Chapter 36: The Insect Tide

"What's the situation ahead?" Shi Ming looked at the black shadow that was faintly moving under the roots of the tree, and subconsciously touched his head.

"Oh my God, is the ground a swamp, why is it still moving?" Shi Ming walked slowly towards the dark shadow.

The ground under the huge tree roots was so slippery that Shi Ming felt slimy under his feet, as if he was stepping on some slippery liquid.

"Damn!" Shi Ming's soles slipped on the soles of his feet, and the whole person fell to the ground in an instant, sliding quickly towards the huge tree roots.

The place where the huge tree roots were located was like a large crater, high on all sides and low in the middle, and the dense black shadows below were not real.

Shi Ming had already heard a dense gnawing sound as he approached.

The bottom of the pit stenched badly, and countless huge worms crawled around him, making bursts of noise.

Shi Ming only felt that his head was blank, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into the sea of insects, and the fishy smell made Shi Ming almost want to vomit.

Those huge and flexible tentacles kept dancing, constantly capturing the breath on Shi Ming's body.

They were confused by an innate sense of fear, as if an ancient ancestor had once crawled under that creature, and the huge worms moved away from Shi Ming, and a small clearing appeared beside Shi Ming.

Shi Ming saw that the worms were far away from him, and sat on the ground in horror, not daring to move at will for a while, only to see many worms passing by quickly.

"These big worms don't seem to be interested in me, so these insects shouldn't eat people. Shi Ming patted his chest and held the long black knife tightly in his hand.

Shi Ming tentatively moved forward, and those huge worms moved away from Shi Ming, and he suddenly remembered the strange monster beast he had encountered when he was sheltering the village.

"Could it be that I have some special secrets?" Shi Ming looked at the thick tree roots not far away, "Since they are all here, why don't you go over and see what is there, thanks to these insects seem to be afraid of me, otherwise I may have turned into a pool of blood." ”

Under the thick roots, Shi Ming looked up at the heights, "What kind of tree is this, it's so thick, it's thicker than the trunk on the ground." ”

Shi Ming carefully observed the thick tree roots, and saw that the ravines were covered with thick tree roots, as if the roots of the trees were twisted and growing together.

There was a black shadow on the thick tree roots, Shi Ming couldn't see it really, but the black shadow above suddenly moved, and a huge black shadow fell, instantly smashing Shi Ming to the ground.

Shi Ming felt like he was pressing a thousand pounds of boulder on his body, pressing heavily on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe and unable to scream.

Shi Ming only saw the hideous mouthparts facing him, and his body seemed to be pricked by countless needles, and the stinging pain was unbearable.

The huge mouthparts could easily swallow Shi Ming's head, and a fishy smell came, making Shi Ming almost faint.

Countless long tentacles squirmed out of the mouthparts, licking the blood scabs on Shi Ming's face, and a terrifying aura from the soul came instantly, and the huge and hideous worm actually fell into stagnation for a while, Shi Ming saw this and hurriedly inserted the black long knife in his hand into the huge worm's body.

A powerful devouring force came out of the black long knife, and the grasshopper that was much larger than the others of the same kind let out a hoarse roar, and many grasshoppers began to move wildly and hiss, but none of them dared to approach Shi Ming.

The sleeried figure instantly dried up, and Shi Ming felt that the weight on his back was rapidly decreasing.

A large amount of vitality and flesh essence qi was inhaled by the black long knife, and the vitality escaping from the wound was extremely thick, and it was like a dense smoke, which could not be dissipated.

The huge worm lost its breath, and Shi Ming pushed the worm away vigorously, slumped on the ground and gasped.

"Damn, I almost got crushed to death by this bug. Shi Ming only felt a hot pain coming from all over his body. Reaching out and touching it, the clothes on his back had rows of neat holes, thinking that the sharp limbs stepped on Shi Ming's body, piercing Shi Ming's clothes with many holes.

Blood flowed from the numerous wounds on his back, soaking Shi Ming's clothes.

Shi Ming hurriedly used the Qingqi technique, and a faint cyan vitality appeared at the wound, slowly healing the hideous wound.

The black long knife seemed to have lost its movement, Shi Ming pulled out the black long knife, and the surroundings were already densely crawling with worms, and there were more and more of them.

Shi Ming saw that this was wrong, so he had to struggle to climb towards the huge tree root, he wanted to lean on the tree root to rest for a while, but the huge tree root seemed to be illusory, Shi Ming's body fell, and the whole person disappeared into the huge tree root.

......

"I have insect repellent here, I don't know if it works. The old man took out a few packets of powder from his bosom.

"Didn't you understand what the hell this place is?" Yang Shihao said dissatisfiedly.

"This is only what I saw when I was looking through ancient books by chance, and I only found the entrance to the tree hole these days, and I don't know anything about the situation below, who would have known that this tree hole is so big. The old man said, looking at the many huge worms under the roots of the tree.

"Okay, okay, okay. Yang Shihao waved his hand, "With this medicine, we can go down, right?" ”

"Yes, it's just that when you use the insect repellent powder, most of your vitality will be imprisoned. The old man whispered.

