57. Super worms
The space in the dark cave is huge, as far as the eye can see, there are ancient mountains, we walked cautiously, and then even the flat surface became potholes, it should be caused by no one to trim it, there seemed to be light in front of us, and soon walked to the place of light source, there were two holes in front of us, divided into two different directions, which gave us a problem, which way to choose?
I said, "Otherwise, let's draw lots, and which one to take." ”
"Why use this method, there is light and no light on the two roads in front of us, is it necessary to hesitate? Of course, it's the path of light? Qiu Zongyun said.
"There is light is not necessarily peaceful, we have a kind of fireflies there, that is, we use light to hook mosquitoes and eat them, there are so many strange things in this hole, we can't easily believe these things that can be seen in our eyes." I said.
"There may not be light, but there is a suspicion, and more tricks are hidden in the dark." That being said, Qiu Zongyun still walked towards the entrances with faint light sources, both of which were located in the center of the stone wall
When we entered, we found that the space inside was not as wide as the outside, only more than one person tall, and we were half-bent over to avoid touching the top of our heads.
The environment here is the real sense of the cave, but I don't know whether this kind of cave is artificially excavated or naturally formed, gradually we get closer and closer to the light source, and soon I found that the luminous body does not come from the sunlight outside the cave, but after walking through a stone cave road, at this time in our eyes is a row of things similar to silkworm chrysalis that grow on both sides of the cave, but this chrysalis is about one person more than one person high, much larger than the silkworm chrysalis, and the white chrysalis reveals a bright yellow light, like a fluorescent lamp with a low wattageAlthough the light emitted by a chrysalis is minimal, the white chrysalis here is estimated to be at least a thousand all the way down, which makes my scalp tingle and itchy all over.
Qiu Zongyun said: "These two things are too simple, so easy for me to find a place to raise insects, this is a wormhole." ”
Before the words fell, I saw a milky white slender thing in the gap between the two rows of eggs, and I only felt a burst of nausea, Qiu Zongyun said: "This thing should only be a part of the insect body." ”
Before he finished speaking, the thing had reached the position of the last row of insect eggs, which was a yellow pipe similar to a fire hose, and the bottom was a circular opening, at this time, the whole tube was full of transparent mucus, and then the insect eggs appeared in the tube in turn and slowly slid towards the "exit", I said: "Let's catch up with the insects to give birth." ”
Then the eggs came out one by one, and fell to the ground with a snapping sound, the eggs that just lay out were not too big, the volume was about the same as an ostrich egg, but it didn't take long after coming into contact with the air to quickly expand as if it was injected into the air, and the two eggs were a group to push each other against both sides of the cave wall, extending in turn, and we could not only slowly exit towards the hole.
We have no other way to go back to the big cave, only to enter another cave, only to find that although there is no clear light source in this cave, but it is not black, we can't see the five fingers, this hole seems relatively gray, we can even see our own shadow obliquely on the cave wall, but where does the light source come from? Could it be that there are eggs here too?
Soon we found out where the light source was, it was a green ghost fire emitted by a cluster of white bones, in this narrow stone cave there were human or animal bones, gradually the terrain in the cave began to rise, and the distance between the bottom and the top of the cave became smaller and smaller, and then we could only crawl forward, I already felt dry mouth, and after a while all kinds of "physiological needs" would come one after another, if I didn't find a way out in a limited time, I would collapse in such a claustrophobic space.
"There are two ways to go, one is to move forward, and the other is to go back. What do you see? Qiu Zongyun asked us.
"Life and death go all the way to the dark, there is no plan to do things in this kind of place, let's go all the way." I said, so far, there is only one way to go.
"Okay, then let's go all the way." After that, Qiu Zongyun continued to crawl forward, I followed all the way, and after climbing for a long time, I could see the exit at the end of the cave, and our spirits were lifted, and we couldn't help but speed up.
As the exit got closer and closer, my heart became more and more nervous, Qiu Zongyun took the lead to the entrance of the cave, only to see him cautiously stick out his head and glance at me, and whispered to me: "Move lightly." ”
Climbed out of this narrow hole, we are still a hole, this big cave is endless, but this hole is relatively normal, the size of the hole area, flat and smooth ground, the most happy thing is that there is a wooden door inlaid on the opposite wall, since there is this building it means that we must have made a right choice, but from the current situation, we still need to do one last thing from victory, That is, there are three elements in the open space between our foothold and the wooden door, respectively, a golden metal jar, the jar is cylindrical, the size is about the same size as the rural family water tank, there are six holes on the lid at the top, it seems to be an incense burner, with this jar as the baseline, on the left is a thick and long milky white insect that resembles a white silkworm, although the silkworm baby is a very cute bug, but the huge silkworm baby makes people feel terrifying, and part of its tail is stuck in the mountain, I've seen the eggs in the cave before, all of which are its offspring.
On the right side of the incense burner was the corpse of the boy lying on the ground, and the huge worm was in an attacking posture at the moment, and it seemed that he could swallow him at any time and anywhere, while the girl was gone, and it was estimated that she had been swallowed by this fat worm, and these so-called "corpse medicine leads" were used to feed the worms.
Qiu Zongyun did not hesitate to pull out the flashlight on his body and threw it at the worm's head, but this time it was like a defeat, the worm just shook its head slightly, I flew into the boy's corpse and dragged it back, the worm suddenly let out a roar at me, I was dragging the corpse, I didn't have time to block my ears, the eardrum suddenly seemed to be filled with air, I felt swollen and painful, and my consciousness became blurred, and then I saw drops of blood on the corpse's face, this is not from my nose, It flows from my eyes or ears.
The shape of the worm's entire body seemed to be about to attack us, Qiu Zongyun said with a smile: "Daoist Yang, this insect is the insect king, and the key to whether the insect master is powerful is whether the insect he raises is spiritual." ”
I heard him speak vaguely, and I guess my eardrum was hurt: "But the body of such a big insect is soft, where should we start?" ”
"It's very easy to kill such a bug, but I'm not here to get rid of the pest." At this point he asked me, "Brother, can you do me a favor, I want you to attract the attention of the bugs." ”。
"How to attract?".
"I see you're very agile, just lose it two moves in this hole, it only takes a few minutes."
"What? Fight it in such a big cave? ”。
"Yes, you just have to hold on for a few minutes."
I couldn't refuse this, because before he could say anything, the worm shook his head and spit out a mouthful of shiny, sticky liquid, and I jumped to my feet, and this time I was more flustered, and I hit my head the top of the cave, almost fainting.
Falling on the ground and touching the head of the egg big pimple, this insect shook its body, and pulled it at me fiercely, I climbed up with my back against the stone wall, the insect pumped on the ground and made a loud sound, and the gravel shot up, I glanced at Qiu Zongyun in my busy schedule, only to see him put the boy's body face up and insert a strange-shaped nail in him, and then said to me: "It's done, you go into the hole first." ”。
I crawled into the hole in the stone wall with my hands and feet, but the bug's attention did not divert from me, but followed me directly into the hole.
