our supernatural life

What is the concept of a centipede as thick as a chimney?Anyway, Mai Mai didn't have this concept, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he reached out and pulled out the pistol on his waist.However, he was stuck in the branch of the tree, and the centipede was too close to Shao Jing. Before he could take out the gun, the centipede opened and closed its mouthparts, and rushed over.

Shao Jing hung his hands on the branch, exerted force on his waist, lifted his legs in the air and kicked against the centipede, and was dangerously kicking on the centipede's first pair of feet. branches.This kick was so thrilling that Mai Mai didn't dare to catch her breath.At this time Shao Jing turned over, he also drew out the gun, so he raised his hand and shot at the centipede.

With a bang, the shot missed the head, and only hit the centipede's raised torso.Wheat originally thought that such a big centipede must have an abnormally tough shell, but unexpectedly, with one shot, a hole burst open in the centipede's body, and yellow-green body fluids flowed out.The centipede made a creaking sound, the mandibles on its head opened and closed frantically, twisted its body, but did not come up to attack.Only then did Mai Mai and Shao Jing realize that there was a long gray-white thing dragging behind it, which was only hidden in the leaves. The new skin has not yet hardened, so it can be broken with a single shot.

But this shot was enough to completely irritate the centipede.Originally, the last three pairs of feet of this thing were not fully peeled off, and it would take about ten minutes. Now, with such a violent twist, two pairs of feet came off at once, and the last pair of feet broke off in the old skin. The centipede rushed out suddenly, opened its first pair of jaws with venom, and bit the wheat.

Wheat's body was caught in the tree branch, and he raised his gun and shot without thinking.Bang bang bang, two or three holes were opened in the centipede's body, but the huge palate was already in sight.Shao Jing grabbed the centipede's tail with both hands, and jumped down from the branch. With the weight of a hundred or so catties and the force of the fall, the centipede was pulled hard. They grabbed the bark one by one, but they were still pulled by Shao Jing and fell to the ground.

As soon as Shao Jing landed on the ground, he let go of the centipede's tail, went straight to the centipede's head, and opened his hand to cover the tangled spider web first.The centipede didn't know what it was, so it opened its palate and bit it. As a result, its head was so sticky and tough that it couldn't even open its palate.Shao Jing took the opportunity to pull out the dagger and slash at the tentacles on the centipede's head.The centipede rolled and struggled wildly, scratching wildly with dozens of legs. Fortunately, Shao Jing was covered with snake sloughs. Although the ends of these legs were hard and sharp, they did not scratch the snake slough, leaving dozens of whitish scratches. mark.However, the arms and legs that were not protected by the snake slough were scratched with bloodstains. Shao Jing ignored them and just chopped off the two tentacles with a knife. After five or six minutes, he finally cut off the two tentacles. .

Centipedes are almost blind during the day, relying entirely on their antennae to gather information about their surroundings.Shao Jing chopped off its tentacles, which is equivalent to turning it into a deaf and blind person, and the threat is greatly reduced.It's not that Shao Jing didn't want to kill this thing directly, but they didn't have many bullets, so they had to save them, and with such a big centipede, how many bullets would be wasted if they wanted to kill it.The nerves of this kind of insects are not like those of higher animals, and if they destroy the central nervous system, they will die immediately.The so-called centipede is dead but not stiff, even if you cut its head open, it will take a while to finish it.He didn't know whether Maimai was injured just now, and he was anxious to see, so he cut off the tentacles, and rolled off the centipede.

The centipede rushed blindly.The palate on the head was entangled tightly by the spider silk, and he couldn't get it free, and he couldn't find where the enemy was, but the tree next to him was covered with scratches.Shao Jing ignored the thing and turned to look at Mai Mai.The wheat had struggled out of the branch and was slowly sliding down a vine.Shao Jing knew something was wrong when he looked at his face. He stepped forward and saw that there was a hole in the snake slough on Mai Mai's shoulder. It was not big, but the clothes on that part were already wet.After all, the centipede's palate is the most important attack weapon, and it cannot be compared with other legs.The pair of jaws are like pliers, not only powerful, but also extremely sharp. If it is not protected by snake sloughs, the wheat may have been bitten through.Although Shao Jing pulled the centipede away in time, the snake's slough had already been penetrated by the palate.

