Guigu Wormhole Chapter 18 Red-headed Babu
I asked the fourth master what happened, why he abandoned me, and how the scholar and Lao Xu became like this.
The fourth master said that at that time, the four of us lit a fire, and after eating, we discussed whether this was a cemetery or a sacrificial place, and slowly found that I was asleep. Later, the scholar said that he wanted to go for convenience, and then turned and walked to the back corner. For some reason, the scholar suddenly screamed, and then disappeared. The fourth master and Lao Xu didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly chased after them. It wasn't until we caught up to where we are now that we saw the scholars. At that time, the scholar was tied by a silk thread and was dragged by something on the ground.
The fourth master and Lao Xu hurriedly shone a flashlight, and saw a huge red-headed and black-backed spider pulling the filament. The spider was so big that it was unbelievable, its body was about more than a meter long, and the eight legs were even more terrifying. The red-headed spider found the fourth master and Lao Xu, and suddenly put down the scholar and turned to attack the two. The red-headed spider suddenly shot out a stream of liquid from under its abdomen, like a fountain, as fast as lightning towards the fourth master and Lao Xu. Even if it is the skill of the fourth master, it is enough to dodge this blow. Lao Xu was naturally unable to parry, and was hit by the liquid all of a sudden. The liquid instantly turned solid and stuck to Lao Xu like a ribbon.
Lao Xu is very tall and his strength is not bad, but he is not the opponent of this big spider at all, and his overwhelming strength makes Lao Xu also dragged over like a scholar. The fourth master wanted to save people, but at some point a red-headed spider crawled out of the back, this spider was smaller than the previous one, but it was faster, and kept attacking the fourth master. The fourth master kept wrestling with it with the sword in his hand, and he had no time to look around, so he could only watch as the red-headed spider kept squirting out mucus to tie the scholar and Lao Xu into mummies and hang them on the roof of the cave.
The fourth master was very anxious, first, he was worried about the safety of the scholar and Lao Xu, and secondly, he was worried that the previous one would also join the battle for a while. A big spider has already made the fourth master busy, and the two of them came over, and the fourth master was also very lucky. The fourth master had no choice but to fight and retreat, leading the red-headed spider to another place.
I asked the fourth master how he got out and where the two big spiders went.
The fourth master shook his head and said that the later one was killed by him, and the red-headed spider before did not join the battle, but disappeared into the darkness and disappeared nowhere.
Lao Xu and the scholars basically recovered. Under the leadership of the fourth master, we went to see the corpse of the red-headed and black-backed spider. Lao Xu looked at it and kept taking pictures with his mobile phone, which was amazing. "The largest spider ever recorded in the world was a bird-eating spider, no more than 30 centimeters in size," he said. A spider of this size is about to break records again. I think it should belong to a special branch of ancient spiders. It seems that the cave has a complete set of closed ecosystems, which allow various plants and animals to reproduce and evolve independently. This spider is huge and extremely aggressive, and some resemble the Hercules Giant Babu, so he is called the Red-headed Babu. ”
The scholar said: "It doesn't matter what kind of giant Babu or red-headed Babu it is, the girl wrapped the Sprinkler family like a mummy, and almost suffocated me." If I hadn't vaguely heard Xia Nan calling my name before I fell unconscious, I really wouldn't have survived this time. ”
It occurred to me that there seemed to be several similar "mummies" at the top of the cave, and I urged the three of them to go over and check them out. The fourth master still used the trick "Little Dragon Flying Knife" very chicly, but the mummy that fell this time really made us regret making this decision.
The mummy fell, and the fourth master still picked up the spider silk with a soft sword, and when he opened it, we almost vomited together. I saw a person with only a layer of skin bound inside, his clothes were already tattered and he couldn't see what material he was, his facial features were distorted, and he must have suffered great pain before he died.
The fourth master said that these are people who came in a long, long time ago, maybe they came by tomb robbers, maybe they came by mistake like us, at least they came to the current position. It must have been attacked by this red-headed spider, which captured people, wrapped them in spider silk, and hung them on the roof of the cave, presumably to wait for hunger to come and eat. These people were not as lucky as we did, and they were all poisoned.
