Chapter 141: Killing Giant Ants
Chapter 141: Killing Giant Ants
The old house had all its windows shattered.
The light from the flashlight shone in, revealing that the remaining furniture had completely rotted away, and vines had overgrown the room.
It was gloomy and desolate, and looked rather frightening, like a graveyard.
Wang Teng stroked his chin: "What do you guys think? What if I opened a haunted house-themed escape room here? Wouldn't that be a great idea?"
Lin Qiye nodded: "Hmm, saying such eerie things in such a gloomy place, Wang Teng, something's not right with you!"
"Ahhhhh!"
Shen Qingzhu sighed and slapped Baili Pangpang on the back: "Little fatty, can you stop being so jumpy?"
Baili Pangpang pointed at the window, trembling, and said, "There's someone there!"
Upon hearing this, everyone followed the direction of Baili Pangpang's flashlight and finger, and when they saw it, they all shuddered.
In the dilapidated room, a pale face appeared by the window, its pupil-less eyes staring straight at everyone.
She had slender eyebrows, eyes that were mostly white, bright red lips, and two round pink blushes on her cheeks.
"Ahhhhh!"
Seeing Shen Qingzhu scream in fright, Lin Qiye, whose hair had been standing on end from the shock, blinked and said incredulously, "No way! This guy, who can carry a horse on his shoulder and break a boulder on his chest, such a manly and considerate man, is actually afraid of ghosts!"
Then, Lin Qiye scanned the area with his spiritual power and quickly reassured everyone: "It's alright, it's alright, it's just an ordinary paper figure."
Wang Teng nodded in agreement and slapped Li Deyang on the shoulder: "Old Li, I've made up my mind. I'm going to set up a haunted house-themed escape room here. So, do you support me or not?"
Li Deyang was also terrified, his voice cracking as he pointed at the paper figure and said, trembling, "Then go tell him! Why are you telling me? Holy crap, holy crap, it moves!!!"
The paper figure, which had been standing in the corner, suddenly turned its head and stared straight at the crowd after hearing their shouts. Then, in a flash, it disappeared.
Baili Pangpang quickly pulled a Buddhist rosary from his pocket and hurriedly handed it to Wang Teng: "Old Wang, hurry up and take him away, he's too scary."
Wang Teng nodded: "Don't worry, he can't escape. I've left my spiritual energy on him; it's now the bait. I call this casting a long line to catch a big fish. You guys should learn from this."
With that, Wang Teng dashed off into the distance, and the others quickly followed suit.
"My little darling, I'm here. Will you be a good girl and become an NPC in my future haunted house?"
Following the cold night wind, the paper figure seemed weightless, flying straight into the distance.
After chasing them all night, Wang Teng and his group finally stopped at a crack in the earth.
Wang Teng nodded: "Looks like this is it."
As he spoke, Wang Teng casually swatted a giant, fiery red ant that was about to ambush him.
Wang Teng immediately beamed, revealing eight teeth.
"Haha, double good news! They're in the same place. Let's go, hunting time!"
After saying that, the group of people took out bamboo dragonflies and put them on their heads.
Seeing Li Deyang's utterly shattered worldview, Wang Teng shrugged.
"We're a special team, so it makes sense that we have some special methods!"
"Well, whatever makes you happy (≧?≦)/"
The group slowly flew towards the bottom of the crack. When they were almost at the bottom, Lin Qiye suddenly frowned and looked at everyone.
"Stop! Something's wrong. There are giant ants down there."
Wang Teng nodded: "You don't need to do anything yet. I'm a bit short on energy lately, so leave these things to me."
As he spoke, Wang Teng fired a flare. Upon seeing the bright light, the giant ants were startled at first, and then they went crazy and crawled toward the flare.
Wang Teng watched the ants swarming wildly and chuckled, "Haha, I'm just waiting for you to walk right into my trap."
As he spoke, Wang Teng transformed into a streak of black light and began frantically hunting down the adorable creatures that were 1-2 meters long.
"Congratulations, host, for hunting down the giant ant. Reward: 10 Luck Points!"
……
Faced with a barrage of system notifications, Wang Teng simply turned off the sound.
Luck value doesn't matter; Wang Teng mainly likes these ants in front of him and wants to help them reunite as a family.
Suddenly, Wang Teng turned his head and grinned in one direction, saying, "Haha, still trying to run? Impossible. Someone as adorable as you is just too dazzling. No matter where you hide, I can see you. Don't be afraid, it'll be over in a minute."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Teng arrived in front of a huge white queen ant.
The queen ant is about 20 meters long and 4 meters tall. However, for some reason, she moves very slowly when she runs away, and white ant eggs are often visible on her tail.
Wang Teng's lips twitched: "Damn it, you're like a toad with a frog, ugly on the outside but good on the inside! You've got an enema in your mouth, and all you do is poop! And look at you, not even wearing clothes, just leaving your ant eggs lying around. You have no idea how tired those worker ants are. Enough said, I'm going to punish you in the name of the moon."
As he spoke, Wang Teng raised a finger, and a jet-black energy ball appeared in front of the giant ant.
"Bang~"
The ant queen, who possessed the cultivation level of the Sea Realm, was instantly blasted to pieces by Wang Teng's energy ball.
Lin Qiye said sourly, "Sigh, Old Wang is getting more and more monstrous. At this rate, when will I ever be able to surpass him!"
Wang Tengfei returned to the group: "Alright, the ants' mysterious mission has been successfully completed. Next up is that paper figure~"
The mention of the paper figure caused everyone's expressions to freeze, and they continued their exploration deeper into the crack.
A few minutes later, Wang Teng and his group arrived in front of a city wall made of green bricks. An Qingyu wiped the dust off the bricks, and a gray glint appeared in her eyes, as if something was pulsating within them.
After a moment, An Qingyu nodded: "Judging from the weathering inside the bricks, it should be from the Han Dynasty more than two thousand years ago!"
Wang Teng draped an arm over Li Deyang's shoulder: "Old Li, does everything in front of you seem familiar?"
"How could I possibly know any of this? Wang Teng, you'd better protect me later!"
The group walked for a few more minutes and came to an ancient and magnificent bronze gate and black city walls.
Baili Pangpang's lips parted slightly: "Holy crap, where have I been this time? Why is there still a city wall? Are all my old friends so idle?"
An Qingyu frowned, shook her head and said, "This one is clearly different from the one before. I can't analyze its structure."
Lin Qiye's spirits lifted, and he said excitedly, "Old Wang, there's a hole here. Maybe we can crawl in."
