Chapter 29 Detecting Visions

Wild Boar had never received so much attention during his mercenary career.

At this time, he was even more ambitious.

He will become stronger in this action!

"This is where we last met White Eagle..."

As the wild boar walked, he introduced his glorious deeds.

How to discover the figure of the monster.

And how he quietly followed Bai Ying with great courage and loyalty, and finally discovered the treasured land of Lingshan.

The mercenaries following behind frowned.

Especially in the middle section, there are two core people.

At this time, the taller one was about to explode.

"This guy talks too much nonsense!"

"Feng, be patient. We still need him now." Another shorter mercenary replied.

"Okay, Louis, you are right." Feng sighed bitterly and closed his mouth.

However, suddenly a member of the team let out an "ouch" and then slapped him on the neck.

"Fuck, something bit me!"

Everyone looked around and saw a large ant nearly four centimeters biting his neck.

And when he slapped it, the ant was not hurt at all.

The bitten area quickly swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The mercenary was scrambling to get rid of this hateful thing.

The other mercenaries just wanted to go up and help, but suddenly another person called out.

"Fuck, I was bitten too!"

Next, screams sounded one after another. As if they had discovered some fresh food, the ants began to crawl towards the group of people in twos and threes.

"Wild boar, what's going on? You didn't say there would be such ants!"

The wild boar was crying without tears, and was bitten on the face.

"I don't know either... Last time I came here, there was no such thing!"

At this time, the core personnel in the team decisively issued orders.

"Everyone, light the cotton wool you carry with you!"

Cotton wool is standard equipment for everyone.

After being lit, it will emit a pungent smell.

In the jungle, mosquitoes and beasts can be driven away.

However, when the core figure Feng gave the order, he felt very unsure.

This kind of ant looks like a strengthened monster at first glance.

I don’t know if this method for ordinary insects will be useful.

However, this method was already the best solution he could come up with.

This group of mercenaries is fairly well-trained.

After receiving the order, he immediately took out the cotton wool from the bag and ignited the fire signal.

Wisps of smoke rose from their hands.

"It seems to be working!"

someone exclaimed.

Under the influence of the medicinal smoke, the ants seemed to bite less tightly.

With a gentle tug, it came off.

The mercenaries took it off their bodies and threw it on the ground.

Some mercenaries didn't think it was enough to relieve their anger, so they stepped on him a few times.

However, it seems that the exoskeleton of evolved ants is much stronger than the original.

Therefore, even though they were crushed, they still did not receive any fatal injuries, but some lost a few small legs.

Louis, another core member of the team, looked up and stopped the other members from venting their anger.

"Now, everyone leave immediately!"

"Listen, don't put out the cotton wool."

"Don't delay! Ants are social animals, and this is just the vanguard in search of food. What we have to face next is likely to be waves of attacks."

"So, now! Retreat immediately!"

At this time, all the mercenaries dressed up and left angrily.

They understand that now, monsters are everywhere and spiritual energy is reviving.

The seemingly ordinary wilderness is completely different from what it once was.

In the past, he was proficient in various weapons and fighting skills and was a strong man in surviving in the wild. No one or any animal could escape his hunting.

Nowadays, as long as there is no awakened superpower, it may be canned meat delivered to the door by animals.

At this time, Li Ge was attached to the body of an arrow ant, observing these people.

After all this trouble, Li Ge immediately understood who was the main leader in this team.

There are two leading figures.

One is Feng, and the other is the one named Louis.

There seems to be something special about those two people.

Generally speaking, if you are bitten by an arrow ant, you will definitely experience redness and swelling.

This is the venom that comes with ants.

Moreover, after evolution, this venom response became more obvious.

Just look at the other mercenaries.

One of them was bitten on the neck by an arrow ant. Now, his neck has swollen to be thicker than his head!

However, Feng and Louis were not affected at all. There was no sign of redness or swelling at the bitten area.

This had to make Li Ge pay special attention.

Li Ge guessed that these two people might have awakened some special skills and become people on the extraordinary side.

