"What is that?" Chen Tao looked at Hao Zi with a strange look on his face. Seeing that he was also confused, he turned to ask Ye Rong.
"Hey, do you know what that is?"
Ye Rong shook her head, stretched out her hand to push away the broken hair from her eyes, and frowned tightly: "I don't know, I have never seen such a strange thing."
The three of them looked at the bearded man and the others below again, and saw a huge black ball exposed among the broken sand cover. The surface of the black ball was uneven and covered with strange lines. Under the light of the jumping torch, , reflecting a strange light.
"Damn, what a big braised egg!"
"Damn you, how could that be braised eggs? Can your chicken butt be so big?" Chen Tao's mind was filled with dark thoughts, and he told Haozi to be careful and stop talking nonsense.
The bearded people below also seemed to be shocked by the things in the sand cover. They stood on the side and looked at it for a long time. A few bold ones even touched it with their hands. Chen Tao looked at it from above. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the few people who had touched the black ball, they felt strange in their hearts.
From the looks below, it seems that the big black ball is not dangerous, but what about the strange noise that Chen Tao and the others heard outside Shagai?
Haymerton below poked the big black ball with the muzzle of his gun. Seeing that the big black ball made no movement, he then asked several other people to push it a few times, but the big black ball did not move at all.
Through the gap in the crowd, Chen Tao could see that most of the big black ball was buried in the sand tray underneath, and only a small part was exposed.
On the other side, several more men climbed onto a sand tray and smashed the sand cover on it, revealing the contents inside.
It's another strange big black ball, but it's much smaller than the bearded one.
Chen Tao was a little surprised. Are there these big black balls under the sand covers?
But what on earth is that?
Haimoton was also very courageous. Seeing how weird these black balls were, he pulled out his long knife and slashed at the black balls. Hearing a crisp sound, the long knife struck the weird black balls hard. On top of the black ball, Chen Tao could see clearly from above. The black ball seemed to shake, but the bearded men did not notice it.
Clang.......
There was another crisp sound, and Chen Tao and the others seemed to be able to feel the violent vibration of the blade from a long distance away, which showed how much strength Haimoton had used.
Click, click, click...
There was a sound like the friction and collision of carapace from above the black ball. Then, in everyone's shocked eyes, the big black ball actually split from the middle, and several slender sticks protruded from the inside. Black pole.
wrong!
When Chen Tao took a closer look, his expression suddenly changed, and he almost jumped up in shock.
Those thin poles were clearly tentacles, covered with jagged black thorns. Looking at the big black ball again, there was a big gap on the ball, and then the gap became bigger and bigger. , unfolding in circles like a coil of iron wire.
This thing is actually a big black long insect!
I saw that this big insect was completely black.
A layer of black carapace grew from head to tail, with pairs of long black legs growing on both sides. Half of the body was raised high, and part of the bottom was still buried under the sand plate.
Roar......
The big insect let out a huge roar, and its long jaws opened like flowers. Little red lights lit up on its head, which turned out to be eyes!
Chen Tao counted them and found that there were as many as twelve eyes, some big and some small, and the biggest one was as big as a man's head.
The big insect struggled and twisted on the sand plate a few times, shook off the sand and gravel fragments on its body, opened its big mouth, and suddenly bit the nearest person.
Before the man had time to react, he was caught in the air. The two big jaws were grinding together, and half of the man's body was cut off in an instant. Blood splashed everywhere, his intestines were hanging out, and his legs were weak. It was resting on the insect's mouth and was even twitching continuously.
A sudden scene startled everyone. A few timid ones jumped off the sand tray and fell into the river below.
Haymorton and Big Beard reacted very quickly. They raised their rifles and fired at the big bug.
The bullet penetrated the big insect's carapace, popping green water out.
Roar!
The big insect vibrated in its mouth, let out a sharp roar, and bit down towards the bearded two people.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two bearded men jumped towards the nearest sand tray. The big insect behind them struggled violently for a few times, and its huge body was completely pulled out from the sand tray, and it was actually more than ten meters long.
Chen Tao also later learned from the ancient books and information left by his grandfather that this giant insect was an extremely ancient and rare giant insect that only lived in this mysterious underground river under the Tatunaan War God Palace. According to my grandfather's records, this underground river once had water, and there were many big fish in it. These large black millipedes initially feed on large fish in underground rivers. After the river dried up, these giant insects fed on the grim-faced giant bats above.
The sand disks in the river are not naturally formed, but are sand pupae made by these large bugs mixed with sand with their saliva and secretions. These giant bugs are extremely weird and have an extremely long lifespan. They have gradually adapted to the dry environment over thousands of years of evolution. They will only feed once every two or three years, and then they will burrow into their sand pupae and sleep forever.
