Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Devil Bug
Just as Chen Yun and I were talking, Lao Zhong had already loaded the flares on the launcher, stood up and aimed, and asked Chen Yun whether he should shoot down or up.
We don't know anything about the environment here, and the flares will produce a very terrifying high temperature when they are fired, and the thing will shoot out in the wrong place, hitting the combustibles, and then it will be lively, so the old bell is very cautious, raising his hand to hold the gun, and does not immediately pull the trigger.
Chen Yun thought about it, snatched my strong light flashlight again, and took a picture of the crack in the ground, the surrounding area was still dark, and the strong light could not find the bottom at all, I suspected that this crack in the ground may not be as deep as imagined, the reason why the whole picture could not be detected with a searchlight tool was just because the stones in the crack could absorb the light source.
The premise for people to observe things with both eyes is that there must be a reflection of light in the eyes, but if the object you observe can absorb all the light sources and cannot complete the reflection of light, then even if you stand under the sun, there is no way to see this kind of object clearly, and what you can see in the end is only darkness.
This theory is a good explanation of the situation we are in at the moment, and it is for this reason that I hope to cut out a few rocks from here and study them.
Chen Yun said, "Let's go up, this cave is very open, it should be no problem to hit up!" ”
"Good!" As soon as Chen Yun's words were finished, Lao Zhong fired a shot at the top of his head.
"Bang!"
The suddenness of the shot startled me, and as soon as the flare was fired, a strong light was emitted, and the burning phosphorus formed a very large light source in the air, reflecting the entire crack in the ground.
With such a violent light, the stone should not be able to absorb it all in a short time, and I soon saw Chen Yun take out his camera, press the shutter to the vicinity, and continue to take pictures.
Endure the dazzling light, I put my head over and look into the sky, this space is indeed very large, but the strange thing is that above the cave above our heads, there are all kinds of thick chains, crossed densely, almost like a spider web, followed by the chain under the inverted lotus, followed by this space seems to be closed, there is a dark passage on both sides, it looks like a house, that is, closed, the drop is very large, rough estimates, at least nearly 100 meters high.
The flare emitted an extremely dazzling beam, and after the white light rushed out of the head, it flew directly towards the top of the cave, but when it flew out, it seemed to hit a chain, splashing a lot of sparks, and then falling again.
"Beware!" Chen Yun shouted and hurriedly retreated along the hole behind him.
The flare was blocked by the chain, and it was about to fall down soon, and with the strong light came a heat wave, this thing can release hundreds of degrees of heat in the air, and it can almost be used as a *, if it falls and hits the body, what will it feel like, everyone doesn't want to try it easily.
Chen Yun took us to dodge quickly, but fortunately, the falling flare rushed to the middle of the crack, and did not return along the same path, the big stone in my heart fell to the ground, and before I could catch my breath, I saw the flare fall on the chain that we had just passed, bounced some, and then it was a graceful arc, falling straight down.
We instinctively chased after it, came to the edge of the cliff mouth, and watched the falling bright light bullet fall to the depth of the crack, sure enough, the crack is not deep, roughly swept with a glance, almost ten meters of drop, but those stones can absorb the light source, with a flashlight can not illuminate, so it will give us an illusion, as if the crack can directly lead to the depths of the earth.
However, when we were lying on the edge of the crack in the ground and collectively looked down, we found that the "magic on the other side" on the black stone wall was actually stimulated by the strong light, all of them stretched out their bodies and their rhizomes stood upright.
Immediately afterwards, there was another particularly strange picture, the full and dilated "lotus petal" shaped eyes, actually blinking and blinking, as if they were alive, and the petals were filled with a large stream of phosphorus powder, like fireflies, emitting this faint light, and a little bit with the air flow to rise, looking at the posture, as if coming at us.
At first, I wasn't worried, but I was surprised by how those glowing objects like "phosphorus powder" were produced, but as they floated up little by little, the distance gradually narrowed, and the size became larger and larger, I realized that the petals of the flower emitted were "phosphorus powder", but insects the size of fireflies, and their wings as thin as cicada wings were "buzzing" in the air, making a dense sound.
Fluorescent insects flew all over the sky, reflecting the entire underground space like a galaxy, and there were constantly flickering dots approaching us, densely filling people's sights, and more and more.
"It's not good, let's get out of here, this is the devil worm that lives on the devil on the other side, don't let them bite!" I was still pondering, but Chen Yun suddenly stood up, waved into the air, and shouted nervously.
Then the number of bugs flying towards us increased, like a large moving star, getting closer and closer.
