Chapter 14: Mystery Shakes Up
Man-eating ants, fierce, carnivorous, and gregarious, even if bitten by a man-eating ant, if dealt with in time, it is fatal, because it has two blade-like teeth, once it comes into contact with a living creature, it is like a drill directly into the body, and then gnaws away the internal organs.
The camp of the hurricane detachment was in chaos, and the team members jumped off the soft beds and ran towards a slightly open area, but the screams still rang out one after another, and new white bones continued to appear on the ground.
The Hurricanes ran desperately to escape, and the man-eating ants chased from the trees to the ground, apparently not intending to abandon their beaked prey.
"Captain, how did the man-eating ants end up here?"
Protecting Qin Bai's side, the looked at the man-eating ant colony that was getting closer and closer, and his scalp was numb.
"Insect repellent powder!"
Where did Qin Bai know why, the immediate urgency was to block the attack of the man-eating ants.
The Hurricanes took out lime-shaped things from their packages, smeared them on their bodies, and sprinkled them on the ground, finally holding the defensive positions under their feet, but there were still many members who had not yet escaped.
"Help me!"
A frightened team member was desperately fleeing, when he suddenly tripped and fell to the ground, and the black color that represented death instantly spread to his legs.
Seeing this, the grabbed the insect repellent powder and was about to rush out to save people, but was stopped by Qin Bai.
"Don't go, you can't live anymore!"
Before Qin Bai's words fell, the team member had already turned into a white bone, his chin was open, his arms were stretched forward, and he maintained a posture of asking for help.
The man-eating ants soon surrounded the hurricane detachment tightly, because of the insect repellent powder, they did not attack for a while, and crawled around the periphery to wait for the opportunity, but as time passed, their patience gradually lost, and after a while, they finally couldn't help but start attacking, the first wave of man-eating ants was poisoned by the insect repellent powder, and the second wave would step on the corpses and rush towards the crowd, and the defensive position of the hurricane detachment was gradually eroded.
"Quick, use all the insect repellent powder. ”
"Captain, what should I do after using it all?"
"It's almost gone, and you still think about it so much, hurry!"
......
"Do you want to help them?" Seeing that the hurricane detachment was in deep danger, Li Da, a fool, was moved by compassion, it must be all human lives, and the hurricane detachment is not full of people like Qin Bai.
"Help, we're all mud bodhisattvas ourselves, and it's hard to protect ourselves. He Kui replied angrily, his eyes fixed on the dirt bag that appeared on the ground in front of him at some point.
Wu Feng naturally found the abnormality, but time did not allow him to find out the reason at all, and a dozen new dirt bags protruded from the ground in the blink of an eye, and after the mud and sand were exhausted, the black man-eating ants gushed out from the ground.
"Quick, light the torch!"
The black tide is like a tide, the torches are lit, and the current situation of the Tailong detachment is the same as that of the hurricane detachment, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it cannot escape, and it cannot be walked, and it cannot be beaten.
The crowd and the ant colony were deadlocked, but when the insect repellent powder was exhausted, the torches also burned out, and the black shadow of death seemed endless.
"Captain, we have to find a way to get out. ”
The light of the fire became smaller and smaller, and He Kui looked at Wu Feng anxiously, and at this time, there was also an urgent shout from the hurricane detachment that the insect repellent powder was about to run out.
Fire only serves as a deterrent, and the best way to get rid of man-eating ants is to go into the water, but where to find water now, and to return to that river along the way?
The torches are getting weaker and weaker, the defensive circle is getting smaller and smaller, and in a hurry, Wu Feng took the lead in opening the way by taking the torch, and it was better to risk breaking through than to sit and wait.
In pairs, one holding the torch in the air and the other sticking the torch to the ground under his feet, the Tailong detachment slowly moved under the leadership of Wu Feng.
"Captain Wu!"
There was not much insect repellent powder left, Qin Bai and his hurricane detachment were pushed to the front of the Ghost Gate, and when they saw the Tailong detachment breaking through, they hurriedly asked for help, and their voices were full of pleading.
Wu Feng hesitated for a moment and leaned towards Qin Bai, the reason was very simple, he was not a sinister and cunning villain, nor was he a wicked person who would be avenged, he was not saving an enemy, but a life.
"Undress. "The limited number of torches and the fading firepower are not enough to protect the people of the two detachments, Wu Feng immediately said sharply.
"Why don't you take it off?" the black ghost glared angrily, but was pressed by Qin Bai, who gritted his teeth and took off his shirt first.
The fire was all over the sky, and the man-eating ant colony suddenly lost its arrogance, and retreated a lot of the encirclement, but it still crawled with the crowd, and they seemed to know that clothes without resin would not burn for long.
"Speed up!"
The only way to die is to move forward, Wu Feng shouted, took the lead in opening the way, and under his leadership, everyone finally tore a hole in the encirclement.
I only hated my parents for giving me two legs, and the moment I broke out of the encirclement, everyone ran away, not to mention that it was very embarrassing to lose their armor and abandon it.
I don't know how far I ran, but the creepy 'zizi' sound finally disappeared in my ears, and everyone collapsed on the ground.
Cold sweat slid down the face, and Wu Feng's chest also rose and fell violently, but he didn't breathe immediately.
"Check for damage!"
Hearing Wu Feng's order, Li Da and He Kui, who had just collapsed on the ground, had to stand up again.
While waiting for the results of the injury, he looked at the hurricane detachment, and when he saw that there was only half of the team of more than twenty people left, Wu Feng shook his head helplessly.
"Captain, the packages containing food are all gone, and nearly half of the medicines and equipment are missing. He Kui walked to Wu Feng's side first.
Food doesn't matter, can you starve to death in this huge forest? But the loss of nearly half of the equipment and medicine made Wu Feng feel a little distressed.
At this time, Li Da also walked over, his expression was very ugly, "Captain, except for the second son and the sixth son...... Everyone else escaped. ”
As the captain, it is the responsibility to bring the team members home safely, but hunting is not a tour, and death and injury are inevitable.
Gritting his teeth and nodding, Wu Feng took a deep breath, clenched his fists and bowed in the direction of escape, and the rest of the Tailong detachment also got up one after another when they saw this......
"Captain, this road is getting more and more wrong!" He Kui frowned and thought about it, and said: "First the sawtooth crocodile, and then the man-eating ant, these things don't belong to the periphery of the forest. ”
"That's right, and the beasts that usually inhabit this place are gone. Li Da added.
Unable to bear the soreness in his legs, Wu Feng slowly sat down and plunged the gravel sword straight into the ground, how could Li Da and He Kui not know that there was an ominous premonition from the beginning, but the reason for this has not been clarified until now.
Seeing that Wu Feng didn't answer, Li Da, who was anxious, wanted to ask, but He Kui took the lead.
"Captain, we were only thinking about escaping just now, and we have already deviated from the intended route. He Kui said as he tried to distinguish the location with the help of the moonlight that came and went from time to time.
"Whether we deviate from it or not, the original route is no longer possible, and we have to take a detour. Wu Feng said, "Let the brothers rest again, and rush to the night in half an hour." ”
Li Da and He Kui were ordered to leave, and the former did not forget to glance at the hurricane detachment, and spat out again.
"Bah, what the hell, I didn't even say thank you!"
