Chapter 160 slap in the face, it came so fast

"Sasha Sha...... Salsa Sasa......"

It seemed that the wind was blowing, but Xia Yu and the others didn't feel the coolness of the wind.

Instead, there is a creepy feeling.

"This can't be a ghost, I've heard that this place is a battlefield where two countries are at war, and hundreds of people die every year. ”

The courage of a guard has been small since he was a child, and this place has left the border, thinking of those creepy legends, he suddenly turned pale with fright.

"Xiao Li, don't talk nonsense here, don't forget our identity. Tang Guo, the former captain of Tang Feng's guard, opened his mouth and scolded.

The reason why he said that he was the original captain was because Xia Yu had the captain's sign on his head.

Tang Guo is Tang Feng's distant nephew, and he regards this uncle who makes a lot of money as his backstage.

But he didn't know that his uncle had used Xia Yu as a backstage.

"It's coming, it's really here......" Tang Feng muttered to himself, his face solemn.

The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and a blood-red color appeared in the distance, and the buzzing sound resounded in everyone's ears.

Xia Yu's eyesight was very good, and he could see that this red-like mist was made up of blood-red ants.

These ants are the size of small fingers, with a pair of elytra, long fangs, and blood-red all over their bodies, and even their compound eyes seem to be bloodshot.

A single ant is not scary, but how many ants are there in front of you? 10 million, 100 million, or billions?

No one knows exactly how many of these ants there are, but their numbers are absolutely overwhelming, as if the tide is endless.

"Look, these ants seem to be eating stones. The guard pointed into the distance, his lips trembling, and his face pale.

Everyone raised their eyes and looked carefully, and soon their faces turned pale and bloodless.

This endless stream of ants is indeed eating stones.

In fact, these ants are not just eating stones, they eat everything they encounter on the way, including flowers and trees, and naturally earth and rocks.

"They're coming in our direction, what should we do? Do you want to run away?" someone whispered.

"Run, where to run? They are all over the mountains, endlessly, have you outrun them?"

Someone pointed out this very pessimistically, the speed of the ant colony is extremely fast, like a cloud of black clouds, sweeping across the ground at great speed, destroying everything that stands in its way.

"Don't worry, the direction of the ant colony migration is more than a hundred meters in front of us, and we are safe. ”

I don't know when, Gu Xiaotong was already standing beside everyone and explained.

"A hundred meters in front of us, this is too close, if the ants suddenly change the direction of migration, won't we die?" someone whispered.

"Are you an idiot? Captain Gu asked us to prepare the sulfur in advance, you think it was used as an ornament?"

Captain Tang slapped his subordinates' heads, obviously trembling with fear, but he wanted to show his courage in the face of danger.

The speed of the ant colony is extremely fast, and with the time a few people speak, the ant colony has already flowed in front of everyone like a flood.

The pungent bloody breath, the rumbling thunder, Xia Yu felt that there was a river in front of him.

"Look, what's in the middle of this colony?" someone pointed not far away.

In the middle of the long river of ants, there is a behemoth that is constantly struggling, roaring, revealing helplessness and sadness.

This is a giant python, and it is called giant because it is more than a hundred meters long.

The longest python Xia Yu has ever seen is only twenty or thirty meters, and it is already a fourth-grade demon beast.

The python that appeared in front of everyone was at least five grades, which could be judged from the length of the python and the breath of fierce struggle.

Every struggle of the python made the ground tremble, as if a mountain was jumping repeatedly.

But it doesn't work, the python can kill a thousand ants, 10,000 ants, but it can't kill tens of millions of ants.

If nothing else, this python can only be reduced to the blood food of ants.

"Even the five-grade demon beasts can eat it, if we appear on their migration path, won't we be dead?"

Someone asked a scalp-numbing question, "Fortunately, Captain Gu predicted the ant's migration route in advance, otherwise we would have died a miserable death!"

Everyone looked at Gu Xiaotong with admiration and gratitude, and of course many people's eyes were full of question marks.

For example, how does Captain Gu accurately determine the migration time and path of ants?

"These ants are man-eating ants, and their migration routes are basically fixed, and it is said that there is iron ore buried under this route, and this kind of ant is very much in need of this ore element. ”

Gu Xiaotong opened his mouth and answered everyone's questions, "This point is very clear in the book records, and the only thing that needs to be determined is the specific time of migration."

