Since there was no threat from the ogre, we hurriedly rowed the boat back, and also deliberately stuck to the cave wall to pass by the golden beetle.
I'll admit to being a little nervous, always afraid that these gold beetles would suddenly attack us, so that the tin foil cloated in the magic tripod kept between my legs. But the trouble didn't happen, and the golden beetle still had a greater interest in ogres.
After half a cigarette, we returned to the platform and ran to the old woman first. After they all squatted beside her, Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey immediately started to pull the soil on her stomach down, and I also prepared the magic ding.
I had stabbed her in the stomach, but it was too big, and now it was even more contaminated with dirt.
Let's go together and reopen the opening so that the golden beetle can come out.
I had a scalpel in my chest pouch, and I wanted to take it out, but Jiang Shaoyan said no, and took out his dagger again.
He played a trick and stabbed the old woman in the bulging stomach, but it was only a point, and then he slowly broke the hole with both hands.
In this case, if there are a lot of insects scurrying out, it will be easy for us to seal this kind of knife edge.
I took down Xiao Ding's tin foil, and also asked Ding Kou to aim at the knife edge, and the iron donkey took the flashlight. We all deliberately twisted our bodies outward, which was kind of keeping a certain distance from the knife edge.
But after a while, I didn't see the golden beetle crawl out. The iron donkey snorted, slapped the big belly hard, and said, "Are the insects asleep?" ”
Still no movement, we are all surprised. I forced my terror and slowly poked my head over.
I saw that there were indeed dense gold beetles in the opening, but they didn't move. I took the tweezers out of my chest pouch and randomly picked up a worm to come out.
This golden beetle has a soft body, and its legs are also long, obviously in the rhythm of death.
I had a very bad consciousness, and I used tweezers to clip a few more of them, and they were all dead bugs.
I looked at Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey, and sighed helplessly. Jiang Shaoyan cared about the golden beetle very much, scolded the damn angrily, and used both hands to pull the original mouth wide, and even made the old woman's big belly open in half.
We looked at the dead worms in our stomachs, and fell silent for a while.
After a while, I felt that I couldn't always do this, so I analyzed, "This insect is powerful, but it can't leak into the air." ”
Iron Donkey agreed. Jiang Shaoyan actually understands this reason, but he is still a little unacceptable.
He finally laughed and said to the two of us, "Let's look for it again, see if there are eggs or anything on these adults, and take them back to hatch later." ”
I echoed the iron donkey, and we cooperated.
Just as we had just flipped a few times and pinched a few bugs to look at each other, there was a gurgling sound outside the platform.
The first time I heard this strange sound after entering the cave, I stood up and turned my head to look at it, just like the two of them.
Our wooden boat was slowly sinking, its hull being pulled by a few tentacles.
Jiang Shaoyan's brain turned quickly, and he first said to the two of us, "Oh no, the golden beetle in the old woman's body is dead, and there are no natural enemies around here, and it is rampant again." ”
I agree with this speculation, and I am also a little panicked, because the ship is gone, how can we escape?
And it was definitely a disaster, and at this time there were seven or eight tentacles extending to the platform, slowly approaching us along the surface in an S-shaped route. The blood and soil here seemed to irritate them even more, making them crawl fast.
Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey were in a hurry, and raised their guns to shoot a lot at the tentacles, but there were too many tentacles to stop them at all.
The moment the bullets ran out, Jiang Shaoyan thought of a stupid trick, pointed to the small hole on the right side of the platform and said, "Run!" ”
The two of them were quite positive, and they swooped over there together.
It's just that the iron donkey is holding a flashlight, and as soon as he leaves like this, I will discredit him. To be honest, I don't want to drill that little hole, after all, the risk is uncertain.
But I can't stand like this, especially vaguely, seeing those tentacles leaving Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey, they are all running towards me.
As soon as I was cross-minded, I also went with them. Jiang Shaoyan rushed to the small cave first, and pounced fiercely at the entrance of the cave without slowing down, and quickly rowed down with inertia.
The iron donkey learns from him. I wanted to play such a hand, but the moment the iron donkey entered the hole, the platform fell into darkness.
I couldn't see it at all, and my body had just flown up, and now I ran blindly and went off track, and hit the hole directly.
This hurt me, especially my head, which made my eyes full of little stars.
In normal times, I guarantee to scold the iron donkey, since this immoral thing is responsible for holding the flashlight, why can't he be the last to go? But now it's so urgent, I can hear the rustle behind me, and the tentacles are coming immediately.
As soon as I pondered, don't pounce on it anymore, be reliable, and go straight in like a slide.
This kind of sliding, to put it bluntly, has zero starting speed, and in order to speed it up, I twist my body while sliding.
