After everyone got on their horses, Lan Feng specifically ordered Lan Xin to ride away first, while he would ride Wei Ran's horse back to meet Wei Ran.
"Sir, let me go," at the critical moment, a man named Xu Nuo stood up and wanted to go there on Lan Jing's behalf.
"Okay, you don't have to be careful." Time was running out, so Lan Feng did not delay and handed the horse directly to the man named Xu Nuo, then rode away with Lan Rou.
On Wei Ran's side, the number of sand ants that Wei Ran has to face now can be described as overwhelming. Fortunately, the strength of the seventh-level martial arts cultivator is strong enough. When he increases the attack range and speed, those sand ants become swarming. It fell to the ground, and Wei Ran could still cope with it for the time being.
"General, get on the horse quickly." After Lan Feng led the people to leave first, the man who called Xu Nuo immediately rode towards Wei Ran. When he stopped less than three meters away from Wei Ran, he quickly turned the horse's head and waited. Wei Ran mounted his horse.
On the other side, hearing the shouts from behind, Wei Ran looked back and understood the situation directly. Without saying a word, he hit the sand ants in front of him a few more times, then quickly turned around and jumped up, landing directly on the ground. On horseback.
"Let's go," Wei Ran shouted to Xu Nuo as soon as he sat down, "catch up with the young master and the others as soon as possible."
"Drive," after receiving the instruction, Xu Nuo shouted and drove the horse forward. The situation was urgent. It seemed that even the horse was aware of the danger and galloped away with the two of them.
At the same time, behind the two people, the swarm of sand ants was still flying forward, twisting its body in the air like a huge black snake, constantly making sharp chirping sounds, chasing the two people on the horse. .
Fortunately, the horse's galloping speed was faster than the movement speed of the sand ant swarm. Soon the two of them were able to get rid of the ant swarm behind them, and everything went smoothly in the end. Catch up with Lan Jing and others in front
After the two sides met, there were still thirteen people left in the original fourteen-person team. The group of people fled straight ahead, running from the gray sky to three poles in the sun before Wei Ran asked everyone to stop and rest.
By this time, they had completely left the fierce forest. In front of them was the endless plain area, and further away was the Shihuang Mountains, which was crisscrossed by mountains.
After escaping all the way to this point, everyone was inevitably panicked. After stopping, none of them were in the mood to appreciate the surrounding scenery, and kept looking back to see if the group of sand ants had caught up.
"Is everyone okay?" After getting off the horse, Wei Ran looked at everyone's situation.
"We're fine, don't worry, general," he followed Wei Ran as he dismounted. After everyone looked at each other, they finally replied in unison.
"Wang Yang, why is there blood on your face?" The next moment, after making sure that everyone was fine, Wei Ran glanced at Wang Yang, who had blood on his face.
"Is there any?" Facing Wei Ran's inquiry, the man named Wang Yang seemed not to know that there was blood on his face, and immediately touched his face with a confused look.
"Strange, why is there blood on my face?" After confirming that Wei Ran was right, Wang Yang asked Wei Ran while touching his face.
"It must have been bitten by sand ants. I also have a few wounds on my body." When everyone was confused by Wang Yang's rhetorical question, Zhou Hai answered Wang Yang's question for Wei Ran. In order to let others understand, Zhou Hai Hai also deliberately opened his clothes to show the wounds caused by the sand ants to everyone.
Following what Zhou Hai pointed out, everyone could see that there were several damaged areas on Zhou Hai's clothes, as well as some blood stains. Under the clothes were wounds from sand ants. Even though the wounds were not deep, they still showed signs of damage. Sand ants are awesome.
"If Wang Yang and I hadn't run so fast just now, I'm afraid there would have been more wounds on our bodies, and the injuries would have been more serious than they are now." Seeing everyone casting concerned glances at him, Zhou Hai suddenly looked serious. One more thing to add.
After Zhou Hai finished speaking, the others immediately understood the situation. After looking at Wang Yang, it turned out that Wang Yang's injuries looked like they were caused by sand ants.
Zhou Hai and the others were just focused on escaping for their lives. They were so nervous that they didn't notice that they were bitten by sand ants. Even if they felt pain on their bodies along the way, they had no time to care about those wounds. It wasn't until they stopped that they had time to check their own conditions. .
"Wang Yang, how are you?" When Wang Yang opened his clothes and exposed all the wounds, Wei Ran and others immediately realized that the situation was not good, because not only were there many wounds on Wang Yang's body, but the wounds seemed to be bitten by ants. Yes, it looks very serious.
Looking at Wang Yang's face again, Wei Ran and others immediately became worried.
"I'm fine," Wang Yang said through gritted teeth, with a very reluctant tone. After saying that, he sat down on the ground, looking seriously injured.
