Chapter 11: The Sea of Worms
The firelight dissipated, and the thousand-legged centipede saw that the two killing moves did not have the upper hand, and the poison-spraying trick was countered by me instead, and it was extremely angry, and the "hiss" cry became more and more sharp, obviously condensing the viciousness. I saw that it straightened its body, the front half of its body actually stood up, but the lower half of its body turned over, and the belly of the white centipede was unobstructed under the light and heat of the torch. Zhang Yan saw that the thousands of dense thin feet were fluttering and squirming in the air like this, and she was so frightened that she fainted and fell on her ears. I also felt nauseous, and my scalp suddenly went numb, and I glanced sideways to see that Uncle Dachuan was still waiting for him, so I fixed my mind and didn't dare to take my eyes off the weird centipede.
"You can't play any new tricks!" Although I forced myself to think so, my heart jumped wildly without obeying the call. I saw countless pale white and translucent little centipedes, spurting out from the tail of the thousand-legged centipede, like crazy, catching and biting anything-in an instant, the scorpions, toads, geckos and countless sub-female snakes that were used as "fertilizer" in the Gu hole were bitten and rolled all over the ground, and in just a moment, they all died upright.
We were shocked, we saw the tragic situation of Feng Shui Zhou and Liang Hu before, and thought that the thousand-legged centipede was poisonous enough, but we didn't expect this little centipede with a transparent body to be even sharper. Suddenly a little jealous, I didn't dare to move forward - obviously, give this little guy a bit, it's a second kill.
We are anxious, fortunately, the crawling speed of the little centipede is not fast, and there are naturally rich poisons in the Gu cave along the way to help us block the gun, seeing that the speed of the thousand-legged centipede cub is obviously full, the ears can't help but "sneer", and shout to the female centipede from a long distance defiantly:
"You cow x, you jumped over and bit me! Your descendant, biting the snake and insect to death, is not exhausting the toxin, dying inside, scaring Lao Tzu in vain! "As soon as I heard what he said, it was the same. I saw that the poison that was bitten to death by the little centipede was almost paralyzed in place, and nothing broke out of the body for a long time, which also made us breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wait!" Uncle Okawa suddenly startled, "It seems that something is wrong!" As he spoke, he pulled us back a few more positions. We were still confused at first, but when we looked closely, we each gasped: it turned out that the first batch of poisons that were closest to the centipede were actually corpses!
For a while, the thousands of poisonous Gu that had died before turned around and walked towards us in unison, and those wild poisons along the way were torn and bitten by them in an instant, devouring them completely. This sense of oppression that resonates with a hundred Gu suddenly reminds me of a notorious ferocious creature in the rainforest-
Army ants!
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in wars: a well-trained and disciplined soldier can be a hundred. Today, I can be regarded as a first-hand experience. The poison that attacked us casually and instinctively before, although it could scare us half to death by its inadvertent sudden appearance, it really did not cause us real harm; But at the moment, this group of "Gu poison army" that is uniformly deployed by the will of the thousand-legged centipede is completely different. They were cunningly divided into four waves, entrenched on the top of the cave, on the ground, and on the walls on the left and right, attacking us rhythmically: first to the left and to the right, then to the left and right, and then to the top and bottom......
In a short time, the four of us were out of breath and almost retreated into the passage leading from the Gu cave to the main room. This tide-like "Hundred Gu March", although the variables are limited, and the combination law is only a handful, but each wave, the execution is particularly strong, unlike the wild poison that dispersed when it encountered fire before, in the face of the scorching torch or attacked one after another, the intensity is quite high, so that we have to spend a lot of time every time to burn the offensive back, and sometimes, it even takes two or three people to work together to repel a wave of offensive. I couldn't help but panic, and took the time to look at the torch in my hand, and it was only half burned.
As soon as I was distracted, a little loophole suddenly appeared in our formation, and the Gu worm army suddenly attacked my side together, Uncle Dachuan and Er had to hurry over to help, and I also hurriedly stepped forward to fill my lost position, but, how could the cunning thousand-foot centipede give us a chance to breathe, seeing that the three of us were trying our best to deal with the attack on the right, it had already swung its tail and commanded the Gu worms to launch the next wave of attacks:
Attack up and down!
Finished! I can't say it in my heart, this end has not yet been resolved, the main force of the Gu army has been concentrated on the right hand, and two more Gu worms have been attacked at the top and bottom of the cave, and the "iron bucket formation" we used for defense before suddenly collapsed. I, Er, and Uncle Dachuan were in a hurry, taking care of one thing and losing the other, and were torn and bitten by Gu worms crawling from all directions one after another, and dozens of large and small wounds were immediately filled on my body. Fortunately, there was no excessive paralysis from the wound, it seems that those small white centipedes that are transparent all over should not be carrying highly poisonous, but used as a medium to inflict Gu surrender, otherwise, the three of us should have died sooner by now.
