Hearing Shi Tao's shout, I looked back and forth, smiled bitterly, and said in my heart that I just want to go, and I have to go!

These beetles seem to have a certain population consciousness, and after we have killed a lot of beetles, the other beetles seem to be angry, they vibrate their wings and make a "snort" sound, as if they are protesting something, and they are impacting more violently.

In the face of the attack of these beetles, the three of us tried our best to resist them, and our bodies were fiercely bitten by the beetles that pounced on us several times. Fortunately, this section of the passage we are in, with a stone wall on one side and water on the other, the range that beetles can attack is limited, if the area is large enough, these beetles will surround it, and the three of us are estimated to be corpses now!

I shouted, "Holy! What to do! I can't stand it! ”

Shi Tao responded loudly, "You hold on first, wait for me!" With that, Shi Tao took off his clothes and poured all the alcohol left over from making torches on his clothes. Then light it with a lighter.

The flames rose suddenly, and Shi Tao wrapped the burning clothes around the sapper shovel and slammed at the beetles on the ground. These beetles seemed to be very afraid of the flames, and some of the beetles in front of them significantly weakened their attacking posture and even began to retreat to avoid the flames. But there were too many of them, and the beetles in the back kept rushing forward, colliding with the beetles in front, and some of them even crawled onto the bodies of other beetles.

In this way, the beetles in front of us were stacked higher and higher, and even a small beetle wall was formed in front of us. Wherever the burning sapper shovel in Shi Tao's hand went, a part of the human-faced beetles were ignited, and soon there was a "crackling" sound from the pile of insects, and some of the beetles were scorched at once, and slowly a scorching fragrance wafted over.

Maybe it's because I'm hungry, I think it tastes good, and I even wonder what these insects taste like when they're cooked, which really fulfills the old saying, humans are born to eat. At this time, I actually remembered this!

Shi Tao's way of lighting the fire worked, which allowed us to breathe a little relief, but this was not a long-term solution, the fire on Shi Tao's sapper shovel had obviously begun to weaken, once the fire sank to the bottom and extinguished, we would face a more ferocious attack, and at that time, we would be afraid that we would be more than lucky!

Just then, I suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the water on one side. I turned my head and saw that there was a mouth on the surface of the water devouring something, and something under the water seemed to be eating the beetles that had been squeezed down by the other beetles, or that we had thrown into the water.

These beetles seem to have a fatal attraction to the things in the water, it devours greedily, and eats quickly, after eating those in the water, simply approaching the edge of the passage, waiting for more beetles to fall into the water, like a puppy waiting for its owner to feed!

We were stunned for a moment, I'll go! What is the situation! We didn't expect such a thing to happen, although we couldn't see what kind of thing was inside the clear water, but judging from its closed mouth, it was a big guy! And it's a big guy who loves beetles!

The guy leaned to the side, eating the beetle that fell into the water at any time, and made a "purr" sound from time to time.

And I was surprised to find that the pressure of the attack we faced was a little less, and after a closer look, I realized that the attention of the beetles close to the water surface was shifted to the guy in the water, although the beetles did not dare to enter the water, but they showed anger at the behavior of the guy in the water eating a lot of their own kind, they gathered at the water's edge and looked at the things in the water, spreading their wings and making a strong "snort" sound.

No way! Someone to help pull hatred! The addition of a third-party force has disturbed the situation just now, and an idea suddenly popped into my mind, can we take advantage of this sudden unexpected situation to find a way out.

I said to Shi Tao next to me: "Brother Tao, let's keep sweeping these beetles into the water, so that the attention of both the beetles and the monsters in the water is involved!" Let's find a chance to swim through the water! ”

Shi Tao frowned, "But we don't know how big this water is, if the monsters in the water give up these beetles before we go ashore, then we will be more dangerous, right?" ”

I shook my head, "Wen Mo has not come back since he passed, which shows that there is a way out ahead, this water area is not as big as we imagined, and the passage on the opposite side should not be far!" In fact, when I said these words, I was not sure of myself, these are my speculations and imaginations out of thin air. But now, as long as there is the slightest possibility, we must try, otherwise, staying here is a dead end!

Listening to my words, Shi Tao nodded, "Okay! So the two of us tried our best to sweep as many beetles in front of us into the water as we could. After all this time, I was almost exhausted, but I knew I had to grit my teeth and persevere.

