Chapter 11: The Bell Worm

I was fascinated by the strange iron beast head, and when I heard the sound of gears running from inside it, I was very curious to pry the iron beast head open to find out, and at this moment, I realized that I was really a plaything, wasting precious time to rescue Yue'er. So, I hurriedly beckoned everyone to continue on their way.

When I came to the Iron Pillar, the Master, who had his back to me, sensed my arrival and turned around. To my astonishment, I found that the expression on Master's face was very strange, and I was stunned to think that Master seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit. However, the strange expression on Master's face only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing, restoring his usual expression. This made me hesitate to wonder if those strange expressions had really ever appeared on Master's face.

I stood near the pillar for a few seconds, and then softly called out "Master".

The master didn't seem to notice the strange expression he had just now, and still looked like an old god was there, and asked me with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

I was wary of the strange expression that appeared on Master's face just now, and looked Master up and down with concern, and then casually tested him in a very relaxed tone, as if I didn't care, "What was your old man listening to just now?" Isn't there something strange about this iron pillar? ”

Master, habitually wisp of his goatee, turned his head to look at the iron pillar beside him, and said to me, "This Huabiao is a little strange. But let's not worry too much about it and keep going. ”

I was about to speak, when the foreign female interpreter came from behind me and said to Master and Me, "It's early in the morning, it's almost time to rest, I discussed with Captain Locke, the fog here is relatively thin, let's just eat something here, rest for a while, and then continue walking." Although time is of the essence, recuperation and preservation of the body are also crucial for rescue. ”

Master and I nodded and agreed with the female translator, and the three of us approached the bearded man and told him what Captain Locke had said, and he immediately nodded in admiration. The members of the search and rescue team began to rest in place, and as soon as I sat on the ground, my eyelids began to fight, and after I struggled to roll my eyelids a few times, I no longer had the strength to lift my heavy eyelids.

Suddenly, a spirit shattered my dreams, and I opened my eyes and sat up from the ground. My back felt cold and damp, and I felt very uncomfortable. The heart said: I couldn't sleep peacefully without a bed before, and even if I fell asleep, I would wake up as long as I heard the slightest movement. I remember when I was a child, the roof leaked, and the faint sound of water dripping could make it impossible for me to sleep peacefully. And now it's good, even if you are lying on the busy road, you can easily fall asleep without moving.

I got up from the ground, stretched, and stretched my stiff limbs. It was found that the other members of the search and rescue team had finished their rest and were cooking and eating. There was a small iron pot on the ground, surrounded by charcoal mixed with the smell of some kind of pungent fuel, and a little smell of vegetables and grains. I was already hungry, and I couldn't wait to get close to the iron pot, greedily inhaling the aroma of the food! I saw the sticky porridge and rice boiling in the iron pot, and there was a layer of meat crumbs floating on it, and I said to myself: What a luxury! In this kind of place, at this time, there can still be such food, I am so grateful!

After eating a meal that I could no longer tell whether it was breakfast or dinner, Captain Locke informed everyone that they could sleep for another hour, and although I had slept just now, I was not relieved of my fatigue at all, and I was now so sleepy that I could fall asleep standing up. Hearing that I could sleep again, I sat on the floor and lay on my backpack. At this point, my eyelids felt as heavy as lead, and my brain was as muddy as a mess of paste, and I felt like I wanted to vomit. The heart said: It seems that my body is already weak, and I must take a good rest. Thinking of this, I fell into a deep sleep.

Bell bell, bell bell, is a pleasant sound of the wind blowing in the breeze, quiet and clear, as if there is a wonderful elf singing softly in the depths of the soul. In my dreams, I wondered, "What is it that soothes a weary heart?" My eyeballs lay under my eyelids, and before I knew it, I was squinting my half-open eyes, looking for the melodious voice of my dream.

There was silence all around, only the sound of snoring disturbing the silence. When I opened my eyes, the sleepiness was gone, the foreigners of the search and rescue team were still asleep, and Master and Luo Dabeard were also leaning on the iron pillar and falling asleep, I didn't expect that I would be the first to wake up.

The sky above the pit has begun to whiten, and the sun in the northeast is rising very quickly. I looked around, and the pit was still foggy, but the visibility was much better than at night.

The first day of the search and rescue ended in nothingness.

I sat on the floor and twisted my neck, my neck was as stiff as wood, and my whole body was extremely sore, and I was about to stand up and move my muscles. Suddenly, a crisp bell passed through my eardrums, just like the light wind chimes in my dreams. The beautiful voice gently drifted into the ears, like a beautiful and beautiful voice that should not be in the world. Before I could look for the source of the sound, I saw a golden beetle with a round body, flapping two transparent wings with golden veins, and gently landed on my shoulder. I looked at the beetle on my shoulder and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow, what kind of beetle is this, it's so beautiful!" ”

The golden beetle on its shoulder is a bit like a beetle, but its body is not a semicircular shape like a beetle, but its entire body is round, like a huge golden bean.

