves and the like.
He drove the motorcycle for a while, and gradually he realized that something was wrong, and the closer he got to the mountains. The turf on the ground became scarcer, and the ground was crisscrossed with ruts of varying widths, and it was evident that there were cars going back and forth from time to time. But he can't care so much now, he can only take one step at a time.
Wu Yun searched for a long time, and finally found a half-human-tall shrub in the forest. He pushed the bike cautiously. He had to find a suitable place to hide his motorcycle for a long time, and it was a hassle to ride a bike.
He began to search around, and after this period of training, he was now gradually getting used to life in the woods. Xiao Lei once taught that for an unfamiliar environment, it is best to be quiet first, and then listen carefully for a while. See if you can spot sounds like water sources or monsters. Now he did as he was told, and in a short time he noticed a small sound in the distance.
At first, he thought it was the sound of flowing water, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was a rustling sound, and it seemed to be mixed with the sound of cries for help.
"Help~" This time it was clear that a male shout came from a distance on the right behind him. Wu Yun thought for a while, and hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from.
He walked through the woods over a small hill, where a black ant the size of a calf was slowly moving towards a man dressed in a tattered gray cloak. I couldn't see his face at all, but the miserable cry for help was from him.
Wu Yun has also seen large ants near Maduo Village. However, it is much smaller than the guy in front of him, and his body color is also white with a little yellow, which is far less deterrent than the big black guy in front of him.
But no matter how terrifying it is, it's just an ant, and Wu Yun, who has seen a huge centipede, is not so afraid. Your own slingshot should still be able to cope with it. Thinking of this, he suddenly drew his slingshot. A steel ball flew over.
"Smack!" The steel ball hit the round tail shell of the giant ant, and the crisp sound immediately alarmed the giant ant and the man. The giant ant turned its head, its head densely covered with long hairs like slender reeds, and in the middle of its head were two long, thick steel bar-like antennae, and on each side of it was a huge broad bean-like eye distributed on either side of the head. Under the ant's head, two huge pincers like a waning moon trembled slightly.
Wu Yun saw that the other party was not injured at all, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with the part where he shot. He quickly raised his hand to aim at the wheel-sized head for another shot. Wu Yun knew that ant antennae had the same function of identifying directions as amoebea. But he was basically not sure about hitting these two small targets. So he just wanted to hit the head to be successful.
The shell of the giant ant was obviously not so easy to penetrate, but the head was not so comfortable to be hit by this swift steel ball. The giant ant was enraged at once. It quickly pounced in Wu Yun's direction.
Wu Yun had already thought of a way out before he made a move, and a guy with such a large volume would definitely not be too convenient in the forest, so it would be good to pull it in. Ever since his fight with the shark bear, he has been very concerned about his surroundings, hoping to take advantage of them in battle or escape.
The giant ant chased after it, and sure enough, its huge size caused it to move back and forth on the outskirts of the trees, and Wu Yun took advantage of the gap between the trees to shoot at the manic giant ant.
"Be careful~" The man lying on the ground in the distance shouted, and from his angle, he could clearly see that the giant ant's abdomen had shrunk a lot.
The two were not far away, and his voice immediately reached Wu Yun's side. His attention was all on the ant's head, and he noticed that the ant's upper and lower jaws suddenly opened at a strange angle, which he had never seen before. Wu Yun realized that something was wrong, and he didn't bother to turn around and jump back. As soon as he stepped on the air with both feet, the whole person flipped down with a fight.
"Puff~" Streams of green liquid squirted out of the giant ant's mouth, and they swept through the air. It splashed like a torrential rain on the trees not far away. After a few seconds or so, the ant stopped, its belly deflated like a deflated balloon, and the ant became languishing. It glanced at the place where Wu Yun had disappeared. Turning around, he slowly walked away into the distance, leaving the gray-cloaked man lying there alone, obviously seriously wounded. Only the slightly heaving chest proves that he is not dead.
Wu Yun flipped to the bottom of the hill with a bucket, and rolled continuously before stopping, and he didn't know where the slingshot in his hand had been thrown. When he finds the slingshot and gets back to where he is. The giant ants outside the forest are long gone. Instead, there was a strong, pungent smell, and he held his breath and climbed up. He was astonished by the sight of the trees that had stood there as a barrier like melted candles, apparently caused by some strong acid. It seems that this is what the man reminded himself to be careful.
