Chapter 264: Career Advantage
I took a deep breath, did what I did on TV, pinched his nose, opened his mouth, and leaned in.
But just halfway through, his mouth was suddenly covered by a hand, and when he saw it, it turned out to be Huang Mao, he opened his eyes and said, "What are you doing, taking advantage of me?!" ”
"Get out!" I immediately became angry, punched him in the chest, and scolded: "Go aside, you think I am willing." ”
My instinct was deceived, this grandson just opened his eyes, his face was not red or wheezing, there was no suffocation at all, it was obvious that his tolerance level was more than five or six minutes.
When I looked back, I found that Hu Lai was holding back a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking like he had almost succeeded in his prank.
"Hu, you play with me!" I don't feel good.
"I don't have artificial respiration, I said." Hu Lai began to pretend to be innocent.
I looked at Feng Da Niu again, Feng Da Niu was even more innocent, and said, "I don't understand the situation at all." ”
Thousands of alpacas rushed through again in my heart, but I didn't have time to talk anymore, the most important thing at the moment was to chase the hornworms, so I said: "This account will be settled with you later, what should I do now?" ”
After our delay, the ghosts and the people of the Southern Festival have long since disappeared, and we have been left behind for an unknown distance.
"The hornworm has run away, I'm afraid it's hard to catch up!" Feng Daniu was unwilling.
Huang Mao patted the snow on his body, stood up and looked in the direction where the hornworm disappeared, turned his head to Hu Lai and said, "Come on, how far do you think the hornworm can run?" ”
Hu Lai pondered for a moment and said: "The hornworm was hit in the back by the succubus and was seriously injured, and looking at the speed at which it escaped, it was obviously much slower than when it came, but it was not possible because the back bone was shattered, and it couldn't last long, at most half an hour, and the distance would not exceed twenty kilometers." ”
"Twenty kilometers is not too far, so let's catch up." Feng Daniu hurriedly said, Huang Mao and I both nodded, ready to go.
"Don't worry!"
As a result, Hu Lai stopped us and said, "I think the closest to the coffin at this moment is not the Nanfa Society and the ghost group, but us, and the insect controller hiding in the shadows." ”
I was stunned, I didn't understand for a while, and Feng Daniu was also inexplicable.
Only Huang Mao thought for a moment and said, "You mean, the hornworm will not run with the coffin all the time, but will unload the coffin somewhere in the middle?" ”
"Yes!" Hu Lai nodded and said, "Just before our avalanche, there was a roar of hornworms, if it had a coffin in its mouth, how could it roar out?" ”
The three of us were all blinded by this.
Enemies!
Hu Lai said with certainty that the throat of the hornworm is too small to swallow the coffin in his mouth, but he can't swallow it.
In other words, the roar of the hornworm that caused the avalanche just now means that it has left the coffin in a certain position where it is traveling, and it has taken the people and ghosts of the Southern Festival away.
Hornworms shuttle underground, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have thought that the coffin had actually been "unloaded".
What's more important is that he has been hiding in the shadows and killed the insect controller halfway, will he let the horned worm keep moving forward with the coffin in his mouth?
Apparently not!
Because at the end of the march, the hornworm died of his wounds, and immediately he would be surrounded again, and he could not get the coffin.
And the smartest thing to do is to have a golden silkworm shell.
Bandao ordered the hornworm to "unload", and he took advantage of the opportunity for the hornworm to continue to lead the Nanfa and the ghost group to leave, and secretly transported the coffin, or simply hid it on the spot.
"Where will the hornworm be unloaded?" I asked hurriedly.
"The hornworm roared just now because of the pain, autonomous, and should not be controlled by the insect controller, in other words, the hornworm roared out not long after unloading the goods and waiting for the mouth to be empty." Hu said.
