Chapter Sixty-Six: The Giant Hive
Although the burden on the body is great, as long as the consciousness is still some, at least we know what the current situation is like, so that we can give ourselves some opportunities to react.
Because when we let go, we were sticking to the bank, so in order to ensure that we were not washed too close to the middle of the river, I grabbed Ye Xiaolu with one hand, and the other hand was always sticking to the shore and walking backwards, so that at least we could buffer our speed if we encountered something that could be fixed.
There were so many crevices and sharp stones on the shore of this rock, and before it had been washed out a few meters, it was drenched in blood that had already been cut against the palm of the hand, and when viewed underwater, the blood was floating at the bottom of the water like a red cloth.
But the good thing is that we haven't been washed up in the middle of the river, and we're very lucky to be on the shore, or we will be spattered with blood on the spot, if we don't say where we go, just the dead bodies jumping back and forth and down, if they drag one of them, I guess we'll have blood splashed in the river on the spot.
To get back to the point, the speed of the water is very fast, and it doesn't take long for us to enter a darkness, and I know that now we are walking in an underground river cave, often in the mountains, the karst caves of this river are as intricate as sewers, there is no distinction between southeast and west, as long as you have entered, you can only wait until you see the light of day to know where you are.
And there are a lot of stalagmites and stone pillars staggered inside, if your life is not good, where you are poked and hung is a dead end, but the situation in front of you is not controllable by human beings at all, and it is up to God to rush where you can go.
But the good news is that Ye Xiaolu hasn't fainted yet, because I know that her hand is also grabbing me, and then I was annoyed again, it would be good to bring a head-mounted spotlight at that time, at least not like this now.
I don't know how long it took for me to find that not only did I feel uncomfortable under the control of others, but I also didn't feel very comfortable when I was deprived of control of time, until when we looked up and breathed, I felt that I was breathing much more easily, and I was happy, I must have rushed out of the river hole.
Although I still can't see my fingers, at least the fact that I can breathe proves that we have floated out of that narrow space, and we can't always soak in the water like that, otherwise we will have to be swollen.
After the two of them tried to get their heads up, I told her to climb up to the shore little by little with my body, and then pull me up.
Ye Xiaolu's speed is very slow, not to mention the problem of big currents, that is, it takes a long time for her weak body to rub on it little by little, but this little girl is very smart, after going ashore, she didn't drag me directly, but first turned on the flashlight plugged in her body to find some hope for herself.
Then, without looking around, he undid the belt of his trousers, put it on my wrist, made it into a tighter and tighter button, and began to pull me up on the rock I was holding.
I know that the reason she did this was that she didn't have much strength, and if she used her hands rashly, she would probably not be able to catch me, and when I went ashore, the two of them would be completely out of strength, and they would fall asleep directly on the ground.
When I opened my eyes again, I was woken up by a sharp stinging sensation, this feeling should have been stung by some poisonous insect, don't be a scorpion, it is very possible, after all, this is also the underground of the primeval forest, and some poisonous insects, snakes and ants are normal.
I cursed, picked up the strong flashlight that Ye Xiaolu put on the ground before, and looked at the small bag on the arm that was already red, although it was extremely depressed, but it was nothing to be stung, as long as it wasn't poisonous.
Then I began to look carefully at the environment we were in, and the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became, the more surprised I became, the walls that had been cut, the weeds between the crevices, and the turbulent underground river, wasn't this still the same huge cavern we had been in before?
What the hell is going on? Imaginary space? Parallel universes? Or did you fucking fall for illusion? Did you meet the Uchiha clan?
You can't always toss me like this, you really treat me as a slave, and you can shoot a cannon if you say it.
This scolding kung fu was stung on the neck again, this time I reacted in time, slapped it, pinched it into my hand and looked, it turned out to be a human head bee, but this head is a bit big, it has to be the size of a matchbox, this kind of stinger is similar to a needle, but it is not poisonous, and the stinging sensation on the piercing is unbearable.
I know this head bee, it is also a special product of Qinling, it is highly poisonous, as long as a person is stung, it is a local severe pain, burning redness and swelling or its blisters, if it is stung by a swarm of bees with strong virulence, there will be dizziness, chills and cramps and even fainting.
If you are stung, in addition to going to the hospital, it is relieved by the smear, like TV, as soon as you are bitten by a poisonous insect, you will suck it with your mouth, and the effect will not be five percent, thinking of this, I immediately looked at Ye Xiaolu, her condition was already relatively poor, and if she was stung by a poisonous bee once, it was estimated that even Da Luo Immortal would not be able to save her.
