Chapter 1073: Chapter 1072: The Terror of Miao Qiaomei
"Hei!"
Seeing the black snake chopped into several pieces by Lin Fan’s sword, Miao Qiaomei let out a roar, her beautiful eyes turning blood red, her face becoming even more ferocious!
Lin Fan’s expression remained unchanged, still immensely grim, and he said to Miao Qiaomei, "Bring out the antidote, and I can pretend nothing happened!"
"Impossible!"
Miao Qiaomei yelled, putting a flute to her lips, and immediately started to play it!
Toot toot toot!
The sound of the flute rang out, even more piercing than before!
Rustle rustle rustle!
Soon, Lin Fan heard a strange noise coming from the woods, making one’s heart shiver!
"Boss, look, what the hell is that!"
Nie Lei shouted, pointing in one direction!
Lin Fan also looked over and saw small black dots in the distance, and these black dots turned out to be ants!
However, these ants were not ordinary ants, they were large, the size of a fist!
At the same time, Miao Qiaomei took a jar from her body, opened it, and an ant crawled out from it!
The ants appearing in the woods paused at the sight of this ant, like soldiers before a commander, showing respect!
"Hiss hiss!"
The ant in the lead made a strange noise, as if a general was issuing an attack order!
Following it, the group of ants behind it started making noises as well, like the battle cry of soldiers, quickly charging toward Lin Fan and his group, in a dense swarm of over a hundred ants!
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan’s expression tightened!
"Boss, what the hell are these things!" Nie Lei shouted.
Lin Fan said heavily, "These are Marching Ants, one of the most terrifying types of ants. They appear in swarms, and if you are unfortunate enough to be surrounded by them, they can devour a person in the blink of an eye, leaving only the bones."
"Damn! There are such monsters in this world!" Nie Lei couldn’t help but curse.
"Boss, what should we do now!" Nalan Qiankun asked.
Lin Fan did not rush to reply but fell into deep thought. He had only heard of Marching Ants, never seen them.
"Everyone be careful, do not get bitten by them. They are poisonous, and a bite will paralyze you and make you immobile!" Lin Fan warned loudly.
"Understood!"
Nie Lei, Nalan Qiankun, and Shunzi all nodded!
Soon, the swarms of ants were already in front of Lin Fan and the others, making "hiss hiss hiss" sounds, which sent chills down the four’s spines.
As the ants got closer, Lin Fan could clearly see the pair of fangs in their mouths, like sharp scissors, constantly opening and closing!
"Attack!"
Lin Fan immediately shouted, swiftly swinging his Soft Sword without a word!
As long as the Marching Ants got close, Lin Fan’s Soft Sword would mercilessly pierce through their bodies. Although there were many ants, Lin Fan’s sword-swinging speed was very fast. In a short exchange, more than a dozen Marching Ants were pierced through by Lin Fan!
Nalan Qiankun and Shunzi also took out their weapons, while Nie Lei gripped his gun, constantly pulling the trigger, bullets penetrating the ants’ bodies, leaving bullet holes on the ground!
Although Lin Fan and the others were strong, there were simply too many Marching Ants, over a hundred.
Gradually, the ants formed a encircling formation, getting closer and closer to Lin Fan and the others!
"Boss, there are too many of these monsters, they’ve already surrounded us, and I’m almost out of bullets, what do we do?" Nie Lei asked.
Lin Fan’s face grew more solemn and he shouted, "Does anyone know what ants fear the most?"
Nalan Qiankun asked, "Boss, when I was young, there were many ants around where I lived, my sister and I used to burn them with flames, I wonder if it works on these Marching Ants!"
"Try it first!" Lin Fan shouted, "Everyone take off your jackets, and set them on fire!"
"Understood!"
The four of them didn’t dare hesitate, taking off their jackets and immediately lighting them with lighters!
Since the clothes had oil, they burned for a long time, releasing thick, black smoke!
The four burning jackets were placed in front of Lin Fan and the others in the four cardinal directions, with billowing black smoke rising continuously!
When the Marching Ants got close, upon seeing the fire and smoke, they suddenly stopped, pausing for a full three seconds before turning tail and running away!
"Flames do work on these monsters, that’s great, damn it, scared me to death!" Nie Lei exclaimed!
Lin Fan dared not be careless, watching as the Marching Ants dwindled, knowing they had completely disappeared, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief!
Lin Fan looked up at Miao Qiaomei and asked, "Do you have any other tricks?"
"Don’t think this will scare this princess!"
Miao Qiaomei coldly shouted, putting the flute to her lips again, and played continuously with a strange mournful sound!
At first, Lin Fan and the others didn’t feel anything unusual, their eyes vigilant of their surroundings, worried more monsters would appear!
But soon, Lin Fan felt the flute sound growing louder in his mind, his head was getting dizzy, as if something was issuing commands to him, making him do something against his will!
Gradually, Lin Fan felt as if he was losing control over his body!
"The flute can confuse your mind, everyone be careful!" Lin Fan shouted urgently.
Swish~
Suddenly, there was a sound of wind behind Lin Fan.
Luckily, Lin Fan had been alert, dodging aside swiftly to avoid the fatal strike!
That cold wind turned out to be an icy Long Sword, and the one who attacked was none other than Nalan Qiankun!
Nalan Qiankun, seeing this scene, was also baffled, his face full of shock, "Boss, I... I feel like I can’t control my body, what... what’s going on?"
"It’s all the effect of the flute sound, everyone stay calm, if it doesn’t stop, bite your own fingers!"
While speaking, Lin Fan immediately bit a bloody wound on his finger!
Pain from the fingers, directly connected to the heart, could stimulate the brain, lessening the confusion!
"Everyone stay calm, stand still!"
Lin Fan shouted, clutching his Soft Sword, stepping laboriously toward Miao Qiaomei!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Lin Fan’s footsteps hit the ground heavily, taking just one step per second, a snail’s pace for him!
Seeing Lin Fan approach, Miao Qiaomei was also shocked and quickly retreated!
"Ah!"
At that moment, Lin Fan suddenly let out a roar!