When Huang Mao heard this, he immediately squatted down and said, "In other words, the hornworm should have unloaded the goods in this section?" ”
Hu Lai nodded affirmatively, and said: "Ordinary people may not be able to find out, we are in front of the dark river waterway, and the python wants to advance, it should be the most labor-saving to advance along the dark river waterway, in the direction of eleven o'clock, but here it suddenly turned a corner, leaving the waterway and heading to the right, which is obviously to lure the enemy away." ”
When Feng Daniu and I heard this, we also hurriedly squatted down.
Hu Lai's meaning is obvious, since the python has "unloaded" here, the insect controller hiding in the shadows is likely to be nearby at the moment, waiting for the right time to receive the goods.
God doesn't know it, come to a trick of the golden silkworm to get out of the shell!
In this way, Hu Lai is right, the closest to the coffin at this moment is not the ghost group and the Nanfa Society, but me and us and the insect controller.
Huang Mao hurriedly took out his binoculars and looked around, trying to find something.
If all Hu Lai's guesses are correct, then the key to seizing the coffin now is to see who discovers who first. I can't figure it out, the insect controller is crouching in a corner somewhere.
I also took out my binoculars, but I didn't find anything, the four fields were quiet, only the snow and the wind whistling through the jungle.
After a pause, Huang Mao also shook his head and whispered: "I didn't find anything abnormal!" ”
Hu Lai frowned slightly, "Now I can only explore a little bit, the hornworm has passed, and I can't determine its path." ”
"But in addition to the direction of the mountain, there are three directions, which way?" Feng Daniu asked.
Hu Lai pondered for a moment and said: "Once the ghost group and the Southern Law Society find out that they have been deceived, they will immediately turn their heads back, they have a lot of methods, I am afraid that they can't hide it, and the insect controller should be able to collect and transfer." ”
"Transfer?" Huang Mao took over the conversation and continued to analyze: "The coffin must not be too deep from the soil, otherwise it will be a big project to dig up, and it must be easy to transport, the coffin is not foam, and it cannot be light." ”
"Then it can only be over there!"
Feng Daniu pointed to a river valley in front of him on the left side and said, "The surface is sunken there, the soil layer will be much thinner, and there is a river next to it, which can be transported by boat, and it is also hidden and not easy to be discovered." ”
After this layer-by-layer analysis, we quickly grasped the most likely direction.
"Let's go, let's see!"
Huang Mao made a quick decision and led us to chase down.
I have to say that although our strength is almost the weakest, we have a unique professional advantage, Hu Lai.
Out of all the pursuers, only he can judge what the hornworm's scream represents, and understand the characteristics of the hornworm, from which he can derive key information, and then deduce it step by step.
As the old saying goes, man's worst enemy is his peers. Because peers are the ones who know each other's secrets best, and both parties probably know what they want to do. In the process of fighting wits and courage, people who do not have a certain understanding of this profession will not be able to play.
We moved quickly in the direction of the valley, very fast at first, and only slowed down when we were about to get closer.
In about a quarter of an hour, we were on our toes at the top of the valley.
At first glance, this is indeed a very good "receiving" location, very narrow, almost the kind of terrain that is a line of sky, and there is nothing to say about the concealment.
In the middle of the valley is a ditch, although it is not wide, only three or four meters in shape, but the water knows that it is very deep at a glance, and there is no problem at all in transporting a coffin.
We hurriedly took out our binoculars and kept observing, the river valley was very long, several kilometers long.
But after a thorough investigation, no clues were found.
There were neither people nor boats below the valley, and after stretching for several kilometers, it turned a corner and disappeared on the other side of the mountain.
"No one!" Feng Daniu said in a low voice.
Huang Mao looked at his phone and said, "Wait, since the hornworm can still run for half an hour, it hasn't reached a far enough position, and the best time for the insect controller to receive the goods has not yet arrived." ”
We all nodded, and the analysis made sense.
It's only been twenty minutes since we were buried, and the ghosts and the Southern Festival haven't gone far enough.
