The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2778 Red Cloud
With a "swish", Ouyang Min swung his knife to cut off the vines that were blocking his way. When he was about to move forward, he pulled the vines with his hand and brought out a skeleton, which scared him.

If this skeleton was a human, he would not be scared, but this skeleton was a python skeleton that was more than 20 meters long and as thick as a bucket. The entire skeleton was mixed with vines, and the pulling brought out the skeleton of the python.

This not only frightened Ouyang Min and the people behind him, but also shocked the warriors passing by.

After all, such a large python is really rare.

However, what they didn't expect was that the python bones were just an appetizer. As they continued to move forward, they saw the bones of various animals, especially some bones that they couldn't name. They were wrapped in vines. Only when they cut the vines while clearing the way did the bones appear.

After seeing so many bones, it was just like that, but the atmosphere in the team became more and more tense. This was because there were a lot of bones, but everyone found that there were fine bite marks on these bones, which meant that these bones were eaten by the same animal, or creature.

So far, they have seen the bones of cattle, horses, tigers, bears and other animals, and even some special bones, such as pythons, human bones, etc. Everything points to a creature.

But up to now, they have not found this creature. Could it be that this creature is no longer there? Or is it that this creature is entrenched somewhere in the Great Rift Valley and has not had time to come here yet?

Qian Ying thought of this and asked Qian Wantong to notify all the clan leaders and tell them: "Everyone speed up, we need to reach the other side of the Great Rift Valley as soon as possible."

The leaders of other families conveyed the information to each warrior.

However, it was really difficult to walk through this forest. The trees and vines were entangled and tangled, and every step forward was very strenuous.

Ouyang Min, who was chopping in front, had been replaced by another warrior from the Ouyang family. Each warrior from the Ouyang family began to take turns to clear the way, using all their strength to clear the vines and create a path forward.

However, due to the large number of trees, the road ahead is not a straight road, but a winding one that bypasses various trees.

Moreover, in this forest, the trees were so dense that they completely blocked the sky, so there was no way to grasp the exact direction. They could only rely on rough estimates to determine the direction of advance. This once again brought difficulties to the team's progress.

So before entering the Great Rift Valley, looking up, the width of the entire Great Rift Valley was only about ten kilometers. However, when they were in it, they realized how difficult it was to move forward. Even for them, the warriors, it was very difficult to determine the direction.

If the three innate masters could fly, it would be easy, and they would be able to determine the direction of the team. But now the three innate masters were unable to fly, and could only follow the team.

When the Ouyang family was moving forward, they lost their sense of direction after going a certain distance. They could only rely on the people behind them and their experience to estimate whether they were keeping the correct direction.

But unfortunately, the longer the road ahead, the more difficult it is to be sure of the correct direction.

After walking for nearly two hours, it seemed that there was still dense jungle and vines in front of them, and everyone was surrounded by green vegetation. Of course, from time to time, they could come across some white bones in this sea of ​​plants, which was a white seasoning in the green.

When Ouyang Nan came to Qian Ying for help, he didn't have a better solution, so he could only clearly inform them that the three of them, innate masters, currently had no way to fly into the air. If they wanted to determine whether the direction was correct, they could only ask people to climb up the trees to see if they could determine the direction.

So, a warrior from the Ouyang family found a relatively thick tree, climbed to the highest point in a few steps, and confirmed the direction.

Sure enough, after climbing to a higher place and confirming the situation, they told the people below that they had lost their way in the jungle. Originally, they thought the team was moving in a straight line, from one side of the Great Rift Valley to the other side, but now the direction of the entire team has deviated a lot, as if they were walking in a big parabola. If they hadn't observed, they might have returned to the side of the Great Rift Valley where they started.

Everyone was speechless after hearing the news.

In addition, they had been marching forward for more than two hours, but had not yet reached half the distance to the Great Rift Valley, which made everyone a little nervous.

What the hell, is there something weird here that’s stopping us from moving forward?

After hearing this, Qian Ying had no choice but to arrange for people to climb up tall trees continuously to confirm the direction, so that the team could keep the same direction.

Continuing forward, the Ouyang family took turns chopping the vines, while the family behind them took turns climbing the trees to confirm the direction.