Generally speaking, these ants migrate every 12 years, and the specific time is determined by combining the amount of rainfall, the time of rainfall, the abundance of food, the direction of the wind, and other factors.

Our team has been calculating these factors these days, and the roughly time to advance the ant's crossing is these two days, combined with the smell of blood in the void, and the time can be basically accurate to the minute. ”

Gu Xiaotong spoke eloquently, his face flashing with wisdom.

Everyone looked at Gu Xiaotong with admiration, worthy of being a goddess genius with an IQ equal to two two hundred and five, if such a girl marries home, I am afraid that there is no room to hide private money.

Even Xia Yu was impressed by Gu Xiaotong, although this chick was a little crazy, she finally had the capital to be crazy.

As if he had guessed Xia Yu's thoughts, Gu Xiaotong glanced at Xia Yu with a slanted eye, with a look of contempt, Danfeng's eyes seemed to be saying that he dared to bet with me?

Xia Yu smiled, it doesn't matter if your IQ is two two hundred and five or three two hundred five, Xia Yu is still confident in the issue of invincibility of the third grade.

Chick, your self-confidence comes from a lot of data analysis and calculations.

But all your data about me is fake, how can you win a tree without roots and a castle in the sky?

Everyone didn't know that the two of them were in eye contact, most of them knew about Xia Yu and Gu Xiaotong's bet, and now they were even less optimistic about Xia Yu.

Looking at the rumbling ant army in front of him, the timid face turned pale, even if Xia Yu was bold, his face was solemn.

Gu Xiaotong's calculation was correct, the edge of the ant army was only about a hundred meters away from everyone.

If it weren't for the fact that he had retreated three hundred meters before, it would have just blocked the route of the ant army, and as for the consequences...... You can refer to the unlucky five-grade python.

In fact, the distance of more than 100 meters is really not safe enough, is there an army of ants who broke away from the team and crawled in the direction of Xia Yu and the others, but when they smelled the pungent sulfur smell, they would stop in front of everyone, waving their claws in vain, and finally crawling in the queue unwillingly.

"How wide is the march route of this army of ants?" someone whispered, looking at the army of ants scattered all over the mountains.

"About ten miles, or even ......more," Gu Xiaotong replied.

"What about the time?"

"It's been almost an hour......"

The ant army finally verified Gu Xiaotong's answer, and after a full hour, the ant army was able to pass, and what appeared in front of everyone was a mess.

Even the rocks in the distance have been cut off by more than half a meter by the ant colony.

"Get in the car, it's okay. Gu Xiaotong clapped his hands and returned to the car.

Soon the convoy started, and everyone was lying on the window to watch the scene of being destroyed by ants outside, which was really miserable.

Everyone saw a lot of huge bones, thinking that they should be powerful demon beasts, but in front of this ant colony, it was really just food.

Everyone was shocked, and they didn't speak, and after a long time, everyone came out of the shock and began to communicate in a low voice, for fear that one would accidentally attract ants again.

After passing through the area destroyed by ants, I drove for half a day again, and I saw low shrubs, these shrubs were not luxuriant, dwarf yellow and yellow, and there were few leaves, and if the wind blew, they could blow off the fallen leaves.

Gu Xiaotong also leaned on the window and looked out, according to the analysis of the data, the fifty miles before and after this place is the safest section of the entire journey, because the road is on both sides of the reckless Gobi, there are no households, no resources, not even many wild beasts, even horse thieves will not come to this kind of place where birds don't.

She leaned on the window and looked out the window, and naturally saw the dwarf yellow bushes, the wilted grass, and the sand on the ground, which reflected a golden sheen in the sunlight.

"Stop!" Gu Xiaotong said suddenly.

This time, there was no need for Tang Feng's orders, and the convoy stopped directly.

Many people even showed the appearance of being a great enemy...... Is this another encounter with man-eating ants? Or is it some other beast?

Gu Xiaotong pulled the car door and walked out quickly, her face full of eagerness and anticipation.

The others didn't know so they followed.

"What's the matter, what's going on? Is there danger again?"

"Everyone get ready for battle, listen to my orders in a moment......"

