Just as the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, Thirteenth Elder woke Lin Bai and Sima Yilan up from their bed. Speaking of which, Thirteenth Elder thought that the two of them were a pair, so he only prepared one room. However, he didn't expect that such a ruckus would cause Sima Yilan to blush.

"Great Clan Elder! Look, the Great Clan Elder has come out! " Just as Lin Bai and Sima Yilan were washing their faces with water, they heard a commotion coming from around them. Turning their heads, they saw the Great Clan Elder walking out of the thatched cottage with a cane.

Everyone in the tribe seemed to have gone crazy. Countless people rushed out of their houses, looking in awe at the old man who was standing in front of the thatched cottage with his hand on his forehead, blocking the light of the sky.

"Grand Elder, you're finally willing to see us!" One of the Maya clansmen closest to the Great Clan Elder immediately kneeled on the ground, raised his head, and said to the Great Clan Elder in a trembling voice as tears welled up in his eyes.

Following his actions, all of the Maya clansmen kneeled down on the ground, and tears continued to flow out from their eyes. They had waited far too long for this day. Looking at the old man's gaunt face, the scenes of the Grand Elder leading them in the rain forest appeared in their minds once again. These things would never be forgotten.

"First Elder, our clansmen are still worried about you. Please stop hiding from our clansmen, we can't leave you!" Thirteenth Elder wiped the tears off his face, walking to the Great Clan Elder, raising his head to look at the old man, his voice trembling.

The Great Clan Elder did not speak, after a long sigh, he leaned on his walking stick and walked towards the direction where Lin Bai and Lin Bai were standing. Although the old man had no expression on his face, the corners of his eyes were still moist. He had not seen these clansmen for too many years, and the memories of his youth had been left in his mind.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Cursed Land. Thirteen, come with me! " The Great Clan Elder had his back to the people of the tribe. After looking at Lin Bai and speaking to him indifferently, he led the way into the deeper parts of the rainforest.

The Cursed Land indeed lived up to its name. Just as he arrived at the edge of the area, Lin Bai felt that the aura in his surroundings had become abnormal and out of place with the mysterious aura within the rainforest. From the moment he sensed the Qi, the Nine Palace Water Mirror had been buzzing non-stop.

"Hua Xia's heritage is indeed very long. When my friend Qingfeng brought this mirror over, I already felt that it was very strange." "Even today, I am still shocked to see all these weird sights!" The Great Clan Elder looked at the Nine Palace Water Mirror and sighed softly, his face revealing a look of reminiscence, as if he had returned to the time when he had visited the Cursed Land with his old friend.

Sima Yilan chuckled: "Old man, your words are too biased. The crystal skull you have inherited is extremely mysterious. The power you can display in the Rain Forest is even more powerful than the water mirror in my hands!"

"Only by collecting the thirteen crystal skull would they be able to display their full strength. Otherwise, the only thing you have to do is to walk out of the rainforest. So in the end, your Chinese heritage is still more powerful! " The Great Elder shook his head and said sincerely.

Seeing that the old man was so insistent, Sima Yilan could only nod his head in agreement. But at the same time, Sima Yilan felt even more reverence for the artifact that Lin Bai was holding. In a place like the Cursed Land, not to mention all sorts of strange occurrences happening on the Nine Palace Water Mirror, even the Maya's crystal skull reacted, but Lin Bai's artifact did not make the slightest movement. It was clear that he was not afraid of the power of the curse.

"This is the cursed land!" The few of them moved forward a distance, the Great Clan Elder extended his hand and pointed at a large piece of barren land, and said to Lin Bai and Yue Shan with a trembling voice. It was obvious that this place had once again moved the old man's heart, causing him to recall the tragedy that happened back then.

After Lin Bai and Sima Yilan heard this, they looked towards the curse. It rained heavily in the forest, and every part of the forest was covered with trees. However, the Cursed Land was a barren land, not a single blade of grass growing. There were even piles of earth on the ground.

"Last time when friend Qing Feng and I came here, there were still some trees here. Now, everything is gone. I think they must have been devoured by these man-eating ants." The Great Clan Elder frowned and looked around, then said.

Hearing that, Sima Yilan said: "This is for the best, since they are unable to leave this area, then as long as we finish all the food, they would naturally starve to death, which would save us the time to deal with them!"

