Chapter 404: Desperate Chase
Hundreds of pairs of perforated eye sockets stared in one direction, staring at a few people, and there were obviously no eyeballs in the empty eye sockets, but they looked creepy.
It was very uncomfortable to be stared at by such a thing, and Strathman, who was closest to him, shuddered all over, and his bright scalpel could not be held steadily, and fell to the ground with a clatter.
There were so many things like dead corpses and internal organs that Strathsmann didn't have a fear of nausea at all, but when he was stared at coldly by the gloomy baby, the pressure on his body increased in vain, and the nerves in his scalpel-holding hand twitched.
Yang Xi sighed, after all, this group of people still knew the secret inside the boulder, and said with a wry smile: "I stopped you, you want to touch the boulder, do you know what the baby's eyes represent, the endless holes, the death passage to the underworld." ”
July's body trembled suddenly, not only Yang Xi has this saying here, the outside world also spreads that the eyes of a baby can be psychic, if it is a dead baby who died unnaturally, it is very unlucky to see its eyes.
The soldier raised the automatic rifle, his arm couldn't help shaking, Wu Min put his grip on the muzzle, "How many can your bullets kill, they can be killed by firearms?" ”
Second Master Jiang expected in advance that he would encounter some dirty things left over from the Guloulan period, and prepared the tools to ward off evil spirits, he asked: "Black dog blood, black donkey hooves and other things, I asked you to prepare, are you ready?" ”
The baby showed no signs of attacking for the time being, like a newborn child, looking at the world curiously with empty eyes, and some even put blood-stained fingers into their mouths and sucked them. And some children are grinning, the smile is silent, the smile is weird, in short, it is not the smile that a baby of this age should have.
"What should I do?" Wu Min didn't dare to call the shots.
"You still need to ask, splash them with black dog blood, and wait for them to cook you?" Ning Yun knew the effect of black dog blood, but he didn't know if it would also work for babies.
"Don't worry, look at the situation, they shouldn't take the initiative to attack." Jiang Erye said that the current situation is still relatively harmonious, and the two sides are just facing each other.
Everyone didn't dare to come out, for fear that the sound of breathing would attract the attention of the baby, and tiptoed back quietly one by one, and the baby didn't intend to chase after seeing the situation, still facing with a unique gloomy eye socket.
Can they see objects? No matter which direction Jiang Er Ye and his group moved, that chilling look always locked on everyone.
Wu Min stumbled under his feet, stepped into a pit, only to feel that the soil under his feet was soft, where did he expect that there would be a pit about 20 cm deep, and when he looked at what kind of pit was, it was clearly a wormhole.
The dense ants under their feet were scattered under the disturbance, and the ants were very large, the size of fingernails, and their whole bodies were dark.
Ah, Wu Min screamed and hurriedly pulled his feet away.
The ants kept crawling out of the burrow, and the small pit seemed to have countless ants, crawling out layer after layer.
Jiang Erye also noticed this group of uninvited guests, and said in a lost voice: "Corpse Raising Place, no wonder there is a perennial fog and confusion here, and yin qi gathers. ”
Strathsmann focuses on the study of various creatures, and at a glance he can see the origin of this group of ants, "corpse ants." They live on carrion, and they have corpse poison all over their bodies. ”
The corpse raising ground in Jiang Erye's mouth has formed a complete food chain, since there are corpse ants, there must be carrion corpses as food supply.
Wu Min's screams were captured by the immobile babies, whose hearing organs were keen, the babies were faintly restless, and their deep-set eyes were further tyrannical from the initial confusion.
Others may not know, but July is very clear, in the Miao Jiang Witch Gu, the Gu techniques related to corpse ants are rarely used, because most of the corpse ants are related to raising corpses, and raising corpses and refining corpses is a major taboo for modern black seedlings.
In addition to the characteristic of scavenging, corpse ants also have a lesser-known side. That is to gather yin, and by gathering yin qi, the soil properties are transformed to form a corpse breeding ground that is conducive to the growth of corpses.
Fortunately, Wu Min was covered in chemical protection clothing, and the corpse ants couldn't touch the skin and flesh for a long time, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.
July nodded in agreement with Jiang Erye and Strassman's judgment, and said: "We have been ignoring Feng Shui, and now it seems that this corpse breeding land is not naturally formed, but artificially transformed the day after tomorrow. First of all, from the acupuncture points, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the southwest corner is the only exit. There must be a contemporary Feng Shui master who designed such a boulder of human-Gu symbiosis, and deliberately arranged it into a shadow array, so that the climate changed, causing the fog to persist all year round. The second is to improve the soil and gather yin qi through large-scale breeding of corpse ants. The formation of yin qi will in turn enhance the growth of yin corpses, and their relationship is mutual. ”
Before July, he kept saying that he didn't have a deep understanding of feng shui, but a series of reasonable and well-founded analyses made Jiang Er Ye irrefutable and convinced. Every theory is unassailable, and if it weren't for July's age, he would have wondered if this ghost place was designed by July.
