Chapter 11: A Thrilling Escape

Zhao Qian exclaimed, and while pulling Lu Xia back, the broken knife in his hand slashed into the air.

Lu Xia was still in a trance and didn't know what was going on. But looking at the tent again, reflecting the light of the campfire, he saw a huge insect split in half, and the green juice of the insect splashed all over his face, and the whole tent seemed to be stained into a dirty wormhole.

Lu Xia was a little stunned, staring blankly at the scene in front of him with empty eyes. The bug was the size of a cat, with more than a dozen gastropods spread out on either side up to a meter long. There were two slender tentacles on his head, which were split in half and still trembling and squirming.

"Let's ...... away"

Zhao Qian jumped up and rushed out of the tent, looking around, the dark woods were full of the sound of rolling leaves, which made people's scalps itch.

"What is this?" Lu Xia didn't have time to sort out his clothes, so he praised Zhao Qian's huge backpack and followed.

When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned, and when he shone a flashlight, the ground of the woods was full of such big insects. The shaggy and quivering gastropods roamed the leafy woodland, as if searching for food. At this time, when the light of the flashlight shone on, it shook towards him as if he had been electrocuted, and the tentacles on the top of his head pointed straight at him.

"It's a worm!"

Zhao Qian responded simply, and looked left and right in a panic: "Hurry up, the worms are afraid of water, and find a place with sufficient water along the stream." ”

Lu Xia was still a little blindfolded, and it was unbelievable to squeeze his eyes.

Worms are a very common insect, but how can they be so big? This breed can be brought home as piglets.

Zhao Qian jumped into the water as she spoke, and when she saw that Lu Xia didn't follow, she used a flashlight to wrap around his face: "What are you doing there?" Come down ......."

As soon as Zhao Qian's words fell, suddenly a black shadow rushed over and smashed her into the stream in front of her.

Lu Xia panicked for a moment, and hurriedly jumped over to pull the worm that was stuck to Zhao Qian's face. The worm was afraid of water, and when he got to the stream, he curled his body and grabbed it tighter, and Zhao Qian fluttered and shook his head and shook his head, but he couldn't tear it off.

"Xiao Qian......" Lu Xiakong shouted and grabbed the earthworm claw, and tore off a hairy claw like breaking a branch. The fluffy iron claws were still struggling to bend in their hands, and emerald green thick liquid was oozing from the roots.

Seeing that it worked, Lu Xia hurriedly threw away the claws in his hand to break off one and another one, but because he was afraid of water, he wrapped his claws very tightly, and the iron claws as hard as steel drills pierced Zhao Qian's skin and even pierced her ears. Lu Xia pulled hard, Zhao Qian suddenly roared, and her ears were hooked off by the broken claws.

Zhao Qian gritted her teeth in pain, and simply pushed Lu Xia away and buried her head in the water. And Lu Xia, who was pushed and staggered to the bank of the stream, was even more stunned, how did he tear off Zhao Qian's ears? It's hard to believe.

But just as he was about to raise the claws that had been broken off on his hand to see if it was his ear, suddenly a hairy thing rubbed against his neck, itching, cold and cold......

Lu Xia shouted in his heart, and before he could turn his head, he saw that a long claw had stretched out, and it was enough to feel the cold on his skin.

Lu Xia swallowed his throat and slammed away a big worm behind him. And this caterpillar with more than a dozen claws is like a dog skin plaster, and it can't be shaken off even if it is stained.

I saw a bright red worm wrapping around his arm, pulling those thorn-like claws with force, and he trembled and climbed up, and the tentacles on his head waved and squirmed, and he couldn't tear them off at all.

For a while, Lu Xia felt a hairstand upside down, looked left and right, and suddenly remembered the stream under his feet, so he fell into the water and lay down in the water.

The hairy claws of the worm that had been blown up by the water shrank up, and they tightly wrapped around Lu Xia's arm and did not move. But Lu Xia couldn't get rid of the camel-sized caterpillar because of this, and when he got up from the water and was about to break its claws, suddenly it was dark in front of him, and a huge worm swooped down against the door.

At this moment, Lu Xia wanted to die, and after a period of grief, he turned over and buried himself in the water. But the stream was too shallow, and the worms were clinging to their faces, and they couldn't struggle anymore for a while, and their arms were wrapped around the worms.

Lu Xia was desperate in his heart, and it seemed that he was about to die here. And I was still scared in my heart, and suddenly the back of my neck itched, and I suddenly felt that my back was very heavy, like countless small knives on my back. He thought to himself, presumably now both sides of the stream are red and brightly crowded with hairy claws!

"Hurry up......" Zhao Qian's voice suddenly sounded, and then a hand grabbed his shoulder and lifted him up.

Before Lu Xia could understand what was going on, he heard a clattering sound, and then the worms that stuck to his face and arms fell. Rubbing his eyes, he saw something in Zhao Qian's hand, and the air was filled with a smell of medicine.

