Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Man-Eating Ant Legion
"Fengzi, did you hear any sounds?" Leather Bag asked me.
I nodded, "You heard that too?" It seems to be some kind of crawling sound. So let me tell you something, I just found a few human bones in front of me, and they didn't have a single piece of flesh on them. ”
As I spoke, I turned my flashlight at the corpse just now, and I saw a tide of earthy yellow mud rushing over the corpse towards us.
"Huh? What's that? "Hitting the walls around us, countless tiny strands of earthy yellow crawled out of the cracks in the stone and merged into the tide to our side.
"Ahh One of the people in the group shouted, and when we turned our heads, we saw that the man's face and arms were already crawling with ants. The earthy ant was indeed surprisingly large, the largest being the size of a frog, and the smallest being as big as a frog. The two vices on the head pierced deep into the man's flesh, and with a slight pull upward, he tore off two taels of flesh.
"Man-eating ants! It's fucking man-eating ants! Run~" I don't know who reacted first, and the few at the back of the team have already started to drill back in panic.
"Inside, you can't climb back!" Glasses screamed in a hurry, and everyone ran into the cave in a panic. I turned my head back to see that the buttocks of the people crawling through the hole had turned into bones before they had fully arched back.
A few of the guys, who were scared silly, started shooting at the earthy yellow mud tide behind. "Bang bang~" The bullet hit the hard ground and was quickly bounced, the mud tide was opened one by one, and the ant corpses flew everywhere, and then the back quickly filled in.
"You can't die! Run! The ricochet hurts the innocent! "The glasses are almost hysterical.
I must be the one who spares my life the most, and from the moment someone shouts that this thing eats people, Leather Bag and I are brave enough to rush to the front - run for your life. I panicked and ran to the deepest part of the cavern with some of the men, glasses still yelling at his soldiers at the back of the line. "Gunpowder, gunpowder! This thing is afraid of fire! ”
The corpses of our companions bought us time to survive, and most of them were feasting on the corpses, except for a few ants that could not grab food. But we know that it won't be long. We dumped all the combustible items on the ground that we didn't need for the time being: canvas bags, medical cotton, alcohol, sanitary napkins...... Hey? Who's special mother's sanitary napkin? Whatever it is, none of this matters.
We retreated to a higher ground, and the glasses just smashed the glass bottle containing alcohol with a single shot, and with a "~", the fire snake flew up.
The earthy yellow that surged at the front instantly disappeared into the raging flames, accompanied by a crackling explosion.
"Uncle's~" I let out a long sigh, and when I saw that this method was working, we immediately relaxed. It will take some time for all the items on the ground to burn out, because when they first came down from the cave, they encountered such a terrible thing, everyone ran desperately, and the physical exertion was very large, and now the heart was beating to the throat.
We began to find a place to sit and enjoy the bonfire, which would have been better if it weren't for the piles of bones.
Yellow hair rolled up his trouser leg, blood mixed with mud made the leg miserable, and a few stragglers attached to his calf were feasting. Huang Mao grinned with bitten teeth, raised his palm and launched a fierce attack, "Smack!" Syllable! "One slap at a time, the terrible man-eating ant smacked its juice out.
"Impossible, this is Tiantai Mountain, it's not Africa, how can there be man-eating ants!" Leather Bao'er excitedly tugged at the ants on his body, and the reality was beyond his cognition.
"What is a man-eating ant, why can't Africa have Tiantai Mountain?" I was very different, I didn't show any excitement because I didn't have any idea about this kind of thing.
Ignoring the two ants hanging from their arms, the glasses jumped up and down in the panicked crowd, checking everyone's injuries. "Cheer up, cheer up! Isn't it just an ant, afraid of an egg! Out of kindness, I slapped the arm of the glasses, and he immediately raised his fist and looked at me vigilantly. Frightened, I quickly spread out my hand and pointed to the corpse in my hand, "I helped you kill you." ”
Leather Bag didn't bother to explain to me that a heavy man-eating ant somehow managed to crawl into his crotch. He's busy unstaking right now, saving his life.
We watched him giggle as we tore at the ants off his body. Originally, we were expected to avoid a catastrophe, and the fire line on the ground could burn most of the ants to death, at least block their path, so that we had enough time to rest. But we didn't expect that this comfort lasted less than five minutes, and we felt that something was wrong.
"Look! Look! Someone in the crowd shouted.
The line of fire on the ground did block a wave of ants that wanted to rush over at first, but as the corpses were eaten, the ants behind them gathered more and more, and gradually more than ten centimeters of thickness accumulated behind the line of fire.
We looked across through the flames, and a large amount of earthy yellow color gathered more and more, and when it was about fifteen centimeters, the organized army began to gather frantically towards the center, and after a while, it gathered into a spherical shape.
"What are they going to do?" Huang Mao asked.
"Tactics, tactics! Run~" This time the glasses reacted first, and he kicked the people who were paralyzed on the ground one by one. As soon as Leather Bao'er pulled the huge ant worm out of his crotch, he was pushed and fell in by the panicked crowd, "Your uncle! ”
I still didn't know what they were panicking about, and I ran in the midst of the people who were fleeing in a hurry. I looked back and saw that the huge earthy yellow sphere had begun to pass into the fire, and as soon as it touched the line of fire, the circle of ants wrapped around the outside quickly turned to ashes. Each ant has only a few tenths of a second of a chance to touch the ground, and most of them have already turned into ash in mid-air before they can touch the ground.
The width of the line of fire was about half a meter, and the huge earthy yellow fireball had no intention of stopping after burning the first layer of defense. Immediately the second layer of ant colonies began to burn, "Horn! Boom! Poof! "Billions of living beings are burning in the fire.
I was deeply shocked by the sight of man-eating ants crossing this hellish gate with their lives. This is the tactic that the glasses say, the tactics of the man-eating ant legion. I was so excited by this life-and-death style that I almost wrote a poem, but I suddenly saved myself of boredom, and when the army of man-eating ants rolled over completely, we would all be their feast.
"Run, what are you doing in a daze!" Seeing that I didn't catch up, the bag hurriedly ran back to pull me.
"Run! Run it uncle! "I woke up and screamed. The third layer of ants wrapped in the earthy yellow sphere has burned out, burning the old, weak, sick and disabled, and all that remains is the main force the size of a frog, fierce and strong.
I ran with the army into the cave with all my might, and when I glanced back, the earthy orb had rolled over.
