Chapter 574: This Is Punishment

injas were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, the lights in the workshop suddenly went out, plunging everything into darkness."Boom!"Another crisp crack sounded.This time, it wasn't a smo...Just on this patch of sand, red blood flowed out, the killer buried underneath seemed to have no strength left to move. And as that blood gradually seeped into the sand...

Suddenly, within Ye Fan's line of sight, the originally flat sand on the ground suddenly surged and rippled. Then, a sandbag quickly rose from the ground, getting higher and higher! The quicksand rolled, as if something was drilling up from beneath the sandbag!

Seeing this scene, including Kunka beside him, the faces of these blacks were all tinged with a subtle fear. Even Kunka's bloated face, and the muscles in his eye corners trembled slightly.

It seems that even Kunka fears this kind of punishment. This is just watching it being inflicted on others, let alone the person enduring it.

How terrible that must have been.

It seemed like a long time, but it was only a dozen seconds or so. The sandpile grew higher and higher. Ye Fan stared intently at the mound, and when it reached about half a meter high, finally, there was a rustling sound, and the sandbag collapsed! What was inside crawled out...

At this moment, Ye Fan heard a gasp of astonishment, even the warlord leader Kunka was no exception, letting out a hissing intake of breath. Among the guards, even some black soldiers couldn't help but let out a low exclamation in their native tongue.

Although Ye Fan didn't understand the local dialect, he could still hear the rhythm of their words...

"Kululu!!"

After the top of the sand dune collapsed, a black, dense mass surged out like a spring, filling the hollow. At the same time, there was a sound—a whooshing, hissing noise that sent chills down your spine...

The several black people around Ye Fan seemed to be so scared that their legs went weak, and their faces turned pale.

What could possibly cause even Kunka to change his expression Ye Fan felt a bit puzzled. He furrowed his brows and looked closer, only to realize that the black tide-like thing surging up from the ground was actually a massive swarm of ants!

These ants were much bigger than the little guys he usually saw! Standing on the rock and looking down, with a simple glance, these ants were as big as a person's thumb. Even the smallest ones were as big as a fingernail!

As soon as a single ant crawled out, a massive swarm of ants emerged from the ground. They poured out in waves, forming a tide across the crimson sands. Then they began to disperse, with some charging towards the surrounding ring of fire...

At this time, the black people around Ye Fan were all nervous, but fortunately, these ants were stimulated by the fire moon around them. And the smell of burning strange grass seemed to frighten these ants. Soon, the ants retreated. The ants in the field rushed in several directions, but none of them broke through the circle of fire...

It turned out that the strange, dried grass surrounding them was to prevent ants from climbing out. Ye Fan had never seen these ants before and didn't know how terrifying they were. However, one could tell from the black man's face just how afraid they were of the ants, even more so than death.

As if conjuring the very thought, at that precise moment, the assassin buried in the sand on stage let out a howl of agony so piercing it could shatter glass!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Finally, some ants had reached his face, almost unimpeded. These ants quickly crawled onto his exposed chest, neck, and head...

Ye Fan suddenly heard a strange sound, like a child grinding his teeth. When he looked again, the poor assassin's head was covered with ants! His already rotten body struggled violently, and his screams grew louder and louder...

It's no wonder that Kunka scoffed when he heard himself mention human skin. To be slowly devoured by African cannibal ants, the mere sound of their biting could drive anyone insane, let alone the itching and the pain of being consumed.

Ye Fan took a deep breath and finally understood why these black people felt a distinct fear when they saw these ants. These were warriors who had experienced life and death, and they were actually afraid of these ants, which showed just how terrifying they were.

"Could this be the human-eating ant" Ye Fan took a deep breath, his face changing involuntarily. After looking at it for a few moments, he turned to ask Kunka Daoh.

"This is indeed a species of army ants... but it's special." Kunka wore a cold expression, his eyes flashing with cruelty: "In our tribe, we call them 'Kuluku'... the most terrifying thing imaginable. No living creature in Africa dares to provoke army ants. Our warriors can slay beasts, but no one can stand against these vast swarms of army ants! Hmph, they eat anything. Look..."

Having said that, Kunka casually picked up a dry branch from beside the rock and threw it down...

Soon, the dry twigs fell into the ant hill and were eaten clean in almost no time! Not even a scrap was left behind!

The assassin in the middle of that sand pit was beyond recognition. But what puzzled Ye Fan was that these ants didn't immediately devour him, but rather seemed to cover him layer by layer...

From afar, his body seemed to be covered with a layer of murky black stuff that was slowly wriggling... wriggling...

"Strange, eh" Kunka seemed to swallow hard, forcing a smile. "These 'Kulukas' are different from other kinds of man-eating ants... luckily different! These things only like to live under this red sand. Otherwise, if they were to migrate everywhere... then where would my army dare stay here and mine And even so, you see that ditch over there" He gestured with his chin. "With that ditch, my soldiers can sleep easier."

Ye Fan felt a sense of unease. He knew that the next scene would be the most terrifying one he had ever witnessed. Because several of the black guards in Kunkka's retinue were turning their heads away uncomfortably, seemingly unwilling to see what was about to happen.

It seems that something extremely terrifying is about to happen.

And Kunka, the fat on his face was trembling visibly, and the expression that flickered at the corners of his mouth truly held a cruel air, or perhaps an extreme satisfaction with this punishment.

Ye Fan glanced a few times, seeing that the person seemed to be still wriggling. He couldn't help but ask, "What are they doing now"

"You... take a closer look." Kunta's facial muscles twitched, and he managed a strained smile.n't dare jump to conclusions either."There are no mechanisms here at all, yet this giant iron plate clearly moved because of a mechanism," Ye Fan kept pondering back and forth, "Unless the mechanism i...