Shao Jing used the dagger to cut along the hole and tore off the piece of clothing, his heart sank.There was a small hole on Maimai's shoulder that looked like an awl. The blood that flowed out of it was purple-black and gave off a bit of a foul smell.Without hesitation, Shao Jing cut a hole with the dagger, leaned over and sucked.The blood sucked into the mouth is actually hot on the tongue, which shows how poisonous the centipede is.

Mai Mai felt that the wound was numb for a while, and then began to hurt, like a fire.He could barely feel Shao Jing's sucking action, but he felt dizzy and nauseated, couldn't stand up, wanted to vomit, but couldn't vomit.

Shao Jing didn't stop until the blood that flowed out turned light red, and his tongue was so numb that he couldn't feel anything anymore.However, looking at Mai Mai's expressionless eyes, he knew that the toxin had entered the blood. Although he should have sucked out most of it, and centipede poison is generally not in danger of getting sick, but what does this giant mutated centipede look like? No one knows.It was supposed to tie the upper part of the wound to prevent the toxin from going up, but the wheat wound was on the shoulder, and it couldn't be pierced.Shao Jing looked around for dandelions, but where to find dandelions in this tropical forest?

Wheat sat leaning against a tree.Both of them turned a blind eye to the centipede that was still thumping tens of meters away.He felt dizzy for a while, and Mai Mai didn't dare to move, as if he was going to spit it out, and after a long time he said slowly, "Go, I guess I can't do it."

Shao Jing interrupted him roughly: "What nonsense! Didn't you just sting it? Are you a man! Can't take it anymore?" Then he stood up, "I'll carry you!" His tongue was so swollen Boss, the speech is vague.

Mai Mai remained silent, and after a while said, "Actually, it's useless if you take me with you."

Shao Jing knelt down and carried him on his back. Seeing that he didn't cooperate, he became even angrier: "What are you dawdling about!"

Mai Mai was roughly pulled onto his back by him, feeling his body was burning like fire, and he didn't even have the strength to hug Shao Jing's neck: "I don't have energy..."

Shao Jing's voice became a little softer: "Of course you are bitten. I've never heard of an adult being bitten to death by a centipede. Just hold on for a while and get over it."

Mai rested her head on his shoulder.He knew that Shao Jing was just comforting him.Ordinary centipedes can't kill adults, but this is a giant mutant centipede. It's not surprising that it can kill people, but it's strange that it can't kill people.Of course he didn't want to die, but... even if he didn't die now, if he entered the stone room, he could only get out alive.But that's fine too, if nothing happened to him, Shao Jing would definitely not leave alone, now that he's dead, Shao Jing can go out, that's not bad.

Shao Jing didn't know what Mai Mai was thinking, but he felt that he put his arm around his neck, and he felt a little more at ease, and sent him up, avoiding the crazy centipede, and walked forward.

The woods here are relatively sparse. Shao Jing walked with Mai Mai on his back for a while, and his vision widened in front of him.Shao Jing raised his head and took a look, then immediately turned the wheat upside down: "Look!"

Xiaomai felt that his eyes were going black for a while, and he raised his head reluctantly to take a look, and was stunned for a while.In front of it is a straight black mountain wall. There are countless holes dug on the mountain wall, big and small, countless, like a honeycomb.And in the space between the caves, there are countless pictures of poisonous insects, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, toads... and some Shao Jing can't recognize.These are all carved out of stones on the cliff, and they are not very clear from a distance, but when you get closer, you will find that they are everywhere, and the carvings are very vivid.The black stones on the mountain wall are very special, with a kind of shimmering light. If you look at them for a long time, it seems that these painted poisonous insects are moving their heads and tails, and they will climb down from the mountain wall immediately.

"This must be the stone room!" Shao Jing opened his collar to see the pair of Gu worms on his chest, and sure enough, the two Gu worms flew out immediately as soon as he pulled off the collar, hovering happily in mid-air, very eager It means to fly in.

