Chapter 11: The Maggot King
Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo were sleeping in the tent, and Zhao Aiguo, who had experienced the life-and-death battle the night before, slept very soundly. The exclamation woke them up, and then it became noisy outside, and they immediately got up and rushed out of the tent to see what was happening.
"Xiao Li, you don't sleep at night when you step on a horse, where did you die? Why are you yelling here? ”
Han Dong was fine after two days of treatment, and today it was his turn to patrol the night for Professor Wang. Looking at Xiao Li, who almost rolled off the camel, he scolded, and Xiao Li's face could still be seen in the moonlight.
"Quick, run with the professor!" Xiao Li got up from the sand, stumbled and rushed to Professor Wang's tent, and was grabbed by Han Dong.
"Panic what! What the hell is going on? At this time, Professor Wang also walked out of the tent, shone a flashlight on Xiao Li and asked.
"Teach, professor, something is wrong! The corpse maggots are coming! Xiao Li was out of breath.
"Nonsense, aren't all the maggots burned to death?" Professor Wang replied with a frown.
"No, they didn't all burn to death, and now there's a super corpse maggot, the size of a camel!" Xiao Li was so anxious that he stomped his feet and compared the size of the corpse maggot as he spoke.
"! Dude, how did you know there were corpse maggots again? Zhao Aiguo walked over and patted Xiao Li on the shoulder.
"Did you go back to that bun again! You, you are really looking for death! Professor Wang understood what was going on after thinking about it, pointed a flashlight at Xiao Li, and coughed angrily.
"Professor, I don't want to recover this extremely precious artifact, with it, our archaeology will definitely go down in history. I didn't expect to meet a super corpse maggot, but I saw it, so I hurried back to report to everyone. Xiao Li is still defending himself.
On that day, he saw the bun that had fallen into the pile of maggots, and when he came back, he was entangled in his heart, and finally decided to take a risk and secretly retrieve the treasure in the pile of maggots. He expected that the maggots had already been burned to death, and there should be no danger.
"Credited to the annals of history? You've got to get out of here! Moreover, you have also exposed our position, and you have brought great danger to everyone. Pang Weimin said a little coldly.
"Wei Min, if what Xiao Li said is true, our situation will be very critical. Let's not talk to him more, I think we'd better pack up and retreat immediately. ”
Liu Xiangdong, who had just rushed over, changed his face after listening to Xiao Li's words, and then turned around and walked to his tent.
"Wait for me, what a corpse maggot, it's too scary, let's go together." Huang Jiawei immediately followed Liu Xiangdong to the tent.
"How long will it take for the maggots to get here?" Pang Weimin continued to ask.
"I saw it from a distance not far from the ruins, and then I sneaked back, but it found me. It didn't chase me right away, so I guess it would be a long time before it came, maybe it didn't notice me. Xiao Li said with some luck.
"Why didn't it chase you right away? What was it doing when you saw it? Professor Wang was so angry that he finally relented.
"It's not really real in the moonlight, the super corpse maggot seems to be gnawing at the bones that haven't been burned yet, yes, it's just gnawing. And I noticed a mark on its head. Xiao Li recalled.
"What imprint?" Pang Weimin's face sank when he heard this.
"It looks like the bun on the woman's head, and it glows yellowish." Xiao Li gestured at the approximate location of the corpse maggot imprint.
"It's broken! If I'm not mistaken, we're in for a big deal! Professor Wang, you immediately organize your people to pack their luggage, and we will start retreating immediately. After Pang Weimin thought of the strange words his father said, he immediately said in a hurry.
"Classmate Wei Min, what's going on? What's so weird about that bun? Seeing that Pang Weimin was very anxious, Professor Wang hurriedly asked.
"That's right! Combined with the runes on the hairpin that I said patriotically, I speculate that the bun may be an ancient Loulan Xuanmen magic weapon, and it is likely to be cursed by the runes carved by the wizard, and it is it that caused the ordinary corpse maggot to undergo a huge physical mutation. Pang Weimin nodded.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at Professor Wang, who nodded after a slight hesitation. He knew that Pang Weimin had a yin and yang fish to wear, and he didn't think Pang Weimin's words were nonsense.
Everyone recognized Pang Weimin's words, and no one doubted it anymore, and the group began to pack separately, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the archaeological team.
However, Xiao Li's judgment was seriously wrong, and less than ten minutes later, the camel herd suddenly became agitated, neighing to break free from the rope. Then Liu Xiangdong and Huang Jiawei, who had finished packing ahead of schedule, shouted in horror:
"Oh my God, what do you think that dark shadow is?"
Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo dropped their tents and rushed over to check with a flashlight, only to see a cloud of sand and dust more than ten meters high rising in front of them, and a black super big insect larger than a camel was surging forward.
The bug seemed to have eight legs, four on each side, and was very fast. The flashlight swept over its front, and two long fangs protruding from both sides of the mouth could be seen, and a pair of large copper bell-like eyes, bloodshot and murderous.
"It seems that this is the mutated corpse maggot king, what should I do now, I will crawl over in a few minutes!" Zhao Aiguo looked at Pang Weimin on the side anxiously.
"Don't panic, everyone! Liu Xiangdong, Huang Jiawei, you take Li Ping and Du Juan to ride a camel and flee to the rear, but don't run too far so as not to get lost. Aiguo, Xu Shan, Han Dong and Da Niu, let's go to a few to intercept this brute! Pang Weimin calmly commanded, and his natural leadership temperament was undoubtedly revealed.
