Chapter 169 - 169: Continue _2
Everyone was well aware of this. Even number Seven’s lips curved upwards. Number two couldn’t reignite the fire, which proved that his ability was of little value.
Either his level was low and his skills were limited, so there were many things that he could not draw even if he wanted to.
Either his paintbrush was not omnipotent, and the things it could draw were limited.
This result proved that No. 2’s threat level was much lower than the others. If they were to encounter any danger, everyone would probably take the initiative to attack him.
Number two’s eyes were filled with viciousness. A murderous intent flashed across number Seven’s eyes, but he did not answer her question.
Hearing that, number four rummaged through his backpack and was lucky enough to find a few practical survival tools in a sealed plastic bag. Other than flashlights, military knives, and other things, there were even several bottles of fuel, lighters, matches, and other things in it.
Because it was wrapped in a sealed plastic bag, the things inside were not wet when they fell into the sea.
Number four happily took out a lighter and lit the torch. The few of them approached the place where number six had been buried. The closer they got, the lighter their footsteps became.
The rustling sound had stopped, and the foul smell from before had faded a lot, perhaps because the rotten crocodile organs had been mostly devoured by the man-eating white ants.
The closer they got to the place where the man-eating ants were found, the more serious everyone’s expressions became. Song Qing’s small eyes flashed with vigilance, and he instinctively stayed far away from the other participants.
The other people’s reactions were roughly the same. Perhaps because of the special nature of number three’s ability, he seemed to be much calmer. He even reached out to push aside the grass that was higher than his waist, and the bodies of number six and the others appeared in front of everyone.
It was no longer accurate to Call number six and the others ‘corpses’.
Since they did not have hard scales like crocodiles, when the group of white ants caught the crocodiles, they must have given up on invading through the outer shell and chose to attack from the inner organs. So when a group of people found the dead crocodile’s body, from the outside, the crocodiles did not seem to have any major wounds.
In just 20 minutes after the group had retreated, the bones and flesh of number six and the others had been gnawed away, leaving only skeletons on the ground.
These white skeletons were covered with ants. At a glance, it seemed that the skeletons of number six and the others were much wider than their bodies when they were alive.
The ants would occasionally wriggle, and many of the ants at the outermost layer would fall off. It was a sight that made one’s hair stand on end and goosebumps rise.
Some of the flies that liked rotten meat were still unwilling to give up, still landing on the various parts of the crocodile’s broken leather armor.
When the others saw what number four did, they also found fuel from their bags. After removing the stopper, they threw the fuel in the direction of number six and the others ‘bodies.
When the first bottle was thrown, it hit a skeleton with a ‘bang’, and the liquid inside spilled out. The ants nearby were attacked by this unexpected attack and began to squirm again.
Some of the flies that had stopped feasting on the crocodile’s corpse were frightened. They flapped their wings and flew up. They were still circling nearby, unwilling to give up on the delicious food in their mouths.
Seeing this, everyone’s hearts were in their throats. They did not dare to delay and threw out the fuel in their hands one by one. The fuel splashed everywhere. The few of them started to retreat. After walking a few meters away, number two picked up the torch in his hand and threw it at the bones!
As soon as the flame came into contact with the oil, it burst into flames with a boom. In an instant, the flames grew bigger and bigger, and the ants inside were burning until they squeaked.
However, because these ants were not ordinary, they were extremely large and there were many of them. Under the layers of trampling of the large number of white ants, many of the burning ants were surrounded by a large number of ants. The fire had only just started, but it was already showing signs of gradually extinguishing.
When everyone saw that the situation wasn’t quite right, they didn’t dare to stop and ran in the direction of Mr. Zhou and the others.
However, the fuel that ATr. Zhou had prepared was not ordinary fuel. After a few seconds, there were a few small explosions. It sounded like the pot that had been used to hold the oil had exploded. The fire that had been suppressed by the ants rose even higher, and the flies that had not been able to escape in time were also caught in the flames..
