Facing the menacing fire ants, Wang Dazhuang quickly reminded his teammates, "Retreat quickly..."
Wu Xiaohe exclaimed at this time, "Brother Wang, there are fire ants behind us too. ”
Lin Li looked back and found that a large group of fire ants, as big as an adult’s fist, had appeared behind everyone at some point.
"Damn it, these fire ants have surrounded us..." Ji Haoyang cursed in panic.
"We have no place to escape, what should we do now?" Wu Xiaohe looked at the approaching fire ants, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Wang Dazhuang, who has rich experience in the wilderness, became calmer in times of crisis. He did not give up his escape. He quickly took off his backpack and took out a slender bamboo tube.
"What are you doing?" Lin Li looked at the movements of Wang Dazhuang's hands in confusion.
"Brother Wang, what are you going to do?" Wu Xiaohe asked, trembling all over.
"Fire ants are afraid of fire. My bamboo tube contains fuel..." Wang Dazhuang explained simply, and then opened the lid of the bamboo tube.
“It smells so strong of gasoline, but this thing doesn’t seem to be gasoline.” Lin Li thought to himself when he saw the black liquid pouring out of Wang Dazhuang’s bamboo tube.
"I'm going to start a fire, please be careful." Wang Dazhuang poured a circle of black liquid on the grass around everyone, and after giving a warning, he took out a box of matches from his pocket.
"Crack."
The match ignited an orange-red flame, and as Wang Dazhuang threw it forward, it drew a parabola in the air and landed on the weeds dripping with black liquid.
"Peng."
The moment the match came into contact with the black liquid, it immediately burst into flames.
The blazing flames spread quickly and formed an irregular circle. At this moment, Lin Li and the other four were standing in the center of this irregular circle.
"Squeak, squeak..."
The fist-sized fire ants are really afraid of fire. After they rushed over, they stopped half a meter in front of the fire ring, not daring to take another step forward. A furious scream came from his mouth.
"Huh..."
Wang Dazhuang and the other three saw the ferocious fire ants stop and breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.
"How long can this fuel continue to burn?" Lin Li asked.
"It can last for about five minutes." Wang Dazhuang replied.
“Only five minutes!” Ji Haoyang was very disappointed when he heard that the fire ring that blocked the fire ants would be extinguished in five minutes.
"When the fire goes out, these fire ants will swarm up. What will we do then?" asked the pale Wu Xiaohe.
"..." Wang Dazhuang remained silent because he didn't know how to deal with these ferocious fire ants after the fire ring was extinguished.
Ji Haoyang gritted his teeth and said, "When the fire ring is about to extinguish, let's rush outside!"
Wang Dazhuang looked around. At this moment, the four of them were surrounded by fire ants, a large black mass, and they wanted to rush out. Going out, there is little hope.
"There are too many fire ants around, it's difficult to rush out..." Wang Dazhuang said solemnly.
Ji Haoyang's eyes showed despair when he heard the girl he admired next to him speaking.
"If you want to escape from the siege of these fire ants, the only way at the moment is to use the method Ji Haoyang said..." Wu Xiaohe said.
Then, she paused and added, "You don't have to worry about me when you rush outside later."
Surrounded by fire ants, she forced herself to rush outside, even though there was a chance of escaping. Very slim, but not impossible.
However, if you want to leave safely with Wu Xiaohe, who has the lowest cultivation level, the chance of successfully escaping from the trap is simply zero.
Wu Xiaohe also thought of this, so he told everyone to leave her alone when they rushed outside later.
"Let's go together..." Ji Haoyang said quickly.
"We can't leave you alone..." Wang Dazhuang said.
Wu Xiaohe said hurriedly, "You are stronger than me. If you rush outside, you still have a chance to escape. If you take me with you, you will have no chance."
"..." Wang Dazhuang and Ji Haoyang both fell silent when they heard this, and then they shook their heads and said they would not give up on Wu Xiaohe.
"It's better for me to die alone than to die together..." Wu Xiaohe was so anxious that she almost shed tears as she continued to persuade.
"Cough cough cough..." Lin Li, who had been standing aside and said little, suddenly coughed several times, interrupting the conversation between the three of them.
When they looked towards Lin Li, they saw Lin Li speaking calmly.