I noticed the horror reflected in Chen Yun's eyes, and when I saw this, I immediately got up, rushed to the edge and dragged Ge Zhuang, who was trying forward.
This is where the chain connects, and soon a large number of fluorescent "big moths" pounce on us, Ge Zhuang was startled, and hurriedly waved those fireflies with his hand.
At this time, a firefly flew in front of me, I took a look, and suddenly found that these glowing dots were not fireflies, let alone large moths, they did not have such huge wings, a pair of fleshy wings emitted this faint fluorescence, which seemed to be very beautiful, but there were barb-like forelimbs growing under the abdomen, and the belly was bulging, as if it could be burst at any time, the lower jaw was pointed and long, and there were also barb-like spines, but there were no teeth, but it looked extraordinarily hideous.
Since they flew relatively close, I could see very clearly that the belly of this moth was very bulging, like the shape of a woman pregnant, frantically fanning its thin wings, constantly looking for an opportunity to lie on the back of my and Ge Zhuang's hands.
Damn it!
At this time, I had clearly sensed that something was wrong, and quickly waved my hand to drag Ge Zhuang back, but the "moth" was like a maggot on the tarsal bones, and it flew into a large area, rushing towards the two of us frantically, densely like raindrops.
The force of this collision is very small, and I don't feel pain, but this scene is too weird, I don't know what the origin of these insects is, and I don't dare to let them get wet, so I quickly wave my arms and slap them, shaking off some of the insects that have been lying on us, and at the same time stepping on them with my feet.
The bugs that were stepped on burst out of a green slurry, which smelled terrible and emitted an extremely foul smell, and in the abdominal cavity of the exploding bugs, there were white eggs the size of sesame seeds, just like oviparous fish roe, covered with a layer of white mucous membrane on the surface, very brittle, and the "click" sound of breaking when stepped on with your foot, just like stepping on an eggshell.
Because there were too many "moths" in the pounce, Ge Zhuang and I didn't have time to take a closer look, and retreated while waving, and at the same time shouted sharply, "What are these?" ”
Suddenly, a flash of fire jumped up, Chen Yun took off his coat, lit it directly with a lighter, and then rushed over quickly, waving his shirt to drive away these "moths", waving his burning shirt while shouting, "Didn't I tell you, these are devil worms, don't let them bite, otherwise they will die miserably!" ”
"Fatty, leave those moths alone, quit first!" I yelled, turned my arms back, shook my shoulders, and the bag fell to the ground on its own, then I reached out and grabbed the deformed shovel, rounded my arm and waved it vigorously.
These moths are not big, the largest is only about ten centimeters, and the small ones are only the size of a fingernail, and they can't be chopped at all, but fortunately, they seem to be very afraid of the fire on Chen Yun's clothes, so they don't dare to rush over on a large scale for the time being.
"Damn, these bugs are disgusting, too!" Ge Zhuang waved his hand and retreated, and coldly stepped on the bag I threw on the ground, the toes failed to touch the ground, and the body shook down, but the whole fell down, and after the pile of meat fell, it rolled along the crack in the ground, and almost rolled down again.
At this time, I found that the stones on the surface of the ground crack formed a slope, although the slope is not steep, but Ge Zhuang is constantly rolling down, and it is also because these stones can absorb the light source, so we are not familiar with the environment.
Although the drop under this crack is not too big, it is more than ten meters high, if Ge Zhuang's good meat rolls down directly, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that the fat of his body will have to be pressed into a meat patty.
"Fatty!" Seeing this, my heart tightened, and I grabbed it on the ground, thanks to the virtue of this dead fat man's ancestors, fate should not be folded here, I waved my palm wildly, and actually pulled a rope, and I didn't have time to think about it, and threw the rope forward.
Half of Ge Zhuang's body had already rolled out of the crack in the ground, and a hand was free in the air, also out of survival instinct, he grabbed the rope very quickly, and then with a scream, he dragged down with the rope.
Fortunately, at this time, the old clock also came back quickly, successfully pulled the other end of the rope, and pulled it back.
But Ge Zhuang's weight was too great, and Lao Zhong couldn't hold him at all in his eagerness, the soles of his feet slipped, and he saw that he was about to fly forward, seeing this, I hurriedly stood up, pressed Lao Zhong's stomach with my back, and kicked back with both feet, so that Lao Zhong's body was stable.
At the same time, Chen Yun frantically slapped the moth on the top of his head with his shirt, and shouted, "Fatty, you hurry up and pull the rope up!" ”
