"You, out of the ranks." The strange ant shouted at Number 4 in the crowd.

"Me?" Number 4 held out two hands to block the red light that hit his face.

"Yes."

"Oh." Number 4 took a few steps forward, gradually breaking away from the crowd.

"Hmph." The strange ant smiled as he continued to fiddle with the light source in his hand to find a new target, and soon the red light stayed on the other person.

"You're out of the ranks, too." The strange ant looked at this person with a smile in his small eyes.

This person is number 1.

Hmph, I see you bastard just trying to make things difficult for me No. 1!

Although extremely reluctant, Number 1 had to open his legs because he had no choice in this dark world.

Although the order cannot be disobeyed, in order to show that he is not at the mercy of others, Number 1 slows down as much as possible, so slow that every step is like being in a swamp.

"Hmph." The strange ant saw No. 1's thoughts at a glance, but he was not in a hurry, but stared at the other party silently with a smile on his face.

Not only the strange ant in front of him, No. 1 felt that nearly two hundred pairs of fiery eyes behind him were staring at him.

Although no one spoke, silence was better than sound at this time.

There seemed to be two knives hidden in each pair of eyes, making Number 1 more and more uncomfortable and unbearable.

Gradually, he could no longer make a slow motion with his left hand and right hand, but ran forward as if he were running away.

Hmph, fight with me? You're still tender!

The Strange Ant turned his face away with a smile and continued to look for a new target.

The red light swung back and forth in the black-pressed crowd, but it didn't stop once.

After a while, the strange ant shook his head slightly, and then announced loudly to everyone: "Everyone, the three groups have been divided!" ”

The crowd exploded.

"Divided?"

"Is that a good idea?"

"What about me?"

"How many groups am I?"

"Where did the three groups come from?"

In the midst of this noisy sound, the strange ant unhurriedly took out a gray-white bone whistle from his arms, and then slowly latched it into his mouth.

"Huh~"

The bone whistle whistled a long whistle.

A high-pitched and loud voice instantly quieted the boiling crowd.

The strange ant retracted the bone whistle and stopped speaking, as if waiting for something silently.

Although the crowd was quiet, everyone felt that there was still a sharp whistle in their ears that pierced their eardrums.

"Strange Ant Lord......" gradually ran over from a distance, carrying the same red light in his hand, and the red light swayed up and down as he ran.

The rumbling footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the silhouette of the comer was becoming clearer.

It's an Earth Demon with a similar stature to the Strange Ant.

"Lord Strange Ant, is there anything to summon me at this time?" The man who started the first had already come to the strange ant, and his physical fitness was excellent, and although he came in a wild run, he did not have a trace of gasping or trembling when he spoke.

"Mera, introduce you to a new friend." As he spoke, the strange ant beckoned to No. 4 not far away, "You, come here." ”

"Oh." Number 4 nodded and walked over.

"What do you call it?" The ant stood on tiptoe, stretched out his hand as far up as he could, and patted No. 4 on the shoulder affectionately.

Hmph, dwarf winter melon, and there are two.

Number 1, who was standing nearby, had been watching the ant's every move with a dark face.

"Number 4."

"Number four?" The strange ant was obviously taken aback, "Okay, number 4 will be number 4." You were the best of all in the darkness just now, no, I should say that you were the only one who did a good job. This shows that you have a certain amount of courage, so you should follow this Mistress Mera now. ”

"Me?" Number 4 pointed at himself with a confused expression.

Although he has an excellent memory, No. 4's brain is no different from that of other turtle people, so he still can't fully understand the intentions of Lord Strange Ant.

"Yes, that means you've been placed in my group." Mera walked over to Number 4, "I don't see any courage on your part yet, but I absolutely trust the judgment of Lord Strange Ant. The work of my group can only be done by those who have courage. ”

"Oh." Number 4 seems to have understood, but the fog in his eyes has not completely dissolved.

"Let's go!"

Mistress Mera took No. 4 away, and the first group was finished.

"Strange Ant~"

As soon as Mera left, another guy of the same size ran over with the same red light.

It's just that his physical fitness is too far behind Mera, he half-squatted beside the strange ant, and simply put the red light on the ground, crossed his hands on his waist, and gasped for breath.

"Qianhe, your reaction speed is too slow." The strange ant said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Qi, Lord Strange Ant, it's not that I'm slow, I'm even, even earlier than Lord Mera came out, it's just him, he runs faster." Qianhe's breath hadn't even yet.

Hmph, another dwarf winter melon!

Number 1 looked at Chiwa, who was half-crouched on the ground, with a mocking smile.

"Come here." The strange ant suddenly slapped the light on Number One's face.

