The reason why those blood worms don't show up is that I have the blood of Tianshan snow lotus flowing in my body. What they are most afraid of is this smell.
I grabbed Xiaomin's arm and said to her, "hold on to me!"
Xiaomin nodded heavily and hugged my waist. Under the cover of black robes, our rushed towards the center of the sandstorm.
Soon, we came to the cave where Nangong mountain was located. But before we went in, we heard a deafening sound. It was the same as the voice sent by Xiaomin before. Xiaomin and I looked at each other and rushed in immediately.
The next scene suffocated me. I saw that there was chaos in the cave, and all women were killing each other. Their eyes were empty, their teeth and claws were open, their mouths were open, and they tore at each other, as if they had forgotten that they were friends who lived together day and night. At this time, Nangong mountain rushed to me immediately and said seriously to me, "come on, you must use your blood."
I nodded, clenched my teeth, cut my index finger with a dagger, rushed to the women controlled by the blood bug, and pointed their index finger with blood in the center of their eyebrows. Everyone I pointed would spit out a mouthful of blood.
Back and forth, almost most people are controlled by this blood bug. I don't have three heads and six arms, so I can only go one by one.
After working for nearly ten minutes, I finally had a chance to breathe. During this time, my blood passed heavily. At the moment, my body is very weak, but what makes me more desperate is that I didn't save all the people. Most of them are well. About a dozen people died in killing each other
After these women woke up, they looked at each other and made a frightened voice: "this... What's going on?"
"Why can't I remember anything? Ding Ding, wake up!"
"Why did so many people die? Who can tell me what just happened?"
Everyone gathered around me and denounced me. I wanted to tell them exactly what happened, but I used too much blood to save them. Now I'm very weak. I'm really lazy to answer.
Xiaomin stood up and explained to the crowd: "just now you were invaded by blood insects and occupied your thoughts. Therefore, you can't remember what happened. However, you killed these dead people. Don't panic anymore. It was the benefactor who saved us with his blood. Let's give him some time."
I looked at Xiaomin gratefully, and she smiled at me.
After listening to Xiaomin's explanation, these women finally let me go. However, everyone dared not stay in the cave. Some people proposed to go outside, but they were quickly refuted: "there is still a sandstorm outside. If we go out, we will undoubtedly die."
"But is there nothing wrong in this cave? The blood bug doesn't know when he will come out again. The benefactor is weak enough. We can't bother him any more!"
"What should I do? It's not here or out. Who can have a good way?"
At this time, Nangong mountain said to the crowd, "please wait here at ease. Although there are blood insects in the cave, each of you has his blood in the eyebrows. As long as you don't wipe it off, these blood insects don't dare to touch you."
Hearing this, the people were relieved and quietly gathered together. Everyone was frightened and the atmosphere on the scene became panic
Nangong mountain came to me. He said to me, "are you okay?"
I said, "master, I'm fine, but what is this blood bug? How can it control people's thoughts?"
Nangong mountain narrowed his eyes and said, "I've seen an ancient book that recorded this kind of creature. Its name is the lost soul insect. It lives in the depths of the desert. However, there are few groups. Because they like competition and kill each other in order to occupy their own territory, but why are these blood insects in groups?"
I said in a deep voice, "is it possible that the original place where these lost souls lived was the territory of the bee sting, but they were driven out because of the arrival of the bee sting."
Nangong mountain shines in front of you: "You remind me that the palace of bee stinger is the best place in the desert. Have you found that the buildings of bee stinger have no effect on resisting wind and sand, that is to say, they don't worry about being submerged by yellow sand at all. Although the lost soul bug lives in the desert, it is very afraid of the desert. It was rumoured that the lost soul bug was extinct in the early years because Because of the sandstorm, if you guessed correctly, the place where the bee sting was originally the place where the lost soul insect lived. "
After hearing Nangong mountain say that, I feel relieved. It seems that the reason why the bee sting is not separated from ten is that the bee sting took a fancy to the place of Feng Shui and drove these lost souls out. Forced, these lost souls had to be in groups. It happened that the bee sting people needed to carry resources from the outside world, so they built these caves and became the residence of these lost souls.
Nangong mountain looked at the sandstorm outside, He sighed helplessly: "Although your blood can resist these lost souls, you can help them once. Do they have to rely on you all day? Wang Chen, although my words are a little ugly, you must also understand that there are too many unknown dangers waiting for us in the desert. Those creatures hiding in the desert have long been eyeing our delicious meals, sometimes, You must learn to give up. "
Of course, I understand that I can't take care of so many people alone. What's more, there is so much blood in my body. This time, because I used too much blood, my body is very weak. If I do it again, I really can't do anything. But since I promised Dong Yue, I must do my best to take these women out, Then I can't go back, because without Dong Yue, the Throwing Knife would have hit me, and there wouldn't be so many things now. I can repay Dong Yue for saving my life.
Thinking of this, I said to Nangong mountain, "master, I know. Do what you can."
Nangong mountain took a deep look at me and didn't persuade me any more. Some things can't be explained in a few words.
