This discovery made everyone vigilant. The locals had long said that this mountain range was full of dangers. They had lived at the foot of the mountains for generations, but they did not have the courage to step into this restricted area.
Because those who had the courage to come in have already died on the way.
The insect corpses and the escaping aroma in front of me were unsettling. Brother Sun made a quick decision and shouted loudly: "Go quickly, get out of here first!"
"good!"
The eleven people no longer conserved their energy and moved quickly in the predetermined direction. Yu Xing tightened his backpack and walked in the forefront at a speed that impressed the team members.
We are all people with certain experience, especially in shady careers, which gives them a keener sense of danger than ordinary people.
Strange, aggressive insects emit fragrance after death, which undoubtedly has only two consequences.
1. This kind of fragrance is harmful to the human body, that is, it is poisonous gas or hallucinogenic gas.
Two, this is the signal sent by the gray bug to its companions.
No matter which one it is, it seems that their team has caused a lot of trouble, and just sitting there and waiting for death is courting death.
Ai Li couldn't work while moving fast. She took back the syringe that she intended to use for local anesthesia and patted Ade who was sweating coldly: "I have to leave first and move to a safe place before I treat you. If you feel any discomfort on the way, tell me immediately.
"
Adé reluctantly responded. He was a little uneasy, and then told himself that it was because he had been poisoned by an unknown toxin, so he was full of doubts and he had to keep a calm mind.
Furthermore, he himself cannot actually see the wound on the back of his neck. So far, he can move freely and has no other discomfort except for the itchiness of the wound. This is good news.
Recommended, [ app ] is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
The team ran forward non-stop for two kilometers. Everyone was soaked with sweat. Even the naturally cool mountain environment could not save them.
Because it’s still more boring in the mountains and forests than in the city.
The same goes for Yu Xing. He is now equivalent to an ordinary person with good physical fitness. His perception of hot and cold environment is no different from other people. His bangs are already wet and form clusters on his forehead. Brother Sun announced that the original
When he was resting on the ground, he sat down on the ground and shook his hair like a dog shaking water, so that he could feel some air.
Brother Sun was also tired. While panting, he unloaded his equipment and sat on the bulging tree root: "This place is some distance away from the place just now. I guess there is no danger for the time being. Rest where you are! After all, what is the insect?
We don’t know what’s weird. Please be careful and don’t get bitten again. Aili, look at Ade’s injuries quickly.”
This time, the team members were not in the mood to go around and watch. They each looked for a place to sit down and drank water to replenish their fluids. Only Brother Sun came to Ade and watched.
Yu Xing thought about it for a while. He was a little concerned about the insect, so he went over to it.
At Ade's wound, the green-black color entangled like tree roots actually extended a lot in a short period of time, which looked very scary.
Ai Li frowned. She had never seen such a toxin. After the anesthesia was gone, she took out a knife and sterilized it in the flame of a lighter, and then said: "I'm going to cut the wound and bleed, please bear with it."
“Didn’t you get anesthesia?” Ade looked ashamed.
“Don’t you still feel pain after the anesthesia is over? I told you not to do it in advance.” Ai Li was not angry. Fortunately, her hand was steady. With her around, Ade felt a lot more at ease.
Yu Xing watched coldly and saw Ai Li cut a small cross with a knife and cut open the small red dot. Suddenly, dark black blood flowed out, and the black and blue entangled under the skin began to shrink.
Brother Sun and Aili both breathed a sigh of relief. This is a good sign. It means that after the poisonous blood is drained, the poison will be eliminated and there will be no sequelae. This kind of poison is the best cure. Aili also joked: "Dark black
, this poison is too strong."
She stretched out her hand: "Towel."
Yu Xing took the towel out of her opened bag and handed it to her.
Ai Li wiped and caught the black blood that flowed out with a towel to prevent it from getting on her clothes and rubbing against her skin, causing infection.
Brother Sun comforted Ade: "It's not a difficult poison to deal with. It will be cured soon."
The other team members were relieved when they heard this. They didn't know how many such bugs there were nearby. They were all very happy to get the news that "the bugs are not harmful", but Ade should have been the happiest one.
But for some reason, when Aili released the poisonous blood, all the strength in his body also disappeared.
He began to feel dizzy, and something seemed to be blocked in his throat, making him unable to make a sound. He grabbed Yu Xing's arm in panic.
Yu Xing knew from his look that this matter was not over, and he immediately asked: "Are you okay?"
"I..." Ade murmured, "Help..."
Ai Li was surprised to notice this change. Before she could do anything, the poisonous blood had completely flowed out.
Soon, a scent that was exactly the same as that of the insect corpse came out from the open wound.
