Chapter 227: Corpses and Unknown Plants
"Huh... Huh..... Whew....."
The white ant colony was getting closer and closer, and after devouring Hu Yong's three companions, the small body became uniform again after the formation was disrupted, and after a few breaths, it became uniform again.
And from this countless colony of white ants, a majestic momentum appeared, which hit the bodies and minds of the four people head-on, which greatly increased the pressure in the hearts of several people.
Although the white ants are small in size, when they move, they can still maintain a uniform synchronous march under such a number, and they come with an unrivaled momentum, which makes people not only think that their minds have an illusion, but at this time in front of them is not a small colony of ants, but a huge number of well-trained troops after a hundred battles.
And there was another thing that frightened the four of them, that is, the aura that appeared in the body of each ant that appeared here was almost identical, and they were all dantian stage cultivators, which were comparable to ordinary dantian stage cultivators.
Faced with such a large number of white ants, even if Lin Chen and the four of them wanted to open the gap in one of the directions by continuously releasing the powerful innate martial arts, I am afraid that they would be refilled by the white ants that had just appeared from the small mound within a few breaths after the end of the martial arts.
Moreover, their cultivation is here, and the true qi in their bodies is limited after all, and in the early stage of their innate life, they can send out two or three hits of innate martial arts, which has already reached the limit.
In this case, even if the open gap is not refilled by the white ants, they will not be able to walk a distance of fifty meters, and they will have to retreat here again.
In fact, not to mention the four of them, even if it was a true Spirit Pill Stage cultivator facing the predicament in front of him, facing these white ants who were moving like an army and were as quiet as ever, unless he made a breakthrough before they formed an encirclement, he could only wait for death.
At present, countless white ants continue to appear, and the size of the ant colony is still increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if there is no limit to the number of white ants in the small mound.
In just a few dozen breaths, the ant colony has completely occupied all the places within a radius of nearly 100 meters, and there is not a trace of the rest of the open space, and the only thing that exists is the only way out for no ants to appear behind them.
Judging from this situation, there is actually only one way out in front of the four of them now, and there is only one way left, but it is precisely because of this only way out that Hu Yong's faces changed greatly after hearing Lin Chen's discovery.
In fact, even if Lin Chen didn't say it, the three of them would eventually find out the existence of this way out, because this road was not in any other direction, it was between the three mounds, where the slope leading to the mound was located.
"Brother Wang Jing, we are even more unclear about the situation inside, do we really want to take this path?", the early stage cultivator retreated from the scene before the death of his companion, and then said to Wang Jing hesitantly.
Lin Chen was confused while listening, but noticed that when this person said the only choice in front of them now, in addition to the fear in his eyes that he had never seen before, his body would tremble slightly.
And Wang Jing's face also became very gloomy, although he was still wary of the white ant colony that was getting closer and closer to them in his heart, but there was a look of thought in his eyes.
"We have no choice now, and haven't you noticed that their speed has slowed down now? There is only one way to live in the three-sided blockade, I'm afraid this road is specially left for us, as for why, I'm afraid we won't know until we go in", Wang Jing took a deep breath, and then said helplessly as he quickly moved in the direction where the slope was.
Looking at the countless white ant colonies in front of him, Hu Yong's eyes at this time were also a lot more ruthless, and after his eyes swept over everyone's faces, he said hatefully: "I didn't expect that I would have such a day, and I would be forced by these little things to have to obey the way they gave me, it's really ironic."
"But.... But inside...", the other person heard Wang Jing and Hu Yong's analysis of the current situation, and the trembling of his body injury became a little more obvious, and his eyes were completely occupied by fear, looking at the three mounds in the shape of a zigzag, he couldn't stop trembling and said.
This person's words that were not completely uttered also made the faces of Hu Yong and Wang Jing more solemn.
However, after all, Hu Yong is a cultivator who has been wandering between life and death all the year round, and although it took a lot of time to cultivate to the realm of the early stage of innateness, he has impeccable experience in his body.
So just a breath of time, he said very decisively: "There is no other way at the moment, although we are not very clear about the danger inside, but if we don't want to die so soon, then we can only go inside first, and then see the opportunity to act."
