"What does the flower of the desert look like?" There were simply too many versions outside, even Gan Hua's appearance had changed. Ye Chen wanted a definite answer, since the current situation was such that the guide had no choice but to answer, even though the answer he gave might not be true.
"Small, almost white." The guide gestured, "It's about the size of a fingernail."
Ye Chen nodded, he knew that his teammates would be able to hear the answer, so he paid more attention to it. The guide probably did not dare to lie completely now. Although Ye Chen did not know how much of what he said was true, it was more believable to say that it was Little Flower.
After all, in a place like the desert where there was a shortage of water, it was quite hard to grow into a big flower.
He could distract himself with other things, so Ye Chen, who was completely focused, did not feel that the discomfort on his body was unbearable anymore. The area around the lake was not that big anyway, and Death Squad was currently searching the entire lake.
Forty minutes passed, but they still did not get any results. Doggie and Xiao Fei had already raised their doubts through the microphone, could it be that this guide was making fun of them again?
Ye Chen only said that he would continue to search. Since he had already set a time limit of one hour, he would make full use of it.
Rustle, rustle, rustle …" "Whoosh.
An extremely soft yet strange sound rang out, as if something was quickly crawling on the sand. However, if one listened carefully, it didn't seem like it. He then looked at the guide with suspicion.
At this moment, the guide's face also underwent a drastic change. There was fear and even more unwillingness. He didn't say anything and retreated in the same direction. Although he was still limping, his speed was already much faster than before.
"Run towards the water!" "Faster!" Ye Chen immediately understood the guide's purpose. Although he had not figured out the source of the voice, it was definitely not wrong to follow him.
With regards to Ye Chen's words, they naturally did not doubt his words at all. They gathered in the middle, running around and barking as they ran. Why did they feel like they were faster than them?
Ye Chen pulled Ruo Qing and ran back. The distance they had traveled was not far, so running back was not that tiring, but even so, Ye Chen could still hear the constant sounds coming from his chest. And because of the intense activity, his head hurt so much that he felt like it was about to explode.
"Don't look back!" Seeing that Ruo Qing had curiously looked back and his legs had immediately turned soft, Ye Chen scooped her up and almost dragged her running back. When they were still four or five meters away from the lake, Ye Chen forcefully threw Ruo Qing into the water and followed suit. The familiar feeling of being surrounded by water once again engulfed his entire body.
Ye Chen then looked towards the shore. There was a giant ball rolling towards them, it was only three or four meters away from them. In other words, in just a second or two at night, they would probably be hit by that giant ball!
If one looked carefully, how could that be a ball? It was as if countless giant ants were stuck together, densely packed together to form a sphere with a radius of nearly one meter. It was extremely strange!
After following them to the lakeside, the group of ants suddenly turned around, and some of them still scattered down and fell into the water, struggling on the surface of the water. Each ant was as long as a finger, and Ye Chen pulled them further, not wanting to scare Ruo Qing.
The vultures that were still pecking at the meat suddenly flew up. They reluctantly circled in the air. The dead head wolf had basically been eaten clean by them, but the giant wolf didn't even have the time to move!
The colony of ants quickly rolled towards Giant Blue, and almost without any pause, they grinded over its body. The originally intact giant green suddenly shriveled up, leaving only the hard shell on the outside. All the meat inside had already been eaten clean by the ants!
Then, the people from Death Squad gathered in the lake, but none of them said anything, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them. They had never cared how fast an ant ate, in their eyes, ants were nothing more than mediocre creatures who could easily be stepped on to death, but a group of ants had no choice but to pay attention to them!
If this was the end of the Great Clear, then what if it was a person? It was possible that after being rolled by a ball, only the skull would remain. They could not help but click their tongues because the visual impact was too strong!
The big dog looked at Ye Chen with worshipful eyes. If he didn't remind them, they would probably be reunited on the Road to River Styx. This was a creature that even guns couldn't deal with, not to mention stepping on it like usual …
However, Ye Chen knew that all of this was due to the guidance. Although he did not say anything, he had already used his actions to point out a path for them.
It seemed that people had to be kind at times!
They didn't know if the ants had eaten their fill or if they found out that there was nothing left to eat, so they rolled on without stopping. But they slowed down a lot and slowly spread out, turning into a group of ants that slowly disappeared.
"Oh my god! This is too scary! " The big dog patted his chest. He looked up and down, afraid of any more terrifying creatures in the water. If so, they would be able to escape into the den of tigers and wolves again!
However, the lake water was still the same. Although it was not very clear, in their eyes, it had already become the warmest existence.
"Eh? What is that? " With his sharp eyes, the bald eagle noticed that there were other colours near the head wolf's corpse. He quickly ran up the shore, then turned around and called out to them, "I think I found the flower of the desert!"
"There was nothing there before!" Xiao Fei yelled as he ran towards the head wolf with curiosity. Ye Chen followed the guide and walked over. As expected, it was as the guide had said, light pink, almost white, little flowers that bloomed brightly. Although it was small, it was particularly eye-catching in the desert.
Ye Chen had noticed before that there were indeed no flowers here, only green grass. Although there were bone buds, they did not look like they were going to blossom, but more like they were going to seed. Now, it was possible to see with the naked eye that the bone buds were slowly blooming, revealing a timid pink color.
"It can't be that this flower is blooming because it has the nourishment of blood, right?" The big dog opened its mouth wide. Although it was just guessing, seeing the expression on the guide's face, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
Ye Chen finally understood why the guide was so unhappy when the ants came.
