"Lin Xiaoyou, you can't speak carelessly about this matter. You must look carefully before coming to a conclusion!" Thirteenth Elder looked at Lin Bai with a terrified face as he spoke anxiously.
The Man-eating Ants did not have any natural enemies in the Amazon Rainforest. The Cursed Land had accumulated over the years, and there were dozens of Man-eating Ants living on the ground. If all of these Man-eating Ants came out of the Cursed Land, it would be a disaster for the Rain Forest. Wherever the man-eating ants went, not a single blade of grass would remain. This piece of land that was the last paradise for the people of Maya would no longer exist!
"I'm not joking!" Just as he was about to explain, Lin Bai suddenly smelled a sour smell from his surroundings. The smell became stronger and stronger, and when he turned around in shock, Lin Bai shouted out: "Everyone quickly retreat, the man-eating ants have already come out!"
When the crowd heard Lin Bai's words, their faces instantly turned pale white. Looking around, he discovered that the man-eating ants had unknowingly climbed all around them, eyeing them covetously. Moreover, these ants were even more different from ordinary man-eating ants. Each of them was around the size of two fists, and they shined with a dark luster under the shine of the sun in the rainforest.
Lin Bai and the rest wanted to escape, but the man-eating ants in the Cursed Land seemed to have already been prepared, and instantly crawled out crazily from within. Waves after waves of black ants started to flow like a fountain, and instantly stained the ground black. There were definitely billions of these man-eating ants, and looking at how they were acting, Lin Bai and the others could not care less as they anxiously ran forward.
However, just as they took a few steps forward, rustling sounds like rain came from the surrounding forest. In an instant, another man-eating ant appeared in front of them. These man-eating ants were like an army that was proficient in military tactics, wanting to make a dumpling out of Lin Bai's group.
"Run towards the northeast, the connection between the earth vein and the Ancestral Dragon has yet to be broken. They can't head in that direction yet!" Lin Bai extended his hand out to count, then shouted sternly to everyone.
Without hesitation, they rushed towards the southeast according to Lin Bai's instructions. Under such a critical situation, the Thirteenth Elder did not care about teaching in the forest anymore, taking the machete from Lin Bai's hand, he rushed towards the thorny bushes blocking their path. After running for an unknown amount of time, Sima Yilan's feet slipped and fell onto the ground. His calves were pierced by a dried up branch, and fresh blood flowed in all directions.
The sweet smell of fresh blood filled the air. After the man-eating ants smelled it, they became even more crazed. The sound of two large teeth grinding could be heard from far away. Sima Yilan struggled to get up, but the pain had run through his entire body, but he was unable to move at all. Seeing her like that, Lin Bai anxiously turned back, and without saying a word, placed her on his shoulder.
Even though Lin Bai had trained his body from a young age in the Maoshan and wandered around in the martial arts world after going down the mountain, his physique was far superior to ordinary people. However, while carrying a person on their shoulders and traversing through the dense brambles of the rainforest, their speed unconsciously slowed down. As for the man-eating ants, they seemed to have locked onto a few people like maggots, constantly chasing, getting closer and closer.
"Lin Bai, let me down. Quickly leave with the Nine Palace Water Mirror, or we will both die in the mouth of the ants!" Sima Yilan's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Lin Bai. A moment ago, Lin Bai's actions had already completely opened the girl's heart.
Lin Bai acted as if he did not hear anything, and hugged Sima Yilan even more tightly. Sima Yilan reached out to wipe his tears, and said hoarsely: "Lin Bai, I beg you, please let me down. It's better for one person to live than to die two!"
"Shut up, if you don't want to drag me down, then obediently lie down and don't move! If we're going to die together, I don't believe these bastards will be able to eat me! " Lin Bai reached out and patted Sima Yilan's perky butt, and said fiercely. Although it felt good, and the tentacles were elastic, under these circumstances, Lin Bai could not think too much into it.
After Sima Yilan felt Lin Bai's movements, his face flushed red. It was not because of the contact between Lin Bai's hands and his own skin, but it was because of Lin Bai's words "even if I die, I want to stay together". With that said, Sima Yilan did not struggle anymore and quietly laid on Lin Bai's back. He did not make a sound, and in his heart he quietly prayed to the gods and buddhas to protect him.
Huff, puff! Lin Bai's breathing became more and more ragged, and when he felt that he had taken a step forward, the aching pain in his body deepened.
"There's water in front, quickly Lin Bai!" Just at this time, the Thirteenth Elder in front shouted. Following the sound of his words, the sound of water flowing could be heard by Lin Bai's ears. A look of happiness appeared in her eyes, she mustered all of her strength, and Lin Bai quickly rushed forward.