Curious, I reached out and pinched the beetle on my shoulder. The beetle's body was the size of a small grape, and it was covered in gold, with no tentacles or eyes visible on its head the size of a grain of rice, and a crack in its round abdomen, making the beetle look like a round copper bell. I also found that its six legs and feet were also golden, and I said, "This insect is really strange, and it looks like it is made of gold leaf, so it is possible that this insect is a little elf transformed from gold." I saw how cute this beetle looked, so I wanted to find a bottle or jar to put it in and show it to everyone later.

As a result, just as I was holding my backpack in front of me, another crisp bell rang, followed by another ringing, and then one after another, and the crisp bells rang one after another. After the ring, I found that more than a dozen golden beetles had flown down from the backpack in front of me. The people who were sleeping around them woke up one after another because of the sound of bells.

At this time, the beetles began to gather more and more, and many people found that the sound of the wind chimes was emitted by this beautiful golden beetle, and they all grabbed the golden beetle in surprise and watched it in their hands. As soon as I woke up, everyone gathered in front of my backpack, staring at the golden elves on it with wide eyes, and they were all amazed, completely hooked by these beautiful little bugs.

The female translator said excitedly: "The rare beetle species that is completely unknown is really beautiful!" ”

I couldn't help but admire: "The golden one is very beautiful, but if you say that this is an unknown species, then I was the first to discover it, and according to convention, should this beetle be named after me?" ”

The female translator listened to me, smiled and did not answer. As a result, she nodded a little uncomfortably when she saw me staring at her waiting for an answer. I saw her nonchalantly nodding, but I immediately became excited. If this golden unknown beetle comes to my name, it doesn't mean that I am going to gain fame and fortune, as long as I catch some and go back to study it well and then hold an exhibition, then the master can bid farewell to the mud-legged class and become a person in high society. Thinking of this, my heart was beautiful, and the smugness on my face was undoubtedly revealed.

As a result, I saw Master beside me and saw my smug face, rolled the whites of my eyes, and walked away. I thought to myself: I am a little carried away, I am the authentic descendant of the mountain movers, the best among the tomb robbers, how can I think about these things that are not in tune.

At this time, the beetles around gathered more and more, and they were densely covered on the iron pillar, and the original rusty iron pillar was now shining with golden light as if it had been plated with a layer of gold, and those who didn't know thought that there was a golden hoop stick inserted here.

Seeing that everyone had enough of admiring it, Captain Locke immediately put on his backpack and beckoned everyone to get ready to go on the road. I hurriedly grabbed my backpack from the ground and put it on my shoulder, and then quickly stood up and prepared to go. The reason why I act like I'm acting aggressively is so as not to make everyone misunderstand that I'm really out of tune. And just when everyone was packing up and preparing to go, a huge beetle suddenly fell from a high altitude and happened to fall on the top of a tall foreigner's head.

The golden beetle was slightly larger than the others, about the size of a walnut, but it had a head the size of a soybean, and the head was a bright fiery red, which was particularly conspicuous and dazzling. This small beetle should have accidentally fallen off the iron pillar because of a stumble, and happened to fall on top of the tall foreigner's head. Due to the instinct of saving his life, several of its small short legs desperately hooked the hair of the tall foreigner to prevent the round body from falling again.

I looked up at the iron pillar that had turned gold, and said to myself: It turns out that these little insects crawled out of the iron pipe inserted in the iron pillar, and this huge golden beetle with a red head should be the king of beetles, and it seems that it can't fly. The red-headed Beetle King was still struggling in the messy hair of the tall foreigner, and at this time, the little golden beetle that had been quietly parked all over the place around was flying close to the Worm King who fell in the messy hair, as if to rescue it.

Bell bell bell, bell bell, the deafening bell instantly rang around the tall foreigner's head, and the tall foreigner hurriedly waved his left hand to drive away the beetles around his head. Then, with his other hand, he quickly dragged down the insect king trapped in his messy hair, and then threw it vigorously into the distance.

As a result, the master, who was standing beside me, suddenly shouted "no", and immediately flew over, trying to catch the insect king who was thrown away.

However, the master was a step too late, and the insect king happened to be thrown on top of the iron pillar, and he was shattered and died.

The foreigners of the search and rescue team were startled by the master's sudden exclamation, and they all looked at the master in a daze. As a result, when he saw the master who had rushed to the front of the iron pillar, he turned around sharply and shouted "run". After speaking, he didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately pulled me, who was still standing stupidly, and rushed forward like crazy.
