Chapter Seventy-Four: Ghost Worms

"Wake up, wake up!" In the middle of the night, Qiushui was falling asleep with drooling, muttering some slurred words in his mouth, occasionally letting out a smirk, and not knowing what he dreamed of. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Snow Maiden crouched beside him, pushing and shoving him, frowning, and looking around from time to time, as if she was wary of something.

"What's wrong?" Qiushui asked in confusion as she woke up and looked at the Snow Maiden sleepily.

"Listen, is there a strange sound?" said the Snow Maiden softly. Qiushui listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a buzzing sound in the depths of the forest, like a swarm of flies swirling in his ears. And as time passed, the sound got closer and closer, mixed with the rustle of leaves, and there was an indescribable eerie feeling.

So Qiushui stood up, holding the Heavenly Evil in his hands, and his eyes were fixed on the direction from which the voice came. The noise grew louder and louder, and it became a little harsh. In this solemn atmosphere, I saw a group of black things suddenly fly out of the gloomy bushes. Almost at the same time, Snow Maiden waved her arm, and a white cold air shot out and collided with the thing. There was a crackling sound in my ears, and countless debris fell from the sky and fell to the ground like raindrops. Qiushui took the opportunity to pick up one, only to see that it was a black worm, with three pairs of wings on its back, two rows of sharp teeth in front, no eyes, and a pair of tentacles on its head, which looked very strange. The Snow Maiden also glanced at it, and suddenly her face changed greatly, and she grabbed Qiushui and said, "Escape!"

Before Qiushui could figure out the situation, he was pulled and ran. The swarm behind him was only resisted by the cold for a moment, and then rushed towards Qiushui and them. And in the process, more and more bugs broke through the soil and joined the huge team.

"Isn't it just a bug, what's there to be afraid of?" Qiushui frowned as he fled.

"It's a ghost worm, a natural predator that eats live meat, hatches from eggs at this time of year, and then scavenges everywhere for food. I've seen in books that everywhere they sweep, there is only a forest of bones. However, it is said that they live in the dark ancient forest on the border of the rain country, how could they come to this place, it is really strange......"

Qiushui suddenly realized, and immediately understood why the vegetation is so lush, but the animals are so scarce, even if there are a few occasionally, they are very small. It turned out that the group of skirts behind him had to sweep around like a ghost entering the village every year, and there were naturally very few who could survive, let alone grow up. Thinking about it this way, the bear that was slaughtered by Qiushui is really pitiful.

"However, they live for a very short period of time, usually only a few days, so they usually don't cause much damage. Of course, this is for a large scale, and if they are encountered, it will be very lucky. The Snow Maiden said with a serious expression. Qiushui felt that the voice behind him was getting closer and closer, and when he looked back, he actually found that the original scale of the insect swarm was not too large, but at this moment, it became overwhelming, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and he was closely chasing after the two of them. He had no doubt that if they stopped now, they would be reduced to two white bones in less than a minute, and there would not be even meat left. Recalling the words of the book, Qiushui's mind came to the scene of countless black eggs hatching in the soil, and he felt a chill at the moment, and said to the Snow Maiden: "It's not a way to run like this, you have to find a place to hide." ”

The Snow Maiden nodded solemnly. So the two men ran away while looking around. Qiu Shui's mood was particularly irritable at the moment, he was worried about whether Yan Boshu and Lin Lin would also be attacked by the swarm, and whether they would be able to escape in time...... As a result, because of distraction, his foot was tripped over a thick vine, and he fell directly on his back and ate. What's even more unfortunate is that the vine actually entangled Qiushui's feet, and Tiansha also fell to the side in the hurry. In desperation, Qiushui had to hurriedly use his hands to untie it, but the vine was too tightly entangled, and he couldn't pull it open for a while. The ghost spirit insects behind were approaching quickly, and they were about to swallow the autumn water. When the Snow Maiden saw it, she quickly stopped, then stretched out her hands and said, "Ice wall, condensation!"

The next moment, a wall of ice tens of meters long and wide appeared in front of Qiushui, barely resisting the attack of the insect swarm. Snow Maiden's face was pale, and it was clear that this size was already her limit. But while the area of the ice wall increased, the thickness was not as good as before, and only the terrifying gnawing sound was heard, and in a short time, half of the ice wall was eaten. Not only that, but there were also a few ghost insects that came around and above the ice wall, and I saw that the Snow Maiden frequently attacked and froze them into ice cubes. However, the number of bugs is too much, and as soon as a bunch of them are killed, another bunch will come up, not to mention that the large army will break through the barrier, and there will be only one dead end.

"Qiushui, hurry up, lie on the ground and pretend to be dead?" the Snow Maiden shouted anxiously. When Qiushui heard this, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and took out a brown pill from his arms and threw it to the Snow Maiden.

"Eat it quickly. ”

"What is this?" the Snow Maiden repelled a few ghost insects and took the pill with one hand, a puzzled expression on her face.

"It's too late to explain, hurry up and eat. At the same time, there was a cracking sound from the ice wall, and the black swarm finally broke through the ice wall, completely drowning the two of them in the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"Oops, are you late?" After a few days of trekking, Chen Min and the others finally came to the Dark Ancient Forest. At this time, Lin Zijing was surprisingly quiet, the ground was full of corpses of ghost spirit insects that had died naturally, and there was no end in sight to the black pressure. Among them, countless white bones were exposed, all of which were animals that did not survive the catastrophe.

"No, there are still people alive. The scar man who took the lead closed his eyes and said after feeling it. In fact, when each contestant participates, a mark is unconsciously planted on his body, just to prevent unnecessary trouble caused by not finding someone at that time. Of course, if a person dies, the mark will naturally dissipate. But at this moment, he could feel the presence of the imprint in the forest. When the others listened, they also sensed it carefully, and sure enough, they found that there were several faint reactions coming from all corners.

"We split up. The scar man gave an order. The winged wolf roared, and led the crowd to disperse in all directions.

I don't know how long it took, but when Qiushui woke up, he found himself lying in a rectangular container. He barely stood up, feeling his head swell for a while, and it took half a column of incense to gradually ease up. Only then did he realize that he was lying in a red coffin, which had not yet been covered, and it seemed that he had just been put in it.

"Damn, it's so unlucky. He scolded and quickly crawled out of the coffin. Looking around, I saw that it seemed to be a mourning hall. The room was covered with white gauze, and there was a statue of the rain master in front of it, and an incense burner was placed in front of the statue, and a few incense sticks in the furnace were still burning, and there was curling green smoke, which seemed to have just been plugged in. What's even more exaggerated is that there are actually three rows here, and dozens of coffins are placed, all of which have not yet been covered like his one. He leaned in to see who they were, but the next moment, he felt a churn in his stomach and almost didn't vomit. It turned out that some of the people in the coffin were left with a head, and some only had some stumps and broken arms, but more of them were just filled with a handful of loess.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened. A middle-aged woman walked in from outside, who seemed to be in charge of tidying up. As soon as she stepped through the door, she met Qiushui's eyes, and after a short silence, she suddenly screamed, and ran out as if she were a ghost, and even the basin of water in her hand fell to the ground, spilling water all over the ground.

"Someone, a corpse!"
