We headed all the way east. It was dawn by this time, and the terrible miasma of smoke was spreading again, but it was nowhere near as thick as it was in the woods, and besides, we were walking along the edge of the marsh, and we were not afraid of getting lost.

But this walk is a whole day, and it is estimated that it will take dozens of miles, but where can I see the end of this swamp! It wasn't until the evening that I found a slightly dry open space on the side to rest.

This time, I said to Zhiguang and Zhijing that I was really embarrassed to let the two of them keep vigil again, and Shunzi and Da Zhuang also echoed the voice, arguing for a long time, and finally decided that Da Zhuang would keep the night for an hour first, and then replace me and Junzi. I was tired all day, and once I rested, I was very tired, and after a while, I was snoring like thunder.

I don't know how long it took, I rolled over dimly, and it seemed that I had touched an arm in my hand, fleshy, I don't know whose it was.

I took my hand off and went back to sleep, I have always been dishonest in sleeping, I sleep in bed and wake up on the roof, so I always find a place a little farther away from other people when camping, so as not to disturb others. At this time, I scolded in my confused heart, who is so unreliable, turning over and turning over to my side, I feel that this fleshy big arm must be strong, so I raised my leg in a daze and kicked him to the side, but I never expected that I didn't kick anything.

That's when I realized that something didn't seem right, the arm I had just touched, it was cold, it seemed to be still squirming, yes, it was squirming.

I opened my eyes suddenly, the bonfire had gone out at some point, and it was pitch black. The first thing that came to my mind was - dead corpses, but they still move, is it...... I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I felt like my heart was about to jump out, and I was shaking even gasping for breath, so I tried my best to stabilize my body.

I bit my tongue hard, it hurt, obviously not dreaming. At this moment, what I wanted most was a little light, so I shouted: "Da Zhuang, how is the bonfire extinguished, hurry up, wake up quickly." ”

There was a commotion among the crowd, and it is estimated that the moment I woke up, everyone was stunned, and suddenly there was a mess, and after a while, Zhijing re-lit the bonfire, although it was only a few words, but it was very long for me.

By the light of the fire, everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them, and there were large black strips of flesh all over the place, with golden markings on them, and the big ones were not much thinner than my wrists. This thing is none other than the infamous "Golden Thread Locust", a large leech that is very good at sucking blood. However, the golden-threaded locust here is many times bigger than I have ever seen, and if it is full of blood, its body will have to swell more than ten times, and I am afraid that if there are not a few of them, it will be able to suck all the blood of a strong man!

It is estimated that everyone else knows how powerful this thing is, so they heard Junko shouting: "My mother! Such a big locust has already climbed on me! ”

I looked at my body, there were several sticky ones on my arms and legs, and most of all, the ground was still crawling on top of me. I quickly grabbed one on my right leg, but this thing was wet, soft and slippery, and I couldn't grasp it at all, so I finally grabbed one and pulled it down violently, only to feel it suck tighter on my flesh, and there was a piercing pain, as if all the blood in my body had poured into its body, and my leg was numb, and I almost didn't faint. I heard the howls of other people in my ears again, and it seemed that everyone had been tricked.

I heard Hua Bo shouting: "Don't grasp it with your hands, this gold-threaded big locust has two layers of suction cups, the more you grasp it, the tighter it will be, roast it with fire, and the locusts are afraid of fire." ”

Everyone gathered around the fire in an instant and baked the golden-threaded locusts on their bodies. This trick really worked, and after a while, these strips of meat couldn't stand the heat and shrank and fell down one after another.

We all gathered around the campfire, but the big locusts on the ground were gathering more and more, and each of us could only draw my short sword and waist knife to pick up the big golden-threaded locust that was about to climb on our legs. But the number has become more and more, and they are all stacked, and the back ones are constantly squeezing the front ones into the fire, making a "Bang la Bang!" The sound was accompanied by a fishy burnt smell.

The big man shouted, "Fuck it, isn't this thing supposed to grow in water?" Why, how did you climb up? ”

Zhiguang shouted: "We are too close to the swamp, they climbed up from inside, but this insect should not be able to go far on the ground, let's each rush out together with a sword and a torch." ”

This was probably the only way now, so everyone answered, and each of them drew a fire stick from the campfire, formed a wall of fire, and pushed away the golden threaded locusts in front of them.

