Chapter 158: Danger Under the Desert
Until the evening of the sixth day, everyone was still as usual, this time it was Zhou Yu and Huang Yulong who were keeping vigil. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The stars in the sky were gone, and drops of rain fell, and everyone was very happy. They didn't have much water, just enough to catch some rainwater, and took out all kinds of utensils that could hold water and put them outside.
The rain was heavy and rapid, and it didn't take long for the utensils to be full. The rain comes and goes fast.
The guide said with a reverent face: "God bless! It's enough water for us to drink until it's time to go back. ”
"Oh no, the rain has put out the campfire." Zhou Yu said worriedly.
Everyone looked like it was really doused by the rain, and Huang Yulong didn't light it after a few clicks, "These branches are too wet to ignite!" ”
"Without a campfire, the devil won't come again!" Wang Liang said with some trembling, and the things that everyone wanted to forget were brought up by Wang Liang again. You look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to do.
"We've all gone far, we should be fine!" Professor Li said uncertainly.
"Go in and rest! I'm going to see if this devil is coming. Professor Zhang looked like he didn't believe in evil.
Huang Yulong said, "Professor Zhang, you are the team leader, and besides, you are also old, so let me come!" ”
"That's it! Lao Zhang, you better rest! Professor Li also said.
"It's better for me and Topaz Dragon to keep watch! The two of us should be fine together. Zhou Yu said.
"Oh well! Be careful. ”
When everyone went to rest, Xu Liang was in the tent and sensed the surroundings with his spirit, and nothing happened after an hour passed. Many people breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep.
Xu Liang was sure that there was no danger and withdrew his mental perception, and he was still wondering what made people disappear.
At this time, two screams came, and Xu Liang went outside in a flash. I saw Zhou Yu stupidly watching a hand on the ground sinking into the sand, Xu Liang hurriedly ran over and grabbed that hand.
A lot of strength was pulling that hand, but this bit of strength was the same as nothing for Xu Liang. Everyone also rushed out, and Xu Liang pulled that hand up hard.
Looking at Xu Liang's hand, they all gasped, Wang Liang sat on the ground even more frightened, and he stammered, "This, this, this, what's going on?" ”
Under the hand that Xu Liang pulled out was actually a white bone, only the arm still had flesh and blood. That hand also carried a watch, apparently Huang Yulong's.
Xu Liang sensed that under the desert, at a depth of more than ten meters, there were countless insects walking through the sand. It's a bit like a maggot, but it's twice as long as a maggot, it's dark brown, and the round mouthparts are full of sharp teeth, which should be these things that ate the topaz dragon, and the person who disappeared before. But Xu Liang didn't know this kind of bug.
Zhou Yu recovered from the shock, "I was talking to Huang Yulong just now, when suddenly a black-brown hand-like thing grabbed his foot, he screamed as if he was in pain, and his whole body was pulled into the sand. If Xu Liang hadn't come quickly and grabbed his hand, he would have been pulled into the sand. ”
Xu Liang sighed and said, "It's a pity that I still didn't save him." ”
Professor Zhang patted Xu Liang on the shoulder and said, "You have done a good job, but manpower is limited after all, and now we know that the danger comes from below." ”
Xu Liang controlled the nightmare qi from under his feet into the depths of the sand, crushing all the insects. He found that he would gain experience by killing these bugs, but Xu Liang didn't care so much, and controlled the nightmare qi to bring up the corpse of a bug. He pretended to have found something and picked up the insect corpse.
"What kind of bug is this? It seems to have been pulled up with the corpse of the topaz dragon. Xu Liang pretended to be puzzled.
"That's the color, the hand that grabbed the topaz dragon is the color." Zhou Yu said loudly.
Professor Zhang took it and looked at it, and said in surprise, "The legend is true, it's true." Legend has it that the holy worm that protects Garudus is a collective action that can pull a cow into the sand in an instant and eat it clean. ”
"And why is my camel okay?" The guide asked.
"This holy worm loves to eat people the most, and some people are not interested in other foods."
"So what are we going to do? Will they be attacking us. Zhou Yu asked.
"No, these things are cunning and only attack once a night, whether they succeed or fail."
Wang Liang said worriedly: "Then what are we going to do tomorrow?" ”
"Tomorrow there will be another bonfire, they are actually more afraid of fire."
It seems that this matter has ended here, and Professor Zhang added, "Since the appearance of this bug shows that our route is correct, we should be able to find Garudus soon." ”
This time, everyone was not very scared to find out what was going on, and went back to rest, but someone still had to keep vigil. Xu Liang stood up again, but this time Chu Han didn't accompany him, only himself, but Xu Liang didn't care.
Xu Liang felt that everyone's breathing was steady, and they all fell asleep. There was only one person who didn't sleep, and that was Chu Han, who seemed to be busy with something. Xu Liang glanced at it with his perception and found that Chu Han's hand had a special instrument.
His fingers kept pressing a few buttons on the instrument, and Xu Liang felt that this instrument should be like a telegraph, transmitting information. But who is Chu Han transmitting information to? And for what? This Xu Liang didn't know, and he couldn't care about it, his purpose was only to find the treasure of the gods.
Then he can leave this world, and it will not be necessary that this world will not be there at that time.
At dawn the crowd continued on their journey, and now there were ten people, and three camels were free to pull their luggage. According to the route of the map, they arrived at Garudus marked on the ground in the afternoon, but there was yellow sand all around, and there were no buildings at all.
There was only a small dry tree, standing alone in the desert.
"Could it be that the map is fake, that madman has never seen Garudus at all?" Professor Li was skeptical.
"Probably not, the legend is that the holy worms have appeared, how can it be fake?" Professor Zhang took out the map again and compared it, and found that it was indeed here.
He said to the people, "Let's all go down and find it!" This is the Garudus marked on the ground. ”
"Isn't it! There's nothing here, so what are you looking for! Wang Liang looked around and said.
Xu Liang also scanned the surroundings with his spiritual perception, and found that there was none, so he sensed the bottom again. But it made Xu Liang feel a little disgusting, there were all kinds of insects densely packed under more than ten meters, and the introduction could be said to be a sea of insects.
It's useless to be fired! If Garudus could not be found at night, the others would surely die.
