Chapter 22: The Ghost Worm

No way!

Tofu burst into a foul mouth, and I was also startled, but I didn't hide, the concept of striking first was deeply rooted in my heart, and at the same time, I poked the shovel in my hand into the hole.

The thing was probably painful, and it disappeared all at once, as if it was hiding. But before I could make any other movements, the whole hull suddenly shook violently, as if it was dragged by a pair of big hands, and with a violent shaking, a slimy and blackened tentacle poked out of the black hole, and the thicker and thicker it went, causing the wood on the plank to crack and the hole to become larger.

The thing poked out violently, very quickly, and because I had gone down the shovel before, I was closest to the hole, and it was locked in first.

The thing didn't do anything, the tentacles poked out like lightning, straight to the position of my lower abdomen, I barely had time to react, I felt a chill in my abdomen, and suddenly remembered the female corpse next to me. It was probably the human stress response that played a role, and in this frightened and angry situation, I reacted quickly, rolled on the spot, and changed the original kneeling position to my back facing up.

At the same time, the tofu next to me also screamed and pounced, grabbed the tentacle with both hands, and immediately pulled it from me.

Thanks to the tacit understanding between the two of us for many years, I can only create an opportunity for Tofu to save me. He didn't disappoint me at this juncture, and after holding the thing, he jumped onto the bed, and immediately pressed the tentacle back against the bed, as if forcibly bending a person's waist. In this way, the tentacles were exposed, and I saw that there were countless suction cups underneath, like the tentacles of an octopus! But unlike the octopus I've seen before, this thing has a lot of needle-like hairs in its suction cups.

I instantly remembered a term: ghost worms

The ghost squid, also known as the vampire squid, is said to be the ancestor of the squid and the octopus, 100 million years ago to avoid the prey of the plesiosaur, migrated from the shallow sea to the deep sea, its form has not changed for hundreds of millions of years, known as the living fossil of marine life, was discovered by marine scientists more than 100 years ago. They are generally only about 30 centimeters in size, resembling jellyfish and squid, and their most distinctive feature is the 'vascular hairs' in the suckers.

Those hairs that are hidden in the suction cups and look like steel needles are actually suction vessels. The prey it is targeting, these veins will penetrate into the softest place to suck the other party's blood.

This ghost crab lives in the deep sea, is rarely seen, and is not that big.

I looked at the countless vascular hairs under the suction cup, and suddenly felt my scalp tingle, and immediately shouted, "Tofu, let go!" It was too late, and as soon as Tofu went to bed with the thing, the vascular hairs in the suction cup poked out, like twisting a twist, and went up Tofu's arm.

Tofu hurriedly wanted to shake off the tentacle, but although the hand was loose, the capillaries wrapped around him did not let go at all and went straight to his neck. I've read about ghost crabs, because I used to sell fish in Shenzhen, and I often deal with fishmongers on the beach, so I'm familiar with all kinds of sea legends and sea creatures.

This ghost crab belongs to a sea creature with little blood, and in addition to the blood in the main part, there is very little blood in the tentacle part, so the nerves such as pain are also degraded severely, and they are not very afraid of pain, so it is useless to deal with it. Although I knew about this stubble, I couldn't think of any other way in my desperation but to pick up the horseshoe-shaped probe shovel and prepare to cut its tentacles again.

Who knew that this time, because there were more parts of the tentacles, the thicker the flesh, the stronger the flesh, and after two slashes, only two cracks were cut, which had no effect on the ghost moth. On the other hand, the tofu was entangled in those vascular hairs, like maggots on the tarsal bones that could not break free, and in a hurry, they could only shrink their necks and pull those vascular hairs with another hand that had not yet been bound.

I wanted to shovel the weaker tip, but the position of the tip was firmly attached to Tofu's arm, and if I cut it, I couldn't control the force, and even Tofu's hand would be cut off, not to mention how anxious I was for a while. In an instant, the thing had reached the neck, the tofu tried to shrink his neck, those thin and soft vascular hairs tried hard to drill into the shrunken neck, the feeling of squirming was particularly itchy on the sensitive neck, and the tofu shrunk and laughed, but the smile was ugly: "Haha...... It's itchy, help. ”

In a hurry, I couldn't care so much, so I rushed up and pulled those capillaries with my hands, which were full of elasticity, and when they were hidden between the suction cups, they looked like only about ten centimeters, but they were like rubber bands between them, and they couldn't be pulled anymore. My heart moved, and I violently upside down the probe shovel, so that its sharp head was facing upward, pulling the capillaries to the edges, and all of them were broken in an instant, and black blood suddenly gushed out of the capillaries.

