Volume 1 The Coming Storm Chapter 37 The Grass Crawler
Chu Tianyi saw it at a glance, but he didn't have time to remind him. Xiao Meng threw away the blade with an exclamation, he looked down at his wrist, and saw a black insect biting on his wrist, and let Xiao Meng shake it without letting go.
Xiao Meng hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull it, but the bearded man suddenly shouted, "Stop!" ”
"What for?" Xiao Meng stopped his hand and looked up and asked.
"This is a grass crawler," the bearded man walked up to him and reached out to take out a vial from his bag, "you can't pull it if you bite it like this, and if you pull it, its teeth will break in your flesh, and it will be troublesome to take it out when the time comes, and it will be infected by the virus." As he spoke, he opened the vial in his hand, snapped a small branch and put it into the bottle, and dipped some black gelatinous substance from it.
"What is this?" Chu Tianyi asked.
"Cigarette bag oil." Mu Feng on the side said, "The grass crawler is afraid of this taste, so use cigarette bag oil to let it loosen its mouth on its own, so that the barbs on its mouth will not remain in its body." ”
I saw that the bearded man put the black cigarette pouch oil on the head of the grass crawler, and sure enough, the worm was relieved after two blows, and was picked down by the bearded man with a knife and crushed to death.
Xiao Meng touched the two blood-red wounds on his wrist, "This thing bites and hurts!" ”
The bearded man reached out and grabbed his wrist and looked at it, "It's okay, I won't die for a while!" ”
"Hey," Xiao Meng pretended to glare, "Brother Beard, you can't expect me to ......"
Before Xiao Meng's words were finished, Mu Feng next to him suddenly shouted, "Damn!" The others were taken aback and turned their heads to look at him, only to find that Mu Feng was looking at Chu Tianyi with straight eyes.
Chu Tianyi was stunned for a moment, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”
Xiao Meng and the bearded man looked at Chu Tianyi along Mu Feng's eyes, and their faces suddenly changed. Chu Tianyi touched his head and face in surprise, there was nothing abnormal, he was just about to ask, Mu Feng stepped forward and grabbed his collar and pulled it back violently.
Chu Tianyi almost fell on Mu Feng's body, he was a little displeased, turned his head and asked, "Hey, you guys, ......" When he said this, he glanced at the place where he was standing just now, and was stunned for a moment.
Chu Tianyi saw that the tree behind him just now had turned black at this time. He looked closely, and the entire trunk of the tree was densely covered with countless grass crawlers, large and small! He said in horror, "How can there be so many! ”
Before Chu Tianyi could come to his senses, Xiao Meng on the side shouted loudly, "Brother Yi, on your legs!" ”
Chu Tianyi hurriedly looked down and found that he didn't know when he had more than a dozen grass crawlers on his pants. Not only him, but Mu Feng and the bearded shoes and pants have climbed a lot of these black bugs.
Several people took off their coats and slapped the bugs off their bodies vigorously.
Mu Feng looked at both sides, "We have to hurry up, look at this, this is the worm's nest." ”
"Okay, okay, let's go!" Xiao Meng said, turned around and ran forward, but after a few steps, he suddenly stopped. The bearded man behind him didn't pay attention and hit him with a bang, "Why did you kid stop!" Run! ”
"I can't run," Xiao Meng pointed ahead in a daze. The others looked away, and saw that all the large-leaved plants in front of them were gradually spread by black, and the black grass crawlers covered all the branches and leaves, this scene made people feel numb and shudder.
"We're surrounded, what should we do?" Chu Tianyi asked anxiously, "So many insects pounced, and they were crippled if they didn't die!" ”
"If it doesn't work, set it on fire," Xiao Meng took out his lighter, "I watched this situation on TV, and set it on fire." ”
Although I don't know if it will work, but now I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, "Then try it." The bearded man found a branch, and Xiao Meng took out a vest from the change of clothes in his bag, tied it to it, and poured some alcohol.
Soon the torches were burning, and the bearded man shook the branches to drive away the grass crawlers around him. The burning branches did work, and under the scorching flames, all the grass crawlers on the branches and leaves around the torch dodged, and some of them fell into the fire with a crackling sound.
But then the problem arose, due to the rain and the fact that the surrounding leaves were full of water, the torches hit the leaves, and a layer of white smoke snorted and was quickly extinguished.
Xiao Meng had to rekindle the fire, but at the same time, there were more and more grass crawlers around. Although I don't know if this insect has the consciousness of cooperating in attack, the scene of being crawled all over the body and bitten by them feels terrifying when you think about it.
Mu Feng stopped Xiao Meng, who was still igniting the fire, "Okay, don't bother." It doesn't work. ”
"What then?" The bearded man asked as he twitched the grass around him with his clothes, his forehead already oozing with sweat.
