The deeper you go, the more desolate it becomes, with almost no grass at all.
I walked like this for more than an hour, stepping on the footprints of my predecessors. The soil became softer and softer, and the footprints sank up to my calves. Suddenly, there was a horrified shout, followed by a sharp shout, "Hurry up and wrap it up!"
Lin Xiaoman, who was always paying attention to the movement ahead, saw it clearly.
Like a fish leaping out of water, an earthworm suddenly jumped out from under the ground, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed whole the person closest to it.
A faint scream came from his belly, but there was no movement within three seconds.
Inside the body of the earthworm, there are rows of sharp fangs scattered around. When a person enters the belly of the earthworm, it will be like a crusher.
After crushing the person to pieces and completing the initial digestion, the earthworm quickly plunged into the ground again.
As the earthworms disappeared, the crowd in front was obviously on high alert, holding weapons tightly.
Their weapons are basically divided into two types, one is a gun, and more people hold sickles with long handles.
There is an invisible danger in the quiet air.
"There!" Someone yelled, and sure enough, following his direction, the ground arched, and something huge seemed to be about to break out of the ground.
After confirming the location, several people holding scythes around him immediately gathered around. On that land, the man who felt the vibration of the ground under his feet had a face full of panic, facing a deep fear of death.
Sure enough, less than two seconds after discovering the trace, the earthworm jumped out from that place, and the trembling unlucky guy just ran two steps and was swallowed up.
They rushed there as quickly as possible. The other two people who were close raised their long handles with both hands, and the sickles pierced the earthworm's body.
"I caught him!"
"Shoot quickly!!"
"Shoot!" Li Ge ordered, "Hold still! Hold it!"
After hearing the order, a dozen gunmen began to fire their guns, and a little bit of blue light fell on the earthworm.
It's just obvious that the power of the gun is really weak, and there is an obvious cooling time. After a wave of blue light bullets, the attack stops.
The two people who succeeded first were holding on to the long handles. The damage value of the sickle weapon was obviously not high, and its greater function was to prevent the earthworms from burrowing into the ground and escaping.
But no matter what, the strength of the two people was like the strength of a chicken in front of the earthworm. After digestion, the earthworm struggled to twist its body. After a slight struggle, the two of them were thrown away, like a dog shaking water.
After twisting a few times, the earthworm got rid of the sickle and disappeared into the ground again.
Obviously, the cost of bullets is too high. Only when someone is hooked on the earthworm, Brother Li will give the order to shoot. Due to the cooldown time of the gun, it is impossible to kill him with random shots.
I don’t know whether he was full or whether he was seriously injured and ran away completely. After eating three people and waiting for a full quarter of an hour, the earthworm did not appear again.
Everyone can only move forward again, looking for the next target.
Following along, Lin Xiaoman also saw the trick. A group of people in the hunting team were walking around aimlessly. Once an earthworm jumped out to eat someone, they would first hook it with a sickle. Only if it was hooked, there would be a certain chance of killing it.
Li Ge would only give the order to shoot if he wanted to kill someone.
This gun is really low, and it has a cooldown time of 10 seconds after hitting it.
An earthworm can only be killed if you are lucky and rely on the strength of many people to drag it down so that it cannot penetrate into the ground.
One day, about fifteen people from the entire hundred-man hunting team died, and the result was two earthworms.
A single earthworm weighs four to five hundred kilograms. In addition to the valuable magic crystal, that piece of meat is also a big harvest.
The hunting team had to take prey with them, and with the large number of people, the target was large. Seeing that they had finished their work, Lin Xiaoman and Tian Hao left one step ahead and returned to the base first.
After observing for a day, Lin Xiaoman had an intuitive and basic understanding of earthworms, but there was one thing she really couldn't figure out.
After her observation, among the dozen or so armed men, Brother Li, and several other small bosses, no one was killed or even injured!
Earthworms don't attack them at all!
The predation of earthworms is absolutely random, and the position has no effect at all. There is no "safety if you stand behind" situation.
So, why?
All things are mutually reinforcing each other, there must be something!
Intuitively, Lin Xiaoman suspected it was a medicine, and medicine... Dr. Zhu!
Don’t ask her why, this is an intuitive suspicion as a colleague!
That night, taking advantage of the darkness, Lin Xiaoman quietly went out and sneaked into Dr. Zhu's house, but no one was found.
Thinking of something, Lin Xiaoman went to the warehouse, and sure enough, he found Dr. Zhu and his team in the warehouse where the earthworm's body was stored.
Dr. Zhu, who wears white coat-like clothes and has an old face, is easy to recognize.
Dr. Zhu directed several people to be busy inside. Lin Xiaoman waited for 3 or 4 hours. About late at night, Dr. Zhu left together with a strong man who looked like a team leader.
"Lao Zhu, should we stay and keep an eye on him?"
"Don't worry, they are also experienced. They will definitely be able to do it before setting off tomorrow."
"Well, it's best that way. If there is a delay, Brother Li will blame it, and neither you nor I will suffer."
The two of them lowered their voices and talked while walking. When they reached the dark alley, Lin Xiaoman quickly took action and knocked the strong man unconscious with one palm. At the same time, he pinched Dr. Zhu's neck with one hand and said, "Don't scream, or I'll kill you."
."
Lin Xiaoman imitated a vicious and sinister male voice.
Seeing that his companion was not sure whether he was alive or dead, Dr. Zhu was so frightened that he could only tremble and did not dare to call anyone, "Okay, hero, spare your life!"
"Hand over the medicine to deal with earthworms!"
"What? I don't know." Dr. Zhu pretended to be confused and was horrified. This was their biggest secret weapon in District 7. Could it be that someone had rebelled against Brother Li? Or was it someone from other districts?
"Be honest!" Lin Xiaoman lifted the person up roughly with his hands strong.
"I said, I said..." The person strangled his neck and his feet were hanging in the air. The shadow of death immediately enveloped him. Doctor Zhu immediately begged for mercy in a difficult voice.
"If you dare to lie to me, I will make your life worse than death!"
Continuing to pinch the person, Lin Xiaoman put a fruit knife in Dr. Zhu's lower body with the other hand. Although this is an old man, as long as he is a man, he will not want to be a eunuch.
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Faced with the threat of annihilating his descendants, Dr. Zhu's face turned pale with fright, and his voice trembled as he confessed, "There is a medicine for earthworms. I accidentally researched it a few years ago. As long as you use earthworms,
The blood of earthworms is mixed with black rot grass... The potion prepared in this way, when applied to the body, can cause the earthworms to be repelled, just like we humans will not eat the same kind that is covered with feces. A dosage of about 10 ml can maintain
For about 12 hours, if there are other prey, it will not be attacked."
