As large numbers of man-eating beetles continued to arrive, more and more rats appeared in the holes. Not only were these rats huge in size, they were not afraid of people at all and even wanted to attack them.
Qin Hai chopped down several mice in succession and looked around, pointing at a big rock in front of him on the left and said: "Get over there, quickly!"
The big stone was about half a person's height, oval-shaped, and extremely smooth on all sides. After Qin Hai helped the girls climb up, he also jumped up.
In the blink of an eye, all the mice rushed towards the big rocks, as if they were crazy and wanted to attack them.
Qin Hai kept waving the hatchet in his hand and kicking his feet to drive down the rats that were trying to climb up the big rocks.
At this time, man-eating beetles crawling from the cave also entered the open area. Qin Hai immediately picked up a huge mouse with a hatchet and threw it into the sea of insects.
The mouse panicked and wanted to escape quickly, but before it could get up, it was wrapped tightly by countless beetles. After only a few breaths, it could no longer move.
Seeing this scene, Du Meiqi screamed again and again, and Miao Qing was so frightened that her face turned pale, her legs kept shaking, and she could hardly stand.
"Black beetles! Oh my god, why are there so many black beetles here!" Shen Meng stared at the man-eating beetles for a while, then suddenly exclaimed.
Qin Hai quickly asked: "Sister Shen, do you know this kind of insect?"
Shen Meng explained: "They are called black beetles. Not only do they have extremely hard carapace, but they can also secrete a very corrosive special liquid, so they can eat almost anything they want. This kind of insect is very rare now."
, I didn’t expect there were so many here!”
Qin Hai threw a few more mice into the sea of insects and asked: "Sister Shen, do you have a way to deal with them? If there is no way, we may not be able to get out today!"
"I did bring some anti-insect powder, but I don't know if it will be effective against black beetles!"
After seeing the black beetle, Shen Meng also knew that the situation was urgent. He immediately took out a porcelain bottle from his small bag, opened it and looked at it, and immediately said in frustration: "There is not enough anti-insect powder!"
Qin Haidao: "It's enough to sprinkle a circle around this big rock. If that doesn't work, then God wants us to die here!"
Shen Meng sighed. If she had known that she would encounter this situation, she would have brought more anti-insect powder. But there was no use regretting it now. She could only follow the method Qin Hai said.
Just when Qin Hai and the others were carefully spreading the anti-insect powder evenly around the big rocks, the black beetle army and the group of big rats in the cave finally started a head-on confrontation.
Although black beetles are countless times smaller than mice, they are numerous in number. Almost all mice surrounded by them are spared. In just a few breaths, they are completely enveloped by the sea of insects and then swallowed up completely.
There wasn't even a bit of bone left.
The group of big rats no longer besieged Qin Hai and the others who were hiding on the big rocks, and began to deal with the black beetles one after another.
However, facing the black beetles that were much smaller than them, these guys were completely helpless.
Soon, the black beetle army gradually occupied most of the open area. The remaining rats may have realized the strong danger and began to flee in panic. Many rats even desperately headed towards Qin Hai and the others.
Jumping on rocks.
Not long after, the black beetles gradually spread to the side of the big rocks, and almost the entire open space was occupied by black beetles. As for the huge rats, except for a few who escaped, most of them became food for the black beetles. It was devoured completely, not even the fur was left.
At this time, Qin Hai and the others had poured the last bit of insect repellent powder on the big stone. The four of them crowded in the middle of the big stone and nervously looked at the dense sea of insects under the stone.
Qin Hai and Shen Meng were able to remain calm, but Du Meiqi and Miao Qing were frightened. One of them hugged Shen Meng tightly, and the other just held Qin Hai's sleeve. Their bodies were shaking uncontrollably and they were on the verge of collapse.
Especially Du Meiqi, if Shen Meng hadn't covered Du Meiqi's mouth so hard, she might have screamed in fright.
As for Qin Hai and Shen Meng, although they could barely keep their composure, it was impossible to say they were not nervous or scared.
This was a time when their lives were hanging by a thread. If the anti-insect powder they had just spread didn't work, all four of them would be buried in the sea of insects.
Although Qin Hai has experienced countless life and death moments, this is the first time he has faced countless man-eating insects. In comparison, he would rather die by bullets or butcher's knives, at least he can die simply. Deliluo, once these black beetles actually crawl on your body, the consequences will be frightening just thinking about it.
As more and more black beetles pour into this open area, the entire sea of worms seems to be rising tide, and the water level is constantly rising. This is especially true for the insects surrounding the big rocks. As the newcomers continue to join, there are countless Black beetles gradually surrounded the big stone.
Seeing this scene, Qin Hai and Shen Meng looked at each other, and they both saw despair in each other's eyes.
Just as a sudden roaring flash flood cannot be resisted by simply building a few sandbags, such a large number of black beetles cannot be resisted by sprinkling a little anti-insect powder. They were too optimistic and took it for granted before. .
In other words, if there were no other changes, several of them would be buried here today!
Du Meiqi suddenly started to cry, and Miao Qing completely collapsed in Qin Hai's arms. Although Shen Meng had remained calm, at this last moment, her face became extremely pale.
Qin Hai has not given up yet.
He didn't want to give up before the last moment. For so many years, he has been walking on the edge of life and death, but he has always been safe and sound. It is precisely because he does not believe that God has a perfect path, no matter what he faces. Even in such desperate situations, he always believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to find a way.
Qin Hai quickly glanced around the top of the cave. The top of the cave was very flat and there was no place to hide. Finally, his eyes fell on the thick and long stalactites, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind. idea.
The stalactite column closest to the big stone is very thick. Qin Hai may not be able to wrap it around it even if he opens his arms. It is also very close to the big stone, and he can reach it with his hand. However, this stalactite column is inverted cone-shaped, and its surface is It was very smooth and could not be used with force. Qin Hai tried to chop it twice with a hatchet and found that the stalactites here had experienced countless years and were very hard in texture.
