Chapter 112 Ant Colony
Although they had never played the swamp map before, Wan Xiong and his group had rich basic combat skills and competition experience.
They were much stronger than Liu Zhiyuan and Xiaobai, and they adapted faster.
The key is that their overall strength is stronger!
The gap between high-level spirit warriors and intermediate spirit warriors is still very large.
At this moment, Bai Muye and the other four were almost trapped here.
There seemed to be no other way to go except to retreat.
The only way forward was the big head of the buffalo that was exposed above the water...
But I didn't dare to step on it!
"What about retreating and going around it?" Bai Muye asked.
Shan Gu shook his head and said, "It's more dangerous behind. The giant crocodile and the python just now... are both in that direction. If we go there, it's like delivering ourselves to the door. Even if we can barely defeat them one by one, there are more unknown dangers if we go around there."
"What should we do?" Ji Caiyi said, "We can't just wait here and see who can live longer, right?"
Liu Zhiyuan pondered and said, "It's not impossible to do this. There are big buffaloes here, and other huge creatures probably don't dare to approach. But..."
He said, pointing to the surrounding environment: "There are still many terrible small creatures here. Have you forgotten what we encountered in the dungeon before?"
Of course I can't forget it. Even a small insect as big as a fly can poison a person to death, and there is no time to use the purification talisman!
The environment around them is only worse than the previous dungeon.
Bai Muye squinted and looked around.
Then, his eyes stayed in the water not far to his left.
Several companions followed his gaze and looked over. There was nothing there except a floating grass raft.
Bai Muye, whose childhood memories on Sanxian Island had been restored, kept looking at the straw raft.
"Are you planning to take that thing?" Liu Zhiyuan squatted beside Bai Muye and looked at him with a puzzled look.
Bai Muye nodded, then looked at the others: "Who has a rope?"
"I have!" Shan Gu said.
Then he took out a ball of something that looked like a fishing line from his body.
"Isn't this a fishing line? What are you going to do with it?" Bai Muye took it and asked casually.
"I wanted to try and see if I could fish here..." Shan Gu was a little embarrassed, "At that time, I thought, if we have to fight a protracted war, we can't go hungry. These are all the survival skills I learned from books."
Bai Muye looked at him with a frown: "Brother, you are really good!"
Shan Gu: "Really?"
Bai Muye nodded seriously and looked at him and said: "Tie one end of the fishing line to the tail of your arrow, and then shoot it to the grass raft. Is it long enough?"
"It's enough, but... what are you going to do?" Shan Gu looked at Bai Muye with a puzzled look.
Ji Caiyi and Liu Zhiyuan were also looking at Bai Muye.
"Have you rowed a boat?" Bai Muye laughed.
The other three: ???
Audience: ???
Ten minutes later, four people were lying on this grass raft that was more than four meters long and more than two meters wide.
Liu Zhiyuan and Bai Muye lay on both sides, one hand each, and reached into the water. The movement was very light, but each stroke was very hard to paddle backwards.
Carefully paddling forward in the water.
The straw raft floated slowly forward.
"A pile of cow dung just fell into the water." Shan Gu muttered.
Bai Muye: "Get lost!"
Ji Caiyi glared at him: "You are so disgusting!"
The straw raft was moving very slowly, but it was floating forward bit by bit.
This swamp was dotted with large and small water bodies, the largest of which was no more than 200 meters in radius, and the small water bodies ranged from a few meters to dozens of meters.
If you were not afraid of alarming the creatures here or getting trapped, you could actually move forward by jumping in most places.
But no one really dared to do so, that would be courting death.
There was not much soil under the straw raft, less than one meter thick, and it was quite flat on top. You could still smell the fragrance of grass when you lay on it.
The few insects were all bounced away by the crowd, and some were invisible and ignored. Everyone was armed more tightly, and if they were really bitten, they would purify it, and if they could not purify it, it would be bad luck...
There was no way at all!
It was not easy for this group of rookies to achieve this.
They were all nervous and nervous.
They were afraid that the thing would suddenly fall apart, and they were also afraid of being bitten by the bad little bugs hiding in the grass, and they were even more afraid that something would suddenly emerge from the water.
In such a ghost place, it was useless to know how to swim, because they couldn't swim as well as those things in the water.
If you fall in, there is basically no escape.
It is estimated that this area is the territory of big buffaloes, so although the few people were scared, nothing really came out to harass them.
The straw raft was also very powerful. It looked soft and fluffy like a thick blanket, but it was very tough.
The few people followed the waterway, bypassed the floating straw rafts, and also walked in a diagonal line, constantly paddling towards the northwest.
