Chapter 44: An Unexpected Reunion
I said, "If you want to live, listen to me." "Zhen Rui knows the habits of the corpse nest worm, this insect is not easy to kill, but one habit is to be afraid of heat. Although there is no fire under this big tripod, there is white gas at the top, and eighty percent of it is a tripod. Sure enough, as soon as we approached Nading, we felt a wave of heat.
The surface of the round tripod poured out a lot of protruding ghost shapes, it is very easy to climb, everyone approached the big ding, two or three steps off the ground, and then looked down, the corpse nest insect really did not dare to approach the big ding, only surrounded us around.
Gu Wenmin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to have it." ”
Zhen Ji shook his hair, the tips of his hair were full of sweat, and he panted and said, "Why is this Ding heating up by itself, could it be that there is coal in it?" ”
At this time, our group of people was like a pancake around the big ding, and it was very uncomfortable to go up or down, so I said: "Climb up first, let's talk about whether you put coal or not, go up and see if you know." It didn't matter if everyone was hanging in the air like this, and immediately began to climb up in three or two steps, and they reached the top of the big ding.
It is very heavy, has no lid, and has ears on all sides. This four-eared tripod shape is the first time I have seen it, because the tripod is relatively thick, so after climbing up, everyone will sit on the edge of the tripod. At this time, it was close, we looked at the ding, wanted to see what was the mystery in it, who knew at a glance, only to see the white mist, in the giant ding, is a pot of boiling yellow soup, as if it was burned by the fire, gurgling and tumbling blisters.
This is strange, there is no fire under the ding, how is this big tripod heated? What is this dingzhong cooking?
Everyone was amazed, and they couldn't say why for a while, Tofu didn't have much interest in it, looked down, and said, "It's over, these corpse nest insects seem to be very interested in a few of us, what should we do?" "I looked down, and sure enough, those corpse nests and insects surrounded the Ding, and once we went to the ground, these things would definitely pounce on us.
Fortunately, we can free up our hands at this time, and we will not be afraid of them, because among the equipment that Zhen Rui carried, there were modified high-pressure muskets, and when they strafed, these things immediately burned to the ground, and there was not even a single slag left. Needless to say, Zhong Gong had already taken out the musket from his equipment bag and pushed the gas bomb under the musket into it, and then the muzzle of the freshly made gun sprayed out a straight tongue of fire.
There is also a switch that can be adjusted under the musket, Zhong Gong immediately adjusted the switch to the maximum, and in an instant, the tongue of fire sprayed out, five or six meters, a heat wave forced people, and the corpse nest insects below were suddenly burned into a piece, not even a sound was made, after a circle of strafing, except for some escaped fish that slipped through the net, the original ground, not even the slag remained.
Zhong Gong turned off the musket, clapped his hands, and said, "It's solved." ”
Tofu looked very admiring and said to me, "Good fellow, this weapon is more effective than pesticides, if we can get one in the future, then the safety factor will be greatly improved." "This kind of musket that can be carried with you and filled with gas bombs is a military device, and the general army does not have it, and what Zhen Rui carries is also a smuggled high imitation on the underworld, because the demand is relatively small, so most of the time it is priceless, and it is not so easy to get it.
Thinking of this, I can't help but recall the top-level equipment carried by the dumb people, which is not a folk handiwork at first glance, and I don't know where the dumb man went after taking the ** seal.
At this time, the corpse nest insect was also dealt with, we sat on the edge of the ding, the heat rushed straight to the body, not very comfortable, when even if we planned to go down, who knew that at this moment, in the distance of the foggy clearing, suddenly appeared a black shadow, I don't know what it was. Zhen Rui immediately gestured at us, signaling to turn off the light source. In an instant, the headlamps were turned off, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, under this darkness, I thought that I would not be able to see anything, but at this moment, above the clearing, countless phosphorus fires actually rose flutteringly!
Phosphorus fire, also known as ghost fire, is often found in cemeteries, and it is said that because a large number of dead people gather in the cemetery, and a large amount of phosphorus is produced after the decomposition of human bones, so phosphorus fires are sometimes formed. The color of phosphorus fire is also different, some are cyan, some are blue, and some are rare purple, and the common people in the past did not know about it, and thought it was ghost fire.
At this moment, due to the ghost fire floating in the air, flickering and dimming, even if we turned off the headlamp, the surrounding environment did not fall into darkness, we were shocked, and our hearts said how could so many ghost fires suddenly appear? Could it be that there are so many dead people in this place? Before we could react, we saw the dark shadow in the distance getting closer and closer, and in a dark green glow, we gradually saw the thing.
