Chapter 19: Escape from the Ice Worm Cave
"Whoosh", the little mouse did not dodge backwards, but shot behind Onehisa, but the greenstone remained in place. Without the slightest pause, Oni pounced and grabbed the greenstone, while a cracking sound came from behind him. When Onihisa looked back, the terrifying image frightened Onihisa and staggered to the ground.
A large insect more than 3 meters long stood upright with a blinding white light, and was spitting something from its mouth to the little mouse, and the thing smashed on the ground, making a "poof" popping sound, and Onihisa noticed that it was actually an ice cube. The little mouse jumped left and right and kept dodging, and at the same time approached the big worm*.
Shu'er was also so frightened that she hid behind Onijiu, and let out a burst of exclamation from her mouth. The sudden change overwhelmed the ghost for a long time. At this time, he found that the insects around him had gathered again, and quickly opened his hand holding the stone, and at the same time put the green stone on Shu'er's palm and let her drag it. The light from the greenstone finally forced the bugs to stop attacking.
At this time, the mouse was already close to the big worm, and bit the belly of the big worm, and the big worm fell down with a "bang". Then he began to roll on the ground non-stop, almost hitting Onijiu and Shu'er, who quickly dodged away from Shu'er.
After rolling for a while, the big insect saw that the mouse was biting and did not let go, arched its body and bent its mouth to the abdomen, and spit out a few crystal beads at the mouse, and the speed at which the beads flew out could be determined, if it fell on the mouse, it was enough to kill. The rat let go of its mouth at this point, rolled on the spot, and dodged the attack of the beads. The bead popped into the worm's own stomach and then rolled to the ground with a snapping sound. The big insect let out a "hissing" sound, lay on the ground and stopped moving greatly, and its belly was wheezing together, apparently injured by itself. Only then did Oni Jiu notice that what the big insect had spit out before was ice cubes of different shapes, but now it was small balls of regular shapes.
The little mouse did not take advantage of the victory to chase after the big insect again, but jumped to a small ball on the ground. The small ball is the size of a glass ball that I played with when I was a child, and it glows with a cold white light, and it does not seem to be ice. The little mouse picked up a small ball, turned around, and shot at an alarming speed in the direction he had just run back.
It seems that to the mouse, the small ball spit out by the big worm must be more attractive than the greenstone. Otherwise, it wouldn't risk its life to force the worm to spit out the beads.
At this time, Onehisa noticed that the large insect began to wriggle again, but with great difficulty, it swallowed the nearest bead back into its mouth, and then crawled to the one a little farther away. Onijiu saw that there was one not far from him, and out of curiosity, he reached out and grabbed it.
A piercing cold pain hit the ground like a click, and the cold quickly spread to the whole body, and in an instant, the whole person of the ghost was already frozen. Shu'er came over in horror, and as the green light approached, Oniku's body miraculously regained consciousness, and quickly let go of the hand holding the ball, and the ball rolled out on the smooth crystal ground.
Onijiu finally understood the reason why light insects can be refrigerated, presumably every light insect will have such beads in their bodies, but they are very small compared to this, but so many insects are enough to create a freezing effect. Onihisa suddenly thought, since those small insects who didn't know the depth of the depth were killed because they were too close to the greenstone at the beginning, if Onijiu touched the greenstone on the body of the big insect, would it be placed in the place where it died? But then I thought about it, I had no grievances with the big worm, and the big worm lured the rat back, and the green stone was lost and recovered, and it saved my life, how could I take revenge.
"Shu'er, this place is too dangerous, we have to find a way to get out of here quickly."
"Okay, I think the path of the mouse run should be the way out" Shu'er's answer made Onijiu feel more at ease, it seems that she has returned to normal, her language is fluent, and her thinking is very logical.
With the greenstone in our hands, the light bugs are far away from us, and we are much safer. However, Onihisa's vigilance did not relax at all, and who knew what would happen all of a sudden. The bright light emitted by the light insects in the cave is like daylight, which makes it easy for us to find a way out. We carefully dragged the greenstone in the direction of the rat's run.
When we reached the cave wall, there was no possibility of going any further. Oni Jiu let go of the hand that was dragging Shu'er and touched it around the wall, but there was not a single gap in the smooth crystal. Such a high-quality crystal can't even find a little flaw in the "willow cotton thread pit". With such a large scale and such a high-quality crystal bed, the value may be relegated to that of similar mineral deposits in the world, but it is a pity that it is buried so deep underground. The idea of mining this mine even flashed through Onihisa's mind, but it was only a fleeting moment, because now it was a question of whether he would even get out alive.
"Look, up there," Shu'er cried excitedly, pointing to the top of her head.
Onijiu looked up, and nearly 1 meter above his head, a hole appeared there. Hope finally appeared, and Oniku stretched out his hand and folded his palms and recited "Amitabha". How did such a tall rat get up? On the other hand, I can't judge creatures below 1,500 meters with the ability of animals on the ground. Survival of the fittest, who knows how many ancient species there will be underground that we haven't discovered! In less than a week, he has encountered several animals in a series of caves, and each of these animals will shock the world's zoologists. And the address structure here will also shock the world. Is this geological phenomenon an isolated case, or do we simply know little about the deep underground?
But how do we get up to such a height? If Shu'er was lifted up first, her delicate body would not be able to pull herself up at all; If she goes up first, she can't help the pressure of her weight.
"Come up, you step on my shoulder first" Shu'er saw Onijiu's hesitation.
"You can't hold me at all" Oni Jiu shook his head helplessly: "Otherwise, I'll drag you up first, and then find someone to save me when you can get back to the ground."
