"You've seen that thing?" I asked curiously.

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard it." Soba frowned, "Did you hear any other sounds when you saw it?" ”

I thought about it for a while, shook my head, and said that there was no sound at all, and the silence was very strange.

"That's not right....... The thing I remember...... Every time it appears, there is a sound......." Soba whispered, "When that monster appears, it will bring the sound of electricity, crackling, and even thunder. ”

"Why is this related to the sound of electricity and thunder......." I looked at Soba in confusion, "What kind of monster are you talking about?" ”

Soba looked at me and said.

"Death Worms in Mongolia."

"Death worms?" I looked at Soba in surprise: "What's it?" ”

Soba handed me a cigarette, then lit one for herself and spoke to me slowly.

It is said that long ago, there was a legend among the nomads of Mongolia that a strange worm lived under the sand in the Gobi desert.

Worms can be as small as half a meter and up to one meter and a half in length, and their bodies are dark red or brownish-red, with irregular bumps on the surface of their skin, some of which resemble a ring like that of Malu.

From a distance, there is no difference between its head and tail, it seems that either end can be used as its head, and the overall thickness of the body is the same, very similar to the monster I saw before.

In terms of their posture, they are also a little more bizarre than ordinary worms, either rolling sideways, or squirming to the side of their body, rather than straight forward.

But one thing needs to be said.

This worm is not a monster, nor is it an injustice, but an extremely rare and dangerous animal.

They are fast at crawling under sand and can spit corrosive liquids, most exaggeratedly........

"They can discharge." Soba said, with a faint expression of fear on his face: "It seems that the eyes can emit blue-white electric light, and ordinary people will die if they encounter it." ”

"Can it still be discharged?" I looked at Soba in surprise.

Hearing my question, Soba smiled, rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, and pointed to a slightly twisted scar on his arm.

"It does discharge, but I didn't get electricity, I just got stuck to some corrosive liquid, and if it wasn't for the medical staff to wash it off as quickly as possible, I wouldn't have been able to save this hand." Soba smiled bitterly: "I was far away when they discharged, but I just saw it, but I couldn't touch it, my teammates are all wearing protective suits, and I don't know how powerful those electricity are, so they want to try it........"

As he spoke, Soba took a drag on his cigarette with a scared expression.

"At that time, everyone was young, and no one was brave, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers." Soba said: "I have a few friends who want to take a closer look and test the voltage of the electricity released by the worms, and the protective clothing they were wearing at that time was still old, very thick, and their fingers were not flexible when they put it on, so they couldn't operate it at all, so they took off their clothes and put on two rubber gloves to get ........."

As soon as the words fell, Sobabi gestured and pointed to his arm.

"In an instant, their arms were pierced, and a hole was burned, and their bones and flesh were gone."

"This animal is also powerful enough......." I couldn't help muttering, "But you said, it's the Mongolian Gobi Desert, and we are in the no-man's land of Tibet....... And the monster I saw was more than 1.5 meters. ”

"Tibet has it too." Soba said, his expression was very serious, not like he was joking with me: "But the death worms in Tibet only exist in legends, in order to investigate the living area of the death worms, most of the deserts in the country have our footprints, but except for Mongolia, they have not been found anywhere else, and Tibet is the same, there are only legends, there is no definite evidence." ”

"Legends?" I frowned and asked tentatively, "What kind of legend have you heard?" ”

Soba smoked a cigarette and thought about it carefully for a while before finally speaking.

"This legend is still what Master Tenzin talked to me, a long time ago, there was a catastrophe in Tibet, countless demons fell from the sky, raging madly in Tibet, slaughtering living beings, among those demons, the most powerful is a group of giant insects......." Soba said: "It is a kind of demon worm, it looks like an earthworm, its body is hundreds of meters long, and whenever they appear, the world will sound thunder........

Speaking of this, Soba's expression also became distant, as if he had returned to that era, and his expression vaguely revealed a taste of fear.

"In front of those demon insects, the Bodhisattva was invincible, and even the Buddhas had to retreat, and in the end, Shakyamuni killed these demon insects with great wishing power, but in the nest of the demon insects, there was still an egg........

"Worms are demons, and eggs are also devil eggs, but Shakyamuni has compassion and can't bear to kill the larvae that have not yet been born, so he let the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird take away the eggs and suppress them under the Spirit Mountain, hoping that the pure land of the Buddha can lead this demon insect back to the right path."

"I always thought these were just legends, but Guru Tenzin has a thangka, and on that thangka, it is very clear that the appearance of a death worm is drawn, exactly the same!"

As he spoke, Soba's expression gradually became excited.

"Do you know, the magic worm in myths and legends is actually the death worm in the real world, if all this is connected, ......."

"Contact a fart." I smiled bitterly and said, "If this myth and legend is true, then our trouble is not small." ”

As soon as I said this, Soba also reacted immediately, sighed and didn't speak again.

"The giant worm I saw, although it has no sound, can correspond to the demon worm in myths and legends in terms of size and general outline."

I smoked a cigarette and the more I talked about it, the more I felt a headache.

"If the myth is true that Shakyamuni killed all the demon worms and left only one egg out of compassion, then this worm egg ....... Will it hatch? ”

"What do you mean...... This giant worm ran out from under the Spirit Mountain?! Soba looked at me with wide eyes, holding the Buddha beads tightly in his hand, and kept shaking his head: "Impossible, there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas sitting on the Spirit Mountain, and a demon insect can't turn the sky, and it will definitely not escape." ”

"There are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the real spiritual mountain, I believe in this, but the spiritual mountain in the depths of the Qiangtang ...... Whether there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on it or not, this is an unknown. "I spread my hands;" What if the Dapeng Goldfinch suppressed the eggs under this spiritual mountain? ”

Soba trembled quietly twice, but didn't say anything.

"But we don't need to worry, there are more lice and no itching, and there are more debts without worrying, there are two troubles of the black-robed king and the sand-bodied person, just a small worm......" I smiled and patted Soba's shoulder: "With me, you don't have to worry." ”

"You don't understand....... Soba said tremblingly, "In myths and legends, the power of demon insects is almost like that of a bodhisattva, if this is true, we will be in trouble!" ”

Soba has the purest belief in Buddhism, and in his eyes, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are everything, the power can reach the sky, and they are also the only gods who can protect future generations.

A demon worm that can be compared to a bodhisattva, how powerful is it?

Thinking of this, Soba was in despair.

"Don't take it lightly."

The voice of the evil man suddenly sounded in my head, and it didn't open its mouth when it said this, as if it wanted to avoid Soba and Chen Qiuyan.

"That bug has a lot of power....... And it breathes like I've never seen before....... None of our previous enemies are much weaker........"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh, I only felt that this trip to Qiangtang was like learning from the west, and the journey was arduous and difficult.

The black-robed king, the sand-bodied one, and the "ancients" lurking underground........

Now there's another monster that doesn't know the details but certainly won't be weak.

What the hell is God forcing us to die?

I sighed, raised my hand and rubbed it twice on my face, feeling a lot more refreshed.

"Let's go, we shouldn't be far from Lingshan."
