I saw two sets of clothes lying on the ground, complete with inner and outer coats and shoes, just like they were worn on people, but there was nothing inside the clothes, as if a person had disappeared directly from the clothes.
Looking at the two pieces of clothing, Luo Chen suddenly felt a creepy feeling. After carefully examining it with his senses, Luo Chen gently removed one of the clothes with his feet, and a trace of human blood appeared in Luo Chen's eyes.
Frowning tightly, Luo Chen removed another piece of clothing, and there was also a trace of human blood underneath.
Using his senses to explore the surroundings, Luo Chen saw two weapons not far ahead. One of the swords was stuck on the ground, and a red creature the size of an adult's fist was stuck on it.
"Um?"
Luo Chen frowned and looked carefully at the creature on the ground that was stabbed to death by the sword.
Sudden!
Luo Chen's pupils shrank suddenly and his eyes were fixed on the creature on the ground. It was an ant. To be precise, it was a red ant similar to an ordinary ant.
If it was just because of the color or size, Luo Chen wouldn't have such a big reaction. The main reason is that this ant is not only that, it also has a pair of sickle-shaped serrations and a black "king" on its head.
According to a book Luo Chen saw in the Sutra Library when he was a child, if he admits correctly, this kind of ant should be the ancient strange insect "blood ant".
It is said that this kind of blood ant is extremely poisonous. As long as it bites a living creature, the bitten area will instantly swell and ulcerate, and then quickly spread to the whole body until the flesh, flesh and bones of the living creature melt into blood.
Looking at the red ants and the two empty clothes, Luo Chen's scalp instantly felt numb. Yes, this must be the legendary blood ant, but he doesn't know how this species that has been extinct in ancient times could appear.
Here?
Not daring to think any more, Luo Chen hurriedly released his senses, paying close attention to all the movements around him, and then poured out an antidote pill and held it under his tongue in case of emergency.
Even if it were him, once he was bitten by a blood ant, he would probably die before he could take the detoxifying pill. Therefore, Luo Chen had to take precautions.
After taking precautions, Luo Chen frowned again and looked at the two blood stains on the ground with confusion. Logically speaking, after a living person was melted into blood, there should not be only such a small amount of blood stains!
Thinking of this, Luo Chen controlled his perception and went underground.
"Um?"
Luo Chen frowned in confusion as he looked at the floor covered with holes the size of pinholes and the small ditches under the floor.
He found that the melted blood seeped into the small ditch below through the small holes in the floor, and then flowed in one direction.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Damn it, all the good stuff inside must have been taken by someone!"
Just when Luo Chen was about to investigate, he suddenly heard several more warriors walking into the cave from behind.
After taking a look behind him, Luo Chen didn't wait any longer and continued walking forward. In order to avoid trouble, he didn't want to meet these people.
"What's this?"
"ah……"
Just after walking more than ten meters, Luo Chen heard an exclamation from behind. Immediately afterwards, a warrior was frightened: "Brother! Blood ants, these are blood ants, there are actually blood ants here! Let's get out of here quickly.
Bar?"
"Hmph! What are you afraid of? Isn't he dead? Don't you want Long Feiyu's treasure? Keep walking!" Another voice shouted coldly.
Listening to the conversation between several people, Luo Chen shook his head and secretly warned himself to continue moving forward.
Along the way, Luo Chen's brows furrowed more and more tightly, because the further inside he went, the more empty clothes he saw.
After walking for half an hour, Luo Chen suddenly stopped, squinting and staring at an empty piece of clothing on the ground in front of him. To be precise, it was a fist-sized bag bulging out from the chest of the clothing on the ground.
After letting go of his senses and not noticing anything strange around him, Luo Chen dodged and appeared next to the clothes in an instant. The thunder knife was unsheathed. After a flash of silver light, a hole opened in the chest of the clothes on the ground.
"grumble!"
A slight cry came out, and then, a stream of bright red blood gushes out from the opening of the clothes.
Luo Chen opened his clothes and saw a fist-sized blood ant lying on the ground in two parts. There was still blood on the wound. As soon as the blood flowed out, it passed through the floor and seeped into the small ditch below.
"Um?"
Just as he was looking at the blood ants on the ground, Luo Chen suddenly retreated and swung his knife across his head at the same time.
"Chi! Pa!"
There was another soft cry, and another blood ant split into two and fell to the ground.
Luo Chen was dripping with cold sweat as he looked at the blood ants on the ground, then hurriedly looked up at the roof of the cave.
He had clearly inspected the roof of the cave just now and found no blood ants, but how did this blood ant get to the top of his head? If he hadn't had the ability to perceive, if he hadn't been alert to his surroundings, I'm afraid he would have
It has become a piece of clothing on the ground.
After looking carefully for a while, Luo Chen squinted and looked at a small black hole on the top of the cave. If he had guessed correctly, the blood ant should be hidden in this small hole, and the black stone blocked Luo Chen's perception.
The force prevented Luo Chen from exploring inside.
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Luo Chen secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, the attack power of the blood ants is not strong. As long as they are not bitten, it is still easy to kill. Of course, the premise is that there are not many of them. If it is a group
If so, he would have no choice but to run away.
"Junior brother! Be careful!"
"Ah...senior brother! There are blood ants!"
"There is one here too! Ah..."
Just when Luo Chen was secretly rejoicing, several shouts suddenly came from behind, and then, after a while, it became quiet again.
Luo Chen's face turned gloomy when he heard the commotion behind him. He had just come from there and had checked all the way and found no blood ants.
He looked up at the small hole on the top of the cave again. Luo Chen thought that he must be like this blood ant, hiding in the small hole on the mountain wall.
Not daring to linger any longer, Luo Chen gathered his energy and cautiously moved forward.
An hour later, Luo Chen swung his knife to kill a blood ant queen that emerged from the stone wall, and suddenly heard someone's voice coming from the front.
After listening attentively for a while, Luo Chen sheathed his sword and walked quickly forward. The further he walked, the more voices came from him and became more and more mixed.
After walking for about fifty meters, Luo Chen finally walked out of the cave and came to a cave that was brightly illuminated by torches.
This is a huge cave, nearly twenty feet high, and the space inside can accommodate three to four thousand people.
At this time, nearly a thousand warriors carrying various weapons were standing in the cave, and some were tapping on the stone walls of the cave.
