Chapter 259: Run
Walking on a pile of rotten pages and walking on a pile of dry bones felt completely different, and my stomach was churning, my throat was sore, and I vomited straight out.
Xuanyuan Chen came over and patted me on the back, and when I was better, he picked me up and jumped onto a stone.
"Give." He handed me water, and I took a sip and felt slightly better.
Everyone jumped up.
Qiu Jin stood on a thick tree root that grew out of the ground, frowning and looking at the ground, "How can there be so many dry bones." ”
Ming Qi squatted down to take a closer look, and said more suspiciously, "The bones of these bones have not yet weathered, even if the dampness in this forest slows down the weathering speed, this person will be dead for half a year at most, how can there be only white bones left, and there is no corpse at all." ”
Qiu Jin nodded, "Moreover, although there is a smell of decay in this forest, but with so many corpses, the smell of rotting corpses will definitely choke, how can there be only a little bit, is it ......?"
The two of them glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of fear.
"Could it be that before they died, they encountered something strange and ate their flesh?"
"Huh...... Brush brush ......"
As soon as Qiu Jin's words fell, a strange wind suddenly blew in the forest, and a strange sound of small fragments was also coming with the strange wind.
"It's weird!" Mingqi frowned, and suddenly showed his weapon.
Qiu Jin quickly flashed the palm-sized full moon sleeve knife, and the bullet showed the wings of the flying knife. I slid out of the ink, flicked my sword into three feet, and stared cautiously at where the voice came from.
"Huh...... Rustle......"
The sound came from far and near, and there was an extremely damp smell in the wind, and a large brown patch on the side moved rapidly closer, and the hare was frightened and sprang out of the grass, and ran violently on its hind legs, but it was not as fast as the brown.
The brown patch quickly wrapped around it, and after a few moments, the hare was gone, and a complete white animal bone was crooked to the ground.
This......
"Not good! It's a man-eating ant! I don't know who shouted, and I was shocked.
Man-eating ants, carnivorous and not grass-eating.
Everywhere he passed, there was no living mouth left, and when he got on his body, he directly drilled into the flesh and ate blood, and the head was a large mass of small ants, and he could eat a whole goat, which was amazingly destructive, and the amount of food was even more amazing.
No wonder there are so many dry bones on the ground, it turns out that they are all the souls of this little ant!
The face in front of the wolves did not change, and Xuanyuan Chen, who was not shocked in the sea of cannibal flowers, suddenly changed, grabbed my waist, and ran away with a light foot.
"Run, everyone, don't get this thing on it!" Qiu Jin quickly withdrew the round knife, shouted, and ran away.
Not to be outdone, Mingqi immediately flew away.
The people brought this time are among the 200 people, and the masters selected by Jingzhi are very good, and the reaction and light skills are not bad, there are two tall people, and they can easily pick up the one who can't martial arts on the side, and run away with all their strength.
"Huh...... Whew......"
Large swaths of brown man-eating ants approached at the speed of the wind, spilling over the grass and over the trunks of trees, their tails generally following closely behind, with no intention of leaving.
We are fast, they are fast, we are slow, they are still fast, and they are bound to bite me to death and not give up.
"Damn it!" Xuanyuan Chen frowned, and on the side of his back, a bottle of fire oil was sprinkled violently, and he took out the fire fold and flicked it......
"Hoo ......"
When the oil meets the fire, it ignites instantly. Many ants cupped in the sea of fire, but there were more ants who bypassed the sea of fire and chased after them. They're already chasing fast. At this moment, as if he was enraged, he chased faster.
A man at the back of the team somehow got a few on his clothes, and instantly bit through a large piece of his clothes, and a brother next to him flew up a long sword and tore through half of his outer robe, which saved him.
We ran as fast as we could, and the man-eating ants chased after us like crazy.
We don't want to discern the direction, where the terrain is high, we run where we go, where the terrain is different, where we escape, just like that, we ran straight for half an hour, and we have already run out of the damp dense forest, but those man-eating ants have no intention of stopping, and continue to chase frantically.
"This thing seems to be stuck to us!" Qiu Jin chased after him. Although she was good at light skills, her face began to be slightly red after a long time of raising her breath and running violently, and her breath was faintly uneven, and others began to appear embarrassed.
Xuanyuan Chen kept holding me at first, and then I broke away, and he half-hugged me, although his breath did not change, but if he kept running like this, no one could stand it!
Gotta figure figure out how to get rid of these things!
That's right, water!
As long as you find a way to find water, you will naturally be able to shake them off.
This effort, our route and map have already deviated too much, the air here is dry, uphill, and it doesn't look like there is a water source, how can this be good!
"Quick! Run over there! ”
"Run, there's a forest in front of them, you can stop them!"
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden shout in front of him, and then, a black dot was far and near, and it was almost in front of him in a moment. The embarrassed man with his hair half-open and his clothes torn in a few places was none other than the Southern Xinjiang Tuoba Qing.
The speed of both of us was very fast, and it was the direction of the head-on, and it was only a moment before we were close.
"It's you!" Tuoba Qing was stunned.
The mask I am wearing today is the same one I brought on the Maoyan Mountain, and he recognized it at once.
"Woo, woo!"
Before I could reply, a strange cry came from behind them, and then, as soon as the sky darkened behind them, a large black patch arrived.
"Something that eats people, run!" Tuoba Qing's face changed suddenly, and he was about to run behind us.
After all, this is not a battlefield, and he reminded us, so I shouted, "There's something in the back!" ”
He was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes to see the brown color that followed behind us, his face immediately became even more ugly.
"Woo, woo......"
Just hesitated for a moment, the birds above the head were already approaching, these things looked like crows, but the beaks were long and intermittent, and there seemed to be barbs at the top of the tight top, and they were not easy to mess with at first glance.
