Lin Yi made up his mind, took out four kerosene packets in succession, lit the igniter and was about to throw them out.
He heard a rush of footsteps behind him.
"Damn it, you peeled old rice dumpling, I'll take this from you, Mr. Wang!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yi saw several broken bricks flying above his head.
With the whistling wind, it hit the "insect man" who was leading the attack.
Wang Qiang grew up with his grandparents. Basically, he was a left-behind child back then. He had many fights since he was a child.
Later, I joined the army, and I was on the border. I definitely couldn't have a shootout with my neighbor, but I didn't say no bricks would be allowed to fly. 1
Throwing bricks to gain the upper hand and suppress the opponent's first wave of offensive is a routine operation for him.
Before swimming into the passage, he picked up a lot of bricks and stones at the entrance and took them with him. When he came up, he first gave the "Insect Man" a showdown.
"Why are you down?" Lin Yi turned around and asked.
"Aren't we here to help you? How about I strike first, okay?"
Not to mention, although Wang Qiang's sudden appearance of this "three-axe" failed to cause substantial damage to these "insect people", it stunned these "insect people" and slowed down their progress significantly.
When his headlight illuminated the equipment in the hands of Lin Yi and Bai Lu, he was dumbfounded.
"What's going on here? The bow and crossbow were used? Didn't you stop him?"
"My bow can't break through the defense at all. The crossbow arrows hit the vital points. These 'insect men' can't feel pain and can't affect their actions at all."
"Then are you preparing?"
"Roasted by fire, I don't believe this thing is not afraid of fire!"
"Open up!"
Lin Yi held the kerosene packets, and Wang Qiang lit the lighter, lit the fuse, and threw four kerosene packets in succession.
The thin outer shell of the kerosene bag immediately cracked as soon as it touched the body of the "Insect Man", and large amounts of kerosene sprayed on the body of the "Insect Man".
The "Insect Man" instantly turned into a "Fire Man" on the spot.
The entire Shinto began to be filled with the pungent smell of burning kerosene.
The "Insect Man" had no sense of pain and would not let out any screams, but the three-eyed centipedes attached to him did not get off him and chose to escape.
This is a bit strange.
Just before the three of them figured out the situation, a magical scene happened again.
The "bug man" began to drop slime from his body in large chunks, and each piece of slime could take away the kerosene attached to his body.
Soon a large pool of mucus gathered at their feet, and the fire on their bodies gradually dissipated until it was completely extinguished.
The three people were completely dumbfounded.
This was the first time they had seen a monster that was not even afraid of fire attacks.
The "Insect Man" shook off the kerosene, and his body once again secreted a thick layer of dense mucus.
Approaching the three of them again.
It now appears that speed may be his only weakness.
"I can't keep up with this thing. How about we give it a try?"
Wang Qiang's suggestion sounds quite reasonable.
But in practice, it is not easy.
The two "bug men" are slow, but their control range is not small.
Once contaminated with the highly toxic mucus on their bodies, the consequences would be disastrous.
It is unknown what the situation is at the end of the Shinto. There is still a way of retreat behind us. If we rush over rashly and there is no way out, wouldn't we be blocked inside?
"Now it seems that the weak point of this 'bug man' should be in his abdomen, but there is a three-eyed centipede with armor stacked there. We can't fight in close combat, so we have to find other ways."
Bai Lu squatted on the ground, holding the elite crossbow, always paying attention to the movements of the "Insect Man".
The elite crossbow in her hand is currently the only long-range weapon that can cause damage to the "Insect Man".
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, Qian Sheng's voice came from the other end of the intercom.
"Brother, are you carrying the coarse salt I bought on your back?"
"Salt?"
Lin Yi was stunned, then reached out and took out two large bags of coarse salt from his waterproof backpack.
I heard Mr. Bai say before that salt is a good thing. In the early years, craftsmen who went to the fields would always carry a bag of coarse salt with them.
It can save lives when you are dehydrated, can disinfect wounds, and can also be used as a fire starter at critical moments.
The most important thing is that large grains of salt have the effect of warding off evil spirits and can contain the energy of ghosts. Salt symbolizes the blessing of gods and is regarded as a sacred item, representing purity and light.
Therefore, when making a list of necessities, make a special note to ask Qian Sheng to buy some coarse salt and bring it with you.
But if you want to deal with the "worm man" in front of you, it has nothing to do with any of the effects of coarse salt.
"Third brother, are you hungry or something else? You still want to sprinkle salt on something that can't be ignited?"
"It's not me, it's Brother Wu who said that when they were young, there were often slugs in the yard, so they sprinkled them with salt, and soon the slugs turned into a puddle of water.
Fifth brother said that the mucus all over this thing might be like a slug, afraid of salt. "
"Yes! Why didn't I think of that just now!"
This slimy species is not afraid of water or fire, but is afraid of lime and salt.
They were in the north and didn't see much of slugs, also known as slugs.
This kind of thing is like a snail that has shed its shell, covered with mucus, because more than 90% of their bodies are water.
Salt has dehydrating properties and is simply the nemesis of these species.
"Thank you, Fifth Brother, for your guidance!"
Lin Yi shouted into the intercom, then immediately reached out to tear open the package of coarse salt, took out a handful, and threw it towards the "Insect Man".
As soon as the coarse salt came into contact with the surface of its torso, the "Insect Man" immediately began to twist its body and stopped moving at the same time.
"It works! It really works! Look, just do it!"
Wang Qiang held up a large handful of coarse salt with both hands and sprinkled it over the "Insect Man".
Several handfuls in a row, the coarse salt almost covered the entire surface of the "Insect Man"'s body.
Although they felt no pain, the mucus on their bodies began to become less viscous, and then flowed down their bodies like melted chocolate.
It didn't take long for this sticky protective layer to peel off from the "Insect Man".
The exposed muscle tissue on the "Insect Man" immediately changed from bright red to a dark red, looking no different from a mummy.
"Lulu, put on the oil!"
"receive!"
Bai Lu put down the elite crossbow in her hand, took out several kerosene bottles from her bag, lit the fuses, and threw them towards the "Insect Man".
The outer shell of the kerosene bottle cracked and came into contact with the "Insect Man"'s body, immediately igniting a raging fire.
The remaining salt on their bodies can also help fuel the fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. The two "bug men" have now completely turned into "fire men", and they finally stopped moving.
Those three-eyed centipedes still did not give up their parasitic bodies at this moment, and they were crackling with fire.
The air was filled with the smell of burning kerosene and the smell of roasted protein materials.
As the fire grew stronger, the two "bug men" had been burned to charcoal.
