As we lay on the branch of the big tree, we saw countless ghost ants rushing from all directions, surrounding the big earthworm and rushing up. The big earthworm has bad eyes, but its intuition is keen, and it rushes left and right surrounded by ghost ants, and its big mouth keeps wriggling, and soon many ghost ants are devoured by it.

But many of those ghost ants also climbed on its body, and the sharp forelimbs cut through its skin, and it was about to drill into it, and the big earthworm realized that it was not good, and struggled desperately to resist, and fought with those ants.

Ansari suddenly said, "I understand, that big earthworm was injured just now, which attracted these ghost ants. It is not only the nemesis of the ghost ant's natural enemy, but at the same time it is the food of the ghost ant. ”

I nodded silently, this is the law of survival in nature, just like the big earthworm is now powerful, but outnumbered, I believe it will be finished soon.

It's just that when this big earthworm is finished, isn't it our turn to be next?

I subconsciously turned my head to look around, looking for a way to escape, but when I turned around, I found a huge black shadow standing in the fog not far in front of us.

Like a giant monster, I was startled, but when I looked closely, I recognized that it was not a monster, but another tree that was just as huge.

The huge branch we were crawling on, about ten meters long, was connecting between the two trees, but if you looked closely, the two branches of the two trees were stacked together, like two giants holding hands, standing on top of this wasteland valley.

I had an idea, excitedly asked them to go with me, and said to them, "Wouldn't it be safe if we could quickly climb to another tree and cut off the branches that connected the two trees?"

In fact, there is a loophole in my method, that is, what if there are monsters on the opposite tree?

But at this moment, there is no longer so much to care about, because the big earthworm has been outnumbered, and several ghost ants have been drilled into the body one after another, and they are struggling and fluttering in pain.

Lao Pan immediately decided: "Zhang Ye, Da Kui, this task has been handed over to you, break this branch, everyone retreat over there!" ”

We climbed to the other side together, but Zhang Ye and Da Kui's task was very difficult, because we were now on a tree branch more than ten meters high, and it was not easy to cut down this big branch thicker than my waist.

Zhang Ye carried a one-and-a-half-foot long knife with him, but it was okay to cut branches with this kind of knife, and it was impossible for a fool to cut such a thick trunk. The two of them looked at the trunk of the tree, and then at Lao Pan, and Zhang Ye asked me, "Do you still have grenades?" ”

I shook my head: "It's all in the backpack below, I didn't have time to pick it up......"

Zhang Ye frowned, and said to himself: "That can only be beaten with a gun, but we ...... this local goods."

He looked down at the gun in his hand with a questioning face, and Da Kui volunteered at this time: "Brother Ye, you dodge a little, look at me this time." ”

I wondered what he would do, Zhang Ye glanced at him, Da Kui grinned, took off a grenade from the back of his buttocks, shook it at Zhang Ye and said, "I still have a private thing hidden here." ”

Zhang Ye's eyes lit up, slapped him twice, and then dodged aside, and saw Da Kui carefully place the grenade on the branch of a tree a little farther away, stuck in the middle of the two protrusions, and then quickly climbed over, and gestured at Zhang Ye, Zhang Ye understood, and raised his hand to the grenade is a shot.

I only heard a boom, a ball of fire rose into the sky, and even the big earthworm and ghost ant behind it were shaken away, and after the explosion, we looked forward, and a big hole had been blown open in the branch, but it was not broken.

"The tree is quite sturdy." Zhang Ye picked up the gun and fired at the gap again, and in a series of gunshots, Zhang Ye directly used up all the bullets, and the big tree branch was finally disconnected.

But a new problem has arisen, the branch is broken, but the distance of the break is only a few tens of centimeters, according to the jumping ability of those ghost ants, it is still possible to jump over.

We have climbed along the branch to the other side, to be honest, although this branch is very thick, it takes a little effort to disconnect, if it weren't for Da Kui's grenade, it is estimated that it would not be possible to complete it, but thanks to the thick branch, otherwise we want to climb sideways at a height of more than ten meters, which is a difficult problem in itself.

Seeing this scene, Lao Pan immediately decided: "Use incendiary bombs." ”

We instantly understood what he meant, Zhang Ye's face showed excitement, at this time the big earthworm was basically finished, it was already dying, and the grenade just now was even more shocking It was dizzy, and it was quickly drilled into the body by a group of ghost ants, and it hung there softly and did not move.

"Bang!"

An incendiary bomb struck the disconnected branch, and as the fire restarted, a peculiar smell emanated, and the fire spread rapidly, burning straight to the other end of the tree.