"If you need fire, I have it here..."
As soon as they finished speaking, Wang Dazhuang and the others saw a pale golden light flashing through Lin Li's outstretched right hand, and then , a small fireball the size of a fist appeared out of thin air.
“Eh?!!!”
“Fireball!!!”
"You actually awakened two powers!!!"
"Lin Li, you are so powerful!"
Wang Dazhuang and the other three looked at Lin Li with wide eyes, their faces full of shock. color.
Lin Li nodded with a smile and said modestly, "It's just good luck."
Ji Haoyang looked at the small fireball floating in Lin Li's hand, suppressed his shock, and then said with some disappointment .
"Your little fireball is too small. After the fire ring is extinguished, those fire ants will swarm forward and cannot be stopped."
"..." Wang Dazhuang and Wu Xiaohe opened their mouths but did not speak, because Their thoughts at the moment were the same as Ji Haoyang's.
Lin Li smiled, then raised his left hand and snapped his fingers.
"Bang."
The small fireball suspended in Lin Li's right hand immediately split and turned into more than twenty smaller fireballs.
"???" When Wang Dazhuang and the others saw Lin Li's operation, their faces were full of question marks. They had no idea what Lin Li was trying to do by splitting the small fireball.
However, the answer to the mystery was soon revealed. They were once again shocked by Lin Li's next operation, and their eyes widened in shock.
"Get up." Lin Li whispered in his mouth, and more than twenty small fireballs immediately flew into the sky, and they expanded rapidly as they rose into the air.
The small fireballs that were originally only the size of a fingernail turned into giant fireballs with a diameter of two meters in the blink of an eye.
“What a big fireball!” Wu Xiaohe exclaimed as he looked at the huge fireball suspended in mid-air.
"It turns out these fireballs can get bigger!" Ji Haoyang said in surprise.
“With these fireballs, the fire ants surrounding us are no longer a threat.” Wang Dazhuang relaxed his nervousness and said with a smile on his face.
Lin Li saw that the three people relaxed and were no longer as nervous as before, and immediately started to clear away the fire ants around them.
There are fire ants all around, and it is a huge black area. Without targeted measures, it is difficult to escape from the siege of these guys.
"Zhizhizhi..." Lin Li created more than twenty huge fireballs, and the surrounding fire ants began to panic.
Then, under the control of Lin Li, the fireball began to land on the ground, which caused the fire ants, who were afraid of fire, to retreat continuously and scream continuously from their mouths.
“They started to retreat.” Wu Xiaohe said with a smile when he saw the fire ants retreating.
"You guys have today too?" Ji Haoyang said with a smile.
Wang Dazhuang learned his lesson and decided in his heart, "These fire ants are really afraid of fire. I will prepare more fuel on my body in the future."
"Chi."
The fireball suddenly accelerated its movement, and the fire ants that could not dodge were burned by the blazing flames, causing them to scream in pain.
Lin Li controlled the fireball to continue to accelerate. Many fire ants that could not dodge were directly engulfed by the flames, and then burned into a pile of coke.
"Zhizhizhi..."
The fire ants that were retreating slowly became even more panicked and scrambled to escape far away. Unfortunately, the fireball moved much faster than they could run. quick.
Lin Li controlled the fireball to kill the fire ants. After a while, most of the fire ants were burned to death.
"They all ran away..." Wu Xiaohe said in surprise when he saw that there was no live fire ant at the scene.
Seeing that the danger was over, Lin Li extinguished all the fireballs.
"Lin Li, thanks to you this time, otherwise we would all die here." Wang Dazhuang said to Lin Li gratefully.
"We all came here to hunt for treasures. We encountered danger. This is what I should do." Lin Li said with a smile.
"Lin Li, you have awakened two powers. It's really amazing." Wu Xiaohe's eyes lit up and his tone was very exciting.
A practitioner who has awakened one power is enviable, let alone a person who has awakened two powers. This is the first time Wu Xiaohe has encountered a person who has awakened two powers.
"..." Ji Haoyang, who was standing aside, didn't say anything unfriendly this time.
After all, Lin Li had just rescued everyone. Even if he was jealous, he would not be as unfriendly as before.
The dead fire ants exuded a burning smell, which was very unpleasant. A gust of wind blew at the scene, causing the unpleasant smell to drift far away.
