Chapter 44 Chapter 44: Quicksand Trap

The sound from under the sand hadn't disappeared yet, and I suddenly heard countless muffled sounds from the darkness in the distance. It seemed that something had fallen from the top of the cave and fell into the quicksand.The sound is so dense that it almost rains at the end, and the amount of things falling should be quite a lot. The fat man was rolling vigorously, and stopped immediately when he heard the sound, and said to himself: "I seem to hear the sound of being unlucky." After speaking, he immediately sat down.We didn't have any self-defense on us, so the fat man took out those iron spikes.

I also knew that something must have happened, but when I looked around, I could only see quicksand, and the place where the sound came from was still a certain distance away. Although the "wolf's eyes" can illuminate very far, it is difficult to see the details clearly in the yellow sand. Even if you look far away, you can't see what is falling down. I feel uneasy, now we have no defense at all, once the chassis we are lying on is damaged, we will sink into the quicksand.Although the quicksand is not deep, it will not trap us to death, but we have also become turtles in the urn.To put it bluntly, assuming we were trapped in quicksand, even a few patient mosquitoes could bite us to death here.I said to the fat man: "Your broken 'toothpick' is of no use. Keep climbing. Climb as far as you can. Maybe it will make us stick to the side."

The fat man looked at the iron spike in his hand and nodded immediately: "Okay, let's go." We got down again and immediately started rolling and crawling.The fat man obviously accelerated his speed. Obviously, fear is the primary productive force of human beings. Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, something suddenly fell beside us. The fat man took a flashlight and saw that it was a piece of bone.The fat man took a flashlight to the roof of the cave again, and he saw that there were many corpses stuck on the roof of the cave.The bodies appeared to have been smashed and glued to the roof of the cave.At the same time, we found that the roof of the cave was shaking, and the corpses stuck to it were shaking, and debris fell from time to time.

The sound of objects falling to the ground continued to rain, and this time I heard it very clearly. The sound seemed to be moving and approaching us rapidly.The fat man pointed his flashlight in that direction, and he could vaguely see that the corpses were being shaken by something and fell down one after another. A huge shadow hanging upside down on the ceiling of the cave was looming under the light of the flashlight. This time, it is certain that this place seems to be a feeding ground.Therefore, the animals that enter the ventilation and lighting stone passages will eventually gather here and be disposed of by something here, but they don't know what this thing is.

Gou Ri's bad luck, why didn't this ghost figure say anything more to us.Knowing that there is this kind of design here, at least I won't run so fast and fall into such a simple trap.If we are careful, we may have entered the ancient building by now. I cursed in my heart, and felt very hopeless for a while.Judging by the surrounding situation and the size of the thing, it is impossible to run, even on a flat road, we can't run it.Is he going to be smashed to the top of the cave by this thing this time?In this state, it seems that there is no way to have a more dignified death.

Previous experience tells us that no matter what, we must persist until the last moment.The fat man handed me an iron spike, which was usually used by the Buddha in the past. At most, it would kill a widow or an unlucky old rich man who was awakened in the middle of the night.Although this thing is not easy to sell, it is considered an antique. I originally wanted to take it back as a souvenir, but I didn't expect that it would be such a thing to fight against now.It's also fortunate that this thing is very sharp, and if you greet anything, the other party will definitely not be too happy.

The fat man had a lot of trouble without a gun. We stepped on the skeleton of the chassis, half bent over, and waited for this thing to approach.In this way, we can at least choose whether to jump out to avoid it or take the opportunity to counterattack when it attacks for the first time. However, we put on shelves for a long time, and the thing stopped around us.I thought to myself, this thing is so big, it's quite cautious, what the hell is it?Is it alive or dead?Looking at the huge shadow on the roof of the cave in the distance, the sweat in my hands squeezed out from between my fingers.How could a living creature appear in such a place? I have never seen such a beast before, and a dead creature should not have such cautious actions.

