Chapter 133: Running for Life
Ye Lingwen also used a flying knife to break several small trees with arms thickness nearby. Seeing her whole body twisting like a Latin dance, she probably was bitten lightly. She then lit the cut-off trees and threw them into the ant colony. There was a crackling sound, and then a smell of barbecue spread. The ant colony also retreated slightly, which bought us some time.
When we were busy packing our backpacks, the arc-shaped defense line made of ashes was no longer effective. Groups of red ants rushed towards us like a flood that broke the dike. Ye Lingwen and Ye Guangci shouted from time to time. I knew that they were bitten by the red ants. I was also covered in bruises and bleeding everywhere.
The three of us rushed forward and frantically ran forward. Fortunately, the ant colony was not as fast as ours. After about 10 minutes, we ran for about 10 minutes. Except for the occasional one or two red ants, we could no longer see the ant colony around us. Just when we breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the ant colony behind had been thrown away by us, Ye Lingwen pointed to the front and shouted, "What is that?"
I looked in the direction of her finger and saw a group of fireflies in the sky, which were twenty or thirty meters ahead, three or four meters high from the ground, emitting a faint red light in the dim woods, flying up and down, slowly moving towards us.
"How come there are fireflies this season!" I was puzzled. Fireflies usually appear in midsummer, but it's autumn, so many fireflies? Moreover, these fireflies emit a faint red light, which is not the yellow-green fluorescence common to ordinary fireflies.
"Run, run quickly, that's a flying red ants." Ye Guangci suddenly shouted to us.
I'll go to his second uncle! It's over! The red ants can't run away from us, and we can't run away from these flying ants!
Ye Lingwen and I didn't think too much about it, so we followed him and ran forward, but the speed of these flying ants was much faster than that of the red ants crawling on the ground, and we were catching up closer and closer behind us.
As I ran, I suddenly felt a stinging pain in the back of my right hand. When I looked down, I saw a dark red ant, as big as a bumblebee, with two pairs of transparent wings on my back, biting on the back of my hand like a mosquito to suck blood. The red light from my butt flickered, and as it continued to suck blood, it slowly turned into blue light.
I then raised my left hand and slapped it on the back of my right hand, slapped the flying ant like a mosquito.
Go, you are so fucking good at sucking blood, and you are playing with colorful neon lights with me! I am so distressed! At this time, Ye Lingwen and Ye Guangci shouted from time to time, and it seemed that they were also caught up by flying ants.
"This is not a solution. If a large group of flying ants catch up, we will definitely be sucked into mummies," Ye Lingwen said while running.
"Take off the backpack! Throw off the backpack!" I shouted loudly at Ye Lingwen and Ye Guangci in front.
Although we are still physically energetic so far, and a backpack of more than 20 pounds is nothing to us, at this critical moment, I think it is more important to escape.
Ye Guangci and I both threw away our backpacks, and they felt a little more relaxed and faster. In this way, these flying ants were chasing behind us. We ran wildly in the mountains like headless flies and didn't dare to stop for a moment. Half an hour passed, and these flying ants never gave up. I was bitten several times by these flying ants. I guess they were not much better.