In fact, it makes sense when you think about it. After all, even animals can evolve, how could humans not?

That is the leader of all spirits!

Thinking of this, Li Ge looked at the two core personnel and felt a little itchy.

If it swallows those two people, I wonder how much energy it will provide?

…

This group of people is still moving deeper.

After passing the Ai Jian Ant level, everything seemed calm.

However, they were obviously still frightened by the scene just now.

"I've never heard that bugs can evolve!"

Someone was rubbing the bitten area and complaining softly.

"That's right, if it's a big evolved guy, it might be easier to deal with. But ants...it's hard for bullets to hit, and it's really too dangerous!"

Louis and Feng naturally heard the conversation in the team. The two men looked at each other and mentally sentenced the complainers to death.

However, they were actually very confused in their hearts.

How could ants evolve?

According to the evolved organisms that have appeared so far, there seems to be such a pattern.

The larger the size, the easier it is for organisms to evolve.

Although there are occasional accidents, generally speaking, this pattern is followed.

Of course, this is just a relatively superficial summary of the phenomenon.

Actually, this is not the case.

It's just that larger creatures will show more obvious changes after evolution.

Moreover, the living space of large-sized creatures overlaps greatly with humans, so they are naturally more likely to conflict with humans.

For example, the grizzly bear is a typical carnivore.

If it didn't have that piece of lavender, it would definitely need a lot of blood food.

After capturing all the surrounding creatures, it is likely to turn its attention to nearby villages.

At that time, there will be another news about "mutated monster grizzly bear attacking human village" in this world.

But what if the mutant is an ant?

Their prey is a variety of insects, pollen and nectar.

If they want to eat up all the food around them, it will take them a while.

And even if they eat up all the food and plan to expand their territory, they will not use humans as their diet.

Perhaps, one day, when ants evolve into a top group, each ant is as big as a small dog, they may move on to larger prey.

But, isn’t that something that happened a long, long time ago?

In fact, if Li Ge hadn't given the order, these arrow ants wouldn't be willing to pay attention to humans!

…

"Front!"

The wild boar suddenly barked.

"The front is where we went last time."

After turning a corner through a rugged terrain, a light suddenly opened up ahead.

If we say that the road we walked before was a primitive deep forest.

But here, it's more like someone's carefully tended back garden.

In the center, an extremely tall tree stands, as if connecting the clouds and the earth.

The surrounding area is divided into woods, flower fields, and fields of other unknown plants.

"Is there anyone smoking here?"

Louis put down the telescope in his hand and asked the wild boar.

The wild boar was stunned.

"It seems...no."

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, as if to convince himself.

"No, I didn't see any trace of anyone living here last time."

Feng, who was standing next to him, kept holding a telescope and said quietly: "It's very contradictory... Indeed, there are no traces of human life. If humans live here, at least..."

"Chopping, building, and making fire." Louis took over. "These are necessary human activities."

"Yes, but if there are no traces of human activities, it is speculated that this place should be a dense forest."

"Moreover, flower seeds will drift around during the sowing season. Even if there are several different plants, it is impossible for each plant to gather in such a neat group."

"Yes, seeds have no legs, so they float wherever they go. So in a natural state, several plants should grow together."

At this time, Li Ge, who was attached to the ant and hiding in the corner, was stunned.

He hadn't thought about it. During the planning, due to habits and a little bit of personal obsessive-compulsive disorder, he sown all the plants one by one in the current way.

Li Ge suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

——No, no!

——They must not be made to realize that the land itself is conscious!

The very idea that the land is conscious is so absurd that ordinary people would hardly think of it.

But this group of mercenaries deal with things that break common sense every day.

If after eliminating all possibilities, this is still the only answer...

They will definitely believe it.

And when they realized that this land was conscious, Li Ge's danger came.

At this time, Li Ge's brain was spinning rapidly.

——Their reasoning is that there is a controller here, but there can be no traces of human activity.

Any animal with human intelligence seems capable.

However, Li Ge thought about his subjects...
