Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Glimmer of Life in the Depths of the River
Just as I was lifting the stone and preparing to smash it, I suddenly felt a movement under my feet, and I subconsciously looked down and was immediately shocked. It turned out that there was a human-faced beetle at my feet.
I don't know how long this beetle has been here, but its back is already covered with dust and rubble, obscuring the human face pattern on its original back, so I didn't pay attention to its presence either.
And just now my foot happened to step on one of its claws, it is estimated that this beetle was still asleep, but I stepped on the mouth, like this situation is estimated that anyone will be angry, I simply hit the muzzle of the gun, and my intestines are going to regret it!
The beetle shook as I stepped on it, and pulled its claws back from under my feet, and now my ankles were right between its two claws.
For a moment, my head buzzed. The beetle at my feet had apparently noticed my presence as well. Judging from the performance of the beetle just now, this beetle is very ferocious, and this one is probably no exception. Sure enough, the two huge claws in front of its beak opened all at once!
I'm not good at secretly, this kind of beetle attack speed is very fast, and at such a close distance, you can't dodge it. Nine times out of ten, this foot is a waste!
But come to think of it, my psychological quality is really not good. If the second uncle encounters this situation, he must raise the stone in his hand and throw it down, the second uncle's idea is that if you don't let me feel better, I won't let you go. But I felt a chill in my heart, and the stone I was holding in my hand fell down.
I closed my eyes and waited for the sound of impending pain and even broken bones.
But what I didn't expect was that maybe it was the favor of God, and when the stone in my hand fell, it happened to be stuck in the middle of the two giant claws of the human face beetle.
I looked down and immediately felt ecstasy, and the excitement of the rest of my life came to my face, and I withdrew my feet in a lightning flash, turned and ran, shouting as I ran, "Run!" Here's another one! ”
Hearing my shout, the other people's faces also changed greatly, and the second uncle said to me while running: "I said that you kid stood there for a long time, and you still have a game to buy one get one free!" ”
I didn't care about the second uncle's run, so I asked, "Second uncle! Hurry up and think of a way, what should we do now? ”、
The second uncle lowered his head and ran wildly, "How do I know, run first!" ”
"Holy!" I looked at the second uncle, "Are you asking us to compete with insects for endurance?" ”
Kong Xue was behind me and shouted loudly: "Oh, when is it, you guys hurry up and think of a way!" ”
The second uncle turned his head and asked Shi Tao, "Did the face beetle catch up?" Shi Tao shook his head, "No, it's too dark to see clearly!" ”
"I'm coming!" As I spoke, I immediately focused and listened carefully to the movements behind us, and sure enough, behind us, there were some subtle movements, although the sound was not loud, but the frequency was very fast!
I hurriedly said to my second uncle: "The face beetle should have caught up from behind, what should I do?" ”
The second uncle thought for a while, "It's really not good, so we can only enter the dark river to hide first, most of these Coleoptera arthropods can't swim, maybe we can find a glimmer of life in the water!"
Let me jump into the cold dark river, I really don't want to, but for the sake of survival, I can only do this, I nodded, and then told Kong Xue and Shi Tao that they were ready to enter the dark river at any time.
The light here is very bad, the ground is not very flat, and there are often raised rocks or sunken potholes, and we stumble when we run, which greatly affects our travel speed.
I listened to the back again, and the movement behind me was a little closer! I was shocked and hurriedly reminded the second uncle, so we began to consciously move closer to the direction of the dark river, ready to jump into the river at any time.
I held the flashlight and ran forward desperately, the flashlight was running, shaking and shaking, and I was dizzy to see. I had no choice but to stare at the figure of the second uncle in front of me and follow him closely. I also have to look at Kong Xue behind me from time to time, so as not to fall behind, and just after my head shook back and forth, I immediately saw a black shadow flashing in front of me, and I suddenly found that the second uncle was gone!
My heart is furious! The second uncle was the guide of my direction, and his figure disappeared, so that I suddenly didn't know which direction to go.
I was hesitating whether I should stop, when suddenly my feet were empty, and my whole body was planted, and I didn't even have time to shout "ah" before I fell to the ground.
The second uncle sat down next to me, and he didn't seem to be in a big deal. As soon as I wanted to get up, suddenly another person slammed down, right on my body, and I was thrown to the ground again, and my chest was so tight that I almost spurted out a mouthful of blood!
