In my heart, I was hoping that these beetles would leave quickly, and I was also hoping that these terrible creatures would burn all the foreigners to ashes, so as not to conflict with us again. Besides, it’s hard for Zhang Li and me to do it now.
Fight them.
At this time, I saw an astonishing scene. Those white beetles were gathering more and more. In less than five minutes, they appeared from nowhere and there were thousands of them. What made me even more nervous was that
Suddenly, many beetles suddenly connected end to end in the air and quickly gathered into a large white ball with a huge diameter. Like a strange white flame, they slammed into the position where the foreign devils jumped into the river.
Suddenly, there was a sudden loud noise on the river, water splashed, and water vapor rose. The bodies of those white beetles must have been extremely hot. Hundreds of beetles gathered together, and the heat could be imagined.
However, this method didn't seem to work. The foreign devils underwater probably didn't know where they had dived. There was no movement after the loud noise, and those white beetles seemed to have lost a lot. The water vapor passed away, and the number was much smaller.
I felt happy and sad at the same time. I was happy because it turned out that these white beetles also have their nemesis, which is water. But I was worried because those foreign devils probably jumped into the water and went upstream. We would have to fight fiercely with them in the rest of the journey.
At this time, those white beetles seemed to sense that those people no longer existed, so they flew around the corner of the mountain wall they had just come out of, and disappeared in front of Zhang Li and I. The darkness enveloped the two of us again.
Zhang Li then whispered in my ear: "Yunlong, what should we do now?"
I thought about it secretly, and then said to her: "Wait for a while, wait for those white beetles to go away, and then see if the foreign devils in the river will come out again. Now the two of us go out, no matter what we encounter,
Whether it's a worm or a foreign devil, neither of us can benefit from it."
Zhang Li nodded, and I pulled Zhang Li and climbed onto the shore quietly again, continuing to hide behind the big rock where I had previously hidden myself.
After staying for about ten minutes, we got out of the rushing water. We didn't hear any noise anymore. It seemed that the foreign devils had gone away, and the beetles must have flown to other places. Zhang Li and I
He slowly leaned out, carefully crossed the boulder, and slowly explored forward.
In the pitch-black space, we were like two blind men. Fortunately, with the appearance of those white beetles and foreign devils, at least Zhang Li and I could still walk to the protruding mountain wall.
It was easy for the two of us to touch the spot. I stopped and thought to myself: Should I continue walking forward or turn to the direction where those white beetles flew away? I felt a little hesitant for a while and didn't know how to decide.
At this moment, there was a sudden flash of white light. I looked up and was shocked to see those white beetles flying back along the original path. My scalp exploded and I quickly pulled Zhang Li and ran upstream.
.
In the darkness, the rocks in the ground tripped us up countless times. Our whole legs and arms were in burning pain. They must have been bruised and there must have been a lot of scratches.
I don't know how far I ran until Zhang Li fell down again and refused to get up again. She gasped and said to me with a slight cry: "Yunlong, I can't run anymore."
I put my hands on my hips and gasped, and looked back at the darkness. Those white beetles didn't seem to be following me, so I sat down on the ground, breathlessly nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a rest."
.”
When both of us were breathing a little calmer, I said to Zhang Li: "Do you think it's strange? We have run so far, but we haven't seen Instructor Shui, your master, and the others, and even those who were bitten by the worms
The foreign devils who rushed into the river were nowhere to be found, which is a bit unreasonable. Could it be that they all went downstream?"
Zhang Li said affirmatively: "I saw my master and the others in the water going upstream because they were holding flashlights in their hands. I found you and then we took a breath and entered the water again, so we couldn't see them anymore."
I started to feel something wrong in my heart. Could it be that there is some underwater passage not far away after we entered the water? I mentioned this idea to Zhang Li, and she said uneasily: "Yunlong, if we can't find my master and the others,
, what should we do? Let’s go back to find them, okay? I’m a little scared.”
I touched her little hand in the darkness, held it tightly, and pretended to be relaxed and said to her: "Don't be afraid, where are I? Do you still remember my bravery in fighting the zombie wolf? Don't worry, we will find them.