"But...", the man said with horror on his face.
"There's nothing to do, if you want to endure endless pain and then become the belly of these ants, I won't stop you, but if we follow their wishes and enter inside, maybe we can think of other ways to leave during this period of time", Wang Jing interrupted what the man was about to say, and at the same time his feet began to speed up.
After listening to Wang Jing's words, this man turned his head to look at the place where his companion who was buried in the ant colony was, and recalled the scene and screams of his companion before his death again in his mind, his body trembled involuntarily, and his eyes were full of extreme fear.
"Gollum...."
After taking a deep swallow, he also hurriedly increased the speed of his run, following closely behind the three of them.
Hu Yong and Wang Jing are not wrong, although the front is full of unknowns, they also have the meaning of gambling when they enter it, but it can leave them more time, and during this time, they can also try to come up with other ways.
"Woo Woo Woo Woo"
As the footsteps of the four moved rapidly, the white ant colony behind them filled in their back path in less than two breaths, and followed closely behind the four people.
"Click"
As for the white ants on the left and right sides of the four of them, except for the constant biting of their mouthparts and making a burst of heart-wrenching sounds, there was no other movement, it seemed that it was just to block the road to the outside and prevent the four from escaping from here.
It's hard to believe that such a regular and intelligent strategy is reflected in the white ants, but it also suggests that they may face greater danger in the future.
"Three seniors, what is in front of you, can you tell the kid a thing or two, so that you can prepare in advance, so as not to touch something taboo", Lin Chen followed closely behind Hu Yong, and asked with a solemn and curious face.
"Hey, you can actually keep up with our speed? It seems that your strength is not as good as your cultivation shows, it's just a good look", Hu Yong realized at this time that Lin Chen's speed was not much different from the speed he showed at this time, and seeing Lin Chen's appearance as if he was at ease, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Hu Yong's words made Lin Chen's heart tense instantly, but he soon noticed that Hu Yong's face was a mixture of solemnity and worry, and this sentence was very bland, obviously his focus was not on it, but on how to escape safely from this already desperate situation.
However, he didn't explain the situation among the three hills to Lin Chen, and said with a little deep meaning: "Junior, if you want to know, it's better to see it with your own eyes, anyway, there is nothing to hide, as long as you don't make trouble for us at that time."
"That's right, after going inside, wait a minute, without the permission of the two of us, you must not leave three meters away from the two of us without permission", Wang Jing also said with some advice.
However, after saying this, he inadvertently glanced at Hu Yong's back, and secretly sneered in his heart.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, maybe this son is the key to us getting out of here alive, and I definitely can't give it to you."
"Hmm?!Wang Jing, you still know me very well, it seems that you have guessed my thoughts, but just like this, you really think that you can control this kid, that is too naïve", sensing the gaze from Wang Jing behind him, Hu Yong also sneered in his heart.
Lin Chen didn't seem to be aware of this, but in his heart, his vigilance against Hu Yong had increased a little again.
The four of them, each with their own ghosts, soon entered the low-lying area, and it was at this time that the four of them noticed at the same time that the three towering mounds were already covered with dense white ants, and the moment they entered, they surrounded them, forcing them forward again.
"Sure enough, these white ants just want to force us to the place where the corpse is, I'm afraid the danger is there", Hu Yong and Wang Jing thought of this at the same time, and the aura on their bodies changed again, becoming more aggressive.
Seeing this, Lin Chen's vigilance in his heart also increased greatly, but he slowed down his pace and walked between Hu Yong and Wang Jing.
Not long after walking forward, a green light suddenly appeared in the dimness, flashing in front of Lin Chen's eyes.
At this time, Lin Chen also noticed that where the green light appeared in front of him, there was a corpse that had long since died and appeared to be half-kneeling, and they were now only three meters away from this corpse.
When he saw this corpse, Lin Chen instantly felt a creepy feeling appear in his heart.
But he soon looked beyond the corpse and saw an emerald green plant directly in front of it, from where the green light that had flashed in front of their eyes just now emanated from its location.