Lao Xu wiped his glasses, took a closer look, and said, "These people were not eaten by adult babes, you see that the corpse is full of holes on the skin, small but dense. I don't think the adult bab attacked us for our own enjoyment, but tied people as prey with spider silk and hung on the roof of the cave for their offspring to eat. It is likely that the spider eggs are laid somewhere on the roof of this cave, and after the little bab breaks out of the shell, he will follow the spider silk to crawl to the prey, and then inject the digestive juice into the prey, and then wait for the internal organs of the prey to be melted into liquid by the digestive juice, and then suck it to obtain nutrients. ”
After hearing this, the scholar was so frightened that his eyes straightened, wiped his sweat vigorously, and said, "Damn, I'm scared to death." These beasts, when they see them again, must be broken into pieces, except for these scourges! ”。
I don't know why this corpse came here before it was born, but since I met it, I did a good deed. We took down all the figurines hanging from the roof of the cave, and then set fire to the corpses, and buried the bones that could not be burned with some stones. The fourth master also recited a Taoist scripture in a low voice, which was simply overrun, and it can be regarded as the end of our encounter.
Although the fourth master slaughtered a red-headed Babu, God knows how many there are here, not to mention that at least one of the red-headed Babu who attacked the scholar and Lao Xu is missing, we should not stay for a long time, buried those bones, and everyone hurried back to the fire. The fire was almost extinguished, and the scholar and Lao Xu packed up their loose backpacks, and then everyone decided to continue walking.
Passing through the hall where scholars and Lao Xu were attacked, the road became narrower and narrower, and I don't know if the designer did it intentionally or because it was built with the help of natural karst caves in order to save manpower and material resources and did not continue to widen this corridor. We don't know how big this place is, maybe the whole mountain turns around and goes in all directions. Lao Xu said that although such a place looks like it is only in a small mountain, it is actually the same as a person's small intestine, and it looks like a small place in the stomach, but it is piled up with twists and turns, and if it is straightened, the total length is about seven or eight meters. Therefore, it is not known how long it will take, in order to save the battery, we just have the fourth master open a tactical flashlight in front of the road.
I calculated that thirteen or four hours had passed since I entered the cave, and it was already night in the outside world. At this time, if you don't work overtime in the company to adjust bugs and write programs, you basically play a few games of dota in your residence, or make an appointment with three or five friends to find a tavern to eat and drink, and brag and fart. At that time, I always felt that life was boring and dull. Now in this ghost place, blindly looking for an exit, I feel that it is still that kind of ordinary life that makes people live comfortably. People are like this, they don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness, and they always feel that they are living elsewhere, trying in vain to break everything they have and find something else wonderful. As everyone knows, what you often have now is the most exciting, most suitable for your own life, this mountain looks at the mountain high, and you may find that it is not the destination you want.
We walked a long way in this slightly narrow corridor, taking two breaks in between. The scholar was stimulated to the depths of his soul by the red-headed Babu, and kept urging everyone to get up and continue to hurry, to give full play to the fine tradition of running with two feet over the wheels during the Anti-Japanese War, and make persistent efforts to move forward bravely. The door of victory is open for us.
Everyone is tense, clenched their teeth to support, and there is someone cheering on the side, which can indeed stimulate people's subjective initiative, and everyone walks quickly. After about an hour, we finally reached the end of the hallway, but everyone was silent...... Because there's a wall at the end! That's right, we rushed up like crazy, flashlights on, non-stop clapping with our hands, the feedback felt clearly high-speed us, this is indeed a wall, a wall cut by very thick stone.
"Fuck! It's not scientific!" The scholar roared.
Everyone was a little devastated, and the smell of despair was in the air. It's like a group of lost people in the desert, the sun is scorching, hunger and thirst are over, they see an oasis in the distance, and they try their best to walk through it, only to find that it is a mirage, and this blow may crush these people who are on the verge of collapse. We are exactly like this, this road has not been smooth, and we finally came here, but we found that it was a dead end.
"Don't panic, everyone, there should be a way out" Lao Xu took a sip of water, and then said: "Whether this place is used for burials or sacrifices, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the owner of this place must have had detailed exploration and planning, and it is impossible to dig the cave here and end it." And you see this wall, it's obvious that it's cut from a single piece of stone, and the cut is smooth and flat. It can be seen that this wall was not used to seal the road indiscriminately, but should have been carefully crafted. So, the master here has gone to great lengths to set up various mechanisms and secret passages in order to play a prank on people? I don't think there will be something wrong with this stone wall. ”
Lao Xu is worthy of being an archaeologist, thoughtful and clear-minded, as if we have found a water source in the desperate desert. The scholar and I slowly calmed down. And the fourth master didn't panic with us at all, he kept touching the stone wall little by little with his hands.
It seems that this fourth master is not simple, and he actually thought of a place with Lao Xu, he was obviously looking for a mechanism to open this stone wall. Since one can write and the other can martial arts, the scholar and I had to take out compressed biscuits, sit behind and eat while watching the fourth master and Lao Xu work on the stone wall. Capable people work hard, not to mention that this corridor is not enough to accommodate four people standing side by side. Just when the scholar and I were eating biscuits and wandering, the situation suddenly changed, and the danger was full of dangers...
