The straps are thin and narrow, and the fire is naturally not vigorous. The fat man crawled along, and the fire on the strap became much weaker, and the ants rushed up and devoured it. I followed at the end, and when I got to my place, the fire on the strap was completely extinguished, and the corpses of man-eating ants were all along the way, clattering against them. Within two steps of climbing, the ants climbed up my hands and legs, and the pain in my heart was so hard that I wanted to roll on the ground. The fat man also scolded while crawling: "Fuck! Ouch! Dog offal! Although he was scolding in his mouth, the speed on his legs did not decrease at all, but he climbed faster and faster.

Suddenly, an ant crawled on my face and bit my eyelids, and my eyes suddenly ached sharply, and I couldn't help but groan. Shirley Yang immediately asked with concern: "Old Hu, what's wrong with you?" I stretched out my hand and patted the ant on the dead eye and said, "It's okay, leave me alone, hurry up and crawl forward." "My eyes hurt so badly that I had to close them and crawl forward quickly. Countless ants pounced on my body, and I felt like the flesh was being torn off my body piece by piece. This severe pain is the most painful feeling in the whole world, and the pain is 10,000 times more painful than shrapnel piercing the body. It's a short 20 meters, but it's as long as 20,000 meters. Just when I was about to hold on, the fat man shouted in front: "It's over, there are no straps!" ”

Shirley Yang hurriedly said, "Fatty, stop, let's break through the ant array!" Hearing Shirley Yang say this, my tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and I suddenly felt unbearable pain all over my body, as if every skin had been bitten off, and my legs and hands were also sore. Shirley Yang turned on the flashlight and shone it on me and the fat man, who could only be described as miserable, his clothes were all bitten and his flesh was bleeding as if he had been twisted by a meat grinder. There are some traces of fire on the body, and the hands are bitten and burned the most. I don't have to look at it to know that I'm about the same as a fat man, and I don't look like anyone anymore. However, except for a few burns, Shirley Yang did not see the bite of the man-eating ants.

The fat man and I were lying on the ground weakly, Shirley Yang looked at the two of us, exclaimed in a low voice, immediately took off his backpack and rummaged through, and said: "I just looked carefully, this tunnel is much lower than the tunnel just now, according to my estimation we climbed down at an angle of sixty degrees to twenty meters, that is to say, the vertical distance is about twelve meters." The ground in this section of the tunnel is very wet, and there are water droplets dripping overhead, so man-eating ants will not live here. You can rest assured. As he spoke, he pulled out a tube of ointment and a bottle of antibiotics, gave me and the fat man the antibiotics, and smeared the ointment on the wounds.

The fat man lay on the ground "ouch" for a long time, and finally gasped and said: "Old Hu, we have been born and died so many times, and this time it scares me the most." I was terrified when I thought about the crazy cannibalism of the ants. If we hadn't escaped just now, we'd be three white bones lying there now. ”

The wound was smeared with ointment and cool, and I felt better, so I sat up and said, "I can't imagine that you, the unsparing master, are also afraid, this secret passage is really damaged to the house, I want to see what treasure is hidden in it." If we don't get this secret to the letter, we'll suffer this sin in vain. By the way, Shirley Young, why didn't you get attacked by man-eating ants? ”

Shirley Yang was busy looking for bandages to bandage me and the fat man, and said, "I thought about this question just now, it stands to reason that these man-eating ants eat everything, but they only attack you and the fat man, not me." And we came down to this tunnel together, if there is any difference, it is also outside the tunnel. ”

I had a flash of inspiration and said, "Is it a switch?" Shirley Yang nodded and said, "I also think the problem lies in the switch of the secret passage." I didn't touch the switch of the secret passage, it was the fat man and you who pressed the nine nails one after another, maybe there was some special object painted on those nails, and these ants are not ordinary man-eating ants, they only attack people who touch the special objects on the nails. ”

The fat man said hatefully: "Damn, a group of old bald asses still keep saying 'mercy' with such a cruel mechanism of their mother's mind. When Lao Tzu goes out, he must have set fire to this dust-washing temple. "When Shirley Yang was almost bandaged, we dragged our scarred bodies on. After climbing about a hundred meters, we were all safe, and the secret passage was so quiet that only the breathing of the three of us could be heard. The more quiet it is, the more uneasy my heart is, judging from the distance we climbed, this secret passage should be almost at the end, it makes no sense that all the mechanisms are hidden in the place where we just entered the secret passage, and let the rest of the journey be so smooth. I listened carefully to the sounds in the secret passage as I crawled, just in case anything might happen.