At this time, the sand in front of us suddenly wavered, and a sand wave rolled in front of us. I shone my flashlight on the surface of the quicksand, just in time to see a sudden change in the bone that had just fallen from the quicksand.The bone seemed to be alive, crawling on the sand. The bone twisted in the sand, the cotton-like thing on it was shrinking and expanding, and several black tentacles could be seen sticking out from under the bone. When we turned our eyes to the top of the cave, we were even more dumbfounded.I saw that the bones stuck on the roof of the cave all moved, and a large number of black tentacles as thick as toothpicks stretched out.

These tentacles trembled, as if thorns had suddenly sprouted from the entire cave roof.Soon, many bugs fell from the top of the cave, all black and about the size of a fingernail, and immediately crawled into the quicksand and disappeared.The fat man reacted quickly, and immediately picked up another chassis as an umbrella to cover our heads, so that we were not covered by bugs. I knew immediately what it was.This is a caddisworm, a very common aquatic pest. I don't know why it can survive on land here.This kind of insect will use the liquid it secretes to stick many stones and bones into a cocoon and hide itself in it.This thing bites people very painful, but its mobility is not strong, and it usually only escapes from its cocoon when it is violated.

The fat man's hand was bitten several times because he grabbed the "umbrella", and it swelled up quickly.While I asked him to use iron spikes instead of hands to hold the umbrella, I calmed him down: "This bug is not an aggressive bug." The fat man said: "I don't think so. If we turn into the quicksand, it will become the best food for these bugs. They will definitely eat us clean." Soon, most of the caddisworms on the roof of the cave fell into the quicksand.The fat man quickly put down the "umbrella", and I suddenly understood that the bugs on it were transported up one by one and glued together.The fat man used the "umbrella" as a shovel to shovel the sand, and found that almost all caddis worms were under the surface of the sand.

The fat man scolded: "Fuck, I'm not afraid that we will starve to death anymore. The protein content of these things must be super high. Let's eat this food more cleanly and nutritiously than eating in the city." I looked at the black shadow squatting in the distance, and thought that this thing probably had the same idea as ours: I don’t have to worry about starving to death anymore, and these two things seem to be very nutritious. I said to the fat man: "If you want to eat you, the more nutritious you eat, the more delicious it will be when others eat you. Let's continue to withdraw while that big guy is still pretending to be literary. It didn't respond to such a big movement, saying Maybe it didn't pay attention to us at all." The fat man said: "Impossible, it is in the direction we are going, we have to pass under it. Damn, I really don't have this kind of fun." I said, "Then what do you think? Wait for it to suddenly change its mind and kill us all, or wait for it to die of boredom?" "It's going to attack us, we have nothing to do, don't think about it." Fatty kept changing the chassis in his hands and continued to move forward, while looking around, "The best way is to find a place to hide, this place is too big, Let's use flashlights as bait." "Is it attracted by the light?" I wondered, "The sika deer that fell here didn't have a flashlight. I think it's probably smell and sound." "Which one is it?" "The smell is more likely." I said, and the fat man immediately took out a bottle from his pocket. "What is this thing?" "Huoxiangzhengqi water, help, hurry up." The fat man took off his socks, put the bottle inside, and then swung it like a meteor hammer, throwing the bottle out at the fastest speed.The bottle flew in an arc and hit the pillar on one side, and the sound of the bottle breaking could be heard. "The water smells very strong. If it is attracted by the smell, it may be able to lure it there." The shadow didn't respond. "Maybe your socks are too smelly, covering up the smell of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water." I said. Could it be the sound?I thought to myself, too many things fell from above just now, so the black shadow stopped, was it to wait for the sound to subside? There was still the sound of bugs falling all around, but the sound was getting softer and softer.I became uneasy, looked at the black shadow, and suddenly yelled. Sure enough, the black shadow moved, and the fat man immediately covered my mouth and asked me why. I said: "This thing seems to judge our position by sound, and its ability to distinguish sound is not particularly good. If there is a little interference, it will not be able to judge our position. We have to be prepared and wait for the sound When it's completely quiet, we must not make any noise." After the fat man heard this, he became excited instead: "This is too passive. If this is the case, we should take this opportunity to kill it." I thought to myself that even if you can touch it, given our current situation, it is too difficult to touch the top of the cave.While speaking, the black shadow suddenly shrank back. We were taken aback and saw the black figure slowly recede into the darkness.
