Chapter 342: The Tide of Corpse Ants, This Place is Not Ordinary
The posture it took to stand was extremely strange, its entire skeleton stiff, and its neck below the ground looked like a mummy. However, its legs were as flexible as a snake as it crawled towards Ye Bai.
It's all so weird.
Ye Bai knew that if it got close to him, he would definitely die!
"This skull seems to be covered with spells." Ye Bai thought to himself that something was wrong.
At this moment, black mist flew out of the coffin and wrapped around the skull. The power of the black mist was so strange that the skull's movements suddenly stopped.
"Haha, let's see where you can escape now!" Ye Bai was overjoyed.
He rushed forward quickly and stepped on the skull.
The skull did not dodge, allowing Ye Bai's feet to trample hard on its chest.
"Roar--"
With a shrill scream, the skull finally disappeared.
Ye Bai took a breath for a while, then he looked down at the bottom of the coffin, only to find that it was empty and there was nothing inside.
"What's going on?" Ye Bai frowned.
"Is that thing hidden here?"
He reached out to touch the coffin, but when he touched the bottom, something strange happened.
"Huh?" Ye Bai asked in surprise, "How could it be..."
A map actually appeared at the bottom of the coffin. The map was blurry by more than a hundred times, and even Ye Bai could not clearly see every stroke on it.
Ye Bai tried to focus on the map, but he could only make out a few strokes on it.
"There's a valley marked on this map. Could this be the Yin Yang Valley?"
Ye Bai saw the last stroke on the map clearly, and his heart was pounding.
Because this is a valley, there are two sunken pits in the center of the valley. There are broken bones in one of the pits, and there is a coffin in the other pit.
"If this is true, then the black mist must be hidden in this tomb."
Ye Bai took out a compass, calculated the direction, and then took Meng Xi and Yang Mengxue along the route marked on the map to the Yin Yang Valley.
The three of them walked for a long time and finally arrived at the Yin Yang Valley in the evening.
This is a deserted canyon with complex and rugged terrain.
Ye Bai looked at the compass needle, then looked around and found that there was no trace of the skull.
"Could that guy be hiding?" he muttered.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the distance.
Ye Bai looked up and saw a dense group of pitch-black ants pouring out from the depths of the woods, there were tens of thousands of them.
They lined up and slowly crawled towards Ye Bai and the other two, and the dark cloud of insects blocked their vision.
"Damn, it's corpse ants!" Yang Mengxue screamed, and beads of cold sweat the size of beans instantly appeared on her forehead.
Corpse ants are insects that specialize in devouring human flesh and blood. Their food is the corpses of humans and various insects, especially the rotten corpses of babies.
Their teeth are so sharp that they can easily bite through steel and iron bones. Even guns may not be able to kill them.
Moreover, corpse ants like to gather together to form a huge army of corpse ants.
Corpse ants have extremely strong reproductive capacity.
The live broadcast room was instantly flooded with comments, and the audience's fear and worry surged like a tide.
"Oh my god, these corpse ants are too scary! Run away, host!"
"I feel like I'm really doomed this time. How can I escape with so many corpse ants?"
"The arrogant boss has also come to this day. I hope he can come up with a solution!"
Ye Bai's brows furrowed, but his eyes remained calm. He quickly pulled out a few packets of powder from his backpack and threw them at the swarm of corpse ants.
The powder dispersed in the air, forming a light smoke.
After the corpse ants came into contact with the smoke, they paused for a moment, but soon continued to move forward.
"What is this? Why doesn't it work?" Meng Ziyi asked anxiously.
"This is just ordinary insect repellent powder. It can slow down their speed a little." Ye Bai said as he observed the surrounding environment, looking for terrain that could be used.
Yang Mi was so frightened that her face turned pale and her voice trembled. "Are we going to die here? I don't want to be eaten by these things."
Ye Bai glanced at her and said, "Calm down. You're afraid you can't solve the problem."
The swarm of corpse ants was getting closer and closer, and the rustling sound seemed like a countdown to death.
Ye Bai's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a narrow ravine not far away, in which flowed some liquid with a pungent smell.
"Go that way!" Ye Bai shouted, and ran towards the ravine first. Meng Ziyi and Yang Mi hurriedly followed.
The three of them ran to the edge of the gully. Ye Bai picked up a stone and threw it into the gully. As soon as the stone touched the liquid, a puff of white smoke rose, as if it was corroded.
"This liquid is corrosive and may be able to stop corpse ants." Ye Bai said.
The swarm of corpse ants quickly caught up and rushed towards the ravine without hesitation.
The first corpse ant fell into the ravine and was instantly submerged in the liquid, and its body began to melt.
The corpse ants behind did not stop and continued to move forward.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched this scene nervously.
"Will this method work? I feel like there are too many corpse ants."
"Come on, host, you must succeed!"
As more and more corpse ants fell into the ditch, the liquid gradually filled up, and the corpse ants began to pile up on it, trying to build a "corpse ant bridge."
"Oh no, they are coming." Meng Ziyi exclaimed.
Ye Bai looked around and found some dry branches nearby. He quickly picked them up, lit them with a tinder, and threw them toward the pile of corpse ants. The burning branches landed on the pile, instantly igniting a huge fire. The corpse ants fled in all directions, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.
"Let's go now!" Ye Bai took Meng Ziyi and Yang Mi and left along the edge of the ravine.
After walking for a while, they finally got rid of the swarm of corpse ants. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"It was so thrilling, I felt like my heart was about to stop." Yang Mi said, patting her chest.
"Don't be too happy too soon. We don't know what other dangers there may be here." Ye Bai said coldly.
They continued to walk deeper into the valley, and the surrounding environment became increasingly gloomy.
Suddenly, Meng Ziyi felt something grabbing his feet.
She looked down and screamed in fear. A bony hand reached out from the ground and grabbed her ankle.
"Ah! Help!" Meng Ziyi struggled desperately.
Ye Bai quickly squatted down, took out a dagger, and chopped hard at the bony hand.
The dagger hit the bone, sending up some sparks.
The skeletal hands loosened Meng Ziyi's ankles, but more skeletal hands stretched out from the ground.
"This is a cemetery. There must be a lot of corpses underground. We were discovered by them." Ye Bai said.
There was another panic in the live broadcast room.
"Oh my god, this is too scary, it feels like a horror movie."
"Host, please think of a solution quickly. These bone hands are too terrifying."