"What a big deal, transforming the natural environment and using biotechnology to form symbiosis, is he still a human being?" Wu Min almost wanted to say how crazy this big-spending chief designer was.
"Wait, what do you use to raise corpse ants on a large scale?" Jiang Erye grabbed a flaw and formed a corpse breeding ground of this scale, it is impossible to rely on just one litter, where is there so much food supply.
"Plants, corpse ants scavenging is to take a putrid substance. The boulder itself is symbiotic with the baby, and the baby has a steady stream of yin death, which is ingested into the plant through the plant root system, and the corpse ants will cling to the plant root system to eat the sap. This juice contains corpse poison, and the biological habits and personality of corpse ants will change when they are eaten. If you don't believe it, you can dig through the soil and see that the ground is probably full of layers of plant roots, and almost all of them are dead ants. July's tone was indifferent, but it made everyone's heads numb, and even the soles of their feet were namelessly numb, and they felt hundreds of millions of ants crawling around in the soles of their feet.
Jiang Erye used the muzzle of his gun to dig a hole dozens of centimeters deep on the ground, and he was stunned for a moment. Sure enough, as analyzed by July, he saw the black plant roots under his feet, and the black spots on the roots were the kind of scavenging corpse ants, and even a few of them stubbornly climbed up along the muzzle of the gun, so frightened that he hurriedly threw the gun away.
"That's really the case."
Strassmann impatiently interrupted the conversation between the two of them: "Don't you see so many pairs of eyes staring at us, is it really okay for you to discuss them so openly?" Wouldn't it be better if you didn't want to run away for a while? ”
Strassmann lowered his voice and didn't even dare to speak loudly, the biologist's duty and sensitivity told him that once there was a large ant colony, any protective measures would be futile, and they would tear apart the external protection bit by bit, even steel would slowly be destroyed.
As Strassmann predicted, there was more than one anthill on the ground, and there were countless anthills hidden on the seemingly dark ground, and for a while, the dormant ant colonies were surging. Like a tide, wave after wave, in an instant, the whole land was covered with a large colony of black ants.
"Run." In the chaos, I don't know who shouted, everyone no longer had the heart to study the feng shui pattern and the origin of the baby, they all ran backwards with their legs, for fear that they would run slower and fall into the ant tide, and there would be no bones left.
Ning Yun was so frightened that Zhu Beichen, who was asleep with Qiyue, cursed while running: "Didn't you say that they ate carrion, what's the matter with them chasing us, we are fresh?" ”
Because the others had no burden, they all ran ahead of July, and Strassmann heard Ning Yun's scolding, turned his head and didn't know whether to deliberately mock or anger Ning Yun, and shouted loudly: "If you don't run faster, won't you be rotten meat when you die." ”
Under the beautiful wind and sun, the seemingly extremely comfortable weather, in the boulder-covered corpse breeding ground, a group of people fled with their legs and lifeless. The whistling cold wind poured in one mouth, and everyone couldn't care about panting, and they could hear the rustling of ants chasing behind them, and their hairs stood on end in fright.
Before the two warbands came into contact, there was a baby's cry in a single rustling sound, Jiang Erye's ears were sensitive, and he knew that it was bad when he heard it, and he thought: What a bad situation, those little rabbits also moved.
The desperate soldier turned his head to look at it at high speed, and was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, hundreds of babies broke free from the shackles of the boulder, and pounced in a flying posture several meters above the ground, and the sharp and piercing baby cry exploded in his ears.
Seeing that the bunnies had run in front of the corpse ants, and were about to reach behind Qi and Ning Yun, who were at the rear, Wu Min shouted and splashed them with black dog blood.
The black dog's blood was all on the back of the soldier, where was he willing to stop at this time, but Wu Min's order did not dare to disobey, he untied the backpack and threw it back, and threw it to Ning Yun in the rear, "There are cans in metal bottles inside, you can ask for more blessings." ”
During the run, Ning Yun took the backpack, due to the running panting and shortness of breath, the little face was red and fluttering, and his eyes looked directly at the baby who was getting closer and closer behind him, and he almost had the heart to die, "I really can't run, little rabbit cubs, the old lady is fighting with you." ”
July also stopped, and the three of them couldn't run fast like this, and with a solemn expression, they helped Ning Yun take out the metal can, opened the seal, and a disgusting smell of blood was filthy.
The hideous-looking baby rushed to him first, gazing at the jar, gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, and splashing it fiercely, with a desperate posture.
Yes! The screams of babies were heard in my ears, and a strong smell of burnt flesh came to me. Choking Ning Yun and the July master and servant tightly covered their mouths and noses in disgust, and when they opened their eyes again, the baby in front of them had fallen to the ground, and their thin arms and legs were scratching on the ground, as if they were enduring intense pain. His face was solemn, with an expression of extreme hatred, and he couldn't wait to swallow the two delicious pieces of meat in front of him.
