The insect man was very fast. After I knocked Andrew away, I had no time to dodge again. Almost at the same moment, he had already come to my side, and opened his arms covered with white wireworms.
He looks like he wants to take me into his arms.
Hundreds of white bugs were intertwined together, so densely packed that it was hard to tell who was who, except that each one was slowly squirming.
My scalp felt like it was about to explode, and I felt like my stomach was churning violently, almost making me sick. At this moment, I couldn't help but feel grateful that my stomach was empty.
The insect man's hands were about to catch my face. Although I knew that my reaction was much slower than it, I still reflexively stepped back. As expected, the insect man had an attitude of fighting to the death to advance and retreat with me.
, so after a lot of fighting, I still couldn't get out of the range of the insect man's outstretched arms. I thought to myself: This is really going to be over.
The words "Lao Li, I'm coming to accompany you" almost came out of my mouth.
However, the next scene in front of us made several of us stunned at the same time. The insect man seemed to be trying his best to control himself from hurting me. His hands were frozen in mid-air, and the wireworms holding them were shaking.
He only stretched his neck in my direction, but the insect-man's body remained motionless.
I immediately seized the opportunity and rolled out from under the insect man's arm.
The moment I escaped from the arms of the insect man, I immediately understood that Lao Li was helping us.
I shouted to Zhang Jisheng, who was still standing aside: "Hurry up and rescue Xiangyu with Andrew, and I'll lure the bugs away."
Zhang Jisheng seemed to wake up all of a sudden. He ran to Andrew's side, but he was at a loss. He didn't know how to save Xiangyu. After all, the beams were so high, and there was no furniture in the room that could raise the height.
In the final analysis, he is just a weak archeology professor.
However, I couldn't care so much at this moment. I raised my arm and took a hard bite. Suddenly, my mouth was filled with the smell of blood.
My bite was so hard that the marks were deep and blood dripped down my arm.
The iron worm smelled the smell of blood, and squirmed rapidly as if it had been injected with adrenaline. The insect man's face was extremely distorted, showing an expression of pain that could not be described in words.
At the same time, Xiangyu, who was hanging on the beam, seemed to wake up, but she didn't seem to know her situation. She moved and slid down from the beam.
I couldn't care less and ran outside the house, thinking in my mind that I would lure the insect man away and give Xiangyu a chance to survive.
Following the smell of blood, the iron worm also controlled the insect man to move out quickly following the blood stains on the ground.
After I rushed out of the house, I ran down the stairs without thinking much.
I don’t know if it was because of the rapid movement, but the wound I bitten on my arm seemed to have cracked open, and the blood flowed down like water flowing from the gate. The insect man behind me was probably
Because of the nourishment of blood, those iron worms seemed to become much stronger all of a sudden. The remaining obsession of Lao Li was no match for them at all. His body has now become a complete puppet, allowing him to be controlled by others.
At the mercy of iron worms.
I feel that it has been several hours since I entered the bottom of Poyang Lake. I have exercised excessively in these few hours and have not replenished any energy. Therefore, I was already exhausted. Now I am running up such a steep staircase with bloody hands.
After a while, my physical strength was severely exhausted, and I was panting so much that it felt like my lungs were about to be spit out. If it weren't for my strong will to survive, I should be lying limply on the ground now, instead of almost being like this now.
All the motor cells in this life have been stimulated.
However, even if I tried my best, the distance between us has become smaller and smaller as the bug-men behind me are chasing after me. Now it feels like we are no longer at arm's length from me.
What should I do? If this continues, I will definitely not be able to outrun the insect man. Even if I can outrun him, my heart is beating loudly and my eyes are wandering around, trying to see if there is any hiding place.
At this critical moment, next to the stairs where I was, another house with a similar appearance to the room where I just made the rattan horse appeared.
As if I had seen the savior, I opened the carved wooden door without any thought and hid inside.
Just when I locked the door in my room, the insect man also chased me to the door. It felt like I was just one finger away from him and he could follow me into the house.
Fortunately, fortunately.
I was half-bent, holding my hands on my knees, breathing heavily while feeling grateful in my heart.
However, I was too happy after all, because after a while, the sound of insects chewing on the door leaf came from the other side of the door.
My God, this is so haunting.
According to the current trend of wireworms chewing on the door leaf, this house will fall in less than ten minutes. At that time, I will be like a turtle in a jar, just waiting for the wireworms to feast on me.
I was sweating profusely, and the wetsuit was covered in sweat and stuck to my skin, making it unbearably hot.
The more anxious I became, the less I could think of a solution. At this moment, I was already a little bit complaining that I had just acted like a hero, but I obviously didn’t have that much courage.
At this time, the fire fold in my hand suddenly flashed, and it felt like the oil was running out. It was coming up again and again. I felt like I couldn't hold back anymore and called my grandfather, father, and even Chen Mo.
However, such a flash of fire broke my mind a little bit away from this room. This room was full of jars, and it felt like a wine cellar.
I don’t know if there is any alcohol in these jars and how strong the alcohol is. If it is strong alcohol, then these things are deadly killers for wireworms and can be used to deal with them.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but approach the dozens of jars piled in the corner, and then picked up a jar from above.
The mouth of the wine jar was actually sealed with glutinous rice mixed with lime. Seeing this, and the weight of my hands when I just held the wine jar, I was actually 70 to 80% sure that there was wine in the jar, and it should be.
It's hard liquor.
I prayed silently in my heart: God bless me, my life and death depend on this wine jar.
The glutinous rice mixed with lime powder made the seal very hard. I looked around and saw that there was an Eight Immortals table in the center of the room, with a coarse porcelain bowl placed on each side of the Eight Immortals table.
I walked up and picked up a big bowl, and then smashed it against the mouth of the wine jar. The coarse porcelain bowl only collided with the wine jar, and broke into several pieces and fell to the ground, which even cut me.
A finger, but at this moment I have to save my life, these small injuries are not noticeable at all.
In the face of life and death, people are persistent. I didn't give up. I picked up the low bench on the ground and continued to smash it. I hit it probably two or three times. The sticky rice-lime board that sealed it finally cracked. I couldn't care less.
His finger was cut, and he didn't know where he got the strength to break open the glutinous rice lime slab.
Instantly, a strong aroma of wine hit my nostrils, and then filled the entire room.
However, I didn't have time to taste the aroma of the wine, so I hurriedly moved down several more wine jars, opened all their seals according to the method just now, and then waited for the bugs to break in.
This process took about half an hour. Just after I moved all the opened wine jars onto the Eight Immortals table, the carved wooden door finally couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed with a "snap".
The insect man crawled in impatiently, and he couldn't wait to lie down on it and suck at the blood on the ground.
This was a great opportunity. I quickly lifted up a wine jar and poured it on the insect man.
Just like we were exploding something, we only heard a "cheep" sound, and a cloud of white smoke came out of the insect man's body, mixed with a disgusting fishy smell.
At this moment, I no longer had any thoughts to see the Insect Man's reaction, nor did I have the extra energy to pay attention to my taste, smell, and vision. I only knew that jar after jar of wine kept pouring on the Insect Man until he stood on the Eight Immortals Table.
The wine jars on the table are gone.
There was only a puddle of wine left on the ground, and the iron worms and Lao Li's body were all dissolved by the strong wine.
I was holding on to the Eight Immortals Table, but I still couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground.
The wine, together with the compound of iron worms and old Li's bones, flowed around the room, and a smell mixed with the aroma of wine, fishy smell, and blood filled my nostrils.
I couldn't bear it any longer, and with a "wow" sound, I vomited out a puddle of yellow water.
