The soil and stone ridge forest is scarce, mostly sand, stone and loess, the wind blows, the sky is full of dust, covering the sky and the sun, and people's eyesight can only see the place within three feet.

Fortunately, the plains and hills around Tushiling are full of ancient trees, and they are towering into the clouds, so although there are strong winds here, they do not happen very often.

At this time, it was the intersection of spring and summer, and the weather gradually turned to sultry, and the army of the Jiuli tribe marched through the dense forest, opening roads in the mountains along the way, building bridges when encountering water, and pouring down like a flood until the front of the earth and stone ridge.

Walking out of the dense forest, looking at the endless desolate landscape in front of them, it was a world of difference from the forest they had just walked out of, and the general of the former army, Da Zhuang, couldn't help muttering, "There are dense forests all around, why is this area in the middle so desolate?"

Seeing this strange phenomenon, Da Zhuang's heart became vigilant, and he said left and right: "Where is the scout?"

Before he finished speaking, someone next to him pointed into the distance, "General, they're back." ”?

In the distance, a group of twelve horsemen came like a flying horse, bringing a gust of wind and stopping in front of the army.

"How?"?

The twelve dismounted, and the first one replied: "General, there is a white land in front, and Liao is uninhabited, empty and forestless, and there are no wild beasts. ”?

"Oh? That's strange. Da Zhuang couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment again.

The fact that there is no owner here means that the Jiuli tribe can be divided into the territory without much effort, which should be a good thing, but for some reason, there is a faint uneasiness in his heart.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with anything, and muttered, "Maybe I'm overthinking." ”?

With a wave of his hand, "Pass the order, the army continues to advance!"?

With an order, the iron hooves of the Nine Tribes marched on this land.

After walking for more than ten miles, the uneasiness in Da Zhuang's heart became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but say to the left and right: "Have you ever felt that something is wrong?"?

"The general thinks so too?" The two of them glanced at each other, and they actually had the same feeling as Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Tell me what you think." ”

The person on the left muttered: "I can't say, although the environment here is hot, it makes me feel very gloomy, as if ...... It's as if there's an eye behind us, always watching us, and it's chilling. ”?

"Yes, I feel that way too. One of the people on the right chimed in: "Moreover, have you noticed that the soil here is exceptionally soft, and it is very unreasonable that such a soft soil can build such a soil bag." ”?

As he spoke, he pointed to the tower-like dirt bags around him.

These bags are about three or four feet high, and they are extremely numerous, widely distributed around, scattered, but invisibly there is a special distribution law.

I thought that these dirt bags were all naturally formed, but as the army went deeper and deeper, the more dirt bags they saw, which began to arouse everyone's suspicions.

Hearing the two of them say this, Da Zhuang Yue felt that the uneasiness in his heart was not groundless, and immediately summoned four soldiers and ordered: "A few of you, go and dig open that soil bag to see what it is." ”

"Yes!"?

The four soldiers answered, approached a nearby bag, looked at each other, and then each picked up his spear and stabbed at it.

Burst!

The head of the gun pierced into the soil bag, the body of the gun shook, the tip of the gun was picked, and with a bang, the soil

The bag burst open, and the loess flew.

The four of them looked at it, and there was a black thing wriggling, blowing open the soil layer on the surface, and the four of them were stunned for a moment.

The black thing was an ant half an inch long.

It's an ant nest.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and shouted, "General, this dirt bag is just an ant nest, not anything else. ”

"Ant nests?" Da Zhuang frowned and looked around, "Why are there so many ant nests in such a dry and hot place? ”

While pondering, a shocking change was born!

"Ah......h

Several frightened screams sounded at the same time, and the general was startled and hurriedly looked ahead.

Seeing this, not only him, but everyone in the entire army had goosebumps, and the hairs all over their bodies stood on end, and their scalps were about to explode.

But when I saw that the loess under the feet of the four soldiers suddenly turned over, a large group of black ants quietly crawled out from underneath, and unknowingly completely surrounded the four of them. Then, the ant colony began to attack, climbing towards the bodies of the four people like tarsal bones, and the ant colony in the dirt bag also struck, sweeping towards the four like a black tide.

The four soldiers gave up their spears and jumped and screamed, trying to shake off the ants from their bodies. However, the ants had extremely strong climbing ability, and there were many of them, but in two breaths, the ants on the body of the four people were not reduced, but increased several times.

The four of them were bitten and screamed, and hurriedly rushed out. However, they had not yet taken a few steps before they all fell to the ground one after another, and the ant colony followed, engulfing them under the horrified gaze of everyone.

"Yes...... Poisonous!"?

At the last moment, one of them could only shout these few words, and completely disappeared into the ant tide.

Everyone gasped, only to feel a chill all over their bodies, and they were speechless by the tragic and terrifying scene in front of them.

