Text Chapter 216 Mutual generation and mutual restraint
After these ants got on the leaves, they actually knew how to stretch out their two hind legs and slide in the water. Although their legs paddled very slowly, the leaves eventually drifted towards the opposite bank. According to this situation, sooner or later the ants would attack
Go to this island.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
This was the voice of all of them. They saw the ant army rowing towards the island from all directions, but they were unable to do anything.
If they had some long things like branches in their hands, they could stir up the pond and knock the ants over in the water. But the island in the middle of the pond was bare, not even a stone, let alone a branch.
.
Lei Tianrui turned to look at Dong Sihai and shouted: "Aren't you a jungle expert? Find a way quickly!"
"I...I have no choice." Dong Sihai said with despair.
Hu Xiaoxian said: "Haodong has warned you a long time ago that you cannot camp here, but you just said it's okay. It's fine now. We are all going to die here."
Thinking of the scene where the ants devoured the beast, everyone couldn't help but feel numb and had goosebumps. As people in the special department, they had long thought about dying one day, but no one could accept dying in this way.
At this moment, Qin Haodong said: "I have good news to tell everyone."
"What good news?" After hearing his words, hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes. Even Lei Tianrui and Zhao Qiankun, who had always been hostile to him, had their faces full of desire.
Although death is very close to them, Qin Haodong can magically subdue the man-eating vines, and may also have a way to deal with these ants.
Qin Haodong said: "I have just realized that these ants are not army ants from South America."
Dong Sihai felt discouraged and said, "I've seen this a long time ago, but what's the use?"
Qin Haodong ignored him and said to himself: "These ants have a name, they are called hell-eating ants. Because every time they appear very suddenly, no one knows where they come from, so everyone says they come from hell.
At the same time, these ants are extremely greedy and can devour steel. According to legend, they can even eat the souls of people after death, so they are called hell-eating ants."
The things he mentioned came entirely from the world of cultivation. The hell-eating ant is a terrifying creature in the world of cultivation. Even cultivators have to avoid it when they encounter it.
Qin Haodong didn't think about this at first, thinking that these were just ordinary South American army ants. It was obvious that these ants even ate Hummers, so he thought of this terrible creature. After careful observation, he determined that this was the world of cultivation.
Hell-eating ants, I just can’t figure out how they appeared on earth.
Wang Yuancheng said with a pale face: "You mean, our souls will be eaten by ants after death, and we won't even have the chance to be reincarnated. Is this good news?"
"This is indeed good news." Qin Haodong said, "If it is South American army ants, there is nothing we can do, but I know the weaknesses of Hell Eater Ants."
"What? What are their weaknesses? Tell me quickly." Lei Tianrui and others looked at Qin Haodong pitifully.
Hu Xiaoxian also said: "Yes, Haodong, these things are already halfway through, tell them what their weaknesses are quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Qin Haodong said calmly: "All things in nature are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Every creature has something to restrain it, and the hell soul-eating ants are no exception. What they are most afraid of is a plant called yellow spring grass. As long as there is a leaf of yellow spring grass,
The soul-eating ants will never dare to get close to you."
"What's the use of this? We haven't even seen what Yellow Spring Grass is, so where can we find it?"
"That's right, isn't this nonsense? There is not even a single blade of grass on this small island, let alone any yellow spring grass."
Just when Zhao Qiankun and the others were complaining, a small yellow leaf appeared in Qin Haodong's palm, and he said cheerfully: "What a coincidence, I happen to have aphrodisiac here."
These yellow spring grasses were accidentally encountered when he was collecting medicine. At that time, he did not expect to encounter such terrifying creatures as hell-eating ants. However, the space in the storage ring was large enough, so he picked some and threw them in.
, I didn’t expect it to be a good thing that can save lives now.
"Hold it carefully, don't lose it."
Qin Haodong gave the leaf in his hand to Hu Xiaoxian, and took another one out of his pocket.
Lei Tianrui and others looked at the small golden leaf in Qin Haodong's hand, with infinite desire flashing in their eyes, and they immediately gathered around.
"Doctor Qin, do you still have the Huangquan leaves? Can you give me one?"
Lei Tianrui asked with a flattering face.
Seeing the dense crowds of hell-eating ants on the river, he no longer cared about face.
Qin Haodong said: "Yes, there is, but why should I give it to you?"
Lei Tianrui said: "Dr. Qin, you have forgotten that we are partners, and we should always help each other when encountering difficulties."
"Oh! When you said that, I remembered that you were collecting fares from me just now."
Lei Tianrui wanted to slap himself a few times and wanted to collect protection money, but he was almost killed by the Five Poisons mercenary group. In the end, he was saved by others. This time he wanted to collect a fare, but in the end he didn't even have a car.
I have to put down my face again and beg others for help.
Qin Haodong played with the Huang Quan Ye in his hand and said: "This is a life-saving thing in my hand now. If you want it, it's not expensive to charge you double the fare, right?"