There are blackbirds on the top and brown ants on the bottom, and the two meet and kill people.
"Run this way!"
Xuanyuan Chen pointed to the right, and no one hesitated, turned around and ran.
In this direction, there are a lot of thorns on the ground, and there are a few towering ancient trees not far away, I thought that whether it is a black bird in the sky or a man-eating ant on the ground, it can be temporarily intercepted, but the strange thing is that since we entered the direction of the thorns, the birds in the sky are still chasing, and the man-eating ants on the ground have stopped.
The brown insect body is densely gathered at the edge of the thorn bush, layer upon layer, which is very shocking.
"Everyone, be careful! There's weirdness over here! Xuanyuan Chen shouted in a deep voice, everyone's speed has not changed, but their feet are much lighter, try to pick the tips of thick thorns when stepping on their feet, and try not to make big moves.
In this way, the trees on the side began to flourish, and the lush branches and foliage covered the sky and the sun, giving us a natural barrier, and only some of the black birds chased into the forest, and most of them were blocked out of the forest.
The thorns on the ground also began to dwindle, and when Tuoba Qing's guards shot the last few blackbirds, we could finally slow down and find a place with less turf to fall on.
"Oops, but I'm tired!"
As soon as he fell, Tuoba Qing sat on the stone, wiped the water bag on his waist, and poured several large mouthfuls of "goo, goo, goo......" on his head, and then wiped his forehead. Only then did I think of something, I looked up and thought about it for a long time, and finally held back a sentence, "You guys are here too?" ”
The situation was urgent just now, and I couldn't care about embarrassment, but now that the danger is gone, the identities of the two of us are a little embarrassing.
Xuanyuan Chen didn't care, and nodded with a slight smile.
Tuoba Qing also laughed and handed over the water bag, "Do you want to drink water?" ”
"Yes, we brought it." Xuanyuan Chenying.
Tuoba Qing nodded, then put away the water bag, as if he wanted to tie it back to his waist, looked down and saw his tattered clothes pecked by birds, a little embarrassed, and asked us, "How did you meet those brown ants?" ”
Xuanyuan Chen said, "When I met him, I kept chasing after him." ”
"Oh, that's bad luck." He nodded.
Xuanyuan Chen smiled and asked, "What about you, how did you provoke the blackbird?" ”
Tuoba Qing smiled a little embarrassedly, "We are going to fight a few wild game and fight tooth sacrifices, and then we will fight the next one, and somehow we attracted a group of birds, and the birds are very fierce, and they directly pecked the brains of the two brothers, fortunately they ran fast, otherwise, they don't know how to die." This valley of death, which is truly worthy of its name, is full of crises everywhere. ”
"But so." Xuanyuan Chen nodded.
After all, the two of us have special identities, and at this point, it seems that there is no topic, and in addition, everyone knows each other's purpose, so they are not greeting.
After a short rest, the sky was slowly overcast, and the forest was already covered by dense forests, and there was no sunlight, which made me feel even more gloomy and gloomy, which made people breathless.
In this place, the man-eating ants don't come in, there must be something strange, and you should leave quickly. But......
If you want to leave, you have to set the direction first, I have a map in my hand, I know the general route of the treasure, Tuoba Qing is also coming for the treasure, he is on the side, how to use the compass to determine the direction.
Xuanyuan Chen also knew this, so he said, "It's almost, let's go." ”
"Okay." I answered. With a slight nod, Qiu Jin beckoned everyone to get up, looked for a direction at random, and walked away.
Tuoba Qing didn't stop him, bowed his head and pretended not to see it.
After we traveled a long way, when we saw that no one was coming, Xuanyuan Chen took out the positioning compass.
Placing the porcelain needle on the plate, he moved left and right a few times, stood on a high stone, and changed several directions in a row, and his face became solemn again.
"What's going on?" Seeing that something was wrong, I jumped to his side with a light effort.
"The compass seems to be out of order." He handed the compass over, and I took it and turned a few of them, and the porcelain needles were like cotton, without moving at all.
The barren mountains and mountains were concerned about escaping before, and they didn't look at the direction at all. The compass is not easy to use, and it is difficult to judge the direction on a cloudy day.
"Click......"
Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the side, like an animal biting its teeth, and like some blunt object crashing together. Xuanyuan Chen and I glanced at each other, consciously approaching each other, and protecting each other's backs.
Left, right, foot......
There was nothing unusual in the direction, but there was a breeze in the woods, and the grass rustled, and the sound was ......
Never again.
"Everyone, be careful, it's weird!" I shook my hand and slid out of the ink.
It's a demon when it's all wrong, and it seems quiet here, but I always feel an invisible danger, and it's getting closer and closer......
Suddenly......
"Pour Mu, run!"
A howl came from afar, with a terrible and fearful tone.
I shrank my eyes and stared intently.
Not far away, Tuoba Qing was running forward frantically, several guards behind him kept slashing with weapons, and many things with flat bodies and round heads like bark came out of the trunks and grass, opening their blood-colored mouths, showing sharp teeth, chasing them and biting them one by one.
"Click, click......"
As the mouths of those things snapped, the dull sound came.
Before I could be frightened, I listened to "Ah! A scream, among my people, a tall man howled in pain, and a stream of blood burst out of his right leg, and then, the whole person was instantly twisted, and in a moment it fell to the ground like a dried persimmon like an empty shell.
There was a "snap ......", and there was the sound of bones cracking......
A brown bark-like thing emerged from the bone, its flat body already rounded, its blood-colored mouth wide open, revealing sharp teeth.
"It's not good, leave quickly, this Dingxi can get into human flesh!"
I was so frightened that I ran away with a light effort, when the bark of the slanted thorn fell off, and something fell straight to my shoulder.