"Looks like it is." Maimai's head sank, thinking that he must have a fever, "But from which hole do you get in?"

"Whichever Gu worm enters, we will follow." Although Shao Jing said so, he did not move forward immediately, "Do you have any special feeling?" He always felt that something was not right, as if his head was a little dizzy, and his skin There is an indescribable itching sensation underneath, very slight, but it does exist.

Mai Mai thought that Shao Jing was poisoned by him.Although his body was hot and cold, he didn't want Shao Jing to worry: "It's nothing, it's fine."

Shao Jing walked forward with his back on his back.In fact, he has already felt that the body temperature of wheat is rising, but in this place, there is no other way but to rely on wheat to survive.After walking a few steps, he felt as if he had stepped on something round and elastic under his feet, like a rubber tube.He kicked it with his toe, and picked out a dark gray thing with brown patterns from the grass.

"What?" Wheat murmured, he couldn't see clearly.

"It's okay." Shao Jing kicked the thing back into the grass again.He recognized it. It was a gecko's tail, but it was terribly big.

The black mountain wall is in front of you.Two Gu worms flew into the largest cave, Shao Jing followed behind with Mai Mai on his back.Before reaching the entrance of the cave, Shao Jing felt a force pulling the gun in his hand and the dagger on his belt.He immediately understood what this mountain wall was: "Magnet!" No wonder he felt something was wrong all over his body. Although people are not as sensitive as insects and animals to such a huge magnetic field, they would still respond.

Mai looked up in surprise.Such a large black cliff is all magnets?

"Insects in this place will mutate. I don't know if it has something to do with the magnetic field."

As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, Shao Jing could no longer hold the gun in his hand. He let go of his hand, and the gun flew out, and was firmly attached to the stone wall with a sound.Then the other guns on Mai Mai's belt flew out, and Shao Jing's dagger was also trying to pull on the belt, hoping to leave.

"These are no longer available, what should I do?" Mai Mai asked worriedly, leaning her face on Shao Jing's shoulder.

"I can't help it. I can only throw it away now, otherwise it may hinder my movement when I get inside." Shao Jing considered whether to throw away the belt because the belt buckle is also metal.In the end, I decided to tie it first, "You wait here, I will go back and chop two sticks."

Chopping sticks is fast, but sticks have limited damage.

"No more weapons..." Xiaomai couldn't think of what they could use to fight if they encountered some mutated poisonous insects. "Can sticks deal with those poisonous insects?"

Shao Jing took out something from his backpack: "And this." It was the scorpion tail thorn he picked up on the cliff, and it really came in handy now.There is also a small piece of spider silk rope, which was used to tie the tail spurs to the side of the backpack at the time.Later, he ate some of the things in the backpack, so he put the tail spines into the backpack, and put the rope together, not wasting all on the centipede's head.Now he uses a spider silk rope to firmly tie the tail spur to the front end of a shorter wooden stick, barely counting it as a weapon.

Mai Mai looked at this "weapon" with a wry smile.They have gone into the cave.The passage is rough, and it seems that the inside is gradually narrowing. It is estimated that Shao Jing will not be able to carry him after walking too far: "You'd better put me down."

Shao Jing didn't even listen: "Don't talk nonsense! I will take you with me wherever I go."

"I mean I'm going by myself. You see, the passage is not that high. If you carry me behind your back, I'm going to bump my head."

Shao Jing was worried: "Can you walk by yourself?"

Maimai felt dizzy, and his body felt like it was on fire, but he didn't know if it was too much and he didn't feel it anymore. Now he felt stronger than before, and it should be okay to walk: "It's okay, I think it's okay. can go."

Shao Jing put him down, still a little worried.However, Maimai took a few steps and felt that although he felt like he had stepped on a ball of cotton, he could still walk.Moreover, the passage here is rapidly narrowing. If you really carry it on your back, you will be unable to walk after tens of meters.

The two walked along the passage, Gu worms were flying in front of them, their bodies glowed faintly, as if they were pointing the way.The passage is very quiet, but you can hear some hissing sounds inadvertently, but when you pay attention to them, they disappear.The passage became narrower and narrower, until finally Mai and Shao Jing could only keep their heads down.And it was getting darker and darker, if there were no fluorescent lights on the two Gu worms to guide them, they would lose their way.

