Chapter 65: The Terrible Shore
The doctor listened with his ears sideways for a while, and his face became more and more wrong, and my heart began to feel worried.
The apprehension did not last long, and soon my face changed because I heard a very strange snort, like the sound of the fuse being lit during the Chinese New Year.
The sound is very weird, and it's not far from us. I couldn't be sure if the change in the doctor's face was related to this strange sound, and when I was about to ask him, the Taoist priest who also heard the voice took the lead and exclaimed: "I drop grandma, the corpse, look at the corpse quickly, ......
The Taoist priest's sudden exclamation startled us, and I turned my head to see the corpse that we had brought to the shore, and after just one look, my scalp was blown up!
The edge of this river bay was originally overgrown with reeds, in order to facilitate the corpse to get up, the Taoist priest smashed all the reeds with a penny, and then picked up the corpse, at this moment, I saw that the corpse lying on the reed mat was densely crawled with a kind of ant-like small insects, and its number was so large that almost the whole corpse was completely wrapped, which if the dense phobia patient saw it, I am afraid that he would be scared to death on the spot.
Under the wrapping of those insect clouds, the corpse shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, not really shrinking, but the flesh and blood of the corpse were gnawed clean by the insect cloud, so it became smaller.
This terrifying scene made our scalp tingle, and we couldn't help but imagine in our minds that if it was ourselves who were wrapped in the insect cloud, the result would be ...... Almost as soon as the thought came to me, I felt an itch all over my body, as if a real bug was gnawing at my skin.
This scene was terrifying enough, but in the next second, something even weirder happened.
Not far from the corpse was the dry moss layer that Xiu Ling said, just when we were shocked by the insect cloud on the corpse, with a bang, a flat moss ground was lifted up, and at the same time, a red snake-like thing rushed out of the ground with lightning speed, and suddenly rolled up the corpse wrapped in the insect cloud, and shrank back again.
The whole process lasted only a few tenths of a second, so fast that my eyes didn't even have time to react, so let alone see what it really was.
I looked at the empty reed mat on the shore in horror, and asked in a trembling voice: "Just now, just now, did you see what it was?" ”
No one responded, because no one could see the whole process in such a short time, and yet it really happened.
Just when I wondered if I was dreaming, the Taoist priest suddenly shouted: "Oh no, those insects are coming at us, quick, row back, stroke back......"
The exclamation of the Taoist priest pulled me back from the shock, and I looked down and was immediately shocked, only those dense small insects on the shore did not know when they had been connected into pieces, and spread from the shore into the water, forming a large patch of algae-like things, which was rapidly extending towards our boat.
Suddenly, the pores of my whole body shrank, and the image of the corpse being swallowed up by the insect cloud just now appeared in my mind. Damn, it must be because the corpse was dragged away by the monster just now, and these bugs have lost their target to devour, so they turned their attention to us.
Damn, if I am caught up, I hurriedly struggled to hold the penny in my hand, trying to turn the bow of the boat around.
However, I didn't survive at all, and I had no experience at all, and at this time, I was completely opposite to the strength used by the Taoist priest, so that the boat not only failed to turn around, but made the boat lie across the river and could not move.
"Immeasurable Amitabha, shit, don't fucking fool around, let go, that thing is here."
Seeing that the insect cloud had arrived at the side of the boat, the Taoist priest was so anxious that he scolded, I also knew that something was wrong, so I hurriedly pulled the penny up, the doctor reacted very quickly, came to me in a few steps, took the penny and cooperated with the Taoist priest, and quickly turned the bow of the boat.
At the same time, the stern of the ship had been caught up by Chongyun, and the tide of insects poured onto the hull of the ship in an instant, and more insect clouds trampled on the drowned insect corpses in the lower layer and quickly rushed over.
Everyone's hearts were cold, and in this case, after three or five seconds at most, we would have no choice but to abandon the boat and jump into the river.
Just when the situation was critical, the Taoist priest burst into a shout, supported the penny with one hand, reached into his arms with the other, grabbed a stack of yellow talismans, and recited the true mantra, all the yellow talismans instantly ignited flames, and were thrown out by the Taoist priest, and just fell into the pile of insects.
In an instant, all the yellow talismans seemed to be drenched with gasoline, spewing out a long tongue of fire, so that the entire river surface was not covered by flames, and from a distance, it seemed as if the river was on fire.
The raging talisman fire raged, and the endless cloud of insects was burned to the point of crackling, even with the stern of the ship.
The tongue of fire lasted for about ten seconds, and when the flames were gone, the entire water surface could not be seen except for the ashes left after the yellow fu burned.
Lao Gui opened his mouth wide, his face was incredulous, looking at the Taoist priest like a god, the doctor and I were quite calm, after all, when we were in the town of Suo, we had seen a more awesome fire talisman than this.
At this moment, the Taoist priest's face was full of pain, and it was obvious that although the few talismans he used just now were not as valuable as the fire talismans of the Zhengqian Sect Chen Bo and Yan Wudao.
The distressed Taoist priest found Lao Gui who was looking at him like a fairy, and he was even more angry, if it wasn't for Lao Gui who was frightened by the insect cloud just now, and didn't know how to help, this made me a half-hung man who delayed the time, resulting in being caught up by the insects, otherwise how could he waste so many talismans?
With this section, the Taoist priest became even more angry when he saw Lao Gui, and scolded angrily: "Damn, what do you see, don't put out the fire quickly!" ”
Lao Gui panicked and went to fetch water to extinguish the stern of the ship, but fortunately, the burn was not very serious, and the boat could continue to move.
We are also relieved, and suddenly have a feeling of escaping from death, and at the same time, we have a more intuitive understanding of the danger that Xiu Ling said, and the heart says that Xiu Ling's statement is still too hasty, such a terrifying place, how can it be described as only one danger?
The sheer number of bugs alone is not something we can handle, let alone a mysterious monster that drags away the corpse.
There are no words along the way, but we already have the most intuitive understanding of this river and this area in our hearts: here, the big murderer.
On the way back, the boat was moving very fast because it was downstream, and we were back in the village before it was completely dark.
Xiuling and Lin Qiaoer had already prepared dinner and were waiting for us at the pontoon, and as soon as they landed, Lin Qiaoer hurriedly asked me about the situation.
I still have lingering palpitations about what I experienced just now, and I can't explain it clearly at this time, and the Taoist priest has no good face because he feels sorry for those few talismans, so Lin Qiao'er can only ask the doctor who seems to be relatively normal.
