Chapter 21: The Red Lizard and the Cobra
With flat bodies, stout limbs, and a pair of eyes the size of green beans on their triangular arrow-like skulls, they crawled so fast that they were already in my field of vision in less than a few minutes.
The eagle retreated from front to back, and he handed me the flashlight, and he threw out the short sword he had with him, which was a special tool, usually the size of a rolling pin, hidden in his boots, and in case of danger, he would hold the hilt and shake it vigorously to turn into a long sword.
The gnats on his back suddenly moved, I thought he was awake, and after putting him down, I found that he was actually dreaming, and he didn't know what he was talking about, I didn't have time to think about it, and he was about to walk in the direction of the dry well on his back again, and I stopped without taking two steps, and at the same time, the eagle also came closer.
With a faint red glow in 360 degrees, I held the dagger to my mouth and untied my belt to tie the gnatfish to me, but fortunately neither of us was fat.
Eagle looked at the faint red light around him sharply and asked me, "What are these?" ”
I rubbed my eyes, looked at them intently for a while, and said, "I don't know, but I'm sure, they're also mutated, and looking at their limbs, they should also be a kind of lizard." ”
To be honest, I don't think it's strange that there are lizards in the desert, but it's strange that the mutations are strange, and there is no nuclear contamination here, where does the mutation come from.
The three of us were besieged for nearly half an hour, and neither of us moved, and it was strange to say, these ghosts were extremely fast when they chased us, but they really caught up, but they didn't move, could it be that they wanted to see us panic and then commit suicide and die?
I began to think wildly, in fact, strictly speaking, I was deducing the purpose of these things to besiege us, no matter how high the intelligence of animals is, it is difficult to escape the nature of animals, they face their prey, in the situation of the disparity between the enemy and the enemy, since their own side has an overwhelming advantage, why would they not take action, I began to suspect that these things are controlled by someone.
I whispered to Eagle what I thought, but I didn't expect Eagle to be the same as me, and not only that, but he was sure that there was something near us in the vicinity.
The distance to the dry well was tacitly calculated in his heart, and the gnats were just dizzy, and we could have one more combat power by waking him up, but Zhang Yang's situation didn't seem to be optimistic.
I was thinking about how to get out, suddenly I heard a crisp ringtone, this bell is very good, I have never heard such a good sound, it is very rhythmic, just a moment you will have the feeling of being in the wonderland of Yaochi.
There was a sharp pain in the back of my neck, and I woke up immediately, and the Yaochi Wonderland disappeared in an instant.
"What?" I touched the pain on the back of my neck, "You kid just wake up and say something, you don't need to use force." ”
The gnats ignored me and just said, "What about them?" ”
I put him down, a little hesitant, and the grasshopper looked at the two of us with a gloomy expression, and said, "What's the situation now?" ”
The eagle pointed to the ghosts around us and said, "These lizards have suddenly appeared, they have been besieging us for a long time. ”
The grasshopper stared intently for a moment, then suddenly jumped on one foot, and at the moment he jumped out, he also pulled away my trouser belt, and when he returned, there was a little monster tied to the trouser belt.
Looking at these ghost things up close, I suddenly think it's quite cute, probably because of fear of light, this little monster is shaking its head with half-open eyes, I'm worried that it will also spew out corpse poison, so let the grasshopper quickly throw it away, but the grasshopper said that they are called red lizards, which should belong to a kind of desert lizard, but because of their special living environment, it is almost difficult to see alive, so there is basically no information on the red lizard on the market.
The eagle and I were confused, and the grasshopper continued: "When we were training, we were kept in the heart of a desert, and I saw one there, you see, toothless. ”
As he spoke, he was about to open the red lizard's mouth to show me, but as soon as the grasshopper's hand reached over, I saw the lizard open its big mouth, and its white sharp teeth made me slap it away in fright.
The gnats were obviously taken aback, and he hid me and the eagle behind him, and I looked at him with some complaint, and said, "What do I say, there is nothing good here, and the character is tame, and it is all nonsense." ”
Before I could finish speaking, I saw the red lizard that I had shot away approaching us, and at the same time, the red lizards that had been quiet began to move closer to us.
"What should I do?" I asked them.
The Grasshopper threw me the belt of his trousers and rushed over with a single lunge, and in the darkness I could only see a vague shadow swaying from side to side, and I could hear the sound of something hitting the wall.
The eagle also rushed over, and before leaving, he told me to stand here and not move if I was afraid.
I said in my heart, I have not contributed much along the way, why am I still so useless in your eyes, grandma, shouted: "Who is afraid." ”
The three of them concentrated on attacking a little, those red lizards because of their small size, all attacks only rely on one mouth, so we just need to pinch its mouth at the first time, so that they can't open their mouths to attack us at the first time, and the next second is like a gnats and eagles, both hands are used in the opposite direction, and they are immediately killed.
