Volume 2, The Lost Trail of the Sand Sea Chapter 139, The Strange Black Ball
"What's that?" Chen Tao looked at Haozi with a strange expression, and seeing that he was also at a loss, he turned his head and asked Ye Rong.
"Hey, do you know what that is?"
Ye Rong shook her head, stretched out her hand to brush away the broken hair in front of her, and frowned tightly: "I don't know, I've never seen such a strange thing." ”
The three of them looked at the bearded man and the others below, and saw that in the broken sand cover, a huge black ball was exposed, the surface of the black ball was uneven, covered with strange patterns, and under the light of the torch jumping, it reflected a strange ghostly light.
"Damn, it's such a big boiled egg!"
"Fuck you, how can it be a braised egg, can your chicken butt hold up so big?" Chen Tao's mind was full of black lines, and asked Haozi to pay attention to vigilance and stop talking nonsense.
The bearded people at the bottom also seemed to be stunned by the things in the sand cover, and they stood on the side one by one and watched for a long time, and a few of the bold ones touched it with their hands, Chen Tao looked at the few people who had touched the black ball and there was nothing strange in his heart.
Looking at the appearance below, it seems that the big black ball is not dangerous, but what about the strange sound that Chen Tao heard outside the sand cover?
Hay Morton poked the big black ball with the muzzle of his gun, and saw that the big black ball didn't move, and then asked several other people to push it a few times, but the big black ball didn't move at all.
Through the gap in the crowd, Chen Tao could see that most of the big black ball was buried in the sand table underneath, and only a small part was exposed.
On the other side, a few more men climbed up to a sand tray and smashed the sand cover on it as well, revealing the contents inside.
It's a strange big black ball, but it's much smaller than the bearded one.
Chen Tao was a little surprised, could it be that these sand covers were all such big black balls?
But what is that?
Hai Morton is also bold enough, seeing that these black balls are so strange, he pulled out a long knife and slashed at the black ball, just heard a crisp sound, the long knife slashed the strange black ball, Chen Tao saw it clearly, the black ball seemed to shake a little, but the bearded man they didn't notice.
Qiang .......
There was another crisp sound, and Chen Tao and the others seemed to be trembling violently from afar, which showed how much strength Hay Morton used.
Click.......
There was a sound like a carapace rubbing and bumping on the black ball, and then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, the big black ball actually cracked out from the middle, and several slender black poles stretched out from it.
Wrong!
Chen Tao took a closer look, and his face suddenly changed, and he almost jumped up in shock.
Those thin poles are clearly tentacles, covered with jagged black thorns, and then look at the big black ball, a large crack opened on the sphere, and then the gap became bigger and bigger, stretching out like a coil of iron wire.
This thing is a big black worm!
And he saw that the whole body of this great insect was black, from
From head to tail, a black carapace grows, and on both sides there are pairs of long black feet, half of which rises high, and some of them are still buried under the sand plate.
Roar......
The big insect let out a huge roar, and several long jaws opened like flowers, and its head lit up with small red lights, which turned out to be eyes!
Chen Tao counted them, and there were as many as twelve eyes, some big and some small, and the largest one could be as big as a human head.
The big worm struggled and writhed a few times on the sand plate, shook off the sand and gravel fragments on its body, opened its mouth, and suddenly bit at the nearest person.
Before the man could react, he was caught in the air, and the two big jaws clicked and grinded, cutting off half of the man's body in an instant, blood splashed everywhere, his intestines hung out, and his legs were weakly resting on the insect's mouth, and they even kept twitching.
Suddenly, everyone was startled, and a few timid people jumped directly from the sand table and fell into the river below.
Haymorton and Bearded reacted quickly, raising their rifles and firing at the big bug.
The bullet passed through the carapace of the large insect, and the green water bubbled out.
Roar!
The big worm shook in its mouth, let out a sharp roar, and bit down at the bearded two.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the bearded two jumped towards the nearest sand table, and the big insect behind them struggled violently a few times, and the huge body was completely pulled out of the sand table, which was more than ten meters long.
Chen Tao also learned from the ancient books left by his grandfather later that this kind of big insect is a very ancient and rare giant worm, which only lives in this mysterious dark river under the Great Hall of the God of War of Tatunaan. In my grandfather's account, this dark river used to have water, and there were many big fish in it. These black millipedes initially fed on large fish in the dark river. After the river dried up, the big insects fed on the big grimace bats on it.
The sand trays in the river are not naturally formed, but are pupae made by these large insects mixed with sand with saliva and secretions. These large insects are strange and have a long lifespan, gradually adapting to the dry environment over thousands of years of evolution, eating only once every two or three years, and then burrowing into the sand pupae to sleep for a long time.
