Chapter 35: Red Water Drifting Revenge Ants

  The little Tibetan antelope had probably eaten the red revenge ants before, and now saw many red ants sticking their heads out of a small hole in the wall. Suddenly, it jumped three feet high, using only two steps to jump out of the weathered rock cave. Without looking back or stopping, it was seen jumping left and right, its four hooves flying, treading on the wind-eroded rocks, running wildly in the stormy rain, like racing with lightning, without any trace of laziness.

  It's not advancing, but retreating along the way it came!

  After Keke chased him out, he only saw Xiao Ke's back disappearing into the vast rainy night, with a few flashes of lightning flashing behind him. This made Xiao Ke look mysterious and unmatched, a bit like a divine sheep descending to the world.

  As you can see, Cangyang Gyatso is once again playing the role of a troublemaker, once again leaving the crowd behind, and once again abandoning everyone!

  Keksi stood at the edge of the cave, getting rained on, and saw the scene in front of him, suddenly stunned.

  In the valley, the red water surged to the sky, roaring and flying. The torrential rain mixed with the red sand became reddish-brown. The waves in the lightning were like devils, baring their teeth and claws. In the time it took them to speak, the water level in the valley had risen to within three meters of the cave entrance where they stood.

  Malacca saw the blood-colored revenge ant in the wind-eroded rock cave, got up quickly without saying a word, picked up a stone and killed the red ant that was exploring its head, then found an animal rib to block the entrance of the cave, turned around again, and saw another wall with blood-colored ants emerging.

  Professor Zhou joined the battle with only half a bottle of "insecticide spray" left in his hand. Unexpectedly, this insecticide spray was indeed an all-purpose sharp weapon. Although it couldn't kill these blood-colored revenge ants, it made them dizzy and disoriented.

  Malacca shouted from the side: "Next time you come out, bring some insecticide spray, I didn't expect this thing to be a demon-slaying, all-purpose, useful tool!"

  Just as they were busy blocking one ant hole after another, Liu Yi and Lu Zonghan had already filled the two rubber rafts with air. Their rubber rafts were confirmed to be able to carry three people, and in order not to disperse and run off course, they connected the two rafts together.

  The rubber raft finally came in handy and wasn't a waste of space after carrying it for so long. Before this, Malacca even suggested throwing them away.

  After being rendered by Korksi, Liu Yi and others were filled with fear in their hearts towards this blood-colored revenge ant, similar to the feeling of encountering the soul-eating insect for the first time in the underground dark river.

  Liu Yi had also discovered the phenomenon of the water level in the valley rising continuously, so he decided to set off immediately. All he heard was him shouting: "Put on your lightning-proof protective clothing and set off immediately! The raging waters outside are more ferocious than the bloodthirsty ants!"

  Is everything really as Liu Yi thought? Only heaven knows!

  The raindrops are very large and powerful, if not clearly seen to be heavily hitting the surface of the water, if not deeply felt by the nerve endings to be a dull pain from the raindrops hitting the body, it is hard to believe that they are not hailstones but just raindrops.

  The people on the boat looked forward, and they were stunned again by the scene in front of them. They clearly saw that the Red Water was like a red dragon climbing a slope, rushing towards a direction much higher than their location.

  "Whoa, this is an anti-gravity slope!" Malacca exclaimed: "It must be the result of a magnetic field anomaly!"

  The crowd basically didn't need to paddle, and the rubber raft quickly drifted forward with the flood, in the blink of an eye it had rushed out over a hundred meters.

  There are many animal carcasses floating on the surface of the red water, which should be caused by heavy rain pouring into the black swamp, causing the water level to rise, resulting in so many nauseating floating corpses.

  Liu Yi and the other four people held tightly to the rubber raft, tossing up and down in the wind and waves. The thunder was so loud it seemed to come from right above their heads, its power terrifying.

  Malacca howled in the strong wind: "If only Big Black Fish were here, it would take us straight to our destination!"

  "Stop dreaming, Xiao Ke doesn't know where he went. Even if the big black fish comes, we can't guarantee that it will still recognize us, after all, it's just a one-time encounter, and whether or not it gives us face is hard to say!" Lu Zonghan shouted loudly while holding the wolf-tooth flashlight and shining it back and forth on the water surface, in case those blood-colored revenge ants or other unknown creatures from the black swamp besides the big black fish appear here.

  Suddenly, a thunderous "Boom... Rumble..." sound shook the sky, followed by a red lightning bolt that wildly descended from the air. Liu Yi looked up to see that the lightning was as thick as a large tree, with branches and vines sprouting from its body like a tree's root system. It roared through the darkness, splitting the sky in two, striking the mountain head on their left side at an angle, instantly shattering the weathered granite into dust.

  "Good heavens! Row the boat quickly!" Liu Yi shouted loudly, waving his arms back and forth.

  The words had barely fallen when the sky seemed to be adding more calamities to them, and a large piece of the Death Valley was struck by lightning again, one after another, some of which merged in mid-air to form an even larger thunderbolt that roared towards the mountains on both sides of the Death Valley.