After a little calm, I had to force myself to calm down, waved the torch with one hand to block a cloud of poison rushing to my face, and with the other hand, I grabbed it with my hand, and wiped off a handful of fierce Gu worms on my body, and then shrank my head, untied the first aid kit diagonally on my body, and threw it to Zhang Yan who was hiding behind us - let her help find some medicine to ease the toxins - I analyzed it like this: Generally speaking, snake venom, bee venom, scorpion venom and other venoms, although the composition is complex and the mechanism is weird, in a short period of time, if you want to completely remove it in the field without equipment, It's not realistic; However, most of the toxins in these venoms depend on the biological enzymes rich in the poison mother liquor to propagate in our nerves. Then, with the hydrogen peroxide used for sterilization in my medicine box, as well as the disinfected iodine wine, it should be possible to reduce the activity of biological enzymes by changing the pH of the venom, which may be able to alleviate the onset of toxins.
Although it has not been verified theoretically, the situation is urgent, and I can't afford to think about it, so I hurriedly shouted at Zhang Yan and asked her to throw me the iodine wine in the medicine box!
I saw that she was frightened by the surging sea of insects, and she was shouted by me, so that the three souls returned to their places, nodded according to my description, poured in the medicine box for a while, and finally found a bottle of things and threw them at me.
How dare I be lazy, hurry up with my hands and feet, dispel the troublesome Gu worms on my body, meet the direction where the bottle was thrown, see the right time, pick up the direction where it fell in the dim firelight, and grab a round-mouthed bottle-
I rub! I said how the bottle shape feels weird! Isn't this exactly the bottle of soju that Brother Hamakawa in Harukawa County gave me! My sister, no matter how bad you are, dare you tell me the difference between the glass bottle of medicine and the earthen porcelain bottle of this wine! My heart was cold, and I said secretly: My life is over! Seeing that the centipede summoned another wave of attacks, and the torches in our hands were weakening, and we could no longer take this wave of attacks, I had to beckon Uncle Okawa and my ears to avoid it together, so as to prevent the fire from being extinguished due to excessive combustion at such a critical juncture.
Rolling on the spot, when I got up, I suddenly smelled the strong aroma of the soju in my hand that penetrated the wooden cork, and then looked at the torch in the other hand, the fire actually rose up at this juncture of ten thousand Gu pressures, as if I was inspired by the aroma of wine, and I actually cheered up!
I was startled, and suddenly a thought flashed through my mind: fire? Wine? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to mind. While sitting still, I uncorked the wood, lifted the porcelain bottle, drank a big sip of the spirits in my mouth, and the spicy mouth only burned my tongue numb. At this moment, I can't care about this, seeing that another wave of Gu worms is coming, my mouth can no longer contain this fiery wine-
I had to hurriedly aim at the incoming Gu worms, raise my torch, take a sip of strong wine, and spray it towards the menacing army of Ten Thousand Gus.
I saw that the fire borrowed a high concentration of alcohol, exuding a strong fragrance, and actually sprayed out like a flamethrower, turning into a red lotus, in the shape of a fan four or five meters square, and swept away towards the army of Gu insects that were caught off guard. But when I saw that the top of the cave was clear, the sea of insects was churning; But listen to the blasting and the sound of insects; But the smell is like the sea, and the insect smell dissipates......
Sure enough, good wine!
The four of us, seeing that we had defeated the army of Gu worms in one fell swoop, finally breathed a sigh of relief. I quickly took back my medicine box, turned out iodine wine and saline, and applied it to the wound first, and sure enough, it was able to relieve the poisonous pain. According to the different degrees of poisonous burning sensation, paralysis and diffusion, iodine wine, hydrogen peroxide and normal saline were selected to be applied to the affected area, which had an effect when it was young, and significantly inhibited the aggravation of several poisonous pains.
How dare we hesitate to carefully step past the scorched bug corpse that is still speckled with sparks, and come to the old adversary, the centipede. That guy also relied on using the army of ten thousand Gu to deal with us, and got a rest, and his vicious and tyrannical aura also recovered six or seven times out of ten, only dancing with dense little feet, snakeing towards us.
I didn't expect that the centipede that had been defused by us again and again dared to attack first with all its might, and I was afraid that it would be a centipede swinging its tail again, so I hurriedly stopped everyone from repelling behind me, and the insect king saw that I saw through its attack, lost the opportunity, and became more and more angry, stood still in place, sizzled and screamed, stood up again, and prepared to charge up and spray poison.