But after a while, a few more climbed on the body, this mouth can't care so much, everyone knows, as long as you stop, you will definitely die, I suddenly feel a little dizzy, I estimate that the blood on my body has been sucked a lot, I don't know how long I can hold on, just desperately break through in the direction away from the swamp.

At this moment, I felt as if I had stepped on something, a little soft, but not a big locust. Suddenly, in the place illuminated by the torches, a miserable white human face appeared, stretched long, like a white silk, the skin and flesh were a little wrinkled and atrophied, the eyes were wide open, the mouth was also wide open, and the expression was extremely frightened and painful. Seeing such a thing at this juncture, I don't know if it's a human or a ghost, but it can scare us living people to death anyway.

I only heard Da Da scolding: "Fuck you!" I'm going to scold my mother! As he spoke, he raised the torch and smashed it into the face.

Maybe it was because he used too much force, he stumbled, plopped, and then with that face, I don't know where he fell, everyone took a closer look, only to find that there was a gutter under their feet, and it was pitch black below, and it was impossible to see how deep it was.

This is really unlucky, first sucked dry by the locusts and buried in the fall pit, this is simply a funeral dragon.

was worried about Da Zhuang's life and death, so he listened to a strange cry below, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, he was still alive.

"Da Zhuang! Big Strong! How are you? The crowd shouted down.

I heard Da Zhuang sigh for a long time before he shouted: "Alas! Let's put it, rest assured! I'm still alive, there don't seem to be big locusts down here, so hurry down too! ”

"How are we going to go down?" Junko asked.

"Jump, jump down, you can't die!"

Judging from the distance of his voice, this gutter is estimated to be three stories high, and the situation below is not visible at all, and the bones must be broken if you jump down, but there is really no other choice at this time, these few words, and a few golden thread locusts climbed on my legs, and if you delay for a while, I am afraid that it will really become this group of miscellaneous snacks.

I had to give it a fight, and I'd rather fall to my death than feed this thing. At the moment, he threw the fire stick down, followed the trajectory of the falling firelight, and jumped down.

I found that this gutter is really not shallow, much more than I estimated, but jumping down will not hurt at all, because although the ground under your feet is very hard, but there is some water, although it is not up to the knee, but it still unloads a lot of falling force, but you can't see the situation below at the top, and you feel like you have jumped off the cliff when you jump off the cliff.

As soon as I wanted to greet the people above, I heard a "poof" sound and jumped down, and then Zhiguang and Zhijing also fell down with Hua Bo.

The fire sticks in the hands of the crowd immediately illuminated the entire gutter. The gutter was only five or six zhang wide, with no end in sight on both sides, and there was muddy water on the ground that was half a foot too high, and under his feet it was hard, like stones, and there were several skeletons scattered around it, all of which were probably dead under the mouths of these gold-threaded locusts.

"It's like a small river, it's just drying up, and there's no water." Straight way.

Da Zhuang shook his head and said: "Most of the water bubbles on the edge of the swamp should be connected to the swamp, and the big locusts will definitely crawl over, so let's climb to the other side quickly." ”

"Don't worry, it's not like your average blister." Waber Road.

Zhiguang suddenly exclaimed: "Here, there is a male corpse here. ”

Looking in his direction, there was indeed a male corpse, which seemed to have been dead for a long time. Da Zhuang said: "This corpse fell with me, and the face just now was his." Probably thinking that the panicked look when he saw this face just now was a bit embarrassing, he put on a nonchalant look, glanced at the corpse, and continued: "If I hadn't tripped over him, I wouldn't have fallen with a dead man, it's really fucking frustrating...... Ay...... Why do I think this guy looks familiar? Looks like I've seen it somewhere! ”

When I heard this, I also looked at the face of the male corpse, and immediately recognized it, and exclaimed, "This, isn't this the lascivious guard of General Han De in Yache City?" ”

Junzi also slapped his head: "That's right, it's him, the ugly ghost with a word and eyebrows, flirting with other girls, turning into ashes, I know him, he deserves to die here!" ”

Waber hurried over to check, he had been dead for a long time, and his body was beginning to rot. He must have been killed by the golden-threaded locust in this swamp, and there were no wounds on his body, but the blood had been sucked dry.

Junzi still didn't give up: "He is innocent of death, but how can he die here?" Then, General Han De doesn't look like a villain, how can it be related to this Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses? As he spoke, he searched the corpse again, but found nothing.

Everyone shook their heads in confusion, and no one knew what was going on. I had a vague sense of foreboding that it was clear that we weren't the only ones here, and that things might be far more complicated than we thought......