Lin Li raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and the other three people also made the same move.
"Leave this place quickly! The smell is too unpleasant." Wu Xiaohe said.
“I didn’t expect these burnt fire ants to emit such a foul smell.” Ji Haoyang also looked disgusted.
“Let’s keep going forward.” Wang Dazhuang pointed forward and said.
Lin Li showed off his supernatural powers just now, which made Wang Dazhuang and the others more confident in their next treasure hunt.
Afterwards, a group of four people continued to explore forward, looking for the spiritual plant that was rumored to be able to bear spiritual fruits.
…………
The sun in the sky is emitting hot sunlight, making the plants on the ground listless.
There is a group of people running fast in the distance. Their clothes are somewhat tattered. If you look closely, you will find that the tears in the clothes are stained red with blood.
The bald man and his group fought with the storm-chasing dogs. Although they broke through their siege, several people were injured. At the same time, those who were lucky enough to survive also had many injuries.
"Boss, I can't hold on anymore." A boy with an injured arm shouted. At this time, his face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat, as if he would not be able to hold on and fall down in the next second.
"Hold on, let's run a little further and then stop to rest." The bald man encouraged the younger brother who was shouting.
Another ten minutes passed, and the bald man and his group felt that they were completely free of the storm-chasing dogs, so they stopped.
"Huh..."
At this time, everyone was sitting on the floor, their chests rising and falling rapidly, and their mouths kept breathing heavily.
"Hiss..."
Some people kept gasping for air because of the severe pain from the wounds, and a few people screamed in pain because they couldn't bear the severe pain.
The bald man looked at the injured brothers with a gloomy expression.
This time they came to this abandoned mining area to hunt for treasure. Not only did they find nothing, they also lost a lot of people. It was a huge loss.
"Boss, we are running deep into the mining area, and we are running in the wrong direction." A young man with a scar on his face calmed down and warned.
"I know we are running in the wrong direction." The bald man replied.
"Huh?" After hearing this, all the boys had puzzled expressions on their faces.
The deeper they run into the mining area, the more dangerous it becomes. Now they should run in a safe direction. Why do they do this?
The bald man looked at his puzzled younger brother and explained to them.
“When those storm-chasing dogs surrounded us just now, they were weak toward the depths of the mining area, so I led you to break out towards this location.
Also, those storm-chasing dogs are obviously well prepared. If we break out of the mining area, even if the breakout is successful, they might not be as relaxed as they are now in chasing us. "
"That's it, the boss is wise and powerful. "After listening to this explanation, the younger brothers nodded one after another, and then flattered them.
"Okay, everyone, stop talking, deal with your injuries first, and then recover your physical strength and spirit. Can... When the recovery is almost complete, we will find a way to get out of here. "The bald man raised his hand to signal the boys to be quiet.
At this time, a boy with better eyesight noticed that there were many black things moving quickly in the distance, and then shouted.< br>
“Boss, there seems to be something coming towards us in the distance. ”
"Huh?" The bald man was about to close his eyes and rest. When he heard his younger brother's reminder, he quickly got up from the ground and looked into the distance.
From far to near, fast-moving fire ants come into view one after another.
"It's fire ants, everyone, get up quickly." The bald man saw clearly that the black things running in the distance were fire ants, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly called to his younger brother sitting on the ground.
Everyone present does not know the power of fire ants. Now everyone is injured. Once surrounded by fire ants, the consequences will be disastrous.
“Stop standing there stupidly and run away.” The bald man yelled at a few stunned younger brothers.
Then, the group turned around and ran away. However, they turned around and ran forward for more than a hundred meters before stopping again.
"Roar..."
More than a dozen wind-chasing dogs looked at the tired bald man and his group fiercely, and kept making ferocious roars from their mouths.
"..." The bald man looked at the storm chasing dog blocking the way with an ugly expression. The faces of the boys beside him were full of despair.
"Zhizhizhizhi..."
The cry of fire ants came from behind, becoming increasingly clear.
“We are doomed now.” Some of the injured boys cried and cried, shouting that they did not want to die here.
"Stop crying, if you don't want to die here, just rush with me." The bald man roared, and then took the lead in rushing towards the wind chasing dog blocking the way.
