Chapter 633: Bait
Meizizi's Shangguan Kangning found a separate small bottle and stuffed the already unconscious bone-eating insects and some absorbent cotton wool soaked in the liquid medicine into it. Without the dirt to cover him, he took a closer look at the bug.
Chen Ziyang, on the other hand, stared at the dirt and gravel that was poured out by Shangguan Kangning in surprise. After only a short time of tossing around in the bottle, the bone-eating insect had already drilled through several of the larger stones in the bottle.
Each piece of rubble has a hole slightly thinner than a finger and looks about the same size as the hole in the rock face. When it was trapped in the glass bottle just now, the bone-eating insect panicked and kept burrowing around, which is why it made these pieces of rubble look like this.
It seems that what Shangguan Kangning said is not wrong, these bone-eating insects really have a strong mouth power, if they are bitten by these things, they may get into the human body in the blink of an eye. After all, Chen Ziyang felt that his body was not harder than these stones.
The current Chen Ziyang is really extremely depressed, he never thought that some of his adventures would inexplicably give him the ability to attract Gu worms. Originally, he thought that this ability didn't matter, as long as he stayed away from the Gu worm, but now it seems that this is not the case.
The treasure left by Yuan Tiangang should have an inseparable relationship with Gu worms. Just by coming to the entrance of the suspected treasure, everyone had already encountered two rare Gu insects, the Black Gu Worm and the Bone-Eating Worm, and if you count the Sun and Moon Nose Worm that attracted a few people, there were three kinds.
If you go further inside, you don't know how many Gu worms you will encounter, how many kinds of Gu worms as guardians. At this time, he was like a bonfire in the night, as long as the Gu worm smelled the smell of his body, he would take himself as a target.
Although this distance is only about five meters, it is also very deadly, adding to its own danger and the danger of the whole team for no reason. Gu worms within five meters will be led into the team by themselves.
"Shangguan Kangning, you've seen enough, according to your previous plan, let's continue to go inside." Chen Ziyang looked at the direction of the mountain crack and said.
The appearance of the bone-eating insect proves one thing, that is, this passage is very likely to lead to the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang, and it is inevitable that there will be many dreams at night, and Chen Ziyang decided to seize the time to act.
After getting this bone-eating insect, Shangguan Kangning was overjoyed, and he carried out Chen Ziyang's order very resolutely and thoroughly. He hurriedly took out the syringe in the medicine bag and pulled out some blood from Chen Ziyang's body, which was used as bait in his plan.
Near the crack in the mountain where the bone-eating insects are entrenched, the width of the gap there is not too wide, if Chen Ziyang passes there, he will definitely be smelled by the surrounding bone-eating insects, so the team will be very dangerous.
Shangguan Kangning's plan is to use this blood to attract the attention of the bone-eating insects, so as to open up a channel for the advance of the team, and let Chen Ziyang, the "public lover" in the eyes of the Gu insects, pass quickly while the bone-eating insects are attracted by the blood.
This plan may seem feasible, but there is a pitfall. When everyone was inspecting the cracks in the mountain before, they only saw dense nests of bone-eating insects on both sides of the stone wall, but they did not find out how long the cracks in the mountain with the nests of bone-eating insects were in this section, if it was too long, this plan might not work.
Because a large amount of blood was drawn, Chen Ziyang's face was a little pale, but this was still within the acceptable range of him, so after getting ready, a group of six people set off towards the crack in the mountain again.
Shangguan Kangning put Chen Ziyang's blood in two separate bags, and installed a small simple spout on the two bags, as long as he squeezed the side of the bag with his hand, blood would spurt out of the spout. The two bags were distributed by him to Yang Lei and Umbrella Shi Shuai, and the two of them were responsible for releasing the bait.
Shangguan Kangning took the lead, Jin Huang and Xu Xiaoyuan broke off, Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai were on the side of the team, and the five people surrounded Chen Ziyang in the middle.
The group turned the first corner again, and came to a gathering place of bone-eating insects surrounded by tiny holes.