This set of actions seems simple, and it is not very strenuous, but one or two, thirty or fifty is okay, but there are hundreds or thousands of people gathered around us, and at a glance, the road leading to the dry well is densely packed with light red light, which is somewhat similar to the red light district in the back alley of my house.
I don't know how many red lizards I have broken, but I feel that my hands are getting weaker and weaker, and in the end I don't even have the ability to actively attack, and I take the initiative to be passive, dodging and slapping away or kicking away those monsters that are constantly besieging me.
"How many meters are there?" The grasshopper roared ahead.
I looked up and looked at it, and my heart panicked, damn it, this is not the right direction.
"We're going in the wrong direction, not this way."
I can't tell how the gnats and eagles will look when they hear me, but judging by the number and frequency with which they break the red lizard, the anger is already full.
"Which way should I go?" The voice of the eagle came.
I grabbed a red lizard that jumped on top of me, threw it at the opposite wall, and said, "If it's not right here, it's the other side, just now this is the fork in the road, let's go to the opposite side." ”
The gnats and eagles quickly retreated, and when they returned, they were followed by a large number of red lizards, and I saw that although they were out of breath, they were fortunately uninjured.
From this side of the passage, he broke through to the three forks just now, and then turned to the other side, and after a few steps, he saw a little light in front of him, and it was moving up and down, left and right.
The grasshoppers and I ran first, and the eagle was behind the back hall, because there was sand underneath, and it had just experienced an explosion, and there were gravel blocks buried in the sand, and the red lizards were moving a little slower, so we took this opportunity to run quickly towards the dry well, and when we arrived, we saw that the point of light flying up and down turned out to be Zhang Yang pinning the miner's lamp to his waist, and was fighting with countless cobras.
Cobras, especially those in the desert, are extremely venomous and terrifying.
The moment the gnats saw it, they immediately rushed forward, and the eagle naturally followed, and on my side, I could only be behind, but I found a problem, those red lizards were actually a lot less, and the remaining ones were no longer in hot pursuit, but wandering among the sand, as if it was very taboo to move forward.
I looked at them and suddenly thought that animals also have territory, maybe this is the territory of cobras, and those red lizards naturally dare not trespass.
Actually, I think this is just a relief for myself, anyway, if they don't chase, we will be less dangerous, and after looking back and confirming that they are not chasing, I immediately drilled through the hole of the dry well, and after entering, I saw that the dry well was densely crawled with cobras.
When the gnats saw me coming in, they grabbed Zhang Yang and pushed him, just to push me to my side, I hugged him and found that his hand was bitten, and the black was spreading, I immediately pulled out my backpack from the pile of dead snakes, and it was strange to say that only my backpack position in the entire dry well was free of snakes.
I didn't think too much about it, after opening the backpack, I first took out the big shell, and then found out the serum and antidote, Zhang Yang's face was pale like a freshly made paper man in a paper shop, he was originally a thin type, and now he was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
I injected him with the serum and antidote, and the blackness on his arm quickly receded, and I sighed at the effect of the antidote, and at the same time, I was amazed that I was lucky that the cobra's poison could still hold on for so long without being poisoned.
Zhang Yang slowly opened his eyes, raised his eyes to look at the gnats who were fighting the snakes, and suddenly pulled me and said, "I can't do it, you go up quickly, take the key to pick up Jiang Yuan, and then cough cough"
I saw that there was blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and knew that he was not only bitten by a snake, but also suffered internal injuries in the fierce battle just now, and then saw that the gnats and eagles had been surrounded by snakes, many times they were only a millimeter between them and Shekou, and an unprecedented sense of mission suddenly fell from the sky, I wiped the blood, sweat and tears on my face, turned out the mountaineering rope in my backpack, and said while tying Zhang Yang to myself: "Four years ago, I owed Zhang Yuan a life, and at that time I swore that I would never leave the person surnamed Zhang in my life." , Regardless of whether you are a family or not, you kid should be glad that his surname is Zhang, don't worry, we will all be alive. ”
I carried it on my back, and at the same time picked up the dagger that fell on the ground, at that moment, I don't know where I got the courage and strength, the dagger was waving in the air, the position of the snake's head seven inches became the stage for my performance, the grasshopper and the eagle performed a stunt in the air, their hands grabbed seven or eight snakes in a few seconds, instantly straightened the snake body and then twisted together, the wrist forced, seven or eight snakes were instantly in a different place.
There were more and more poisonous snakes, and for a moment I wondered if we had blown up the snake cave and alarmed them, but when I thought about it, I felt ridiculous, and I was about to become a snake dinner, and I was still entangled in what to do.
The four of us were back to back again, our bodies already red with snake blood, and under our feet were thick dead snake corpses, some of which were still wriggling.
