Chapter 554.
A Mei, who had already re-laid down, had sat up in a divining moment.
At the same time, the others also probed.
It was then that A Mei reached out her hand:
“Prohibit speech, silence, don’t act rashly.
“I’m going to probe.”
Speaking here, she glanced at Jiang Ran:
“You said someone was coming earlier, is it them?”
Jiang Ran nodded.
“You go with me.”
Ah Mei said and stood up:
“The others take precautionary preparations, and if there are any strange changes, immediately summon them.”
This woman was organized, and these good men of the Yao Clan responded.
Jiang Ran and the others glanced at each other, then they heard Jiang Ran say:
“When you enter the village, do as the Romans do, in that case, let’s listen to Miss A Mei.
“You guys wait here for a little while, we’ll go and come.”
“Good.”
Tang Shixiang nodded gently at him, reassuring him.
Only then did Jiang Ran glance at Ah Mei who was planning to land on the ground, using the cover of the rocks to carefully feel her way forward.
Followed by a sway of his figure, he had already reached her.
It so happened that Ah Mei was leaping down at that moment, and was then grabbed by Jiang Ran’s shoulder.
The two silhouettes were like arrows leaving the strings, heading straight to where the sound came from.
The sound wasn’t too far away, under Jiang Ran’s Indulgence Flowing Light Skill, he had already arrived at the place with just one landing.
On the branch of a large tree, two people stopped.
Raising their eyes, they saw several figures wandering between the trees, and at the same time, pattering sounds rang out from all directions.
There were dark shadows on the ground that were meandering and wandering.
“It’s the Winged Clan!”
A Mei frowned, her face somewhat grave.
“The Wing Race? Can fly?”
Jiang Ran was surprised.
“It’s just the …… name, how can it fly?”
A Mei somewhat admired Jiang Ran’s imagination.
“Can’t even fly, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a winged race?”
Jiang Ran gently shook his head and carefully went to look at the things on the ground, his expression slightly dismayed:
“It’s ants?”
“It’s a ghost ant manipulated by the Wing Race.
“This thing is highly poisonous, and when it walks through in swarms, everything withers.
“With this thing, they have always been ferociously famous among the Hundred Clans. ……”
A Mei said with her brows locked, gazing at the field, those few figures covered in ghost ants.
The miserable screams from just now were coming from their bodies.
Now that their breath was dying, their lives had obviously come to an end.
Therefore, A Mei also did not propose to rescue …… In fact, this kind of thing of saving people is often impossible in the face of the wing tribe.
If it was A Mei himself, he would turn around and leave when he saw them, never staying.
Once discovered by them, death was almost certain.
But nowadays, there was still Jiang Ran around as a backbone after all, which was why she dared to consider such things as saving or not saving someone.
And just in the two people casually talking two sentences of effort, this ghost ants have already completely wrapped those few people, the original people can still twitch two times, but a moment later, there is no movement.
The range of the black ghost ants was also getting smaller and smaller, and eventually there were no drops left.
After these few people were eaten up, the ghost ants dispersed and wandered into the robes of several winged clansmen.
One of them was heard to say:
“How many batches is this?”
“In the past three days, this is already the ninth batch.”
Another person spoke softly.
“There are simply too many people from the Hundred Races.
“It’s not nearly enough. ……
“Since the Flute Clan has put out the word that they are preparing a great gift for the disciples of the Hundred Clans, they are bound to be extremely well prepared.
“However, only those who are alive will be able to get this gift.
“And those who can arrive at the Flute Clan alive are destined to be few and far between!!!”
When the man said this, he suddenly looked up in the direction of Jiang Ran’s two men:
“There are still fish that missed the net!”
At this point, he threw out his hand, and a black mist blasted out from his sleeve.
It looked like fog, but it was actually a group of flying ghost ants.
This thing had wings and flew extremely fast.
A Mei was taken aback, not waiting to make a move, he felt the sky and earth rotate, and when he came back to his senses, he had already reached the ground.
When she looked up again, she realized that she had not only reached the ground.
He had also arrived in front of these few Winged Clansmen.
Just then, he heard Jiang Ran’s voice ring out:
“How did you guys find us?”
Hearing him speak with utmost sincerity, it was clear that he was genuinely inquiring.