After leaving the territory of the big buffalo, Shan Gu began to use his expertise, using his keen observation and strong perception to direct Liu Zhiyuan and Bai Muye to avoid those dangerous areas.
At the same time, he was also on the verge of a bow and arrow, always keeping a high level of vigilance.
Ji Caiyi assisted Shan Gu on the side and looked around.
Bai Muye paddled with one hand, but held a few talismans in the other hand. In case of an accident, the talismans in his hand would be thrown out at the first time.
Four people, each doing their own job.
This scene made all the audience watching the game feel novel and couldn't help but nod secretly.
People who know the knowledge of wilderness survival appreciate these children who are only in the first year of high school.
United, smart, working together, and knowing how to use everyone's expertise!
And they are all good enough!
People who don't know the knowledge of wilderness survival also think they are doing a good job. At least they can't think of these ideas.
Especially Xiaobai, who actually thought of using a floating straw raft as a boat...
Don't underestimate this humble idea. It seems simple, but it is something that many smart city kids can't even think of!
This makes many people wonder, why can Xiaobai, a kid who also lives in the city, think of this?
"I love Xiaobai! He is handsome, no need to explain. Although his mental strength is not high, he is good at controlling this powerful talisman technique. The key is that he is really smart, almost catching up with me!"
"I like Xiaobai more and more, starting with his appearance and falling for his talent! I have decided that he is my idol for life."
"Xiaobai is also very good, even when he loses his temper, he looks very handsome! I really want to fall in love with him!"
There are a lot of praises on the Internet, and some praise Shan Gu for his strong observation and perception, praise Liu Zhiyuan, the captain, for his calmness, and praise Ji Caiyi... uh, praise her long legs for running really fast!
As time went on, the two teams got closer and closer on the map.
When the actual distance between the two sides was only more than 300 meters, Wan Xiong finally encountered some trouble.
There was a small forest in front of them.
It was not a very standard circle, with a diameter of about 40 to 50 meters.
There were a lot of dense bushes more than one person tall and a few birch trees growing inside.
Then, they found the corpse of a water python in front of them.
There was almost no flesh and blood, only a long skeleton was left in front of them.
Then in some of the remaining flesh and blood, there were many fist-sized red ants climbing up and down quickly.
It was plain and boring.
But it made people feel numb when they saw it!
Fist-sized ants!
These things are in groups and can eat people!
Wan Xiong and his men all looked serious.
Although they didn't know what special abilities they had, they all understood that this thing was definitely not easy to mess with.
"Don't move." Wan Xiong waved his hand behind him and stopped there.
If you want to go through, you must pass through this small forest, because there are large and small waters on both sides, and a large number of floating grass rafts are dotted among them.
"Wait until these ants are gone, then we will go through." Wan Xiong said softly.
Snap!
A light sound.
Mu Xi looked down, his expression was dull for a moment, and then he looked at his three teammates with an ugly face.
The three followed his line of sight.
Under Mu Xi's feet, a red ant as big as a fist was crushed by him.
It couldn't be deader.
"Damn!" Pan Xiangwen immediately swore, his face turned pale.
"Fuck!" Li Qiufeng also cursed.
What the hell, why are you strolling here?
Wan Xiong looked around, looking for a way to escape.
Either return the original way, or rush over quickly.
At this time, it's time for him to make a decision.
As for blaming Mu Xi... I haven't thought about it.
Even Pan Xiangwen just swore subconsciously.
The most basic rule of a team is to trust and tolerate each other.
If this can't be done, the so-called team cohesion is a joke.
"Charge!"
Wan Xiong gritted his teeth and rushed towards the bushes ahead. The knife in his hand spit out long flames and kept slashing at the dense bushes.
Yan Yue cuts the way and destroys everything in his way!
Li Qiufeng followed closely beside Wan Xiong, and the long spear in his hand quickly jumped away from the bushes that Wan Xiong had cut off.
"Mu Xi, you go in the middle!" Pan Xiangwen said in a deep voice, spinning the flying knife in his hand.
Mu Xi lowered his head, with a bit of apology on his face, but said nothing, and walked in the middle with his head down.
This small forest was too small. Almost in the blink of an eye, four people had already rushed over.
Then everyone was dumbfounded.
In front of them... there is no way!
A 70-80-meter-wide water area appeared in the eyes of several people, and three or four small grass rafts with a diameter of less than two meters were floating on the water.
There are also some beautiful little red, blue and yellow flowers growing on it, swaying gently in the breeze.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound behind them. When several people looked back, their faces turned green.
Large groups of red ants rolled in from all directions of the grove.
Like a red carpet being rolled out quickly.
Welcome.
