After these ants got on the leaves, they even knew how to stretch out their hind legs and slide in the water. Although their legs were thin and slow, the leaves were drifting to the other side after all. According to this situation, the ants would attack the island sooner or later.
"What should we do? What should we do? "
This was the voice of everyone. Seeing the army of ants coming to the island from all directions, they could do nothing.
If they had some long things like branches in their hands, they could still stir up the water and knock those ants into the water. However, the small island in the middle of the pool was bare. There wasn't even a stone, let alone a branch.
Lei Tianrui turned to look at Dong Sihai and cried, "Aren't you a jungle expert? Hurry up and think of a way! "
"I … I can't do anything." Dong Sihai said with a desperate face.
Hu Xiaoxian said, "Haodong has warned you that you can't camp here, but you said it was okay. Now, we are all going to die here."
Thinking of the scene of ants devouring wild beasts, everyone couldn't help but feel numb all over, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on their bodies. As people from the special department, they had long thought of the day of death, but no one could accept dying in such a way.
Just then, Qin Haodong said, "I have a good news to tell you."
"What's the good news?" Hearing his words, everyone's eyes were rekindled with hope. Even Lei Tianrui and Zhao Qiankun, who had been hostile to him, were full of desire.
Although death was close to them, Qin Haodong could magically subdue the man-eating vine. Maybe he could also deal with these ants.
Qin Haodong said, "I've just seen it. These ants are not South American army ants."
Dong Sihai was discouraged and said, "I've seen it for a long time, but what's the use?"
Qin Haodong ignored him and said, "These ants have a name. They are called Hell Soul Devouring Ants. Because every time they appear very suddenly, no one knows where they come from, so people say they come from hell.
At the same time, these ants are extremely greedy. They can swallow steel. It is said that they can even eat the souls of dead people, so they are called Hell Soul Devouring Ants. "
The things he said were all from the cultivation world. The Hell Soul Devouring Ant was a terrible creature in the cultivation world. Even the cultivators had to retreat when they encountered it.
At first, Qin Haodong didn't think of this. He thought these were just ordinary South American marching ants. But when he saw these ants eat even the Hummer, he thought of this terrible creature. After careful observation, he was sure that these were the Hell Soul Devouring Ants of the Cultivation World. He just didn't understand how they appeared on the earth.
Wang Yuancheng said with a pale face, "You mean, our souls will be eaten by ants after we die, and we won't even have the chance to reincarnate. Is this good news?"
"This is indeed good news." Qin Haodong said, "If it's the South American Army Ants, there's nothing I can do, but I know the weakness of the Hell Soul Devouring Ants."
"What? Tell us what their weaknesses are. "Lei Tianrui and the others looked at Qin Haodong pitifully.
Hu Xiaoxian also said, "Yes, Haodong, these things have passed half of the island. Tell us what their weaknesses are, or it will be too late."
Qin Haodong said lightly, "All things in nature reinforce and restrain each other. Every creature has something to restrain it, and the Hell Soul Devouring Ants are no exception. They are most afraid of a plant called Netherworld Grass. As long as you have a leaf of Netherworld Grass on your body, the Hell Soul Devouring Ants will never dare to approach you. "
"What's the use of this? We haven't even seen Netherworld Grass. Where can we find it? "
"That's right. Isn't that obvious? This island is barren and there isn't even a blade of grass, let alone Netherworld Grass."
Just when Zhao Qiankun and the others were complaining, a small yellow leaf appeared in Qin Haodong's palm. He said happily, "Coincidentally, I happen to have Netherworld Grass here."
He encountered these Netherworld Grass by chance when he was collecting herbs. At that time, he didn't expect to meet such terrible creatures as the Hell Soul Devouring Ants. But the space in the Storage Ring was large enough, so he picked some and threw them in. He didn't expect that they would become life-saving things now.
"Take it. Don't lose it."
Qin Haodong gave the leaf in his hand to Hu Xiaoxian and took out another one from his pocket.
Lei Tianrui and the others looked at the golden leaf in Qin Haodong's hand. Their eyes flashed with infinite desire, and they immediately surrounded him.
"Doctor Qin, do you have any more Netherworld Leaves? Can you give me one? "
Lei Tianrui asked with a flattering face.
Seeing the dense Hell Soul Devouring Ants on the river, he didn't care about his face anymore.
Qin Haodong said, "Yes, but why should I give it to you?"
Lei Tianrui said, "Doctor Qin, you forget that we are companions. We should help each other when we are in trouble."
"Oh! Now that you mention it, I remember that you were still trying to collect the fare from me just now. "
Lei Tianrui wanted to slap himself in the face. He wanted to charge a protection fee, but he was almost killed by the Devilish Five. In the end, they saved him. This time, he wanted to charge a fare, but in the end, he didn't even have a car, and he had to put down his face and beg for help.
Qin Haodong fiddled with the Netherworld Leaves in his hand and said, "Now I have a life-saving thing in my hand. You can have it. It's not expensive to charge you twice the fare, is it?"
"Uh …"
Lei Tianrui suddenly blushed. In order to recover the money he had lost as soon as possible, he asked Qin Haodong for a fare of 5 million a day. Doubled would be 10 million. In the past, Qin Haodong charged 1 million each time. Now it suddenly increased ten times, which was like shooting himself in the foot.
