The five people were simmering beef and tripe in silence, and the atmosphere was a little weird...
"Ahem." Lin Qiye was the first to break the silence, "Uncle Li, you have been a forest ranger for so long, have you ever heard of anything strange... in this forest?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Fatty's face turned pale, as if he had thought of something, and turned to look at Li Deyang.
Li Deyang frowned slightly, "Something strange?"
"Just some legends, such as the Great Fox, the Horse and the Monkey, the Paper Man, or...the Kingdom of the Dead?"
Li Deyang glanced at the four people with a strange expression, and slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"I finally understand, you are not here to film "Bear Bears"..." Li Deyang squinted at Lin Qiye's eyes and spoke word by word, "You are here for the legendary relics and treasures"
."
Lin Qiye and others looked at each other, lowered their heads silently, and did not answer.
"I'm telling you, how can anyone who shoots documentaries have such good skills? Are you specialized in this field?" Li Deyang's expression seemed to have understood everything, and he said with a sneer,
"You saved Tingting, which shows that you are not bad-hearted. I would like to remind you...legends are just legends. There are not treasures wherever there are legends. Nowadays, society pays attention to science. Where can there be so many gods and ghosts?
thing?
It's all superstition! Don't look at it... Why are you pulling on my cloak?"
Li Deyang turned around and saw Baili Pangpang next to him lowering his head and tugging at his dark red cloak. His face turned green, and he snatched the cloak from Baili Pangpang's hands and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on the surface.
"It's nothing, I just think this cloak is pretty good-looking." Baili Pangpang smiled, "By the way, what did you just say? Oh, right, there aren't that many gods and ghosts..."
"You mean, there are no paper figures in this forest, and there is no country of the dead?" Lin Qiye asked thoughtfully.
"Of course not." Li Deyang shook his head firmly.
Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.
Judging from Li Deyang's expression, it doesn't look like he is lying to them, but he really doesn't think there is such a thing as a paper man. He has been guarding this forest for so many years, and he should know the situation of this forest best.
of……
However, Lin Qiye and the others saw the paper man behind the window with their own eyes, and even chased it for a long time.
What happened in this forest...
After eating and drinking, Lin Qiye and others stood up first. An Qingyu and Cao Yuan stood on the left and right, and prepared to leave with Li Deyang. The latter waved to them.
"I don't need you, I can leave by myself now." Li Deyang rubbed his waist and spoke resolutely.
The dignified night watchman, who had been carried away for so long by two young boys, was embarrassed to say that he was going out. Li Deyang had finally recovered after sitting there for so long, and resolutely rejected the "good intentions" of the two men.
"Are you willing to continue moving forward with us?" Lin Qiye said in surprise.
Li Deyang shook his head decisively, "No, I still say that you can't go any further. Those legends about the ruins are all false. Don't risk your lives for such unrealistic things."
Lin Qiye opened his mouth and was about to say something when the iron box behind Baili Pangpang suddenly started to tremble violently.
DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG!!
Lin Qiye walked to the iron box and slapped the surface of the iron box again. However, this time the movement of the giant ants did not disappear. Instead, they struck more rapidly!
Lin Qiye seemed to realize something, his face slightly condensed, his eyes slowly swept across the surrounding woods, and he smiled bitterly and said:
"I'm afraid, even if we want to leave now, we can't leave..."
Li Deyang was stunned and turned around to look. His whole body was frozen in place.
Around the forest, huge red silhouettes crawled out of the shadows, gradually surrounding them, ten, twenty, thirty...
Most of them are the kind of red giant ants that Lin Qiye and others have encountered before, but there are five others. Their whole bodies are covered with black carapace. Their bodies are larger than those of red worker ants, and the realm fluctuations they emit are also obviously larger than those of red worker ants.
The red worker ants are stronger, already at the peak of the "Chuan" realm!
Their slender tentacles trembled slightly, as if they were communicating with each other, and they moved towards the five people little by little...
Lin Qiye frowned slightly, turned to look at An Qingyu, lowered his voice and said:
"The red ones are the worker ants we saw before, and the black ones are..."
Anqingyu nodded, "They are soldier ants. Compared with worker ants that are specially used to collect food, they have stronger attack power."
"How do they know we're here?"
"Their tentacles should be some kind of special means of communication. When they enter a certain range, they can communicate across the air... This place is very close to the ant nest. It must be the worker ants in the iron box who want to communicate with them."
A distress signal was sent." An Qingyu said calmly.
Lin Qiye looked around and sighed with regret, "It's a pity that the queen ant didn't come..."
"Unless necessary, the queen ant will stay in the nest and will not come out easily."
"Yes." Lin Qiye nodded, "This situation is already very difficult. If there is another ant queen suspected of being in the sea, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it."
While Lin Qiye was communicating with An Qingyu, Li Deyang's face was already ashen.
"This damn ant's nest has been stabbed..." Li Deyang muttered to himself, took a deep breath, spat on the ground, and grabbed the straight knife and gun from Baili Fatty's hand with a curse.
"Grandma! If you don't listen when I tell you to go back and insist on going so deep, now it's better! You will all fucking die here!"
While cursing, Li Deyang walked up to the four people with a knife, pressed the bullet into the chamber of the shotgun, and pulled the bolt.
Click——!
Li Deyang's eyes swept over the surrounding giant ants one by one, and finally locked in one direction, which was the weakest part of the entire encirclement.
He reached into his cloak, solemnly took out a shining coat of arms from the middle of his clothes, lowered his head and took a puff of white steam on the surface of the coat of arms, and wiped it with his thumb...
Well, it's much brighter.
This is worthy of me.
Li Deyang breathed a long sigh of relief, held the coat of arms tightly in his hand, and spoke slowly with determination in his eyes:
"You brats, don't be scared to the point of weakening your legs. It's not a big scene. I will open a way for you in a moment, and you will run forward as hard as you can... Don't look back, do you hear me?"
Behind him, Lin Qiye silently took out two straight knives from his bag and nodded.