A Mei was speechless for a moment, while the several Winged Clansmen were taken aback.
They raised their hands to test the waters, but they didn’t want to see that in the blink of an eye, this person was not only not injured by the ghost ants, but he had already arrived in front of them.
Upon hearing this, the few people did not intend to reply.
Black shadows spread up and down their bodies, and the ghost ants came out from their robes as if they were flowing water:
“Some ability, unfortunately, met us ……
“Today, I will call you ……”
“Noisy.”
Jiang Ran took a step out, and the moment his toes landed, the ghost ants that spread like water had burst at the same time.
At this moment, it wasn’t just a few people from the Winged Clan who couldn’t let their eyes fall to the ground, even if A Mei knew that Jiang Ran was highly skilled in martial arts, she couldn’t have imagined that he would be able to do this to this extent.
What she had thought earlier was that Jiang Ran had struck out and might have performed that one of his subtle internal arts.
Covering the ant colony with ice and freezing them alive.
However, she didn’t expect that this kick would come down and directly use his internal force to brutally shock these ghost ants to death.
Although A Mei hadn t said it, she knew that these ghost ants were not so simple …… Hundred Races manipulation of insect techniques, all of which would cultivate these poisonous insects.
Although these ghost ants were not as amazingly defensive as the Scorpion King, with the force of an adult, it would be difficult to pinch one to death.
Not to mention, with this foot drop, all the ghost ants on the ground died a horrible death.
Was this something that a human could do?
A few black-robed winged tribe even nearly pissed their pants, just now the big words put out, have not yet waited to retract it, was ruthlessly in the face of a slap in the face.
This …… is simply outrageous!
But at this moment, it is impossible to think about the reasoning of this matter.
A few people looked at each other, turned around and left.
Just heard Jiang Ran say softly:
“I’m asking you guys where …… to go?”
Jiang Ran’s voice was light and airy, yet the blade awnings that roamed the sky were also light and airy.
The sharp and biting blade intent filled every inch of space around them.
Even though they hadn’t seen what kind of power these saber awnings would present once they erupted, they could feel …… that if they took just one more step, their heads would have to fall to the ground!
Several people could only slowly turn around and look at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran cocked his head:
“How? Still want this father, ask again?”
“…… You were discovered by the ghost ants.”
One of the black-robed men remembered what Jiang Ran had asked, and immediately hurriedly answered:
“We are on an errand, naturally we have to have ghost ants on sentry duty around us.
“It’s just that your lightweight skills are too exquisite, and the ghost ants only realized that there were two more of you after a long time.”
Jiang Ran sniffed, and only then did he gently nod his head:
“I see… …… It seems that I have underestimated the insect arts in the 100,000 mountains.
“To be able to do this to such an extent is truly a call for defense.
“I’ll give you an opportunity to hand over the insect art in your clan to me, and this father will let you live.”
“The method of manipulating ghost ants is the essence of my clan, even if it is ten thousand deaths ……”
A black clothed man’s words had just reached this point when his head lolled and directly fell off his neck.
Jiang Ran counted them one by one:
“There are a total of four people left …… There are still four chances.
“Grasp it.”
“What in the world is …… your honor?”
Another person opened his mouth, however, before the words were finished, his head also fell off.
Jiang Ran rubbed his fingertips:
“Answer the wrong question, got to die.”
The remaining three people were completely numb.
They were usually ruthless in their work.
The few people they killed tonight were only killed because they came to participate in the Hundred Races Conference and didn’t want them to seize the great gift given by the Flute Race.
However, he didn’t expect that after killing these few people, he encountered an even more ruthless one.
Asking them for the Winged Race’s Bug Technique, they had to kill them if they didn’t give it, and they had to kill them even if they answered the question.
So, what to do now?
Is it possible to tell the truth?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard two snorts.
Two more heads fell to the ground.
At this moment, all the sharp edges were focused on the body of the last black-clothed man.
It was quite an odd scene.
The forest, with ancient trees in the sky, was filled with ant corpses, along with four headless corpses.
A man and a woman stood there, the woman’s jaw dropped, as if she had already been shocked by the situation.
The man was somewhat rambunctious.
There was only one black-robed man left on the opposite side, but he was being forced by the rambling blade awns.
