Chapter 39: Hold your breath
At this time, I don't know when, Wenmo lit two torches and rushed towards me with them. Lantern Xiao stretched out his hand to take one and worked with Wenmo to disperse these mosquitoes.
Fire, there is still a certain deterrent effect on this insect, and the scorching torch temporarily disperses the nearby mosquito swarm. I took the opportunity to pull the yellow fur out.
But when I saw Huang Mao's condition, my heart suddenly felt cold, at this time, Huang Mao's legs had become full of holes, his stomach was pierced, his clothes were stained red with blood, and he couldn't survive.
Huang Mao grabbed my hand tightly, with a desire for life in his eyes, I could see that he was unwilling, but I couldn't do anything. At this time, a gunshot rang out, and there was a bloody hole on Huang Mao's head, and the blood that spurted out splashed my face, and his eyes were still open, and the person was completely lifeless.
I turned my head to look and found that it was Tian Laosi who didn't know when he came back, and the gun in his hand had not been put down, and a wisp of green smoke slowly floated out of the muzzle.
Watching Huang Mao's death, my heart was blocked for a while, and I suddenly stood up and yelled at Tian Laosi: "What are you doing!" He's not dead yet! ”
Tian Laosi didn't speak, just looked at me, and then turned to leave.
I still wanted to rush over to theorize, but I was pulled by Lantern Xiao, "Forget it, forget it!" Let's go!! ”
At this time, Tian Laosi suddenly turned around again and said to our heads: "There should be a river ahead, if you can rush there, you can live!" ”
Lantern Xiao waved the torch in his hand vigorously, "Okay, got it!" After speaking, he pulled me hard, "Okay, calm down, you don't want to stay with him for the funeral!" ”
I calmed down a bit, nodded my head, and ran forward with Lantern and Anado. However, after running for a while, I found that Wenmo did not follow, so I immediately stopped and turned my head to look over. Although I have confidence in Wenmo's skills, several people have already died, and in this case, I am still very worried, and I really don't want the next one to appear.
I saw Wenmo behind us, and while retreating unhurriedly, I took out a small bottle from my bag, and then put it to my mouth and took a sip. I wondered in my heart, Wenmo didn't forget to drink saliva at this time, he was really bold, so calm. However, the bottle is not big, and Wenmo only took a sip, is it wine? But I've never seen Wenmo drink, and I believe that Wenmo can't do such an unreliable thing at this time.
Just when I was confused, Wenmo took out a lighter and pointed it at the mosquito swarm, and then Wenmo spit out what he had just drunk in his mouth. Then an astonishing scene happened, and what Wenmo spewed out was instantly ignited by a lighter. A huge flame erupted into the mosquito swarm.
The mosquito's wings were extremely fragile, and the flames were scorched with the slightest fire, and there was a crackling explosion in the black cloud of mosquitoes. I even smelled a smell of toasted paste.
This scene made my jaw almost fall to the ground in shock, although I have also seen this kind of fire-breathing performance on TV, but I didn't expect that this skill can be used for inverted adventures!
I was stunned, I forgot to run away, and it wasn't until Wenmo finished spraying and pulled me back that I woke up, turned around and ran forward desperately after Wenmo. Looking at Wenmo's back, I couldn't help but ask loudly, "Boss, have you really been in the circus before?" ”
Wen Mo was very effective this time, greatly blocking the speed of the giant mosquito swarm. Soon we caught up with the Yuan family's team, and while I ran, I asked Tian Laosi: "Lao Tian, where is that river?" ”
Tian Laosi replied while helping Yuan An run: "It should be in front!" Although Yuan An's physical strength was very good at this time, he still looked a little struggling at this time, and his face was pale, after all, his age was there.
"Should??" Lantern Festival on the side, after listening to Tian Laosi's words, shouted, "Lao Tian, do you have a score or not?" The big mosquitoes in the back are going to catch up again! ”
Tian Laosi looked left and right, and shouted loudly: "Ruan Liang!! Ruan Liang!! Where is Ruan Liang? ”
At this time, a dark and thin middle-aged man ran over, "I'm here!" ”
Tian Laosi said: "You just said that there is a river in front, where is the river?" ”
Ruan Liang looked at the surrounding trees and touched the ground again, then pointed in a direction ahead and said, "It should be in front, and it will be there soon!" ”
Tian Laosi nodded, "I believe you this time, if you can't find it, Lao Tzu will kill you before he is bitten to death by mosquitoes!" After speaking, he turned to us and said, "This Nguyen Liang has lived in the Vietnamese rainforest for more than ten years, and he has extremely rich experience in the jungle. ”
So that's the case, at this time, we can only hope that this Ruan Liang is not in vain, we have not stopped, and ran forward for a few more minutes, and suddenly, I heard the sound of water in front.
I couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "There's water!" It's just ahead!! ”
Adult mosquitoes are afraid of water, and they can temporarily stop themselves by jumping into the river. Seeing that hope was just around the corner, everyone did their best. As we walked around a tall tree, a river about twenty meters wide appeared in front of us.
Yuan An waved his hand, motioned for everyone to stop, and then said: "Everyone, unload the equipment and throw it by the river, and then quickly enter the water to dodge!" ”
It also makes sense to do this, as those mosquitoes are not going to attack the equipment. Leaving the equipment behind not only allows us to travel lightly, but also protects the equipment from water damage, so that subsequent operations can continue.
All of us began to unload our gear, and as I unpacked my backpack and glanced behind me, I was immediately startled by what was happening, and a large black cloud had flown out of the bushes and swooped down on us.
The reason for the trees in the woods just now, I didn't see how big this black cloud was, and now when I got to the open space by the river, I was horrified to find that this black cloud was so big that it could be described as covering the sky and the sun, I couldn't imagine where such a large number of giant mosquitoes usually hid, they could be called the overlord level in this forest, I don't know if there is anything that can be regarded as their natural enemy.
However, the current situation did not allow me to be cranky anymore, so I threw down my backpack, turned around and jumped into the river.
As soon as everyone jumped into the river, they immediately dived. I don't dare to slack off.
I held my breath and looked at the situation above the surface of the water from underwater, and I saw that the originally bright water surface suddenly became dark. I knew it was the giant mosquitoes that pounced.
I felt a chill down my back, and I wondered if everyone had escaped this time, or if anyone had suffered. I looked around underwater. I hope to find the traces of Wenmo and Lantern Festival, fortunately, the water of this river is still quite clear, and I saw a few familiar figures in the underwater figures, so I was relieved.
Although the river here is not too wide, the water is very deep and the current is very fast, but fortunately there are many reefs in the river, and we can each use these to stabilize our bodies.
I looked up at the blackness on the water, and it didn't go away, but I was about to reach the limit of how long I could hold my breath underwater. I felt like my face had turned white to red, and now I think it must have turned purple.
Gradually, I couldn't hold on anymore, so I swam up desperately.
The moment I burst out of the water, I saw countless giant mosquitoes still hovering in the air. I hurriedly put my hands in front of my face, for fear of being attacked by the mosquitoes. I took a few big breaths.
In the meantime, amid the sound of rushing water and the buzzing of wings, I seemed to hear a few screams. Since I also had water in my ears, I couldn't really hear it at this time, and everything seemed so unreal. But the blood stains floating in the river still let me know that these were not my delusions.
At this time, the time for which the people in the water held their breath was almost at their limit, and people continued to float up from under the water. The giant mosquitoes that had been hovering over the surface of the water were restless again.
At this time, a person came out next to me, and I was taken aback, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was the Lantern Festival.
As soon as the Lantern Festival came out of the water, he gasped for breath. Then he waved the short knife in his hand to drive away the giant mosquito on his head, but before he moved twice, he screamed, I looked closely, and found that several giant mosquitoes had bitten him on the shoulder, fortunately he protected his neck and face in time, otherwise it would be dangerous.
I hurriedly stepped forward to help him knock out the mosquitoes on his body, but he received a few more blows on the head, and although the mouthparts of the mosquitoes were not hard enough to pierce the skull, the scalp was immediately punctured.
The incident of less than half a minute after the Lantern Festival just surfaced had already made his head and shoulders full of blood.
Lantern Xiao screamed in pain, and then looked at me in surprise, but before she could speak, she dived into the water again.
I knew what he was surprised about, and to be honest, I wondered if the mosquitoes were completely blind to me. Not a single mosquito attacked me. Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind me, and I quickly turned my head to look, and sure enough, I saw Anado floating on the water not far away, and her back and shoulder had been stabbed by several mosquitoes, and the blood had stained the surrounding river red.
I immediately swam over to help Anador fend off the mosquitoes. At this time, Anado's face was in pain, and she couldn't tell whether it was the river or the tears or the sweat on her face.
At this time, I suddenly said that someone was pulling his own foot under the water, not only me, but Anado next to me was also startled, and looked at me nervously, it seems that she also encountered the same situation, we haven't reacted yet, but we still subconsciously took a deep breath, and then, I was pulled into the water suddenly.
