Chapter 42: Why?
Before we could figure out what was going on, the "rustling" sound from the surroundings had become louder, and it brought a strong wind. Following the fat man's gaze, he saw countless dark green ant-like animals crawling straight out of the grass.
Suddenly, I felt an itch in my ankle, and when I looked down, I saw a dark green "ant" biting at my skin, and a large pustule gradually bulged out.
I flicked the ant away and tried to touch my hand towards it, when a sudden and overwhelming pain came over me. I couldn't help but take a sharp breath, hurriedly took off my coat, and began to sweep away the "ants" around me. What surprised us was that these "ants" had extraordinary tentacles and were crazy to stick to our clothes.
What's even more terrifying is that these "ants" actually crawled down my coat and towards my hands. "How can this be" The fat man jumped back and forth anxiously, and multiple pus pockets had been bitten out of his body.
"This is the gathering place of the poisonous ant nest, we are already stained with their smell, if we want to leave safely, we must completely deal with them" The old man sighed, clutching a light blue stone in his hand, surprisingly, the old man here was not attacked by the poisonous ants.
The fat man, who saw a little doorway, immediately ran to the old man's side, and was pleasantly surprised to find that although the poisonous ants were attacking him, the number suddenly became much less, "Big brother, where did you buy your stone, can you give me one."
As if he didn't realize that the fat man would say this, the old man's face changed suddenly, sighed, and waved at us: "Everyone come here!" I can only last for a while, and I hope you can come up with a solution."
As he spoke, under our surprised gaze, the old man took out a plant with a clover from his arms, and the old man crushed the clover, and the dripping juice fell into the light blue stone, and suddenly heard a "smack" sound, and then saw the stone gradually melt away, emitting a white gas, which gradually dissipated.
Instead, a fragrant scent spread around. I saw that the ants that were attacking fiercely before suddenly stopped, and they all surrounded us, "It's really good," the fat man laughed in amazement.
It can only last a while! The old man frowned tightly and deliberately emphasized. And the stone in his hand is constantly dissipating. The poisonous ants around us, like fierce tigers, are eyeing us, and what is even more difficult is that more and more poisonous ants are starting to rush towards us.
I tried to look at the back of my hand, but I saw again that there was nothing, and external forces would not work after all. So what to do? The previous feeling was long gone, and Li Yu and Zhang Yu looked very embarrassed. Are we going to be trapped here until we are bitten by countless poisonous ants?
Maybe our life should not be extinguished, at this time, my jade pendant inexplicably emitted a dazzling light, and the surrounding poisonous ants suddenly became restless, frantically scattered towards the surroundings, at the same time, the jade pendant around my neck, as if by a pull, is constantly dragging me, as if to indicate something to me.
Follow it! Sam motioned for me to take off the jade pendant, and as soon as I untied it, the jade pendant slowly floated in the air and moved forward. Seeing such a strange scene, Sam seemed very calm, nodded at us, and took the lead in following.
The road was rugged and difficult to walk, and in the end we were surprised to find that after walking for half a day, it was a big circle, but in fact it was just a small road. And at this moment, the jade pendant suddenly stopped, suspended in mid-air, and the light released shot straight ahead.
It turned out that in front of us, there was a row of poisonous ant nests. This is just out of the mouth of the "tiger", and the poisonous ants have brought us to the "tiger" den, what is this jade pendant trying to do?
Sam, who was frowning, suddenly took out the Yin Seal and covered the rows of poisonous anthills one after another, only to see that the anthills gradually began to be destroyed. Looking at this puzzling scene, could it be that there is something hidden in the anthill? Or rather, did Sam find something?
Just when Sam destroyed the tenth ant, the situation suddenly changed. A dark black spot of light emanated straight out of the nest, and Sam picked it up, only to see that the thing that flashed dark black light was none other than another black key.
Sam, who was holding the key, gave me a straight look, and I suddenly woke up from the shock, and went straight to my arms, and when I took out the treasure box, I took the black key in Sam's hand, and my heart felt a heaviness inexplicably.
Call~
I let out a big breath and carefully inserted the black key into the box. I only heard the sound of "bell", the treasure box suddenly shook, and I felt that my hand was inexplicably electrified, and my hand was immediately loosened, and the treasure box fell to the ground.
I saw that the treasure box did not open, but began to show stripes on its surface. The mutation lasted for about a minute, and the treasure box suddenly became quiet.
I picked it up from the ground, and was surprised to find that a map-like drawing had appeared on the surface of the treasure box, and the treasure box could be opened at this moment. Just as I was about to open it, Pu Shifan suddenly stopped me, "I can't open the box for the time being."
Why? I looked at Pu Shifan in confusion, and Pu Shifan immediately explained: "Just this year, that is, in 2003, there is a book in the United States that is very popular", as he said, Pu Shifan held the frame of the glass, and continued: "This book is the Da Vinci Code."
According to Pusfan, the situation in front of him is somewhat similar to the scene in the Da Vinci code. In other words, if we open the treasure box now, it will destroy the pattern on the treasure box, I tried to touch the groove of the treasure box, only to see that there is a slight bulge, and the surrounding places, it is indeed a little different.
Looking at the markings on the treasure box, it was clear that the big red dot marked on it was the destination we were going to eventually reach. To our surprise, its final destination was not very far from where we are at the moment.
Taking advantage of everyone's excitement, it is estimated that if you rest at this moment, you won't be able to sleep. Led by Sam, we headed straight for our destination. It didn't take long for us to come straight to the so-called end point, where one of the large waterfalls was marked with a very special mark, and we were not far from the waterfall at the moment. Directly in front of us was a stone wall with no entrance.
Everyone unanimously looked at the treasure box in my hand, "Open it!" Listening to Sam's faint voice, I went straight to the treasure box, and the moment I opened it, I felt my mouth dry inexplicably, "What will be in it?" I thought so, exhaled violently, and with a strong blow, we were all shocked by the scene in the treasure box.
How so? The fat man opened his big bell-like eyes, turned the treasure box up, and shook it vigorously downward, reality tells us: the treasure box is empty! (To be continued.) )
