Chapter 21: Fire Earthworms
Because I was overly frightened just now, I still have palpitations, I just hope to hurry up to dawn, and leave this ghost place as soon as possible, even if I stay in the ancient tomb, it is much stronger than this place, but this world is so realistic, I looked at my watch, not fast or slow, it was exactly half past ten in the evening.
When I was about to close my eyes, there was a rustling sound from outside the cave, like the sound of silkworms eating mulberry leaves, and I didn't have to think about it to know that the group of things must be Huanghuang, but this kind of insect still likes places with lights, and the cold wood quickly extinguished the candles, and sprinkled some insect repellent powder at the entrance of the cave just in case.
But I thought again in my heart, eat, eat, the more you come, the better, there are no bones and eye beads left for the best food, and I have the ability to lick the blood clean, lest I dare not come out of the hole the next day, and Leng Mu will look down on me in his heart.
Because the cave was too dark, and there were a group of skeletons all around, I really didn't want to sleep when I shrank next to the cold wood, although I rested late for the past two days, I still didn't feel much sleepy, and sighed slightly, "Hey! You said...... I don't know what those snakes think, even if they want to die more completely, why do they choose to eat themselves? ”
He said coldly, "It's their own choice. ”
"What do you mean?"
He looked ahead and said expressionlessly: "It's the same reason that you can live a stable life until you are born, old, sick and die, but you choose to come here to find death." ”
"You!" Originally, I was aggrieved enough, but when he said this, I was angry enough, so I simply pushed him away, and I didn't go over the head angrily.
After being stunned for a moment, he explained: "In fact, many people have encountered similar incidents, because the existence of parasites in the snake's body causes it to be forced to devour itself, in fact, it is completely understandable, the key to the problem is that the snake has no hands and feet." ”
If I think about it, let's say there's a flea bouncing on you. You have to reach out and tickle it, and if you don't want to live yourself, you can cut your wrists with your hands and jump off cliffs with your legs. But for snakes, the only quick way is to eat themselves.
I finally felt better, sleepy and tired, I leaned on his shoulder and quickly closed my eyes.
Luckily, I slept until dawn, and I didn't know what was going on at night. Or what happened to Leng Mu, only to know that when he opened his eyes again, a group of dried corpses in the cave were gone, he supported his forehead with one hand, looking very tired, and when he realized that I had woken up, he quickly stood up, "You are awake." ”
"Hmm."
Then when he was about to pick up his backpack and leave, I stopped him, "You look emaciated." Would you like to take a break a little longer? ”
"Not necessarily."
In fact, I also understand his thoughts, now the fat uncle their fate is on the verge of death, they may mutate at any time, when I sleep at night, he has to mention the twelve points of spiritual vigil, if I guess correctly, he must have spent the night with that group of dry corpses last night, in this place where the mountains are full of strange insects, plus we have brought a little closer to this cave, it is strange not to change the corpse. If a bug doesn't get in, the corpse will be controlled.
Even he was like this, and I couldn't grind anymore, so I picked up my backpack and followed out. Looking at the ground outside the cave, I asked suspiciously, "How many man-eating pythons killed each other last night?" "Is it all a dream?
Leng Mu nodded and gave me an undoubted look, and it turned out that my idea had come true, and the group of Huang Huang had eaten not even a single bone or eye bead, and had licked all the blood on the ground. It can be seen that this group of wolves is basically no different from hungry wolves, and even more terrifying than hungry wolves!
I can't care so much about it, anyway, let's get out of here first, of course, you have to be careful on the road, otherwise you will bump into them, no matter how powerful the two of us are, we will be gnawed by them to the point that there is not even a bone left, you can't rely on aphrodisiac incense every time, right?
Yesterday Coca led us into an old forest and disappeared, and now the cold wood still carried me back to the original position, fortunately the light here is not very dark, I pay attention to all around, there are all kinds of colorful strange insects, fortunately the size is not very large, but it is difficult to say whether a bite can be fatal.
At first, I had doubts that she was trying to take my life, but if I think about it, she shouldn't be so stupid, after all, what are the three advantages and two disadvantages of us, and those tomb maps and her plan to use cold wood are all gone?
But she brought us here, but it was really incredible, what did she want to do, not to mention that when I thought of the fat uncle who was closed, I couldn't calm down to speculate about her psychology, I just wanted to catch that woman quickly, and it was better to hand over some antidote to us, that's it.
Yesterday at about this location, I heard the sound of water running nearby, if in the location of the cave, we are as cold as early autumn, then in this location it is definitely the height of summer, the old forest is filled with a fluctuating mist, but the surroundings are surprisingly quiet, as if except for me and Leng Mu, no living person has set foot in this place, I, who have long been accustomed to caution, immediately covered my nose, "Are these fogs poisonous?" ”
"It's fine."
I breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the distance and said, "There are ancient trees all around, there is really nothing to study, but there seems to be the sound of water flowing not far away, do you want to go over and have a look." ”
He stared suspiciously in the direction I was pointing, and said thoughtfully: "Go." ”
I didn't take a few steps, but I found a lot of red earthworms on the ground, like a ball of lines, densely spread all around, I had goosebumps all over my body again, I pointed to the wriggling things on the ground and asked, "This is a poisonous earthworm, right?" ”
"Hmm."
I can guarantee that when we came here yesterday, there were absolutely no of these things here, and when we took 10,000 steps back, there were no red earthworms on the ground when we came here just now. ”
He didn't answer my question, but casually sprinkled some powder in the earthworm pile, and the poisonous earthworms around him were like a tide, and they were gathered in a flood, and I pointed to the powder and asked, "What is that?" ”
"Phosphor powder."
I was surprised and asked, "Huh?" Do they like to eat this? ”
Then he sprinkled a large piece of phosphorus powder not far away, and the red earthworms on the side gradually split a road, and he dragged me to quickly bypass these earthworms, and I asked as I walked, "What kind of earthworm is this?" Fetishes are special. ”
"Fire earthworms."
But when it comes to their love of phosphophosphor powder, I am not surprised in this deep mountain and old forest, I don't know how many human bones are buried in these long-abandoned soils, and the decaying organic matter in those bones contains phosphospho powder, if they grew up on this, it is not surprising.
