Chapter 33: Bone-eating Ants
"Village Chief, what should we do now?"
"We're not going to dig today. Let's go back?"
The village chief of Wumu was somewhat unwilling and asked them to smash them with hoes, but he didn't believe it. They had the statues protecting them. The creatures were so small and didn't dare to come over. How could they not smash them to death?
“Smash!”
When Gao Guangliang heard the word "smash", he picked up the hoe and smashed over without saying a word.
They bit him so hard just now that he couldn't kill them.
With one blow of the hoe, the ant was split into two halves and died.
When others saw that it worked, they immediately followed suit and started smashing it with hoes.
"I hit it! I hit it! I killed someone!"
"I killed one too!"
"Ouch! This monster is so easy to smash!"
"What the hell! We have the statue of the mountain god in our hands. If you don't have it, try it!"
…
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
The ants seemed to realize that they were difficult to deal with and soon dispersed. They searched for a long time with hoes but found nothing.
"Huh? How come you've smashed all of them? Aren't there a lot?"
"I guess they ran away because they saw they couldn't win! Monsters aren't stupid!"
…
Village chief Wumu asked everyone to reorganize the team and take a break before working again.
He also dragged Ma Laosan out and gave him a severe scolding.
The person who was previously in charge of looking after the statue was also fired by him and replaced by another one.
Something as important as a statue of a deity cannot be viewed by just one person; everyone takes turns to see it.
Previously, Ma Laosan had made Wumu Village Chief unhappy because of the bamboo shoots incident, so he was not chosen to guard the statue this time.
I didn't expect that even if he was not chosen, he could still take the statue away. He was so angry.
The villager also felt a little regretful. He thought that it was just a matter of peeing. How much time did he have? He could earn two bamboo shoots in just a short while. Why not do it?
When he tried to negotiate with the village chief of Wumu but failed, he angrily went to find Ma Laosan and asked him to compensate him with a few more bamboo shoots.
Ma Laosan would definitely not be happy. It was already a lot for him to urinate on two bamboo shoots. Why should he be given more?
He was also scolded.
"You blame me for being scolded? It was you who went to pee and insisted that I follow you with the statue, saying that if we were far away, we would be dragged away by a monster."
"I called you, and you followed me with the idol? I told you to eat urine, why didn't you eat it?"
The villager immediately got angry and punched Ma Laosan.
Ma Laosan was still angry about being scolded by the village chief of Wumu, so he wouldn't let him go, so he rushed up and started fighting with him.
The village chief of Wumu, who had just scolded and punished someone and was sitting down to rest, said: "..."
Damn it, are you two sick?
He quickly asked someone to pull them apart and gave each of them a scolding.
"Are you guys bored because you're full?"
"It's only been a few days since we've had a good life?"
"If you think life is too good, you can move out of Yilan Village."
…
When they heard that they had to move out of Yilan Village, Ma Laosan and his companion became scared and quickly admitted their mistake to the village chief Wumu.
joke!
It's so dangerous outside. Their village has escaped the invasion of monsters only because of the protection of the mountain god. Wouldn't moving out be courting death?
Let’s not talk about whether other villages have gods or not. Even if they do, they may still perform human sacrifices.
They won't go.
The head of Wumu Village warned again and again: "If you dare to make trouble again, you will all be kicked out of the village. Do you hear me?"
Ma Laosan and the other man said weakly, "Yes, village chief."
…
When they returned, the village chief Wumu asked them to take the dead ants away. Don’t forget, the kiwi fruit in the village tastes the best, so it’s perfect for feeding it.
The kiwi fruit master was very happy after eating dozens of ant monsters that day. A tree blossomed and bore fruit on the spot, giving them a tree full of kiwi fruits.
The villagers were very happy with the interaction and they thanked Mr. Kiwi and shared the fruit.
"Where did you get this fruit? Did a monster attack the village again today?" When the village chief's wife saw the kiwi fruit in Village Chief Wumu's clothes, she thought that a monster had come to their village.
The village chief Wumu said, "No, we met him in the mountains."
Then he told them what happened on the mountain.
"There is such a weak monster?!" The village head's wife was very surprised.
The monsters they usually saw or heard about were all relatively large. It was the first time she heard of such a small monster in the world.
The village chief Wumu said, "Do you think this ant is really weak? You didn't see it bite me, it tore a big hole in my body. I was also bitten..."
He put the things down and rolled up his trouser legs to show his wife.
The cut was indeed quite big, almost as big as a finger, and a piece of flesh was really torn off.
"We have the statues to drive them away, so they can't rush over. If they can, it's still okay to kill just a few of them. But if there are dozens or hundreds of them, they will eat us to death in a few bites."
The village head's wife then felt terrified.
So, what’s scary about these small monsters isn’t their individual combat power, but the fact that they attack in groups?
She became a little worried: "You only killed some of them, the others ran away. Could they be near the village? Then when we go out in the future, don't we have to carry the statues with us? If we forget one day and one of us is left alone, it will be very dangerous..."
"That's nothing we can do. There are too many of them. We can't wipe them out with just a few of us." Wumu Village Chief said, "I'm surprised I was able to kill it."
"We need to tell the villagers about this and give everyone a heads up, so that there won't be anyone who doesn't know about this and runs into us alone."
"Well, I'll tell you tonight."
…
Carpenter Zhao also heard about this and was very depressed. He followed for the past few days and didn't encounter any monsters. How come he encountered one when he was resting?
He told the head of Wumu Village that he would follow and witness it with his own eyes no matter what.
The chief of Wumu Village knew what was on his mind and did not stop him. Instead, he reminded him to do his job well and carve more statues.
His statue is quite useful. With it, it is more convenient for everyone to go out.
The only regret that Village Chief Wumu had was that the statue was a bit big. If he went out alone, it would be a bit inconvenient to carry such a big statue on his back. I wonder if I can talk to the mountain god and get a smaller one.
Yang Xiangwei: "...It's okay to have a smaller one, but you're not doing this as a group. For a group, you'll definitely need a larger one with statues of gods. A larger statue will provide shelter. If you're traveling alone, you can consider amulets, badges, pendants, etc..."
Amulet: No one in their village knows how to draw amulets, so this can only be cancelled temporarily. The chief of Wumu Village has set his sights on the "pendant".
After discussing and confirming with Yang Xiangwei, the village chief of Wumu placed an "order" with Carpenter Zhao.
I went out the next day and everything was fine. The monster didn't come.
I went out on the third day and everything was fine. The monster still didn't come.
I went out on the fourth day and everything was fine. The monster still didn't come.
The head of Wumu Village hesitated and said, "Why don't you go back and carve the statue? Look, everyone is still waiting. You can't just delay your work just to witness it with your own eyes, right?"
Carpenter Zhao was depressed.
Could it be that this monster chooses the day to appear when he is not here?
