Chapter 18: A Deadly Sword
The night was long, a few words, but it couldn't hide too much hardship, the dwarf ghost creature was fierce, constantly attacking, at the beginning, they also took care of the life of the worm, and by the time it was almost dawn, they were already in a state of madness.
Fire, impact, upper house tile, tunnel, irrigation, smoking, poisoning, insect repellent......
All the ways were thought of, but as time went on, the barrier created by the worms became stronger and stronger.
It had a kind of beehive-like shape, holding the crumbling house steadily, and anyone who dared to rush into it would be swallowed up by the red mist.
At this time, I also knew what these red dances were.
It's called the schistogram, and it's a tiny insect endemic to the jungles of Southeast Asia, each of which is so small that its body can only be seen under a microscope.
The life cycle of this thing is very fast, about a day to two days, basically living its own life, and before dying, the female sucking grasshopper will lay a large number of eggs, only a finger-long strip of cloth can be stored, and when it is needed again, through some stimulation, it can be awakened again and adopted for its own use.
Worms are the embodiment of worm pools, and there are many similar methods, but it is this simple method that makes these guys helpless.
We spent the night in fear, and when the first rays of sunlight fell outside the window, everyone sat on the ground as if they were in a world away.
Finally, I got through it.
I saw that the worm was also like us, and sat down on the ground very unfiguratively, and leaned on Niannian, his face turned pale, and he exhaled a long breath.
She was also very tired, and this whole night, it was all by her maintenance that she didn't succeed by those little beasts.
Of all of us, worms are the hardest and most stressful.
Because she knew that if she didn't hold on, everyone might be planted here, and the women might be humiliated by the dwarf, and the men would ...... It is estimated that he will not be able to escape death.
So she had to work hard, hard to support.
Seeing her so hard, I couldn't help but blame myself in my heart.
If I'm strong enough, I don't have to work so hard as worms.
And when will I be able to relieve her worries and use my shoulders to support her a piece of the world?
Thinking like this, it dawned on me.
I'm here, what kind of jealousy do I have with Xiong Fei?
What the worm wants is a man who can support her, as long as I am strong enough, then with the relationship between me and her, isn't everything a natural result?
My mind was full of cranky thoughts, and at this time the worm spoke: "Lu Yan, you go outside to take a look, have those Tuxing Suns been withdrawn?" ”
When I heard this, I nodded hurriedly, summoned Xiaohong from the body of the dead Da Biao, and then bypassed the honeycomb-like layered structure, squeezed to the door, and looked out, there was no one in the huge valley village between them.
Not to mention people, the ghost shadow didn't see half of it.
I was happy to share the news with everyone, Nian Nian and Xiong Fei couldn't help but cheer, and Worm said: "Dwarf Charm is a battle race from the Spirit Realm Styx, originally a Yin genus, and they are the most afraid of the most masculine and rigid things, so this time they withdraw, as long as the sun is still overhead, they will not show their faces." ”
I looked at the scattered houses in the valley and wondered if they would hide in the houses and release their arrows.
The worm thought for a while, and said that we would check it later, but it should not be very likely - they would have no problem staying in this house on weekdays, but in the current situation, if we tore the roof over, we would be exposed to the sun, too passive; If I were them, I would have hid in a cave, so that nothing could be lost.
Her thinking was clear, and I didn't wait for everyone to come out, so I took the lead and searched several places nearby, and sure enough, as the worm said, there was nothing in the house, even important things were gone.
They have long since moved away.
In this way, in such a large canyon, there are only those of us.
The four of them came to the flat ground where the dwarf ghosts had gathered before, and there were still a dozen fires and curling smoke, and I looked left and right, and saw that the canyon was quite high, a bit like a sinkhole, and I didn't know if there was a road at the end.
"It's safe during the day, but at night, we may not be able to stand it, so we have to find a way to get out of here," I said. ”
Nian Nian nodded, yes, but the only way we know is the cave over there, but now it is very likely that there is a group of dwarf ghosts hidden in it, and if we go in, it will be like sending us to death, and we will have to find another way to leave.
Worm glanced at Xiong Fei, who was speechless next to him, and asked him what he thought?
After Xiong Fei was hit hard, he was always in a sullen state, even if he heard the worm take the initiative to ask, he just smiled reluctantly, laughed miserably, and said no, you just decide.
The worm glanced at him, didn't pay any more attention, but went back to discuss it, saying that we should try it first, go to both ends of the canyon, and then decide on the other.