The blade awns hung in the air, recklessly emitting a lingering blade intent.
Cutting everything around …… just by looking at it, it is as if the soul will be burned by this blade intent.
Opposite all of this, this black clothed man is finally completely taut.
Kneeled on the ground with a flutter:
“I say!!!”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“Good.”
The man didn’t dare to hesitate any longer, today he had met a ruthless madman.
If you don’t say it, you will definitely die, if you say it, at least you have a chance to live ……
Just, is there really?
He elaborated on the clan’s secret code while speculating in his mind, only feeling that the chances of survival were slim.
Who the other party was, what origin, he didn’t know a thing.
This person was truly overbearing.
He was only allowed to ask others and not allow others to ask him.
He asked a question, others do not answer, then have to die. Other people ask him a word, make him unhappy, then still have to die ……
This damn went out without reading the yellow calendar, how did he meet such a fatal star?
While thinking in his heart, he recited the secret code of insect art.
The content of this thing is not much, before and after about seven or eight hundred words or so, was he said as much as possible.
Jiang Ran stroked his chin, feeling that this thing was overwhelmingly different from martial arts.
Yet it wasn’t vague and without any reasoning.
It wasn’t just things with a spirit that could be tamed, some things without a spirit could be tamed by relying on habits.
This was the case with the insect techniques of the hundred races, but the details were different, so there was a huge difference.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment, feeling that he could also snatch the insect arts of other ungrateful people and turn around to merge them into one, which seemed to be a good way to go.
The man, on the other hand, kowtowed after he finished speaking:
“I’ve told you everything you need to know, please, let me go.”
Without waiting for Jiang Ran to nod, he heard A Mei say:
“What he said is only half of it, this is the core of manipulating ghost ants.
“However, how to cultivate the ghost ants, he didn’t say.
“Without the second half, the power is bound to be greatly reduced.”
“You!!!”
The winged man’s face changed drastically.
However, he saw Jiang Ran smile:
“There’s no harm in it, since he was able to reveal the first half of the Bug Technique in order to stay alive, then in the future, he’ll always come across someone who only reveals the second half of the Bug Technique in order to stay alive as well.
“At that time, when this father combines them, he will be able to obtain the complete method of manipulation ……”
That Winged Race person’s face sank, secretly reached into his sleeve, and was about to do something, when that blade awn had already penetrated through his body.
In a single thought, he was already dead.
Jiang Ran came to his front and reached into his sleeve to fumble around, but took out a small bottle.
“What is this?”
Jiang Ran glanced at Ah Mei.
Ah Mei also shook her head:
“I’m shallowly informed, I’ve spent my entire life fighting against the Gothic Clan, how could I possibly know too much about this lofty Wing Clan among the Hundred Clans?”
When she said this, the feeling of powerlessness that she felt that night when she talked with Granny appeared once again.
Yes, in her opinion, the Winged Race was then already a lofty existence among the hundred races.
But what could they be in front of Jiang Ran?
They were like ants, really not worth mentioning.
The ghost ants that these few people were carrying could easily take their lives …… but in front of Jiang Ran, their lives, too, were not their own.
This man …… is watery, but, it is really scary.
Jiang Ran did not get an answer and was not in a hurry.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, he suddenly felt that it was a bit of a pity that the party had shocked all those ghost ants to death.
Otherwise, with this manipulation method, he might be able to use them to destroy the corpses as well.
“That’s just it, we’ll play again later.”
With these words, he rolled up his sleeve, the wind rose and fell, and the withered leaves on the ground rose up like a curtain, instantly covering these corpses.
Turning back to look at A Mei again:
“Since the people of the Winged Clan are intercepting in this neighborhood, I’m afraid that the next road will only not be very good.
“I wonder how many of the hundred races can be compared to the Winged Race?”
“I’ve also heard it all from hearsay …… It is rumored that among the hundred races, there are no more than a handful of people whose strength is above that of the Winged Race.
“There is the Si Clan that manipulates poisonous spiders, the Night Clan that manipulates moths, the Red Clan that manipulates fiery insects, and the Bed Clan that manipulates nematodes.
“On top of that, there is the very mysterious Green Clan, not knowing exactly what they manipulate ……
“They seldom walk the land of the Hundred Clans, just everyone knows that they live in the north of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, but no one dares to enter the offense.
