Chapter 297: Burning the Marching Ants
On the side of the cave, Mu Ping followed Kuka to the depths of the spider cave, and along the way they saw bat corpses all over the ground, as well as a few big spiders curled up with eight legs, these spiders were beyond Mu Ping's imagination, falling on the ground like a smashed big watermelon, the ground was full of slimy things, countless marching ants were eating frantically, they formed a Mia army dozens of meters long and more than half a meter wide, carrying the corpses of bats and spiders, at first glance, it seemed that these things came to life again.
When the flashlight shines, you can see the marks of being burned everywhere.
Li Chaoyang did not lie, everything he said was true.
The dark red marching ants were densely packed, and Mu Ping's goosebumps rose when he saw it.
Even the cannibals stopped, Kuka waved his hands and retreated one after another, and Mu Ping ran away when he saw this, and was the first to rush out.
"How's it going? Does the front make sense? Chen Yaodong asked.
"Ants, there are a lot of ants in it, a lot of them." Mu Pingpao's breathlessness was out of breath, his feeling was getting more and more wrong, and he always felt that this trip would take his life.
So he just wanted to go home.
"It's very dangerous in the cave, there are bat corpses everywhere, and we also saw spiders the size of a basin, which can bite off an arm in one bite, and we people are going to die when we go in, it's too scary." Mu Ping deliberately exaggerated the facts, and pretended to be extremely frightened.
Qi Wei called Kuka over, Kuka's expression was very excited, gesturing while talking, and constantly shaking his hand.
"Look, he means he's not going to leave, is he?" Zhang Jianjun walked up with a gun on his shoulder, and it seemed that such a result had been expected by him.
"He said that there was a red whirlwind inside, and it was probably about ants, which were the evil gods they feared the most, and as long as they were caught up, they would turn into a pile of white bones, and even stones could be eaten, so he advised us to find a way to turn back, even if we took the main road, we were not willing to take this road, I suspect he was talking about marching ants, this kind of ants have no grass where they pass, even the jaguar can't escape their claws, and there are almost no opponents in the rainforest." Even Qi Wei hesitated.
The three words marching ants are like a hammer in everyone's chest, and anyone with a little common sense knows how terrible marching ants are, and there are hundreds of millions of them.
"Yes, yes, it's marching ants, I've seen it on TV before, and it's rumored that a guerrilla force of more than 100 people was eaten by them overnight, and only the bones were left." Mu Ping hurriedly took over the topic.
As soon as he said this, everyone present showed frightened expressions, spiders with large basins, bats all over the ground, and marching ants, which was simply impossible to play.
Everyone was talking about how to retreat, and a few slaves quietly retreated to the edge of the cliff.
"Smack!"
A gunshot rang out, and the slave at the back fell to the ground with a bullet in the forehead.
Everyone was startled by the gunfire and shut their mouths.
It was Zhang Jianjun who shot him, he glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "Whoever dares to run away will be your fate, and there is no retreat?" ”
The scene was silent, and the needles could be heard.
"It doesn't seem to be, this is very good, why should you go, go in with Lao Tzu in a while."
Sometimes violence is not the best way to solve the problem, but it must be the fastest, Zhang Jianjun's method is simple and crude, and the effect is remarkable.
Even Chen Yaodong laughed.
"Okay, that's a good idea, I'm thinking about how to improve morale." Chen Yaodong said.
"These people are all used to it, they don't clean up, they used to be filial sons under the sticks, I add now, the people are out under the bullets, but what they say should be true, what do you think?"
Zhang Jianjun is not a fool, scared and frightened, but they must also come up with specific methods.
"Fire, whether it's bats, spiders or marching ants, they are afraid of fire, we can bring a little more torches and weeds, and when the time comes, we can solve them by opening the way with fire, don't forget, we still have guns and grenades, it wasn't a problem in the past." Chen Yaodong's mind spun fast, and he thought of a countermeasure in an instant.
"Okay, it's still thoughtful, so I'll do it."
This time into the cave Chen Yaodong they made full preparations, everyone went out together to collect a large amount of firewood and hay nearby, too damp to make a fire on the spot to dry, Kuka also thought of a way, he picked some branches and leaves from the nearby cliff wall and bundled them together, after igniting the wet leaves will produce a lot of smoke, dealing with bats and spiders have a miraculous effect.
In addition, each person is equipped with thumb-thick branches, which are quite flexible and crackle with a light draw, and are specially used to whip bats, and the bullets are limited, which is more effective against countless bat branches.
When everything was ready, everyone walked into the spider cave, and several torches lit up the cave in front and behind.
Last time, Li Chaoyang and the others lit the spider web, causing the entire cave wall to be blackened, there were burn marks everywhere, and the ground was full of bat corpses.
Everyone has also seen the big spider that Mu Ping said.
It's amazing, but it's only amazing, not scary.
In the blazing firelight, the long line was like a burning dragon.
Soon everyone was in front of the marching ants, who were so preoccupied with carrying the carcasses of spiders and bats that they were completely unaware of the danger that was coming.
Chen Yaodong ordered the men to lay a line of defense with hay at the front, and once the marching ants got out of control, they set fire to the hay to stop them from advancing.
Guo Mingming walked to the front with Kuka, and they lit the hay and threw it into the ant pile.
The marching ants that were still in order just now were in chaos in an instant, the ants were ignited under the scorching flames, the crackling sound of burning, there was a strange smell of burnt paste in the air, all the ants scattered and fled, it was too late for them to return to the cave, and the cave wall was lit with flames more than one meter high, forming a wall of fire.
These emaciated guys were simply vulnerable in the face of the fire, and they had no choice but to run forward, Guo Mingming led people to follow behind, and while advancing, he used torches to roast the ants on the ground, and those who did not have torches were trampled on with their feet, and the huge marching ant team was completely defeated in front of the flames.
Smoke filled the cave, and bats flew out of the cave walls.
Kuka hurriedly ordered everyone to crouch down, and raised the torch in his hand to avoid being attacked by the bats.
The billowing smoke caused problems in the bats' perception ability, and many bats lost their direction and turned into headless flies, one after another hit the cave wall, dizzy and fell, and for a time it rained dense bats.
There were so many bats that they showed no signs of weakness after flying for a long time, they were like enraged wasps, flapping their wings and flying out of the cave, and some of them attacked the crowd, but everyone gathered around the fire, and the bats hit as long as they dared to approach the branches in their hands, and they could pull down several of them with a stick.
It didn't take long for a thick layer of bat carcasses to be piled up on the ground.
Eventually, the bats flew away, the cave was completely silent, the marching ants were gone, the spiders were gone, and all the enemies were gone.