"How are you? Have you ever been bitten? Zhao Qian wrapped her arms around Lu Xia and asked with concern while spraying insect repellent potion. The worm is poisonous on its teeth, and if it is bitten, it will be in big trouble if it is not dealt with in time. ”

Lu Xia was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, wiped a handful of water from his face and shook his head at Zhao Qian: "It doesn't matter to me, what about you?" ”

Lu Xia wanted to look at her ears as she spoke, but Zhao Qian had already wrapped a shirt around her head, and there was no trace of blood in sight.

"I'm fine!" Zhao Qian shrank her head evasively, and then tugged Lu Xia's arm and said, "Hurry up, the insect repellent potion will be almost finished!" ”

Time was a little pressing, and when Lu Xia looked around again, he saw that the banks of the stream were crowded with red-pressed caterpillars, one by one with their tentacles at them, brewing and jumping at any time.

Lu Xia responded and ran forward, stepping on the unstable depth of the stream, splashing all over the sky. And these worms seemed to be attracted by the breath of their bodies, and they chased around the two banks, and their slender and slender iron claws danced on the fallen leaves and stones, making a terrifying roar.

As the meanders came, the shore began to leap towards them, and more were squeezed into the water by their companions.

Zhao Qian sprayed insect repellent water to her side as she walked, and after spraying, she shook the empty bottle and threw it to the shore angrily, turned back and shouted to Lu Xia: "Hurry up, we will run out of time!" ”

"What?" Lu Xia stumbled, got up and choked on the splash and asked.

And while speaking, another worm jumped into the air, and Lu Xia didn't even have time to see it clearly, the huge worm covered it with claws like a net.

Seeing that there was no time to dodge, at this moment, a silver light suddenly flashed in front of him, and the hairy claws on the side of the worm were slashed off by Qi Brush.

Lu Xia wiped the emerald green juice from his face, and saw Zhao Qian standing in front of him with a nervous expression, the knife in his hand dripping thick liquid.

Lu Xia stared at Zhao Qian and was about to speak, when suddenly Zhao Qian exclaimed, 'Be careful', and waved the broken knife to cut off another leaping worm.

"There's no time, run~......!"

Lu Xia nodded again and again, and ran forward even more desperately, splashing like a rainbow wave under his crotch. And the worms around them are almost running with them, and they can't get rid of them.

I don't know how long I have been crawling like this, but the narrow stream suddenly widened, and a steady stream of tributaries flowed in, and the water level gradually rose.

But the deeper the water, the more difficult it was for them to run, and in the end they simply turned to swimming.

In a swamp where the water level submerged the roots of the trees, and finally got rid of the rushing worms, the two of them climbed onto a thick spiraling tree root on the water, and lay down to gasp for breath, panting like a bellows.

This desperate escape is like peeling off the skin and regenerating, and as soon as I lie down, I feel that the bones in my body are about to break, and I can't move anymore.

The night was still silent and deep, the mottled light and shadow on the canopy were waving in front of me, and the gurgling water covered half of the body, and there was no longer a warm and cold touch.

"It's dangerous!" Lu Xia gasped and said in his throat. He looked sideways at Zhao Qian beside him slightly and asked her if she was injured.

Zhao Qian shook her head weakly, swallowed her throat, and closed her eyes. Suddenly, as if she was alert to something, she suddenly opened a pair of frightened eyes.

Lu Xia ...... Hurry up, it's going to be too late. ”

Under Zhao Qian's push, he got up lazily and asked in confusion, "What?" What's too late? The water is so deep that the bugs can't get through. ”

Zhao Qian said with a bitter face: "It's not like this! Although the worm was afraid of water, it didn't chase it because ......"

Without waiting for Zhao Qian to finish speaking, suddenly a blister appeared on the water surface in front of him, gurgling and rippling.

Lu Xia shrank his feet in convulsions, hugged the big tree and rubbed it up, and asked, "You mean, there is something more terrible than a worm?" …… There shouldn't be a Nile crocodile in this place! ”

Zhao Qian also helped over and hugged the tree trunk to guard around, and the light pillar of the flashlight refracted mottled light in the waves.

"Lu Xia, can you have a little common sense? How can there be a Nile crocodile in the Yangtze River system? The Nile crocodile should live on the Nile! ”

Lu Xia nodded mechanically holding the trunk of the tree, looking here and the other, the roots of the tree he was stepping on were covered with green moss, and he couldn't stand steadily.

"If there is no Nile crocodile, then there will be a Chinese alligator!" Lu Xia said and looked at Zhao Qian, his frightened eyes were full of despair: "Zhao Qian, what do you say?" Will there be alligators? ”

Zhao Qian shook her head: "The Chinese crocodile is so small, what are you afraid of?" …… Eh, Luxia? Didn't you say protect me? How scared more than me! ”

Lu Xia rubbed against the trunk of the tree again, and squeaked in defense: "I'm not afraid, I'm cautious!" ”

"Don't think so much, scare yourself. Let's find a way to get out of here! ”
