Dragon's Origin

Chapter 64: The Terrifying Thousand Severed Lands 3

The sight of these rampaging demon beasts caused the faces of both the dozen or so people in front and the experts behind to pale.

Raging Tigers, Shadow Leopards, Gale Foxes, Savage Giant Pythons... even the weakest of them, the five-star Raging Tiger, though looking young, was definitely at the peak of the Fourth Realm.

Any one of these demon beasts could easily wipe out the strongest three Fifth Realm experts among the trackers in a one-on-one fight. Not to mention that there were dozens of these demon beasts charging out, and at such high speed, they could probably break through any army in front of them.

The faces of the dozen or so people at the front turned green. With so many crazy demon beasts charging over, that barbarian Wang Sheng actually just climbed a tree. How stupid could you be to make such a brain-dead move? Did he really think he could avoid the attacks of these demon beasts by climbing a tree?

But it was too late to complain about Wang Sheng. The demon beasts were only a few dozen meters away from crashing into them, and the group was in a flurry of panic, dodging to the sides. Many people cleverly hid behind large trees. At least with a large tree in front of them, they could somewhat hide their figures and withstand a single impact, right?

Bang bang bang, several experts who didn't have time to dodge were directly hit by the demon beasts. Facing the smallest demon beast, which was still five meters long and weighed two or three tons, the small human weight of a hundred or so pounds was simply not worth mentioning. They were sent flying in one encounter.

Five people were killed on the spot, and two were not knocked away but were directly trampled underfoot. A certain unlucky guy even had a Shadow Leopard jump directly onto his head, and the enormous force directly pressed his head into his chest cavity.

The rest were considered lucky, not dead, but they had broken countless bones from the impact, flying high and falling heavily, and they couldn't move anymore.

Only five or six clever people who saw the situation was bad and had large trees nearby to hide behind escaped this calamity. Those demon beasts turned a blind eye to these normally delicious “meals,” not even glancing at them, only caring about rushing forward with their heads down.

Those who survived in the front, whether injured or not, all breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, these demon beasts ignored them, otherwise, they would have died without a burial place.

The experts behind were already prepared and avoided the path of the demon beasts' charge. Those who couldn't dodge in time, seeing that their companions in front could survive as long as they hid behind the trees, also followed suit.

At this time, no one laughed at Wang Sheng for climbing the tree anymore. It seemed that his was the correct way to deal with it. Weren't they all relying on hiding behind the trees to avoid the demon beasts' impact? But there was no need to climb the tree, right?

Smart people immediately thought of something. Why did Wang Sheng climb the tree? Hiding behind the tree could avoid it, why climb the tree and bother so much to do something on the tree trunk?

Not good! Someone immediately reacted. Why were those demon beasts charging at them so desperately? That was not a charge at all, but an escape. No demon beast looked at them, nonsense, who would care about others when escaping for their lives?

What could make so many ferocious demon beasts run away? Before everyone could figure it out, the sound of rushing water became clearer and clearer, as if it was right next to them.

Wang Sheng had already prepared everything on the tree, waiting for the moment of crisis to arrive. Seeing so many demon beasts fleeing frantically, Wang Sheng understood that the main thing was coming.

Lowering his head, Wang Sheng opened his eyes wide and looked at the ground. At this time, Wang Sheng's vision, which had been strengthened twice, played an important role.

The light in the forest was inevitably a little dim, but Wang Sheng could still see clearly.

From the direction of the sound of the water, a black and red tide was “flowing” over. It was really like a tide, and wherever it passed, whether it was the ground, rocks, or tree trunks, it was all submerged by the tide and dyed that terrifying black and red color.

"As expected!" Wang Sheng looked at the black and red "tide" and let out a low murmur as expected.

Wang Sheng had seen such a scene on Earth. Once, when he was on a mission in the Amazon rainforest, he saw a similar scene. However, the scene on Earth was simply child's play compared to the one in front of him.

Amazon army ants, also known as legion ants, have a population of one to two million. They often sweep through the jungle in a mighty manner, forming a marching legion fifteen to twenty meters wide. Wherever they pass, almost all living things except some plants will be torn to pieces.

Wang Sheng personally saw a monkey fall into the ant colony that year, and it turned into a pile of bones in less than two minutes. When army ants march, there is a sound like flowing water, which is no different from the sound in front of them.

However, the ant colony under the tree is obviously more than one or two million, and the distribution range is not fifteen to twenty meters wide. At least Wang Sheng can't see the edge of the ant colony from left to right, and he can't see the tail of the ant colony.

I don't know what these black and red ants are called in this world, but they are obviously much more terrifying than those on Earth. An ant looks three centimeters long, several times larger than the ones on Earth. The huge mandibles are one centimeter long, and they are obviously killers.

In the blink of an eye, the black and red tide flowed past the tree where Wang Sheng was hiding. At this time, Wang Sheng didn't say a word and directly lit the circle of oil-coated burlap strips. The raging flames burned instantly.

As soon as the flames rose, the tree trunk below the burlap strip was covered in black and red, and countless ants climbed up the tree trunk, but were blocked by the burning burlap strip and stopped moving forward.

A few foolhardy ants tried a few times and rushed into the fire, and their entire bodies were ignited and fell under the tree. After this, no more ants rushed into the flames.

Wang Sheng endured the smoke and heat of the burlap oil flames, carefully preparing the next circle. Peeling off part of the bark above, the wood contained enough water, and this circle of burlap would not ignite the tree itself. Although the burning below was uncomfortable, it was better than falling into a pile of ants.

"It's the man-eating ants!" A terrifying scream of despair had already come from the direction Wang Sheng came from, mixed with several sharp screams, making people shudder.

The few poor guys who had been unable to move after being hit by the fleeing demon beasts were instantly submerged by the ant colony. The huge ants frantically tore meat from their bodies, and the feeling was simply like being skinned alive.

Several black and red human-shaped bulges rose from the ground, and collapsed in less than ten seconds. The screams only lasted two or three times before disappearing. The ant colony continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, and only occasionally a few white bones would be exposed in the black and red tide, looking still very fresh.

From the moment someone called out man-eating ants, the pursuers behind no longer had organization or teams. Everyone, whether it was Tang Ao and the others in the Fifth Realm, or the followers who were not as good as them, all scattered and fled for their lives.
