The giant ant didn't dare to resist and had to give up the meat at its mouth. It moved sideways to avoid the old abbot's attack, jumped up, and came in front of a young monk.
The little monk struggled to hold on for two times, but the giant ant's front claws cut a bloody gash on his face. Fortunately, he dodged quickly, otherwise his whole head would have been cut open.
The old host immediately turned around to support, but the giant ant was just feinting, quickly gave up on the little monk, and ran towards Xue Lao San.
Xue Laosan reacted as soon as my mother screamed and fainted, and ran out for his life. It would have been fine if he hadn't run, but if he ran, wouldn't he become a shining target?
Inside the hall, there is an old host who can fight against the giant ants. Once outside the hall, who can stop them?
Before Xue Laosan could run out of the yard, he was caught up by the giant ant.
The next moment, blood splattered, and Xue Laosan fell to the ground with a thud. The giant ant then jumped on him and sucked his brain.
When the old abbot saw this, he ran out two steps, wanting to save the person. When he reached the threshold, he thought of the two disciples and the two people from the Xue family in the hall, so he stopped.
The giant ant ate Xue Laosan's brain, looked back into the hall, a strange light flashed in its dark eyes, and it jumped up and disappeared in a few seconds.
The old abbot in the hall sighed deeply and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha."
Looking at the two people lying unconscious and dead on the ground, as well as the terrified Xue Zhan and Li, the old abbot said to the two young disciples, "Yuanjue, Yuanhui, bury this donor's body."
"Yes, Master."
The old abbot went to fetch a bucket of water and cleaned up the bloodstains in the hall.
The next morning, the old abbot asked Yuanjue to go to the city to report the birth of the man-eating giant ant to the Demon Hunting Guild.
It takes about half a day to get from the temple to the city. Yuanjue should have returned in the afternoon, but he was nowhere to be seen until nightfall.
Among the two young disciples, Yuanjue is more calm and cautious, so the old abbot sent him. Logically, he would not play around on the road, but he has not returned yet. The old abbot and Yuanhui couldn't help but worry, suspecting that something had happened to Yuanjue on the road.
Just as I was worried, Yuanjue came back.
Yuan Hui immediately ran forward and said, "Brother, why did you just come back? Master and I were so worried."
Yuanjue: "On the way, I encountered that giant ant again. I fought with it and was almost eaten by it, so I was delayed for some time."
Yuan Hui: "Brother, did you run into that giant ant again? Did you get hurt?"
Yuanjue shook his head: "Luckily, I was traveling with a few demon hunters. With their support, I was able to escape with my life."
"Have those demon hunters already killed the giant ant?"
"Junior brother, how can a monk keep the word 'kill' on his lips?"
Yuan Hui stuck out her tongue. "I won't say any more. Brother, please tell me, what happened to that giant ant? Has it been liberated?"
"Well, the demon hunters were very capable and prevented the giant ant from escaping."
"Great! That giant ant is truly a disaster. If we let it run rampant, who knows how many people will die. How can there be such a huge ant in the demon world, and it specializes in sucking human brains? It's so terrifying!"
The two brothers talked as they walked into the hall. Inside the hall, the old abbot was sitting on a cushion facing outwards.
"Master, the giant ant has been killed." Yuanjue replied to the old abbot.
The old abbot opened his eyes. His face was wrinkled like orange peel, but his eyes were bright and shining, very different from those of ordinary people. When his gaze fell on Yuanjue, it was like two rays of light shining on him, making it impossible for him to escape.
Yuanjue's body tensed.
The next moment, the old host stopped twisting the beads and threw the beads towards him.
Yuanjue jumped up and avoided the string of beads that was emitting a hazy Buddha light. Unexpectedly, the string of beads changed direction again, chased after him, and tied him up.
Yuan Hui was stunned, "Master, Senior Brother..."
Yuanjue, who was tied up by the Buddhist beads, suddenly changed and turned into the giant ant before. He opened his mouth and bit the Buddhist beads. The Buddhist beads shone brightly, resisting the giant ant's bite force.
The old abbot sat on a cushion, silently chanting Buddhist scriptures and blessing the Buddhist beads.
At this time, people from the old Xue family came.
The giant ant transformed into Yuanjue's appearance again and said to Old Lady Xue, "Kill the old monk, and I will let you go!"
Xue Zhan didn't know why the old abbot started fighting with his apprentice, but this was obviously a good opportunity!
Who knew if the giant ant would come back? They couldn't stay in this broken temple any longer! Besides, they had wanted to leave for a long time.
Xue Zhan, Old Lady Xue, and Mrs. Li suddenly looked murderous and rushed towards the old host.
Yuan Hui was horrified: "He is not my senior brother, he is the giant ant from last night——"
Before she could finish her words, Old Lady Xue spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on her forehead, "Do you think I'm old and blind?"
He was about to push Yuanhui away.
Old Mrs. Xue, who had lost two sons in a row, had her hair turned completely white overnight. She looked more than twenty years older, and her eyes became even more sunken. Her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat people, and she looked both pitiful and terrifying.
Master is fighting the giant ants with all his might, we must not let them get past at this time!
Yuan Hui stood in front of the old host and said, "None of you can get through!"
Old Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Li pounced on him, scratching and clawing at him, kicking and beating him without any regard for his surroundings, and also hurling all kinds of insults at him.
It seemed as if they were venting their anger over the deaths of Boss Xue and Third Xue on him.
Poor Yuanhui grew up in a temple and was influenced by Buddhism for more than ten years. He never killed any living beings, let alone hurt people's lives. Now, facing two fierce fighting women, how could he be their opponent?
However, Old Lady Xue and her husband became even more aggressive, venting all their hatred on him as if he were the enemy who killed their son (or husband).
"Ah!" Yuanhui covered her eyes and screamed, bright red blood seeping out from between her fingers. One of her eyeballs was actually dug out by Old Lady Xue!
Xue Zhan took the opportunity to walk past him and came to the old abbot. He looked around, took down the incense burner on the altar, and smashed it on the old abbot's head.
Bang!
The incense burner hit the old host's head, but the old host's head was fine, and the incense burner was flattened instead.
The old abbot has practiced martial arts for decades, making him as strong as a rock. How could he not be able to withstand the blow of an incense burner?
But he could only passively defend and could not make any counterattack.
Even though his head is as hard as iron, other parts of his body are still very fragile, such as his eyes.
Xue Zhan failed in his first strike, so he used the tripod leg of the incense burner to poke the old host's eyes.
The old host could have easily avoided the attack by simply letting go of the giant ant, but he didn't.
Phew!
The old host's eyes were poked by Xue Zhan so hard that blood gushed out.
When Yuan Hui saw this, he was shocked and yelled, throwing Old Lady Xue and Li over. He rushed over and punched Xue Zhan to the ground, "You deserve to die!"
