Chapter 971: Siege
Seeing that the road that was not wide was getting narrower and narrower by the puppet insects pouring down from the stone wall, everyone ran like crazy, although they may not be eaten by the puppet insects, but it is very likely that they will be trapped by them.
Seeing that the mouth of the prey was about to run, the puppet insects that were still not on the stone wall opened their mouths and spit out their long mouthparts and threw them over, and in an instant the walls were full of flying long snake-like mouthparts, and the scene was extremely beautiful.
For example, if the cave is a intestine, then these mouthparts are the villi in the intestines, and at the beginning of the day they are like food for the dying struggle to escape the fate of being digested.
As they ran, they had to dodge the mouthparts that stood in front of them, and they had to guard against the puppet insects that jumped up from the ground to attack them, and it was difficult to keep up with their speed.
Duo Ling ran in front, all the way unimpeded, those mouthparts that stood in front of her automatically gave way to her, and even the puppet insects on the ground were avoiding her, and even those who didn't have time to hide directly crashed into the ground.
I don't know if it's the effect of Mani beads, or the reason for Duo Ling herself, anyway, wormwood doesn't have that much effect, because compared to Duo Ling, the other three are more embarrassed.
Bai Yue sprinkled wormwood powder to protect Lianxing while running, and Lianxing was frightened, and ran around screaming with his eyes closed, making Bai Yue busy.
As the saying goes, taking care of one thing and losing the other, Bai Yue's protection of the Mercy Star has already made her so busy that she has no time to take care of herself, and she was hit by a fat puppet insect that catapulted down from the stone wall.
"Master!" Hearing a bang behind her, Lianxing subconsciously turned around and saw that Bai Yue had fallen to the side, and the fat puppet insect was writhing to get up.
Pity Star jumped to her feet and screamed in fright, but she was afraid, but she went back, and just as she left, several golem insects aimed at her jumped down from the cave wall, but they pounced and knocked over a piece.
Pixing ran towards Bai Yue and was about to reach her, but the fat puppet worm got up first, twisted and crawled towards Pixing, let out a strange scream, and spat out its mouthparts.
"Division...... Master ......" Seeing the flower-shaped mouth biting at her, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, grinning at Bai Yue, and for a while she didn't know whether to run away or move on.
At the last moment, Tianchu picked up the poor star and spun around, and the flower-shaped mouthparts were thrown against Tianchu's back.
Tian Chu held the mercy star in one hand, and reached into his arms with the other, where there was a pocket sewn in, which was the wormwood powder that Bai Yue had put in, which was originally used to protect himself, but now he had to use it as a weapon.
Tianchu turned around and threw a handful of wormwood powder at the fat worm, and the worm screamed and slapped it on the ground, writhing wildly, trying to shake off the wormwood powder, but the wormwood powder stuck to its skin constitutionally, and it couldn't get it off.
The puppet worm writhed and screamed, and its whole body continued to turn yellow and darken, as if it was melting, and in some places a hole had melted out, revealing the translucent eggs the size of eggs inside, huddled together.
Tian Chu secretly screamed badly, and ran towards Bai Yue while raising wormwood powder to scare off the attacking puppet insects.
Tianchu put down the pitiful star, and sprinkled the wormwood powder in his hand directly on the head of the pittish star, and the choked pittish star coughed.
"Bai Yue, how are you?" Seeing that Bai Yue was still motionless, Tianchu shook her voice and shook her and shouted.
Bai Yue whimpered and struggled to turn over with the help of Tianchu, only to see that her face was covered with blood, and when she just fell, her forehead hit the sharp corner of a stone.
Tianchu hurriedly tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, hurriedly bandaged Bai Yue, and carried her on her back without waiting for a moment.
"Pity the star, run!" Tianchu fixed Bai Yue with one hand, and pulled up the pity star with the other hand and was about to run, but when he got up and looked, he was immediately dumbfounded, the puppet insects on the cave walls had all come down, piling up the ground to the brim, and there was no place to put his feet at all.
"Where's Duoling?" Tianchu thought that Duo Ling would be in front, but he didn't even see her shadow, and the three of them were surrounded in a small safe area sprinkled with wormwood powder, and took this opportunity to look around left and right at the beginning of Tianchu, but they didn't find Duo Ling, so they looked at Pixing.
"I ...... I do not know...... Maybe ahead, right? Lianxing said uncertainly, making Tianchu even more worried.
"Gurgling ......" suddenly there was a strange sound around him, and Tianchu looked down and couldn't help but gasp.
I saw that the fat puppet worm that had just been sprinkled with wormwood powder had its skin melted into a thousand holes, and the eggs in its body were constantly emerging from the sores, and the mucus mixed with the corpses of the worms was gurgling out, as if it was laying eggs.
Inside the translucent egg, there is a larva with the thickness of a finger writhing, which is growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it has grown several times, and the growth rate is extremely amazing.
The mucus covered the wormwood powder on the ground, and those insect eggs poured towards the three of them like pouring beans, and Tian Chu estimated that in the body of this puppet worm, there were not fifty but thirty insect eggs, and these insect eggs would soon turn into worms, and the safe place where they were standing would soon be occupied by them.
"Mercy Star, do you still have wormwood powder on your body?" Tianchu asked Mercy Star as he stepped back.
"Yes, I haven't used it yet." The star patted the bulging place in his arms.
"This is mine, take out your master's again, we must move forward, you just sprinkle powder in front to open the way, and I will follow behind." Tianchu took out the little wormwood powder that was left and handed it to Pixing, and then turned around and asked Pixing to take out Baiyue's as well.
Pian Xing took out Bai Yue's wormwood powder, plus the amount of the original one at the beginning of the day, plus her own, a total of two packs, Pian Xing looked up at the road paved by the puppet worm that could not be seen at a glance, and asked with some fear: "Uncle, these ...... Is it enough? ”
"When ......" Tianchu wanted to say that of course it was not enough, but he saw that Lianxing trembled with fright, and swallowed back the words to his mouth.
Tianchu is now repentant, when Bai Yue was grinding wormwood powder last night, Tianchu also said that she was doing more, thinking that it would be enough to sew some in her clothes, but Bai Yue persistently grinded all night, not only prepared wormwood powder for the four of them, but even Yun Zhen and they each brought a pack.
Thinking about it now, Bai Yue still had a vision, if she hadn't prepared wormwood powder, they might have been trapped here by the puppet swarm just now.
But it doesn't help to regret it, now there are only two packs of wormwood powder, can you get out? There is no bottom in the heart of the sky, but he knows that waiting here is also a dead end, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he must also go out and fight.
"Ahh Suddenly, the star screamed, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the eggs that fell out first had hatched into adults, and they were almost squeezed into the feet of the two.
