Chapter 274: Tyrant Leech
I looked into the water, and found that the water was very clear, and there were some small fish in it, which were frightened and fled in all directions, and after observing the surrounding situation, I found that the whole cave did not show any signs of human excavation, it seemed that all of them were naturally formed, and the further I went, the more flat the terrain became, and the wider the cave.
He said that the village captain had brought people into this cave several times, and they all returned because of the lack of tools, and now it seems that this cave is not too rugged, at least we came all the way, except for that sharp turn, there is not much thrill.
Wang Chuyi opened his mouth and said, "It's the flood season now, it is estimated that we are catching up with the continuous rainy weather, the water level has risen very much, covering the road at the bottom of the original cave, let's take the waterway, of course, much faster than them on foot, and don't worry about any deep ditch can't go down, the water has already been filled." ”
As I spoke, the kayak slowly moved forward, at this time we could already hear the cries of animals, and in the position above our heads, there was a very subtle chirping sound, I instinctively raised the flashlight to shine upward, only to find that there were hundreds of bats hanging upside down above our heads, these bats are not large, no different from what we see on weekdays, not the kind of terrifying vampire bats, seeing this, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old Bai, look at the front, the lava rock in front!"
Wang Chuyi's exclamation directly made my spirit that had just slowed down nervous again, and I hurriedly raised the flashlight to shine forward, this photo, only to find that it turned out that about ten meters in front of us, stone maids began to appear, these stone maids were arranged very neatly, one by one, only one meter apart, looking like guards standing on both sides of the river, guarding this mysterious area for thousands of years.
When the kayak got closer, I raised my flashlight and took a closer look, although there are more of these stone maids, but the shape and appearance, most of them are the same, even if there are differences, it is extremely subtle, negligible, but due to the damp and cold underground environment, the surface of the stone figurines has grown green moss, the coverage area is not small, and the outline of the stone maid's facial features is completely blurred.
"Looks like we've entered the range of the tomb group." I took out the waterproof map, opened it and looked at it, judging from the cross-sectional map taken by the satellite, our current location is about 30 kilometers away from the disappeared ancient city.
Just as I was looking down at the map, Wang Chuyi suddenly shouted, "Be careful! Get down! ”
I didn't react for a moment, I just felt something hook my neck, and the kayak that was moving forward stopped because of me.
I only felt a strangulation in my throat, and although it wasn't very strong, I couldn't help but let out a series of coughing sounds.
Wang Chuyi hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" ”
I looked down, only to find that it was an iron chain with green stains on it, it looked like some years, the two sides of the iron chain were fixed to the necks of two slightly larger stone maids, the whole horizontal river surface, because the light here was very dark, the speed of the kayak was fast, and when I found the iron chain, Wang Chu repeatedly reminded me that it was too late.
As soon as the iron chain was hit by me like this, the stone statues on both sides began to sway, the foothold was unstable, and they fell into the river. ”
Wang Chuyi sat in front and didn't know what was going on, I shouted like this, waved the oar and rowed forward desperately, I sat in the back, and saw it really, those stone maids didn't know what material they were made of, as soon as they fell into the water, they began to dissolve, as if they were a huge piece of dough, while dissolving, there was a pale green thing coming out of it, and after a while, a piece of water was dyed green, and it kept surging in our direction.
The speed of these things is very fast, although Wang Chuyi and I have been paddling hard with all our might, and the speed of the kayak is also very fast, but we are still chased by these green things, I looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but gasp, "It's a leech, a tyrant leech!" ”
Wang Chuyi heard that it was a tyrant leech, and he couldn't help but speed up the paddle, this kind of tyrant leech, in fact, is also a kind of leech, but they are the king of leeches in the jungle, the body size is larger than the ordinary leech, can grow to six or seven centimeters long, and there are barb-like teeth in the mouth, once bitten by this tyrant leech, it will be very troublesome.
Although we had been paddling with all our strength, we could not swim as fast as the tyrant leeches in the water, and we were soon surrounded by swarms of leeches, because the equipment we carried was relatively heavy, and the kayak draft was relatively deep, and we saw that many tyrant leeches came up from the water, attached to the side of the kayak, and began to climb up.
This tyrant leech is an amphibian, with a very tenacious vitality, and although it swims fast in the water, it moves a little faster than a snail on land.
"Lao Bai, you should think of a way!"
Seeing that the leeches were constantly climbing onto the kayak, we tried to row forward, keeping the kayak speed not slowing down, trying to rush out of this water as soon as possible, and at the same time to drive away the tyrant leeches that were slowly climbing up around us, and we couldn't think of any good way for a while.
At this moment, I only felt a sudden pain in the back of my hand, and I couldn't help but scream, and when I looked down, it turned out that because my paddling movement was too big, I threw up some tyrant leeches attached to the pulp, and they fell on the back of my hand, and the barbed mouthparts pierced into my skin at once, and began to suck blood greedily.
As soon as Wang Chu heard my scream, he quickly turned around and saw the growing leech on the back of my hand, so he wanted to come over to help, and pulled the leech off the back of my hand, but I hurriedly stopped him, "Don't!" Don't drag, these tyrant leeches have barb-like teeth on their mouthparts, and now they bite into the flesh to suck blood, and if you pull it, his head will be broken in the skin, and it will be very troublesome. ”
Wang Chuyi looked at me anxiously, "Then what should I do!" "As I spoke, the Tyrant leech on the back of my hand had doubled in size, and was rapidly expanding in size.
These tyrant leeches, which are about six centimeters long, can keep sucking blood, and can suck up to six or seven times their own volume, and when these tyrant leeches are full, they are the size of a balloon, and one of them can suck people into shock, if six or seven bite together, they will definitely die if they are not dealt with in time.