The roaring wind outside stopped. I stood up and said to the crowd, "we should have a rest. It's time for us to start."
People were afraid of the cave. When they heard what I said, they all stood up. I walked in the front and took the lead out of the cave.
Because of this lost soul bug, we wasted half an hour again. Now it's 3:30 p.m. but fortunately, the desert is usually late at night, and it won't be dark until about 8 p.m., so we still have about five hours. Unfortunately, we're still a long way from the eye of death, If there is another sandstorm or accident, I'm afraid we can't reach the eye of death until dark.
I think so. If we can't pass through the eye of death before dark, we'll find another cave to sleep through, because the eye of death is too scary at night, and the insect of death will definitely lose half of our team.
In addition to these strange creatures, there is another crucial point that needs our special attention. That is the scorching sun. Along the way, many people have a brief coma due to heatstroke, which has prolonged our progress. There is also the problem of water source. They think they have enough water, but who knows it is still insufficient.
"Benefactor." Xiaomin came to me. Her face was pale and her lips were dry. She said to me, "there is not enough water in the team. There are only about one-fifth of them in the kettle."
I licked my chapped lips and said, "one fifth is definitely not enough. At least I need a full pot to survive."
We found a cooler place. I said to Nangong mountain, "master, do you calculate whether there is a water source nearby?"
Nangong mountain pinched his fingers and counted. After a moment, he shook his head at me and said, "yes or no, but it's the opposite way to us, and it's far away. If we go there, it will take an hour to get up and go back."
"One hour..." I hesitated. After all, an hour can take us a long way. It's not worth wasting on the way to find water.
I thought carefully. When I came, I didn't meet the water source on the road. If I insisted on moving forward, I'm afraid the people here would die of thirst before I reached the eye of death, because the exposure of the sun in the desert would lead to the rapid passage of water in my body. I can be hungry, but I must not be without water. I narrowed my eyes, Asked the crowd, "I have a choice. We need to make a decision together. There is no water source on our way forward. If we want to find water, we must lead to another road. It takes about an hour to go back and forth. Therefore, let's make a decision. I listen to your choice."
Hearing the speech, the people discussed one after another: "benefactor, I think water is more important. Although it has been delayed for an hour, we can't live without water."
"But after all, it's an hour. How far is it enough for us to go? I suggest everyone save some drinks and maybe we can make it."
"No, absolutely not. The sun in the desert will not go down until more than six o'clock at least, and there are more than two hours left. That is to say, in these two hours, we must ensure the water in our body. Moreover, we can't reach saide town until at least twelve o'clock in the evening. If there is no water in the kettle, we can't last that long!"
"But is an hour so wasted? I hate this damn desert. I really don't want to take it here for a minute. Benefactor, let's move on."
People have different choices. I thought about it and said, "well, let's vote and give a hand to those who choose water sources."
More than half of the people raised their hands, and I said, "those who choose to move on raise their hands."
A few people raised their hands and didn't agree. I should abstain. I narrowed my eyes, thought carefully and said, "I think water is more important, so we'd better look for water first. Anyway, we can't get to saide town in the evening, and we don't need this hour."
Having said this, I took the lead in walking in the direction of Nangong mountain.
The rest of the people dare not complain when I say so. After all, I follow the ideas of the public.
Speechless all the way, about half an hour or so, we arrived at an oasis. However, the oasis is somewhat incompatible with the desert. It looks like it was built deliberately. Nangong mountain came to me, frowned and said to me, "Wang Chen, do you feel something wrong?"
I raised my eyebrows and said, "master, you can see that this desert doesn't seem to be formed naturally. It feels like it appears deliberately."
Nangongshan nodded: "we'd better be careful."
I walked in the front, facing the humanity behind me: "wait here first, I'll have a look."
The women are very worried because they know there is an oasis here, so many people drink the water in the kettle. All the way, the sun is exposed, and the water in their bodies passes seriously. How can they not be excited when they see the oasis? Therefore, some people are ready to move.
I know these people are anxious, so I don't blame them, but explained: "please believe me, I will never harm you, I must ensure everyone's safety."
"Benefactor, what should we be cautious about? This oasis really appears in front of us. I'm dying of thirst. Don't let us stand here and wait!"
"Yes, now who really gives me a drink of water, even if I kneel down, I'm willing."
"Benefactor, I know you think of us, but what's suspicious about an oasis? It's your heart."
At this time, a person suddenly rushed out of the crowd. I saw it and wanted to stop it, but Nangong mountain stopped me. He looked at me and motioned me not to act rashly. I bit my teeth and felt a little unbearable, because Nangong mountain meant to let the woman make a test to see whether the oasis was deliberate or natural!
If it is natural, then naturally everyone can rest assured, but if it is man-made
When I really thought so, the woman had run to the oasis and was drinking happily with the water in the lake. Suddenly, a big net fell from the sky and caught the woman in an instant. My pupils suddenly shrunk and shouted, "be careful!"
After saying this, I rushed towards the woman, but it was too late. Countless throwing knives flew out of the water and hit the woman in an instant. In an instant, her whole body was covered with wounds, which was extremely shocking and the picture was terrible
