Chapter 12: Man-eating sacs
The calm water of the lake, like a monster, swallowed up the players who were playing in the lake.
I jumped into the water in a panic and found that the culprit who had caused everyone to disappear was a huge oval insect trap. Resisting the snake-like green suke vines, I finally broke through a giant insect trap and a person fell out of it.
It was impossible to see who the person who rolled out of the murky lake was in the muddy water, but now he didn't have time to care about 3721, so he immediately grabbed his arm and swam desperately towards the water.
The split insect sacs lost their lives, and the broken shells quickly shrank and became smaller, and then fell off with the tentacles to the bottom of the lake, no longer threatening in any way.
I rushed out of the water, and finally saw that the person I rescued was Zha Laoqi, his eyes were closed, his face was blue, obviously caused by suffocation, and he hurriedly grabbed him and rushed to the shore.
Zha Ling'er and Ugin hurriedly waded through the knee-high lake and carried Zha Lao Qi ashore.
Immediately I plunged to the bottom of the lake and continued to search for the others.
The bottom of the lake became more and more cloudy, I couldn't see my surroundings at all, and my eyes began to feel very stinging.
Suddenly, as if I had kicked something under my feet, I immediately spun around in the water. In the confusion, I grabbed a vine with both hands and attacked me, and along the vine, I found a huge thick grass stalk, and under the grass stem, an unusually large insect trap hung from it.
The round insect trap is surprisingly large, and it feels like an elephant is inside. The huge blue-green insect trap stalk bent down the thick grass stalks, and the insect trap was also wrapped in prey. The braces are almost as thin as cicada wings. I could clearly see through the transparent walls of the sac that there were black shadows inside.
I hurriedly waved the vajra in my hand. Cut through the insect trap sac. As a result, there was an uproar, and several people fell out of it. Directly knocked me, who couldn't dodge, to the bottom of the lake.
I couldn't help but open my mouth after the hard blow to my chest. As a result, the fishy water of the lake choked on my lungs, making me roll the whites of my eyes and almost faint.
The reason why the insect trap just now was so huge was because there were four people sucked in it, that is, the smoke man and his three senior brothers. The four of them must have been at the moment of the accident. They quickly rescued each other, but they were all sucked into the insect trap at once. And after they were preyed, they actually stretched their bodies in the insect trap sac, trying to break the insect trap sac. Although it didn't work, it was able to fight for enough room to breathe.
I don't know if I was hit by one of them who was in a hurry to break free, and my body couldn't help but sink down in the water. Luckily, they found me as a savior. Pulled me out of the water.
As soon as I reached the water, I regained my senses and said to them, "Save people." After saying that, he immediately took a deep breath. Sinking to the bottom of the filthy water again.
Today, the bottom of the lake is like the mud of the Yellow River, so filthy that you want to see it clearly. It's impossible to even open your eyes. I am getting more and more anxious, and there are nearly a dozen people. Sink to the bottom of this lake, in a few minutes. It's going to be nourishment for these ugly sacs.
I couldn't see with my eyes, so I groped around with all my sense of touch. Suddenly, his ankle was entangled again, and he was not in a hurry, but felt very relieved, and said: This is just like Sun Wukong who was worried about not being able to find the entrance of the Dragon Palace, but he happened to be caught by the shrimp soldiers and crabs and sent to the Dragon Palace.
I let the filamentous vines pull, and when my body felt the suction, I immediately grabbed the vines, quickly turned over in the water, successfully dodged the suction, and then came to the vines to touch the melon. After barely opening his eyes, he found a withered yellow round insect trap in front of him, and immediately pierced it without hesitation.
After the yellow insect trap broke, a large amount of black silt, foul-smelling dark green juice, and some white dry bones poured into my body at once, and I was so disgusting that I almost didn't vomit. But what bothered me the most was that there were no living people in this insect trap full of filth and debris, only a large number of dry bones.
It is absolutely impossible for teammates to be digested into dry bones so quickly, it seems that there are a large number of insect traps at the bottom of the lake, and it is very likely that he was lucky to rescue his teammates by chance. Now we are blindly looking for a needle in a haystack at the bottom of the vast lake.
I must not be discouraged now, once I am discouraged, my teammates who are imprisoned at the bottom of the lake will have no hope at all.
My hands and feet kept paddling in the muddy soup, and I couldn't remember how long it had been since I surfaced, except for the ringing in my ears, my lungs didn't feel uncomfortable. Only by shortening the search time as much as possible can more people be rescued.
Suddenly, I felt some cramps in my right leg, and immediately I exerted my arms and surged upward, saying to myself: I have been in the cold water for too long, and my body is a little unbearable. However, just as I was about to surface, my cramping right ankle was suddenly entangled in vines that sprang out from below, and my body was immediately carried downward.
