I felt grounded when I was on the ground, and my left hand had lost its instinct and hung on my shoulder as if it were boneless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEveryone rests against the mountain wall. I also took some food out of my backpack and gave it to them. We needed to replenish our strength, even though I didn't tell them it was the last ration.

In the long dark night, panic will always be infinitely magnified. For example, at this moment, I look at the place where the glow stick was lit......

"Do you say it's alive or dead?" I said quietly, not loudly, but the uncontrollable tremor was all the more frightening when it permeated the night.

On a rocky flat ground with a thick layer of soil and biological feces, lies a white arc that can only be partially glimpsed. Looking more clearly, there are obvious skin-like folds on it, and you can feel a slight transparent tremor inside.

For some reason, I became more and more afraid of the familiar. And this thing makes me feel very familiar.

"It's an old friend." Xiangjiang smiled bitterly. Xiangshui raised his arm, holding the dagger with slightly broken teeth, and pursed his lips tightly. Keep your eyes focused. Believe me, as long as I give the order, he will dare to fight this thing in close combat.

The three of us were in such a stalemate with this thing that no one dared to step forward, but no one laughed at each other. In this case, if you want to say that you are not timid, I think only Mu Xiaoyu is the only one.

Speaking of which I haven't heard from him for so long, I wish he could be here in a time of crisis. The terrible psychology of human dependence.

"I suddenly regretted it." The little guy in Xiangshui has been in a state of elevation, and for such a long time, he is also sore, and he can vaguely see the stiffness of his arm.

"What is there to regret, you have to feed the bugs. It's all the same. Xiangjiang waved his hand to wipe his sweat, but he could see it.

It's so close, and if we want to say something familiar, it's just the bug, but it's slightly larger, and the arc in our visual range is only a short part of it. I didn't want it to be alive, but the fluff fluttered rhythmically with my skin and made me believe it.

But it did not actively attack. I remembered what Mu Xiaoyu once said, "Whoever of you two is sure to kill it, I know the approximate location of its weakness." But it wasn't easy. ”

"It's not a question of killing or not killing." Xiang Jiang frowned, "What if I kill it and attract other people of the same kind?" We all knew it wasn't going to be the same here. ”

He's right.

We made eye contact. Everyone is on the same page.

Back at the base of the wall, the three of them clinged to the rock wall, trying not to make a loud noise, and just moved away little by little.

I felt that I couldn't see the insect anymore, but I found that the cliff behind me began to become less monotonous, and the places that touched the back and touched the hands were the roots of many plants. Some white, finely textured shell-like fragments also began to appear on the ground. As I walked forward, more and more, even the fragments became larger and larger, like several layers of filamentous white shells.

Odd?

Xiangjiang suddenly stepped on something, and there was a "flutter". He lifted his foot and gasped. And it's related to those bugs, which are their shells. Where they were born.

It's so thick, how many of these worms are there? Or, how long have these bugs been here?

I remember that they ate the large-headed sacrifices with runes carved on them. So what have these bugs lived on for so many years? My mind was a mess, "There are so many shells here, why can't I see the whole thing." "Actually, it's a shell, it's more like a cocoon.

Cocoon? Could it be a cocoon? Yes, in the mural, there are a lot of insect cocoons in the place where those people are escorted. The cocoons are in the air in the painting.

"Brother, Sister Feizi, look up there, look inside the roots of the trees above the cliff."

With a flash of effort, Xiangshui ran ahead alone.

Hearing his shout, Xiangjiang and I jumped over the intact fragments and walked towards Xiangshui. Following his flashlight, he saw a cave in the cliffs overhead, wrapped in roots and vines, each of which was inlaid with a cocoon. Thousands, thousands, countless. The scene was quite spectacular. Some of the caves are empty, probably the ones that fell.

"What the hell is this place? Brother, do you know anything and didn't tell me? Xiangshui's expression was a little lost. Seeing so many strange things, it is impossible not to doubt it. It's not easy to wait until now to ask.

Xiangjiang was silent for a while, and said, "It's nothing, don't think about it." ”

I also want to know, but I can't help it if he doesn't say it. The atmosphere was awkward. I could only pat Xiangshui on the shoulder to express comfort. I was trying to fool those people, and I didn't know the real situation.

Everyone kept silent and walked forward.

I paid close attention to the observation, this road walking on both sides of the cliff is also 2 kilometers, not to mention to the end, even the cocoon hole above the head did not go out.

"We seem to be walking back." is not an interrogative sentence, Xiangjiang's sentence is an affirmative sentence. He looked at the area not far ahead, which was illuminated by glowsticks.

Xiangshui was standing 5 meters away from us at the moment, hanging far away. Keep your head down. Nothing to say. Probably the child has an awkward heart, and I can only think so. I couldn't help but sigh.

In this situation, the head is on the belt of the trousers, and the most important thing is to find the right path first.

With our current physical strength, it was unrealistic to walk another lap, and I sat on the ground panting and sitting on my ass. The bug hasn't woken up since now. I guess it won't move for a while.

"There's a risky way, but it's the last resort for our current situation." Xiangjiang said a little dignified, but faintly excited.

I just sat on the ground and listened, and my strength was not enough to keep up.

"Remember the cocoon cave? Some of them are empty. From there, I felt like there was a passage inside. I couldn't see it clearly, but I felt it was accurate. You think, since those insects can make a hole inside, they must crawl through it first, because of gravity, their weight is difficult to support, so there must be a passage inside, but what kind of passage, I dare not guarantee. This is also where I feel the risk is involved. The more he talked, the more excited he became. It's a risky thing to do, but I mean, if there were living bugs in those caves, it would be difficult for us to fight or dodge in a confined space.

However, there is no good way to do it right now.

The three of us tugged at the vines, took three steps and did two steps, and soon reached the top. The vines on the cliffs here are dense and not difficult to climb. The difficulty is how to get over the cocooned caverns to the empty caverns.

With my feet on the vine and my body bent backwards, I couldn't use one of my hands, and climbing like this put a bit of a burden on me. The fine beads of sweat on my head quickly poured out, covering my eyes with pain. I finally arrived at the nearest empty cave, and before I had time to breathe a sigh of relief, I found that it was straight up. How do you climb this?

Xiangjiang smiled and said a little provocatively, "You haven't climbed a tree at first glance." ”

"What does this have to do with climbing trees?" Unconvinced, I muttered. Watching him climb up quickly in a way that I thought was unbelievable but extremely clever. Xiangshui followed, and the two brothers were really ......

I drew the gourd in the same way, propped my hands on the wall, and then my feet on the wall. Then you push hard, move up by inertia, and then quickly hold the wall again.

Although I have slowly progressed, this method is really a double load on the body and mind. I didn't even dare to stop, I didn't dare to look down. The fear of falling as soon as I stop has always spurred me on and kept me going.

"If this passage is longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to climb up." Holding the edge of the passage and looking back at the road I had just climbed, I felt palpitations.

We are now at a bend in the straight down passage. There are many forks in the tunnel. What we have to do is find a way into the tomb or an exit from these paths.

There was no obvious direction in the passages, so I swept back and forth with a flashlight and said, "If you look at these passages, there are only three places that lead, one is that there are insect cocoons. Second, there is no cocoon. Third, it is the relatively correct path for us. As he spoke, he took out the map in his backpack, "The irradiation range of the flashlight, if there are no reflective objects, you can see 5 or 6 meters, and it may be better with reflective objects, but it is only 7 or 8 meters." It's not too close, and it's a little more relaxed. ”

"So you mean make a mark for every road you take." He nodded, that is, in agreement, "There is a bit of delay in time, but the safety is much higher." ”
