As a strong smell of blood filled the cave, more and more bugs emerged from the walls, all of which were hard-shelled beetles the size of fingernails, crawling toward the man on the ground like a tidal wave.
Although Qin Hai has traveled extensively over the years and has seen countless strange things, this is the first time he has seen anything like this. He saw that the man on the ground was quickly devoured until he was left with only bones, and almost all his flesh and blood were eaten away by those
The unknown washed and gnawed it away.
In the end, even the white bones were not spared. With the crunching sound, Qin Hai stared dumbfoundedly as the insects devoured pieces of the bones cleanly.
Moreover, from the moment the man fell down to the time he disappeared without a trace, the whole process took less than a minute, and at this time there were countless bugs constantly coming out of the wall.
A bone-chilling chill ran down Qin Hai's back. He slowly backed away, trying to walk as lightly as possible so as not to disturb these terrifying insects.
But despite this, the insects seemed to have discovered his presence. After eating the corpse on the ground, they immediately turned around and swarmed towards his location.
In the blink of an eye, the little bugs were like floods after a dam burst, surging toward his location.
Qin Hai immediately turned around and ran away, running quickly towards where Shen Meng and the others were.
But at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the front. Not long after, Shen Meng and the others were seen running towards him in panic. And behind them, a man masked in black cloth was holding a
The hatchet is in hot pursuit.
After seeing Qin Hai, Du Meiqi, who was running at the front, shouted in panic: "Someone, someone wants to kill us!"
Whoosh!
The masked man suddenly raised the hatchet in his hand and slashed fiercely at Shen Meng who was lagging behind. If the blow hit, Shen Meng would inevitably suffer heavy injuries and even die.
"Stop!" Qin Hai roared angrily, casually broke off a piece of gravel from the wall next to him, and then smashed it towards the masked man.
Bang!
The gravel hit the masked man's forehead accurately. With a scream, the masked man fell down, and the hatchet in his hand fell. The blade almost touched Shen Meng's neck, and finally fell on the
On the ground.
Shen Meng, who was lucky enough to escape, was horrified. His feet slipped and he fell to the ground. Qin Hai quickly rushed over to hold Shen Meng up. After Shen Meng stood firm, he walked over to the gravel.
In front of the masked man who was knocked unconscious from the impact, the black cloth on his face was ripped off.
With the help of the light from his mobile phone, Qin Hai recognized the masked man at a glance as the other person sitting on Grandpa Shi's left hand side last night. He was about thirty years old.
"Who is he and why did he want to kill us?" Shen Meng came over and asked.
"No matter who he is, one thing is for sure, he is definitely not a good person!" Qin Hai turned around and listened, and those little bugs were still crawling out. He hurriedly said to Shen Meng: "There are a lot of bugs inside, and this is not a suitable place.
If you stay too long, let’s leave immediately.”
After saying that, he picked up the hatchet on the ground and led Shen Meng and the others out of here quickly. After walking out of the cave, he quickly got into another cave entrance.
This masked man and the man who was swallowed by the bugs just now should have come from here, so there should obviously be no danger here.
And not long after they left, a large number of insects had discovered the masked man on the ground, and submerged him in the sea of insects in the blink of an eye.
Hearing the shrill screams coming from behind, Qin Hai's heart was filled with fear. He was cautious and led everyone to move forward quickly.
But after walking forward for more than ten minutes, there was another fork in the road ahead. One left and one right, making it difficult for them to make a choice.
Qin Hai used the light on his mobile phone to search the ground carefully, but did not find any traces. Moreover, by this time, everyone had turned around in the cave countless times. They could no longer distinguish the north, south, east, and west, and they had no idea what day it was. to lead to the correct exit.
"What should we do now?" Shen Meng asked with a frown.
Qin Hai was silent for a moment at the fork in the road, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one. Du Meiqi couldn't help but hum: "Everyone else is anxious to death, but you are still in the mood to smoke!"
Shen Meng, on the other hand, looked at Qin Hai thoughtfully. Qin Hai lit the cigarette and took two puffs. Then he walked to the two cave entrances and stood for a while holding the cigarette.
After a while, Qin Hai turned back and said: "The wind is blowing to the left, let's go left!"
Only then did Du Meiqi realize that she had misunderstood Qin Hai. She looked at each other and Miao Qing, quietly stuck out her tongue, and then followed Qin Hai towards the left entrance of the cave.
Not long after, the cave gradually opened up, and then an open area appeared in front of it, somewhat similar to the place they had just entered from outside the cave.
As Qin Hai shone the light of his mobile phone around, huge stalactites immediately appeared in front of them. There were probably dozens of stalactites in total, just like a huge stone forest, and every stalactite The pillars are all white and crystal clear, which is not only spectacular, but also extremely beautiful.
The girls were so surprised that they all came forward to touch these stalactite pillars. Du Meiqi even took out her camera to take pictures, and finally asked Miao Qing to take several photos of her with her mobile phone.
Qin Hai circled around this open area. The strange thing is that this place is actually a desert. The only possible exit is the small ditch on the ground. The wind blowing in from the outside seems to be blowing along the small ditch. .But the ditch was only a foot or so high, and the gap was so narrow that it was impossible for them to get through.
At this moment, Du Meiqi, who was still taking selfies, suddenly screamed. Qin Hai immediately turned around and asked: "What's going on?"
Du Meiqi was so frightened that she almost cried and shouted: "There is a mouse!"
"Mouse?" Qin Hai frowned slightly and walked over quickly. As the light shone, a rat with a sharp beak and a long tail suddenly appeared under the light. From the appearance, it was indeed a rat, but this rat was a bit too big. , this one is at least three times the size of an ordinary mouse.
Qin Hai raised his knife and slashed to death the rat that was about to flee in a hurry. At the same time, the warning signs in his heart reappeared and he shouted loudly: "Let's go, hurry up and get out from the road just now!"
At the same time, many rats suddenly emerged from all around and ran around on the ground. Du Meiqi was so frightened that she screamed, "rats, so many rats!"
Miao Qing, who was approaching the entrance of the cave, suddenly exclaimed: "Bugs, so many bugs!"
Qin Hai followed the sound and suddenly took a breath of cold air. He saw that the cave they came from was already covered with the kind of hard-shelled beetles he had seen before, and they were rushing towards the open area where they were like a tide.
Is this the end of my life today?
Looking at the endless sea of insects, Qin Hai almost fell into despair.
