Niu Ba had always been a man of action. After deciding to flip over that patch of grass, he abruptly swung out a fist. The surging power was like a tidal wave rushing towards the grassland in front of him. The grassland that was half the height of a person was completely crushed into powder, revealing a large patch of pitch-black soil. Within the soil, thousands of eerie white bones were displayed, looking extremely shocking!
Seeing these piles of white bones, everyone's expressions changed slightly. They could all see that these white bones were still very fresh. Clearly, they were the corpses of the people who had walked through this patch of grass and disappeared.
"What exactly happened to these people?" Niu Ba's face was solemn. "Their flesh and blood have been eaten clean!"
Wu Hui looked at those skeletons and his pupils suddenly shrank. He said in a low voice, "Those aren't soil, they're ants!"
Hearing Wu Hui's reminder, everyone focused their gazes on the "black soil" covering the skeletons. The "black soil" was crawling back and forth. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a group of densely packed black ants!
After seeing this scene clearly, everyone felt their scalps go numb. The black mass on the ground was actually all ants!
"What kind of ants are these?
They can actually eat the flesh and blood of cultivators! "
Niu Ba exclaimed. Previously, those people had suddenly disappeared. Didn't that mean that those people had been eaten clean by these ants in a short period of time?
At this moment, Ah Xie was so scared that his face was drained of color. Previously, he had almost stepped into the patch of grass in front of him. Fortunately, he had seen the figures of a few people suddenly disappear and reacted quickly to stop moving forward. Otherwise, he would have been one of those people who had fallen to the ground.
"These ants are definitely not ordinary ants."
Qinchuan's tone was solemn as he said, "They suffered a blow from Niu Ba just now, but not a single one of them died!"
Hearing Qinchuan's words, everyone finally reacted. Niu Ba's blow did not cause any harm to these ants. This was completely illogical!
Niu Ba was somewhat unconvinced and attacked again. Surging spiritual energy fell into the swarm of ants, but it did not cause any waves. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace. On the other hand, the ants that Niu Ba had chosen to attack swelled up one by one, becoming the size of a thumb.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that these ants actually had the ability to devour spiritual energy!
Niu Ba let out a strange cry and said, "No wonder they aren't afraid of being attacked. They can actually devour spiritual energy to feed themselves!"
Boom!
Just as Niu Ba was speaking, Wu Rui suddenly made a move, sweeping away the grass in front of everyone. He glanced at the ground and discovered that there were only traces of black ants about a kilometer in front of them. On their side, there wasn't even a single black ant.
Ah Mei frowned slightly and said, "This is very strange. Why would these black ants gather there?"
Mei's question was the same as everyone else's. Weren't these black ants a little too concentrated? Not a single one was spread out.
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, Qinchuan observed for a moment before saying to everyone, "I know what's going on."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, everyone immediately looked at Qinchuan, waiting for Qinchuan to give an explanation. However, Qinchuan looked at the people around him and said, "There are too many people here. Let's clear the area first."
Not far away, everyone was still waiting to hear Qinchuan talk about what he had discovered. In the end, they heard Qinchuan say to clear the area. This made them unhappy. Just as they were about to look for Qinchuan to argue, they saw Niu Ba and Wu Rui looking at them, their eyes revealing a thick murderous intent!
"If you all want to go over, then leave first."
Qinchuan looked at the others and said indifferently, "I don't have the habit of helping strangers. If you all don't want to leave and want to follow behind us, then be careful whether or not I will use some tricks to trick you."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, the others showed hesitation on their faces. It was still early and they didn't have to walk this path. There was no need to fight to the death with Qinchuan and the others here. After thinking for a moment, they made the decision to leave.
After waiting for the dozens of people around them to leave, Wu Rui turned to Qinchuan and asked, "Did you discover something else?"
Qinchuan nodded and said, "There's something wrong with that place. I'm going to study it carefully. If too many people stay here, it will be very disadvantageous for us to obtain the treasure later. I deliberately said to trick them to scare them off."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Ah Mei's eyes lit up and she asked, "You mean to say that there's a treasure in that place?"
Qinchuan nodded again and replied, "The reason why those ants have gathered there is because there's a treasure in the ground. Moreover, the ants' ability to absorb spiritual energy is most likely due to the influence of that treasure!"
Hearing Qinchuan's words, everyone became excited. They had only just entered the ruins and they had already encountered a treasure. Their luck was really not bad!
But then again, with those ferocious ants around, it would be difficult for them to obtain the treasure.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Qinchuan asked, "If we obtain the treasure, how will it be distributed?"
Hearing Qinchuan's words, everyone was slightly stunned. Then, they subconsciously looked at No Regrets. Wu Regrets looked at Qinchuan and replied, "It will be distributed according to contribution. If you make the greatest contribution and there are many treasures, you can take the biggest share. If there's only one share, then it will belong to you. Otherwise, if there's a single treasure in the future, you can't take it anymore."
Qinchuan pondered for a moment before nodding and said, "Alright, let's do it this way."
As he spoke, Qinchuan turned his head and looked at the ant colony in front of him and said to the crowd, "If we want to deal with these ants, we just need to drive them away."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, everyone was curious. They wanted to see what method Qinchuan planned to use to drive these ants away from that place. Under everyone's gaze, Qinchuan took out the Qilin Pen and inscribed the Wind Sweeping Clouds Talisman Array. As the gale soared into the sky, everyone understood what Qinchuan meant. Qinchuan wanted to use the wind to sweep the ants away!
A gale whistled and rushed towards the ant colony not far away. Under the strong wind, most of the ants in the colony couldn't help but merge into the gale. However, due to the excessive number of ants, the cyan wind gradually turned black!
Seeing this scene, Qinchuan frowned slightly. These ants were actually trying to devour the gale!
"Tear it apart!"
Qinchuan growled and suddenly injected a large amount of spiritual energy into the array. At the same time, the power of the gale doubled, and at the same time, the ants devoured even more fiercely. However, the ants' endurance was limited. After a moment, a large number of ants were stuffed to death!