Fortunately, when I was in a cave before, I put a raincoat on her, and after I took it off from her, I covered her body, thinking that as long as it could cover the bare skin, the raincoat we brought when we came was the same windbreaker as the army, and the material was very thick, which is also the reason why the saber-toothed lizards in the miasma had never been able to bite through, and the disadvantage was of course that it was heavy and inconvenient to carry.
Don't talk about this, Ye Xiaolu will carry some medicines and insect repellent powder and the like, I turned it out and pounced on her a little, and began to get it for myself, just when I smeared it to the red and swollen area, I was stung again for the third time.
If one is a coincidence, then twice is bad luck, but a third time is sure to prove that we are in trouble.
I wasn't sure if we were in the next cave or if we had been circled in the previous cave by the current, so I had to turn on the flashlight and look around again to see if there was anything I could discern.
Maybe it's also the reason for the sequelae, I specially found a lot of angles to shine towards the top, but it was pitch black and I didn't know if the light pillar was not far enough to tell if something was falling, and then I looked towards the opposite bank, I kept an eye on it, because our equipment was still in the last cave, if we really just went around in a circle, then the hiking bag I hid in the corner must still be there.
But apparently not, the rocks are all in the same position, but the bag is not there, and if I have to appear three times in a row in a place where even the details are so identical, I really can't be sure if I'm spinning in place.
As he spoke, he was stung for the fourth time.
Insect repellent powder doesn't work, then I can only wrap myself more tightly, I am now wearing a quick-drying shirt, although the sleeves are rolled up and can be put down, but after so many tribulations, there is no good place on the body for a long time, not necessarily able to block much, the important thing is that now what is more than the pain is the feeling of exhaustion.
Since we set off from Ping'an County, we haven't had a good rest, and I don't even know what time it is now, and the dial of the diving watch that looks like thousands of dollars has already seeped into a layer of mist, and I stopped, and I was reluctant to throw it away with the intention of going back for a refund.
Plus now that Ye Xiaolu is like this again, I really don't know how long I can resist, but the root of the problem still has to be found, and the sudden appearance of so many head bees must be the reason, continue to look in this cave.
The fifth and sixth came one after the other, and I finally found a huge beehive on the opposite wall, which looked about the size of the golden cup of the White Beer, and was covered with human head bees that looked like they were wriggling inside that and that.
After the light pillar of my flashlight hit, it slid to the side in an instant, I was afraid that this group of human head bees that had been in the dark for a long time would startle them after being stimulated by the bright light, and it would be troublesome to pounce on us when the time came, and the attack power of this group of human head bees was much more powerful than the hundreds of dead corpses just now.
Just as I turned my head and was about to return to Ye Xiaolu's side, a frightening white face suddenly appeared in front of me, and I was immediately frightened to scream and drop the strong flashlight in my hand to the ground.
But I don't have a sapper shovel in my hand, how to attack it, and I am not sure that I can pinch her cervical spine at once, I can only run, and before I can take a step, I heard Ye Xiaolu's weak voice: "Squat!" ”
As he spoke, he heard the sound of the wings flapping of the bees, and the direction was correct, it must have flown towards us.
To say that the two of us have experienced so much now, the tacit understanding has really become a subconscious behavior, after I squatted, Ye Xiaolu put her raincoat directly on, just covering all the light of the strong flashlight, but from this angle, her face is even more terrifying, just like the effect of turning on a flashlight to your face in the middle of the night and looking in the mirror.
I whispered, "When are you going to get up, you don't have to make a sound when you walk." ”
Ye Xiaolu's eyelids drooped, as if she might faint at any time, she looked like she was even breathing so hard at this time, and then smiled bitterly at me and said, "I'm walking now, it's strange to be able to bring out movement, I'm so tired." ”
I pinched her face and said, "Don't fall asleep when you say this, if you do, you may not be able to get up." ”
Ye Xiaolu said: "Well, but our current equipment is gone, how can we pass this level, even if we get out of here, it is still so far away from the location of the water droplets, how can we get by." ”
I comforted her and said, "If you can't get by, you won't go, don't be afraid, didn't you say that it's actually good if we can die together, and there will be a companion on the way." ”
Ye Xiaolu squeezed out a smile again, nodded and said to me, "Hug me, okay?" ”
The moment the two embraced, the head bees outside crackled on the raincoats like raindrops.
