"Fire Ant."

The three people and six paths looked directly at the large group of fire ants below, with the shock in their eyes unspeakable. Tens of thousands of fire ants, and each one was as thick as a human forearm. Such a large group of spirit beasts was moving together, how spectacular the scene was.

Moreover, it is not difficult to imagine that the hot temperature emitted by the fire ant colony is that if hundreds of thousands of troops encounter such a large group of fire ants, they may be swept away in a few breaths.

"It's not normal for such a large group of fire ants." Xu Jie'er looked at the rapid advance of the fire ants in the desert and asked herself.

Mo Ran nodded and agreed: "That's right, the largest one in front of the head is two or three times larger than other fire ants. That must be a worker ants. The worker ants are the leader, with four in total. There are so many fire ants out of the hole, and I'm afraid they have smelled something."

Xu Jie'er and Heidian listened and nodded constantly.

"Let's go down and take a look." After thinking about it, Mo Ran still planned to go down and see this rare wonder in a century. Anyway, it's still a long time before the eighth day of the second lunar month, so there is no rush for a moment.

Seeing Mo Ran’s whereabouts, Xu Jie'er and Heidian followed them with great curiosity.

The three of them flew, lowering the height while slowly advancing with the vast fire ant colony. Soon, the fire ant colony suddenly stopped, and not far ahead of them, there were a large gathering place for sand dunes.

The three of them looked up and saw that behind the dunes, a rare ruin of old castle that was so dilapidated that there were few remaining appeared in the eyes of the three. The ruins that had been eroded by wind and sand seemed so desolate in the vast desert.

Suddenly, several figures flashed strangely among the ruins of the old castle, as if they were very cautious and careful, hiding behind several broken walls, always poking their heads slightly and looking vigilantly at the huge fire ant colony in the distance.

Floating in the sky, Mo Ran Dingqing looked at the figures hidden behind the sand dunes and found that the costumes of these people were extremely strange.

These people are both men and women, but no matter whether they are men or women, they are covered with some worn strips of cloth. Almost most of their bronze skin is exposed outside. Women are better, and some key parts are covered by rag strips or blocked inside. However, except for the part below the waist, the other parts of the men are covered with cloth strips. The only common point is that the heads of several people are wrapped in cloth strips, revealing only their two eyes.

"Who are these people?" In Mo Ran's memory, no one seemed to dress like this. When he asked Xu Jie, who knew nothing about it, the latter shook his head in a daze. Thinking that even Xu Jieer did not recognize what race these people were.

Xu Jie'er stared at the figures tightly. After a while, she looked surprised. At this time, Heidian spoke first: "Master, look."

Following the direction of the black electric finger, Mo Ran turned his gaze to the figures again. At first he didn't find anything wrong, but after a closer look, he found that there was an object similar to a necklace hanging around each of the people's necks.

The necklace is not unusual. What is strange is that the pendant is all uniform blue crystals. These crystals are big and small, and are strangely shaped. They look like crystals, but after Mo Ran felt it carefully, he found that the crystals actually emit a faint cold air.

"What is that?" Mo Ran said in surprise.

"Is it..." Xu Jie'er murmured for a while and then disappeared. After a long time, the former guessed: "The cold air emitted by this crystal is not like the coldness of ice and water. What is it?"

After thinking for a long time, Xu Jie'er didn't expect the reason, she just felt that she had seen this thing.

Seeing that Xu Jie'er couldn't say it, Mo Ran waved his hand and interrupted, "Look, the target of the ant colony should be these people, but it's very strange. Such a big formation is for these people?"

Xu Jie'er and Heidian nodded subconsciously, and then turned their eyes down.

Behind the dunes, among the figures, a strange man with a medium figure suddenly waved his hand and summoned the rest of the people. It seemed that he looked like the leader of these people.

After the few people gathered together, the convener made an old and hoarse voice, saying, "We have been discovered, Yat, you will find a way to take them away later. I will block the fire ant colony. Now give me all the "cold flame crystals"."

"Uncle Pilu, how can this work? That's a big fire ant colony led by four worker ants. You can't escape like this." A voice a little younger in one year said anxiously.

The man who was called Uncle Pilu stared at his eyes and said to the young man with great reproach: "Yat, I am the leader of the team this time. You should listen to me. Soon, there is no time. Don't forget that the tribe members still need water. You still have a mission."

Upon hearing this, Yat stubbornly patted the soft sand layer and shouted: "No. The Fire Soul Clan has no soldiers who are afraid of life and death, nor does it have cowards who abandon their comrades."

When the rest of the people heard Yat's heroic words, they all pulled out the scimitar on their waists indignantly, looking as if they were ready to die.

"Idiot." Pilu was angry and cursed: "Where did so much nonsense come from! You don't think about it. We are all dead and the children and the elderly in the clan have no water. What should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Yat put down the knife in his hand angrily, and it was neither right to leave nor stay. He struggled and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Pilu urged again: "Yat, you must put your tribe first. We have been underground for many years. This is a good opportunity. If the tribe can return to my hometown, what does it matter if I die?"

Hearing Pilu's consolation, Yat finally couldn't bear to shed two lines of tears. Then, he waved his knife and shouted to the rest: "Go."

Although he said that, Yat did not move, but instead looked at Pilu reluctantly, and the others did not leave. The crowd stopped there for a while.

"What are you doing? Why don't you leave quickly?" Seeing that Yat and others did not leave, Pilu couldn't help but feel anxious.

Gripping his teeth, Yat shook his head and walked towards the other end of the old castle ruins. However, when he had just taken a big step, suddenly, a few meters ahead, wild sand gushed from the ground. At that time, more than a dozen fire ants suddenly blocked Yat and others' way.

The ant mouth, which was as big as a bowl, suddenly opened and squirted at Yat and others.

"call"

A ball of hot flame spurted out from the mouths of dozens of fire ants, wrapping several people tightly together like a flamethrower.

Boom ~

Mo Ran and the other two were watching this scene in the air and were shocked when they saw this scene. However, the three of them expected that the ending of Yate and others being burned into ashes did not happen. After a roar, Pilu appeared in front of everyone.

The same flames were fire, but from Pilu's palm, it was much hotter and more powerful than the flames emitted by the fire ants. The two flames were intertwined, but in a blink of an eye, Pilu's flame turned into a fire snake, swallowing all the fire of the fire ants. Not only that, the fire snake that had grown a circle swept out and instantly burned the dozens of fire ants in front of them to ashes.

However, just as Pilu shouted and asked Yat and others to escape, fire ants appeared again in front of the few people, but this time there were as many as hundreds.

"I can't leave."
