Chapter Seventy-Three: Avoiding Danger
"Run! Don't stop. ”
With his legs staggered at great speed, his thigh muscles providing a steady stream of forward momentum, Pang Yuan ran forward in the forest, hanging far away at the tail end of the large number of beasts in front of him, leaving the rapidly advancing ant colony behind.
The sound of the wind whistling in my ears.
After a new round of improvement in speed attributes, the boy's body became lighter and more agile and powerful, and his running speed increased a lot compared to before.
Although it was still not as good as the fleeing beasts in front of him, and he could only fall behind, there was no problem for the boy to surpass the terrifying ant tide behind him.
"It's not a way to run like this, these ants are almost tireless, I can't use them, I have to find a place to hide. ”
The young man's brows were tightly locked, his feet were not stopped, he was carrying a spear in one hand, and he still had the mind to ponder countermeasures in the hurricane.
Behind him is an overwhelming ant tide, the range is extremely wide, and it is not feasible to avoid it to the side.
And all the living creatures that accidentally fell into it or were caught up lost their lives without any suspense, and the flesh and blood of the whole body were eaten, leaving only a snow-white skeleton.
And the female reindeer that the boy hunted before, the corpse was left in place, and I am afraid that he could not escape the fate of being devoured, as soon as he thought of this, Pang Yuan felt very sorry in his heart.
The overwhelming ant tide was biting behind, and the crisis never dissipated, Pang Yuan could only run forward first, observing the surrounding environment, looking for an opportunity to escape.
Fortunately, there is no endless road.
In this way, after running for a while, the young man's breath gradually became thicker, his panting became more and more frequent, his feet were heavy, and he ran with all his strength for a long time, and his body consumed a lot of physical energy.
Suddenly, the irritable young man in his heart was pleasantly surprised to find that a clear water light appeared not far ahead, and it looked so bright and amiable under the sun.
Pang Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, and a stronger force was born under his feet, and he stepped on the ground quickly, and his speed increased again, and he went straight to the place where the water light was in front of him.
Soon, the boy approached the spot he saw in front of him, and it turned out to be a small waterhole.
The area of the waterhole is small, no more than five or six meters long and wide, and the edges are irregular.
The water on the surface of the small pool is quite clear, and you can see through the surface of the water that the bottom of the pool is covered with a thick layer of black silt, which does not look deep, and I am afraid that it is not enough to cover the chest of ordinary people.
Although the waterhole is not big, there are some small fish and shrimp in it, and a lot of plankton, and some aquatic plants are rooted in the bottom of the water, nourished by that layer of fertile silt, the growth is vigorous, and the green is gratifying.
Those hateful marching ants naturally couldn't run to the bottom of the water to bite people, and Pang Yuan, who was running wildly, saw that this place was suitable for hiding, and he was happy in his heart.
Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, the young man first took a deep breath, calmed down, and then decisively jumped into the small waterhole with his spear.
Pang Yuan jumped into the pool of water all of a sudden, splashing with bursts of water, and the water instantly soaked his clothes.
Leaning against the edge of the small pool, he plunged his spear vertically into the thick mud at the bottom of the pool, and used it as a support to stabilize his body.
As Pang Yuan expected, the water in the pool was indeed not deep, and the young man was tall and strong, only to Pang Yuan's waist if he used the clear water part of the pool.
However, the mud at the bottom of the pool was very thick, and the boy's feet fell into it as soon as he stepped into it, so that the surface of the small pool almost reached the boy's chest.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, the boy seemed to have stepped on something under his feet, very hard, angular, and a little awkward.
However, at this time, Pang Yuan, who was nervous in his heart, was still thinking about the terrifying ant colony Black Tide chasing behind, and he only thought that it was a stone or something that fell into the pool water, so he didn't care.
Pang Yuan stood in the waterhole with his spear on his hand, only his head exposed, watching the situation on the shore, soothing his rapid breathing, waiting for the arrival of the ant tide.
"Boom......"
A small and strange voice gradually came, and in the young man's field of vision, the black wave of marching ants reappeared, fierce and domineering, and rampant.
The black earth continued to spread forward, and the ant tide advanced rapidly, and soon came to the small waterhole where Pang Yuan was.
Pang Yuan didn't dare to continue watching, hurriedly opened his mouth wide, took a deep breath, pinched his nose with one hand, so as not to choke on the water, and then quickly submerged his head completely into the water, preparing to hold his breath in the water and hide, quietly waiting for the ant tide to pass.
The wave of marching ants on the shore came to the small waterhole, which was very small, and most of them bypassed by, and some of the ant colonies slowed down slightly, and there were huge ants crawling back and forth in the colony, as if discussing countermeasures.
Then a strange scene was staged in the small pool, as if receiving some order, a large group of marching ants quickly gathered, and they all gathered inward, forming a large ball with a diameter of nearly half a meter composed of live ants!
Several of these bizarre balls quickly sank into the water, and floated to the other end of the pool, floating on the water, tumbling back and forth, up and down.
The large round ball of the ant colony is heading towards the other end, and it is not slow.
Every time this strange ant ball rolls and fluctuates on the surface of the water, many large black ants will be peeled off its surface and fall into the water, either waiting powerlessly to drown, or struggling hard.
Pang Yuan in the water pinched his nose and held his breath there, but he couldn't open his eyes, so he naturally couldn't see this scene on the water, just silently waiting for the endless ant tide to pass as soon as possible.
One by one, the big ant balls drifted at a good speed, and soon reached the edge of the other end of the waterhole.
After the huge ant ball touched the land, it quickly decomposed, and a large number of marching ants climbed wet onto the ground on the shore, and then followed the team again, converging into the black wave.
And many of the black marching ants remained forever in the small waterhole behind them.