Shu'er shook her head: "We are already in a deep place underground, even if I go up to this hole, I am not sure if I can return to the ground, even if I am lucky to return to the ground, it is difficult to say whether I can find my current position again."
Onihisa looked around to see if there was anything he could rely on, but to his dismay, he couldn't remove a piece of the crystal that was so integrated that he couldn't take a piece of it off.
"So, you step on your shoulder and try it first," Shu'er said earnestly.
There is no other way to choose from it, so I can only try. Shu'er squatted down, Oni Jiu tentatively stepped on one foot first, Shu'er just shook slightly, and there was not much discomfort, and then Oni Jiu stepped on the other foot as well, and Shu'er actually supported the weight of Oni Jiu's entire body!
Shu'er slowly stood up, and Ghost Jiu's hands had reached the edge of the hole, but he was really not sure that he could really rely on his wrist strength and arm strength to hang his whole body, after all, he had not practiced martial arts. Oni Jiu tried to clasp the cave wall with both hands and force it up, but his body actually came up with the strength of his arms! It seems that he doesn't know enough about his own strength. But why did you never know you had such a talent? Ghost Jiu suddenly thought of Shu'er, is it also her talent to easily drag herself up? There must be something wrong with this.
The situation is urgent, and there is no time to analyze the causes. Onijiu climbed up to the entrance of the cave smoothly, but he didn't expect the hole to be as tall as a person. Seeing that Shu'er below was shaking the greenstone in her hand to herself, Oniku hurriedly motioned for her to throw the greenstone up first, she looked at the entrance of the cave and skimmed the greenstone in, and the greenstone flew past Onijiu and slid into the hole.
The light worm below did not have the oppression of the green light, and quickly jumped and gathered, and what was even more terrifying was that the big worm more than 3 meters long also moved towards this side, the ghost had seen the power of the big worm for a long time, if it fully recovered this distance was just a matter of an eye, fortunately it was injured in the body, not so fast. Oniku quickly took off the satchel from his body, pulled the kua belt to the longest, crawled on the edge of the hole, and hurriedly threw the end of the satchel down. Shu'er quickly reached out to catch it, and the time worm was already less than 5 meters away from Shu'er. The stinging cold came to his face, and Ghost Jiu was really worried that Shu'er would be so cold that she couldn't hold the belt, and the consequences could be imagined. Desperately pulling up the belt, fortunately Shu'er is not heavy, in a blink of an eye, Shu'er has arrived at the entrance of the cave, and the light insects below have also gathered at Shu'er's feet, and Ghost Jiu's hands have been frozen and began to become numb.
Just when the ghost thought it was done, he found that one of Shu'er's hands suddenly let go of the strap and slid down. Ghost Jiu grabbed down with all his might, but luckily grabbed her other hand that didn't let go. The light bugs below had begun to climb up the wall, the nearest being only half a meter away from Shu'er. The coldness that came from Shu'er's hand, and Onijiu knew that she was now on the verge of death.
Onijiu tried his best to pull Shu'er up.
Finding that there was a light insect with purple light hanging on her left foot, Oni Jiu quickly picked up her backpack and slapped it, and the purple light fell down in a flash. Onijiu looked back and looked down, the sea of colorful dancing lights below was very beautiful, but this beauty was so dangerous, it was completely a trap of death. Suddenly, a white light shot towards the entrance of the cave, and the big insect's head appeared in front of Onijiu with its mouth open and spewing cold air, and Onijiu could feel his skin freeze hard.
Desperately with the last consciousness, Ghost Jiu desperately dragged Shu'er to the cave and fell down, the old man was too kind to himself, this hole turned out to be a very steep slope, and Ghost Jiu and Shu'er rolled down. At a distance of about 20 meters, the ghost stopped for a long time, and when he looked back, it was pitch black, but he didn't hear any other movement, and it seemed that the big insect didn't follow.
"Shu'er, Shu'er" The ghost has been scratching around for a long time to find Shu'er.
"In this ......," Shu'er's faint voice answered not far to the left of Onijiu.
Oni Jiu hurriedly crawled to the left, about 4 meters away, and Onijiu's hand touched Shu'er's body.
"How are you?" asked Oni Jiu eagerly.
"It's okay, it's just that I don't have the strength in my body," Shu'er replied weakly.
After Shu'er finished speaking, Ghost Jiu noticed that he had no strength in his body. Why? Since entering the snake cave, Onijiu has been trapped in the snake ball for several days without eating and has no hunger, which must be the reason for the green light of the green ball. Now there is no such little greenstone around, and there is no energy input. Also, the source of Shu'er and Onijiu's magical power just now must also come from that little green stone. It's pitch black now, we don't know our environment at all, and if we can't find the greenstone, Oni Jiu and Shu'er won't be able to last long.
Since this is a downhill slope, the greenstone must also roll down this slope or get stuck somewhere along the way. The ghost pondered to himself for a long time as his eyes began to search around.
A faint glimmer in the distance caught Onejiu's attention, how could the brightness of the greenstone be so faint? Onijiu decided to go over and take a look, and as soon as he got up, he felt a wave of dizziness and collapsed, and it seemed that his body was really close to the limit of collapse. After a little breathing, Ghost Jiu motioned to Shu'er not to move, and slowly crawled towards the glimmer with all his spare strength.
At this time, the environment makes people feel very stuffy, and the wormhole just now is simply two worlds. The sweat on Oniku's body has already flowed, and the distance of more than 20 meters has taken Onijiu a long time. Finally crawled to the glowing point, Oniku's eyes were already in a blur, and the weak light in front of him turned into vague bubbles in his eyes, and Onijiu reached out and grabbed it at the moment when his consciousness was about to disappear......