"Hurry up and take out the medicine. I want to bandage Wang Yang's wound." Wang Yang's condition was too serious. After shouting to the person responsible for bringing the medicine, Wei Ran immediately squatted down and carefully inspected Wang Yang's injury.
"Sir, take the others to bandage the wounds of Zhou Hai and the others." While checking Wang Yang's injuries, he reminded Lan Jing that Wei Ran was very worried about Wang Yang's condition.
"Understood," he didn't dare to neglect. After agreeing, Lan Jing looked directly at the other two people who had participated in blocking the sand ant swarm. Compared with Wang Yang's injuries, Zhou Hai and the other person were in pretty good condition. There aren't that many wounds.
With the help of others, Lan Jing properly bandaged the wounds of Zhou Hai and others, and then paid attention to Wang Yang's situation with others.
I originally thought that the sand ants were not big and would not cause too serious injuries to the three of them. However, judging from the current situation, their judgment was not correct and they did not know how to express their emotions at the moment. But what happened today It undoubtedly gave them a little more insight.
"General, will those sand ants come after you again?" After Wei Ran bandaged Wang Yang's wounds and let Wang Yang have a good rest, Lan Jing directly asked a question that everyone was concerned about at the moment.
"This place is dozens of miles away from the fierce forest. There should be no problem for us to stay here for a while. The top priority is to replenish our strength as soon as possible." Wei Ran glanced in the direction of the fierce forest and continued: "But about Li Ru At the end of the day, there will be some situations that need to be explained."
"General, please speak," he finally had to face this difficult problem. Lan Jing, who had already made some suspicions, frowned and asked Wei Ran directly about the specific situation.
"As the last general said just now on the road, Li Ru was besieged and died by a swarm of sand ants before. Zhou Hai and others can testify." Facing the doubtful eyes of Lan Jing and others, Wei Ran could only patiently treat Li Ru to death. Describe the circumstances of the accident in detail.
When talking about Li Ru's matter, Wei Ran's expression became more solemn, because some members of the Li family also held important positions in the military. The death of the Li Ru brothers made Wei Ran feel that it would be difficult to explain to the Li family after returning. Although Li Ru I can't blame him for his death. He may still have to bear some responsibility, but if he can get Lan Jing's help, perhaps the impact on him will be greatly reduced.
"General, what you mean is that Li Ru deliberately acted bravely and refused to listen to dissuasion, which led to his unfortunate death?" A look of doubt flashed across Lan Jing's face, and Lan Jing couldn't believe Wei Ran's statement.
In fact, Li Ru's death was also related to Lan Jing. Even though he did not need to take any responsibility for this, he could not ignore Wei Ran's request. Moreover, it had only been two days since their departure and they had lost two people. What happened to the Li Ru brothers also had a certain impact on the morale of the entire team. In Lan Jing's view, there must be an explanation for the matter.
"What the general said is true. Li Ru thought he was standing in front of us to block the swarm of sand ants. The situation was fine at first, but then when all the sand ants flew up, the situation took a turn for the worse. We were all in danger, but that one "Shi Li Ru ignored the general's dissuasion many times and insisted on going his own way, and eventually died at the mouth of those sand ants." After Wei Ran treated his wound, Wang Yang could feel that his condition was much better.
Thinking again, if Li Ru hadn't deliberately acted bravely and delayed their evacuation, his injuries might not have been so serious. Wang Yang directly came forward to confirm Wei Ran's statement.
"Wang Yang is right, Li Ru's death was indeed his own fault, and not long after he was surrounded by the sand ants, his body was gone, so we can't bring his body out," About Li Ru Zhou Hai saw with his own eyes the scene of being eaten by those sand ants. Thinking about it now, he was still a little frightened. However, he had the same opinion as Wang Yang about Li Ru's death, but he was a little surprised that the sand ants were so small. It's so terrifying to be ruthless.
"That's it," Lan Jing nodded, trying hard to think of the scene Wei Ran and the others were talking about. After Wang Yang and Zhou Hai came forward to confirm Wei Ran's remarks, he no longer had any doubts about the cause of Li Ru's death.
At the same time, after hearing the descriptions of Wang Yang and Zhou Hai, everyone else felt that Li Ru deserved his death, but they still felt that it was a pity that Li Ru died.
He didn't expect that Li Ru would die in the mouth of those sand ants just to earn some face. After being surprised for a while, Lu Yunyou couldn't help but sigh that if it wasn't like this, Li Ru would definitely be able to come back alive like Zhou Hai and the others. Thinking about the conflict between Li Ru and him before, Lu Yunyou was I really don’t know how to view Li Ru’s experience.
