At this time, the sky outside the door was still unclear, and the street was completely covered with a layer of grayish blue.

Hearing Niu Kelian's words, we were all stunned.

Xiao Nan was the first to speak to break the silence: "Uncle Niu, I'm still young, I won't get on this car." ”

I don't know if there is an old driver in this world, after Xiao Nan's reminder, I hurriedly held back my smile and almost laughed out loud.

However, Niu Kelian's next words made me unable to laugh anymore.

"It's full of ants outside, densely packed with ants, you can't see the edge at a glance, it won't be long before you arrive in Rock City, hurry up!"

Phyllis hurriedly comforted: "Uncle Niu, you say slowly, what kind of ant is it?" Rush you like this? ”

Niu Kelian was so anxious that he stomped his feet, only to see him hurriedly say: "Marching ants!" Desert Marching Ants! ”

The three words marching ant are much more useful than ants, just hearing these three words, the faces of the three of us turned white at the same time.

If you don't come to this world, if you want to talk about ants before you come to this world, it is really a creature that poses no threat to humans, after all, it is very small, and it rarely takes the initiative to attack humans, even if it is an ant with poison in the body, poison cannot kill people. It can be said that for humans, ants are a relatively cute kind of insects.

But there are no absolutes in everything, and there is a kind of ant in this world, which makes people talk about the color change - marching ants.

These ants have strong jaws and a much stronger bite than ordinary ants, and when hunting, they will form different attack groups to fight together, like professional soldiers with strong weapons, hence the name.

Marching ants prefer to live in groups, with the largest colonies consisting of one or two million individuals.

Marching ants belong to the migratory class of ants, unlike ordinary ants, they do not build nests at all, they are constantly moving, finding and eating all prey from birth, once entangled by marching ants, the prey will be anesthetized by their venom, and the remaining marching ants will shave their prey like the most dedicated bone collectors, leaving only a white skeleton.

No matter how powerful the creatures are, once they fall into the encirclement of the marching ants, they should wait to become white bones, even if Hua Tuo is alive, it will be useless.

If the marching ants had been in the past, I would have been frightened, but I wouldn't have panicked, because the marching ants have a weakness that makes them no threat to humans, and that is that they travel very slowly.

As long as the prey they target is not in a completely enclosed environment and moves much faster than the marching ants, it is completely easy to shake off their prey.

But now it's completely different, what a weird world it is? The size of human beings has been reduced by dozens of times, and in contrast, the marching ants of this world are definitely not as small as we imagined, and their movement speed must not be as slow as we imagined.

Niu Kelian kept urging: "Hurry up, it's too late if you don't leave." ”

Knowing that the stakes were high, we didn't dare to waste more time, so we grabbed the luggage we could take away and hurriedly ran out of the door.

Taking advantage of this stall, Niu Kelian roughly explained to us what happened:

"This morning, not long after I walked out of Rock City, I felt that something was wrong when I looked at the sand dunes and official roads in the distance, and I didn't think much about it at first, after all, it was still early, and I couldn't see anything clearly, so I didn't care.

It wasn't until the sky gradually brightened that I realized that there was a rumbling sound from the sand dunes and official roads in the distance, and I looked into the distance through the dim light, but I was surprised by the sight in front of me, the original maroon sandstone and the dark yellow Gobi Desert were completely covered by a bright red color at this moment.

They were like a red torrent bursting the embankment, swooping down in the direction of Iwashi.

After asking a few passers-by who were running in the direction of Rock City, I realized that the red torrent was all marching ants, and with such a huge range, how many could there be millions? I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I hurried all the way back. ”

At this time, the alarm bell that had not been used in the city for many years had been sounded, and most of the residents were still asleep, but the streets began to get busy, and countless ant cavalry in silver armor shuttled back and forth through the streets and alleys, shouting as they ran: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! Get out of here! ”

It seems that the city defenders have discovered the vision outside the city, and their performance indirectly confirmed Niu Kelian's words, and I looked up in the direction of Shacheng.

The yellow sand in the distance was all over the sky, and the gray-blue sky in the early morning was directly dyed with a touch of dull yellow.

It seems that the actual situation may be a little more serious than what Niu Kelian said.

At this time, we had a total of three ant cars, one was the property of the Chamber of Commerce, and the other two were brought by Xiao Nan and I from the forest.

"Keep the car, this is the Gobi Desert, if there are no materials on the car, even if we run out, we won't be able to live."

Xiao Nan and Phyllis drove the same ant cart and marched in the middle of the team, I drove the ant cart to the end, and Niu Kelian was at the front, and the three ant carts rushed away under the leadership of Niu Kelian.

This sudden disaster has awakened the entire rock city, many civilians are suspiciously poking their heads out of the windows to inquire about the situation, and many civilians who know the truth are running around the streets, and some of the better conditions have already ridden ants to the outside of the city. Countless ant cavalry kept shuttling through the streets and alleys, urging the people to leave quickly.

Everyone was scurrying around like headless flies, all of them confused by the March ant raid.

Although we have a lot of doubts in our hearts, we know that now is not the time to ask, so we can only bury our heads in the road without stopping.

There were many people who fled in this direction, including ordinary people who spread their feet and ran by themselves, passers-by who rode ants, and even many ant cavalry, who fled in this direction.

Fortunately, the area of Rock Castle is small and there are few residents, and it didn't take long for us to pass through the huge rock barrier outside Rock Castle and come to the outside of the city.

I noticed that the hourglass symbols on the rock barrier, which had been silent, had glowed with a dazzling red glow.

It wasn't until some distance away from the boulder, and there were far fewer pedestrians around, that I had time to shout, "Brother Niu, where did these marching ants come from?" What does it look like? ”

Niu Kelian heard this, but did not answer, but pulled the reins sharply and dragged the ant to a stop.

His sudden action caught us off guard, and we had no time to slow down, so we had to drag the ant in a different direction and almost crash.

At this time, Niu Kelian spoke, but his voice trembled a little:

"Where they came from, I don't know. But ask what they look like...... I think you can look up and see for yourself. ”
