Chapter Ninety-Eight: Encountering Blood Gu Worms
"Hadron, be careful, it's slippery here." Datou walked in the front to open the way, Kong Sanye and I were in the middle, and Datuan walked in the back, which was similar to in the previous ancient tomb, and it was also the four of us.
The big head walked in front for a short time and almost slipped, but fortunately he reached out and grabbed a small tree beside him so that he would not roll down.
When I saw the big head get up, as if it wasn't hurt much, my heart relaxed. After the big head stopped, he grabbed the small tree with one hand, and stretched out the other hand, and took Kong Sanye beside me to a safe place, and then turned around and continued to walk down.
The further down you go, the harder it is to walk and the darker the light becomes. We walked for less than two hours before we were exhausted. Datou and Datuan seem to have strength, but Kong Sanye and I can't do it, especially Kong Sanye, he is so old, he must take a good rest to recover his strength.
"Qiangzi, you call the big head and the big group, you have something to say." We found a slightly flat ground and sat down, and Kong Sanye leaned against the tree and shouted to me.
Datou and Datuan, each with a knife, were driving the way down, and I called them both up. The three of us sat around Kong Sanye, waiting for him to speak.
"Qiangzi, big head, big group, you come and take this, these were originally used to prevent mosquitoes, but there are no mosquitoes here at all, I added something to it, and the general Gu worms will not get close after smelling it, this blood Gu worm doesn't know, but it's better than nothing." Kong Sanye took out a few bottles of pale green liquid from his backpack and handed them to the three of us.
The three of us looked at each other with the bottle of liquid, not knowing how to use it, and then looked at Kong Sanye at the same time and asked him, "Kong Sanye, how to use this thing, do you wipe it on your body, or drink it?" ”
"Of course it's smeared on the body", Kong Sanye glanced at us, and continued to say to us: "Now every step we take may get closer to those blood Gu worms, we don't know if we will meet them during the day or at night, if it's okay during the day, if it's night, then it's really dangerous." ”
Hearing Kong Sanye's words, I was shocked, in this dense forest, it is so difficult to walk during the day, and the light is very dark. If it's really night, then it's like there's no way to escape, and once you meet the Blood Gu worm, just wait for dinner.
Without any more nonsense, the three of us opened the bottle cap and wiped it directly on our bodies. If you can't wipe the back, let people help wipe each other, and even the intimate parts are all wiped on.
"Damn, how do you eat here?" After the big head wiped his body, he wanted to go to the backpack to get something to eat, but he thought that he had wiped his whole body with his hands just now, so he retracted his hand again.
"Wash your hands, then eat, and when you're done, wipe the rest of the bottle on your hands." Datuan wiped his hand on his clothes a few times and said to the big head.
Kong Sanye took out a pair of gloves directly from the backpack, applied the liquid to the gloves, and then said to us: "You can wash your hands, apply it to the gloves, and put the gloves on." This makes it convenient that you don't have to wash your hands every time. ”
Such a simple question, we didn't even expect it just now, and took out gloves from the backpack. I have to say that the force behind it this time is really powerful, even the gloves can be prepared by one person, and the quality is still the top one.
After coating the gloves all over the place, a few of us washed our hands with water from a plastic pot, and then the big head turned our hands into the backpack again and took something to eat.
After a short break, we started to go back down. The trees below are even thicker, and I don't know why the trees are so dense and even the ground is overgrown with weeds.
There was a dead silence all around, and there was not the slightest sound, only the sound of the big heads cutting trees in front of us, and the sound of our footsteps and gasps. The four of us walked all the way and didn't speak, because the road was too difficult to walk, and we had to deal with it carefully, and if we were distracted, we might fall.
"Qiangzi, Kong Sanye, listen, is there a voice?" The big man who suddenly walked in front of the way, put away the knife in his hand, listened carefully, and then asked us.
The three of us also walked quickly to the big head's side, stopped all movements, and listened carefully. The big head heard it right, and sure enough, there was a sound, the sound of running water, although it was not a big river, but it was definitely the sound of flowing water from a small stream. Just find this creek and follow the flow down, and you will definitely find the river.
The sound of the water was relatively weak, and in order to find the stream smoothly, we all kept the sound of walking to a minimum, and the amplitude of the big head opening the way was much smaller.
As a result, our speed is much slower, but if we can find a stream, the rest will be much easier. Water generally flows through the least resistance, and the creek is one of the best natural paths in the mountains.
After walking for about half an hour, the sound became clearer and clearer, and it seemed that the stream was not small. The creek is getting closer, and our mood is getting more and more excited. Finally, after ten minutes, we saw the stream, the water was very clear, and it was refreshing to see.
There was a large flat area by the stream, and the weeds were not so deep, so we found a drier place next to the stream and sat down.
"Damn, there's not even a fish in this water, it's useless." The big head had long wanted to get some meat to eat, and just now he went to the waterhole over there and went around, but he didn't find anything and came back empty-handed.
"Haven't you heard that when the water is clear, there are no fish, the water here is so clear, there are no fish at a glance, and if you want to go to see it, you will definitely not be able to catch anything." Datuan saw that the big head came back a little dejected, and said sarcastically with a smile.