At this time, Professor Wang's three bodyguards had already mounted a camel with him, accompanied by two students, led by Bahar, and Liu Xiangdong and they were ready to retreat to the rear.
But it was too late.
The maggots rushed into the camp like a tank, and the camels were so frightened that they went crazy, breaking free from the ropes, even if their nostrils were strangled and bleeding profusely.
First of all, Liu Xiangdong and Huang Jiawei were thrown off directly by the camel mount due to panic, and fell on the sand and screamed in pain. Although Li Ping and Du Juan clung to the saddle, they were still fallen. Professor Wang was not spared, and was caught by a big bull when he fell.
A camel was overly frightened, but it ran in the opposite direction in a tragic way, and was immediately pounced by the maggot king, and its sharp fangs pierced directly into the abdomen, scattering white things all over the ground.
The corpse maggot king took out his internal organs and chewed for a while, and the camel that had not died immediately let out a terrible scream, such a violent and bloody scene made Li Ping and the cuckoo forget the pain and vomit on the ground.
When the corpse maggot king was chewing on the camel organs, Xu Shan, Han Dong and Da Niu Yiyan took advantage of the night with machetes in their hands to sneak attack this thing from the side. Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo ran directly in front of the corpse maggot to confront it.
The Maggot King was clearly enjoying the delicious food, and did not care about the two tiny humans, intending to wait for him to finish eating the camels before crushing them.
Xu Shan seized the opportunity, and the three of them worked together, wielding a machete and slashing down at the long legs of the Corpse Maggot King.
"Whew!" The Corpse Maggot King was staring at Pang Weimin while chewing on a camel, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his legs on both sides. Two of the left legs were cut off, and one fell off the right. Black slime was scattered all over the floor, and it was extremely fishy.
The injured Corpse Maggot King turned around and rushed towards Xu Shan and the others like crazy, although they waved their knives to resist, they were still knocked away by the Corpse Maggot King.
After the bull landed, it didn't have time to turn over and escape, and was trampled on the ankle by one leg of the corpse maggot king, and then its sharp fangs pierced into the right thigh of the bull, causing the bull to scream in pain.
Seeing this, Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo immediately rushed over, brandished a military knife and stabbed the other long legs of the Corpse Maggot King, making him angry, picking up the big bull and throwing it out.
Xu Shan roared at the stunned students on the side to save Da Niu, and he and Han Dong went to help Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo. At this time, Liu Xiangdong and Huang Jiawei were hiding far away, and their legs and stomachs had begun to cramp.
"You two don't have to protect us, go and help the people." Li Ping shouted at the two.
"How? After all, you are girls, Wei Min has confessed, let our two male classmates must protect you, if you are injured, how can we explain to Wei Min? Liu Xiangdong immediately objected.
"That's it, I'm here to travel, and I'm not going to do anything dangerous." Huang Jiawei stepped back as he spoke, and he had already hid behind Li Ping and them.
The cuckoo turned pale with fright, grabbed Li Ping's arm tightly, and couldn't say a word. Li Ping looked at a few people and shook her head helplessly.
At this time, Zhao Aiguo got Da Niu's machete and attacked on the left with Pang Weimin, and Xu Shan and Han Dong slashed on the right. The Corpse Maggot King was attacked on his back and quickly turned his body to respond to attacks from both sides.
The two sides retreat and I attack, and you attack and I retreat, showing a tug-of-war. With its sheer size, the Maggot King occasionally used his long legs to knock over one of the four men, but when he tried to pierce the enemy with his fangs, the others slashed his legs, making it impossible for him to succeed.
After all, the Corpse Maggot King is a monster that has been mutated by the hairpin magic weapon, and it was the leader of the corpse maggot before, but now it has been mutated and has a higher IQ.
After entangling with a few people for a few minutes, it changed its tactics, avoiding Xu Shan and Han Dong, who it felt more threatened, and rushed towards Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo, who were on the weaker side, regardless of it.
This change in the scene made everyone else in the distance hold their breath, Li Ping screamed in surprise, and then closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look directly.
Seeing the Corpse Maggot King rushing over, Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo didn't have time to dodge, they were both kicked away by him with their long legs and rolled down on the sand dunes not far away. The corpse maggot king struck a blow and roared, and his sharp fangs pierced Zhao Aiguo with cold light.
Pang Weimin, who was quick-eyed, kicked Zhao Aiguo's ass fiercely and kicked Zhao Aiguo off the sand dune. Bang! With a loud bang, the fangs of the Corpse Maggot King pierced deep into the yellow sand. It was only a second away from giving Zhao Aiguo a heart-warming cold.
The night was cold, the moonlight was shining, and the killing was ferocious.
The corpse maggot king missed the blow, and immediately hissed, pulled out the fangs in the sand, and stabbed at Pang Weimin. Pang Weimin reacted quickly, hurriedly rolled to his body, poof! Poof! The big fangs almost grazed his body and pierced into the yellow sand.
However, the next blow, Pang Weimin couldn't avoid it anymore anyway, because the speed of the Corpse Maggot King was too fast. Pang Weimin only felt a tingling of his scalp, this is a feeling of death coming, he escaped with this induction several times in the past when he was fighting on the street, but what about today?