I was annoyed by the smashing and was about to turn around to scold, when I heard a voice behind me, "Oops, I'm sorry!" "It's Kong Xue! I don't know why most of my anger dissipated suddenly, I rubbed my back that was almost broken, "Miss, I was almost stoned to death by you!" ”
Kong Xue hurriedly apologized while helping me rub my back, and a strange feeling of comfort spread throughout my body, and the remaining resentment disappeared, and I even hoped to be able to do it again.
At this time, another figure fell, scared me to shrink my neck, and my heart said that it would not fall on my body again, fortunately, this person did not fall, but jumped down, he fell to the ground steadily, in a trance, I actually felt that this figure seemed to be Wenmo, which made me happy, but when I looked at it, it turned out to be Shi Tao.
Shi Tao stretched out his hand and I helped him up, "Are you all right?" ”
The second uncle and Kong Xue both shook their heads, and I rubbed my back, but I could only shake my head with a wry smile.
The second uncle asked Shi Tao, "When you came down, the human-faced beetle didn't follow." ”
Shi Tao shook his head, "I didn't see the specific location clearly, but it should be a little far away from us!" ”
I looked up at the spot where we had fallen, and it looked like a river. It's not very deep, it's almost a little more than one person, but it's very wide, at least a dozen meters, and as for the length, it's not clear at all. I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something in the distance, but I didn't bother to study it at this point, we had to dodge the attack of the face beetles first.
The edge of the river is not too steep, and the surface is not smooth, so it is easy to find a few landing points. We crept up to look, but we couldn't see anything at all. If it weren't for the pattern on its back from above, the human-faced beetles would be lying on the ground almost like ordinary stones.
The second uncle slowly took out a cold firework from his bag, pulled it open, and threw it forward vigorously. The cold fireworks fell to the ground, and soon burst into a dazzling white light, illuminating a large area on the ground.
And when the white light came on, our hearts suddenly darkened. Because we clearly saw that there were far more than two face beetles on the ground, densely clustered together, not to mention more than two dozen! I don't know when their team actually grows!
When there were only two of us just now, they drove us around, and now there are so many at once, how to deal with this? I suddenly miss the gun I used when I was in Qilian Mountain, if we have a few FMG9s in our hands now, why be so embarrassed!
Fortunately, these face beetles were now attracted by the cold fireworks, and they all gathered in that place.
We were lying on the edge of the river, Kong Xue looked at me, I went to look at Shi Tao again, but Shi Tao turned his head to look at me, I shook my head at him, and then the three of us looked at the second uncle together.
Seeing the gazes of several of us, the second uncle was stunned at first, and then waved his hand at us, signaling us to leave quietly and quickly!
Alas, it's running again, it's just too wretched, being chased around by a few big bugs, it's really a shame for humans, but there is no way, these beetles are too terrifying!
Just as we were climbing down, I don't know who kicked it into the air, and a stone from the river rolled down. The egg-sized stone rolled all the way to the middle of the bottom of the river, and this series of sounds sounded like thunder in such a silent environment.
I quickly turned back to look at the face beetles, and in an instant, my eyes widened, and I saw that these beetles began to be agitated, and pounced in the direction of the sound!
I jumped down from the edge of the river and said, "Oh no! Come on! Here they are! ”
And just like that, we were running down the river again, and I turned my head to look behind me, and there were two dozen black human-faced beetles, which were rushing towards us due to a large cloud flying close to the ground.
But the river is so wide and long that there is literally nothing to shelter it. If this continues, we will be caught up in no more than ten minutes, and after three times and twice running with all our strength, our physical strength has been exhausted, and it will probably not take ten minutes for us to become the "meal on the plate" of this group of insects!
It occurred to me that when I came down, I seemed to see something in the middle of the river.
I stopped to make out the direction, and sure enough, I saw something faintly placed in the depths of the river. But I couldn't see what it was, and I was a little hesitant to go over? Where will there be danger? But on second thought, at this moment, there is probably nothing more terrifying than being chased by these bugs!
I don't know why, but I always feel that the thing that looms in the depths of the river may be our silver lining.
I turned to the others and shouted, "Quick, follow me!" There's something ahead that might be avoided. ”
At this time, everyone was a little flustered, and every idea and possibility seemed like a life-saving straw in everyone's eyes! There's no reason not to try. Therefore, without saying a word, everyone ran in the direction I wanted without any doubt.
And as we got closer and closer to the thing in the depths of the river, we could almost make out its outline, and it looked like a tent!