At this moment, a terrible roar came, and the black image below was like boiling water, and it surged instantly.

Yang Shihao was slightly stunned, and then saw the black tide surging rapidly.

"This ...... What is this?" muttered Yang Shihao.

"Quick, sprinkle the powder on your body!" the old man was quick and sprinkled the powder on himself in an instant.

Yang Shihao was slightly stunned, and hurriedly took the medicine powder and sprinkled it on himself.

The worms surged over like a flood, and Yang Shihao and the old man climbed on the roots of the trees, watching the huge worms moving wildly under their feet.

"What's going on?" Yang Shihao looked at the group of worms below, and said in horror: "Can our medicinal powder hold up?"

"I don't know, what's going on up ahead?" the old man looked gloomily at the huge tree roots in front of him.

The swarm of worms moved frantically under Yang Shihao and the old man, the smell of the two was masked by the insect repellent disperse, and was not discovered by the swarm of grasshoppers, who just moved outside without a clue.

"Something must have happened, something must have happened?" the old man nervously looked at the black torrent below him.

"Old man, give me the medicine quickly!" Yang Shihao had already seen that some worms seemed to slow down, as if they were searching for something in confusion.

"The effect of this insect repellent powder is a little short. The old man gave Yang Shihao two more packs, "I'll just keep one pack." ”

"Damn, what the hell is this, why are there so many big worms. Yang Shihao looked gloomy, "It's really unlucky." ”

The old man looked at the group of grasshoppers below him and didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.

The effect of the deworming powder passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the old man had already sprinkled the last bag on his body, and when Yang Shihao was scattering the medicine, a worm crawled up, and the huge tentacles touched the wound on Yang Shihao's leg, Yang Shihao was in pain for a while, and the medicine powder fell to the ground without hand.

"!" Yang Shihao shouted that it was not good, and the effect of the medicine powder on his body had almost passed.

As if there was no end in sight to the swarm of worms, Yang Shihao felt desperate and subconsciously looked at the old man beside him.

"Uncle Leng. Yang Shihao called the old man softly, "Look below." ”

Uncle Leng was quite surprised, and subconsciously looked under him.

"Die, old thing!" Yang Shihao's hands were surging, and he was about to push the old man into the grasshopper group and find a way to survive for himself.

Uncle Leng's body protection vitality flickered, and with a flick of his backhand, he actually threw Yang Shihao down.

"Uncle Leng, I don't dare, Uncle Leng!" Yang Shihao shouted loudly, the vitality in his body seemed to be shackled, and he couldn't use it at all.

Uncle Leng poked his head out lightly and looked at Yang Shihao indifferently: "Young Master, do you really want to treat me as a pawn to be discarded at will? ”

Yang Shihao shook his head frantically, Uncle Leng's realm was much higher than his own, which made him unexpected, he originally wanted to get out of trouble, but he didn't expect to be embarrassed in the end.

"I don't dare anymore, Uncle Leng! For the sake of so many years, save me!" Yang Shihao tightly grasped Uncle Leng's withered right hand.

"Young master, don't worry. Uncle Leng showed a slight smile on his face, and Yang Shihao hurriedly laughed when he saw it.

Uncle Leng's hand suddenly let go, and Yang Shihao's body fell abruptly.

Yang Shihao's figure disappeared in an instant in the crazy swarm of worms.

By the time the swarm had dispersed, all that was left on the ground was a skeleton and a foul-smelling liquid.

Uncle Leng looked at the group of grasshoppers in the distance and sighed softly.

The swarm of worms under the huge roots of the tree had dispersed, leaving only the huge corpse of the worm, lying quietly in place.

Uncle Leng leaned over slowly, his expression instantly became solemn, and he hurriedly looked around.

"It's ...... "Uncle Leng squatted on the ground, carefully observing the shriveled corpse on the ground.

"...... was killed......" Uncle Leng looked at the knife edge on the worm's body, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

"Who!" Uncle Leng hurriedly got up, "Come out!"

No one responded, except for the sound of rustling behind the thick roots.

Uncle Leng wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, the vitality in his hand surged, and slowly walked behind the tree roots.

A worm with a mutilated body twitched on the ground, thinking that it was caused by being trampled by the same kind when the insect tide broke out just now, Uncle Leng casually threw out a vitality bomb and wiped out the worm in place.

This space seemed to be quiet immediately, there was no sound, only a burst of fishy smell reached Uncle Leng's nose, reminding Uncle Leng that this was still a meandering territory just now.

Uncle Leng looked up at the huge tree root, circled it several times, but didn't find the entrance, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a while.

"Could it be that the records of the ancient books are deceitful, but the entrance is real. Uncle Leng looked up at the height, "Could it be up there?"

Uncle Leng walked to the thick tree root, and was about to climb the tree root, when a suction force suddenly came, and Uncle Leng's hand reached directly into the thick tree trunk. Uncle Leng's whole body was pulled in instantly, just like the scene when Shi Ming disappeared.

There was a long-lost silence around the thick roots, as if nothing had happened.