“F*ck!!” Brother Sun uttered an expletive. Why were they running in such a hurry just now? Wasn’t it just to leave the place covered in fragrance?
The fact is that the bite wound will either be allowed to extend, causing uncontrollable consequences, or it will emit a strange smell, just like insect corpses?
Then there is no way to avoid it.
Brother Sun said solemnly: "You can't escape this scent, so everyone is on alert. We must always pay attention to whether anything is attracted to us when we move forward."
Ad is in a very bad condition. The poisonous blood is gone, and the others have lost their vitality. He sits there blankly with a pale face, not responding to other people's voices.
"Oops, I'm afraid the most powerful thing about this bug is not the poison that infects the blood, but the mental toxin! It destroyed a certain part of Ade's nervous system." Aili gritted her teeth and took out a few medicines that Yu Xing couldn't understand and injected them.
Inside Ade's body, Ade quickly fell asleep.
“Everyone, please be careful not to be touched by bugs. It is better to kill the bugs than to be bitten.” As a doctor, everyone would listen to what Ai Li said, and everyone nodded in agreement.
“What should Ade do now?” Shijiu asked.
"First... take him with you first. I will try my best to find a solution while carrying him on my back. When he wakes up later, I will know whether the medicine I injected just now is effective." Ai Li looked at Brother Sun hesitantly, "Okay.
Take his with you, right?"
"How about bandaging him up first? Then find something with a strong smell and put it on his bandage. This kind of fragrance can cover it up for a while." Aaron spoke in his gentle accent.
proposal.
Aili nodded and followed the instructions, hoping that the scent would not attract anything too soon.
There is a saying that goes well, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will get it.
They hadn't rested for five minutes when Yu Xing heard a buzzing sound keenly.
The sound was very small, as if it came from far away, but it was so dense that it sounded like a cluster.
The most horrifying thing is that Yu Xing heard the same sound of vibrating insect wings just before the death of the dead insect!
Here comes the swarm of insects!
Yu Xing immediately stood up and called out to everyone: "The swarm of insects is coming, run away!"
Brother Sun, Finley and Shijiu also had good ears. The three of them quickly stood up and greeted the others, identified the direction of the insect swarm, and ran in the opposite direction.
“There is a river a few hundred meters ahead, let’s go there first.” Brother Sun directed while looking at the map.
Ad was handed over to Hulu Huluq to be carried on his back. Their backpacks were carried by two team members respectively. A group of people ran towards the river on the map.
Yu Xing ran in the middle, and the buzzing behind him became louder and louder. As he got closer, he felt how numb these vibrations were. He could tell just by listening to the sound that there were at least two
Hundreds of bugs are chasing them!
It’s really outrageous... Is this a differentiated investigator game? Is it so exciting from the get-go?
Those bugs are easy to deal with alone, but if the swarm of bugs attracted after death sticks to a person... the poison will probably make the person's whole body turn black and die instantly.
Insect swarms can fly faster than human legs, not to mention the undeveloped deep forest. The tangled tree roots on the ground, the scattered stones, and even the bones of certain creatures may trip them up. They must fight.
A spirit of 120,000.
When the team saw the river, they were less than fifty meters away from the swarm of insects behind them. The insects did not crowd together, but chased them slightly scattered. They were so big that at first glance they looked like a giant.
Blockbuster.
Scar glanced back, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.
“Quickly, unload the bag and jump into the river!” Brother Sun made a quick decision.
They dropped their packages one after another and jumped into the water like arrows. At this time, no one cared whether the river was dry or not. They went in so hard that they almost drank two gulps into their stomachs.
Yu Xing only threw away his bag and the painting tube was waterproof. He jumped into the river with the painting tube and opened his eyes in the water to look at the river.
This river is not deep, only a little over one meter. Everyone can squat down and soak their whole bodies in it. And the good news is that since there is no human intervention, the water quality is very clear. Yu Xing also saw a few fish that are not afraid of death??
Swim past his legs.
The swarm of insects quickly flew to the river and wandered on the surface.
Through the clear water, Yu was lucky enough to be able to see the pointed mouthparts of the insects. They were like a combination of mosquitoes and flies, except that flies were not one-fifth as big as them, and mosquitoes also sucked blood instead of spitting out venom.
In fact, they will jump into the river because the method of coping with being chased by bees is ingrained in their minds. Basically, all flying insects are not afraid of water. When encountering swarms of flying insects, if there is a water source nearby, it is a life-saving method.
Everyone was holding their breath under the water. They had all learned to swim for exploring, so it was not difficult to hold their breath. Everyone was guessing in their minds when these insects would leave.
Yu Xing didn’t know what this kind of bug was called, so he decided to give them a beautiful name: Big Gray Worm.