So we lay down in the snow and waited patiently, and about a quarter of an hour passed.
Suddenly, a boat came at the bend of the river, the water surface fluctuated quite a lot, and the thrusters were obviously installed in the back, like a relatively large fishing boat.
"It's coming!" Huang Mao immediately reminded.
The boat was fast, but in a minute it entered the valley and stopped, just below us.
At this glance, we are basically sure that this ship must be a "receiving" ship.
Because it was so strange, the side of the boat made a hole, and four wire ropes stretched out and poked into the water, and the ropes were also equipped with nooses, which were the kind of people who built houses and set up landing beams, which I had seen at the third uncle's house.
The ship has also been significantly remodeled, widened a lot, with a lot of fresh planks on it, and it hasn't even had time to brush tung oil to prevent corrosion.
The thrusters at the back were also obviously added later. There was only one person on the boat, with a very athletic figure, wearing a tight swimsuit, his face was smeared, and he looked familiar, but he was condescending, the angle was not good, and he couldn't see his face.
There is no doubt that the boatman must be the insect controller; After playing fans for so long, I finally saw a real person.
The insect controller carefully adjusted the position of the fishing boat and dropped anchor.
After that, he put on a portable scuba apparatus, plunged into the water, and dived.
"Go down and block people, the coffin is in the water, he only needs to use a wire rope to hang the coffin at the bottom of the boat, and he can drive away!" Huang Mao immediately jumped up.
We thought and immediately followed him to the nearest way down the valley, where the boatman was now in the water and could not hear our footsteps.
Great opportunity!
In order to seize the time, we almost crawled down in a row, and in about three to five minutes, we rushed to the bottom of the river valley.
At this time, the river was gurgling upwards, and the insect controller was busy below, which should be a binding coffin.
I have to sigh, this person is too chicken thief!
Fooling everyone, if it weren't for Hu Lai, we wouldn't have thought that the target would be here.
The hornworm actually threw the coffin into the river, and the river covered it, and no one could find it, even Lu Ningxiang was deceived.
"Quick, get on board and ambush!" Huang Mao made a lip gesture to us.
We nodded, carefully pulled the boat over, and then lightly got into the fishing boat, lying under the side of the boat, waiting for an ambush.
Finally, I want to see the true face of Lushan of the insect controller!
"Gollum, Gollum......"
The insect controller is still busy passing on the work, and he is unaware of the changes that have occurred above.
After about three to five minutes, the sound of ventilation "sizzling" changed, and the insect controller floated up, and then we saw a hand on the side of the boat, right on Feng Daniu's side.
The winter river was cold and bitter, and he was obviously a little frozen, and his knuckles were twitching, and he looked very weak.
God help us!
Then, with a low roar, as if with all his strength, he overboarded the boat, rolled right among us, and lay there he was.
"Catch!" Huang Mao shouted.
We didn't need him to say hello at all, we all pounced on him and held him down.
The insect controller was startled and struggled, but there were five of us, and he was still frozen, so there was no play at all.
The person who practices the Dharma is very powerful, and he is useless to the Venerable Master, so he can only obey obediently.
Huang Mao immediately took out the rope, tied his hands behind his back, and turned him over again.
One look at it, everyone was amazed!
I was struck by lightning!
I can't believe this person in front of me!
Third uncle!
"This ......" Cao Nan grew his mouth.
At this moment, I didn't know how to speak, I never expected that the insect controller turned out to be the third uncle!
Cao Nan's previous doubts were right, the third uncle didn't know anything, on the contrary, he was very powerful; Usually you can't see it at all.
"I knew it didn't go so well this time, and I was caught by you after all." The third uncle showed a wry smile.
"Third uncle, I don't really understand." I shook my head, very incomprehensible.
"Let's get out of here first, once we are targeted, we won't be able to get out, and I will make things clear to you." The third uncle said.
Several people glanced at each other and let go of the third uncle.
