Chapter 390 Killing each other!
[Oh my god! What's the origin of this towering tree? Why can its branches expand and contract? Is this the thousand-year-old tree demon from A Chinese Ghost Story?]
[Hurry up and invite Master Yan Chixia! ]
[I think these towering trees are okay...but the dense swarms of bugs on the ground are scaring me to death! I have trypophobia.]
Finally, I saw a "locust swarm" in real life. But with so many bugs, even if I just stood still and let Gu Yang and the others step on them, it would take me half an hour, right?
[It's one thing after another... I haven't figured out this tree yet! And now a bunch of bugs appear out of nowhere! The key is that Yang Lele and the two special forces soldiers have been captured.]
[No! These bugs seem to be crawling towards Yang Lele and the others.]
..........
The facts are just as netizens said.
These densely packed corpse-bugs completely ignored the archaeological team members on the river bank. They were crawling non-stop towards Yang Lele and the two special forces soldiers who were entangled.
There are obviously more people on the river bank!
Are these corpse-eating bugs so intelligent?
They knew that if they chased the people on the riverbank, they would most likely return empty-handed! However, Yang Lele and the other two special forces soldiers, entangled in the branches, had no ability to resist!
All of a sudden!
A thought appeared in Qin An's mind:
There must be a corpse-eating king among this group of corpse-eating bugs!
"Swish—"
The dense swarm of corpse-eating bugs looked like a green tide.
They rushed towards Yang Lele and the two special forces soldiers who were hanging in the air at an extremely fast speed. The rustling sounds made by these corpse-bugs as they crawled together were more terrifying than the sound of the branches whipping just now.
Yang Lele, who was hanging in the air, turned pale with fright!
Tears welled up in my eyes!
But she bit her lips tightly and dared not make any sound.
Because the more the person entangled by the Hydra cypress struggles and makes noise, the tighter the branches will be!
The other two special forces soldiers were relatively calm.
They carefully took out the grenades from their bodies. As long as the corpse-bugs dared to crawl onto their bodies, they would pull the grenades and die together.
however.
Qin An, however, did not take any action.
His eyes swept back and forth between the group of corpse-eating insects and the Hydra Cypress. He found that he seemed to have been thinking the wrong thing from the beginning! The group of corpse-eating insects did not attack others, but only the three people captured by the Hydra Cypress.
This is in addition to the orders from the Corpse-Eating King!
I'm afraid there are other reasons!
Considering that Hydra Cypress had not killed Yang Lele and the other two until now, Qin An finally understood everything.
This Hydra cypress and the corpse-eating bugs probably have a symbiotic relationship!
In other words, the Hydra is responsible for catching people, and the corpse-eating bugs are responsible for eating them!
The corpse-eating bugs then excrete on the roots of the Hydra cypress.
The two work together!
Corpse-eating bugs can fill your stomach.
The Hydra cypress can also get nutrients.
After figuring out the key point, Qin An had a bold idea. He turned around and shouted, "Gu Yang! Molotov cocktail!"
Gu Yang was well prepared.
He quickly raised the military Molotov cocktail and threw it hard at the area where the corpse-eating bugs were most concentrated!
"boom--"
The Molotov cocktail exploded the moment it hit the ground!
High-temperature flames burst out...A burnt smell emerged from the corpse-bugs that came into contact with the flames, and the flames illuminated the shells on the corpse-bugs.
But this is only temporary!
The corpse-eating bugs that came later quickly avoided the flames.
Continue to crawl towards Yang Lele and the other two in mid-air.
"It's not enough! Throw more! Throw Hawkeye too!" Qin An shouted while swinging his knife to cut off the branches that wanted to attack the archaeological team from the side.
After a while.
Gu Yang, Hawkeye and others threw out Molotov cocktails one after another.
But the number of corpse-eating bugs is just too large!
The flames simply cannot completely cover the path that the corpse-eating bugs must pass through!
But there was only one road that was not covered by flames...so the corpse-bugs huddled together and passed through that road.
See the time is ripe.
Qin An suddenly changed direction. He no longer swung his knife at the branches that were shooting towards the crowd, but instead rushed towards the trunk of the Hydra cypress.
"Lao Hu! Cover me!"
Hu Jizhou immediately understood.
He thrust the Vajra umbrella in his hand forward suddenly, blocking seven or eight branches while whipping them, and the umbrella made a muffled "bang bang bang" sound.
Take advantage of the time when these branches are retracted!
Qin An kicked on the umbrella of the King Kong Umbrella, and then he flew onto the trunk of the Hydra Cypress like a cannonball.
Qin An’s landing position was just right!
It was both below Yang Lele and the two special forces soldiers, and right above the group of corpse-eating bugs.
"Pfft-"
Qin An cut his palm with the black gold ancient knife.
All of a sudden!
A few strands of Qilin's precious blood spilled out,
Qin An swung forward with all his strength.
The dense swarms of corpse-eating bugs smelled the scent of Qilin's blood and fell down like dominoes. Only the corpse-eating king, which was red in color and had wings, was not scared away!
"I found you!" Qin An said coldly.
All the preparations made before were to find the Corpse-Eating King!
As the saying goes, catch the leader first!
Before the Corpse-Eating King could react to what was happening... the ancient black gold sword pierced its body at an extremely fast speed.
Kill the Corpse-Eating Queen.
Qin An's eyes flashed and he swung the black gold ancient knife again to chop at the branch wrapped around Yang Lele's waist.
"sand--"
The branch was cut in half!
The force wrapped around Yang Lele's waist suddenly loosened!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin An quickly reached out and pulled Yang Lele into his arms.
"Get on my back and hold me tight!" Qin An said lightly.
"Ah good!"
Yang Lele didn't care about her joy and quickly climbed onto Qin An's back, hugged Qin An's neck tightly with both hands, and put her legs through the front and hooked them together.
Seeing Yang Lele hugging herself tightly!
Qin An was also able to free up his hands to rescue the other two special forces soldiers.
at this time.
A corpse-bug bypassed Qilin Baoxue and crawled along the tree trunk to within half a meter of one of the special forces soldiers. The special forces soldier was so anxious that he raised his foot to kick it, but was entangled by the branches and could not move.
Qin An is quick-eyed and quick-handed.
He slashed at the corpse-eating bug with a knife and split it into two halves!
Then he used the same trick again with the black gold ancient knife to cut through the branches, and took advantage of the gap when the branches loosened to instantly save the two people.
Qin An held the two special forces soldiers under his armpits, jumped off the Hydra Cypress with Yang Lele on his back, and retreated to the area where the archaeological team was under the cover of Hu Jizhou.
at this time!
The Hydra cypress suddenly made a low "boom" sound.
Then the whole tree began to shake violently!
The branches that were originally shot at the archaeological team members inexplicably changed direction and hit the group of corpse-eating bugs on the ground!
Hawkeye was stunned: "What's going on?"
Qin An explained:
"These bugs are corpse-eating bugs! This tree is a Hydra cypress! They originally had a symbiotic relationship! Once the Hydra cypress entangles its enemy, it sends a signal to the corpse-eating bugs to climb up the tree and feed!"
"Over time, these corpse-eating bugs developed a bad habit: they only eat people on the Hydra Cypress tree! But with the presence of the Corpse-Eating King, they can be commanded to attack enemies outside the tree."
"But I just killed the Corpse-Eating King!"
"When the corpse-bugs climbed up the tree and saw no food, they mistakenly thought the Hydra Cypress was playing a trick on them. So they started gnawing at the tree's roots, and the Hydra Cypress then used its branches as a whip to beat them."
