Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Brahmaputra Man-eating Leech
The moment Qin Zhen got a little closer to Ma Lu's corpse, he immediately understood what Lao Gu said about "regretting it for a lifetime after taking a look".
Rao is self-reliant words just now were fully mentally prepared, but when the corpse with Ma Lu's abdomen facing upwards appeared in front of him, Qin Zhen still felt that his scalp was fried, and goosebumps were all up. The most important thing is that the poor gastric juice in the stomach is churning uncontrollably!
However, Qin Zhen still held on, he forced on to the extremely disgusting feeling, and took a few steps forward slightly so that he could see more clearly.
As Qin Zhen had thought before, Ma Lu's outer skeleton was only on the back, and its hard carapace was estimated to be difficult for anything to attack, so it naturally became its greatest protection. However, its abdomen is the same as that of other insects, and it does not have much protection. It is precisely because of this that normal horses, once touched, will immediately curl up. Protect your vulnerable inner side with a hard carapace.
And now...... The entire inner part of the mutilated giant horse was filled with palm-sized leeches. It is unknown what the head part of the body was eaten by, but it is clear that the remaining cup of "leftovers" has been shared by the leeches.
When Qin Zhen looked at Ma Lu's several meters long corpse, which was full of leeches, he suddenly began to understand that this dry quagmire ...... It should be their territory!
Qin Zhen retreated step by step, he grabbed Lao Gu and Jiang Qi and began to run towards the periphery of the quagmire. Lao Gu didn't know what was going on. I thought it was the corpse that was so disgusting that Qin Zhen was disgusted. As soon as he wanted to ask, he saw Qin Zhen's face extremely ugly and said, "We have to run out of this place, this quagmire is the nest of leeches." Ma Lu was in a hurry to escape and strayed into the leech's nest, so he ended up like this! ”
After listening to Qin Zhen's words, Lao Gu was still a little puzzled and asked, "But how did the seven or eight-meter-long giant Ma Lu get killed by those leeches?" In terms of size, they are too different, right? Or are these leeches, like mosquitoes, numerous? ”
"No, it wasn't these little leeches who killed Malu. They were supposed to be after Malu was already dead. It has a chance to absorb Ma Lu's abdomen. Qin Zhen said very strictly.
"Then, what do you mean......" Lao Gu suddenly seemed to understand the meaning of Qin Zhen's words. His face began to turn a little pale.
Qin Zhen replied without hesitation: "That's right, I guess there must be a big leech here." Perhaps it is the man-eating locusts endemic to the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon that Tashi said. Size...... You can even kill this giant horse without much effort. If there is such a creature, then I think it is now out of the initial stage of mere bloodsucking. Although Qin Zhen's words were analyzed very calmly and thoroughly, his heart was tense for a while. In this case. It really worries him.
Jiang Qi said on the side at this time: "What Qin Zhen said is right. Namaru's head is gone. But the body is still there. It was clear that the man-eating locust didn't care about the rest at all. It may eat exclusively on the head of a creature, leaving the rest for its descendants to consume. ”
Lao Gu didn't speak again. Not because of anything else, but in his mind, he couldn't imagine what a leech could look like if it was bigger than a giant horse. And this thing obviously has a tendency to become a goblin, huh, eating brains? Does it want to turn into a golden retriever?
Just as the three of them staggered out of the dry mire, the dirt under their feet suddenly changed. It seems that water is gradually coming out, making the originally dry soil soften again.
Qin Zhen stood still, in fact, he had already expected this most unpleasant scene. From the moment they stepped into this "death zone", the man-eating leech who didn't know where the yin was, must have spotted them, the intruders. The reason why it has not attacked for a long time may be that it is just waiting for an opportunity to move. But it is absolutely impossible for Qin Zhen and them to get out of their "territory" like this.
Yes, this is the territory of Qin Zhen's long-known and thunderous man-eating leeches, and it is also the red skull marker on the road map of Nazi Germany.
The ground beneath his feet became muddy, and leeches came out of it one after another. These leeches are of all sizes and are pitch black, except for a blood-red line on their backs. At first glance, it looks very different from ordinary leeches in the countryside. I don't know what the consequences will be after being absorbed by these things......
Before, Qin Zhen felt that this place was like a place that had been separated, but now it seems that this is a "minefield". Around the edge of the quagmire, more and more leeches began to emerge. It was so fast that they were trapped in the middle of this quagmire in the blink of an eye.
Lao Gu wiped his face and subconsciously raised his gun. But he knew that this guy in his hand was useless to leeches. Especially with such a large number of leeches!