After the few of us had agreed, we were ready to explore where we came from.
Just as a few people were about to leave, I remembered something and said wait a minute, let me take a look first.
The three of them were stunned, what do they mean?
I didn't speak, but searched the nearby room, found a large oil cylinder, and then moved it out, poured a scoop of oil over each of the little houses, and prepared to light a fire.
Nian Nian saw that I was about to burn down the village, so she hurriedly came over to stop me, and said What are you doing here?
I said that those people retreated into the cave, I don't believe that there were not a few guys left to keep watch and report the news, and if there were, they must be hidden in this village, and we searched one by one, and we may not be able to find them, but if a fire burns them, we will definitely be able to find them - these dwarf charms are very fierce, and they are mortal enemies with our Gu Miao, since they are fighting for their lives, what does it matter if they burn his home?
Niannian listened to me very reasonable, but he still couldn't bear it, saying that you burned this place, what if it spread to the entire valley?
I pointed to this village and said you see, the stream flows through here, separating the village from other places, and even if the whole village is plunged into a sea of fire, it will not spread wantonly, and smoke or something, as long as we avoid it, it will not be a big problem; Another one, there is a fire in this mountain, maybe there will be a rescue team coming, and at that time, these dwarf ghosts will not dare to show their faces.
Hearing my words, Nian Nian no longer objected, but looked at the worm.
She is the most decisive person in the whole team.
Looking at our expectant gaze, Worm smiled and said that Lu Yan came back this time, and the change was really big, and he became more and more like a man.
After receiving the praise of the insects, I felt a little proud in my heart, and set the house on fire, and the oil immediately made the fire angry, and most of these houses were made of stone and wood, and the roof was made of bark straw, which rose when the wind rose.
They retreated to the creek. And I carried a long sword and set fire back and forth in the village.
The fire spread at once, and at this moment I saw a scream coming from the village, and I rushed over with my sword, and saw that as I expected, the dwarf charm was ambushed here, and at this moment it was forced by the fire, and all the hulala came out, seven or eight of them, and some of them were still on fire.
They ran wildly towards the mountain wall, and I chased after them with my sword.
These dwarf charms were fierce at night, but during the day, under the light of the sun, they looked particularly weak, like sheep, they couldn't run fast, and black smoke kept rising from their bare skin, and I rushed over, and as soon as the sword went down, my head flew up.
I killed four or five in a row, and the rest fell on the grass as well.
My opponent was too weak for the killing to give me no pleasure, but a wave of nausea, and after dealing with that, I went back to the creek and subconsciously washed my hands a few more times.
Dealing with the dark eye, we did not stay any longer, but walked towards the front end of the canyon.
The canyon was not very long, and we walked for more than a quarter of an hour, and when we reached the end, we found that it was a dead end, and it was impossible to go at all, with high mountain walls on both sides, and it went vertically.
And the brook flowed out of a dark river.
We immediately turned back and went down the stream to the other side of the canyon, where we found that it was still a dead end.
As expected, it was a sinkhole, stuck in a dead end in the mountain.
What to do?
The small villages in the canyon are burning brighter and louder, and we are in a state of agitation, and if we can't escape now, we will be besieged and killed by the swarming ghosts that swarm out at night.
After thinking for a while, the insect suddenly pointed to the mountain wall not far away and said, "Let's climb up." ”
Climb up?
The words of the insect made us suddenly realize that since this is a canyon sinkhole, a dead end, then we climb up the mountain wall, maybe there will be a way out.
We found a mountain wall with a lot of vines in the valley, looked at it, and decided that Worm and Nian Nian would go first, and the two of them would explore the way.
And I took care of Xiong Fei, and the two climbed up together.
This mountain wall is almost 90 degrees vertical, and even at a negative angle, it is definitely an insurmountable barrier for ordinary people, but we are cultivators, and there are not too many obstacles, but Xiong Fei is injured and weak, and it doesn't hurt for me to take care of it carefully.
The two worms were very fast, and after a while, they crawled far away, and just when we thought we could leave all the way, there were suddenly several beast roars from above.
When I looked up, I saw the six-legged leopard I saw in the cave yesterday appearing and attacking the insects hanging in mid-air.
There was chaos above, I fell at the bottom, anxious, and shouted at Xiong Fei above, telling him to hurry up.
And then, suddenly, the vine in my hand loosened.
I fell, and when I looked up, I saw a dagger in Xiong Fei's hand.
