Chapter 98 A pile of bones, it really wasn’t intentional!
"Ah?" Ding Yumian suddenly came to his senses and said quickly: "I'm not sick. Maybe it's too hot next to the campfire."
Huo Yumeng nodded, looking like "that's it".
soon!
Song Jie and Mu Lei came back from outside and sat next to Ding Yumian.
"Are you feeling better?" Song Jie turned around and asked.
"Hmm..." Ding Yumian responded. Thinking of what happened to Song Jie before, her answer was not very natural.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Ding Yumian shook his head and ate the food in his hand.
Song Jie was confused, but now was not the time to pursue these matters.
"Mu Lei and I took a look around just now, and there were demon bones around!" Song Jie said as he scanned the crowd.
When they were on their way, Mu Lei explained the situation clearly to Bai Liang and others.
Therefore, they all know about bloodthirsty ants.
"What should we do? Traveling at night is much more dangerous than during the day." Dongfang Ming said with a frown.
"Let's rest tonight. Just have a few more people keep watch." Song Jie said.
After all, they had been traveling all day during the day. If they continued walking, they might be exhausted if they didn't encounter the demon by then.
"The next three groups will take turns to keep vigil, each group for three hours, until tomorrow morning." Song Jie said.
In this way, everyone can have enough rest time.
"I agree!"
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
soon!
They didn't talk much, but chose to rest or practice.
Anyway, practicing can also replenish energy and sleep, so it’s the same.
Song Jie sat cross-legged on the ground, and then started practicing to see if there was any chance to take a step closer to the high-level light system!
…
Early the next morning, they left here and headed towards the next detection point.
During this period, they did not encounter the Bones again, and they felt relieved.
"How long does it take from here to the next detection point?" Mu Lei looked at Ding Yumian and asked.
Ding Yumian replied: "It will take about five days."
"Five days!" Mu Lei looked at the sun above his head. The heat was one thing, but he was even more worried about encountering bloodthirsty ants!
After the previous incident, it left him with a psychological shadow.
"Keep on going and try to get there in five days!" Song Jie encouraged everyone.
…
In the blink of an eye, five days flew by.
Song Jie and others also came to the detection location.
However, one of their detection instruments is broken, so they only have one at the moment.
"Half of us will rest, and the other half will go for detection. We will take turns," Song Jie said.
Immediately afterwards, they consciously divided into two teams, and then took turns to detect.
Bai Liang, Dongfang Ming and others went to detect first, while Song Jie and others stayed where they were to rest.
Ding Yumian said: "You haven't had a good rest these past few days. Take a break before they come back."
Song Jie nodded.
His spirit has been tense these two days and he doesn't dare to be careless. This is his sense of responsibility as the captain!
"Call me if necessary." As soon as Song Jie finished speaking, he immediately immersed himself in taking a rest.
After seeing Song Jie sleeping with his head on his backpack, Ding Yumian stared at the map.
Mu Lei and Huo Yumeng were on guard to prevent demons from approaching them.
However, Song Jie had only slept for half an hour when he heard Xu Mingliang's exclamation.
"Oh no!"
Huo Yumeng and Mu Lei looked at Xu Mingliang's panicked expression and couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?"
"We found a lot of bones over there!" Xu Mingliang gasped.
Song Jie still closed his eyes, but he had already heard Xu Mingliang's words.
He sat up, slowly opened his eyes, and stretched his arms comfortably!
suddenly!
He seemed to have touched something soft!
Song Jie quickly turned around and realized that Ding Yumian was beside him!
Ding Yumian glanced at Song Jie, stood up immediately, and walked towards Huo Yumeng and others.
"Just now..." Song Jie wanted to say it wasn't intentional, but Ding Yumian quickened his pace.
"Song Jie, come here quickly, there's something wrong!" Seeing that Song Jie had woken up, Mu Lei quickly called him over.
Song Jie stood up and went over, and Xu Mingliang took them to the place where the bones were.
Bai Liang explained: "This is what we just discovered."
Song Jie nodded and looked at the large piece of white bones in front of him. It was obviously made by bloodthirsty ants!
"It seems that there are also those kinds of ants in this area!" Mu Lei was wary of his surroundings. He never wanted to be chased by those ants again.
Ding Yumian asked: "Do these demon bones look familiar to you?"
Everyone was confused, and then looked at the bones, which seemed to be a wolf type skeleton! !
"Yumian, do you want to say this is the group of wolf monsters we met that night?" Huo Yumeng expressed his doubts.
"Yes!" Ding Yumian nodded in response, because there were hundreds of demon bones here before, so demons must have gathered together in groups!
"Damn it, how many ants must there be for a monster that can eat so many wolf monsters?" Zhuge Ru exclaimed, with a look of horror in his eyes.
If the hundreds of demons here attack them, it will be enough for them to drink a pot.
Everyone was a little panicked at this time and already wanted to leave here.
"Song Jie, shall we leave now?" Mu Lei looked at Song Jie and asked.
Those resources are no longer important to them!
Looking at so many bones, how can they still think about detecting them!
Song Jie nodded, looking at the white bones he felt very attractive!
However, they didn't know what kind of monster this was. It was so powerful and specialized in feeding on flesh and blood!
Song Jie and others turned around and left, while Ding Yumian was looking for a way back.
They have to take what happened here back, after all, this is not far from the mining site!
If these demons spread there by then, the consequences can be imagined!
At the same time, they did not know the scale of this demon, so they still needed to ask the military to send people over to investigate.
"We have deviated from the route back, and the nearest route will take eight days!" Ding Yumian said.
This is the shortest route she calculated. Others may take half a month.
"The nearest one is good!" Mu Lei said quickly, of course he should go back as soon as possible.
…
At night, everyone followed the previous pattern and took turns keeping vigil.
Mu Lei said thankfully: "Fortunately, we didn't see any bones wherever we passed."
Apart from the piece of white bones, they didn't encounter anything else during this period.
In this way, they are relatively safe for now.
Song Jie said: "Then have you ever thought that the most dangerous place is where there are no bones? Does that mean they are likely to pass by?"
When Mu Lei heard this, he felt that it made sense, "Song Jie, don't scare me this late at night."
Hearing this, he might not even be able to sleep tonight.
Song Jie smiled. This is just a guess. It shouldn't really happen, right?
But now!
The two of them looked up to the end of the darkness, and saw waves of tiny voices coming from in front of them!
…
