As he watched the soldiers go down into the ditch, Xiao Yiju still squinted his eyes to look at the bridges.
There seems to be something strange on the bridge.
"Master, should we go down?"
Yang Quan asked Xiao Yiju.
Xiao Yiju said, "No rush."
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be an accident here."
"What's the meaning?"
Yang Quan was puzzled.
"Just watch!"
Xiao Yiju said.
The first group of nine had already walked about ten meters when one soldier suddenly stopped and started scratching his neck: "It's itchy!"
His words made it so itchy that the first group that went down the pit began to feel extremely itchy all over their bodies!
"Why is it so itchy?"
One soldier couldn't stand the itchiness anymore and took off his shirt. In the light of the torch, he saw that his body was densely covered with transparent ants the size of sesame seeds!
"What's this?"
He tried his best to slap the little ants on his body, but the ants were too small to be slapped.
What was even worse was that he soon felt burning and tearing pain all over his body.
Then he found that these damn ants were actually biting his body.
Although these ants were small in size, they bit very quickly and in large numbers. In just a short while, countless bloody holes appeared on his body!
"Boss, save me!"
The soldier was so scared that he wanted to run towards the pit, but after only two steps, he lost all his strength and fell down with a scream.
Where he fell, more ants quickly emerged from the ground.
They poured into his mouth, nose and ears like a tide. In just a few minutes, the soldier who was rolling and struggling on the ground turned into a pile of bones.
"What's this?"
Jiang Yan covered his mouth and forced himself to calm down.
Although these ants are much smaller than the hell leeches, they are just as terrifying.
"Man-eating ants."
Yang Quan's voice was noticeably dry.
Although he had never seen this terrifying animal before, he had heard of it.
Although this kind of ant is small in size, it can kill gods and Buddhas in the jungle thanks to its huge population. Wherever it goes, no grass will grow.
In the jungle, when encountering man-eating ants, even elephants have to give way to them.
Who would have thought that such a terrifying existence was lurking in this ancient and mysterious underground palace.
"Help!"
At this time, the other soldiers in the ditch also began to have attacks. They took off their clothes and scratched desperately, but every time they scratched a bloody mark, the man-eating ants would swarm over and tear their flesh.
At this time, the ditch was densely packed with man-eating ants, and some of the soldiers struggled desperately, while others fired randomly, but none of them could escape the fate of being devoured by the man-eating ants.
"Hiss!" Yang Quan gasped. "Why didn't these man-eating ants show up at the beginning?"
If these man-eating ants had appeared when the first soldier went down, they wouldn't have eaten so many people.
"Maybe the vibrations woke them up."
Jiang Yan's teeth were still chattering, but at least he had calmed down.
She said: "These man-eating ants must have been dormant in the ground of this ditch. When the first soldier passed by, they felt the vibration and crawled out of the soil."
"But the number of ants coming out at this time is not large enough. By the time the first group of soldiers walks in the ditch, they will have enough numbers to bite people."
"Boss, help!"
At this time, the first group in the ditch had almost been devoured by the man-eating ants. The few people who were still able to move ran desperately, trying to climb out of the ditch.
Without saying a word, Du Huwei snatched the gun from a subordinate next to him and shot the three men to death in the ditch.
The three bodies fell into the ditch and were quickly devoured by a tide of man-eating ants.
But strangely enough, these man-eating ants only wreak havoc in the ditch but do not crawl out of it. It seems that there is some mysterious restriction on the ditch wall.
The more than 20 soldiers who did not have time to get down to the ditch were silent when they saw Du Huwei shooting at those soldiers, but there was indignation on their faces.
After all, these people worked for Du Huwei just like them. Seeing their fate, they couldn't help but feel sad for the other party.
Du Huwei could see the dissatisfaction of these soldiers. If he were up there, he would have wiped them out long ago, but in the underground palace, he still needed these people to work for him.
He had no choice but to comfort the soldier, saying, "These man-eating ants may be unable to climb out of this ditch for some reason, but it's different now that they've been led out by those few people just now. Once these man-eating ants leave this ditch, none of us will survive."
As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining soldiers suddenly woke up from their dreams, turned around and began to express their gratitude to Du Huwei.
After all, if they can survive, it doesn’t matter whether others die or not. As long as they can save themselves, they are more ruthless than anyone else.
Song Jinya pointed at the first soldier who had passed through the gate and said, "Boss, there's another one over there! Do you want to...?"
After being reminded by Song Jinya, everyone remembered the first soldier who passed through.
When he passed through the shallow ditch, the man-eating ants had just crawled out, and there were not enough of them to eat him.
But who knows if there are any man-eating ants on his body, and how many there are?
As soon as he returned to the team, the man-eating ants hiding on his body would crawl onto other people and secretly devour their bodies.
The soldier was shocked when he heard the discussions here.
He had followed Du Huwei for more than a year, so he naturally knew how cruel Du Huwei was.
He didn't dare to beg for mercy and ran away.
But Du Huwei sneered and flicked his finger. The soldier screamed and fell to the ground, with a stream of blood slowly flowing from his heart.
Du Huwei said, "Golden Teeth, burn him with the flamethrower later."
Song Jinya nodded in agreement and took the opportunity to say, "Thanks to the boss for his decisive action, otherwise we would have all been killed by the man-eating ants. Boss, you are our second parents."
A hint of pride flashed across Du Huwei's eyes behind his sunglasses as he said calmly, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. This is to better protect more people."
Song Jinya said hurriedly, "Boss, what you said is very good. After hearing what you said, I feel like I have grown in my life."
He was talking happily.
Xiao Yiju spat out a mouthful of saliva: "Damn, this is disgusting."
Song Jinya said angrily, "Who are you talking about?"
Xiao Yiju stretched lazily: "Of course I'm talking about those man-eating ants."
Song Jinya naturally knew that he was not talking about man-eating ants.
But the more he smeared something like this, the worse it got. He glared at Xiao Yiju fiercely and wrote him down in the little notebook in his heart.
After leaving the underground palace, he will definitely deal with Xiao Yiju!
"Okay, stop arguing."
Du Huwei said impatiently, "Fifth Young Master, how are we supposed to cross this shallow ditch?"
Xiao Yiju shrugged and said, "How should I know?"
"Yeah?"
Du Huwei wasn't angry either. He pointed at Jiang Yan and ordered Song Jinya, "Tell two people to throw her into the ditch!"
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing Song Jinya really leading his men towards Jiang Yan, Xiao Yiju hurriedly stopped them and said, "I can give it a try."