Xu Xiaoyuan poked her head out, wanting to see the situation of the red panda she had thrown there before, but she saw from a distance that there was nothing next to the poacher's body, and the red panda was nowhere to be found.
The six of them didn't dare to come out, and walked slowly along the middle of the mountain crack, constantly paying attention to the situation on the rock walls on both sides, the last thing they wanted to see now was that there were bone-eating insects coming out of these holes.
The earthworm Gu worm released by Shangguan Kangning before was seriously injured just by probing here, and even died in the end because the injury was too severe, and the earthworm Gu worm was still bitten by three bone-eating insects at that time.
In this way, there should be many bone-eating insects living in these holes, and you must be extra careful.
"Step on ...... Step on the ......" The footsteps of the six people echoed in the cracks in the mountain, although they had only walked a short distance, but the six people felt that their physical strength was consumed very quickly, especially the two people on the side of the team, Yang Lei and the umbrella Shi Shuai, the plackets on their chests were already wet with sweat.
It was very tiring to look at the stone wall full of dense holes for a long time, and after a long time, both of them felt a little dazzled, and they had to keep blinking their eyes to be able to see the holes in the stone wall in front of them, otherwise, the things that the two people saw would be blurred, after all, these holes still have the effect of interfering with vision.
At this time, the umbrella stone shuai suddenly saw some holes in the rock wall shaking. He thought that his eyes were spent, but he blinked his eyes a few times, and when he opened them again, he was surprised to find that it was not his own dazzle. One by one, bone-eating insects that were very close to the color of the rock wall emerged from those holes.
"It's out! Run! As soon as he saw these things, Umbrella Shishuai hurriedly shouted, shouting out the previously agreed slogan, and at the same time vigorously squeezed the bag in his hand, causing Chen Ziyang's blood to spurt out.
Because of the thinner nozzle, a thin blood sword slashed across the rock wall in front of the umbrella stone handsome, leaving a dark red horizontal line drawn by blood.
As soon as the blood spurted onto the rock wall, the triangular heads of the nearby bone-eating insects shook violently, and these things gathered towards the place where the blood was there, completely forgetting that there were six people walking in the cracks.
At this time, on the other side of the mountain wall, in the direction of Yang Lei's gaze, there were also many bone-eating insects that came out of the hole. After hearing Umbrella Shishuai's slogan, Yang Lei also moved his hand and squirted out the bag of blood in his hand.
The six men threw off their legs and flew through the cracks in the mountain.
At this time, the rock walls on both sides are all crawling with bone-eating insects, because the bone-eating insects are also gray-white, and the color of the rock wall is very close, so in the eyes of the six people, it is now like the rock walls on both sides are constantly wriggling, as if the rock wall has come to life and wants to devour the six people.
Two thin red lines stretched on the rock walls on both sides, and fortunately, Chen Ziyang's blood could attract these things, otherwise, so many bone-eating insects would rush towards six people at the same time, and the six people would have been bitten to the point that there were no bones left.
Even so, there are still a lot of bone-eating insects that are not attracted by blood, and it is estimated that the nest of these guys is too far away from the blood line spewed out by Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai. The bone-eating insects targeted six people.
In the cracks of the mountains where the team ran, the bone-eating insects chasing behind gathered more and more, desperately chasing behind the six people, because the bone-eating insects crawled very fast, so the army of bone-eating insects chasing behind was getting closer and closer to the team.
Xu Xiaoyuan, who was at the back of the team, saw that the situation was not good, so she took out a few red pills, this kind of pill she had used before when dealing with the three bone-eating insects that were attracted by the earthworm Gu worms, but this time the red pills she took out were much larger, and obviously the power was not small.
A pill was thrown out, and a wall of fire appeared behind Xu Xiaoyuan out of thin air. A large number of bone-eating insects exploded in the flames and died, but because of the relationship between the too many bone-eating insects behind them, although this red pill made a lot of achievements and burned a lot of bone-eating insects, but the dead little guys only accounted for a small part of the total number of bone-eating insects, which was insignificant in comparison.