These vascular hairs seemed to have pain nerves, and the severed parts suddenly retracted, and in an instant, the tofu was released, and the whole huge tentacle swayed. This time the force was not light, and the tofu was swept directly from the left bed to the right bed, and the bed in the lounge also let out a thudding sound, as if something was about to rush out.

I don't know in my heart, the ghost worm has been provoked.

Seventy percent of the body of this thing is painless, and the attack speed is fast, people really can't do anything about it, if this really meets its body, all the tentacles will follow, just me and Tofu, where can I deal with it. So I quickly dragged up the tofu that had been hit on the bed, opened the door and ran out, saying, "I'm afraid that thing is going to crash into the cabin, we can't deal with it, so hurry back to the ship." ”

When Tofu is playing tricks on weekdays, he can say anything poisonous words, but his heart is actually very kind, and he was shocked when he heard it, and said, "Let's not save Tang Jiangze and them?" I said, "You scolded and kicked him before, but now you can take care of him!" ”

Tofu panted and said, "No, we can't throw them away!" ”

I said as I ran: "The bald four have guns in their hands, there are many of them, and they are by no means weaker than us, if we can escape, they will definitely be able to escape, if they are already dead, wouldn't we be sent to death if we stay here?" As for Tang Jiangze, depending on his own life, Lao Tzu is not a superman who saves the world, is it to save him, put his own life on the line? Tofu has such a good consciousness, but I don't have it, so I added: "Have you forgotten that Jì was in the corpse raising bureau to save Feng Ghost's hand?" ”

Tofu said: "Feng Ghost Hand was originally a scourge, and I was unlucky that time, but Tang Jiangze is not a bad person!" ”

I said, "Go ***, what a good guy or a bad guy." I sue you, it's not easy to make innocent money in this world, and all the money you make is not innocent, and your identity as a financial tyrant fell from the sky! "We ran as we talked, and in an instant we reached the top of the stairs, and when we climbed up the stairs we were to the command room, and outside the command room was the deck, and it would be safe then. We were only halfway up the stairs, and from the entrance above, a huge head suddenly poked out, which was translucent, and the skin was black and red.

I remember that the ghost crab has a luminous device on its head, which is characteristic of deep-sea fish, because the deep sea is pitch black, and over the years, many fish in the deep sea have evolved natural luminescents. Tofu and I stared at the big glowing head and stopped abruptly.

There's more than one of them. Damn, how did these things in the deep sea get on the ship?

The thing had a pair of huge white eyes, almost no pupils in them, apparently the eyesight had long since deteriorated, and I don't know what kind of sensing animal it was, blocking the entrance, and the two tentacles immediately came towards me and Tofu.

Tofu didn't have time to care about Tang Jiangze's problem anymore at this time, his mouth couldn't close in shock, he screamed**, turned around and ran back. As we ran back, the ghost worm in the lounge had already reached out half of its body, and a few tentacles were on the ground, blocking our way.

The front and back are pinched, there is really no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to enter the ground.

In a hurry, I saw the empty material room opposite, and hurriedly said to Tofu: "Quick, jump over and hide in the material room!" "It's a big place, and even if we try hard, we can spread our hands and feet, and if we are stuck in this narrow aisle, we won't even have a chance to resist.

Tofu said, "Jump? It's more than five meters, and I can't jump over it! ”

I said, "If you can't jump, you're dead, and do you want to end your life as a little virgin!" You jump, I'll cushion behind. Tofu also knew that the situation was urgent, and he gestured a few times, and finally gritted his teeth, as if he was going to die, a runner jumped up, and his body soared forward and rushed forward, who knew that the tentacle in the middle of the road suddenly stretched out towards him.

I had already prepared, picked up the probe shovel and slapped it over, and the tentacles were deflected, and in an instant all three tentacles rushed towards me, Tofu took this opportunity to cross the aisle, rushed to the spacious material room, turned his head and saw that I was trapped, and was shocked to run back. In an emergency, I could only shout: "Leave me alone!" ”

The tentacles are menacing, the gun is not used at all, fortunately the tofu carries the probe shovel, I can only round it at the moment, dancing tiger and tiger, blocking the approach of the tentacles, these tentacles are very powerful, my arms have felt sore and weak in a few strokes, they are too thick, waving to block my vision, I can't know the condition of the tofu.

And in the midst of the confusion, I heard a sizzling sound behind me, as if something slimy was crawling on the ground, and I knew in my heart that the thing at the entrance had come down and was crawling towards me.

It's over!

What to do?

I'm dead, Tofu can't escape alone, how sad Wen Min should be.

I used to be alone, and I was never a person who was afraid of death, anyway, no one was sad for me when I died, and there was no one in this world that I needed to take care of, so I did everything I could, regardless of the consequences. But now, at this juncture, I suddenly have a lot of memories.
