Chapter 192: Drought Locusts
readx;
Under the illumination of the light, I could clearly see a large black flickering thing slowly wriggling. There is still disgusting mucus on the surface of the pen %fun %www.biquge.info. I instantly thought of snails, very similar, except without a hard shell. "It's a leech!" one of the mercenaries recognized, and let out a frightened cry. I've heard of this thing, it's just a blood-sucking bug, and even if it's a little bigger, it won't scare mercenaries like this. Gray touched his round head and said, "Aren't leeches living in water? mutated?" "It's a drought locust!" one of the mercenaries shouted, "Let's go!" "Don't want the corpses anymore?" I was still thinking about bringing the corpses back, people died like lights out, but they shouldn't be in the wilderness. Xiao Xi hurriedly said: "Hurry up, it's dangerous." In ancient books, it is said that leeches are long and can smack the blood of cows, horses, and people. Do you think you have more blood than a cow?" Gray didn't care, and with a slight swipe of the blade of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, the leech was broken into two, and the blood burst out. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and I suddenly realized that judging by the size of the leech, it was impossible for a leech to suck a strong, large living person dry. There may be other leeches here. "Get out of here!" I yelled. The crowd quickly stepped back, touching the vegetation around them, making a rustling sound. He had just taken a few steps back when there was a crackling sound and something falling from a tree. Then there was a scream. I shone my flashlight, and fist-sized insects rained down from the trees. We were instantly surrounded by leeches. A leech happened to land on the neck of a mercenary, and he grabbed it with his backhand, only a few times, and as soon as his legs went limp, he fell to his knees. The body of the leech on the neck has grown three or four times larger, and it is still expanding. The comrade behind him came to his senses and drew his knife to help him pick the leech off. Before the knife touched the leech, the man fell. The body twitched a few times and then did not move. I rushed over and shone a flashlight, and the mercenary was afraid that his body was full of leeches. I reached out and touched it, but the person was no longer breathing. The carcass quickly dried up under the sucking of leeches, and the flesh became tightly clinging to the bones. The leeche squirmed away from the corpse, seemingly unfed, and swiftly other targets. Looking at the dense insects, which almost covered the entire space, my scalp tingled for a while. The leeches are still gathering and must rush out as soon as possible. "Who's got salt on their body?" I shouted. If memory serves. Leeches are afraid of salt, and salt will dehydrate leeches. "I have!" shouted one of the mercenaries. Rushing over with hope, the mercenary was only holding a small pack of cigarettes in his hand, only twenty grams at most, and he was not enough for himself. "Keep it for yourself. "I gave him back the salt packet. We are surrounded by leeches, we have reached the Jedi, and there is no way to escape. "Hey, does anyone hear me, hurry up and get salt. A mercenary shouted loudly to the camp. I shook my head helplessly, and even if someone heard it, when the salt came, we were all sucked dry. Judging from the situation of hanging up the brother just now, it will not take more than two minutes for a person to be sucked to death. The leech got closer and closer, and the mercenary tore the salt bag in his hand, put it in his palm very cleverly, and blew hard, and the salt grains were scattered everywhere. Soon the effect was over, and the leeches in front of the mercenaries rolled away, and a gap appeared in the encirclement. It's a pity that there is too little salt, there are too many of us, and we can only protect the safety of a few people. "Let go and let me come!" Gray made his way through the crowd and walked to the front of the line, holding the Great Summer Dragon Sparrow in his hand. This thing has to be killed a way. The leeches on the ground were cut into pieces by the knife qi, and they were cut out of a way by Gray, and the ground was full of blood and broken leeches, and the broken leeches were still wriggling. The crowd followed, highlighting the leeches surrounded by them. "Dude, you saved my life again. "The mercenaries thanked us. "Alright, let's camp first. With that, I turned and walked a few steps, only to find that the mercenary had not followed. They looked at the corpses of their comrades who had fallen to the ground, and the expedition had just begun, and three of them had already died. This is already beyond their estimates. Gray couldn't bear it, and comforted: "Brother, people can't be resurrected after death, and it's okay to mourn by the way." Either I'll go in again, and let you carry the corpse out and put it into the ground." The mercenary saluted the corpse of his companion. One of them said indifferently: "If you do our job, you will die sooner or later." It's nice to be left with a whole corpse, much better than a lot of brothers. "After just a brief ceremony, the mercenaries followed us back to the camp. Bo Gang said in a strange way on the tree: "If there is one less, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer." The mercenary glanced at Bo Gang and didn't say anything, but the look in Bo Gang's eyes was different. This time there was no danger, and we also won the favor of the mercenaries unexpectedly. I think I can work harder, maybe I can get them to fall on my side, and if we get into a conflict with Merry, they might be on our side. Professor Zhang only came out to ask what was going on, and when he heard that the loss was not big, he went back to the tent without any indication. Merry and Assistant Gao stayed in the tent and didn't come out. The five strong men she brought with her didn't even ask. We chatted with the mercenaries and went back to sleep in the tent. Although the guide hated it, he was right, and the front was really dangerous. We only reached the edge, and there were leeches that could suck people dry, and further inside, I don't know how much danger there was. The mercenaries were on vigil, and if there was danger, they would call us, and for the first time they enjoyed the treatment of sleeping peacefully overnight. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep. What I had expected did not happen, no evil creatures came during the night, and we slept until the next morning. As soon as it was light, the camp was busy, the campfire was rekindled, and the mercenaries began to prepare breakfast. I woke up from my sleep, and I slept better than I did in my dorm. I got out of my tent and a mercenary came looking for me. "Master, something is wrong!" "What's wrong?" I noticed that the mercenary's face was very wrong. "Corpse...... Corpse ......" As soon as I heard that something had happened to the corpse, I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the corpse?" "I can't tell, you better go and take a look!" I walked a few steps, felt a little inappropriate, and came back to call Gray and Xiaoxi. When I returned to the place where the accident happened last night, the blood stains on the ground were gone, the leech fragments were gone, and the most important thing was that the two corpses were also missing. "Hell, there are corpse thieves in this place, too?" Grey cried. I wanted to take a closer look, but I hesitated a little at the thought of the dense number of leeches. Gray drew his broadsword and slashed a few times in the tree on the side. "What are you doing here?" asked Xiaoxi. "What a simple thing. Gray pointed up with his hand and said, "Anyway, it's not far, you can't look closer, you can go up and see." "Good idea!" I slashed out of Gray's mouth, and in a few clicks I climbed up the tree. The tree was thick, and it took a few more steps along the thick trunk, only a few meters above the corpse. There were no leeches on the tree, and when I looked down from the tree, the place where the corpse lay was overwhelming a large bush. Strangely, the bushes around the corpse showed no signs of overpowering breakage. "What did you find?" cried Gray. "Nothing was found. "That's the problem, even if the corpse becomes a zombie, it is impossible to leave here without leaving a trace, how the hell did the corpse disappear. After looking at the tree for a long time, I didn't see it, but Professor Zhang came over with Bogang. Bo Gang said: "Don't look for it, a lot can happen in one night, especially in this jungle." I climbed down from the tree and asked, "Then you know where the body went?" Bo Gang shook his head and said, "I don't know, there are many possibilities, and I don't know either." It is possible for the dead to come back to life, and it is trivial for the corpse to be missing. I came down from the tree, and Bo Gang said in a weird way: "You are doing well, you can still come back alive when you encounter a dry leech." "You knew there were bugs here?" asked the mercenary, angrily.
