The words of the uncle who led the way basically came true. There are indeed many black bones under the White Tiger Ridge. Now that insects and birds are not allowed to enter, and crows stand on the trees and crow, evil spirits are swarming around the mountain. This sentence needs to be confirmed at night.
Entering the black area, a cold wind suddenly hit, and people shivered unconsciously. Some people accidentally touched the black bones. For a moment, the black bones seemed to have a chain reaction, but they began to tremble violently, and the bones collided.
Together, they make a banging sound.
Immediately afterwards, white bugs quickly crawled out of the corpses. Those bugs were densely packed and instantly covered the black bones. The originally black ground turned white for a while. There were so many white bugs that it was impossible to step down, and they became increasingly dense.
More and more came, like a wave, pouring out of those black bones.
"Everyone, be careful, this is a bone-rotting insect..." the sloppy Taoist warned.
Bone rot worms are only the size of fingernails, but they are social insects, just like ants. They have strong reproductive capabilities and grow very fast. The queen is responsible for laying eggs in the nest every day. The eggs hatch in five or six days, and half of them are
You can join the insect army every month.
One bug poses no threat to people, but if there are too many of them, that's another matter. If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant, let alone these bugs.
Bone rotting insects mainly survive by chewing on corpses, which is why no animals dare to enter here, because after coming here, they will be used as nourishment for bone rotting insects, and now Xiao Yu and his group are the same.
Xiao Yu and others quickly retreated, trying to keep a distance from the bone rot worms, but the bone rot worms started to gather towards Xiao Yu and the others like a layer of white water waves.
"Huh, looking for death."
A Taoist snorted coldly, took out two talismans, and quickly threw them out. The talismans flew out, turned into a flame, and landed among the rotting bones. For a while, only a crackling sound was heard. The rotting bones were burned by the flames and immediately
After breaking into pieces, the rotten bone worms were suddenly in chaos, their progress slowed down, and then they began to retreat slowly.
Seeing that this move was effective, several Taoists took out their talismans and threw them in all directions. The raging fire spread all around. The bone rotting insects immediately fled in panic and entered the bones in an instant. The white insects that were originally like a wave,
They disappeared in the blink of an eye, as fast as a well-trained army of insects.
"Light the torch, everyone, be careful where you step."
The Taoist priest hurriedly gave instructions, then picked up a stick, wrapped a rag on it, poured some animal fat on the rag, lit it, and walked forward with a torch.
Xiao Yu and others also lit torches and followed Taoist Master Ou and others, observing the surroundings as they walked, for fear of being suddenly surrounded by bone rotting insects.
The dark forest was unusually quiet, and the crows that had been croaking on the branches had no sound.
At the back of the team, a Taoist held a torch and carefully followed the crowd. After he passed by, some white carrion insects emerged from the dark bones again.
The bone rot insects were silent on the ground, but their speed was extremely fast. When they ran to the feet of the last Taoist, they quickly jumped on the Taoist's shoes, and then entered the Taoist's trousers.
One, two, three, one bone rot worm entered the Taoist's trousers one after another, and the white bone rot worms behind were more like a carpet, rushing towards this side.
Suddenly, the Taoist stopped and slapped himself on the back of the head. Then his whole body suddenly jumped, his eyes instantly turned dark, and then he fell to the ground with a thud.
The moment the Taoist fell to the ground, he was covered in white rotten bones. In less than a minute, the Taoist was reduced to a pile of pitch-black skeletons.
"Old Chen, be careful behind you..."
The Taoist who was walking second to last had just said a word of warning when he suddenly heard a rumble from behind, like something falling to the ground, which made him turn his head instantly.
There was no one behind him, there was only a pile of snow-white carrion worms wrapped around something, and there were still bone carrion worms rushing towards him.
"The bone rot worms are coming and killing people...".
The second-to-last Taoist shouted, and then ran forward quickly. The other Taoists also stopped instantly and looked back at the scene behind them.
A pitch-black skeleton fell under a big tree, with no clothes left on it, and the white bone rotting insects disappeared instantly, as if the scene just now had not happened.
Everyone felt their scalps numb and their hearts a little frightened. They unconsciously began to observe their surroundings, as if they were afraid that this incident would happen to them.
The Taoist priest had a sullen face, looked at it from a distance, and then said solemnly, "Those walking behind should walk back to back, and they will be fine after passing this section."
Only this time, as soon as Taoist Master Ou finished speaking, the bone rotting insects that had disappeared once again poured out from all sides, and the number was even greater than the first time.
Because everyone in this group has already reached the middle of the woods, and it is too late to get out. The snow-white carrion insects can't see the end at a glance. It seems that they are the sky here and the king here. No living thing can be taken from them.
Escape from there.
Xiao Yu looked at those bone rot worms with a solemn expression, standing back to back with Lao Bai and others. The situation is very critical now. If you don't pay attention, someone in your team will turn into a pile of black bones, so you have to find a way
leave.
"Be on guard and attack with fire."
The Taoist leader shouted, took out two or three talismans, and threw them in all directions. Other Taoists also imitated, and for a while there was a crackling sound all around. However, this time the bone rotting insects did not retreat, but continued to attack.
Wave after wave, they rushed towards the fire, as if they were not afraid of life and death.
After the densely packed rotten bones rushed into the flames, some of the flames gradually extinguished, and then more rotten bone insects rushed out again, seemingly endless.
"They are consuming our talismans. We cannot fight to the death. We must leave quickly."
"Yes...those with high cultivation level should protect the people around them and rush out quickly."
For a moment, the team became chaotic, and everyone began to rush forward. Several Taoists threw out talismans as they walked to block the rotten bone insects!
But there were too many bone rot worms. Looking around, it was a vast expanse of white, like heavy snow that had just fallen, which made people feel a sense of despair.
"Zhizhi...".
Xiao Yu was running fast at this time, and suddenly heard a squeaking sound in the distance. He couldn't help but feel moved, and immediately called the mouse out. As soon as the mouse came out, it was startled by these carrion insects, but then
A demonic aura radiated from the body to the surroundings. The low-level rotten bone insects felt this powerful demonic aura, and immediately ignored Xiao Yu and the others, and began to rush towards the others.
Seeing that the bone rot worms were no longer coming towards him, Xiao Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the place where the screams were made. There were so many bone rot worms, it was impossible for them to attack everyone spontaneously. There must be an insect king.
He is commanding, and the other party must be hiding among the bone rotting insects.