The big gray worms seemed to be very aggressive. Some even tried to cross the water, but these few failed to succeed. After their wings were wet, they could not fly and struggled in the water and drowned.
When the other insects saw their miserable fate, they all became frightened and showed signs of retreating.
The peculiar fragrance on Ade's body was also blocked under the water. The insects buzzed around for a while, found it boring, and finally left.
"Ha..." The team stood up and floated to the water above their chests. They breathed greedily to relieve the dizziness caused by lack of oxygen in front of them. No one noticed that Yu Xing was able to do it with ease.
He had eaten water ghost Shiwei before.
After that, his breath-holding time became very ridiculous. Even if it was weakened, it would not be impossible for him to hold his breath for three or four minutes.
Everyone changed for a while and suddenly shouted: "It's over, Ade!"
Ade was brought into the water together when he was unconscious. He could not hold his breath on his own. He stayed in the water for more than three minutes...
They looked at Ade, who was lying on the ground without sound, with a sad look on his face. Brother Sun waved with a dark face: "Quick, first aid!"
Ai Li immediately held up Ade's head to keep his trachea open, then sat astride him and started to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. While she was doing it, she said to Yu Xing, who was nearest: "Please help with artificial respiration."
Yu Xing: "..." Sorry, Schrödinger's mysophobia suddenly started at this time.
Finley didn't wait for Yu Xing to speak, he pushed him away with a look of disdain, knelt down next to Ade, and while cooperating with Ai Li, he also uttered a taunt: "Oh, you are counting on him?"
This time, Yu Xing felt very grateful for his ridicule, so he did not sit idle, squatted down, looked at Finley and whispered: "Come on, come on, come on."
Finley: “…” Damn, you’re so damn sick.
Fenli looked away at Yu Xing. Yu Xing didn't have any objections. He silently walked to the place where he had just thrown his backpack and picked up his own bag. Others also came over and got their equipment.
This time it was a near miss, thanks to the existence of the river, but everyone finally had an intuitive understanding of the dangers of these mountains.
"According to experience, the closer you get to the tomb, the more moths there will be." Shijiu breathed in, wiping the water stains on his head, and looked at Aili and Finley who were rescuing people over there, "Everyone, please be careful.
, this is the first mountain, there are two more behind it.”
"Isn't that right? I saw it before. On Brother Sun's map, there is a big blank area in the tomb palace. Even if we get to the third mountain, we still have to find the entrance to the tomb palace. Oops.
It’s so uncomfortable just thinking about it!” As soon as Aaron spoke, everyone got goosebumps, as if they had already felt the discomfort.
Luke sighed: "What can I say? There are some very evil things in front of every tomb. Sometimes I would rather encounter zombies, ghosts and mechanisms underneath than face these mutated beasts and insects of nature."
Brother Sun did not participate in this meaningless discussion. He looked at Ade lying on the ground and suddenly asked: "Shijiu, when your people visited the site to investigate, did they not encounter this kind of insect?"
As soon as he said these words, everyone fell silent.
Yes, the first people to check out the sites were all Shijiu people, and the map was drawn, so how could they not encounter any insects?
Then if Shijiu knew about the existence of this insect, why didn’t he warn them earlier?
Facing the questioning looks of the crowd, Shijiu said helplessly, "When we came here to visit the site before, we only took some aerial photos from an airplane, and combined with legends and historical data, we deduced the general scope of the tomb. You didn't see it on the map?"
Are all routes intermittent?”
She sighed: "There are no roads in such a big mountain. They are all stitched together based on some roads confirmed by aerial photography that are barely walkable. In other words, as long as you are willing, you can just change the road and walk casually. Anyway, the tomb
The palace area won’t move, so where can’t I reach it with a compass?”
What you say makes sense.
Yu Xing glanced at Shijiu and spoke for her: "She is right. Machine inspections and on-site inspections are completely different. At this time, don't doubt your teammates. It will not be good for the next action."
Brother Sun was silent, and after two seconds he suddenly smiled apologetically: "Haha, yes, I got into trouble. I'm sorry, Shijiu, I apologize to you."
Shijiu waved his hands carelessly and walked towards Ai Li with everyone. Yu Xing followed behind and found that Shijiu made a very subtle gesture of thanks to him.
A suspicion was nipped in the cradle, but Ade's situation was not optimistic. Ellie was already very tired. Suddenly, just when Finley took another breath, Ade reacted.
He said "wow" and his mouth was filled with blood.
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly gathered around to check, only to smell the strange fragrance in the blood.
…”
"No, he is hopeless." Ai Li shook her head sadly and explained to the stunned people, "The black blood at the beginning was just a disguise. The real poison was very cunning, and it penetrated into Ade's body under the disguise."
Internal organs, I lost the best time for treatment."
