Chapter 45: The Ice Age
The larvae in the shape of a white football ball were swimming against the current and had chased after the crowd, and one of them jumped on my back and bit my shoulder blades. Continuing to paddle with one arm, the other hand ripped off the white larva that had bitten into the shoulder blades. Originally, I wanted to pinch it in pain, but I didn't know if these cocoons were poisonous, so I had to throw them away.
Next, my teammates began to experience the same pain as me, and they were bitten hard by the black fangs and mouthparts of the white larvae, and the screams of pain were incessant.
The white larvae bounced on the backs of the crowd on the water's surface, and I thought that if I dived, I might be able to dodge the white larvae's attack. So he beckoned everyone to dive into the water without showing their heads, and continued to swim forward.
However, this method is a big test and torture for people with poor lung capacity, and the monkey who smokes very much, his face will turn purple after a while, and I pull him and let him hold on, and take this opportunity to get rid of the white larvae, even if he can't get rid of them successfully, it is a good thing to keep a distance.
The white larvae really can only float on the surface of the water and cannot sink underwater, so we have a distance from the white fat larvae.
However, in the blink of an eye, the white larvae poured behind everyone's backs again. In this way, we went deep into the water again and swam forward, and then when all the air in our lungs was exhausted, we resurfaced, and so on and again, although we could not completely shake off the white larvae, but we did not do a lot of damage.
Slowly, we started to be at a disadvantage again because our physical exertion was too great. And the white larvae are tireless, chasing after them.
Soon. The white larvae jumped on the backs of the people again, and I was very unlucky. Five or six white larvae jumped up on my back at once, biting at the top of my back. At the same time, the body was smashed down by several obese white larvae. I dived into the water, but I tried to shake off the white larvae that were biting on my back, but the white larva that was biting on my back refused to let go, so I had to surface again and try to tear off the white larva that was biting on my back. As I ripped the last white larva off my back, I suddenly felt a cold wind chilling through my bones. Then I was shocked to find that the surface of the river, which had only been frozen before, was beginning to form a thick layer of ice, and the entire riverside in the distance was completely frozen in the distance, and the frozen river was about to spread to our nearest.
I was surprised to look around and saw a metasequoia tree not far from the upper left, which was high above the water, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to swim towards the tree.
Just in the beginning. Everyone hadn't noticed the anomaly in front of them, and when the cold wind hit, everyone was dumbfounded, and at the same time their whole bodies kept shaking. I don't know if I was frightened by the shocking situation in front of me, or if I was shivering because the river was cold again.
We swam towards the metasequoia trees high above the water, and the cold, hard surface of the river was getting closer and closer. The white larvae that had been chasing after us all retreated like a tide. When we swam to the tree. A finger's thick layer of ice had formed on the surface of the river, and I hurriedly pushed Zha Ling'er to the top of the tree. Others also climbed the canopy.
The cold wind that froze to the bone marrow howled, and the river made a crackling sound, and then the surface of the river beneath our feet turned into a hard, thick ice.
It was as if an ice age had suddenly fallen, and everything around it began to be covered in frost. The white larvae, desperately fleeing in the distance, are chased one by one by the cold, emotionless Frost, and then freeze over the surface of the river. From a distance, the white larvae frozen in the river look like white rugby balls scattered on the rugby training grounds. And the white larvae that desperately escaped and jumped up from the river, so they were frozen in mid-air, like the white carp that stiffened and froze after the failure of the carp dragon gate.
Sweat dripped down my chin and fell on the surface of the river, and it suddenly froze into ice particles. We really didn't die, and at the last moment, we came across this metasequoia tree, which was many higher than the river, and helped us escape this catastrophe, and we should really bow down to it at this time.
Standing on top of the branches, she hugged the tree and asked, "Can we go down?" I don't have any strength in my hands. ”
Because she was worried that the branches under her feet would be trampled off, she kept holding the torso of the tree tightly with both hands, and her feet were actually hanging in the air, supporting her body with both hands. And almost everyone else is in the same situation.
I told her to wait, and because I was worried that the ice wasn't solid, I jumped down to check it out. Raising his hand, he just wanted to insert the vajra into the ice, when he suddenly heard the sound of an eggshell cracking under his feet, and suddenly his heart was cold, and he hurriedly moved a few steps towards the big tree, and looked down at the ice under his feet in a panic.
Although I heard a very clear cracking sound, there was no crack in the ice beneath my feet. So he looked at the ice in the distance, but he didn't see any obvious cracks on the ice.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound again, and the sound was like thunder on the silent river, and I immediately looked in the direction where the sound sounded. I saw that not far away, the larvae that were frozen into a white rugby ball, the ice wrapped around it cracked like an eggshell, and then a pair of wings waving a terrifying black grimace spread out poignantly in the air.
The crackling sound in the sky was endless, white rugby balls burst in response, and grimacing butterfly wings spread out in the air.
This is the first time I've seen the full picture of the grimace moth during the day, and there is no horror at night, but more poignant. Not all white rugby balls eventually break out of their cocoons and become butterflies.
Grimace moths hovered over the unhatched football ball for a long time, as if waiting for their companions to emerge from their cocoons. However, the white fat larvae that were unable to regrow their wings lay in the white frozen football ball forever.
The Grimace Moths could not wait for the rest of their companions, and flew away like a black cloud. Leaving behind the moth larvae frozen on the surface of the river, dreaming of becoming a butterfly. The white frozen rugby balls, like small white grave bags, have become ghost-faced moths that bury their lives due to dreams, and become a white butterfly cemetery.
I don't know when, everyone has stepped on the ice, Zha Ling'er said that she suddenly felt very sad, a trace of cold, from the heart to the outside of the body. (To be continued......)
