Chapter 15: The White Lair
The tiger and tigress settled in the campfire where we had fought the rabbits while I was asleep. The bodies of the three female classmates were buried by them www.biquge.info they found a place to bury them, and the bodies of the rabbits were also cleaned up. Although some blood stains can be faintly seen on the ground, the previous scene will still appear in front of you more or less. Still, the grassland returned to its usual calm.
I followed the tigress along the vast grassland, and before I knew it, it was getting dark. When I first woke up, the sun shining on my face was at the end of the day, and I slowly hid into the sea level, and the distant sky was reflected in the afterglow.
Last time, it was late at night, and I didn't take a good look at this grassland, but now I realize that after all, it is still just spring, and the new grass of the grassland has not yet grown, and it still retains the breath of winter, and only the green of the star-like new grass seedlings is dotted on this bare yellow grassland.
"Right up front here, there's some headache guys out there."
The tigress led me to the junction of the grassland and the forest, stopped, pointed ahead and said to me.
"Guys?"
As soon as I heard these two words, my body that had just woken up and was still a little lazy instantly became nervous again. Think of the vicious dog in front of you, the giant rabbit. As long as there are living things on this broken island, none of them are really good masters. All of them have brought us a lot of trouble, and will seriously destroy us, the flowers of the motherland, deprive us of our lives, and make us lose the great mission of thriving and serving the motherland in the future.
"Be quiet as you walk by, don't draw their attention."
After the tigress had said a few words to me, she walked lightly forward, finding as smooth a path as possible, avoiding even the branches scattered on the ground as far as she could, unlike when we used to walk in the forest, with such a big crackle and casualness.
I don't know what it is, but when I saw the tigress like this, I had to follow her.
"It's not there yet, how long will it take?"
I walked in a posture of the whole person, maybe a little nervous, so that people felt a little tired after not walking a few steps. It's strange to say, in Jing Che's memory world before, he was trapped in the labyrinthine steps for a long time, and in the end, because of hunger and constantly wandering on the steps for a long time, the whole person sat on the ground like a broken frame. Unexpectedly, after I returned to the real world, I still felt hungry and weak. It's like the body that appears in the world of memory is the body in my current reality.
"How much do you go, and you can't do it? Have you slept for days and haven't slept enough? Those of us who haven't closed our eyes for days to take care of you sleepy worms haven't spoken, and you're still complaining? ”
When the tigress saw me like this, she didn't sympathize, but sneered. I was so angry that I really wanted to ignore the guy in front of me for the time being, and just argue with her in the same place, but unfortunately I was hungry, and a series of "grunting" sounds sounded from my stomach, "betraying" me. I had to stand there in embarrassment, looking at the tigress with a somewhat helpless expression.
"Inside, I said, I haven't eaten for several days, I'm a little tired, it's not normal for people to have no strength...
"Alas, I forgot to feed you some food. Then I'll understand you."
"What do you mean to feed ?!!!?"
The tigress smirked, took out two carrots from her pocket and threw them to me, "You can eat the carrots first, those rabbits before, when I was cleaning up their corpses, I accidentally found that there was an area on this grassland that should be their nest, they still seem to be the same as those cute little rabbits we saw, vegetarian, they have a large carrot planted next to their nest." It seems that rabbits can't change to eating carrots. I've washed them all and just eaten them. ”
Looking at the carrot in my hand, I was quite surprised, it turned out that the tigress's evil smile actually treated me as a pet, thinking about the cheap expression when she threw me the carrot, in the past, I would definitely not eat it, and I would never let her "ugly" face succeed. However, since the current situation is relatively special, and the stomach has been "rebellious" for a long time, I had to ignore her, sit honestly in place, and become a beautiful man quietly gnawing on carrots.
"Why are you so pathetic when you come back?"
While I was nibbling on a carrot, Jing Che suddenly appeared beside me, sat beside me with me, looked at me and said with a smile.
"You? Why did you come out at this time? ”
I stopped chewing on the carrot and looked at him in surprise.
"Who are you talking to?"
The tigress saw me behind me and said something inexplicable, and turned her head to look at me.
I remembered that Jing Che said that only I can see him in this world, and the tigress must not see him. I perfunctorily said that she had misheard, and dispelled her suspicions.
After the tigress turned her head again, I lowered my voice and continued to ask Jing Che, "Why didn't you notify you when you came out?" Coming out out of nowhere will scare me, big brother! ”
"Haha, didn't I say I'm always there for you. It's good that you get used to it. I just see that you are going in that direction, come out to accompany you, and by the way, I can see the situation and give you some help. ”
"Could it be that the front thing is really as troublesome as the tigress said?"
"It's not just a headache, it's got their attention, and after being targeted by them, I'm afraid that if I want to get rid of them, I'll be in trouble, so I guess I can only do it."
"Really?"
I see that the tigress and Jing Che are all mysterious, as if they are selling passes, and they don't reveal them to me. I was suspicious, and I guessed they were deliberately trying to scare me, a weak man who had just woken up.
"Okay, don't think about it so much. I know what you're thinking. After eating your feed, keep walking, and it won't be long before you can see the true colors of those guys. ”
After Jing Che finished speaking, he got up and disappeared in front of my eyes again.
In the face of this past life that came and went without a trace, I can't do anything about him. Next time I have time, I must communicate with him, I can't always rely on my "soul form", from time to time to make a big change, in the long run, I am afraid that my fragile little heart will be scared by him Some big and small problems.
After gnawing the carrots in my hand, my stomach is indeed full of a lot, no wonder those rabbits can grow so huge, these carrots look similar to the size of ordinary vegetable markets, but after eating two, they are really full, more filling than ordinary carrots.
