Chapter 225: White Ants
The sudden strange sound startled all five people in the mound, and the same question appeared in the minds of almost all of them.
"What the hell is that?"
Especially Hu Yong and Wang Jing, who were fighting against their breath, the first time they heard this sound, the breath on their bodies was stunned, and they began to separate their perceptions around them, in order to find out the source of the sound, and their eyes were full of doubts and vigilance.
However, although the confrontation between the four of them has been temporarily relaxed, in this case, their defense against each other has increased a lot.
And in this situation where the skin has been completely torn, even if they are facing unknown dangers, it is impossible for the four of them to believe in each other again, and what needs to be guarded against is not the unknown danger, but the ugly side of human nature.
Whether human nature is inherently good or evil cannot be said in a word, and no one can judge the right and wrong of others based on what they show on the surface.
However, in the spiritual world, no matter how long it has been cleansed, no matter how many changes have taken place in the times, there are two kinds of human desires that have always existed, that is, greed and selfish desire.
The world is a world of the jungle, and the same is true in the cultivation world, and this kind of law is more cruel than the ordinary world, just like Hu Yong and Wang Jing in front of them, for the sake of the treasures they said, they even did not hesitate to betray their companions who had decades of life and death friendship, and still chose to kill without hesitation.
The most chilling thing is that they do not feel any inappropriateness or remorse for this kind of behavior, it is completely out of their true hearts, from the most genuine thoughts in their hearts.
As for the other two, although they did not reveal their greed for such a treasure, this could be detected by their current actions and their wariness of looking at the rest.
Of course, even Lin Chen is naturally not immune, in the final analysis, he is just one of many living beings, and he is not a saint who does not eat fireworks, let alone a ruthless person who is desperate and desperatory, and there is naturally greed in his heart.
This is especially true of selfish desires, especially when practitioners are facing a life-and-death crisis, as long as they have the hope of surviving, they can use it without hesitation, no matter what the means.
"Huh..... Whew...... Whew......."
The continuous and strange sounds still resounded in the ears of the five people, and they could be detected that the sounds were getting closer and closer to them, but in their sight, except for the small mound around them, there was nothing to be found.
The already dry air became strange and dull, and every strange sound was like a bell and drum from death, wave after wave of impact on everyone's heart, making their tense hearts gradually filled with fear, and the shadow of death in their hearts was even more over everyone's body.
"Wang Jing, you have also seen the current situation, I'm afraid this is the reason why that strong man in the middle of the congenital period fell here, we might as well put aside each other's grudges first, and work together to get through this difficult situation that arises now?", Hu Yong looked at Wang Jing with a gloomy face after carefully inspecting everything around him, and hurriedly said solemnly.
However, when Hu Yong said this, his body shook slightly, but it quickly returned to normal, so except for Lin Chen, who had been paying attention to the confrontation between several people, no one else noticed.
Wang Jing also knew that the sound that suddenly appeared now was too weird, and after Hu Yong talked about the deceased mid-innate cultivator, his heart also began to beat sharply, and the wisp of uneasiness that already existed in his heart became stronger and stronger.
So when Hu Yong first showed weakness and then proposed to stop, he didn't hesitate too much, he already had this plan in his heart, but finally glanced at Hu Yong like a warning, and then said: "Then as you said, the matter between us will be mentioned after we get through the current difficulties, but you had better understand and don't have any other ideas."
"Don't worry, as long as you don't come to deliberately make trouble for me at this life-and-death juncture, I believe we will get along very happily", Hu Yong's breath instantly closed, and then said with a little meaning.
As Hu Yong withdrew his breath first, Wang Jing and the three of them felt a lot more relaxed, and the four who had already split quickly reached an agreement, but they did not get close to each other.
Lin Chen watched vigilantly from beginning to end, and was not too surprised that the four of them would let go of each other's contradictions again and cooperate again.
I also sighed secretly in my heart, but I didn't deny that the collaboration proposed by the four of them at this time was the most correct choice, but it was unknown whether they really thought like this in their hearts.
"Now that the four seniors have reached an agreement, I don't know what to do with the juniors?", Lin Chen sensed that Lin Zi'er and the little squirrel's breath was quickly moving away from here, thinking that the little squirrel had already sensed the danger before doing so, his heart suddenly settled down a lot, so he suddenly asked, but his face was very calm.
