The Grave of the Yellow Skin Chapter 15 The Worm Hook (I)

Although our eyes cannot make out the sight of the wild geese and cattle herded by the sky, as well as the panicked mounts, all show that there is a real and terrible thing in the dark, and we are forced to choose to avoid it without knowing the truth.

At first, no one noticed that the retired military horse ridden by the "old sheepskin" actually took us to escape into the grassland herdsman's nightmare "Hundred Eyes Cave", this hilly area called "Hundred Eyes Cave" is located at the junction of grassland and desert, we came from the east is the vast sea of grass, and then to the west is the endless Mongolian desert, the middle is separated by a hilly undulating mountain, forming a typical desertified grassland vegetation zone.

The col in front of you is overgrown with weeds and ancient trees, and if you look down from a high vantage point, this place may look like a huge black-green trap. Although the weather was sunny at that time, the terrain was low-lying, and the wind could not blow in, and I saw a wisp of mist wafting between the waist-deep grass, and there were bursts of rancid smell from it, and the old sheepskin pointed to the depths of the col and told us that the exact location of the "Hundred Eyes Cave" was actually in the bushes of the col, and his brother was forced into this road of no return by bandits.

I asked Old Sheepskin where was the demon dragon he saw here decades ago? Is it over this col? The old sheepskin said that he had never seen so much fog at that time, and that there was a dense forest in the col, but now he didn't know how there was such a big mist, and looking at the dense depths of the vegetation, the fog was so thick that it almost couldn't be dissolved, and the last time he saw the dragon, the place where he saw the dragon was now covered by the fog.

We immediately glanced into the woods, and the fog grew thicker the deeper we went, and in this case, if there was something hidden there, we couldn't see it until we touched it. The old sheepskin urged us to leave as soon as we could, staying in this ghost place for too long, if something really happened, I am afraid it would be too late to leave, and now the cattle can't be found, and whether they want to beat or punish after going back are all admitted, don't stay here and give your life better.

Although the fat man and I couldn't help but want to go into the forest to see what was inside, but considering the personal safety of Ding Sitian and the old sheepskin, we had to dispel this idea, and immediately turned the horse's head to leave, and the old sheepskin didn't want to stay here for more than half a moment, and wanted to pick up a shortcut to beat the horse over a grassy knoll, but there were many hidden rat holes on this slope, and the entrance to the cave was usually covered with wild grass, and it was impossible to see it at all, and the herdsmen were most afraid of sinking the horse's legs into the rat holes, which would easily lead the horse's legs to break off.

Ding Sitian's mount, the jujube red horse, just stepped into such a rat hole, the entrance of the hole is grass roots and sand, and it is a steep slope, the horse's weight is not light, after stepping on the rat hole, the horse's feet fell, and the jujube red horse carried Ding Sitian immediately planted to the side, only to hear the horse's neighing, and the diameter of the front leg was suddenly broken.

Fortunately, Ding Sitian's body was light, and she was thrown off by the jujube red horse that lost her center of gravity, and rolled down to the long grass and was not injured.

We saw our companions fall off the horse, were taken aback, immediately led the horse to stop, saw Ding Sitian just fell a body of loess grass clippings, then put down the heart, I just wanted to turn over and dismount, but at a glance I caught a glimpse of the mouse hole that was trampled by the jujube red horse, there was a frightened gray-white wild mouse jumped out, the two small eyes on the triangular head of the wild mouse flashed with fear, it was probably in the hole to close its eyes to recuperate, was startled by the sudden horse hooves, and fled in a panic and didn't care about the direction at all, "whoosh" jumped past Ding Sitian.

Ding Sitian, who landed on the horse, was still in shock, and saw that suddenly a big fluffy mouse ran in front of her, this wild mouse was fat and big, and it caught up with the smaller cat, and it was so close that the mouse hair was about to rub on her face, so frightened that she shouted, and hurriedly shrank her head to dodge.

According to my understanding of her, Ding Sitian is not small, and she is an outstanding figure among female intellectuals, but just now it happened suddenly, her exclamation can be regarded as outstanding, even the wild mouse was startled by her, and her whole body jumped up in place, the wild mouse body has not fallen in the air, and the grass behind Ding Sitian is messy, and a "black spotted worm" that grows without seeing the head and tail is poked out, the worm looks like a big centipede, and the whole body is dark yellow and green, because it has lived for a long time, the whole body is black and black, The gills and claws on the side of the mouth are extremely sharp, and the wild mouse that jumps in the air is latched in one bite, and the small holes on the cheeks and claws are filled with venom glands, and once the living creature is captured, venom will be injected immediately, and the wild mouse will die before it even has time to struggle.

This worm may usually lie down in the grass to prey, Ding Sitian fell off the horse and rolled in front of it, and was about to come out to bite, but the unlucky big mouse hit the muzzle of the gun first, which saved Ding Sitian's life, otherwise it would have quietly bitten Ding Sitian, this qiē happened in an instant, I and the fat man, the old sheepskin three people only reacted at this time, just started to see this monster so many feet, thought it was a big centipede, but when you look at it, the feet are much less than centipedes, there are only a dozen pairs, the length of the feet is amazing, It is much wider than its body, and the last pair is especially long, only then did I know that it was a worm, and shouted in unison to urge the horse to save Ding Sitian.

The worm swallowed the rat in one bite, although the wild mouse was big, where could it fill its appetite, its claws scratched, and he turned his head to bite Ding Sitian, after all, Ding Sitian had been a Red Guard, and had been trained in the big tandem storm and the vast world for several years, facing a crisis at this time, although he was very panicked, but his hands and feet could still move, seeing that the worm stretched out his palate and feet to bite, he quickly supported the ground with his hands and rolled his body outward to dodge.

At this time, the rest of our three people had already rushed to the front to answer, and the worm crawled out of the grass completely, its body was more than a meter long, its claws were moving, it walked quickly with poisonous ferocity, and it was not afraid of people and horses, and it made a "rustling ......" sound on the grass, and pounced on Ding Sitian again.

The fat man raised the hunting gun on the horse and wanted to fight, but this old weapon turned out to be dumb at the critical moment, although the gun did not go off, but the horse had already jumped over its head, and rushed to the bottom of the slope with a burst of loess, and the fat man took the horse to the ground. I saw that the worm was moving quickly, sliding rapidly on the grass, and it was better to let the horse trample it to death, so I drove the horse forward and pulled the reins violently, trying to make the horse's hooves trample the worm into mud.