When Tofu saw it, he took a sharp breath and said, "It's Xiao Jing." ”
I saw that the black shadow was Xiao Jing, but she didn't come over, but as if she was transported by something, the whole person was lying flat and coming to us, her body was about a meter from the ground, and under her body, a bunch of black things could be vaguely seen, and she herself was unconscious.
I was horrified, and said that Xiao Jing was not swallowed by a poisonous snake? That's a good thing, of course, but is she dead or alive now? What brought her here? What was that black mass beneath her body?
These thoughts flashed quickly in my mind, and after a while, I saw Xiao Jing, who was in a coma, gradually getting closer and closer to us, and it was impressively coming towards the direction where we were, to be exact, it was more like coming to this big ding.
Tofu was right next to me, and he didn't dare to come out, so he whispered to me, "What now?" ”
My mind was in a hurry, although I really wanted to go down to find out, but experience told me that at this time, it is better not to act recklessly, and I must first observe clearly what is under Xiao Jing's body. So I gestured to the crowd and signaled not to act rashly, but to wait and see.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, Xiao Jing's hand suddenly moved, and then, the whole person began to move, struggling with her hands and feet, and the things under her, with her movements, immediately rushed out, at this time we saw that what was originally supporting Xiao Jing to move was actually four monkey-like animals.
The thing was covered in black hair, about a meter high, and her hand was hanging down to the ground, Xiao Jing was obviously still alive, and as soon as the four things dispersed, she immediately wanted to get up, and she was in a hurry, obviously trying to run for her life. At this time, I couldn't care about it, shouted Xiao Jing's name, and saw Xiao Jing turn around, and suddenly saw us, a trace of surprise flashed on her face, tears came out, and she turned around and ran towards us.
I immediately beckoned Tofu and the others to go down to save people, while Zhong Gong and Gu Wenmin stayed on the tripod, because the two of them were the most accurate in the team, and they were in a high place to press the formation, so if there was an emergency, it would be good to take care of it in time. The rest of us got off the ground in three or two steps and rushed towards Xiao Jing, and the four furry things were obviously frightened when they saw that so many people appeared in our sudden appearance, and instead of starting a fierce battle as we thought, they scattered and ran away, and their bodies were extremely fast, and they quickly disappeared into the thick fog.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and before I could come back to my senses, Xiao Jing rushed into my arms at once, hugging me and not letting go. This has to be put on hold in normal times, and the tofu next to him, as a diehard faction of Gu Da Beauty, must be stopped, and he just touched his nose at this time, probably because of the previous matter, so he kept silent.
I felt that the body of the person in my arms was trembling all the time, although I no longer had a relationship between men and women for Xiao Jing, but thinking of her as a woman, following me here, and encountering a series of things before, I was really wronged, so I didn't push the person away, patted her shoulder, and said, "Okay, safe, thank God you're still alive." ”
Xiao Jingqing calmed down, wiped her tears, and said, "Why are you here?" She looked around again and said, "Where is this?" ”
Tofu Qi said: "You don't know what kind of place this is?" ”
Xiao Jing shook her head.
Tofu then asked, "How did you get rid of that poisonous snake?" "That's to the point, we are all very strange, how did she, a weak woman, survive in that environment at that time?
After we finished speaking, we saw Xiao Jing at a loss, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I kept running, and finally I was rolled up by it." It was so powerful that I fainted, and when I woke up it was in an open field, and there was fog everywhere, and I couldn't see any buildings, and there was no one, and I, and I thought I was dead. ”
No buildings, no people, only foggy clearings? Isn't this the place now? Did the serpent put her here?
Tofu also apparently felt strange, touched his chin, and said, "And then?" ”
According to Xiao Jing's description, after she woke up, she even thought she was dead, she was afraid in her heart, she was wandering around in this place alone, and soon, the power of the headlamp became very weak, and at the moment when the light went out, she was thrown down from behind by something, only to feel a numb back of her neck, and then fainted again. When I woke up, just now, I found that I was being carried by something, so I struggled.
It was strange to hear her description, and if she was telling the truth, wouldn't that poisonous snake walk the same path as us? In that case, why haven't we met it?
Zhen Rui thought for a while, raised her chin and motioned to Xiao Jing and said, "We have been delayed for a long time in Chen Siyuan's place of residence, and the poisonous snake's ability to move is faster than ours, so she should have arrived at this place a long time earlier." ”
Tofu shuddered and said, "Could that poisonous snake still roam this place?" ”
Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Probably not, I've been in this place for a long time, and I haven't touched it, this place is very big." I nodded, in the map drawn by my grandfather, the second house is circular, like a cannon muzzle, and the hollow area in the middle covers a very large area, and he drew an S shape, so Xiao Jing's words should be true.
In this way, the poisonous snake's behavior is very strange, caught Xiao Jing, why don't you eat it?