To my surprise, the tentacles seemed to know we were going to run, and when they got into the hole, they chased me faster.
I couldn't see, but I heard the rustling approaching little by little, and my whole heart was like a drum. I don't want to die in this kind of place, so I just racked my brains to think about how I could resist the pursuit of the tentacles.
I don't have any weapons on me, only medicine, and I was ruthless at the last time, and my heart said that Lao Tzu was out of the way.
I grabbed my chest bag indiscriminately, took out any medicine, tore open the small plastic bag, and slammed it at the back. This is purely a goddess scattering flowers.
I don't know which medicine worked, but the tentacles stopped pursuing. But at this time, I was dumbfounded when I touched my chest sac, and the medicine was almost used up.
That is, the teacher who taught me - Baipi is not here, otherwise he will see that he is such a loser, and he will jump over and choke my neck.
At this time, I didn't think much about it, and I found that the speed of the slide is a bit fierce now, and if you don't control it again, it is likely to be dangerous.
I twisted my butt and shook my body, that is, the armor I was wearing was good, and I changed into ordinary clothes, and I had already leaked my stomach.
My efforts were not in vain, and gradually the speed really slowed down, and I silently recited the sentence Amitabha Buddha in my heart.
It's too early to rejoice. Suddenly, I felt my body lighten and my whole body quickly fell down.
I wanted to scold my mother, and I said that there is still a pit in this little hole? Didn't I just slip into the pit?
When I was in the air, I couldn't borrow my strength at all, and I could only scream, all by fate. With a thud, I felt like I was in a quagmire, or a blister. Strangely enough, I was limp underneath me, and I wasn't hurt.
I quickly stood up and found that the muddy water here was not too deep, and it was up to my waist, but it smelled terrible, and it smelled of rotten eggs.
I couldn't see either, so I could only grope around, but I soon found a series of disgusting things, such as human heads, severed arms, stumps, and so on.
I understood, what kind of quagmire and blisters this is, it's a burial ground at all.
I don't want to stay here anymore and try to get out. Before I could take a few steps, someone suddenly stood up next to me and put his hand on my shoulder.
This made my head buzz and I quickly stepped aside. I thought that the corpse was cheated, and he was ready, he was going to rush over, even if he used Wang Baquan, he would fight with him.
The man didn't pay any attention to me, just clutched his chest, hiccuped, and scolded, "Who sat on me just now?" ”
I could hear it, it was the tone of the iron donkey. I'm not scared anymore, but I won't be stupid enough to admit that I pressed him.
I walked over to him again. Feeling it, he turned his head to look at me, and he vomited again, I guess he must have just taken a few sips of the dead man's soup here.
I quickly changed the subject and asked him if he saw Jiang Shaoyan.
The iron donkey said no, and his flashlight was gone.
I was worried about Jiang Shaoyan's safety, and the iron donkey had a way, so he suddenly screamed in a sharp voice. Soon, there was a whistling sound in one direction as well.
I supported each other with the iron donkey, in fact, it was mainly him who supported me, and we walked out of the quagmire together and found Jiang Shaoyan.
He's funny, he's squatting on the ground, tinkering and not knowing what to do.
I have a feeling that Jiang Shaoyan's night vision is better than the two of us, and he seems to be able to see things clearly in the dark.
The iron donkey didn't care about that, and asked what he was doing? Jiang Shaoyan didn't answer directly, only said that it would be fine immediately. After waiting like this for a while, Jiang Shaoyan stood up, took out a lighter from his pocket, and lit it at a torch.
The fuel for this torch is so strong that it burns in one fell swoop. I wondered, why are there torches here?
When I looked closely, I was frightened, and I thought to myself, "What the hell is this torch?" It's a man's thigh bone, with a pile of fat and rotting intestines wrapped around the top.
I had the feeling that the iron donkey wanted to vomit just now, but when my throat tightened, I held back.
Jiang Shaoyan didn't care at all, and pointed to his side and said, "There are still materials here, let's hurry up and make a few more torches." ”
I didn't want to do it, but the iron donkey was moving, so I had to bite the bullet.
I have to say that I have a good foundation and have a lot of experience in dissecting before, but this time I have gradually lost any discomfort when I fiddle with the bones and flesh like this.
We made nine torches, two of which were carried by one and one lit in his hand.
I thought it was a bit of a waste to do this, we could light it with just one torch, but Jiang Shaoyan's meaning, this is the lair of the Devil's Heart Arhat, there must be more dangers, if we encounter emergencies, we have one torch per person, and it is easy to dodge separately.
This was from a security point of view, and of course I accepted it right away.
Next, Jiang Shaoyan pointed to the distance and said to the two of us, "Let's go, let's see where the old thief of the Demon Heart Arhat is hiding?" ”