Yes, now I will go back with you to find them."
Zhang Li gave a soft "Yes", and the two of us stood up, ready to turn back and go back the way we came.
At this moment, a sudden "crash" sound came to our ears from the underground river beside us, followed by a high-pitched curse: "Granny, these thousand-year-old bullshit bugs have made me miserable.
"
Zhang Li and I were overjoyed at the same time. It was Fei Yifan's voice. Then there was the sound of someone coming out of the water. I don't know how I mustered up the courage to pull Zhang Li into my arms in the dark and hugged her hard.
After a moment, he quickly let go, shouted "Senior Fei" and ran towards the shore.
Several people turned on their flashlights at the same time. They were very happy to see Zhang Li and I standing on the shore. Fei Fan shouted in a high-pitched voice: "You bastard, I went into the water and saw Zhang Li pulling this little girl."
You, I thought you two were following us, but who knew we couldn't find you once we landed, which made everyone worried."
At this time, Zhang Li also ran over, shouting "Master" and jumped into the arms of Taoist Master Zengfan. Under the flashlight, I saw that Zhang Li was a little shy in her master's arms.
She turned around and glanced at me. There was a blush on her face, and I felt happy all of a sudden.
At this time, I had a conversation with Fei Yifan and the others, and found out that they had sneaked upstream for a while and then landed on the shore. It turned out that they were on the other side of the underground river. Zhang Li and I
They happened to be separated by an underground river, but they couldn't find each other. At that time, they were afraid of attracting those worms, so they didn't dare to shout loudly. Later, after thinking about it, several people entered the water again and swam to the other side, hoping that they could
When I found the two of us, I didn’t expect that we actually met the right person.
I told them about the Yankees and the many white beetles I encountered, and everyone shook their heads to express that they had not encountered them. Fei Fan gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect these Yankees to still refuse to give up.
I will kill that bastard who uses hypnosis with my own hands."
Taoist Master Zengfan said at this time: "It seems that the reason why we escaped from the temple and did not encounter dire wolves is because these Americans encountered them and killed many dire wolves, which also attracted many white cup insects.
.”
I said: "Yes, look at the number of these gourd worms. Not only did they kill a large number of dire wolves, I'm afraid they also competed with these gourd worms. But these foreigners probably don't know that the gourd worms will transform the more they are hit.
The more people there are, the more they are eventually forced into the underground river by these worms."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Fei Fan said: "Yunlong, how many Americans did you see who jumped into the underground river and are still alive? Where did they appear from?"
I thought for a while and then said: "The exact number of people was not clear because it was too dark here. Judging from the sound of falling into the water, there were probably seven or eight people. The place where they appeared was the protrusion of a mountain wall." As I said that, I walked toward me.
I gave him a general indication of the location on the way to Zhang Li, and then I told him that there were a large number of white beetles in that place.
Fei Fan thought for a while and said: "Yunlong, when we were looking for you just now, we have already reached the end of the upstream, which is an underground waterfall with a height of tens of meters. There are no passages or exits. Looking at it now,
The corner you found may be the exit of this underground canyon. You said there are a lot of beetles there, which seems very dangerous. However, we must take a look."
Taoist Master Zengfan frowned and said: "Fei Yifan, you'd better look at the map again to make sure. The end point upstream has been confirmed to have no exit, but maybe it's downstream? There are many beetles in the place Yunlong mentioned.
If you're not sure, we'd better not take that risk."
Listening to what Taoist Zeng Fan said, it seemed that the white cup worm really left people with lingering fears. The scene of Meng Xingliang and the American being burned by the flames suddenly came to my mind. I quickly said: "Senior Fei
, I think so, if those white cup worms don’t leave that location, we really don’t dare to go there.”
Fei Fan sneered and said: "In our industry, there is a lot of knowledge that you can't know and understand. There are many things to pay attention to in ancient underground tombs or buildings. This underground river appears near the underground buildings, which is called Feng Shui tombology.
