The ants before them looked far more ferocious than the ants people usually saw. They had two large pincers around their mouths, and their carapaces gleamed with a metallic sheen. Their eyes were filled with indifference.
"They really are man-eating ants!"
Qiao Suinian's eyes were full of fear. Only a creature like the Dragon Corpse Flea, which eats all kinds of living things, could frighten birds and insects into disappearing.
Man-eating ants are one of the most troublesome alien races for everyone. These creatures have extremely strong defense and vitality, and their formic acid is enough to dissolve human bones.
So basically, unless they are forced into a corner, no one would provoke something like man-eating ants.
There were tens of thousands of man-eating ants in front of them, indicating that their nest was nearby.
One burly man, unaware of how terrifying the tiny creature, no bigger than a thumb, was, stared wide-eyed with curiosity at the swarm of man-eating ants.
At this moment, a man-eating ant stopped and stuck out its rear end towards the burly man.
Immediately afterwards, the man-eating ant shot out a glob of translucent mucus from its tail end, landing precisely on the man's face.
"ah!!!"
The burly man let out a hysterical scream, white smoke billowing from his face. After his eyelids were corroded away by the formic acid, his two bloodshot eyeballs detached from their sockets.
The burly man covered his face and collapsed to the ground, his lips corroded, revealing his bright red gums.
As soon as he fell to the ground, the man-eating ants swarmed around him, enveloping the burly man in a black ball. A few seconds later, the swarm of man-eating ants that had crawled onto the burly man turned and left, preparing to return to their lair.
These man-eating ants share a common characteristic: each of them holds a piece of flesh from a strong man in its mandibles, and one of them even holds an eyeball, dripping with blood.
The burly man who remained was reduced to a skeleton; his flesh and internal organs had been completely removed, leaving nothing behind.
This bizarre scene sent chills down everyone's spine!
Clearly, the fleshless skeletons they had just seen were also the work of these ants.
"These are... man-eating ants! These are man-eating ants!" someone exclaimed, clearly recognizing the terrifying monster before them.
Pang Hongxin's expression also changed drastically.
He hadn't expected that after just encountering the terrifying aquatic insects, he would immediately encounter the even more terrifying man-eating ants. No wonder the journey had been so quiet.
Qiao Suinian frowned and quietly retreated behind the crowd.
No one knew the horror of the man-eating ants better than him. In his previous life, if Feng Zhizhao hadn't risked his life to save him, he wouldn't have survived Ye Diyun's ambush; he would have been devoured by the man-eating ants.
"Retreat! Retreat first!"
Pang Hongxin shouted loudly, then swung his iron fan, sending a man-eating ant that was approaching him flying.
However, after being knocked away, the man-eating ant immediately stood up, shaking its head and seemingly unharmed, demonstrating an astonishing level of defensive power.
Faced with the overwhelming swarm of man-eating ants, the group dared not linger and quickly retreated.
In the end, Pang Hongxin and his group left behind two corpses before escaping the territory of the man-eating ants.
"damn it!"
Pang Hongxin's eyes reddened, filled with rage.
Including the first burly man who had been devoured, he now had only 19 men left.
With such heavy casualties, yet not even a glimpse of Tianyun Temple, how could Pang Hongxin not be furious?
"Brother Junfeng, Brother Fengdi, do you have any ideas on how to deal with these man-eating ants?"
In a fit of rage, Pang Hongxin turned his gaze to Qiao Suinian and Ye Difeng.
In his view, these two had been in his team for so long, they should have done something by now.
"I don't have any good ideas for the time being, Brother Junfeng, what about you?" Ye Difeng looked at Qiao Suinian, intentionally testing him.
In his view, Cao Junfeng's strength was definitely not a problem, but if he was just a brute with strength, then he wasn't worth Ye Difeng revealing his identity to win him over.
Qiao Suinian glanced at the people who had been following behind Pang Hongxin's group, and those people instantly felt a sense of foreboding.
Qiao Suinian slowly spoke.
"A direct confrontation is disadvantageous; allowing the slaughter to continue is also unacceptable. If we were to fight the man-eating ants head-on, there wouldn't be enough of us to feed them."
Pang Hongxin frowned as he listened. He knew perfectly well that they couldn't defeat that huge swarm of man-eating ants, otherwise he wouldn't be bothered by this.
At this moment, Qiao Suinian suddenly changed the subject.
"But why should we fight the man-eating ants? All we need is to get through this part of the road."
“I just calculated that it takes about 15 seconds for the man-eating ants to devour a living person. We will prepare 10 living people as bait and feed them in batches to lure the man-eating ants away. We will move forward at full speed. 150 seconds is more than enough time to pass through the man-eating ants’ territory.”
Beneath the bronze mask, Qiao Suinian's voice was devoid of any emotion, sending chills down everyone's spine.
A look of horror flashed across Pang Hongxin's eyes.
This method is ruthless and vicious, but it must be admitted that the method proposed by Qiao Suinian is indeed the most effective method at present.
Ye Difeng's eyes revealed an barely suppressed look of excitement.
They are ruthless in their methods, only seeking efficiency and results, and their strength is formidable.
If such a person could be used by him, he would surely become his right-hand man and add another powerful general to the Ye family.
