"Even though our ancestors warned us that the Cursed Land was an extremely dangerous place and we need to be cautious. "At that time, my friend Qingfeng and I were young and vigorous, and we both felt that both of our methods were not weak. We brought three or four people into the Cursed Land with a clap of our hands," With that, the Great Elder revealed a wry expression, as if he was thinking back to the bitter scene in the Cursed Land.

Sima Yilan looked at the still trembling corner of the old man's mouth, and said in a low voice: "Senior, what exactly happened in the Cursed Land?"

"Man-eating ants, that area is actually filled with man-eating ants' lairs!" The Great Clan Elder's lips moved for a moment, and then he said with a trembling voice, "When we entered the cursed land and saw the piles of bones of the beasts, we felt that something was wrong. However, we didn't expect that the moment we started moving, we would provoke the attacks of the man-eating ants.

Hearing the Great Clan Elder's words, Lin Bai's face immediately revealed shock. The man-eating ants, also known as brown ants, were roughly the size of a fist. They were ferocious and swept through the world. Even the jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards could not fight against them.

The man-eating ants had an extremely mixed diet, from the various plants and animals on the ground to the dried up branches and rotten meat, there was almost nothing they didn't eat. Although their appearances were not too astonishing, they had a large appetite. No matter how big a human or beast they were, they were all within their hunting range.

If the man-eating ants discovered any prey, they would swarm in from all directions. After the ants dispersed, all that was left on the ground was a pile of bones. Even big carnivores like tigers and lions, or even humans, would not have any chance to escape once they were attacked by this ant colony.

Looking at the Great Elder's pained expression, Lin Bai could practically imagine the situation back then. Countless black ants surged towards the Great Elder and Sima Qingfeng's group like a tide, and then, they engulfed those who had no time to dodge. In just a few breaths of time, they would be engulfed into dense white bones by the man-eating ants.

"I watched as my companion's body turned into bones, yet I didn't even have the means to fight back. Even now, when I close my eyes, it's as though that scene is still unfolding before me …" The grand elder wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes as he spoke.

The tribe was only this big and everyone was familiar with each other. Those who were willing to follow the Great Elder to the Cursed Land were probably all on good terms with him. To suffer such a disaster, not to mention the families, even the Great Elder must feel guilty!

"Senior, I ask that you grieve for the passing of the deceased." Sima Yilan consoled the Great Clan Elder and continued, "Insects and the like fear fire, and ants like them live on the ground. We can give it a try with our fire attacks! "

"This method will not work. I've watched TV before, and it says that although ants can't swim, whenever they feel that there's going to be less fire, they gather together, layer by layer, and roll in little balls into the river and swim to the other side. Although the ants on the outer layer will be drowned, most of them will still retaliate with even more ferocity. " Lin Bai shook his head.

The Great Elder nodded and sighed, "At first, my friend Qing Feng and I had the same idea. We wanted to use the fire to burn those man-eating ants, but we didn't expect them to make such a move with the help of the river of the Cursed Land. Thankfully, these man-eating ants were confined to the Cursed Land and could not be spread out. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable! "

Things like man-eating ants did not have any natural enemies in the rainforest. If they spread out from the cursed land, not only would it be a disaster for the remnants of the Maya tribe, it would also be a disaster for the entire rainforest. The man-eating ants ate everything. The moment the trees and animals left the cursed land, there would only be one outcome waiting for them in the rainforest, and that was becoming a desert.

"We tried everything, but we couldn't find any solution. We had no choice but to believe that it was the will of heaven. After staying in the tribe for a few days, old friend Qingfeng came back to Huaxia!" The Great Elder sighed and said, "I didn't expect that after this separation, it would already be the difference between heaven and earth."

Sima Yilan and Lin Bai were speechless for a long time after hearing this. Originally, they had been overjoyed to hear that this tribe was a bloody land. However, after listening to the Grand Elder's explanation, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads. The little flame of excitement in their hearts was directly extinguished.

"Then do we have any other solutions?" Sima Yilan raised his head, looked at the Great Clan Elder and pleaded, "I know that the remnants of the Maya are proficient in divination techniques. I wonder if Great Clan Elder can predict if there will be a turning point in this matter."

"Legends have been around since ancient times. In Drayton's manuscript, when the pyramid blossoms with light like that of the sun god, when the Amazon flows reverse, the dragon will descend upon the Cursed Land, turning it into a fertile soil, a fertile land cultivated by the remnants of the Maya's clan!" The Great Elder shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The pyramid blossomed with light as bright as a sun god! Amazon backflow! A giant dragon descended on the cursed land! How could the mysterious words possibly appear? This was because of the reversal of water flow in the Amazon. If they had to rely on human manpower to change the situation, then it would take a huge price to carve out many mountain ranges. Even if they had to spend their entire lives, they would never be able to see that day!