"Hurry back!"?

With an earth-shattering roar, in the face of the sudden ant tide, Da Zhuang chose to retreat without hesitation.

Almost at the moment when he roared, black ants came out of the ground in all directions, and those dirt bags were like black springs, from which an astonishing tide of ants continued to gush, layer upon layer, dense, and wrapped in the center.

The army was immediately in chaos, running around like headless flies, but fortunately, Da Zhuang gave the order to withdraw, and everyone began to have a direction, and the rear army became the front army, and the front army turned to the rear army, and hurriedly retreated along the road they came.

However, when they saw that the road they came from was also flooded by the ant tide, everyone's faces changed miserably, and they were instantly extremely pale and bloodless.

"Rush!"?

Da Zhuang's face turned red, and at the sound of an order, the generals and soldiers on horseback rode their horses and whipped their horses, and opened the way first, and the crowd behind followed, stepping forward towards the endless tide of ants.

It was undoubtedly a suicidal act, but they had no choice. In the face of a life-and-death crisis, they can't sit still, they can rush out one by one.

The war horses neighed, the crowd roared, and the sound of the ant tide crawling like flowing water, and the horn of the god of death sounded in the earth and stone ridge.

One by one, the soldiers kept falling down in the ant tide, and then they were drowned by the black ants. After a few breaths, the ant tide rotated one after another, but the people inside were gone, only the bloodshot bones were surging in it, and the white bones were particularly dazzling in the black ant tide.

More than a dozen

After a breath, even the bones were invisible, and the living people disappeared into this world like this, as if they had never existed.

Da Zhuang rode on his horse, and when he looked back at this scene, his eyes were cracked, and his teeth were about to be crushed, but he couldn't do anything.

The horse relies on its speed and great strength to trample the ant colony, but the black ants that are shaken up will also cling to its body, and then use their venomous jaws to bite into the horse's body and inject venom into it.

The war horse has thick skin, and the anti-poison ability is much stronger than that of people, and it can be okay in a short time, but Da Zhuang knows very well that this is by no means a long-term solution, once the war horse can't hold on, if he can't break out of this area, then he will definitely die.

Therefore, he does not dare to stop, and he cannot stop, and if he stops, he will die!

The army stormed the ant tide, and everyone forgot to die, trying to fight their way out of this endless "torrent". However, no matter how hard they tried, it was to no avail.

The countless ant tides were like a black flood surging, violently destroying everything in front of them with the force of breaking bamboo, and those soldiers who had no horses and were running on foot could not support it at all, but in the blink of an eye, they were almost dead.

In the dirt and stone ridge, only a few frightened war horses were left and fled with their horses.

"Wow!"

Finally, after half a quarter of an hour of wild running, the ant venom spread in the body, and the war horse could no longer hold on, his whole body was weak, his front hooves were lost, and he fell to the ground.

And where it fell, it was only four or five feet away from the edge.

However, it is this distance of four or five zhang, in the eyes of Da Zhuang at this moment, it is like a moat.

With a roar, Da Zhuang stepped on the horse's head at the moment when the war horse fell, and jumped up suddenly.

The amazing bouncing power, coupled with the strong desire to survive in his heart, and with the help of the inertia generated when the war horse galloped, under the action of three factors at the same time, he jumped out of the three feet!

The sturdy body fell to the ground heavily, and directly trampled an ant to death, Da Zhuang didn't dare to stay at all, and rushed out frantically.

After a few big strides, he carried dozens of black ants on his body, and finally escaped from the earth and stone ridge and plunged into the dense forest, while the war horse behind him raised his head to the sky and let out a last wail, and was ruthlessly devoured by the ant tide.

Da Zhuang's heart was like a knife, but he didn't dare to stay, just grabbed the road and ran wildly.

For some reason, the ant tide did not chase into the dense forest, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, the first thing he did was to take off his armor, shake off all the ants on his body, and then trample them to death.

"It's terrible! It's terrible! This place is hell! It's forbidden on earth! I'm going to get the news back from here. ”?

There was a whole army, and he was the only one who escaped, and Da Zhuang was terrified in his heart, but he was still in shock. The previous scene was destined to become a shadow that will never linger in his heart.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of such a tragic death and the horror and despair that preceded the irresistible death.

The armor faded, revealing black and purple wounds on his body, and Da Zhuang was shocked and angry, and when he moved slightly, he gasped in pain.

Holding on to the trunk of the tree next to him, he gritted his teeth, struggled to his feet, and limped back.

Half a day later, a piece of news spread like wings and spread throughout the tribe.

An army of 3,000 men went out on the expedition and was in distress at Tushiling, leaving only one man seriously wounded and fleeing back.

On this day, the whole race was shaken.