Gu Xiaotong didn't care what others thought, she just walked quickly to the bushes, broke off half of the dead branches of the bushes, put it under her nose and sniffed, and then nodded.

She plucked two more dead grasses, put them in her mouth and chewed them, a little spicy, but the expected taste.

Finally, he took out a piece of gravel and looked at it in the sunlight, creating a faint circle of light around the gravel.

"Sure enough, sure enough!" Gu Xiaotong's joy was overflowing.

"Captain Gu, what's wrong?" Tang Feng walked over, looked at Gu Xiaotong with a happy face, and asked.

"Mr. Tang, which force does this place belong to?" Gu Xiaotong asked happily.

"This place...... Regardless of the boundary, these two sides are reckless Gobi, which has no value, and no one manages it, if you strictly count it...... It should belong to the Land of Chaos. Tang Feng judged the answer slightly.

"Remember this place...... There are veins in the ground, not a spirit stone mine, but a rare metal mine...... Two degrees of gold!" Gu Xiaotong explained.

Erdu gold is a rare metal material, his biggest feature is sharpness, generally speaking, a pound of gold in a meal of steel, can improve the sharpness of steel more than five times.

The Tang Kingdom's second-degree gold is not much, but the population of the Tang Kingdom is too large, which leads to the overall sharpness of the weapons of the Tang Kingdom.

If you can mine the second gold mine in this place, the conventional weapons of the Tang Kingdom can be upgraded to a level!

"It's a pity that this place is not within the borders, and we can't mine it independently, so we can only cooperate with other forces. Tang Feng sighed.

"There is no need to cooperate, we can't take advantage of other people's cooperation, especially if we are far away from China, at most we just make hard-earned money. Gu Xiaotong shook his head, "I mean remember this place, sooner or later our border army will regain it." ”

"This place is hundreds of kilometers away from the border, not our lost territory. Tang Feng didn't understand, and asked.

"You are wrong, this place can only be said to be not the lost territory of the Tang Kingdom.

From the point of view of our nation, this is indeed a lost territory that should be regained, as early as more than 2,000 years ago, during the time of the Hanliu Empire, our ancestors actually ruled this place.

In fact, it's not just here, our destination this time, the Land of Chaos, was once the place where our ancestors were stationed. ”

Xia Yu heard the Hades King talk about this and told it on this occasion.

Gu Xiaotong looked at Xia Yu in some surprise.

Xia Yu's theory was not unified among the country's top leaders, and some people believed that the border line of the Tang State should stop at the present, and there was no need to restart the war for the land thousands of years ago.

But there are also high-level leaders who believe that in order to achieve the rebuilding of the country and the nation, it is necessary to get back what the ancestors lost, including but not limited to the area where the Land of Chaos is located.

Gu Xiaotong's view is the latter, so she would rather bury this second gold mine in the ground, waiting for future generations, rather than cooperate with other countries.

"There is a simple mineral exploration equipment in the car, and I will test the concentration of ore veins here. Gu Xiaotong said to Tang Feng.

"Wait a minute, the vein is here, and it won't run away with long legs.

I mean let's go to the Land of Chaos first, and we'll talk about it later, and what if there's any danger here, it's in the wilderness?"

Xia Yu reminded at the exit, he could vaguely feel the ground trembling slightly, as if a cavalry was coming in this direction.

"You are the chief guard of President Tang, others are not afraid of danger, but you are afraid?

Gu Xiaotong squinted at Xia Yu, with a look of ridicule and contempt.

"There is no question of whether we are afraid or not, but we have a task on our side, and there is no need to take extra risks. ”

Xia Yu decided not to meet this chick in general, so he was patient and explained in a suppressed voice.

"There's no extra risk, this place is the safest area on the road, and if this place is risky, the risk ahead is even greater. Gu Xiaotong said.

"You're basing your conclusions on the fact that you're calming down, but you know, everything is constantly changing, and you say there's no risk here, what if you're wrong?"

Xia Yu also squinted at Gu Xiaotong, he didn't want to be like her, but this chick's anger was getting bigger and bigger.

"I can't be wrong. Gu Xiaotong sneered, but before her voice fell, a distant wolf howl came from afar.

"Hehe, this slap in the face came so quickly. Xia Yu said.