Hmph, it means I'm going to be grouped too, and this weak dwarf winter melon is my future boss?

Hmph, it's ugly.

No. 1 thought to himself as he reluctantly walked towards the strange ant.

When No. 1 walked up to the two of them, Chiwa gasped and slowly straightened up.

But the strange ant didn't even look at No. 1, but shouted at the large group of people in front of him: "Listen to me, everyone showed similar fear and panic in the face of the darkness just now, and I think everyone's courage is basically the same." So, all of you are now following this Senhe-sama. ”

"Everybody come with me!"

After Qianhe finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the strange ant, then turned around and lifted the red light in his hand high, and strode towards the darkness.

A large group of people followed the guidance of the red light one after another and disappeared into the vast darkness.

The murky air seemed to be a little better than it had just been, but it was frighteningly quiet.

At this time, in this large and vast space, only two people, Qi Ant and No. 1, were left.

"Hey." Number 1 finally broke the silence, "Have you forgotten that there is another person here?" ”

"Hmph." The strange ant laughed twice with great mockery and then said, "Of course I haven't forgotten, and I'm deeply impressed by your ugliness just now. ”

"You, what did you say?" Although he knew that he was almost frightened when facing the darkness just now, Number 1 still asked angrily.

"Alright, it's time for us to go."

"Let's go? Where to go? ”

"Hmph, of course I'm taking you to the service." As he spoke, he whispered as he pressed his thick lips to No. 1's ear, "Because you were the worst performer in the dark, you kid was placed in my group. ”

"Huh?"

Before No. 1 could react, he saw the strange ant carrying the red light, turning around, and slowly stepping into the thick darkness.

……

It's been a long walk in the trail on the left.

The view from the trail is still beautiful.

Green grass, colorful flowers, transparent mirrors, tofu dregs.

That's right, and the tofu residue that has just been discovered.

A lot of tofu crumbs were scattered on the grass, and from a distance it looked like a layer of frost had formed on the grass.

"These," Mr. Poker said affirmatively, squatting on the ground, carefully examining the crumbs of tofu, "like rats." ”

"Huh? Mouse? Lingling suddenly screamed.

Although the spirit was not afraid of death when she was on the ark, the rat still made this little girl in her early teens tremble.

"yes, it should be not far ahead, but it should be a big guy." Master Poker stood up.

"Big, big guy......" Lingling's voice suddenly trembled.

"Lingling." Master Poker turned his head and said softly, "If you stay here, Ziqi and I will go to the front to check first, and after making sure that there is no danger, we will pick you up again." ”

"No, no. At noon, the beast will eat, and now there may not even be an hour, and we have no time to waste. I, I'm fine. Lingling said hurriedly.

"Alright, then you can follow us." Ziqi stood in front of Lingling and said.

"Okay."

The three of them continued towards the end of the path on the left.

"Everyone, do you think the fragrance of flowers has become stronger?" Lingling, who was walking at the back, suddenly asked.

"Hmm." After speaking, Master Poker sniffed vigorously, "It seems to have become thicker." ”

"I noticed it too." Ziqi said as he walked, "This seems to be something that happened after entering the path on the left. ”

"Yes." Ling Ling continued, "Lord Poker, Brother Ziqi, apart from the growing fragrance of flowers, do you have any other feelings? For example, dizziness? ”

"Dizzy? I didn't have it at all. Said the poker master who was at the front.

"I'm fine, too." Ziqi said.

He did feel that his eyes were getting more and more messy, more and more unrecognizable.

But Ziqi thinks this is the reason why he has been in this world of mirrors and flowers for too long.

"Well, maybe I'm overthinking." Lingling said.

The three of them continued to walk forward, and the path was winding and twisting, as if there was no end.

Gradually, a feeling of nausea like turning over the river and the sea came to Lingling's heart, and the world in front of him became more and more gray and blurred.

Lingling stopped, thinking that she was too tired and wanted to adjust her breathing first.

But in the mouth, everywhere in the nose is a strong floral fragrance. As if the aroma was squeezing out the oxygen in the air, Lingling felt that his breathing was getting heavier and harder.

Ziqi and Master Poker, who were walking in front of Lingling, did not stop.

In sight, the two figures gradually faded away.

Lingling gasped for air as she slowly stretched out a small hand forward.

She suddenly found herself trying to scream loudly, but she couldn't make any sound in her throat.

The eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and the whole world began to spin in front of my eyes.

Lingling closed his eyes in pain, although the spinning world disappeared in an instant, the strong fragrance of flowers was still drilling into his mouth and nose.

"Boom!"

Finally, the overwhelmed spirit fell on the grass that paved the path.
