A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the blood.
There is no doubt that Brother Yaozi is such a warrior in my eyes.
He remained unmoved in the face of the raging fire, and did not even frown when he tore the underwater predator apart with his hands.
But at this time, Brother Mengshi was scared, and fear flashed on his face.
The scene here is really too creepy. Those eyes embedded in the mud are basically eyes, emitting dim light. I am afraid that anyone who sees them will not be able to calm down, and it will make people with intensive phobia crazy.
The mud under the pool is agitated and gradually becomes turbid.
Those things that drilled in the mud are coming out, and are uncovering the thick mud accumulated on them!
The moment he reacted, Brother Yaozi paddled wildly in the water. Even so, he probably felt that the speed was not fast enough. Under the stimulation of the crisis, perhaps out of instinct, he subconsciously grabbed my ankle and pulled it, then rushed to the surface of the water quickly, using his hands and feet, so that the bubbles in the water rolled. If you don't know, you would think he was equipped with a jet propeller.
What happened to your promise to keep me safe?
My face turned green, and I fluttered in the water to chase Brother Yaozi.
In the blink of an eye, the bottom of the entire pool was completely turbid. The muddy water almost made the bottom look like a city swept by a sandstorm, covered in a large area of yellow.
In the muddy water, fat bugs chased out one by one.
Have you seen bugs as big as trash cans?
All of them are like this. They are the real killers in this pool. I don't think they can be considered bugs anymore.
There were too many of them, covered in black shells, which made a "crackling" sound when they swam in the water, and they swept towards me in an overwhelming manner.
I dare to guarantee that if they really caught up with me, I would die without even a big toe left!
Under the threat of death, my potential almost burst out, and I swam very fast. I rushed out of the water in a blink of an eye and rushed to the shallows with a crazy dog paddle.
"Master!"
I rolled and crawled in the muddy water of the shallows, and my cry for help was almost like a scream.
Because those giant insects were infinitely close to me and were chasing me behind my butt.
In fact, everyone was not blind, I didn't need to ask for help at all. When those giant insects floated to the surface of the water, everyone had already seen them, just like a large piece of black pollution, which made people's scalps numb.
Brother Yaozi and I rushed to the shallows at almost the same time, and these giant insects seemed to have recognized me and all rushed towards me.
I think it might be the cut on my face that provoked them with the bloody smell.
It happened in a flash. Zhang Xinya was the first to rush up and pulled me out of the mud in the shallows.
These insects seemed to be very dependent on the pool. They stopped chasing me when they saw me on the shore, but there were also very ferocious ones. One of them was particularly large, almost as long as a human leg. It rushed out of the water with a "plop", and its two powerful and sharp forearms cut directly at the back of my neck.
Seeing that my life was about to be lost, my master finally took action. He was so fast that he almost turned into a black shadow and passed by me in an instant. The ancient sword in his hand pierced the giant insect with a "plop" sound and stuck it on the tip of the sword.
At this point, my life was saved.
The giant insects in the pool dived underwater like the tide. When they gathered together and floated to the surface, it was like pouring a bottle of thick ink into the water. Now the pool has become clear again, which makes me feel relieved.
Plop.
My master threw the giant insect he killed to the ground. The vitality of this thing is too strong. My master cut it open from the abdomen with a sword, and the green liquid sprayed all over the ground, but it still didn't die and rolled on the ground.
However, after it left the pool, its ferocity was greatly reduced, and its speed was far less than that in the water. It could even be said to be as slow as a turtle!
"This should be an insect king, right?"
Brother Yaozi wiped the water off his face fiercely, and shuddered uncontrollably when he looked at the thing in front of him.
There is no way, this is all destined in the genes. In ancient times, what really frightened humans were not those carnivorous land overlords, but various fierce and poisonous insects, so that this fear has been preserved in the human body. There are too few people who are not afraid of intensive phobia and insects. Even real warriors will tremble when they see them.
Moreover, the giant insect in front of me is indeed a bit scary. It is more than half a meter long, two to three times larger than other insects. Even the color of its shell is dark red. The overall size is similar to that of a cockroach. The abdomen is full of red hairs one finger long. However, there are three big killers on its head. In the middle is a spike similar to an awl, and on both sides are two forearms that are extremely similar to mantises.
Who wouldn't be scared when looking at this thing? Even my master was a little afraid. Seeing that this thing was still crawling all over the ground, as if it wanted to aim at someone, he immediately went up and chopped off the head with green eyes with a sword.
"What on earth is this?"
Zhang Xinya trembled all over, probably because she was afraid of the time she went up to pull me. She looked at the insect corpse and murmured: "I have never seen such an insect!"
"This seems to be Hongnianghua..."
I know the Hongnianghua he mentioned. It is also called water scorpion. Its scientific name is scorpion bug. It is a kind of insect that lives in water. It is quite ferocious and can prey on small fish and tadpoles. It is definitely not the same as the thing in front of me that can prey on people.
"Needless to say, this is a water scorpion."
My master sighed and used his toes to pick out a bone from the wet mud in the shallows: "There are a lot of dirty things buried here, including monsters and corpses. Almost all of them have been killed. I'm afraid that the corpses of these dead monsters will eventually become the bargains of these water scorpions."
My master said that whether in China or abroad, there is a kind of awe for scavengers, and they believe that scavengers have extraordinary powers. This is not just because normal people reject rotten corpses. In fact, rotten corpses are indeed very unusual. All living creatures belong to a link in the food chain when they are alive. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. If they eat too much, there will naturally be evil spirits in their bodies. After death, the corpses will rot, and all these evil spirits will come out. If they are not scavengers themselves, but they gnaw on such rotten corpses, there will naturally be unpredictable results. Maybe they will die, or maybe they will mutate over the years.
And which of these monsters and zombies who died here is not a powerful character?
If they are not powerful, I'm afraid that the last heavenly official will not look down on them!
All these corpses are extraordinary. It is normal for water scorpions to grow into such monsters after eating them.
"What should we do now? There are so many things that eat corpses in the tomb. I have seen corpse-eating grandpa, but this corpse-eating water scorpion is the first time I have seen it. It is much more powerful than corpse-eating. If three or five big insects block us in the water, a living person will be scrapped."
Lao Bai was a little scared: "There are too many of those things, at least a thousand or eight hundred. If we don't get rid of them, we will be used as dry food as soon as we enter the water."
This is indeed the biggest problem at the moment.
But my master seemed to have made up his mind about this. He just smiled and didn't respond. Instead, he continued to ask me: "Did you find the way under the water?"
Of course, the way was found.
But this road is not easy to walk! !
I was a little confused. Since my master ignored the water scorpions, I could only stop talking about it. I frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Take out all our medical alcohol and see if there is enough. Maybe we can open a path. This is our only chance. If not, we can only go back home. The path has been blocked. It is both a main structure of a tomb and a mechanism. If we use brute force, it will only lead to a dead end!!"
