At this moment, Uncle Huo finally understood what the eldest lady meant by what she said yesterday.
So this is what the crying sound was.
I heard crying in the first half of last night and was scared to death. I was really afraid that a ghost might have come out.
After calming his mind, Uncle Huo relaxed a lot and was no longer as nervous as before.
Hulu Valley is very large, and there are no standard roads. Su Wuming, who was walking in the front, had to distinguish the walkable areas, so he naturally could not walk that fast. In fact, there should have been a road here, but because no one had walked for decades, the road gradually returned to its original appearance, with weeds growing and trees taking root and multiplying.
As for the legendary mountain god temple in Hulu Valley, it has long collapsed into a pile of ruins.
Su Wuming looked at the canyon entrance ahead and said, "Go a little further and you'll be out of Hulu Valley."
They had been walking in Hulu Valley for more than an hour and were finally leaving. The wind in the canyon was strong, and even with masks and Lei Feng hats, the cold winter wind still chilled people to the bone.
"Let's get out of the valley quickly. The wind is making me uncomfortable." Su Xiaozhong couldn't help sneezing.
After the group of five stepped out of the valley, they discovered something unusual.
"Do you feel that the temperature here seems to be higher than that in Hulu Valley?"
“It is indeed much warmer.”
"Maybe it's because the wind is strong in the canyon." Uncle Huo said.
"No, that shouldn't be the reason." Su Yin looked into the distance. There were many green bushes around, and there were evergreen trees in the valley, but some plants outside the canyon were obviously not evergreen.
"Let's find a place to rest first."
The group found a place to rest under a big tree. Su Yin kept observing the surroundings. Since the predictive dream appeared again, it meant that today's trip would definitely be turbulent and there would be threats to life and death.
"Xinguang, have you ever seen a special kind of ant? It's bigger than an ant, its body is red, and it can devour human flesh and blood."
Su Yin knew that there were such ant colonies on the Blue Planet, and they all lived in tropical jungle areas.
This is not Blue Star, this is the Dayong Dynasty.
"Sister, you should be talking about red ants, a kind of carnivorous ant colony. The ability of a single one is insignificant and can be easily crushed to death, but if there are tens of thousands of them, it will be difficult to deal with. Once you are entangled by it, it will be very troublesome."
"Red ants have a strong ability to chew food."
"Sister, why are you asking this suddenly?" Su Xinguang thought of something, "Sister, have you seen me somewhere before?"
Su Yin nodded. "I saw one just now, but it quickly disappeared. I thought I was seeing things."
Su Xinguang stood up immediately, "Sister, get up quickly."
When the others heard this, they all turned to look. Su Wuming immediately became alert, tightly gripped the long sword in his hand, and looked around.
"Xinguang, what happened?"
"Just now, my sister said that she saw red ants."
Su Wuming's expression changed slightly. If he was alone, he wouldn't have to worry even if he encountered red ants. He was confident that he could avoid them. But now there was not only him here, there were other people as well.
Uncle Huo has always lived in the northwest, but he has never seen red ants. He only knows ants and white termites.
"What red ants? Are they very powerful?"
Su Xiaozhong also knows a thing or two.
Su Xinguang explained the habits of the red ants and how terrifying they were. After listening to him, Uncle Huo's expression changed slightly.
"There are such horrible ants in the world."
"A thousand-mile long dam is destroyed by an ant hole! Never underestimate insignificant things in everything. Sometimes failures often occur in such places." Su Xiaozhong said sincerely.
Su Xinguang took out medicine powder from his bag and sprinkled some evenly on everyone.
"Although this insect repellent powder won't scare red ants, it can cover up the smell on our bodies so that we won't become their target. If you take the initiative to provoke them, then this won't be able to protect you." Su Xinguang's last sentence was a reminder to everyone.
Several people understood.
"Sister, since we saw red ants here, there must be more nearby. We shouldn't stay here for long. Find another place to rest."
Everyone had no objection and decided to go to another place to rest.
Because of the red ant incident, Su Wuming, who was walking in front, became extra careful and kept an eye on the creatures around him at all times.
The further they walked, the more they felt the temperature rising. When they heard the sound of flowing water, they saw that steam was coming out of the long and narrow stream, and rising mist filled the water.
“Isn’t this spring water?”
Su Yin probably knew why it was getting hotter here. She was afraid that there was a crater at the foot of the mountain in this area.
Why would the person who placed the treasure choose this place?
A group of five people walked upwards along the steaming hot spring stream. After passing through the narrow riverbed, the view ahead suddenly opened up. They actually smelled the fragrance of flowers in the air. The valley was lush and green, and wild flowers were blooming at the foot of the mountain and on the cliffs. They were swaying in the wind, and looked shyly at the group of people who suddenly broke in.
Everyone felt hot in the clothes they were wearing, and several of them could hardly bear the heat.
Su Wuming was the first to take off his heavy outer coat, and the others all took off their outermost heavy clothes one after another.
“It’s spring all year round here.”
While everyone else was surprised, Su Yin was highly alert.
Uncle Huo said to Su Xiaozhong, "Master, I'm going to relieve myself."
Su Yin's alarm bells immediately rang, because in the prophetic dream, it was at this time period and this place.
When Uncle Huo went to relieve himself, they were attracted by the bones of animals. When they heard Uncle Huo's cry for help and ran over, he had already been surrounded by red ants. At that time, no one had medicine powder sprinkled on them, so they also became the target of the red ants' attack.
Su Wuming said, "Master, there is something there."
Su Xiaozhong and Su Wuming walked over there, and Su Yin grabbed her brother who was about to go over to check.
"You follow Uncle Huo." Su Yin said in a low voice.
When Su Xinguang heard this, he was stunned, but soon he thought it was wrong and showed an expression that he understood immediately.
Su Yin knew that he had the wrong idea and thought that she had noticed something wrong with Uncle Huo, which was why she asked him to follow him.
But there is no time to explain anything now, predictive dreams are something that cannot be described in words.
"Hurry up."
Su Xinguang nodded solemnly.
Su Yin followed behind Su Xiaozhong and the others, her eyes swept across the bones of these animals, and said to the two people who were still studying: "The corpse of this animal is a little too clean."
After observing it, Su Wuming nodded and said, "Not only that, there are no scars on this skeleton, which is really strange. If he died of old age, the age of this skeleton is clearly that of a young man, which shouldn't be the case. This is really strange."
Su Xiaozhong suddenly had an idea, "Could it be red ants?"
Su Wuming's eyes lit up slightly, "It's possible, and the possibility is very high."