After all, a bug is a bug, a monster is a monster after all, and if you fight for intelligence and strategy, that's still far from it! And what we're really dealing with isn't these monsters, it's the people who set them up here!

After our toss, more human-faced beetles and underwater monsters confronted each other, and the two sides became more tense!

Although there are still a lot of beetles rushing at us, I know that now is the best time for us to get out!

I panted and turned to Shi Tao and said, "Brother Tao, you go first!" ”

Shi Tao refused, "No, you and Kong Xue go first!" ”

I shook my head, "Brother Tao, you don't understand, the first person to go has a big task, you must swim over as soon as possible and find the opposite passage in order to meet us, if the first person fails, then the three of us have no hope, and we must all die here!" Speaking of this, I swallowed my saliva, my mouth was really dry and uncomfortable at this time, and I continued: "Brother Tao, my physical strength is not good, it is more appropriate for you to go!" Don't grind! Fast! ”

Shi Tao looked at me, then nodded and patted me on the shoulder, "Hold on!" After saying that, he quickly turned around and jumped into the water!

I have begun to lose my breath, but the movements in my hands still dare not relax, the flames on Shi Tao's sapper shovel have gradually extinguished, Kong Xue picked it up, stood next to me, and desperately helped me beat the waves of beetles rushing over without saying a word, I saw that her arms were also trembling, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, and in Kong Xue's eyes, I saw crystal tears, but I could also see that she was trying not to let the tears stay.

After a while, I turned my head and saw that somewhere in the distance, there was a flashlight, flashing and extinguishing the signal, it was Shi Tao! He did it! I couldn't help but rejoice in the fact that, as I had guessed, there was another passage on the water not far from us.

I turned my head to Kong Xue and said, "Xiaoxue, quick!" Go into the water and go find Brother Tao! "I find myself now that I don't even have the strength to say a long sentence!

As I expected, Kong Xue shook her head vigorously and refused, "No! Let's go together! ”

I was furious, "Kong Xue, don't be willful!" When is it? I gasped a few times and said, "You hurry up, I'll take you with you for a while, in case of danger, I have to take care of you!" I don't have that energy! I was ruthless, "Can you please stop talking so much nonsense!" Get out of here! Otherwise, I won't be able to leave! ”

Kong Xue looked at me in surprise, I pretended to turn my head to the side, I knew that I couldn't look her eyes directly, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control myself, and I couldn't be ruthless!

The tears in Kong Xue's eyes couldn't be stopped any longer, and she said tremblingly: "Okay, I'll go!" As he spoke, he threw down the sapper shovel and turned to leave, and just after taking two steps, he suddenly said, "You have to be careful, come here quickly!" ”

I didn't dare to turn my head back, and gritted my teeth, "Okay, okay, let's go!" With a thud behind me, my heart sank.

To be honest, I deliberately pretended to be confident, but I really didn't know what I was going to do next, but I knew that what I had to do now was to do my best to throw more beetles into the water, attract the attention of the monster in the water, and make it not notice the snow in the water, so as to buy her enough time.

But after that, how sure am I that I will be able to swim to the opposite passage? I don't have the slightest certainty, once I stop what I do, not to mention, those human-faced beetles will rush over in an instant, even if I move fast enough to jump into the water, and that mysterious monster, without the attraction of delicious beetles, will soon notice my whereabouts, and at that time, I will be the last entrée of that monster's meal!

I felt that my arms were becoming more and more disobedient, as if they were filled with lead. As I slowed down, some beetles rushed over and threw themselves on my legs and bit wildly! If I knock one out with my hands, two will climb up, and if I knock out two, five will climb up!

Fortunately, my clothes were strong enough and my belt was tightly tied, and these beetles could only wreak havoc on the outside of my clothes for a while, and I slapped my upper body with one hand desperately to protect my neck and face.

The pain of being bitten on my leg gradually turned into numbness, and I felt a sense of desolation in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear for such a death. I also asked myself why I let Shi Tao and Kong Xue go first, but I couldn't tell why I did it. For Shi Tao, maybe it was because he had sacrificed his life to save me when he was in the Tibetan Temple of Qilian Mountain, and this time it could be regarded as returning it to him, but in fact, it should be more of a rational choice, and Shi Tao is indeed the best person to take the lead.

And for Kong Xue, it may be love, I haven't been in love, and I don't know what love is. I just know I don't want her to be hurt, I don't have any other thoughts than to keep her safe! Am I stupid, I just know that I don't regret it!
