Super Ghost Merchant 518 The Only Wood Ant Nest?
However, when Yuebai thought about this, walked to the grave and squatted down, thinking about how he could understand the key issue without digging the grave, several black insects suddenly appeared from the top of the grave and crawled down the edge of the grave, which made Yuebai temporarily distracted.
Yuebai is actually a person who loves to wander his mind, and this is also the biggest obstacle to his inability to concentrate on cultivation.
However, whether or not you can cultivate with peace of mind is no longer a question that should be talked about here, the problem is that Yuebai is actually looking at these black insects at this moment!
"I said, do you have any idea why you let us come back?"
The fat man and the others saw that Yuebai didn't speak for a long time, and then asked out loud after being in a daze, and then, the fat man and the others came over and looked at the grave together, planning to help Yuebai study whether it was the grave together.
However, Yuebai did not answer their inquiry, but pointed to those black insects and asked the fat man and the others, is this a carpenter ant?
"It's a carpenter ant, what's wrong?"
The fat man glanced at the little black ants and nodded, indicating that the other party had guessed correctly.
"It's strange, carpenter ants don't live in wood, why are there so many carpenter ants in this mound?"
"Is the coffin board being invaded by carpenter ants?"
The fat man thought for a while and explained: "Some wooden coffins buried in the ground are easily occupied by ants, didn't it be reported on TV, an ancient coffin was dug up in the field of a certain farmhouse, and the coffin and the corpse in the coffin were all plagued by ants." ”
"The ones you're talking about are common black ants or termites, not these carpenter ants..."
At this time, Mo Long seemed to have discovered something and said: "Although carpenter ants are also social creatures, they do not live underground, in the city, ordinary carpenter ants will live in colonies in wooden furniture, even in the wild, these carpenter ants will settle in the trunk of a tree with thick resin fibers." ”
"That's not enough, these carpenter ants are settled in the wooden coffin under the grave!"
The fat man retorted, "Didn't you see these carpenter ants crawling out of the grave? ”
"That only means that they came out of it, not settled here..."
Mo Long seemed to want to correct the fat man's remarks, but was suddenly interrupted by Yuebai.
"Wait, don't talk yet, let me think about it, I always feel like we're ignoring something!"
After Yuebai said this, his expression instantly became serious, and immediately, the eyebrows above Yuebai's eyes were furrowed, obviously thinking about something.
"Hey, don't think about it yourself..."
The fat man seemed to want to help Yuebai share some brain power, and said: "If you don't understand anything, just say it, we have a lot of strength, and these individuals add a piece, which is much heavier than half a catty of your brain." ”
"Uh... I didn't think about it either, I just thought you two were ignoring something! ”
Yuebai knew that the fat man was kind, so he explained: "Fat man, let me say it according to you first, do you think these carpenter ants settled in the wooden coffin?" ”
"yes!"
The fat man nodded naturally and said, "The wooden coffin is also wood, and according to common sense, it is possible for the carpenter ants to live in a moth-eaten nest on the wooden coffin board." ”
"Well, just according to your words!"
Yuebai said: "But if it is the kind of situation you said, the carpenter ant burrowed into the ground from the soil of the grave, and bit through the wooden coffin and settled, does this mean that the air inside and outside the tomb has been connected, causing the dead corpses inside to come into contact with the fresh air and can no longer be transformed?" ”
"Uh... Seems so! ”
The fat man hesitated, but did not deny it, and nodded.
"Okay, this is a conclusion, corpses can't be turned into zombies and demon corpses, so they can't cast evil spells on us, let us come back!"
Yuebai took a deep breath, speculated on the fat man's statement, and denied that the return of himself and the others was not caused by the corpses in the grave.
Then, Yuebai, who had just come to a conclusion, looked at Mo Long again, and followed closely, and the former asked the other party with a serious face: "Boss Mo, you said that carpenter ants in the wild are settled in the trunks of trees with thick fibers, right, but have you ever thought that we have not seen an ant nest on the way since we arrived here last evening?" ”
"Uh... Seems so! ”
Like the fat man just now, Mo Long hesitated for a moment, and nodded without denial, indicating that he had indeed found no ant nests all the way over!
"But what does that mean?"
Xiao Li and the middle-aged driver looked at everyone, showing puzzled expressions, looking at Yuebai, waiting for the other party's answer.
"This illustrates... In the entire Ten Thousand Ghost Mountain Mountains, there may be only carpenter ants here! ”
As he spoke, Yuebai pulled out his short sword, and in the next second, he scraped the soil on the grave in front of him with the tip of his sword.
It didn't matter if he didn't scrape it, but after the moon-white short sword scraped the dry soil on the grave, the crust formed on the surface after the air dried out and the water vapor evaporated, suddenly cracked.
Then, the five people gathered here noticed at the same time that moist soil appeared under the crust of the grave that had been scraped off, and that there were still dense holes about a thousand and the size of a grain of rice in the large piece of soil.
There are so many of these holes, and there seem to be black carpenter ants crawling out of them.
The five people who saw this scene also had goosebumps all over their bodies, and I am afraid that people with dense phobia will all get sick after seeing such soil, and they may even hang up uncomfortably all of a sudden.
However, under this uncomfortable feeling, Yuebai suddenly understood one thing.
That is, this mound has been encroached upon by countless black carpenter ants, and it may be the only ant nest in this Ten Thousand Ghost Mountain Mountains.
Or rather, this child's-looking mound was not a lonely grave at all, but a strange and rare nest of carpenter ants in the mountains!
In other words, the return of the five of them to this place is not a 'tomb' or a masterpiece of stone tablets at all, but another magical power that is difficult for everyone to discover and guide them back.
Moreover, in Yuebai's mind, this magical power must have some connection with this strange ant nest, as if there was a voice in Yuebai's heart reminding him that if they wanted to understand the reason why everyone returned here, then this wooden ant nest was the most critical clue!