The big head didn't speak, he came directly and opened my bag, took out a piece of pot helmet bun and took a big bite, and then said with a mouthful: "It's a little taste to eat this now, I really didn't expect the hadron to have this kind of thing, much better than ours." ”
There are not many steamed buns left, there are only a few, each cut into four pieces. We haven't found a place yet, so we're almost out of food, but luckily the two squads have almost all the food here. The person in charge surnamed Ma and Xiao Wu didn't bring much with them when they left, and the rest was left to us, so we don't have to worry too much about food now.
I took two more pieces of the pot and helmet bun in the bag and handed it to Da Tuan and Kong Sanye, and I also took out a piece to eat, Kong Sanye beckoned us all to gather around and discuss the next thing.
"Third Master Kong, let's go down this stream directly, and save the need to open a road in the woods. And the light here is much better than in the woods. I took a sip of water, swallowed the pot of steamed buns, and said to him.
"Qiangzi, this is in the mountains, and now the water here looks a little flat, maybe a few hundred meters ahead will suddenly come to a waterfall, and then we won't have to take a detour." Before Kong Sanye could speak, the big head first expressed his opinion.
"It's okay, it's easy to do. The four of us have ropes in their backpacks, and the ropes add up to hundreds of meters long, plus Kong Sanye's iron claws, it should be no problem. "I've thought about this before, I don't believe that there is a drop of more than a thousand meters in this mountain, and the biggest problem is how to get the rope back after going down.
Kong Sanye sat there and sighed and said, "Those are all trivial matters, what I'm most worried about now is the problem of blood Gu worms." ”
Compared to the Blood Gu worm, what we discussed was a trivial matter. Kong Sanye's words made several of us stop discussing and put our minds on the blood Gu worm.
For a moment, no one spoke, and they didn't know what to say. After a while, Kong Sanye sighed and said to us, "Let's go", then picked up his bag and stood up. A few of us followed, stood up and continued to set off.
Going down the river, sure enough, within a few hundred meters, there was the first relatively large drop, and the first waterfall we encountered on the way. However, this waterfall is only about ten meters high, and our rope is completely sufficient.
However, in order to take care of Kong Sanye, we didn't simply throw the rope down and climb down the rope. Instead, he cut some branches of the same thickness in the surrounding woods, tied two ropes into a rope ladder, fastened them to the top tree with iron claws, and lowered the rope ladder.
After going down the rope ladder, it took a lot of effort for the big head and the big group to pull the iron claw out of the tree. It took a lot of effort to get down from it, but after looking at the sky, we decided to keep going.
After not taking a few steps, Kong Sanye grabbed the strong son who was walking forward and shouted loudly: "Come back, it's dangerous." "Just when I was looking at the third master of the sky with some confusion, there was no buzzing sound, very much like a mosquito in summer.
"It's a blood Gu worm, a hadron, fast, light a fire and smoke." Kong Sanye turned around and shouted at me. When I heard the words Blood Gu Worm, I was really startled.
Although we haven't seen the blood Gu worm yet, the sound that came from it is enough to make us tremble. Kong Sanye saw that I was still not moving, and shouted loudly, "Qiangzi, hurry up, light a fire and set off the smoke, so that you can buy us some time, hurry." ”
Datuan and I immediately went to the neighborhood to pick up some dry firewood and lit it, and then put a large pile of green leaves on top of the dry firewood, and before putting it on, the green leaves were specially soaked in water. But after a while, thick smoke billowed out.
Kong Sanye stood there, looked at the front with a serious face, and said loudly to us: "The smoke is not enough, go on, cough cough, hurry up, they have already come." ”
I turned around and followed Kong Sanye's line of sight to look forward, and found that a large group of small black dots flew densely towards this side in the distance.
The movements of the big head and the big group were much faster, and they went to the neighborhood to bring a lot of dry firewood, while I pulled out any weeds next to the stream and soaked them in the water, and Kong Sanye also came to help. Soon, the smoke here became thicker, and those blood Gu worms were also closer, flying overwhelmingly.
The smoke and the dense blood Gu worms came into close contact, and the blood Gu worms were a little unrecognizable in the thick smoke, flying everywhere. A few of them flew to our side occasionally, but they didn't fly to us immediately, and the liquid that looked at Kong Sanye still had a little effect.
"Qiangzi, big head, hurry up, what are you still doing in a daze." Kong Sanye saw that we were still continuing to add smoke over there, and shouted loudly at us.
Seeing that Kong Sanye had already picked up his backpack and walked down in the direction of the stream, and there were more and more blood Gu worms passing through the thick smoke, he was shocked, and hurriedly packed his things and rushed out, and walked down with Kong Sanye.
The blood Gu worms that passed through the smoke over there circled around the neighborhood and began to rush towards us again. The blood-red bug looked very ugly. A few of us don't have the heart to observe carefully now, we are all trying to run for our lives, if we take a few steps at night and are surrounded by these blood Gu worms, we won't be able to walk.