And the strange sound they heard outside the sand cover was the valve of the big worm's sleeping breathing.
Besides, the big insect pulled out of the sand table, and several large tentacles probed a few times in the air, let out a deafening roar, and crawled down the sand table chasing Dahu and the others.
Dada......
Dada......
Bursts of gunfire rang out in the silent river.
Yes!!!!
Suddenly, there was a scream in the distance, and in the horror of everyone, they saw that another big insect that had been smashed open the sand cover before also woke up, and the two big insects forced the bearded man and the others in the middle.
Roar!!!!
Click....... Click.......
Unexpected
As expected, the two big insects did not immediately attack the bearded man and the others, but faced each other in the air, supporting half of their bodies, and several slender tentacles trembled slightly in the air, making a strange clicking sound.
Dada!
Bullets rushed towards the two big insects like a flood, the miserable green slime flowed all over the ground, and a foul smell filled the air, and the two big insects moved one by one, crawling towards the bearded man and others in the rain of countless bullets, the tentacles on the top of their heads trembled more frequently, and the strange clicking sound in the river was becoming more and more intensive.
Seeing the pot exploding below, Chen Tao and the three of them were startled, and they avoided the big sand cover behind them like snakes and scorpions, and they immediately drilled into the hole when they came, and crawled in the labyrinth-like hole for a long time before they found an exit.
When I got out, it turned out to be a sand tray again.
Chen Tao poked his head out of the sand table and looked down, seeing that he was still more than four meters high from the river below, and was hesitating whether to jump directly in his heart, when he heard two strange screams from the bearded man.
Roar!!!
Roar!!!
Under the dense rain of bullets, the two big insects let out a strange roar and fell to the ground with a bang, and the huge insect bodies were almost like two trains.
The bearded man and the others gasped, loading their rifles with bullets one by one, looking at the sand tables around them with horror.
There was a brief silence in the river, and the three people who wanted to jump in and escape had to hide on the sand table again.
If you go down at this time, it is tantamount to asking for a dead end.
Click......
Click......
There was a sudden clattering sound in his ears, and before Chen Tao had time to listen carefully, the clicking sound had become incomparably dense.
"Tao ...... Taozi! ”
Haozi behind him pointed at the sand cover with a frightened face, and his voice trembled a little: "This thing is cracked, and the big worm inside is coming out!" ”
Looking at the dense cracks on the sand cover, and it was still expanding, Chen Tao's brain was buzzing, and it was about to explode.
It's really been eight lifetimes of blood mold when it comes out this time! Every time it's a dead end.
Before he could react, an explosion suddenly sounded overhead, and countless pieces of mud and sand smashed down on his head and face. The three of them had no choice but to cover their heads and run into the cave.
Bang bang bang!!
The explosion sound became more and more, Chen Tao and the others had not yet run to the cave, and the big sand cover behind them also exploded, and in the mud and sand splashing, a huge and incomparably large insect came out of it, twelve blood-red eyes flashed in the dark, and Chen Tao, who had two sharp big teeth on his head, was furious in his heart.
"What are you doing, run!" Haozi slammed Chen Tao and Ye Rong, who were in a daze, and the entrance of the cave was only more than three meters away from everyone at this time.
But in Chen Tao's eyes, these few steps away are so long
Roar!!!
The big worm soon found the three people below, and let out a strange roar from his mouth, and the huge head like a cow had already bitten down towards Chen Tao.
"Ye Rong, be careful!"
Seeing that the big mouth was about to bite off, Chen Tao exerted force under his feet and slammed Ye Rong in front of him to the ground, and the two rolled under the stone wall on the side.
Rumble!!!
The big worm's head slammed into the stone wall, and the sand and gravel above the shocking head fell straight down, followed by a strange roar, and the two big jaws caught the two of them again.
Before Chen Tao and Ye Rong could get up from the ground, Da E had already rushed in front of the two. Chen Tao saw that he couldn't dodge, so he pushed at Ye Rong, and the two rolled on the ground, the big insect passed between the two of them, and Chen Tao's arm had even touched the head of the big insect.
"Jump!"
Everything happened too fast, Chen Tao got up from the sand tray with a crawl, shouted at Haozi and Ye Rong and the others, and jumped directly off the sand table as soon as he gritted his teeth.
Fortunately, there was soft yellow sand below, and the distance between the sand plates was not too high, and the three of them rolled on the river and stood up, their heads and necks were full of mud and gravel, and they rolled into their clothes with the meat.
Chen Tao hurriedly looked around, and his heart suddenly became cold.
"It's over, it's going to die!"
