Hearing Gu Yan's words, the three of us looked at each other, a little confused.
So what if we have guns? The Type 92 handgun can only be loaded with 15 rounds at most. Even if we can kill 10 bugs with a single shot, it won't be enough to get us out of this predicament!
Even though he still had doubts in his heart, based on the current situation, he could only trust the other party.
As soon as he got the gun, Gu Yan immediately put the man back on the ground and added more firewood to the fire.
The fire was so intense that the red scarabs immediately retreated, creating a relatively large and open space for us.
After that, we saw that Gu Yan did not use the superb shooting technique that we thought he would. Instead, he took out his magazine and unloaded the bullet.
"The gunpowder contains a lot of sulfur. The smell created by the combustion of this thing is a hundred times stronger than the smell of smoke!"
As he spoke, Gu Yan unloaded the bullets one by one. In just a few minutes, all of the gunpowder was poured into a small box.
BOOM!
As the gunpowder was thrown into the fire, a blinding light flashed, followed by a thick smell of gunpowder that made me dizzy and dazzled. It took me a while to recover my senses!
After I recovered, I subconsciously looked around. Just like what Gu Yan said, after the smell of gunpowder that could choke people to death dispersed, the nearby beetles had already completely disappeared. A crisis was finally resolved.
"The smell of sulfur can only scare away those deadly beetles. We'd better leave this place as soon as possible!" Furthermore, this brat has only managed to stay alive for the time being. I need to get him to the nearest hospital for rescue as soon as possible, so I won't be accompanying you guys! "
After saying that, Gu Yan carried the unconscious man on his back again and ran in a certain direction without saying anything. We, too, hurriedly got up and followed Liang Bin in the direction of the Liang Village.
Although what happened just now was shocking and not dangerous, it undoubtedly left us with an enormous shadow. We didn't dare to slack off in the slightest along the way. Originally, Liang Bin said that we would have to travel for another two and a half hours, yet we actually arrived at the Liang Village in an hour and a half!
"Is it safe to enter the village?"
Looking at the village with only a few dim yellow lamps, I still looked at Liang Bin with some lingering fear in my heart.
"Don't worry. Although the beetles are terrifying, they can only move within a fixed range."
Even though he said so, I still felt uneasy.
After that, Liang Bin led us into the village. Just as Liang Bin said, most of the people here have already moved out. The rooms that we passed by are already empty.
It was only when we arrived at a house that looked like an ancestral hall on the mountainside that Liang Bin led us in and started a fire.
We found an opening at the back of the ancestral hall and washed off the dirt. After that, Big Board and I went to the bonfire to roast clothes.
"Comrade Guide, why are you so sure that the beetles will not come to the village?"
The big board's question also asked the question from my heart.
Hearing that, Liang Bin only smiled, "Since you two aren't some stupid kid who came to investigate, I might as well tell you all what happened here."
Subsequently, Liang Bin began to narrate some of the events that had happened here in the past few years.
Originally, this village was very quiet and peaceful, there were over a hundred families.
Later, a few tourists would come here to play, and when they had gone, strange baby cries would come from the hills across the village at night.
The village chief gathered the several hunters from the village and asked them to go into the mountains to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, they were still fine when they entered the mountain, but when they came out at night, there was only one person left.
Later, the village chief reported this matter to the police station. The police station dispatched more than 10 policemen to search the mountain. They even brought a police dog with them, but in the end, it was the two policemen who went missing!
This was not a trivial matter. A massive search and rescue operation was immediately organized. Finally, the corpses of the two policemen and dogs were found in a river outside the mountain.
Later I heard that the two policemen fell down the mountain and died, and then they were washed out of the mountain by the river.
However, those who saw it knew that the wounds on the policeman's body were caused by sharp weapons. Moreover, the people's daily life and irrigation water were all underground water. Other than a small stream, there was no other river!
After this matter had been uploaded to the internet, the adventurers and stupefied youths everywhere immediately rushed towards the town like crucian carp crossing the river. There were also people who gave that mountain a name, Sobbing Infant Mountain.
Originally, nothing strange happened to the tourists after they arrived.
But then, when a group of people arrived with strange luggage, the mountain began to grow restless again, and even more violent than before.
On the night that the group of people had set foot in the mountain, the sound of a baby crying that hadn't appeared in a long time rang out once again. Furthermore, it was crying especially fiercely!
Early the next morning, people discovered that the group of people had all disappeared! What was even more terrifying was that some of the campers closest to the Weeping Infant Mountain immediately turned into mummies overnight!
When this matter came out, it immediately scared all the passersby away. Liang Village had also become a ghost village that was well-known far and wide. There were also rumors that Sobbing Infant Mountain was originally a abandoned Nascent Soul Mountain that was used to abandon dead infants. It had been cursed viciously, and someone had entered the mountain to break the curse, which was why it had brought about such a disaster.
Although no one dared to venture further in, the sound of the baby's wails still echoed out from the mountain peak from time to time, causing the villagers to tremble in fear. Thus, a large portion of the villagers moved out from the mountain.
No wonder the people from the town wanted us to leave. Furthermore, the reason why Liang Bin brought us to the stream was probably because he thought of us as people who came to hunt for surprises.
However, what I don't understand is, who is that youth that Gu Yan saved? What are you doing here again? Was it to hunt down ghosts and break the curse? But once the curse was mentioned, wasn't it a rumor that spread out later on?
"Then, aren't you afraid that that deadly beetle will come out of the mountains?"
"It has already been a few years. Other than the occasional crying on the mountain, nothing strange has happened in our village. Furthermore, the remaining old hunter in the village also went there to investigate, saying that those bugs only moved within the radius of that small stream, and would never cross over it. "
"But wasn't we outside the creek when we were attacked?"
While we were still thinking about this, all the dogs in the village suddenly began to bark at the same time in an exceptionally fierce manner!
