Traces on the ground tell me that Mina had been here, but something unexpected happened before it disappeared.

So where would she be now?

Standing at the point where the marks were last to disappear, I crouched down a little and my hands began to touch the ground. Strangely, the ground that had been hard before began to soften at this point, and the more I touched it, the more mud and dust there became, and my hands even gradually penetrated into it. At that time, I had a thought, will the seemingly flat ground in front of me swallow people up like quicksand?

"Uncle, do you use your hands directly? Why don't you change your knife......"

Yao Qianwen's words reminded me that this is not the first time I have made such a mistake.

However, just as I was about to pull out my hand from the sand, I suddenly felt something sharp under the sand pierce my palm! And hold it firmly!

"Oops!"

I pulled my hand out, and a strange shell-like insect the size of a palm attached to my palm.

It's a bone-dissolving worm!

"I'll just say! You're always like that...... What's that? Yao Qianwen pulled out my knife and prepared to pry the insect off.

"Don't move!" But I stopped me.

The venom of this thing is no worse than Zuo Yuan's blood Gu, and if you are not careful, you will be scratched by it, and it will be difficult for the immortals to save it at that time, unless you really give my insect poison to Yao Qianwen.

"What's wrong?"

"I've seen it, it's fine. But this thing is dangerous, you don't touch it. ”

"Huh? No, uncle, you see...... Look at the sand in front of you, how it's moving! Yao Qianwen suddenly pointed to the place in front of her where the traces disappeared and shouted.

As she had said, the sand in the area suddenly began to wriggle like a mire through which crocodiles passed.

The next moment, suddenly a large piece of bone-dissolving insects poured out of it and flew towards me! That's the amount like rain!

I knew the speed of this thing, so at the same time as they flew in, my body was alienated, I twisted my waist and turned around, knocking Yao Qianwen next to me into the air! At the same time, a large number of bone-dissolving insects have attached to my body.

"Ahh Yao Qianwen landed on the ground and cried out in pain.

It is estimated that this hit is not light, but this is also a helpless move, otherwise she will die here.

And I'm not going to be able to do it right now, there are too many bone-dissolving insects, and I'm so detained that I can't move. And the sand was still wriggling, and I didn't know what was going to be down there. I had no choice but to shout at Yao Qianwen: "Don't stay here, bring Zuo Yuan here!" ”

Yao Qianwen's face turned pale with fright, and she stood up and retreated, "Yes...... Yes, yes! ”

Turned his head and ran to the exit, but suddenly stopped, looked back at me, "Uncle, you...... You're not going to die, are you? ”

"No, it won't."

As soon as I finished speaking, a swarm of bone-dissolving insects from behind me rushed to the front and wrapped my whole body. Claws pierced into my skin, and worm venom injected into my body......

But listening to the voice, Yao Qianwen seemed to have crawled out.

Unlike the Demon Locusts, these Bone Worms are stronger and will use their collective numerical superiority to keep people in check, immobilizing. Although the first layer of worms had been killed by the insect poison I had evolved, the second layer came up immediately, and I don't know how long it took for me to finally crawl out of the mountain of debris.

But I'm not in a good mood.

All I was thinking about was the question, "Why are there so many?" ”

I've seen this insect before, but there was only one, and I suspected that it wasn't a collective action, unlike the Demon Locusts. The reason why large quantities are seen is only because of the absorption of nutrients to the human body and the crazy reproduction. And now that there are so many Bone Worms, perhaps, they have just killed a person.

Is it Mina......

I got up and fell into the sand in front of me, sinking half of my body into it. I dug down like crazy, I couldn't believe I had walked so far and she had been killed so easily.

"I still have questions to ask ......"

However, after digging up some sediment, it will sink again, allowing me to dig back to square one.

I don't know how long I've been digging, but suddenly I feel something sharp and invisible, behind my back, falling on me, making me very uncomfortable.

That feeling has always been there, but the mood swing just now made me ignore it.

It's what Yao Qianwen said about the feeling of being locked in the eyes of the hunter.

The movement of my hand stopped, and then I turned back a little. Look not behind you, but diagonally upward. The top of the stone chamber was dark, and it was impossible to see what it was made of, or what was there. But that feeling clearly came from that direction.

"Something is wrong......" At the same time, I seem to understand one thing.

The marks of the fight on the ground were not caused by the bone-dissolving insects. Although their individual strength is indeed not small, I have come into contact with them twice and understand that their offensive mode is a collective scattered jump and pounce, and it is impossible to concentrate their strength to one point. The impact of shattering the statue must have come from a large or powerful creature. At the very least, there should be an adult's body size.

Therefore, in this stone chamber, there are not only bone-dissolving insects.

And one more guy.

It's there!

It's the guy staring at me......

My body gradually began to dissolve, and I sensed that the thing had sensed that I had found him.

"Uh......"

I felt like I heard a low roar.

In the darkness above the stone chamber, a vertical eye loomed, it was huge and gloomy, as if there was a nightmare in the eye, and that eye was not something that should exist in this world.

There is a force, between us, that is constantly compressed.

At the moment, it has been compressed to the extreme.

It's going to explode!

The moment it explodes, maybe it will come, or maybe it will turn me to ashes.

But I don't want to go, and I can't.

The alienation was complete, and I arched my body, like a real worm, opened my mouth full of teeth, and spat out human words, "She, where is she?" ”

Sou!

The vertical eye contracted suddenly, slender as a silk thread, and at the same time, the invisible force between us, this moment finally reached the extreme!

It's exploded!

A top-down grinding force suddenly descends! I didn't see any opponents, but I felt that the bones in my body were about to be shattered in an instant! Bang! I supported the ground with my hands, and the hard skin that resembled an exoskeleton after the alienation had been shattered in large pieces.

What the hell is that?

I wanted to know, but the force was so overwhelming that I couldn't hold myself up, and I couldn't jump at him. Is it going to be crushed to death like this?

"Huh?"

Suddenly, I felt something tugging at me under the mud and sand on my hind legs!

It seemed to be a human hand, not big, but not small, and when she exerted her strength again, half of my body had been pulled into the mud and sand. The pressure on the body in the mud and sand decreases, but the upper body seems to be about to crumble!

Just when I was about to lose my support, that hand tugged at me again!

This time, I was completely dragged into the sand.

It was pulled a long distance, and then, the body was stuck, and there appeared to be a hole underneath. And that hand, it's still on my ankle.

She saved me.

Who is it?

My heart was beating fast and I had a guess in my mind......

"Are you going to be in Naka for the rest of your life?"

She spoke.

Mina's voice.
