NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 731 City Lord, Leave Now
In the fog, Jiang You rode his motorcycle quickly through the dead and charred jungle.
Behind us are towering trees that keep falling down. Even though these trees are dead, they are still tall. In front of us is a dead tree forest that stretches as far as the eye can see.
There were bursts of rustling sounds coming from all directions, sometimes far away, sometimes near, everywhere, everywhere!
Judging from the sound, they seemed to have mistakenly entered an ant colony.
Jiang You used his special powers to create breezes that silently blew away the thick fog around him.
As the thick fog thinned, the true situation was exposed, and Jiang You's heart finally died.
On all sides, there were densely packed giant man-eating ants. Their bodies were huge and terrifying, and their pincers flashed with cold light like huge sickles.
These man-eating ants moved in an orderly manner in the thick fog. A group of red ants moved in groups across the charred land, like flowing blood.
Some were cutting down big trees, and some had just emerged from the soil.
It goes without saying that what Jiang You and the others are standing on is a huge ant nest...
As the thick fog dissipated, these man-eating ants were all stunned for a moment.
Pairs of red eyes were searching everywhere. Perhaps because the human body was too small compared to them, they did not notice the two more people here at first.
Only at this moment did Jiang You realize that the man-eating ant behind him was not chasing them, but its job was probably to cut down trees.
Now that the fog has dissipated, if she acts rashly again and is noticed by the man-eating ants, she will be really doomed.
At this point, she had no choice but to take a gamble.
A drop of cold sweat ran down Jiang You's forehead.
Jiang You stopped the motorcycle and stood there quietly.
Feng Gui was already pale with fear. The old man had seen a lot of things in his life, but he had never seen anything as big as this!
Seeing that Jiang You actually stopped the car at this critical moment, he naturally thought that she had given up resistance.
"Jiang, City Lord, I... I think we can still try a little harder..." Is it too early to give up now?
Jiang You, "Shut up and get out of the car."
Feng Gui climbed out of the car using his hands and feet, his legs shaking like sieves.
Jiang You put the car into the space and said, "Listen, the man-eating ant just now doesn't seem to be chasing us. Keep quiet and follow me."
In Four Seasons Valley, when Jiang You saw the man-eating ants, he realized how terrifying these "little cuties" could be when they were magnified.
But now, the man-eating ants in the fog are all huge in size. The largest one is close to five or six meters, and the smallest is four meters tall. Each one is as big as an ancient behemoth.
Coupled with its terrifying appearance, it makes my scalp tingle just by looking at it.
Sure enough, the smaller the insect or animal, the more terrifying it becomes when it is infinitely magnified, like a fucking alien creature!
In front of them, a human may look like a kitten or a mouse.
So the ant just now was probably not chasing them at all, it was just doing its own thing normally.
After all, if humans cut down a tree and kill an insect, can it be said that they are deliberately killing the insect?
The bug just happened to be standing in the direction where the tree fell.
And now, they just haven't been paying attention to the two "little bugs."
Jiang You carefully observed the ant that had a special liking for cutting down trees. It kept using the cover of the surrounding dead trees to move away from the area step by step.
Feng Gui followed behind tremblingly.
After walking for a few minutes, they saw that the ant behind them was not following them.
Feng Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang You also breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them continued walking forward.
The huge ants around them didn't take the two little creatures seriously and were busy with their own things.
It seemed that the two were about to escape and leave the range of the ant colony.
But at this moment, the touch from the soles of her feet made Jiang You realize that she had stepped on something, but gravity had already pressed down on her, and it was too late to retract her feet.
"Click..."
A soft sound.
The sound was very light and crisp, like the sound of an eggshell cracking when someone accidentally steps on it.
Jiang You looked down at his sticky feet and the crushed, gray, rough eggshells.
She raised her head and looked forward.
In front of the two people, there were countless such eggshells, densely packed like pebbles on a river beach.
Jiang You's tense nerves broke.
Feng Gui's heart was hanging in the air.
With a slight sound, the busy sounds around disappeared instantly.
Red eyeballs looked at the two of them through the thin fog.
The two antennae on the head of the ant closest to them vibrated wildly, making a buzzing sound.
The surroundings responded quickly, and in an instant, the sound spread in all directions.
"This is... stepping on a bomb..." Jiang You smiled bitterly.
Feng Gui's face was tense and he was constantly thinking about something in his mind.
At first, she thought these irregular shapes were stones, but she didn't expect them to be ant eggs.
In her impression, all the mutant ants she had seen would, without exception, hide their eggs in hidden caves for safekeeping. She had never seen any of them place their eggs so openly on the ground.
These man-eating ants instantly went crazy and rushed towards Jiang You and the others.
Before Jiang You could say anything, Feng Gui started yelling first.
"City Lord, we really can't escape this time. You go first. I will delay for as long as I can! Remember to take Ah Shui with you!"
"Let's go!"
Human beings' fear of death is engraved in their genes, and no one can completely ignore it.
But the difference between humans and beasts is that they have stronger emotions and rationality to suppress their desires and fears.
Feng Gui picked up a piece of tree trunk as thick as his arm and yelled to Jiang You, "City Lord, hurry up! Don't forget Ah Shui!"
That cloudy eye was full of determination.
The small and thin body stood in front of Jiang You, facing the ant beast face to face.
He knew that his strength was like a floating object trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot; it was useless...but...but...
He gritted his teeth.
Ah Shui, grandpa has found a way out for you, you must live well!
These days, he has also realized that Jiang You is not a heartless and ungrateful person.
As long as he died here today, regardless of whether it was useful or not, Jiang You should be more tolerant of A Shui for the sake of this matter.
The old and skinny man hugged the tree trunk and rushed towards the ant colony. There was no fear on his face, but instead an inexplicable expectation and determination.
From the moment he went out to fight, the elderly veteran decided to leave his life on the battlefield and leave the glory of a martyr to his sons at home.
"The old man is going to fight you guys!!!"
"City Lord, please leave quickly...ah..."
"what?"
Feng Gui had already rushed under the man-eating ant's pincers, which were clamping down on him. He was about to be cut in two, but at this moment.
He suddenly found his feet lightening, and the whole person was dragged up and flew backwards by an invisible force.
Feng Gui watched himself getting farther and farther away from the ground, and higher and higher.
Some didn't respond.
When I looked up, I saw Jiang You holding the collar of his neck and flying.
Fly...fly up...
He stared blankly at the roaring ants gradually fading away, feeling as if he were dreaming.
It was clearly a life-and-death crisis. Logically, it should have been a fight to the death, but why... it just flew up like that...
"City Lord...you...can also fly..." he asked dryly, not daring to look down. This old man who was afraid of heights even when crossing a single-plank bridge never dreamed that he had been conservative all his life.
One day, not only will we be able to drive flying cars, but we will also be able to fly.
Jiang You ignored him and looked around carefully.
When she flies, she will use her special powers to disperse the thick fog around her in advance to make her vision as clear as possible.
After leaving the threat of the ant colony, he took out a black umbrella from the space, hooked the handle of the black umbrella on Feng Gui's collar, and hung him as he walked forward.
Just like that, a strange scene appeared in the silent foggy area.
A woman was walking in the wind in front, followed by a big black umbrella. On the umbrella hook was a hunchbacked old man who was covering his eyes and shivering.
The old man looked like he was about to fall apart.