How could Uncle Okawa give it a chance to kill again? I saw him raise the torch that sharpened the bottom with a shovel when he was resting just now, as a blazing javelin, and saw the thousand-legged centipede with a straight chest and abdomen, a lucky dantian, with a chest and a back, and the strength from the roots, and the whole body was full of strength - even after a distance of about ten meters, he threw the blazing sharp tail torch into the centipede's body! I only heard the centipede scream in pain, and a stream of black blood suddenly revealed from the wound, and the torch was corroded and broken, but fortunately, the end of the fire had completed its mission, and successfully brought the fire to the insect king, igniting the thousands of terrifying tentacles and small feet......
I had already learned inspiration from the previous killing tricks of "Liquor Red Lotus", and quickly took out the medical alcohol from the medicine box, together with the glass bottle, and threw it accurately on the burning insect king, which exploded in response, making a crisp sound mixed with the crackling sound of fire!
I saw the flame rushing upward, the fire suddenly spread, and a thousand-legged centipede, which had grown into a full two meters, immediately turned into a blazing fire dragon, rolling on the ground in pain, and wanted to extinguish the flame again, but helplessly the high-purity medical alcohol, which had been stained all over its body, where could it be shaken off, only in vain for a moment, it turned into a black-brown scorched earth mixed with Mars, and was completely wiped out under the joint killing move of Uncle Dachuan and me.
After solving the insect king, I felt that my calf was a little swollen after being poisoned by the centipede, so I quickly took out the soju and smeared it on it to relieve the pain of poisoning, and went to the sea of insects to find Axia. After scanning repeatedly, she found Ah Xia and Gao Maocai and Feng Jinhua cowering behind her in a corner at the edge of the cave. Seeing this, Ear wanted to rush over to save her, but was forced to retreat by the poisons; Uncle Okawa also tried it, but he couldn't rush through! I was so anxious that I was about to rush forward, but Uncle Okawa stretched out his hand to stop me.
"No, Xiao Li, don't worry! Look! Following where he pointed, I looked with my ears and found that the scorched insect king, the charred black belly had exploded at some point, and the tiny centipedes with white flowers inside had already unknowingly burrowed into the poisonous objects nearby, turning into corpses of Gu insects, mixed with wild poisons, and driving those poisonous insects that had not been poisoned by Gu to the point of madness, no wonder Ah Xia and the three of them were forced into such a mess.
"Rub! The plague god who was struck by lightning died quite well, and he didn't forget to make a mistake! Ear couldn't help but scold, "It seems that Xiao Lizi, you are still a step late, and you didn't interrupt the big move that this plague god was brewing before he died." ”
I glanced at him, didn't bother to pay attention to him, lifted my glasses, and focused my attention on those crazy Gu worms, it seems that these poisons inherited the hatred of the insect king before his death, and are indiscriminately treating other creatures as the object of venting their viciousness, and those wild poisons that have been gnawed are naturally provoked to madness, this time, it is difficult to do.
was anxious, but heard Ah Xia exclaim: when she looked closely, a palm-sized toad jumped on her head in a hurry, frightening her into a daze, but she also dropped the torch that was only half a section on the ground, and hurriedly waved her hand to drive away the big toad. Seeing this, the thousands of poisonous insects were even more determined to gnaw her, and the insect tide suddenly shrank around her! I was horrified when I saw this, hoping that I was shrinking behind her and "hugging my thighs", but now seeing that she is in crisis, it is almost impossible for Gao Maocai and Feng Jinhua to retreat and ask for their lives; And Ear and Uncle Okawa didn't dare to rush over rashly-
Don't think about it, I've already got a hot head and rushed out. When I came to the sea of insects, I suddenly remembered that I only held the bottle of soju with two-thirds left in my hand, and hurriedly took a big sip, puffed out my cheeks, and sprayed out one after another while rushing-I saw: the sea of insects was like a tide, and it was pitch black; The clouds of fire cover the sky, and the light is like day; The shadow is vague and fleeting...... For a while, I only felt dizzy, I couldn't find the direction, in the thick smoke, but I couldn't hear Ah Xia's panicked and helpless cry, I had to make a desperate bet, simply ignited the torch lighting effect, the spirit, turned into a wave of fire, one after another into the sea of insects, until the black and heavy insect tide, rushed out of a gap!
Now is the time!
When she rushed to the stunned Axia, her torches were just burning. I couldn't help but say, I grabbed her little hand, turned around and pulled her out of the sea of insects, seeing that she was still blushing and heartbeat, and didn't come back to her senses, I couldn't help but say:
"What, I was shocked by Brother Li's handsomeness? Sister Xia, we're safe! ”