The strange noise that Chen Tao and the others heard outside the sand cover was the breathing valve of the big insect in its deep sleep.
Besides, the big insect pulled out its body from the sand plate, probed the air with several large tentacles, let out a deafening roar, and crawled down the sand plate chasing Da Hu and others.
Da da da da da…
Da da da da da…
Shots of gunshots instantly rang out in the silent river.
ah! ! ! !
Suddenly, a scream came from the distance. In everyone's horror, they saw that the other big insect that had been smashed open the sand cover also woke up. The two big bugs pushed the bearded man and the others in tandem In the middle.
Roar! ! ! !
Click, click, click... click, click, click...
Unexpected
Unexpectedly, the two giant insects did not immediately attack Big Beard and the others. Instead, they faced each other in the air, holding up half of their bodies. Several slender tentacles trembled slightly in the air, making a strange clicking sound.
Da da da da da!
Bullets rushed towards the two big bugs like a flood, and the miserable green mucus flowed all over the ground. An unpleasant stench filled the air. The two big bugs moved their long legs and headed towards the big bugs in the rain of countless bullets. Huzi and the others crawled away quickly, the tentacles above their heads trembled more frequently, and the strange clicking sounds in the river became more and more intensive.
Seeing the pot exploding below, Chen Tao and the other three were startled. They looked at the big sand cover behind them as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions. Without thinking, they immediately burrowed towards the entrance of the cave from which they came. In the maze-like hole After crawling for a long time, I found an exit.
When I got out and took a look, it turned out to be another sand tray.
Chen Tao poked his head and looked down from the sand tray. He saw that he was still more than four meters high from the river below. He was hesitating whether to jump directly when he heard two strange screams from the bearded man. .
Roar! ! !
Roar! ! !
Under the dense rain of bullets, the two big insects let out a strange roar and fell to the ground with a bang. The huge insect bodies were like two trains.
The bearded man and the others were panting, loading bullets into their rifles one by one in embarrassment, looking at the sand trays around them with horror.
There was a brief silence in the river, and the three people who originally wanted to jump down and escape had to hide on the sand plate again.
Going down at this time is tantamount to asking for death.
Click...
Click click click...
Suddenly there was a cracking sound in his ears. Before Chen Tao could listen carefully, the cracking sound had become extremely dense.
"Tao...Taozi!"
Hao Zi behind him pointed at Sha Gai with a look of horror on his face and his voice was trembling: "This thing has cracked, and the big bug inside is going to come out!"
Seeing the dense cracks on the sand cover, which were still expanding, Chen Tao's head buzzed, and he was about to explode.
This time I came out and was really unlucky for eight lifetimes! Every time, I was driven towards death.
Before he had time to react, there was a sudden explosion above his head, and countless pieces of sand smashed down on his head and face. The three of them had no choice but to cover their heads and run into the cave.
Bang bang bang! ! !
The sound of explosions was getting louder and louder. Before Chen Tao and others could reach the cave, the big sand cover behind them also exploded. Amid the splash of mud and sand, a huge insect emerged from it. Twelve blood-red insects emerged from it. Chen Tao's big eyes flashed in the darkness, and Chen Tao's heart went crazy when he saw the two sharp jaws on his head.
"What are you doing standing there, run!" Haozi pushed Chen Tao and Ye Rong who were in a daze. At this time, the entrance of the cave was only three meters away from everyone.
But in Chen Tao's eyes, the road just a few steps away is so long.
Roar! ! !
The big insect soon discovered the three people below, let out a strange roar, and bit down on Chen Tao with its head as big as an ox.
"Ye Rong, be careful!"
Seeing that the big mouth was about to bite him off, Chen Tao exerted force on his feet and threw Ye Rong in front of him to the ground. The two of them rolled to the side of the stone wall.
boom! ! !
The big insect's head hit the stone wall hard, causing the sand and stones above its head to fall straight down. Then there was another strange roar, and the two big jaws came towards the two of them again.
Before Chen Tao and Ye Rong could get up from the ground, the big man had already rushed in front of them. Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Chen Tao pushed Ye Rong, and the two of them rolled on the ground. The big insect narrowly passed between them, and Chen Tao's arm even touched the big insect's head.
"Jump down!"
Everything happened so fast. Chen Tao stood up from the sand tray in a rolling motion, shouted at Haozi, Ye Rong and others, gritted his teeth and jumped off the sand tray.
Fortunately, there was soft yellow sand underneath, and the distance between the sand trays was not too high. The three of them rolled on the river and stood up. Their heads and necks were filled with sand and gravel, which rolled against their flesh and got into their clothes. The person who suffers is as uncomfortable as he or she is.
Chen Tao looked around hastily, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
"It's over, you're dead now!"