"Well……"
Lei Tianrui suddenly blushed. In order to recover the lost money quickly, he had asked Qin Haodong for a daily fare of 5 million. Doubling it would be 10 million. In the past, Qin Haodong charged 1 million every time. Now,
When my son grew ten times, I shot myself in the foot.
Qin Haodong smiled and said: "As I said, I have always been a childlike person in business. I buy and sell voluntarily. If you want to buy, you can buy. If you don't want to buy, don't force me."
Lei Tianrui glanced at the dark, dense hell-eating ants in the river again, and there was no choice.
He said: "Dr. Qin, I definitely want to buy it, but there is no cell phone signal here, and I don't have that much cash, so I have no way to pay for it 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 number of 10 million, Wang Yuancheng felt a little pained. He said: "Are you sure this leaf is useful?"
Qin Haodong said: "If it works, it can save lives. If it doesn't work, we will all become ant droppings. What does it matter if you just write an IOU of 100 million?"
A few people thought about it and it was right. If one of them dies, it will be useless no matter how much money is left, besides it is an IOU.
Xie Zidan said: "Dr. Qin, I believe you, I want one Huang Quan Ye."
Qin Haodong took out a pen and paper from his backpack, handed it to Xie Zidan and said, "It was quite hard for you to help me drive all the way. I'll give you a 50% discount and just write 5 million."
"Thank you, Doctor Qin." Xie Zidan wrote an IOU of 5 million without hesitation, and then took away a yellow spring leaf from Qin Haodong.
Although Lei Tianrui and others were hesitant, when they saw that the ants were very close to the shore, they gritted their teeth and wrote down the IOUs, and then took the Huang Quan Ye from Qin Haodong.
Seeing Qin Haodong stuffing all the paper, pens and IOUs into his backpack, Lei Tianrui's heart moved. He always saw Qin Haodong taking things out of the backpack along the way, but the shape of the backpack didn't change much, as if it could hold so much.
Things won't bulge, and they won't deflate no matter how much you take them out. Could this be a legendary Xuanmen treasure?
The tense moment has arrived, and the hell-eating ants finally completed their landing on the beach, landing in large swaths on the small island in the center of the pool.
Qin Haodong and his party stood together in a circle, each holding a yellow spring leaf in their hands. Now it was time to see whether this little leaf would work.
At this time, the sun has completely set behind the horizon, and only a bright moon in the sky shines on this small valley. There is silence all around, and everyone can clearly hear their own breathing, heartbeat and the rustling of ants crawling forward.
These hell-eating ants are getting closer and closer, and you can even see the two large pincers waving on their heads through the moonlight.
Five meters, three meters, two meters... When the Hell Eater Ants came to a place about one meter away from them, they suddenly stopped. The two tentacles on their heads were swinging wildly, and then they seemed to be greatly frightened.
Usually, you turn around and run towards the back.
Panic seems to be contagious. The hell-eating ants that were so fierce and indomitable just now are like an army that has collapsed after a big defeat. They have no formation and no discipline. They are rushing towards the pool, and there are even many of them.
The ants had no time to jump onto the leaves and fell directly into the pool. After struggling for a few times, they sank.
Everyone on the island breathed a sigh of relief, including Qin Haodong. He had only learned in the world of cultivation that Huang Quan Ye could restrain Hell's Soul-Eating Ants, but he had never tested it. He didn't expect the effect to be so good. It seems that the creator is really miraculous.
After a few minutes, all the ants on the island had fled. Even the hell-eating ants outside the pool began to retreat. After ten minutes, there was no trace of an ant in the entire valley. If
It wasn't that the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood, it was as if nothing had happened.
Everyone has a feeling of surviving a disaster. No wonder so many expedition teams enter the death zone and no longer have any information. This place is really evil.
It was now late at night. For safety reasons, they did not return to the waterhole, but directly camped on the island.
Early the next morning, the sun rose from the east, and the golden sunshine filled the valley. Qin Haodong used the same method to send Hu Xiaoxian and the little guy to the other side first, and then threw the yellow spring leaves in his hand into the pool, using the buoyancy of the leaves.
Crossed the water.
Lei Tianrui and the others looked at the Huangquan leaf with extremely complicated emotions. This little thing cost them a total of 10 million. But they didn't dare to throw it away. Who knows if they will encounter such a terrible thing again in the future.
After calming down, they all returned to the other side of the pool.
Looking around the valley at this time, it is still quiet and beautiful. The beasts that were devoured yesterday did not leave even a bone residue. There was only a pool of spilled oil stains on the two Hummers. Only the burned one was
The dark gasoline ditch truly records what happened here.
Lei Tianrui said to Hu Xiaoxian and others: "Let's discuss what to do next. Should we continue to move forward or go back?"
Hu Xiaoxian said: "Our mission has not 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. Wouldn't it be a waste of all our efforts to go back now? Besides, how do you know there will be no danger if we go back?"
Lei Tianrui said: "Xiaoxian is right, since we are already here, we should move on."
After the goal was unified, they continued to march towards the depths of Shennongjia. Naturally, Qin Haodong would not go back. He held the little guy and walked behind the team with Hu Xiaoxian.