After a little rest, and letting my stomach digest the food that had just gone down, I got up again. The tigress saw that I had almost solved my physiological problems, and continued to lead the way.
"Stop, look! That's the one ahead! ”
After continuing some further in the forest, the tigress stopped on a hillside, and instead of going on, she stopped, stopped me, and pointed to a place not far below.
I followed her in that direction and looked down.
Through the shade of the trees growing intricately in the middle, I vaguely saw white mounds standing on the flat ground, and the color of the flat land was also unusual from the next one, in those white "mounds", the ground was also white, in stark contrast to the earthy yellow ground next to it.
I took a step or two forward, trying to see better.
Just a few steps forward, I clearly saw that the "mounds" were not mounds, but protruding, wrapped in white filaments, forming a huge oval-shaped object. And those white grounds, there are also many white filaments interlaced on the ground, making the ground look white from a distance.
"Look over there!"
The tigress seemed to have noticed something, and hurriedly pulled me by the hand and made me look over there.
Near the white ground, there were a dozen or so black figures swaying back and forth. It kept moving from side to side, extremely fast, densely packed, as if looking for something.
My gaze found the nearest black figure, and when I saw the true face of this figure, I was really surprised, I didn't expect to see these things!
The guy, with eight curved and segmented legs, supported a ball-like belly, and a pair of vicious fangs peeking out of its huge mouth. Eight legs were constantly moving on the ground, and the head and thorax were covered with dorsal armor and chest plates, just like a mighty general in black armor, walking arrogantly on the road.
"Those... Isn't it a spider?! ”
I looked at the guys down there, and the way they looked, my first instinct was that they were spiders. Having said that, these guys are several times larger than what I usually know, just like the vicious dogs and giant rabbits before them. These spiders looked like they weren't as exaggerated as a rabbit, which was a head taller than a man, but they were roughly estimated to be five or six basketball-like sizes.
"It looks like a spider, but it's too big..."
The tigress also squeaked, and it was the first time I had seen her so hesitant, without her previous vigorous style.
"Big C, these spiders are unusual."
As she spoke, the tigress found a small branch from the ground, "searched" it, and threw it at the spiders.
The spiders were not frightened by the sudden arrival of something, but when they heard the movement, they quickly gathered towards the place where the branch had fallen. A dozen or so spiders gathered together, and the area was instantly covered by a black "tide". After a moment of commotion, the spiders dispersed again. The previous calm was restored, and the neighborhood was "wandering" around again.
"Look."
The tigress showed me where the branches had fallen, and they weren't as thick as the branches, but they were about the thickness of my arms. After alarming the spiders, the branch was instantly "dismembered" and scattered on the ground in several small pieces.
Seeing this scene,I can't help but break out in a cold sweat.,These spiders are really aggressive.,Slightly disturbing their "walk" thing.,It's punished like this.,If it's not a branch.,It's me.,I guess I'm just a skeleton left by these guys in an instant.。。
"See how fierce these little ones are."
"Wow!"
Jing Che appeared next to me again without warning, and suddenly a sentence came out of nowhere, and I was startled by the fact that I was all focused on those spiders.
I took advantage of the internal urgency to walk away from the tigress and to the side. Jing Che also followed me.
"Why did you come out so suddenly!"
"I thought I just said hello to you, you should be prepared. Scares you again? ”
"Nonsense, it's a person who scares it, okay?"
"Okay, okay, my question."
"Forget it, don't talk about that, what's going on with those spiders."
"Well, I call them killer spiders, they are very ferocious by nature, they are not vegetarians, and they are only looking for some animals on this island to eat. The vicious dogs you met before, the giant rabbits that hurt you, if those animals go to trouble these spiders alone, they will only be solved by these spiders in an instant, and they will be eaten in their stomachs. ”
"These spiders are so troublesome, do you have to bypass them and go to the other side of the mountain?"
"This, I can only regret to tell you, this direction is the only way to go to the mountain, and the other directions are just dead ends, and you have to go around this side in the end."
"But I might be able to deal with a dog or a rabbit before, and how to deal with these spiders in swarms. And they are here, blocking the road, it is impossible to sneak over and expect them to be a thousand degrees of myopia and astigmatism and not see us. ”
Just as Jing Che and I were talking, there was a restless sound behind me. And the tigress was embarrassed at this time, and ran towards me in a panic.
"Big C! Come on! ”
"It seems that those spiders have spotted you, and these spiders will be eyeing everything that they find active. Run! Run in that direction."
As soon as Jing Che finished speaking, I also noticed that behind the tigress running hurriedly, there was indeed a surging black "tide" - more than a dozen spiders who were still leisurely walking below just now were following the tigress at this time, attacking in our direction.
"Why are you still standing stupidly! Run! ”
The tigress quickly ran in front of me, and when she saw that I was still standing in place, she said anxiously, and grabbed me with her hand, and I was so taken by her, my legs unconsciously stepped up, and ran with her.
"Run over there!"
Running, I pointed in the direction that Jing Che had just told me, and the tigress didn't say anything, just ran with me over there.
I didn't have time to look behind me, only the deafening sound of restlessness kept ringing behind me, just like the Qiantang River every year when the tide rises, the tide is like thousands of horses, surging, but the picture of this sound is not as beautiful as the tide of the Qiantang River.
"There's a house over there!"
We ran out of the forest full of weeds and thorns, and came to a clearing that we had never found before, and in front of us there was a row of wooden houses!
And beside the house, several figures were walking around.
"Great! Someone can help us! ”
