Chapter 686: Mothhopper Finding His Way
I was thinking about it when Bazhu suddenly let out an "oops" and slapped her head violently.
Zhu Meijuan hugged Bazhu and said worriedly: "Bazhu, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"
Wu Tian leaned against the wall of the cave and said weakly: "It's normal for Bazhu to be uncomfortable, how long have we been trapped in the cave, and we adults are uncomfortable, let alone Bazhu." ”
Bazhu excitedly dragged Zhu Meijuan and said, "Sister Juan, I'm not uncomfortable, I just forgot something very important." ”
Zhu Meijuan said suspiciously: "Have you forgotten something?"
Ba Zhu said: "I forgot that there are Gu worms in the bamboo tube left to me by Ma Xiang Ah Niang who can recognize the way, as long as the Gu worms are released, it will be able to lead us to find a way out." ”
Wu Tian was shocked: "Is it true, why didn't you say it earlier, causing us to go around here." ”
Bazhu scratched her head awkwardly and said, "Because I usually use it less, I didn't think about it at once." ”
Liu Xiaocai urged: "Sister Bazhu, since you have such a Gu worm, hurry up and take it out, what are you still doing in a daze." ”
Bazhu came back to his senses and took off a bamboo tube from his waist, pulled out the plug and recited the spell, only to see a bee crawling out of the bamboo tube, but this bee is not the same as the ordinary one, the waist is extremely thin like a toothpick, the bulging abdomen and the head are only connected by this waist, as if it is going to break at any time, Bazhu introduced that this is called a moth, which belongs to a kind of slender waist bee, with the instinct of finding the way, and the ability to find the way is stronger by the cultivation of Maxiang.
Bazhu said, "Sister Juan, your hair is longer than mine, can you give me a hair of yours?" The moth flies very fast, I have to tie it, otherwise we can't keep up with it." ”
Zhu Meijuan tore off a slender hair without saying a word, and Bazhu carefully tied her hair to the waist of the moth, saying, "You can only use your hair, otherwise the waist of the moth will have to be broken." ”
Driven by the Bazhu Sutra, the moth slowly spread its wings and flew up, and Bazhu led the moth in front to lead the way, and we followed closely behind.
After a while, Liu Guangquan said: "Miss Bazhu's Gu worm is indeed useful, the caves we are walking in at the moment are all the ones we haven't walked through just now, it doesn't seem to be a formation, but all the holes are almost blinding us, Lao Jinzi according to his habit of choosing the direction, coincidentally chose a circular route." ”
Old Jin Zi said guiltily: "I'm sorry everyone, I tried my best, who knows ......." ”
Zhu Meijuan comforted: "Old gold, don't think about it, we don't mean to blame you." ”
Liu Guangquan realized that he didn't pay much attention to what he said, and hurriedly said: "Old gold, don't get me wrong, I don't blame you, it will be the case if someone leads the way, we all have inertial thoughts, if there is a way forward, most people will not choose the left and right roads to go, don't think about it." ”
Old Jin Zi smiled shyly.
Led by the moth, we quickly found the exit, which seemed to be glowing faintly and there was a loud buzzing sound.
When we first entered the cave, we were attacked by Gu bats, which made us feel uneasy, and this time we didn't dare to rush in, and everyone stopped at a position about ten meters away from the exit.
Wu Tian muttered, "It's so strange, how can there be fluorescence in this?"
Everyone was also puzzled, Liu Xiaocai said: "This is not normal natural light or artificial light, it seems to be a cold light source." ”
Zhu Meijuan seemed to realize something, but she couldn't say it for a while, Bazhu had already reacted and said: "This is the light emitted by the flame insects! The flame insects like to survive near the water and in the humid environment, and these caves are wet, which is exactly the living environment that the flame insects like." ”
"Flame Bug?" Zhu Meijuan said curiously.
Bazhu said: "It is what everyone often calls fireflies, and we call this kind of insect flame bugs." ”
Everyone realized when they looked at the fluorescence at the entrance of the cave, it was indeed like the fluorescence emitted by fireflies.
Liu Xiaocai thought for a while and said, "Sister Bazhu, as far as I know, there is no sound for fireflies to fly, so what is this huge buzzing sound, do you know?"
Bazhu nodded and said, "Well, this buzzing sound is familiar to me, it is the sound of a large number of bees gathering together and flapping their wings, and the moths may have followed the movements of their own kind, which led us here." ”
Wu Tian swallowed his spit and said: "This is troublesome, the moth did not take us to find the way, but took us to find its companions, how can there be so many bees in this place, eighty percent of them are Gu bees cultivated by Gu King Dajiu, if they are stung by Gu bees, it will definitely be more harmful than Gu bats." ”
Ba Zhu said: "Brother Wu Tian, the moth will not find the wrong path, this may be the only way out." ”
I frowned and said, "Since it is the only way out, then you have to go out and break through whatever you say, and everyone should take protective measures to avoid being stung by Gu bees." ”
Liu Xiaocai shook his head and said: "Listening to the voice, the number of Gu bees is very large, useless, so many Gu bees are useless to take any protective measures, unless it is the kind of isolation suit with a mask, Gu bees are no better than Gu bats, they are too small, they can penetrate everywhere, they can drill into the body along the neckline of the cuffs, and the sting will be over." ”
Liu Xiaocai is right, we suddenly fell into a dilemma, there is a labyrinthine chain of holes behind the retreat, and we risk being stung by Gu bees when we enter the bar, but in contrast, only by moving forward can we find a way out and find Maxiang and Du Yong, so we have to take this risk anyway.
Ba Zhu took out a paper bag from the back basket at this time, and after opening it, there were some tea-like herbs inside, Ba Zhu said: "Don't worry, we don't need to wear any protective clothing, as long as I mash this medicine and add water to stir it into juice and apply it on my body, Gu bees don't dare to get close when they smell this smell." ”
"What kind of herb is this?" asked Liu Xiaocai.
Bazhu shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's Maxiang A-Niang, we Miao people live in the mountains all the year round, I will go into the mountains to collect medicine, it is inevitable to encounter a hornet's nest or something, so Maxiang A-Niang gave me this herb, it works very well, what to smear on the body doesn't matter what kind of bees, as long as it is a bee dare not get close, I have never been stung by bees since I was a child." ”
Wu Tian was surprised: "So powerful?!, then quickly get it up and apply it to your body." ”
Bazhu immediately mashed the herbs, then poured water out of the pot and stirred, the herbs emitted an unpleasant and pungent smell, like some kind of plaster, let alone bees, and even people didn't want to get close to it.
After Bazhu was ready, we applied the herbal juice to our bare skin and clothing, and we all rolled out of mud except for the joy god, and when we were ready, we adjusted our breathing and slowly leaned towards the exit together.