Going forward another ten meters, Shao Jing, who was walking ahead, felt that something brittle was stepped on under his feet.He bent down and took a closer look at the ground, and found that they were the remains of some insects. The specific insects could no longer be recognized, because they were all scattered, and of course it might be a mixture of many kinds of insects.

"What?" Mai asked suspiciously.

Shao Jing hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.Having come to this place, it is not a good idea to hide the danger: "A lot of bug remains, it seems..."

"Have they devoured each other here?"

"Yes." Shao Jing looked into the darkness, "The passage is getting narrower and narrower, and it is estimated that it is impossible for a large number of bugs to enter together, so let's solve it here. It may be ahead..."

"There will be dangerous bugs." Mai Mai added what Shao Jing hadn't said, holding a stick in his hand.

"Yes." Shao Jing pulled him over and kissed him, "But no matter what's in front, we'll be together."

Wheat nodded.At this time, it is useless to speak the words of a woman. If we go together, we may be more powerful in fighting.

The feet were crunchy, and both of them felt very uncomfortable when walking, so they subconsciously avoided paying attention to the road under their feet.This was a mistake, because by the time they suddenly realized that there was a light ahead and the passage turned sharply downward, it was too late.Shao Jing's foot slipped, and the passage had changed from rough at the entrance to smooth at some point, and it was slippery here as if it had been polished. He couldn't even stand firmly and fell down.Mai Mai reached out from behind to grab Shao Jing's belt, but he couldn't stand still, the two of them huddled together and rushed down slippery.

The place where they landed was covered with a thick layer, and the two of them didn't feel any pain from the fall, but they scratched a few places when they fell from the passage.But once the wheat fell on this layer, something felt wrong, because it felt like being thrown into the food pit in the ant nest.There was already light at this moment, and there were several cracks in the mountain wall above their heads, from which the light shone down, allowing them to barely see what was beneath them—they were also countless sloughs of insects and snakes, accumulated over time, and thickly padded. A thick layer, but it's very dry here, and doesn't smell of rot.

Shao Jing got up and pulled Mai Mai: "Did you fall?"

Mai Mai shook his head: "No. What kind of place is this?"

Shao Jing looked around: "It's strange, it's like a—"

The two said in unison: "The stone room?"

It was indeed like a stone chamber, but as large as a palace.Surrounded by that kind of black magnet, sloping down, like a basin, they are now in the bottom of the basin.There are countless honeycomb-like holes on the top of the basin, which is probably the other end of the holes they saw on the mountain wall outside, while the lower part is extremely smooth, and there are countless small scratches on the basin, probably caused by hundreds of insects and snakes. It has been rubbed with the body for thousands of years to become so smooth.

"There's something on it..." Maimai felt a little better now, and his eyes were not so blurry. With the faint light, he saw something protruding from the side of the "pot".

Shao Jing narrowed his eyes and looked carefully for a while: "They are some statues."

Indeed, those are some reliefs, and they are also carved with various poisonous insects, but if you look closely, these poisonous insects are not the same as those painted on the mountain wall outside.If you want to describe it in one sentence, it is realistic on the outside and impressionist on the inside.The poisonous insect sculptures protruding from the side of the basin are no longer a single kind of insect snake, but a combination of the characteristics of many poisonous insects.For example, the one on the side has a centipede-like front body, but a huge spider-like belly on the back; the one on the opposite side has a snake's body, but it has a pair of scorpion claws.Moreover, these monsters only carve out most of the front half of their bodies, and the back is not carved out. At first glance, it looks like these poisonous insects just got out of the mountain wall.

Mai Mai and Shao Jing were looking around, when suddenly on the other side of the "basin", the layer of insects sloughed and gradually bulged.Mai Mai and Shao Jing took a step back at the same time, clenched the "weapons" in their hands.

The remains of the insect parted to reveal a crumpled mass.This thing was still gradually expanding, so Mai Mai and Shao Jing seemed to see those statues growing alive from the ground - it was a living monster...