After they hurriedly passed through the bridge, Lin Bai placed Sima Yilan on the ground, then picked up the mountain knife in her hands and pounced towards the bridgehead with Thirteenth Elder. The bridges in the rainforest were made from vines and dried up wood. After years of being weathered by wind and rain, they had long since rotted away. After a few slashes, the bridges creaked before falling into the water.
"Motherf * cker, you actually forced me to this extent. Someday, I will definitely get rid of all of you animals!" Seeing the bridge being pushed down by the rushing water current, Lin Bai's eyes were filled with viciousness. From his debut until now, no matter whether it was the old fogeys from the Longhu Mountains or the deranged Ai Weier, none of them had ever forced him into such a miserable state.
With the help of the river, the ants finally stopped moving. However, the other side of the river had become a living hell. Wave after wave of black ants flooded the entire area. The trees on the other side of the river were melting at a speed visible to the naked eye. The animals in the forest were completely frightened by the ant swarm.
The rancid smell of the man-eating ants, as well as the smell of their flesh and blood being torn apart, entered their noses one after another. As long as the animals on the other side were covered by the ants, they would instantly turn into a pile of bones. The blood that flowed out from the torn flesh of those animals dyed the originally clear water red.
"Bastards! They are all beasts!" Looking at the beasts struggling in the midst of the ants, Sima Yilan's eyes filled with tears. The animals in the rainforest were used to living a life where no one fought back. Under the attacks of these ferocious man-eating ants, they had no way of fighting back. Even if they struggled, it would be useless.
Thirteenth Elder knelt to the ground with tears in her eyes, raising her hands high up into the air, looking at the sun that was emitting hot rays of light silently above, she said with a trembling voice: "sun god, do you want to see your citizens being slaughtered by these man-eating ants?! Or could it be that you have abandoned us and are no longer willing to shine your light on us?! "
The Great Clan Elder looked at the incomparably sorrowful Thirteenth Elder as his lips moved, but he could not say a single word. In the end, he knelt down next to the Thirteenth Elder and stretched out his hands, prostrating himself on the ground.
"Even if we pray now, it's useless. We should hurry back to the tribe and discuss the plan of retreat!" "If we wait any longer and wait for the southeast direction's final barrier to fail, then we will really die!" Lin Bai turned to look at the Great Clan Elder, and said solemnly.
The Great Clan Elder struggled to stand up after hearing that. Then, he patted Thirteenth Elder's shoulders and whispered, "Thirteen, Lin Bai is right, now is not the time to be grieving. We need to think of a solution, if not, we really will not have the face to worship the gods anymore!"
Thirteenth Elder didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he stood up. "After wandering around for a while, he found a few branches and tore off the old skin. After the bark was removed, it revealed a red branch and the air was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.
"All these have a miraculous effect on healing wounds. Lin Bai, you should coat Miss Yi Lan with these. The tribe's business is entirely dependent on you. I hope you can help us through this crisis! " After the Thirteenth Elder passed the red branches to Lin Bai, he said solemnly.
Lin Bai did not speak, he only took the branches that were gathered in his hands and placed them on Sima Yilan's wounds. Then, he hugged Sima Yilan tightly as he turned his head to look at the man-eating ants that were eyeing him covetously from the other side of the river, and said with a heavy voice: "I shall do my best and obey the heavens. I hope we can survive this disaster! "
Although the group of ants could be moved to other parts of the rainforest, as long as the colony of ants still existed, the rainforest would eventually become red soil. At that time, the Maya's people would have to leave the forest, but they were already used to living in the rain forest, so if they were to leave the rainforest, the things waiting for them in the outside world would not be any weaker than man-eating ants!
However, Lin Bai was more clear about the current situation of the situation. These man-eating ants could be said to be the most ferocious animals in the world, and there was no one among them. After being trapped in the Cursed Land for so many years, their viciousness had increased to the extreme. There were no rivals in the rain forest. Moreover, these things were astonishingly fertile, and the momentum of their expansion was already evident.
When Lin Bai and the others returned to the village, the Maya remnants had already gathered around the pyramid. The upper reaches of the river had already contaminated the river in front of the village, and they had already guessed what would happen next.
"The calamity for the remnants of the Maya has finally arrived, and the prophecy left behind by our ancestors has also become a reality. The man-eating ants have left the cursed grounds, what awaited us was a battle to the death!" Thirteenth Elder looked at his clansmen in front of him and said solemnly.
However, none of the clansmen said a word. All of their gazes were focused on the grand elder who was standing beside him. Looking at the pairs of hopeful eyes in front of him, the Great Elder's lips trembled, and he said, "A fight to the death, never ending until one side dies. For the glory of the gods, for the Maya!"
