Chapter 400: The End of the Ants
Tens of thousands of dark red ants crawled around the corpse, frantically biting the flesh on the corpse, a large number of ants poured into the mouth, and in some places the flesh was completely torn open to reveal the white bones.
What's even more creepy is that the ants are still pouring out of the cracks in the stones.
Thorin picked up the flashlight and shone it on his head, and he didn't know when the ceiling of the temple was full of ants, these little ones were inconspicuous one or two, but the number in front of him was terrifying.
There were so many ants, crowded together in layers, like a wriggling wall, and ants kept falling from the ceiling, as if it was raining.
"Get up, get up, everybody get up!" Thorin yelled and stepped back, kicking the other guys who were still asleep as he retreated.
The mercenaries were all awakened, and when they found the ants, they crowded to the door one by one.
The movement of the crowd shook the walls, and immediately the fellows were also agitated, and the ants on the corpses quickly scattered and crawled to the ground, joining the army of ants, all of whom crowded together and rushed towards the door, rushing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, everyone saw an even more terrifying scene.
When the ant climbed down from the corpse, all the flesh and skin of the guy's skull were eaten, revealing Bai Sensen's bones.
I don't know if he died and was eaten, or if he was bitten alive by ants.
Even mercenaries who are accustomed to seeing the world are frightened one by one when they see this moment. They raised their weapons one after another, you squeeze me, I squeeze you, their faces were shocked and overwhelmed.
"I said there is a problem, this is the curse of the mountain god, we are all cursed, Elysium Island is the place of the gods, the ghost of the pirate king has been roaming the island all the time, and no one can leave here." A mercenary of South Asian descent suddenly shouted.
He clasped his hands and kept chattering in English and Hindi.
As he spoke, the guy knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"I've told you many times that Elysium is hell, we disturbed the Pirate King, he won't let us leave, only kneel down and expect to get the Pirate King's forgiveness, don't you think it's all weird?" South Asians said.
None of the others spoke.
It was pitch black outside, it was raining heavily, and there were pirates in the woods, so going out was undoubtedly going to death.
Behind the location of the temple was a large rock on a ridge, and the rest of the place was occupied by the temple, which was condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was simply a perfect place to defend it, and they would never leave until they had to.
"What are you talking about?" Thorin frowned.
"Storm, you all see, this storm has rolled up the big trees, but when we came here before, the island was very densely vegetated, and there were trees everywhere, that is, there had not been such a storm for a long time, but the storm came not long after we came, it is not a coincidence, it is we who have offended the ghost of the Pirate King, it is he who is punishing us, we will all die, we will all die."
The South Asian stared at his eyes with an exaggerated expression, and the whole person had a mental problem, and his whole body trembled and panicked, which was obviously schizophrenia.
Everyone was already very nervous, and everyone panicked even more when the South Asians said this. Immediately, there were people who chimed in with the South Asians.
"Yes, that's it, it's a damn hell, it's a cursed place, and we shouldn't be here."
The faces of the vast majority of people are full of uneasiness, for them used to be smooth sailing, fighting pirates, destroying opponents, and running rampant, even a few days before arriving at Elysium Island was very smooth, cannibals are not worth mentioning in them, and tourists are not afraid to be killed by them.
But everything changed two days ago.
The general fled, the pirates came, the Exocet was bombed, and in the morning they suffered a devastating blow, and most of them were buried on the island of Elysium. Bashan Academy
Everyone's spirits were tense and panicked.
But their despair did not end.
The superstorm is coming, and it's a powerful force they can't match.
The will of the mercenaries is gradually destroyed in the face of the fury of nature, and they begin to doubt life and those ancient legends.
The Pirate King's treasure is a curse, and it is rumored that no one who touches it will die well, and all this seems to indicate that this curse is true.
So they bowed down and prayed for peace of mind.
But this was a joke in Thorin's eyes, pulling out the dagger and stepping forward, it was a knife into the chest of the South Asian, and then kicked the South Asian out of the air, fell into the ant colony, he struggled to get up, Thorin raised his hand and flew out with another knife, right in the throat of the South Asian.
The South Asian clutched his throat and fell to the ground, unable to get up again, and countless ants climbed up the South Asian man's body, drowning him like a tide.
"Now that I've got the final say, whoever dares to talk nonsense will kill whoever I want, does anyone else have an opinion?" Thorin swept everyone away viciously.
The scene was silent.
"It's good, it's just ants, isn't it that terrible, don't many of you have wine on you, take it out, pour it on the ground and burn them."
Thorin took the flask out of his body and spilled it into the colony, and the other mercenaries immediately did so, and those with wine poured out their lamps and threw them into the ant pile.
It didn't take long for the temple to fill the temple with a strong smell of alcohol, and the ants didn't feel anything unusual, and the powder flew past the wine and rushed to the door.
Thorin picked up a lamp and ripped off the tab, and the lamp immediately burst into a dazzling glow.
The flare crossed a parabola in the air and fell into the ant colony, and all the drinks were ignited instantly, forming a wall of fire in the ant pile, and quickly spreading.
The ants were burned, and their bodies curled up together, crackling.
These ants have no natural predators on Elysium, but they are confronted by humans, who know their shortcomings well, and they are not worth mentioning in the face of flames.
The ant's body burned in the flames, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of burning.
Most of the ants were buried in the fire, and some of the remaining ants retreated one after another, retreating to the innermost, not daring to take another half step forward.
The mercenaries all smiled at this scene, and the temperature of the flames also warmed the temple, and one by one they sat down again against the stone wall.
Rainy nights are always the longest and hardest, but they are also the safest, because the darkness will make other enemies unable to move, mercenaries, pirates, tourists, everyone is waiting for the dawn to come.
The storm was getting lighter, and in the second half of the night the wind and waves had subsided sharply, and although it was still raining lightly, everything was more or less normal than usual.
In the dark night, Li Chaoyang and Tong Fei were still adrift at sea, until they hit a reef and stuck the speedboat, and the two of them came back to their senses.
But when they looked up, they saw a black silhouette, it was Elysium.
They're back.
