Chapter 31: The Buddha's Hand Society
Seeing that those sub-cut skin mantis are getting closer and closer to us, we can only keep moving closer to the middle. Now the only way out is the hole above our heads where we came in, but it is also a meter high from us, and it will take some time to climb up, as long as those cut-skin mantis raise and attack, then we will definitely be dead.
Tang Haitang looked at the insect tide surging up from all directions, frowned, and said to us sideways: "You will listen to my command later, and I will immediately climb up the entrance of the cave when I say that you will run, and at the same time, I will scatter the only cinnabar left in the iron umbrella to delay us for some time." ”
The bustard and I nodded. Vigilantly staring at the dense sand and gravel gang around him. To be honest, my feet are already a little shaky now.
The insect tide is already ready to move. Almost all of the skin-cutting mantis showed their wings hidden in the carapace, buzzing and flapping, and the bugs in front of them were already suspended in mid-air, like arrows ready to be attacked.
"Ready!" Tang Haitang clenched the iron umbrella in his hand. We involuntarily held our breath and raised our heads slightly to look at the hole above our heads.
However, at this moment, the group of tailoring mantis suddenly buzzed without warning, and immediately flew towards us! That's almost a complete unresponsiveness! A swarm of bees is like a huge surge of black gas, directly rushing to the face!
"Get down!"
The bustard shouted, then pressed my shoulder, and pressed me to the ground with a hard press, and then Tang Haitang opened the iron umbrella in his hand in front of him, trying to open a "umbrella shield" for us, but we also know that this insect can't dodge when it hits, even if the "umbrella shield" can block the front, but there is still behind, that is, like a wall to push you to firmly surround you.
My mind was almost completely blank at the time, and the only thought that still existed was that we were dead. Looking at the group of black pressure on the cutting of skin mantis, it is like a bloody mouth of a fierce beast, and it seems to be going to devour you in the next second, leaving me with nowhere to escape.
Time was only a split second, and the group of tailoring mantis had already approached us in an instant, and my cheek even touched their cold, thin cicada wings!
I'm ready to be drilled into a hornet's nest by these bugs.
But just as they were about to hit our skin, these cut-skin mantis suddenly changed direction and flew up towards our wounds! Patches poured out of the holes in the top of the head!
I was shocked: Isn't this bug's target us? Why did you suddenly turn around and fly away? The three of us felt a little incredible, the thousand or so skin mantis were like magma erupting from a volcanic eruption, pouring out of the hole as thick as a stone pillar, and the light was impermeable, completely obscuring the moonlight spilled above our heads. The cave only became dark for a moment, and even the kerosene lamp in our hands could only illuminate our faces with surprised expressions.
The swarm of tailoring mantis flew out of the hole as we watched, and the process lasted for seven or eight seconds! You can see the sheer number of these bugs! As the last of the cut-skin mantis flew out of the cave and disappeared into the narrow field of vision that we could only see, we saw a tall, lanky figure standing at the edge of the cave with a lit cigar in his mouth, looking down at the three of us with a calm expression.
I could barely see him by the sparkling light of the fire from his cigar. Surprise!
"It's that dog agent!"
The bustard was the first to shout. He also recognized this person, yes, this figure is the same spy we met at the train station earlier!
Looking at the spy again, there was still no wave on his face, and the small disc eyes on the bridge of his nose reflected a row of white light. He seems to have twitched the muscles on his face except for smashing the cigarette, and the rest of the time his face is as still as a pool of stagnant water.
"Who the hell are you?" The old bustard looked up and shouted at him.
At this time, I saw that the spy raised his hand and buckled the hat on his head, lowered it, and covered his face, he took off the cigar in his hand, raised his hand, and then hooked a very strange smile on the corner of his mouth, as if mocking us.
It was then that I saw his exposed left wrist through the sleeve of his shirt. Sure enough, the bustard's guess was not wrong, he was really a demon thief! Because he also wears a string of demon-avoiding ropes on his left wrist! In addition to this, I also noticed a tattoo on it, which was a black anise flower, as if it had been folded out of rice paper dyed with ink, and the star anise was pointed on the skin of the wrist.
At this time, I noticed that Tang Haitang's eyes lit up, she seemed to have found something, and the expression on her face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
The agent glanced at us again, flicked his arm and threw the unburned cigar he was holding into the cave, then turned away with his hands behind his back.
At this time, Tang Haitang suddenly said:
"It's someone from the Buddha's Hand Society!"
Before I could react, I saw her take the first step, tiptoeing, jumped up, and jumped directly out of the cave by stepping on the stone wall of the cave entrance, and then quickly turned around to chase the spy.
I stayed where I was and there was some wood: what would be the Buddha's hand that Tang Haitang was talking about? The word sounds familiar, but I can't remember what it means.
But the old bustard obviously knew what Tang Haitang meant, and his face changed significantly after hearing this, and he grinned and scolded: "Damn, I'm unlucky to be home, and I bumped into the ancestor of the Buddha's Hand Society!" Xu Xuan, chase! As soon as the words fell, he rolled up his sleeves and climbed up towards the entrance of the cave.
At this time, I finally remembered: this Buddha's hand will be mentioned by the boatman of the river when I first went to the demon market, it is a huge gang in the line of robbing demon mounds, and it is also the largest proprietor behind the demon markets in various places!
I remember that when Liu Da Crooked Mouth discussed this matter with me and Lao Bustard, he told us that our action this time was closely related to the mound of the demon beast, and this gluttonous mound is rumored to have a rich mountain of gold and silver, and it has always been a huge amount of oil and water that all demon thieves want to fish, after all, the business of stealing the demon mound is very chaotic, and the world is also very chaotic, and many people can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals or even kill them, so Liu Da Crooked Mouth has always wanted to keep the news secret, but now, it is estimated that the news has been leaked out.
I looked up. The next thing we have to face is the Buddha's Hand Society, which is the deepest in the water on the Demon Thief Tomb.
