Chapter 155: The Locust's Lair
This situation made me feel so happy that I felt like I was holding a flashlight in my mouth and a hoe in my hand and continued to chase after it. It swam in the water, and I chased after it on the ridge.
Maybe it's because this giant locust spirit was really badly injured by Captain Chi's Buddha bead just now, so this speed is really slowing down a lot. I ran over the ridge of the narrow sheep intestine trail with a hoe, and I was a little faster than it, and I was on the ridge of another paddy field in advance.
Sure enough, the grasshopper spirit came out of the water at once, and its disgusting slimy and soft body climbed up the ridge, trying to cross over and enter another paddy field and escape very little.
But where am I going to give this beast a chance! Seeing the opportunity, he let out a loud shout in his mouth, and swung the hoe in his hand with all his strength, and smashed it into the middle of its body, hoping that this sharp hoe could solve the already very weak and seriously injured grasshopper essence.
But things didn't go as smoothly as I thought they would.
When this giant locust climbed to the top of the ridge, I did hit it with such a hoe. However, the sharp blade of the hoe only cut a long and deep hole in its body at once, and did not cut it off at once. And because of this hoe with all his strength, the recoil generated by the body of this soft and tough big locust also bounced the hoe away and fell into the paddy field.
However, looking at the disgusting body of the big grasshopper with some spasms, it is obvious that it also feels pain. The locust itself is a very low-level animal, but it is painful after all.
Without a hoe, I'm going to keep chasing. After all, I'm a designer of the underworld money who kills enemies by Taoism. Not a villager with a hoe. Without a hoe, I still have Taoism. Naturally, there is no need to be afraid of this is already a big locust that is already at the end of its rope.
So I stopped paying attention to the hoe that had fallen into the paddy field, and continued to shine my flashlight on the big locusts fleeing in the paddy field. Chase all the way.
A Taoist priest and a locust spirit started a chase and escape in the countryside in the middle of the night.
Because I don't know how long I chased it, I felt a little out of breath and very tired. A man-made canal appeared ahead, which was used for irrigation and water diversion in the vicinity. I remembered that Forensic Doctor Xing had said during the day before that there were no locusts in a large area of farmland near Pingtian Village, probably because of the emergence of a very powerful "king"-like existence, which made these locusts follow him. But only a large locust with a length of more than ten centimeters was found in the canal. It means that it is very likely that this giant locust spirit has something to do with this canal!
The canal, made of concrete, runs through the green carpet of farmland, splitting it in half.
The giant locust spirit crawled out of the farmland, climbed up the icy canal, slid into it, and disappeared in an instant.
But I'm not in a hurry, this canal is a long straight one, running from north to south. It's full of clear water and nothing else, not like farmland. It's easy to track.
So although I was a little slower than the giant locust spirit, when I stepped up the concrete canal, I still saw the black shadow of the locust fleeing against the water to the north.
It's this damn giant locust spirit!
I hurried up the canal, but after it. I noticed that the canal in front of me actually had a drop of about three meters. In other words, the canal descends to the front, and it seems to form a small waterfall with a height of about three meters.
Of course. It doesn't matter, as long as the canal is straight. This damn big locust won't be able to escape. You know, now it's badly injured, and I just need to be able to catch up with it. There is a great chance that I will be able to kill it directly, and this is also the best chance for me and Captain Chi.
If the locust had escaped this fate, it would have become more cautious and perhaps more ferocious. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult and troublesome to solve this problem. So tonight, we must get this matter done completely and solve it!
When the canal reached the drop in front of me, there was a stone staircase going down, a stone staircase with a drop of three meters, and I took two or three steps down. But when I went down to the lower floor, I was surprised to find that the giant locust spirit that had been escaping in the canal was nowhere to be seen.
That's weird!
With such a three-meter drop, it is impossible for it to swim out of the canal so far that I can't see it, and it is impossible to climb up from the canal and enter the farmland on both sides.
So where did the disgusting wounded locust go?
I stood on the canal, puzzled as to where the damn beast had gone in the blink of an eye. Even if it's a youkai, it can't have any illogical abilities, right? Can it still be invisible? I remember that locusts don't have such abilities.
This guy must still be around here, and he must be in the canal!
I thought firmly, so I used the flashlight in my hand to look carefully around here. There was silence all around, except for the sound of the water flowing in the canal and falling down like a waterfall above, which was very clear in the night.
The drop of these three-meter canals is different from the gentle slope of ordinary canals, which is straight up and down, so the water above falls directly down, forming something similar to a water curtain......
Wait a minute!
Curtain! Then behind this water curtain, there should also be a hard canal channel that has been poured with cement, but is it possible......
A thought flashed through my mind, and I suddenly burst into tears.
Will there be a hole in the vertical canal behind this curtain!!
Thinking of this, I hurriedly walked a few steps, and used the flashlight in my hand to shine at the falling water curtain waterfall, and after careful observation, I vaguely saw that behind the whitening water curtain waterfall, there was an area that was faintly darker than the water canal in other places, and I thought there was a hole......
This is...... Sure enough, there was a cave! Could this be the nest of the giant locust!
Finally, a thought came to me that gave me a little creeps.
The reason why it is creepy is that the giant locust has fled into its own lair. If I want to kill it again, I'll have to get into it.
Alone in this locust's lair? Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps all over my body, and I couldn't even think about how disgusting it would be.
But there is no way, the matter has come to this point, and I can't hesitate and retreat anymore. So even if I plucked up the courage and carefully observed the situation after this small water curtain waterfall, I probably estimated that the entrance to this nest was a circle, about one meter five or six in diameter, which was relatively large, enough for me to go in with my head a little lower and hook my body.
Good! How could the people of Xuanmen Taoism be frightened by the nest of the little locust demon? Disgusting, disgusting, in order to help these kind and simple villagers in Pingtian Village, I will go out once!
Having made up my mind, I jumped from the top of the canal into the cold water, and then walked towards the small curtain waterfall, trying to control my body and withstand the impact of the current. Then, when he was almost close, he suddenly took a deep breath and rushed forward with a swipe on his waist.
This kind of determination and posture reminds me of the Monkey King in "Journey to the West" when he entered the water curtain cave. It's just that the water curtain cave that people enter is a beautiful fairy cave, and what I entered is a nest of monsters cultivated by extremely disgusting animals. The gap between these is 108,000 miles. (To be continued.) )
