Chapter 40: The Sea of Worms

There is such a legend in Egypt, which is inevitably suspected of brainwashing. Myths and legends like this, which are full of positive energy, are common to every country or nation.

It is also common in the monarchy and religious culture of many countries, for one purpose - brainwashing. Let all the people of the country and religious believers be able to believe in the monarch or the founder of religion without suspicion.

"You two are really not things! What time is it, I'm under this dry corpse, and you still have the heart to talk about the origin of the mummy. The old ghost got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said to me and Qian Cheng, "But...... Hearing you say that, how do I feel like making a roast suckling pig? It is also disemboweled, and then, add condiments to it. ”

"You want to eat!" Hearing the old ghost say this, I couldn't help but scold: "Can you be a little more disgusting? Such a delicious dish, you actually associate it with roast suckling pig. ”

"I'm just talking about the machining process." The old ghost said, "I didn't say anything about the taste." However, when it is said that I am hungry! ”

Qian Cheng and I heard the old ghost say this, and we really felt hungry. The three of them hurriedly took out the food and water they had prepared in advance from their bags and began to devour them. Because our previous experience tells us that it is not realistic to bring some fluid food. So, in addition to fresh water, we came in this time with compressed food.

Because the old ghost and I had equipment before, the backpack containing the food was handed over to Qian Cheng for safekeeping. He had brought a large bag of things, which he said were all daily necessities that he had to use. But. In this way, there is only one way to keep it simple. We also gave him a very loud name - Minister of Logistics.

The grandson of the old ghost, as long as he is full of food and drink, he can't be idle. When the three of us were almost eating, he said to Qian Cheng: "Hey, I said Minister of Logistics, when will our food be improved?" ”

"Fuck off! What's the Minister of Logistics? Don't chill me, I'm just a dozen. Qian Cheng said with a little self-deprecation.

When the old ghost heard Qian Cheng say this, he laughed and said, "Haha, don't take bean bags for dry food!" An official the size of a sesame seed, that's also an official. ”

Just when Qian Chenggang wanted to say something. Suddenly closed his mouth again. Tilt your face slightly and listen.

Seeing Qian Cheng's movements, the old ghost and I also listened carefully. It turned out that all around us, suddenly there was another sound like a slight slide of a stone slab. Followed by. It's that rustling sound!

The three of them suddenly felt bad. It's too late to clean up. He stuffed the leftover food in his hand into his bag haphazardly. The last thing we want to happen is still happening, and the last thing we want is happening.

The three of us looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and we were shocked. I saw a black shadow-like thing. Come closer to us. If you look closely, you can see that there are those terrible and numerous beetles.

The black pressure is overwhelming, and there are almost no gaps in the denseness. It is no exaggeration to say that there are at least tens of thousands of beetles in that area. The wide area formed is like a piece of sea, moving closer to us.

This kind of scene is really something we have never seen before. In the basement of Savannah before, I had seen a tide of rats. However, where had Qian Cheng seen such a scene, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Mom, we're going to die this time!" Qian Cheng said with some six gods.

In fact, we all know in our hearts that these man-eating beetles will not let us go lightly. They have been hungry for thousands of years, and they finally see the "meat", so how can they let it go. These man-eating insects, when they see a living person, reveal their ferocious nature.

It is precisely because of the particularity of this insect that the ancient pharaohs used them to torture. It is said that these man-eating beetles were kept by special people when they were not subjected to the punishment of "insect devouring". These people would keep the ferocious beetles in special airtight containers and feed them with the flesh of ancient Egyptian prisoners, animals, or dismembered dead people.

These insects eat raw animal or human flesh for a long time without seeing the light, which creates their murderous cannibalistic nature and bloodthirsty instincts.

Since Qian Cheng had never seen such a scene, he suddenly lost his backbone, so he hurriedly asked me what to do? I remembered that the method he just said coincided with the method in the movie, and I felt that it was feasible. So, I hurriedly beckoned the old ghost and Qian Cheng, and hurriedly lit the torch.

To deal with this man-eating beetle, it is definitely not possible to use knives and guns. Besides, there are so many beetles that we can't deal with a few bullets and our fists and legs. It seems that the only feasible way is to attack with fire. It's just that this is the only way, and it's still a little difficult to implement.

The source of fire is there, but the problem of combustibles really gives us some headaches. Before I could think of a good solution, I saw that the black man-eating beetles were gathering more and more. What's even more terrifying is that these beetles cross over from either side of us and surround us in the middle. We are in a very dangerous situation, and we have fallen into a passive state all of a sudden.

Before the three of us could think of a foolproof solution, we were almost caught in a sea of man-eating beetles. I was thinking about how to get out when I saw the old ghost step forward and kick the huge brazier over. The raging fires were accompanied by countless charcoal fires, which rolled directly down to the ground, like countless burning fireballs.

The man-eating beetles that were gradually moving closer to us saw these flames and naturally retreated.

As soon as the old ghost saw this scene, he laughed proudly and said, "Aha, it turns out that you little ones are really afraid of fire!" Then Uncle Ben is welcome. ”

After speaking, the old ghost waved the torch in his hand at the countless beetles in front of him, and the man-eating beetles that had originally surrounded him retreated one after another. However, it was only a temporary retreat. As soon as the torches with the old ghosts swept by, they surrounded them again.

Qian Cheng and I saw that the old ghost's method worked, so we hurriedly waved the torches in our hands, and those man-eating beetles also retreated on their own. Each of the three of us was on our side, each waving a torch in front of us. But as soon as the torches were far away, those damn black insects immediately surrounded them.

In this way, the encirclement formed by the man-eating beetles also grew and decreased according to the distance we wielded our torches. (To be continued......)