Hu Yong heard Lin Chen's inquiry, and although he wondered why Lin Chen was still standing so calmly, he didn't think too much about it out of confidence in his own strength.
And now they have to face unknown dangers, and the best choice is naturally to join hands to fight the next danger, rather than continue to fight between the five.
"It's time for this kid to appear, and in this situation, maybe he can play other uses", Hu Yong thought quickly in his heart, and an imperceptible insidiousness appeared on his face.
And on the faces of Wang Jing and the three of them, there were also similar subtle changes.
Pretending to think seriously, Hu Yong said quickly: "Boy, looking at your appearance, it doesn't seem that you are afraid of the current danger, although I don't know what kind of means you have, but the four of us are your predecessors after all, but we can accept you temporarily, as long as we hand over that kind of thing as a reward afterwards."
Hearing Hu Yong's request, Lin Chen's brows first frowned, there was a hint of struggle in his eyes, a trace of pain appeared on his face, and his breathing was even heavier, as if he was considering Hu Yong's proposal, but soon he gritted his teeth, and a touch of determination appeared in his eyes.
Looking at the four early congenital cultivators with different expressions in front of him, Lin Chen said with some sadness and indignation: "Okay, since the four seniors can provide shelter for the juniors, as long as they can safely get out of the danger here, the kid will definitely thank him with that thing."
However, at the last moment, Lin Chen's face changed from grief and anger to resolute death, and he said fiercely: "But the four seniors also promise not to attack the kid, otherwise the kid will be in danger of losing his life, and he will destroy that thing."
Lin Chen's face was very resolute, and Hu Yong and Wang Jing also flashed a trace of surprise in their eyes when they saw this, but they quickly returned to normal.
And at this time, the bursts of "huh" sound were already extremely close to them, and in their senses, they were already extremely close, even within three meters of them.
But in their perception, there was still nothing to discover, as if the sound that appeared in their ears came from the depths of their souls, and it was strange beyond words.
"Ah!!Damn, I know what it is", but just when everyone was puzzled, Hu Yong, who had the highest cultivation among the people, suddenly exclaimed, and then slapped the back of his neck fiercely, and then slapped it in several other places on his body.
In the face of Hu Yong's sudden movement, everyone was shocked, and their vigilance increased a lot again, and then they all looked at Hu Yong, who was constantly slapping his body and jumping at this time, but they didn't know why he caused him to do such a strange behavior.
However, Hu Yong quickly stopped, and suddenly moved away from a small mound, and then turned his head to look at the four people who did not know why, but his face was very frightened and frightened at this time.
"You have gathered here quickly, otherwise it will be too late", shouted Hu Yong, who had stopped, and stretched out his right hand to everyone.
"Hmph, if you find something, you might as well say it directly, why do we all need to get together?", Wang Jing said with a sneer, although he was surprised by Hu Yong's frightened reaction.
However, Lin Chen did not hesitate, when Hu Yong said this, his right foot drew an arc on the white sand, and after splashing the sand in the sky, a light appeared in his eyes, and he ran quickly under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he came to a meter in front of Hu Yong, and his eyes were firmly fixed between the two fingers of Hu Yong's right hand.
Wang Jing and the others were stunned for some reason when they saw Lin Chen's movements, but they soon noticed that between the thumb and index finger of Hu Yong's right hand, they were pinching a small white ant with all their might.
This white ant is very small, except for the appearance of the whole body white, the overall appearance is the same as ordinary ants, to say that the only difference is that its small eyes have a clear blood-colored light.
And while this ant was constantly struggling, in its tiny body, there was an aura that was comparable to that of an ordinary dantian stage cultivator.
Moreover, the ant itself has a power beyond the norm, so when it is constantly struggling, Hu Yong, who has an innate early stage of cultivation, needs to try his best to pinch it in order not to let it break free from between his fingers.
"What kind of ant is this? It actually has such a strong strength!!! If it is .....", Wang Jing exclaimed directly, but finally subconsciously looked at the white sand beside him, his face changed in an instant, and he jumped up without any hesitation and fell behind Hu Yong, whose face also changed greatly.
After Wang Jing's words, the other two people thought of a possibility, and after taking a look at the white sand around them, they both made a choice that was the same as Wang Jing.