Fortunately, although the trees are lush, they are of different heights. Therefore, as long as you choose some thick and tall trees, you can break away from the cover of the trees, see clearly the other side of the Great Rift Valley, and determine the direction.

Although this is a bit troublesome, it is the simplest and most effective method.

Without the trouble of direction, the only obstacles were the vines and trees. After chopping away the vines that blocked the way, everyone quickened their pace and gradually approached the other side. "Haha, we're almost there, almost there, only a few hundred meters to go, and we'll be on the other side!" A warrior from the Ma family shouted loudly, standing high in the trees.

The warriors below also became happy and unconsciously quickened their pace, wanting to leave this somewhat depressing grove.

But at this moment, there was a creaking sound in the distance. Although the sound was very small, it was very clear in this forest. Because in this forest, it seemed that there was no other sound except the sound of the wind, and the warrior team broke this silence and there was a different sound.

But at this moment, a different sound was heard, so everyone could hear it clearly.

Qian Ying immediately said: "Everyone, speed up and don't stop."

This sound seemed to indicate that something bad was about to happen, so Qian Ying shouted.

After hearing this, all the warriors wanted to speed up. However, there was only one warrior leading the way, so it was impossible to speed up!
Qian Ying immediately asked Zhou Zixing and Ma Sanxing to step forward and replace the Ouyang family's path-clearing personnel, taking turns to lead the way.

"Don't waste time and don't save energy. Come as quickly as possible! Listen, the sound is getting closer and closer, and it seems to be coming towards us." Qian Ying said.

Zhou Zixing and Ma Sanxing nodded, and immediately stepped forward to clear the way. They swung their daggers as fast as a windmill, and added their own innate power to the innate daggers to speed up the chopping.

With the innate warriors paving the way, the speed of the entire team was increased and everyone quickened their pace.

Of course, you still have to climb the tree, otherwise it will be difficult to determine the direction.

Every time you walk a certain distance, you need to climb up a tree and confirm the direction.

However, as the sound of squeaks got closer, a warrior who was observing the direction in a tree turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a black area covering the treetops and approaching them rapidly.

"Oh no! Something is approaching this side very quickly. It's almost less than 200 meters away." The warrior shouted loudly and quickly climbed down from the tree.

"Did you see what it was?" Qian Ying asked.

The warrior shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, it's just a large area of ​​red, it seems to be animals, but because it's more than 200 meters away, I can't see it clearly."

At a distance of 100 meters, an object the size of a wheel can become as small as a button. If the distance is doubled, even a warrior's eyes will not be able to see it clearly. Especially when the animal is very small, it is even more difficult to see.

Qian Ying urged all the warriors to speed up while quickly climbing up a tree. He looked over and saw something like a red cloud rushing towards them. But even if he wanted to see it clearly, it was a bit difficult.

All one could see were red clouds rising and falling, densely surging towards this side. The red clouds above the treetops were like waves, surging in, and their width and length were astonishing, covering probably more than half of the Great Rift Valley, reaching a width of several kilometers, and their length was estimated to be several kilometers as well.

When he didn't know what was coming, he could only avoid it temporarily.

After coming down, I followed the team and moved quickly towards one side of the Great Rift Valley.

Just as they continued to move forward for a distance, the attacking red cloud approached the warriors, and Qian Ying saw what the red cloud was.

The red cloud is made up of blood-red ants as big as a child's fist. Each ant has a pair of wings. Although they cannot fly, they can glide quickly between the trees. Their rapid alternating movements also increase the speed of these ants.

In addition, the ants have a pair of sharp pincer-like mandibles on their mouthparts that keep trembling, as if they are shaking with joy as if they are about to eat something delicious.

The number of ants was overwhelming. It was not like what I had seen from the treetops, where it was just like a red cloud surging over the green treetops. Instead, it was densely packed like a sea of ​​ants, surging like a tide from top to bottom. Not only on the ground, on the trees, but also on the treetops and vines, as long as I glanced over, I could see dense ants.

Especially since these ants can catapult and glide like bullets, and when landing, they can firmly grasp any object and stabilize their bodies. It is clear that these blood-red ants are definitely not to be trifled with.

The smacking sound is the sound made by ants when they pass through trees and vines.