The red pills were thrown out one by one by Xu Xiaoyuan, and the walls of fire were preventing the approach of the army of bone-eating insects, but the total number of bone-eating insects following the six people not only did not decrease, but was still increasing rapidly.
Where the six men had run, the bone-eating insects were like raindrops, falling one after another from the high rock face, gathering more and more in the cracks of the mountain.
Xu Xiaoyuan's self-made incendiary bomb consumed the bone-eating insects at a rate that was obviously not as fast as the speed at which these things gathered, and after a while, the red pill in her hand had already been used up, and at this time, the closest bone-eating insect following the team was less than two meters away from her.
Xu Xiaoyuan wanted to ask Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai to do a favor and let them spray Chen Ziyang's blood to the back of the team, so as to delay the pursuit of the bone-eating insects. But before she could speak, Xu Xiaoyuan dispelled this idea.
There are no fewer bone-eating insects crawling on the stone walls on both sides than those chasing on the ground, but fortunately, Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai keep spraying blood to let these bone-eating insects slow down the pursuit, otherwise the bone-eating insects on the stone wall will catch up with six people first.
Now the blood spurted out by the two people must not stop, as long as there is a delay, the blood supply is not enough, and the bone-eating insects on the rock walls on both sides will swallow the team, so it is impossible for these two people to be distracted at all to help stop the bone-eating insects pursuing in the rear.
However, Chen Ziyang saw the opportunity quickly, and after discovering the crisis at the rear of the team, he hurriedly used the Xuanming Ancient Sword to cut a cut in his palm, throwing the fresh blood oozing from the wound behind him. After throwing out the blood, he clenched his fists tightly to keep his blood from flowing.
With these baits that appeared out of thin air, the bone-eating insects chasing behind really all stopped, and even a lot of bone-eating insects on the rock walls on both sides rushed there, competing for Chen Ziyang's blood together.
Taking advantage of the sluggish efforts of the army of bone-eating insects chasing behind, the six people quickly opened up the distance between them. Although the current crisis has been lifted temporarily, the current situation of the team is not optimistic.
There seemed to be no end to this mountain gap, and the six of them had been running here for a long time without seeing the edge.
After running such a long distance, the nest holes of those bone-eating insects on the rock walls on both sides have not decreased, just as everyone was worried before, there are too many bone-eating insects in it, and the blood that Chen Ziyang drew before is no longer enough.
Now the blood in the blood bag in the hands of Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai has bottomed out, and even because of the low amount of blood, when the two of them squeeze the bag, the distance where the blood is sprayed is much shorter, or it won't be long before the blood will run out.
After running for so long in this high-pressure environment, the physical strength of the six people has also decreased very much, and now the foreheads of several people are all sweating, panting, and their strides are also a lot slower.
But the six did not dare to stop and rest. At this time, the pursuing army in the rear had completely devoured the blood thrown out by Chen Ziyang, and pursued the six people again.
Chen Ziyang was ready, ready to throw out the blood for the second time, and even he had prepared for the worst, if he hadn't run out of the crack in the mountain before the six people were caught up by the bone-eating insects, he was ready to sacrifice himself to buy the other five people some time to escape.
After all, it was all my own idea to come here this time, and there was no reason to let the other five people sacrifice in vain! What's more, these bone-eating insects are most interested in themselves, as long as they can go out and drill into the army of bone-eating insects, how can they increase the chances of the other five people to escape.
Just when Chen Ziyang was thinking wildly, suddenly there was a rumbling sound of water from the front. It sounds like the sound of water from a waterfall falling into a pool, and judging by the size of the sound, it seems that the height of the waterfall is not small.
Hearing the rumbling of water, and feeling the air around them become more humid, the eyes of the six people showed hope, and it seemed that the waterfall was not far from here.
Although there was no way to see the situation ahead because of the twists and turns in the cracks of the mountain, listening to the sound of the water, the six people judged that this mountain crack should be about to come to an end, and maybe there would be somewhere ahead to get rid of the bone-eating insects chasing behind.
