Before Lin Yi finished speaking, the pickaxe in assistant Xiao Liu's hand had already fallen.
The small sand dune, which was about half a meter long, collapsed suddenly.
The hollow, hardened sand layer was scattered piece by piece under their feet like a shell, revealing a small hole in the ground.
Xiao Liu, who was holding the pickaxe, was suddenly at a loss.
"I just dug it lightly, and that's it."
"Back off!"
Lin Yi lowered his voice as much as possible and gestured towards Xiao Liu and the others.
The two men woke up as if from a dream, carrying their tools and retreating several meters away.
"Old Lin, what kind of lair did you say this was?" Wang Qiang also rushed over and asked.
"Desert mole cricket. Everyone, don't move for now and stay quiet where you are!"
Lin Yi walked closer and made a silent gesture to everyone, keeping a certain distance from the broken sand dune and watching.
"Desert cricket? Isn't that just a cricket? A country dog? Is this a big deal?" Wang Qiang said dismissively.
"We have a saying, you can't grow crops if you listen to the cries of crickets? These things are everywhere. Is the anchor a little too sensitive?"
"That is to say, there are so many strange people in the city. When I was a child, I worked for my family. I could dig out a nest with a hoe, and I would catch them all and feed them to the chickens."
"My brother Kun is still not picky about food!"
"Seriously, this is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. What does it look like?"
"Hey, it looks and is about the same size as a cricket. It has a big head, a big belly, and two big pincers on its mouth. It's quite painful to pinch people. It burrows into the soil and eats the roots of crops."
"Why are the anchors so nervous? What's so scary about this thing? I can crush it with two fingers."
Friends in the live broadcast room began to tease Lin Yi for making a fuss out of a molehill.
"Now everyone listen to my command. People on this side of the cave should find their own vehicles. Get in the vehicle first, don't start it, wait until all our people get in the vehicle, and then leave this area at full speed together.
The eldest brother helped Lan Yun's brothers to bring Professor Yu and Mr. Lu over one by one. Remember, don't make too much noise again. "
Members of Abdul and Lan Yun carefully walked around the hole and carefully brought Professor Yu and Mr. Lu to the side of the motorcade.
Lin Yi kept staring at the cave, fearing that something would suddenly emerge from inside.
Wang Qiang pushed him with his shoulder.
"Don't create tension. What's going on here? If it's really a cricket, why are we so scared?"
The water friends in the anchor room also echoed.
"Yes, what Fat Brother said makes sense. No matter how it is a desert mole cricket, it is just a mole cricket. The hole is only about the size of two fingers. How big can it grow?"
"I feel it's not that simple. The anchor has never been so nervous."
Professor Yu and others finally withdrew to the vicinity of the vehicle, and Lan Yun's brothers arranged for people to board the vehicle in an orderly manner.
Lin Yicai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone getting on the bus.
"The desert mole cricket is different from the mole crickets we have seen. In its larval stage, it can grow to ten centimeters long and two or three centimeters thick. It burrows into the sand and feeds on carrion and corpses. It has a strong reproductive ability. The adults lay their eggs. It hatches in a corpse in ten days.”
"It's so disgusting, anchor, I'm going to vomit out the last night's meal."
"Eating carrion? Dead bodies? How could there be such a disgusting thing?"
"It's ten centimeters long and two or three centimeters thick, so you don't need to be so careful, right?"
Just as Lin Yi was about to continue speaking, a harsh honking sound suddenly came from some car, and someone pressed the car horn by mistake.
"F*ck! Something bad is going to happen! Lao Wang, big brother, get in the car. Everyone, hurry up and start the car. Press the accelerator to the bottom and run away. Hurry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, signs of loosening of the sand began to appear above the small hole.
The surrounding sand began to converge toward the hole.
The hole opened wider and wider, and slowly a huge creature covered with yellow sand crawled out of it.
As it slowly climbed out of the cave and shook off the sand and soil all over its body, everyone saw its true face.
This is actually a giant mole cricket, lying on the ground, it is as big as an adult Komodo dragon.
The whole body is covered with thick armor, reflecting colorful light in the sun.
A pair of huge mouthparts only pointed forward, as long as an ordinary human arm, covered with jagged protrusions, interlaced canine teeth, and covered with mucus.
The two long whiskers are like two whips, covered with fine barbs dancing back and forth.
The six short legs were clinging to the ground, and his head was looking around, looking for the source of the sound.
"Oh my god! This thing is so big!"
"Who said just now that you can crush it to death with two fingers? Come out and take a few steps!"
"He also said that it hurts when someone is pinched by this thing. It's more than just pain. If someone gets pinched by it, he or she will die."
"I'm afraid my brother Kun won't be able to handle this stuff, so I have to ask the Pleiades Star Officer to come over."
"Damn it, no wonder the anchor is so careful. This thing is simply a super plus version of the mole cricket I've seen!"
"This is simply the ancestor of the mole cricket!"
The entire convoy is now in chaos. Where have the drivers seen such a thing?
Now I step on the accelerator and run wildly.
Several cars fled in all directions, rolling up sand and dust all over the sky, causing the desert mole cricket to suddenly lose its target.
"Old Lin, this thing looks quite bluffing, but it turns out he's blind! Why should we walk him? Just step on the accelerator and go."
Wang Qiang slapped the steering wheel and shouted with a smile.
"The desert mole cricket's eyes have almost degenerated, so it is particularly sensitive to sound. We can only adopt roundabout tactics now, and then drive away from this area one by one."
Lin Yi held up the walkie-talkie and said to everyone.
As soon as he put down the walkie-talkie, he saw a head sticking out of the window of the camera car.
It's Bai Lu.
She was flying a drone, trying to capture a close-up view of this rare desert mole cricket.
"Unlucky thing!"
Lin Yi cursed, picked up the walkie-talkie again and yelled angrily.
"397, 397, do you want your life? Take your drone back quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the desert mole cricket was attracted by the sound of the drone and rushed up the sand dune at an extremely fast speed, waving its two long beards and splitting Bai Lu's drone into pieces from the air.
He came close and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word.
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, made an apologetic gesture towards Lin Yi's car, and quickly closed the window.
"Anchor, you are so manly!"
"real man!"
At this moment, a Toyota Land Cruiser painted in military green rushed out of the convoy and suddenly increased its power to break out of the roundabout.
"This old bastard wants to escape by himself at the critical moment."
Wang Qiang yelled and cursed loudly.
It turned out that Sun Bingjun saw that the situation was somewhat dangerous, and when the desert crickets were attracted by the drone, he quickly urged the driver to increase his power and rush out to escape.
Unexpectedly, after the Desert Mole cricket discovered their car, he did not rush to chase it. Instead, he stood on the spot and tapped the ground rhythmically.
Not long after Sun Bingjun's car rushed out, a huge sand pit suddenly appeared in front of the tire. The car could not dodge and rolled directly to the ground.