I was suddenly shocked in my heart, and I said to myself: This vine really came at a bad time, and it didn't appear when I wanted to look for it, but it came to make a mess when my feet cramped.
I couldn't exert my strength in my right leg with a cramp, so I immediately rubbed my right leg with both hands, and the muscles in my thigh were immediately relieved. But his body was shaken by vines in the water, and he couldn't stabilize his body and couldn't break free. Soon he was dragged by the vines to an insect trap. My thighs had not yet recovered, and while feeling the suction, my body struggled forward, holding the vine with one hand, and stabbing the vajra into the insect trap with the other.
The dark green juice flowed down my arm, and the insect trap began to shake violently, trying to throw me out, and a few finger-thick sushi vines wrapped around my waist and thighs, pulling my body down hard, trying to drag me to the bottom of the lake. I gripped the vajra with both hands and let the sudo pull downward, cutting through the skin of the insect trap.
Like a poisonous snake that lingers around my vines, as the insect trap ruptures, it turns into weak noodles and floats away in the water.
In the broken insect trap, a white fat man fell out, and I recognized it as a fat man at a glance. He was covered in sour mucus, and I feared that he would be burned by the digestive juices of the insect sacs, and I grabbed him upstream as I washed his body with water. It was found that the black tight shorts he was wearing had been corroded into briefs, and even had two holes in his buttocks, but fortunately his body was not damaged, but he was suffocated and unconscious, as long as he went to the surface of the water, it would be fine.
I pulled the fat man and swam up, and I was about to rush out of the water, when suddenly my ankle was again tightly wrapped around the vine tendrils that came out of nowhere. The tense muscles in my right leg had not yet fully recovered, and after being grabbed by the green vines, I began to cramp again, and the air in my lungs had disappeared. At this time, I felt that Yan zhòng's breathing was difficult, and even his eyelids were a little heavy.
I know that I am now in a state of severe hypothermia, and I must find a way to get the fat man out of the water as much as possible, or we will both be in danger of life.
However, I am now "late and caught in the head wind", all kinds of situations emerge one after another, and my heart is anxious, but I can't break free from the entanglement of vines, and my hands and feet have become weak, and I am about to sink to the bottom of the lake forever.
The cold and foul-smelling lake water began to pour into my mouth, and my body was pulled down hard, and my lungs felt a tingling pain, and my head couldn't help but get confused. I suddenly remembered a Northeast proverb I heard when I was a child, called "Kill the one who has a strong mouth, drown the one who knows water." ”
After stepping into the inverted bucket industry, every time I got into the fight, I would face all kinds of dangers, and there were thousands of deaths, but I never thought that I would be drowned. Because, I trust and be proud of my swimming skills.
Now the fat brothers and I really want to be companions here as drowned ghosts. I'm so unwilling, Tianyu hasn't been found yet, the mystery of my life experience has not been solved, and there may be no one to support him in the old man's old age. There are still so many things I need to do, and I definitely can't just die here in nothingness.
Thinking of this, I bit my tongue violently, and the sharp pain made my brain clear immediately, and my thoughts turned to my heart.
I first let go of the fat man, then paddled with the detached hand, and with the other hand held the vajra peg, like a shrimp, and quickly bowed my waist in the water, struggling to cut the vines that were dragging my ankles.
After the vines were cut, I immediately swam upward, and in the blink of an eye I surfaced, and then I quickly took a deep breath, and in an instant I plunged to the bottom of the lake, grabbed the fat man who was still sinking, and pulled him tightly, swimming towards the shore.
The pain in my right leg was still like a muscle tearing and breaking, and I gritted my teeth and swam towards the shore without hesitation.
I had no idea how I had climbed to the shore with the fat man, and when I cleared up, I found that Zha Linger was bandaging my ankle. It turned out that when I cut the vines with the vajra, I cut a deep wound on my ankle. At that time, I was so engrossed in the water that I was running for my life, and I didn't pay attention to it at all, but now I found that the wound was deep and bone-intelligible, and the intense pain made my thighs tremble. Fortunately, after taking special trauma medicine, I was tied with thick gauze by Zha Ling'er, and the pain in my ankle was relieved a lot. As long as it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, once such a trauma is scarred, it will become a problem. After many adventures, I have suffered this little injury again, and I have become accustomed to it, and there is no major problem.
I came to my senses, and immediately looked around at the grass on the shore, and saw that there were slick and white striped members lying everywhere as if they had just been caught. One by one, almost all of the teammates who were rescued ashore were blistered white and wrinkled, like drowned floating corpses. I immediately stood up very worriedly, and despite Zha Ling'er's obstruction, I limped and began to check the number of people.
After counting the number of people, I sat down on the ground with peace of mind, and it seemed that the smoke boy and the brothers were not idle after I rescued them ashore.
That's why there are a lot of team members on the shore now. (To be continued......)