Mu Feng pointed to the other side of the grass, "We can still hear the sound of running water now, I think the current location is not far from the stream." I don't think these bugs can move in the water, so as long as we get there, we should be safe. Mu Feng tied his trouser legs and shoes tightly, put on gloves, and put his coat on his head, "Rush, it's okay to rush out, at most a few bites." ”
As soon as Mu Feng finished speaking, he rushed out with an arrow step. Before the others could react, Mu Feng's figure had already disappeared into the grass. As the grass swayed, the grass crawlers on it began to stir a little.
The bearded man did not dare to slack off, followed closely, pulled his coat up, and rushed into the grass as well.
Xiao Meng also wrapped his head in his coat and waved at Chu Tianyi, "Brother Yi, hurry!" Chu Tianyi followed them as he did.
After running a few steps, Chu Tianyi found a problem, put his coat on his head, and couldn't see the road at all. But he was worried about being attacked by insects, so he could only use his ears to listen to the footsteps in front of him to change the direction. However, the surrounding vegetation is simply too lush. Soon the sound of his own grass and trees drowned out the footsteps in front of him.
Chu Tianyi was a little blindsided all of a sudden, he wanted to pull down his coat to take a look, but as soon as he opened a gap, many things that didn't know whether it was water droplets or grass crawlers fell on his face, Chu Tianyi hurriedly slapped his face and shoulders, he quickly pulled up his coat again, and fled desperately.
Unexpectedly, just after running a few steps, Chu Tianyi suddenly slammed into a tree, this time he was unprepared, he suddenly felt a buzz in his brain, and his eyes were full of Venus. Then he fell to the ground with a crooked body.
In a trance, Chu Tianyi felt that someone had pulled him up, and he beat his spirit and ran forward with the man. He didn't run far before he felt empty under his feet, and then he threw himself into the water.
Chu Tianyi hurriedly reached out and pulled off his coat, turned over and sat in the water, panting heavily. He turned his head to see who had saved him just now, and found that Mu Feng was also sitting next to him, panting for breath, and still coughing.
"Brother Feng, you pulled me out just now?" Chu Tianyi asked.
Mu Feng stretched out his hand and waved, and pointed at himself again, "I, I haven't caught my breath yet, it was Xiao Meng who went back to save you just now." ”
Chu Tianyi hurriedly looked for Xiao Meng to thank him, but Xiao Meng waved his hand indifferently.
"Alright," the bearded man beckoned to the two of them, "come over here, I'll take care of it for you." ”
"I don't think I've been bitten." Chu Tianyi said, touching his face and neck.
The bearded man smiled, "If you have been bitten, you have to take off your clothes to see." ”
Chu Tianyi waded over to the bearded man, unbuttoned his shirt, and the bearded man pulled down his clothes and exposed his back. Xiao Meng looked over from the side and couldn't help but exclaim, "I'll go!" ”
"What's wrong?" Chu Tianyi turned his neck hard, and he couldn't see his back. So Xiao Meng took a picture of him with his mobile phone.
When Chu Tianyi saw it, he immediately got goosebumps. I saw that my back was covered with "purple grapes" one by one in the photo, which looked very scary and a little disgusting, "Oh my God, what are these?" What's wrong with me? ”
"These are blood-sucking grass crawlers." The bearded man told him, then took out the cigarette pouch oil and helped him dispose of it the same way as before. In fact, after the grass crawler was taken down, it was the most uncomfortable time, and Chu Tianyi felt that his back was hot and distressed.
Then the bearded man helped Xiao Meng deal with it again. In order to return to save Chu Tianyi, Xiao Meng was attacked more seriously by the grass crawler, except for his back, there were a lot of purple grapes hanging on his abdomen and calves. This made Chu Tianyi very moved.
The beard is much lighter than the other, only hanging on the ankles. And Mu Feng was not bitten at all, which made Chu Tianyi and the others envious, he shrugged his shoulders, "Who told me to run fast, those grass crawlers haven't reacted yet, this is called the bird that flies early is not bitten by insects!" ”
A few people found a safe place by the stream to fix it, and it happened that the rain had stopped. The four of them got their gear ready and continued on their way.
With the experience just now, several people decided to go along the stream, anyway, the rain just now had already wet their bodies, so they didn't care about getting wetter.
As the surrounding rainwater flows in, the original stream slowly grows larger. The creek turned into a creek, and several people eventually discovered that the creek turned into a waterfall and flowed down into the canyon.
It was only at this time that Chu Tianyi realized that they had been traveling above the canyon and had not entered the bottom of the canyon.
It was close to noon, the clouds had cleared, and the sun was slowly peeping out.
Mu Feng looked up, "It's sunny this day, let's find a place to roast our bodies and eat something by the way." ”
"Great!" Xiao Meng clapped his hands vigorously when he heard this, "I've been hungry for a long time!" ”
The bearded man looked around, "Let's go down to the bottom of the valley first, there is no suitable place around here." ”
