A fallen human skeleton is slowly floating out of the dense forest by the roadside. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It is not accurate to say that the bones are white, because the two knees are still intact. Beneath the white bones was a layer of giant ants with a shiny carapace the size of a thumb. Countless armies of ants are like a black river, traversing the human marching route.
"Lord Overseer, what should I do?"
Cheberkeley's cold sweat broke out, how could Atlas's ants be so big and violent? How to deal with it? He couldn't help but say, "What about the guide?"
The herald pointed to the white bone with a sad face: "He is the guide." β
"This ...... What's going on?"
"Just now the guide said that he was going to Xiaoxie, and two brothers accompanied him, and a big ant jumped down from the tree and bit him in the face, and he cried out and fell, and the two brothers tried to pull him, and the leaves on the ground were turned up, and there were ants as big as their fingers! β
"Lord Overseer, what should we do if the ants are coming towards us?"
Cheberkeley habitually raised a hand to give the command to make a surprise attack, and suddenly remembered that the opponent was ants, not humans, how should this battle be fought?
Seeing that he looked uncertain, an eagle warrior shouted, "Fire!
Cheberkeley was overjoyed: "Yes, set fire!"
"No! there are trees all around, and we'll be burned to death!"
"It's okay, we're in the upwind position, and the fire will only burn forward, not roll back!"
"What if the wind changes?"
Loud and noisy, Cheberkley was suddenly one head and two big, and the screams of his men were already heard not far ahead, and they did not dare to flee without his orders, so they could only wave their weapons and beat them indiscriminately. More than a dozen people have become ants' meals, and the smell of fresh flesh and blood quickly spreads, attracting more ants to surround them.
"Set fire, set fire!" Cheberkeley didn't think much about it, and there was only one way to die if he waited any longer. However, he did not give clear instructions on how to set the fire!
Countless fires ignited almost at the same time, and the jungle was damp, and the flames collided together, wrapped in billowing smoke. Everyone is worried that they will be gnawed into white bones, and they all hate to completely surround themselves with flames!
Cheberkeley secretly complained that the smoke was so heavy that it was almost shrouded in smoke and fire!
The morale of the army is in turmoil!
"Calm down, calm down!"
Cheberkeley roared, and in the raging fire and billowing smoke, countless figures yelled in terror, countless hands waved in despair, but no one heard his shout.
How is this completely different from commanding the Holy Crown War! This is not taught in the books! No one has ever encountered such a situation!
What to do, what to do?
"Rescueβ"
A puff of smoke choked him, and his screams were choked back into his throat, tears and snot flowed down together, and his head seemed to have been punched hard, and he was groggy and couldn't see anything around him.
In the distance, Yupanji and Darke looked at each other, and Yupanji exclaimed, "What's the matter?
Duck spread his hands: "How do I know." Will the Atlas regular army still play this hand?"
"I never had such a training program when I was in the Legion! How could I send such a wreck to be an Overseer? It's a pity that those Eagle Samurai, burn this bastard!"
"Burn him and we'll be in big trouble later, let's go, wipe his ass," said Dark, putting on the ghostfire mask, "Isabella, no one else, keep an eye on that kid and show us the directions;
Everyone agreed in unison.
Cheberkeley choked on the smoke, and before he fainted, he seemed to feel someone carrying him, who was a loyal man, but soon exhaustion and powerlessness felt like a mountain, crushing the remaining will, and he fell into the deepest darkness.
He floated in the darkness of nothingness, for an unknown amount of time, for a day, for two days, for a century. It wasn't until a chirping birdsong came to my ears that the silent world came back to life.
The birdsong became more and more frequent, and then the smell of damp grass entered the nostrils, and the sense of smell returned, and the soft earth beneath him and the smoke of fire in his mouth were burning.
The darkness that shrouded consciousness quickly thinned, and a faint light appeared, quickly thickening, eyelids flickered slightly, and eyes slowly opened.
Where am I?
Surrounded by towering ancient trees, low-hanging vines, and thick and fluffy fallen leaves underneath, a small black unknown beetle crawled over the back of its hand, itching.
He shuddered violently and raised his hand to shake the beetle away.
By the way, ants, man-eating ants, what about man-eating ants, what about troops, what about the people who saved me?
No, nothing!Damn!Lost!Calm, calm, calm!Now you're on your own!
He tightened his grip on the obsidian dagger nervously.
The surrounding birds are still chirping, and the jungle is quiet, peaceful, without a trace of fireworks.
Cheberkeley, are you scaring yourself? Don't be too nervous, relax, relax, the first question now is...... Find some water to drink.
I'm so thirsty, and my nose feels like it's on fire! Water, where is the water? What kind of water can I drink?
The water in the jungle must not be drunk indiscriminately, non-toxic plants with abundant water storage, digging deep wells and collecting dew are the three commonly used methods, Cheberkeley has no experience in jungle warfare, of course he does not know which plants are poisonous and which are not, digging wells This kind of technical work is not what he needs to consider as a chief officer, he can't do it, so he can only collect dew.
There is no endless road, and there is a large area of low, fleshy and fat unknown plants more than a meter tall in front of it. The fleshy, thick leaves are edged with long green pubescence, each with a drop of crystal clear dew hanging from the top.
Oh, how lucky the sun god heard my prayers. Cheberkeley staggered along.
The state was worse than expected, his legs were so heavy that they seemed to be filled with lead, so he had no choice but to hold on to the giant tree beside him and move forward slowly.
Just as he was about to walk out from behind the tree, a loud buzzing sound sounded, and then a giant black beetle the size of a round table appeared above his head, causing him to shrink back in fright.
The giant beetle apparently ignored his mood, and fell on the large green plant, and as soon as the wide mouthparts were sucked, countless dewdrops fell into his belly, which made Cheberkeley envious, but immediately, he could not envy it.
Slowly, gently, and resolutely, the leaves of the turquoise plant began to close, clamping the beetle tightly, and those soft long hairs became tough ropes, winding back and forth between the leaves, and the beetle was completely restrained, unable to move!
Then, in the blood-red crack between the leaves, a pink and lovely flower column slowly poked out, and slowly pierced into the beetle's body.
The beetle's body quickly dried up, and finally, the pubescence unraveled, the blades opened, and a carcass of the beetle with only a black hard shell was thrown out. The pubescence of the leaves of the turquoise plants continues to secrete crystal dewdrops.
Cheberkeley's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled.
Nightmare, this must be a nightmare! I haven't woken up, haven't woken up yet!
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but take two steps back, and suddenly felt slimy on his neck, and when he turned his head sharply, it was an arm-thick mucus-stained vine.
Scared me.
Before he could catch his breath, the vine suddenly stood up like a snake, and its sharp head burst open!
A six-petaled, toothy, bloody mouth burst open less than a foot from his face!
Cheberkeley screamed hysterically, slashed the vines with a sword, rolled on the spot, and fled from where he was standing.
He had barely stood firm when a tough filament suddenly hung down from the canopy above his head, and a mottled bark pocket fell downward, and inside the mouth of the bag was an undigested, clean ape-like face!
The inevitable Cheberkeley screamed hysterically!