For "dragon", the source is the dragon's head, the landing point is the dragon's tail, and the middle section is the "dragon body". Whether it is a tomb or an underground palace, it will only be built at the dragon's head or the dragon's body, which means it will not be built downstream.
The purpose is to prevent the water from flowing out due to geological changes, flooding and destroying tombs or buildings. Therefore, there is almost no possibility of the exit being downstream. Now that we have looked upstream, there is no exit or building, so we can only find it in the middle section.
They came to find a way out. The appearance of those Americans may be an indication that they found the exit, but they were driven back by numerous worms."
After hearing Fei Yifan's analysis, Taoist Master Zengfan and all of us fell silent.
Fei Fan spread his hands and said angrily: "I also know which cup worms are terrible. I just came to this conclusion based on my many years of experience. It is up to everyone to decide whether to go to that place or not. I, too, do
I know my identity, just a consultant."
Instructor Shui quickly said: "Senior Fei, don't get me wrong. I asked you to come forward for this mission because you are an expert and authoritative in this field. We guys also asked you because we don't understand. Don't be offended."
Fei Fan snorted coldly and said nothing more.
At this time, Taoist Master Zengfan chuckled and said slowly: "Fei Yifan, your temper and temperament when you were young have not changed at all now. I just questioned you, but you got full of complaints, what's the matter?
Do you want me to apologize to you?"
Fei Yifan said "hehe" twice: "I don't dare. Taoist Master is a respected Taoist master in the contemporary era, and enjoys high-level courtesy from the government. I, Fei Yifan, am a local master with a notorious reputation. How dare you, Taoist Master, give me this gift?"
I apologize."
Taoist Master Zengfan suddenly said in a cold tone: "Fei Yifan! What are you talking about? When did I, Zengfan, ever look down on you? You actually said such a thing?"
We young people were all a little confused at this time. Fei Yifan and Taoist Master Zengfan, both dozens of years old, could still have such hot tempers and even start to quarrel when they disagreed.
When Fei Fan heard Taoist Master Zengfan's tone becoming cold and hard, he strangely closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Instructor Shui quickly said: "Senior Fei, Uncle Master, in fact, both of you are trying to find an exit and complete the task. Senior Fei's analysis is professional, and Uncle Master's concerns are common sense. Now based on Senior Fei's experience and knowledge,
It is judged that the place Yunlong and Zhang Li found is very likely to be the next exit. Even though it is dangerous, we all have to take a look, but we all have to be extremely careful."
At this time, Taoist Master Zengfan also said softly: "Fei Yifan, can you change the bad temper you often had when you were young? You can tell me what to do next and what to pay attention to."
Fei Fan snorted and said slowly: "I have had this bad temper for decades. I would have changed it long ago. Why wait until now? Forget it, let me tell you, those white cup worms are dynamic creatures.
After thousands of years of dormancy, once they wake up, they will definitely fly around, looking for attack targets. Now they may not necessarily stay in that place all the time. We all just need to be careful, keep an eye on the six directions and listen on all directions, not to mention there are underground rivers for protection.
.The danger is definitely there, but as long as we warn in advance and be careful, it won't be a big problem. Looking at it now, the exit should be at that place, and we have no choice."
Instructor Shui said at the right time: "Yes, Senior Fei is right. Those beetles have light and the sound of flapping wings. We can detect the danger early. Moreover, if that is the exit, we have no choice. We must
We have to get through there. Now without further ado, let’s all continue on our way.”
Fei Yifan nodded and said: "The light of the flashlight is a temptation or a guide for those bugs. Let's turn off the flashlight now and walk forward in the dark. Although it will be slower and the road is not easy to walk, it is safe and secure."
In comparison, it’s nothing.”
Everyone agreed, so they all turned off their flashlights, and the entire space instantly turned dark again. I whispered: "Zhang Li and I walked this way, and I can feel the general location of that place.
I'm walking in front."
Fei Yifan said "yes", so I groped my way to the front, and everyone followed one after another and walked forward slowly.