"This is the language of our ancestors, our Maya's legacy has its own rules, regarding the matters that our ancestors predicted, the younger generations cannot have any speculations, nor can they make another prophecy, if not they will cause the sun god to become angry!" The first elder's eyes were filled with bitterness as he replied.

In fact, it was very simple to have a rule like this, the prophecy and the divination techniques in the Chinese phase technique were no different from each other. For a major event like this, one could only guess his approximate course of action. If one pursued him relentlessly, if one wanted to investigate in detail, it would result in the backlash of the heaven and earth.

"Lin Bai, what should we do?" After Sima Yilan heard the Great Clan Elder's words, his mind was in a mess. He no longer had any thoughts in his head, he anxiously looked at Lin Bai, wanting to get an answer from his mouth.

Lin Bai shook his head, and said softly: "According to what the Great Clan Elder said, I do not have a solution, but it would be best if I could go to the Cursed Land and take a look, I might be able to find a solution!"

"There's no time to lose, let's go now!" Sima Yilan's personality was extremely anxious, upon hearing Lin Bai's words, he pleaded at the Great Clan Elder, but as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach continued to grumble.

Hearing that voice, Sima Yilan's face turned red, and the Great Clan Elder laughed: "It is already late, when night falls, we cannot see anything, and those man-eating ants are extremely sensitive to fire after being burned, if we were to go with a torch, we might not be able to trigger their attacks. It would be better if we eat today, and then I'll bring the two of you over tomorrow! "

"Grand Elder, the bonfire party has been prepared. Members of the clan all wish for you to join them. " Just as the Great Clan Elder finished speaking, the Thirteenth Elder walked in from outside with a hopeful expression and said to the Great Clan Elder.

The Head Elder shook his head and sighed, "You should treat the guests well. As for me, it's the same as usual. After my clansmen finish eating, I'll take the rest of the items to my thatched cottage."

Hearing the Great Clan Elder's words, Thirteenth Elder's expression darkened, but he did not say anything more. He brought Lin Bai and Sima Yilan out of the room.

"Why isn't Grand Elder participating in the bonfire dinner with his clansmen? Is there some sort of secret?" Lin Bai saw that the Thirteenth Elder's expression was extremely gloomy and asked.

Thirteenth Elder nodded his head and said in a deep voice, "After the incident at the Cursed Soil Sect, Great Clan Elder felt that he had let his clansmen down. After sending Senior Qing Feng away, the Great Elder felt ashamed of his clansmen, so he passed on his position as an elder to me. Afterwards, he went into the thatched cottage to avoid going out and pray for the blessings of his fellow clansmen, and only ate the leftover food of his clansmen. "

"The truth is that the clansmen are still extremely respectful to the Great Elder. It's just that the Great Elder is unable to get rid of that knot in his heart." Thirteenth Elder raised his hand to wipe the tears at the corner of his eyes, and said: "If he is able to attend the bonfire dinner, I, your clan, will definitely be very happy! Forget it, let's not talk about this in front of the two esteemed guests. Let's hurry up and attend the banquet, our clansmen are waiting for us! "

The flames burned vigorously, illuminating the night. The dinner was prepared extremely well, not only were there corn bread and barbecue, which were commonly seen in the Mexico, but even the two of them did not expect that there would be chocolate in the Forsaken God Clan of the Maya. With just a question, the two of them realized that chocolate was a specialty of the people of the Maya, and they could be said to be the first people in the world to make chocolate!

After the banquet, there was a grand bonfire party. The tribesmen were exceptionally hospitable. Not only did he give the best food to Lin Bai and Sima Yilan, he even showed them his most beautiful dancing moves. Seeing these people dancing as if worshipping the heavens, Lin Bai's heart was full of emotion.

But even if the food was tasty and the dancing was beautiful, Sima Yilan was still in low spirits. She had planned for a long time to come to this conclusion, but did not expect it to end up like this.

"Drinking and pecking, all with a certain number of days. Miss Yi Lan, you don't need to be anxious, there will be a road ahead of us when we get to the mountain. Both of us have good luck along the way, I think that we will definitely find a way to deal with the man-eating ants in the Cursed Land! " Lin Bai reached out to hold Sima Yilan's hand and softly said.

The temperature spread from his palm to Sima Yilan's body, and his heart, which had already lost all hope, finally ignited into a small flame once again.