And most importantly, the real king of this territory has not yet appeared, and the man-eating leech that poses the greatest threat to them has not yet appeared.
The three of them were trapped in this quagmire by leeches, probably wanting to trap them first, and then wait for their ancestors to come and eat Qin Zhen's head, and the corpses left in the end could be left for these disgusting things to be divided and eaten.
No! Never! Qin Zhen thought firmly in his heart, he couldn't die so disgusting no matter what!
But now look at the shape in front of you, unless the three of them are flying on the grass and have the ability to take off and take off the eaves and walk the wall, it is really impossible to escape here.
In fact, when these leeches first appeared, Qin Zhen almost had the idea of rushing out with medicine. But thinking of Tashi's words, Qin Zhen hesitated. These things don't just suck human blood, the main thing is that they burrow into the body! If they rush like this, they will definitely be drilled all over! By that time...... Isn't it worse than death?
This situation reminded Qin Zhen of Yudong, whenever they were in trouble, Qin Zhen would think about the problem from Yudong's point of view, speculating what he would do if it was Yudong. If he hadn't worked hard all the time, he wouldn't have been where he is today.
But with such a special environment and special circumstances at the moment, even if it is Yudong, it is impossible for him to fly out with light skills like martial arts novels, right? Thinking about it, Qin Zhen was still teasing Yudong at the beginning, saying that Yanzi Li San was his grandfather, but now it seems that even if grandpa really comes, it will be difficult to escape the siege of this group of leeches.
Looking at the leeches wriggling and churning in the muddy soil, all three of them felt a wave of disgust. Death, perhaps, is not scary, but what is scary is that you have no right to choose how you die.
No wonder Qin Zhen began to feel that there was a feeling of a fish pond here, it turned out that this was not a fish pond, but a "leech pond". And the "high-tech" is so that it can collect and release water, and automatically arrange the formation, so that everyone who comes in has to become nourishment.
The land beneath their feet, a few meters deep, was full of these disgusting things...... Otherwise, it wouldn't be as steady drilling out as it is now.
Thinking about the giant horse just now, it was a majestic monster before, and now that it is here, it is estimated that it will be able to digest it in less than three days. Bao Zhun'er can't even have a slag left.
Looking at more and more leeches, Lao Gu couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted with red eyes: "Qin Zhen, what are you doing in a daze at a critical time!" Hurry up and figure it out! ”
Why doesn't Qin Zhen want to come up with a clever plan for everyone at this moment? But the only thing he had on his mind now was that they must not touch these leeches, lest they get into their bodies. But then they can't break in. It's damp everywhere, and it's impossible to use fire......
Lime! Yes, yes, they still have lime, let's fence the three of them in a circle first. Otherwise, I don't know if it will be covered by these leeches like a rising tide for a while.
Qin Zhen and Jiang Qi immediately started to sprinkle lime around them. Not to mention, it still works. The leeches didn't dare to approach.
Lao Gu smiled bitterly: "You are now like the circle that Brother Monkey drew for Tang Seng with a golden hoop stick, and you can't solve the practical problem at all." Should Old Tang be arrested or arrested, as for us...... Even if these leeches can't get in, we can't get out. If the confrontation continues, they still have a horse to eat, and we will have to wait for death. ”
Qin Zhen also knew that this was a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but it was better to delay it first before he could find a way, right? So at this time, he glared at Gu Jie and scolded: "Your feelings for Journey to the West are really deep, and you can't get involved with it without you." You have the kung fu to come up with a way to tell us about it, okay? ”
Originally, he thought that he could choke on these words, but he couldn't speak for a long time, but he didn't expect that Lao Gu smiled gloomily: "Hmph, this is the result of Commander Gu's farsightedness." If I hadn't kept a hand at the beginning, we would have fed these locusts today! ”
"What? Lao Gu, what are you doing to our mortal situation...... Is there any other way to return to heaven? Qin Zhen looked at Gu Jie suspiciously. It's not that Qin Zhen doesn't believe him, it's that it's hard for Lao Gu to believe that he can come up with any ideas to turn the tide.
Jiang Qi was also a little unexpected. He first looked at Qin Zhen, and when he saw Qin Zhen's disbelieving look, he simply said to Lao Gu: "Lao Gu...... It's not a joke at this time, is that true? What's the solution? ”
"Damn! Why don't you believe me so much? You guys are naked/naked doubting my strength! Wait, Commander Gu, I'll turn the tide for you! (To be continued......)