By the way, that guy?! Wu Yun then remembered his original intention of coming here, and he hurriedly rushed out of the forest, the man was still lying there, and there was no shadow of giant ants around him. He hurried over.
"Are you alright?" Wu Yun immediately regretted his question. The man's gray cloak was pitch black on its belly. There was also a pungent smell of the forest, Wu Yun gently flicked it with a slingshot, and the original gray fabric rotted as soon as it was touched, revealing the yellow shirt inside, and the shirt was also soaked with the acid. It looked like the acid had gotten to his skin. But his only bottle of ginseng pill powder has also been used, and it is difficult to say whether the ginseng pills are effective against these acids.
"What should I do if I don't have ginseng pills on me?" Wu Yun asked anxiously.
"Please bring me to..." The man's eyes opened slightly, and he raised his hand tremblingly slightly, laboriously pointing his finger in the direction behind him.
"Far or close?" Wu Yun had to determine the specific location. He was worried that the man wouldn't be able to resist for long.
"Let's go with this... The man didn't know where to take out something and put it in Wu Yun's hand, and then he tilted his head and passed out.
"And so on. . . Wait a minute. Wu Yun looked down and saw that a black pendant with a metallic luster was quietly placed in the palm of his hand, and a chain of the same material surrounded it.
Wu Yun pinched the pendant with his fingers. It was a small four-pointed star, as if the four sides of a correct "ten" had been sharpened.
How does this work? Looking at the man who had passed out, he couldn't help frowning.
Wu Yun has seen the method of measuring the direction of a magnetic needle on the water surface. But this shouldn't be so troublesome. He pinched one end of the chain and lifted it up.
To his surprise, the star-shaped pendant was not pulled up as he had imagined, but floated at an oblique angle! It's as if there's an invisible hand underneath it. Wu Yun touched it lightly, and the four-pointed star spun like a crooked spinning top, and it took a long time to stop. Still floating there crookedly as before.
He looked closely at the four corners of the star, and sure enough, there was one with a golden dot on it. But it's too small to be seen without looking closely, and at this point, no matter how stupid Wu Yun is, he knows the meaning of the man's words.
He hurriedly picked up the man and quickly ran back to the BMW motorcycle, he was not like a fat man, and it was not a big deal to carry a person over the mountains and mountains, after all, it was a brain disease to have such a convenient means of transportation without use. As for the question of how long the man can resist, he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
He tied the yellow-dotted corner with a thin straw stick and put the pendant around his neck. It's much more convenient that way.
Wu Yun started the motorcycle, and on his chest was the slightly floating star pendant. The end with the sketch mark is facing straight ahead. Wu Yun drove forward directly without hesitation, and now he could only pick a place where he could go and try his best to move forward. There are places that cannot be crossed by motorcycles, so you can only find another way to bypass.
In this way, I stopped and tossed all the way, and for about an hour and a half, the pendant that was originally floating at a small angle on my chest was obviously completely floating, and it had almost become horizontal as a whole, only the corner of the grass root fell a little. Is this the basis for judging the distance between the wearer and the target? If you reach your destination, won't it become completely level?
Looking at the direction it indicated, Wu Yun came to a dense jungle, obviously the motorcycle could not enter, Wu Yun had to hide the car in a corner of the forest, he carried the man in the car and walked in the direction indicated by the pendant.
Trees flashed in front of him, Wu Yun couldn't tell his position at all, and the man on his body felt more and more heavy. His attention was always on the pointed head of the grass root. Watch it lift up little by little. Explain that your judgment is very reasonable.
His legs were heavy, and his consciousness gradually became less clear, and he didn't know how long he had walked, and the pointed head tied to the grass roots had reached the level with the others. When Wu Yun found out, he was already in a dense forest. There is no human presence in the vicinity at all.
Are you wrong? Wu Yun didn't care about reflecting on his own judgment, his legs were black in front of him, and he fell into the dense grass with the man on his back. Almost at the same time, there was a sharp dripping sound from the pendant on his chest...