This time it was lively again, those ghost ants didn't have time to escape, they were buried in the fire, the incendiary bomb was thickened gasoline, burning on this tree, it was definitely not comparable on the stone ground just now, especially the bark of this old tree had long been dried up, it was purely flammable, and the fire swept a large area in a blink of an eye.

We didn't expect the fire to be so violent, the distance of tens of centimeters between the two branches, soon a fire burned, fortunately the wind at this time happened to be in that direction, otherwise if the fire connected the two trees, then we would be unable to fly.

Watching this raging fire burn more and more, my heart became more and more uneasy, if it continues to burn like this, our tree will definitely not be able to run, after all, the distance is too close.

Everyone also realized this, Da Kui stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "His grandmother's, thanks to me, I still have the last glorious bullet......"

He actually took out another grenade, gestured at it, shook his head and handed it to Zhang Ye and said, "It's better for you to come, I'm afraid that the head won't work, this is really the last one......"

Zhang Ye took it, only glanced at it, then pulled the fuse, paused for about two seconds, and flew out of his hand, the grenade just threw to the root of the branch, and before it could fall, it exploded with a bang.

The branch had crackled and crumbled with fire, and was immediately blown off, and tumbled and fell with the flames.

The distance between the two trees was widened, more than ten meters away, and the fire would never burn again. At the same time, we breathed a sigh of relief, and turned back to climb the tree, where Ansari had found a large branch in front of us, and we climbed up to finally have a place to rest for a while.

I was already weak in my hands and feet, and the bones in my body seemed to be not my own, and I was about to lose the strength to breathe when I leaned against the branches.

The fire became more and more intense, reflecting on everyone's faces, everyone was a wolf, especially after Da Kui and Zhang Ye broke off just now, it was always Ansali and Lao Pan who supported Ah Sheng, and I don't know how they dragged Ah Sheng over, at this time, it was really not easy.

My mouth was so dry that I wanted to drink a lot of water, but I didn't have time to get my backpack, and we only had some simple carry-on equipment now, and we didn't have anything food or water, so it was the worst time on the road.

None of us spoke, and after resting for a while, Da Kui suddenly sat up, looked at the big tree branch we were in, and said, "I said, this tree nest is bigger than the one just now, why do I have an ominous premonition...... There's not a single big bird living here, is there? ”

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes, and said a little tiredly: "Fart bird, I think you look like a big bird, a big crow bird, your mouth seems to be open, can you not speak?" ”

Ansari sat there, looking around, and shook his head when he heard the words, "There can't be a big bird here. ”

He only said this briefly, but after a little thought, I understood that there were two big earthworms in the tree next to it, and there were so many big ants on the ground, in this case, it was indeed impossible for a big bird to save it, otherwise they would have eaten it up.

But no one could guarantee that we would be completely safe here, and after a short rest, we cheered up, staring at the fire on the other side, and keeping an eye on the tree, lest anything suddenly appear again.

This tree became our temporary refuge, and we guarded here for a long time, perhaps because of God's favor, there were no more monsters, and the fire continued to burn for several hours, reflecting half of the sky red, but miraculously did not affect our side, and the fire also dispersed the fog in the sky, and I don't know how many ghost ants were burned to death on the tree.

We stayed up in the tree like this, and stayed up for a long time, because Ansari told us that those ghost ants only moved at night, so we could only wait until after dawn to have a chance to escape from the tree.

It was a physical and mental ordeal, but there was no crisis, nothing strange was coming, we stayed in this tree, nervous and tired, wanting to close our eyes and rest, but we didn't dare.

Ah Sheng was the only one who leaned on the tree and fell asleep, and I felt amazing about how he survived this repeated toss.

Looking at the appearance of everyone, although they were all tired and haggard, none of them showed a look of frustration, despair or fear, and everyone seemed to have two words written on their faces.

Hang on.

I secretly admired them, although these people sometimes look at them giggling and laughing, and they don't look like they have any rules at all, but at this moment of life and death, at the moment of crisis, they didn't flinch at all, and no one made any mistakes.

Especially the attitude towards partners, even if they are injured, they must support each other and never give up, which is a qualified team and a team with a soul.

Although before that, I always thought they were just a gang of grave robbers.

Time passed, and the fire finally faded, and the tree had been burned to the ground, and the sky was gradually turning white, and it was about to dawn.

This thrilling night is finally coming to an end.

Ansari suddenly stood up, looked in one direction with some excitement, and exclaimed, "Look, what is that?!" ”
