Chapter 211: Five Toad Skins
I don't know if it's an absolute law. What happened next. It was completely beyond my expectations. And it was the worst possible outcome that deviated from what I thought. Moving on the bright side.
The giant toads didn't attack us this time. Instead, I was excited to catch those big mosquitoes and eat them. A picture of greed. It's completely different from what they just looked like.
I rejoiced: "I thought it was a chaser." I didn't expect it to be a rescuer. Persist and persist. There is salvation. ”
The three of us suddenly gained more strength. While dealing with those big mosquitoes. While moving forward slowly. Try to stay away from those giant toads.
In that mountain. I've seen the magic of the ecological chain. Unexpectedly. In this place, I enjoyed the great battle between the natural enemies. I don't know whether to be happy or depressed.
After the giant toad appears in the sky. The big mosquitoes are losing interest in us. One heart wants to escape.
The huge and tight encirclement collapsed in an instant. Countless large mosquitoes scattered and fled for their lives.
We let out a long sigh of relief. I only feel that it is the aftermath of the catastrophe. But because those giant toads don't mean to us after all. We don't dare to slack off completely. After a slight adjustment. Continue to rush towards the lotus-shaped lampstand.
We are moving forward in a chaotic "war". All I heard was the disturbing sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings. It's the sound of a giant toad eating. It's like the worst symphony in the world. It makes me feel uncomfortable to hear it.
Not much. We finally arrived at the Lotus Menora.
I'm worried that there are too many people and the action is too obvious. and Shen Dali stayed in the middle of the stone steps. Let Leng Yue go alone to get the lamp oil.
The sound of mosquitoes has become less and less. It is estimated that the "massacre" over there has come to an end.
Shen Dali and I waited for a while. I don't see the cold moon coming down. I'm a little worried. Let Shen Dali wait for me in the same place. Walked up alone to find the cold moon.
When I arrived at the menorah. I saw that Leng Yue was looking down. Don't know what you're looking at.
"What the hell. Hurry up and grab your things and go. I hurried.
Leng Yue turned her head to look at me. He raised his hand and beckoned. Motioned for me to come over.
I frowned and stepped forward. Walk up to him. He asked impatiently, "What's wrong?" ”
Cold Moon pointed to the inside of the lampstand. Say, "Look." ”
I followed the cold moon's pointing. Taken aback. I actually saw it. The inner part of the lampstand is located on all sides of the perimeter. Waxy lamp oil was constantly leaking out of imperceptible crevices.
And there is one place. It's like it's blocked. Wax oil is scattered and sputtered.
Leng Yue took a deep breath. Slowly pull out an iron chopstick. Shake hard to the maximum. Slowly reach out to the clogged gap. I dug it hard. I actually took out a skin.
He withdrew the iron chopsticks. Spread the skin on the ground and show me.
That skin was huge. It's bumpy above. It's very ugly. It looks a bit like ...... The skin of a giant toad.
I nodded and said, "That's exactly what I guessed." ”
Cold Moon blinked her green eyes. Hold up four fingers and say, "Get four more." ”
I immediately understood what he meant. I think it really should be. But. We've just experienced that kind of danger. I don't want to risk everyone's lives here anymore.
Leng Yue seemed to see my inner thoughts. Don't wait for me to speak. whispered, "Wait for me here". Then a few steps to run. Jumped off the lampstand.
Not much. I saw Leng Yue sneak up on a giant toad that was happily eating mosquitoes with iron chopsticks. Then he ran in the direction of the big crater.
I have mixed emotions inside. He shook his head helplessly. Turned around and stepped on the stone steps to return to Shen Dali's side.
Shen Dali asked me anxiously, "Fifth brother." What's wrong. Is there something wrong? ”
I shook my head helplessly and said, "It's fine." Wait a minute. ”
Just as I finished speaking. The ground shook violently again. This was accompanied by a deafening sound of the machine.
Shen Dali's face changed greatly. Urgently: "What's going on?" This place won't collapse. ”
I tapped Shen on the shoulder. Signal him not to be too nervous. And asked him, "Do you know what is in the menorah above?" ”
Shen Dali didn't look nervous when he saw me. I also relaxed. Raising his eyebrows, he replied, "Isn't it lamp oil?" ”
I said, "It's lamp oil." But do you know what's made of it. ”
Shen Dali frowned and thought for a while. The brow suddenly relaxed. His eyes widened at me. Ask: "Could it be ......?"
He's not stupid. I'll only remind you slightly. He would be able to understand what was going on.
I asked again, "This time." You know what Cold Moon is going to do. ”
Shen vigorously shook his head like a rattle. "I don't know. Fifth brother. You didn't ask me. Let's just say it. ”
I nodded and said, "We had a plan." It is to use our clothes to dip in lamp oil to burn those poisonous insects in the ding. But. Now Leng Yue and I have found a better alternative. ”
Shen Dali's eyes lit up. Busy asked, "What's that?" ”
I held up a finger. Smiled and said, "Toad skin." ”
Then. The ground shakes stop. The ringing also stopped. But not much. Vibrations and noises were heard in unison.
Shen Dali and I tried to relieve the oppressive atmosphere. Sit on the stone steps. Chatting while waiting for the cold moon. But it's all about unnutritious topics. And there is a match and no match. After all, they are all on the side of the cold moon.
Remember when I mentioned it in a conversation with myself in a nightmare. Cold Moon has been taking advantage of us. But he does take us very seriously. Always rush to the front when there is danger.
Maybe. Such people can be friends.
It's that Zhang Yi. What exactly is he?
And also. How since I got out of prison. All tombs are associated with relief balls. And why does that haunting Mr. Cui be touched by me every time.
There are so many questions on my mind. The more I thought about it, the more upset I became, and the more I thought about it, the more headaches I felt.
That's right. Mr. Cui, there are still a few people left.
It's not that I'm ruthless. I really hope that. They're all hanging here. Don't let me happen again.
I'm thinking nonsense. All is calm again. The cold moon walked back like a leisurely walk in a short time.
He stepped up the stone steps. Met me and Shen Dali. Pointed upward. He said to me, "I'll go up." ”
I nodded. He and Shen Dali got up and walked up.
When I saw the toad skin on the ground. Shen Dali was dumbfounded. Then he was annoyed: "I knew it would be like this." My clothes were kept. ”
He used his coat as a container for lamp oil. It really doesn't seem to be useful now.
The three of us waited by the candlestick for a while. Only then did I see waxy lamp oil flowing out. It didn't take long for the second skin to come. The third leather ......
A full five toad skins. It was stained with waxy lamp oil.
Think of the raw material of this lamp oil. I just felt my scalp tingle. A flurry of nausea.
Leng Yue didn't say a word, and folded the five skins together with iron chopsticks. Tie it to the end of the iron chopsticks with a transparent silk thread. Save me and Shen Dali from enduring the nausea and trouble.
Then. We got off the menorary. to the wall. Go up the stone steps. I returned to the finch room on the third floor.