Qin Haodong said with a smile, "As I said, I have always been honest in business. Buying and selling are voluntary. If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, I won't force you."
Lei Tianrui glanced at the dark and dense Hell Soul Devouring Ants in the river again. He had no choice.
He said, "Doctor Qin, I will definitely buy it, but there is no mobile phone signal here, and I don't have so much cash, so I can't pay for the time being."
Qin Haodong said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have cash, you can give me an IOU."
Thinking of the figure of 10 million, Wang Yuancheng felt a little painful. He said, "Are you sure this leaf is useful?"
Qin Haodong said, "If it is useful, it can save lives. If it is not, we will all become ant dung. What does it matter if you write an IOU of 100 million?"
They thought about it and agreed. If their own people died, it was useless to leave more money, let alone an IOU.
Xie Zidan said, "Doctor Qin, I believe you. I want a Netherworld Leaf."
Qin Haodong took out a pen and paper from his backpack, handed it to Xie Zidan and said, "It's very hard for you to drive me all the way. I'll give you a 50% discount. Just write 5 million."
"Thank you, Doctor Qin." Xie Zidan did not hesitate to write an IOU of 5 million, and then took a Netherworld Leaf from Qin Haodong.
Although Lei Tianrui and others were a little hesitant, seeing that the ants were close to the shore, they also gritted their teeth and wrote the IOU, and then took the Netherworld Leaf from Qin Haodong.
Seeing Qin Haodong put all the paper, pen and IOU into his backpack, Lei Tianrui's heart skipped a beat. He always saw Qin Haodong take things out of the backpack along the way, but the shape of the backpack did not change much, as if it would not bulge no matter how many things were put in, and it would not deflate no matter how many things were taken out. Was this the legendary treasure of Xuanmen?
The tense moment came. The Hell Soul Devouring Ants finally completed the beach landing, and a large number of them landed on the island in the center of the pool.
Qin Haodong and others stood together in a circle, each holding a Netherworld Leaf in their hands. Now it was time to see if the small leaf would work.
At this time, the sun had completely set on the horizon, and only a bright moon in the sky shone on the small valley. It was quiet all around, and everyone could clearly hear their own breathing, heartbeat, and the rustling sound of ants crawling forward.
These Hell Soul Devouring Ants were getting closer and closer, and they could even see the two big pincers waving on their heads by the moonlight.
Five meters, three meters, two meters … When the Hell Soul Devouring Ants came to about one meter away from them, they suddenly stopped, and the two antennae on their heads swayed wildly. Then, as if they were greatly frightened, they turned around and ran back.
Panic seemed to be contagious. The Hell Soul Devouring Ants, which were fierce and indomitable just now, were like a defeated army after a big defeat at this time. Without formation and discipline, they rushed to the pool. Even many ants had no time to jump on the leaves, and fell directly into the pool. After struggling for a few times, they sank.
Everyone on the island was relieved, including Qin Haodong. He only learned in the Cultivation World that the Netherworld Leaf could restrain the Hell Soul Devouring Ants, but he had never tried it. He didn't expect the effect to be so good. It seemed that the Creator was really magical.
A few minutes later, the ants on the island had all fled, and even the Hell Soul Devouring Ants outside the pool began to retreat. Ten minutes later, there was no trace of ants in the whole valley. If it weren't for the strong smell of blood in the air, it would seem that nothing had happened.
Everyone felt like they had survived a disaster. It was no wonder that so many expeditions had disappeared after entering the Death Zone. This place was too evil.
It was late at night. For the sake of safety, they did not return to the pool, but camped directly on the island.
Early the next morning, the sun rose from the east, and the golden sunshine shone all over the valley. Qin Haodong sent Hu Xiaoxian and the little fellow to the other side in the same way, and then threw the Netherworld Leaf in his hand into the pool, and crossed the water with the buoyancy of the leaf.
Lei Tianrui and others looked at the Netherworld Leaf with complicated feelings. This little thing sold them for 10 million yuan. But they didn't dare to throw it away. Who knew if they would encounter such a terrible thing in the future?
After calming down, they all returned to the other side of the pool.
At this time, looking around the valley, it was still quiet and beautiful. The beasts that were swallowed yesterday didn't even leave a piece of bone residue. There was only a pool of oil spilled at the location of the two Hummers. Only the burnt black gasoline ditch could truly record what had happened here.
Lei Tianrui said to Hu Xiaoxian and others, "Let's discuss what to do next. Should we go forward or go back?"
Hu Xiaoxian said, "Our task hasn't been completed yet. How can we go back?"
Dong Sihai said, "But our vehicles and equipment are gone. It will be very dangerous if we continue to move forward."
Hu Xiaoxian said, "But we are about to reach our destination. If we go back now, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Besides, how do you know that there will be no danger if we go back?"
Lei Tianrui said, "Xiaoxian is right. Since we are here, we should continue to move forward."
After the goal was unified, they continued to the depths of Shennongjia. Qin Haodong naturally would not go back. He held the little fellow and walked behind the team with Hu Xiaoxian.