“Simply because back then there were once dozens of Hundred Clans crowd, together to go to the siege, the result is ultimately no life.
“Not even the bodies were found.
“To say that above the Winged Race, it is probably these five families.”
“The Si Clan, the Night Clan, the Red Clan, the Bedlam Clan, and the Green Clan ……”
Jiang Ran stroked his chin and suddenly smiled:
“It’s hard to say if the 100,000 Great Mountains are big or not, but this Hundred Races is really fancy.
“That said, as a person of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, have you ever thought of going over the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and going to the other end to see if there would be a new world?”
Ah Mei scratched his head, then shook his head:
“Haven’t thought about it …… When I was a child, Grandma once told me that the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains themselves are full of crises.
“Our ancestors have been able to live here for generations because we have been accepted by the mountain and become part of it.
“However, just as the beasts of the mountain have their own habitat.
“We also can’t easily leave our own habitat, or else we will be rejected by the mountain …… Eventually, we will die in this mountain.”
Jiang Ran nodded at his words, feeling that the words had risen to this point, they had risen to a point similar to faith, then it would be difficult to continue on.
At that moment, the two of them walked towards where they came from, and as they did so, Jiang Ran remembered the thing he wanted to tell her just now:
“About the Flute Clan Chief’s method of becoming immortal, how much do you know?”
“Not at all.”
A Mei glanced at Jiang Ran and shook her head, saying:
“That’s not something I can covet, it’s something I can’t even inquire about ……
“And how could one know anything about it?”
“Then do you know whether this method is true or false?”
Jiang Ran asked again.
A Mei thought for a moment and asked rhetorically:
“You wouldn’t have come here for this method of becoming immortal, would you?”
Jiang Ran smiled and didn’t answer, only remembering what Wu Di and the others had once said.
The words of Tian Youfang, Wu Di, plus Qilan had probably sketched a picture before Jiang Ran.
However, nowadays, this picture was actually crippled.
If this patriarch wanted to obtain the method of longevity, the probability was that he needed to obtain Wu Di’s native compulsion in order to do so.
But Wu Di is now in the Golden Cicada Battlefield, and it is simply impossible for him to appear in this 100,000 mountains ……
Exactly what method did he want to rely on to make up for his own shortcomings?
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of the Winged Clan in the party.
Following that, he stopped ……
Slightly contemplating, he then said softly:
“Miss A Mei, can you be proficient in compulsion?”
“Not proficient, just heard about it.”
Ah Mei didn’t know why he suddenly answered the question, but such a big shot, even if he didn’t answer his question, what could he do?
Just listen to Jiang Ran laugh:
“Compulsion, ah, actually the most superficial thing is to make the insects kill each other.
“Put all kinds of poisonous insects, put them in an altar, buried deep underground, they have nothing to eat, nothing to drink, so they can only eat each other.
“Time passes little by little, when they kill each other, only the last one left.
“This one it if it is still alive, then it is called a parasite.”
A Mei nodded:
“Sure enough, it is similar to the insect art ……
“It would be great if I could learn proper compulsion techniques.”
Jiang Ran then said:
“Miss A Mei, have you ever thought of anything?”
“Thought of what?”
Ah Mei’s mind was completely different from Jiang Ran’s, and it was only at this time that she listened to the party and paid attention.
Just heard Jiang Ran say:
“You see, the Flute Clan used the Hundred Clans Conference as a guide to attract all the clans to gather around the Flute Clan,” he said.
“They are not forbidden to kill each other.
“Just according to what that person from the Winged Clan said just now, in the end, how many people will truly be able to walk to the Flute Clan?
“And will these people …… really be able to take away that great gift of the Flute Clan?”
These words didn’t seem to sound odd at first glance, yet combined with Jiang Ran’s method of refining the compulsion just now, it suddenly gave birth to a wave of fear in A Mei’s heart.
The chill was like an electric current, rushing from her tailbone all the way to the top door.
Drawing a girl like her, she couldn’t help but shiver:
“You want to say …… that this is a conspiracy of the Flute Clan.
“Using the Flute Clan as an urn, luring the hundred clans into the urn …… for the purpose of …… practicing parasites?”