  Although they wear anti-lightning suits, it does not guarantee that if the lightning strikes them, they will be unscathed. After all, no one has personally experimented with being struck by lightning in this death valley to see if they can survive.

  I estimate that as soon as I'm struck by a lightning bolt, it's a sure thing that I'll instantly become a "mushroom"

  "I'd rather stay in that wind-eroded cave and fight the blood ants!""Malacca shouted, pointing at the sky and cursing: "I'll be damned!"

  Among these people, except for Lu Zonghan who has experienced thunderstorms, the rest of them have never seen such a powerful sky anger. Professor Zhou Tao actually took out his camera without fear of death and took a few photos with "click, click". I guess he wanted to leave some records of this wonderful sky phenomenon, even if he was blown up into "mashed potatoes" it would be worth it.

  Malacca saw Professor Zhou Tao safe and sound, and actually took out his mobile phone, stretched out the signature scissor hand to take a selfie, was robbed of his mobile phone by Liu Yi beside him, and threw it far away, shouting "You're going to die!"

  As soon as the words fell, the thunder and lightning in the sky seemed to have sensed the information of electronic products. A bolt of lightning struck down from the air and hit the phone that was suspended in mid-air. With a loud "bang", the white Apple phone from Malacca instantly turned into charcoal, and under the tearing of two bolts of lightning, it was reduced to powder and fell down with the rainwater.

  The dense lightning here is a thunderstorm phenomenon produced by the direct discharge of ionized dark clouds in the sky above Death Valley, which can cause great harm to both human bodies and electronic devices. Fortunately, everyone was wearing anti-lightning suits, and there was no life-threatening danger for the time being.

  The rubber raft disappeared into the distance in the midst of the shouting "My iPhone!" in Malacca.

  The raft drifted very fast and floated out more than ten miles in half an hour.

  Right in front of them was a torrential downpour, dark and endless, with lightning flashing all around, making it impossible to see the end. All they could see was the red water flowing upwards at an increasingly steep slope. Their rubber raft clung tightly to the surface of the water, looking from afar as if it were standing upright.

  "Ah!" With the crowd's shout, the rubber raft had climbed up the high slope with the red water, but after the slope was another incline. Due to excessive speed, their rubber raft flew out in an instant.

  At the foot of the slope was a small hill, which stood like a sharp knife, dividing the torrential flood into two branches.

  Originally two rubber rafts tied together, they fell from the air and crashed into the valley, the rope was instantly cut off by the rocks, Liu Yi's one hand tightly grasped the rubber raft, the other hand grasped Professor Zhou Tao who also fell into the water.

  The Malacca on the rubber raft was busy pulling the two onto the rubber raft. In this short period of time, the rubber raft that Lu Zonghan and Ke Kexi were sitting on followed one of the branching water flows and rushed into the distance.

  In the darkness, Liu Yi vaguely saw Lu Zonghan waving at them. The rubber raft they were sitting on then shot forward like a sharp arrow, following another branch of the slanting current that flowed out.

  ……

  About half an hour later, the speed of the water flow did not slow down, but the raindrops in the sky were no longer as large as before, but still about the size of beans; The sky also had a hint of brightness mixed in, and was no longer as dark as the bottom of a pot.

  Malacca suddenly let out a scream and jumped up from the rubber raft, almost capsizing it when she landed again.

  Malacca, who was on the ship, clutched the blood-red ant corpse that had been 'pinched to death' by his left hand, and while rubbing his buttocks, shouted: "I'm in agony!"

  Everyone was staring ahead, unaware of the blood-colored ants floating on the water and crawling onto their raft from behind. Fortunately, there was only one; otherwise, everyone would have been in trouble.

  Liu Yi looked back, due to the relatively small number of blood-colored ants that had drifted over, and also because they blended in with the color of the Chi Water, he couldn't see a single one. He turned his head to look at Ma Liucao, who was grimacing in pain: "I don't know if these ants are poisonous? Can you hold on?"

  As soon as Liu Yi's voice fell, he saw Malacca's body tilt backwards and faint.

  "Impossible!" Liu Yi was shocked, knowing that Ma Liuyue was a special reconnaissance soldier with extremely strong willpower. A man of over 200 pounds had actually fainted from just one bite from the blood-colored ants through his clothes. The toxin on these ants was not ordinary, no wonder even the experienced and knowledgeable Tibetan antelope Xiao Ke was scared away.

  Professor Zhou Tao saw the situation, didn't say a word, and quickly found a syringe in the medical bag. With Liu Yi's help, he swiftly administered antibiotics to Ma Liya to prevent the virus from spreading further.

  It only took a short while for Malacca's arm to break out in countless red spots, just like the bumps on a toad's back. His arm slowly began to swell up, but fortunately, Professor Zhou Tao treated him promptly and the swelling did not spread further.

  Liu Yi looked at Malacca, who was unconscious on the rubber raft, and then looked ahead at the unknown distance of the Red Sea Road, his brow furrowing more and more.

  Suddenly, Professor Zhou Tao on the boat felt a huge dark wave rushing towards the rubber raft, but didn't know what kind of huge creature was attacking!
