Chapter 50: Gathering in the Valley, Racing Against Time
The moment I was washed away by the flood, my mind went blank, not because I didn't want to think about something, but because under the instantaneous explosion of nature, you simply don't have the ability to think about something. ()
In a daze, I was washed out of the cave and down a gentle hillside, and it was not until I reached a flat ground that the speed of the water slowed down!
It was at this moment that I reacted, saw the opportunity, hugged a big tree, and let my body stop.
Once I had settled down, my first instinct was to observe my surroundings, a large valley between the mountains, and except for a few trees, a meadow that had withered in winter, and bushes that had been washed away by the howling water.
I was on a tree, on a higher ground, and I could see a few holes in the middle of the water, which made me sigh, no wonder people often say that the wind is smooth, from the hole to this valley, I have to walk on two legs for at least half an hour, and it is only a matter of time before I am washed here by the water.
Shaking off these messy thoughts, and not caring about the wet clothes, I began to worry about the Master and them, but I, sitting on the tree, just took a closer look around by the moonlight, and I was immediately relieved.
Because the water did not continue to rush out at all, the water just now flowed to the valley, and it was also accommodated by the huge valley area, turning into a shallow pool, and it was not as good as the calves of people, all the people were here, my master and them, Wu Liyu, the old monsters, and the big insects were all washed into this valley.
Master, what are you going to do? Is the purpose of this flood to wash people into the valley? I shook my hair that was still dripping, but I accidentally saw that around the valley where there was water, there were many shadows, these people were holding flashlights, it was so obvious, because I couldn't see it clearly because it was a little far away, until a bold voice came to my ears: "Jiang Shi, they were washed out, and there are insects, I saw it." ”
I'm sure those figures are our people! Because that bold voice is Brother Guan Xi's! How did they get to this valley? In those figures, I clearly saw motorcycles, horses, etc., indicating that they still ran here quickly.
I was a little puzzled for a while, and habitually wanted to find a cigarette, but I smiled bitterly and found that the cigarette had been soaked in my clothes, and it had become a pack of cigarette foam, and I was smoking.
I smiled wryly and threw away my cigarette, but I heard a voice scolding from below: "Don't come down yet, do you want to be a monkey in the tree?" "I looked down, who was it not my master? As soon as I saw that we were being washed very close, I was shocked that he had come up to me.
Master commanded, how dare the apprentice disobey, hurriedly got off the tree, my master looked at me and snorted, and said, "How afraid of death are you?" You're the only one hanging from the tree! ”
I blushed and argued, "Isn't that my quick reaction?" ”
But I saw Uncle Hui in front of me twisting his clothes and saying, "You are an atavistic phenomenon, you want to climb when you see a tree." No wonder you felt like you hadn't evolved fully since you were a child, like a monkey. ”
I'm speechless.
Soon, our people were all gathered, and over there, the old monsters were also busy gathering, and I don't know what method they were using, trying to gather the bugs together.
A big flood washed everyone here for some reason, and I didn't know what the master was trying to do, but I was thinking about it, but I was caught by something in the water.
I was startled, instinctively kicked, but saw a worm man kicked out of the shallow water by me, and whistled at me again, how did I forget this stubble? Everything was washed out, and of course these bug-man cocoons were among them.
Facing the insect people who pounced, Uncle Hui snorted coldly, and a beautiful flyback kicked them far away again, this thing has no 'special medicine', only Taoism can kill it if it attracts heavenly thunder.
Master said, "It's too close to the mother worm here, these worms will definitely attack, now is not the time to pay attention to these little things, let's go quickly." Grab time with them! ”
After saying that, Master led us to run in the direction of the crowd, of course, in order not to trouble, we naturally ran away from the mother worms, so as not to make these worms crazy. The female insect glows purple in the night, like a big flashlight, and it's hard not to see it.
It was because of the extra attention of the female worm that I couldn't help but take a few more looks, but found a fact that made my stomach twitch, these female worms were washed out of the cave, and the huge mouthparts in their mouths were still holding corpses, these corpses were all female corpses, most of them were mutilated, and the old monsters had gathered the female worms together, and at this moment they began to circle around the female worms, going crazy when dancing, and muttering a mysterious language on their mouths.
After seeing more, I naturally knew that this was a mysterious witchcraft, and I saw that in just an instant, the speed at which those female worms ate the corpse of a woman was much faster, almost similar to swallowing
I couldn't help but retch, and Master said, "Don't look, they're also competing with us for time, hurry up." Otherwise, the consequences will be serious! ”
I don't know who brought a few searchlights from the troops, and after discovering us, the lights followed us all the way, so that we could not run in the dark night, in the flooded valley.
The taste of running in the water was very uncomfortable, and a lot of slippery mud was splashed with every step, and everyone didn't know how many times we fell, but since Master said to rush time, where did we dare to stay, so we could only grit our teeth and run forward.
What's funny is that halfway through the run, I met Wei Shu and Wu Liyu, and the two sides didn't have any extra words, but the master reminded him: "You'd better run out of this valley quickly, wait a minute, this is the big battlefield." ”
Wu Liyu looked embarrassed, and when he heard my master's words, he just snorted, and then said, "Jiang Lichun, do you think I can't see the traces of a big array in this valley?" Hello calculating! But you have to remember, I am not defeated to you, this operation, behind you is the country. Fight with your apprentice, give me a little more time, I"
I found out that Wu Liyu is actually a very long-winded person, and in the face of his persistence in chattering at such a time, my master responded very simply and took us for several meters.
I happened to hear someone in Wei Shu reminding Wu Liyu: "Master, let's go quickly, someone outside will pick us up and let him fight to the death." ”
"I@#%¥" Wu Liyu is still rambling, but I can't hear it clearly, I just secretly think it's funny, it is estimated that this person has been pretending to be serious for a long time, and when he has the opportunity, he can't help but be long-winded.
After running out of the wet and flooded ground, the speed was much faster, and after another ten minutes or so, we finally ran to the place where the crowd was gathering, and I saw that everyone except the troops had arrived.
I understand Master's intentions, although they are special forces belonging to our department, most of them are ordinary people, and they may be exposed to more mysterious events, but the core things are better not to see, just to add trouble to life.
After nearly half an hour of running, my originally wet clothes became a semi-dry state, and after arriving at the destination, I couldn't help but sit on the ground and gasp for breath, it is estimated that the effect of Grandma Ling Qing's insect has passed, and the feeling of exhaustion is like a tide rushing towards me.
But the master didn't have time to catch his breath, so he said to the people, "Hit the searchlight to the mother worm, I want to see the situation." The rest of the people came to lead the formation flag, and prepared to set up the formation according to my command. I've done my best, can I destroy it, and I'll do it! ”
Master is going to set up a big array here? At this time, a person walked to my side, it was Brother Chengxin, who looked tired, looked at me sitting on the ground and gasped, he said: "I drilled around the hole, so tired?" Master and I are tired of arranging in this valley. ”
He was just an unintentional remark, but it caused me to wonder again and again, since we were all going to be washed here by the flood, why did Master take us to the stockade and wander around the cave?