"This is not a good thing!" Lin Bai shook his head and frowned: "The survival of the fittest, if it really comes to the day when there is no food to eat, this group of man-eating ants might not do anything, although the Cursed Land has restricted them from going out, but if even the slightest change occurs, it will cause incalculable losses!"

Hearing Lin Bai's words, the Great Clan Elder nodded his head, and said solemnly: "Lin Xiaoyou, you are right. It seems that even if you do not come this time, the remnants of Maya will have to prepare for the rain, and think about how to finish off this group of man-eating ants in a few years!"

While the four of them were talking, a screeching sound suddenly came from the forest in the distance. Then, two monkeys fell down from the nearby trees, clashing with each other. These two monkeys were fighting so fiercely that they had already forgotten all the taboos. With a single step, they stepped into the man-eating ant's nest.

It was calm in the beginning, but suddenly an anomaly appeared all of a sudden. Lin Bai and Sima Yilan both stared at the area in front of them with their mouths wide open, not daring to believe what they were seeing.

Large groups of black-brown man-eating ants suddenly appeared like dark clouds beside the two monkeys. Before the monkeys could escape, their bodies were already crawling with ants. Then, the ants quickly submerged the monkeys' bodies. Following the attacks of the man-eating ants, a strong sour smell started to spread in the air. Although it was some distance away, Sima Yilan and the others still felt a sense of dizziness.

These man-eating ants not only had sharp teeth, but they also emitted a sour atmosphere. This scent was their secret hunting weapon. Even the jackals, tigers, and leopards would faint and become their meal after smelling this smell. The two monkeys' current situation was exactly the same.

In the blink of an eye, the monkey carcasses that were covered by ant colonies became smaller and smaller. When all the flesh and blood was eaten away, the man-eating ants returned to the pile of dirt. At the same time, two naked skeletons appeared on the ground. If Lin Bai and the others did not see it with their own eyes, they would not have dared to believe that a body made of flesh and blood could become eerie white bones in a moment.

"This is the terror of these man-eating ants. If we rashly enter this place, we will end up just like those two monkeys!" The Great Clan Elder sighed, looked at Lin Bai, and whispered.

Hearing the Great Clan Elder's words, Sima Yilan didn't have the slightest reaction, she was already completely dumbstruck by the scene before her. Ever since she was young, she had never seen such a bloody scene. In just a short moment, all her flesh and blood was gone. Just how powerful was this scene?

After Lin Bai heard the Great Clan Elder's words, he turned and looked around. The man-eating ants were too fierce and unstoppable. He had to find another way to deal with them, or else he would never be able to enter this cursed land.

This cursed area was around the size of a basketball court. The ground was flat, but the surroundings were bumpy. Moreover, there were even some strange standing stones. Such landforms are one of the Jedi in feng shui. Feng Shui, Concealed Wind and Water, able to communicate with the five elements, connecting heaven and earth origin energy. But how could this craggy rock stir the earth's energy, and hide the wind and water?

To put it bluntly, this place was connected to the ancestral dragons in the Andes. The air between the two places could not be connected, and the sun and the sky were growing out of discord with the rainforest. Furthermore, it had become a place for murder, which was why cannibal ants would gather here and cause so many tragedies.

According to the Grand Elder, this place had trees, which meant that it was connected to the aura of the earth, but now it was completely barren. This meant that this place and the Andes had completely broken down, and this place was about to become a complete dead zone.

"Lin Xiaoyou, are you able to see through anything?" From Lin Bai's gaze, the Great Clan Elder asked. He felt that the young man beside him might have discovered something.

Lin Bai nodded his head and said softly, "According to my deductions, these man-eating ants should be able to leave the Cursed Land in less than a few years. In a few months, they might have to leave this place and completely occupy this rainforest!"

"How many months?!" The Great Elder's face revealed a hint of shock. After his emotions had calmed down for a moment, he solemnly looked at Lin Bai and asked: "Lin Xiaoyou, are you sure?"

"I'm sure! Moreover, a few months is the best time to estimate the probability of a disturbance among the ants. " After a moment of silence, Lin Bai turned to look at the hordes of ants patrolling the Cursed Land and frowned.
