Chapter 350 Red Worm
Chapter 350 Red Worm
Everyone hurriedly picked up their belongings and were about to mount their horses to leave when they suddenly heard a snap and a gray, black, soft object fell straight down from the tree and landed among the insect swarm.
When everyone looked over, they saw a small, ugly, gray-black beast with sharp claws and slow movements.
As soon as the little beast fell into the swarm of insects, dozens or even hundreds of red worms crawled onto its body. The little beast was so frightened that it let out a piercing scream. But its movements were so slow that it could not stop the worms from crawling all over its body.
Everyone was unable to protect themselves and could only watch as the swarm of red insects crawled all over the little animal's body.
As more and more red worms crawled onto its body, the little animal's screams became quieter and quieter, and its movements became slower and slower, until it was completely motionless. It was obviously bitten to death by the red worms.
Less than half a minute later, the red worms crawled off the beast again. Its entire body had dried up, leaving only a hairy shell. Except for the skeleton and skin, the flesh and internal organs on its body had been eaten away. Long red worms crawled in and out of the eye sockets and teeth of the beast's body, and the scene was extremely terrifying.
Zhou Weiyi's stomach suddenly churned, and he held his stomach and started vomiting.
When everyone looked up, they saw a lot of long red worms crawling on the tree trunks and branches in the nearby woods. The little animal must have been frightened and fell down, but it was eaten by the worms in an instant, leaving only skin and bones.
Chu Xiaomu broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that it was fortunate that the strange creature woke him up, otherwise if he had woken up half an hour later, this team of nine people and eight horses would have become empty shells just like the little beast.
In addition to the two-meter-wide circle where the nine people were standing, the red worms had already covered the entire open space. Even the branches and under the surrounding trees were covered with worms. And they were crawling closer and closer to the fire in the middle...
With no way to escape, everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Su Mishun shouted, "Brother Xiaomu, think of a solution quickly." His voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was extremely frightened.
Chu Xiaomu had never encountered such a situation before, and his mind was in a mess. How could he think of a good solution? He hurriedly pulled out a burning branch from the fire and threw it into the red worms on the ground, burning several of them to death. However, more red worms crawled up and submerged the burning stick. It seemed that these red worms were not afraid of fire.
Zhang Hou asked, "Are there any trees or grasses that can kill these insects like mosquitoes?"
Wu Sheng said, "So what if there is one? Even if it is nearby, would you dare to break or chop it? I think everyone should not waste the energy. Just sit here and wait to die."
Chu Xiaomu was so angry that he shouted, "Shut up!" Wu Sheng had never seen Chu Xiaomu so angry. If it were any other time, he would definitely have said a few more words to him, but this time he didn't dare to talk back.
Chu Xiaomu drew out the black iron sword from his waist, walked to the swarm of insects and chopped them fiercely, looking like a madman. Although he killed dozens or hundreds of them, there were more than hundreds of millions of red worms here, so how could he kill them all?
Wangang said: "Xiaomu, it's useless, let's think of other ways..."
Wu Sheng could not help but wanted to speak again. Just as he said the words "What can we do?", Chu Xiaomu glared at him fiercely. He had to swallow back the rest of the sentence, "Let's just wait to die obediently."
Chu Xiaomu walked over to Qisheng and stroked his head, muttering, "Chenghuang, Chenghuang, is there any way to save us? Please..." Qisheng was growing very fast. He was born in mid-winter last year. He was less than a year old at this time, but he was already as tall as Chu Xiaomu's nose. Half of his fur had turned golden, and the whole thing looked dark gold, which was quite strange.
Everyone thought that Chu Xiaomu must have been so anxious and scared that he was confused. The horse was clearly called Qisheng, but he even called the wrong name. Alas... Wu Sheng was right, it seemed that he was doomed today.
Several people silently picked up the spears and swords on the ground, and picked away or killed some of the red worms that had crawled close... However, this could not stop the advance of the red worm army at all, and the circle left for everyone was getting smaller and smaller.
Su Mishun no longer had the courage to even pick up the gun. He sat on the ground, trembling all over.
Qisheng suddenly stood up on his hind legs and whinnied a few times. Then he swung all four hooves and ran forward wildly, disappearing in an instant.
Chu Xiaomu thought, go, go, it’s better for you to escape, there’s no need to follow us and die here.
Ling Weidou shouted loudly: "Brother Xiaomu, Brother Shunzi, come and help! Hold on as long as you can!"
Chu Xiaomu woke up with a start, picked up the spear and began to beat the red worms, but Su Mishun was still trembling and unable to move. Zhou Weide cursed angrily: "Useless thing!"
The more they hit the red worms, the more they appeared. They gradually crawled to the feet of the people. Some worms began to crawl up their trouser legs and onto their bodies. Everyone had no choice but to drop their spears and slap the worms that were crawling onto their bodies.
Su Mishun was originally protected by the crowd, but everyone was busy with their own business and didn't notice that several red worms had crawled onto his body. Su Mishun screamed in fear, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and ran in the direction where Qisheng ran.
Everyone was horrified and tried to pull it away but it was too late.
Chu Xiaomu didn't care about the red worms crawling on his body, and hurriedly raised his legs to chase them, but was grabbed by Lin Zhen, who shouted: "It's too late, don't you want to live too?!"
Su Mishun ran about seven or eight feet, and dense red worms had already crawled all over his waist. Then he fell to the ground, and like the little beast, his whole body was instantly covered with red worms.
The other eight people were so frightened by the scene that they even forgot to swat away the bugs that were crawling on their bodies. Zhou Weiyi shouted "Brother Shunzi!" and burst into tears.
Zhou Weide's eyes were filled with tears as he murmured, "Shunzi, De'er... De'er shouldn't... shouldn't have scolded you. You... you don't run away..."
Chu Xiaomu took two long breaths, slapped off the three red worms on his body, and then slapped off the red worms crawling on everyone else's body. He picked up the spear on the ground, shook off the red worms on it, and said, "Qisheng has gone to think of a way, everyone hold on for a while..."
Wu Sheng threw away the spear in his hand and said in a crying voice: "Shunzi... Shunzi is dead! Hold on... hold on for nothing!"
Lin Zhen, Zhang Hou, Wang Gang and the others also dropped their spears, squatted on the ground and cried, not caring about the long red worms that had already crawled up their feet, legs, and waists...
Chu Xiaomu panted heavily, broke the wooden spear into two parts, and kept hitting off more and more bugs that were crawling onto people and horses.
Suddenly, there was a whistling sound of wind and the sky darkened...
