Although they did not know who was using the grenade, when the grenade exploded, the bugs seemed to be stimulated by the sulphur in the grenade, and their speed immediately slowed down!
Even so, there were still a few bugs that managed to reach the ankles on the board behind me, and they were able to directly climb onto the back of the board from the ankles!
Upon seeing this, I immediately turned my head and shot a bug from the back of the big board!
However, those locust-like insects don't even know fear. Even though I destroyed all of the locusts with a single shot, the other bugs still unscrupulously bit towards the neck of the large board!
"AHH!"
The large board screamed as it desperately tried to swat the bugs on its back, but it was to no avail!
Due to the invasion of the bugs, the speed of the big board suddenly slowed down! And we, in order to help Bighead, had to slow down! With this, the bugs immediately caught up! They covered the sky and rushed towards us!
When those bugs swarmed over my body, I only felt countless sharp claws grabbing onto my body! At the same time, there were a few spots where a stinging pain came directly from the fire, as if someone was using a steel pincer to pinch my flesh!
He didn't need to guess to know what the pain was!
However, at this moment, I could only desperately wave the military knife in my hand, hacking away at the bugs that were slithering over my body!
However, just when I felt that I was almost unable to withstand the excruciating pain and fear, those bugs suddenly retreated from my body. At the same time, they frenziedly rushed towards the direction where the grenade's explosion came from!
"This is so f * cking deadly!"
As he said that, Big Board directly collapsed onto the ground. Although there were scratches and blood stains all over his body, but from the fact that he was still standing, it could be seen that his willpower was much stronger than mine and Big Board's!
Seeing those bugs leave, Hua Zi walked towards me as if he didn't want to die, "Brother Zhou, why did those things suddenly leave?"
After hearing what he said, I pointed to the glowing stones on the ground with the engineer shovel in my hand, "Do you see those omnipresent stones? That rock was the bug egg of those bugs! The explosion a moment ago should have destroyed quite a few of the eggs. However, the aura of the broken eggs must have just floated to our side. "
"Oh, does that mean that other than us, there are other people in this space?"
"Do you remember the gunshots we heard when we entered the dragon's lair? "I reckon the other people in this space are those people!"
After saying that, I couldn't help but frown as I looked towards the direction of the explosion.
Logically speaking, those bugs were attacking us, so they shouldn't have posed a threat to those people. But why would there be an explosion when we were in danger? Could it be, the explosion just now was caused by Zhang Zikong, and it was because he discovered that we were in danger and was saving us?
But when he thought about it again, that was not right either!
With Zhang Zikong's heaven-defying intellect, it was impossible for him to be trapped here for four to five days without finding a way out! If even he is trapped here, then even if we die, we won't be able to get out!
But if the explosion was not caused by Zhang Zikong, then who was it? Moreover, what was this threat that forced them to use grenades?
Although we were very curious, for the sake of safety, we still took advantage of the time when the bugs were retreating to escape through the stone wall.
I don't know how far we walked until Huazhe said we couldn't hear the bugs anymore. Then we stopped to rest.
After stopping, we discovered that our bodies were already covered in scratches from the bugs! In addition, there were parts of his body that had already been ripped off. Needless to say, those bugs must have bitten him!
Fortunately, although these bugs are fierce, they don't seem to be poisonous. Although there are a lot of wounds on our body, the blood that seeps out from them is at least red in color!
As soon as I was quiet, I remembered what the ghoul had said earlier. I couldn't help but to ask about what happened after we came in.
However, their reply was almost the same as the ghoul's!
According to them, after being sucked in by the strange wind, they had been lingering inside for four to five days. If not for the bear meat stored in a waterproof plastic bag in Hua Zi and his backpack, they probably wouldn't have lived long by now even if they hadn't been eaten by a giant cockroach.
"Huge cockroaches?"
After hearing what they said, I felt a little strange. Even though I had only woken up less than an hour ago, judging from the swarm of bugs that covered the sky, there shouldn't be any other bugs inside! Furthermore, even if it had existed in the past, it should have long been destroyed by those locust-like insects.
However, they said that there was a huge cockroach in this space!
"That's right, Big Board is right. After I woke up, I did see a huge cockroach! And they were moving in groups! When I saw those cockroaches, the area around them was filled with the corpses of those bugs, and those cockroaches were currently eating those corpses! "
"More than that! I've also seen locusts eat the kind of shit that big cockroaches get rid of! It's as if the food for those things is the same as the feces! "
As soon as he finished his words, Hua Zi suddenly frowned!
Seeing this, we immediately looked around vigilantly, but Hua Zi didn't say anything. Instead, he frowned as he looked at a glowing stone beneath our feet!
As soon as I looked at the glowing stone, the stone actually dimmed down completely! Next, a locust the size of a thumb crawled out!
Seeing that thing coming out, Big Board immediately stepped forward and stomped on it, turning it into minced meat. At the same time, he kept twisting the tip of his foot, "You just f * cking bit me!" In the future, if you see one, trample one to death! "
However, when the large board stepped on the bug that just broke out of its shell, the wooden cow in my hand suddenly became hot!
Seeing this, I immediately pulled the two of them along the wall and ran out!
But before we could get far, Hua Zi immediately silenced us! Almost at the same time, I saw a bunch of shiny armoured bugs appear in front of us!
