Chapter 389 Corpse-eating bugs!
"Hiss-"
At first, the archaeological team did not notice it.
It was not until the branch made a rustling sound as it passed through the weeds and dead leaves that Gu Yang and Hawkeye realized something was wrong.
Gu Yang held the assault rifle tightly with both hands.
Use the flashlight worn on your head to continuously illuminate the grass ahead.
"Are there any snakes in this place?"
The words have not yet completely fallen.
A special forces soldier standing on his left fell on his back without any warning, his body hitting the ground with a dull "bang".
"Sun Hu!"
Gu Yang shouted the special forces soldier's name anxiously.
The beam of the military flashlight also moved quickly down along Sun Hu's body. After a moment, Gu Yang saw the real culprit who dragged Sun Hu away, a dry branch!
How can this be?
But how could such an ordinary-looking branch actually pull away a muscular man?!
"Hiss-"
Sun Hu reacted quickly and pulled out the military dagger on his calf to cut off the branch that was wrapped around his ankle, but the branch suddenly began to exert force, dragging Sun Hu's body towards the towering tree.
My back was suddenly rubbed by the ground!
In addition, the military dagger could not cut the dry branch at all. Sun Hu felt like a rat in an oil tank - he had the strength but could not use it!
Think of this.
Sun Hu was just about to shout for help!
Only the sound of "pattering" footsteps was heard, and then Hawkeye's rough hands grabbed Sun Hu's shoulders so nimbly.
However......
It's useless.
Even with Hawkeye's weight, the dry branch could effortlessly grab Sun Hu's ankle and pull him back.
It's just a pity for Hawkeye...
Sun Hu is fine.
He was carrying dozens of kilograms of supplies on his back, and he didn't feel any pain even if his ankles were grabbed and dragged on the ground. But Hawkeye was facing the ground with his front facing, and the pain from bumping into things on the ground was unbearable.
Hawkeye was about to let go.
Gu Yang's voice was faintly heard beside his ear: "Not enough?"
Hawkeye always feels that something bad is going to happen!
not good!
Then Gu Yang pounced on Hawkeye's back. He held Hawkeye's hands with both hands and grabbed Sun Hu's shoulders.
This time the branch finally slowed down.
"No! Let go... I feel my little brother is about to break apart!" Hawkeye howled hysterically.
The feeling of my little brother rubbing against the ground...is like having a circumcision without anesthesia!
Hawkeye: o(╥﹏╥)o
Fortunately, the pain didn't last long.
Because Qin An took action!
He drew out the ancient black gold knife and chopped it on the branch. The broken part of the branch died instantly, as if it had turned back into an ordinary branch.
But the remaining part shrank back into the towering tree at an extremely fast speed.
Now!
Qin An was completely certain.
The towering tree before you is the legendary Hydra cypress!
"You guys go back quickly! This thing is going to come alive soon! Gu Yang Eagle Eye, be prepared with Molotov cocktails! I'll be of great use to you when the time comes!"
Seeing Qin An’s serious expression.
Gu Yang and Sun Hu dare not neglect!
The two men picked up Hawkeye, who was still clamping his legs on the ground, and ran back.
"Boom boom boom——"
"Whoosh whoosh—"
at this time.
The towering tree behind them first made a shaking sound, and then the dense branches shot towards the direction of the archaeological team like thousands of arrows!
"Da da da da da da-"
The special forces quickly opened fire to cover Gu Yang, Hawkeye, Sun Hu and others' return.
at the same time.
The black gold ancient sword in Qin An's hand also ignited a raging flame!
"Old Hu! Use your diamond umbrella to protect me as I charge towards the Hydra cypress! We'll only be safe if we remove all the branches of this guy."
"it is good!"
Hu Jizhou did not hesitate.
He opened the Vajra Umbrella and stood in front of Qin An.
"Clap clap-"
Several dry branches hit the Vajra Umbrella like a whip, with such great force that Hu Jizhou almost couldn't hold the Vajra Umbrella. He couldn't imagine how painful it would be if this thing hit a person?
With the protection of the Vajra Umbrella.
Qin An could swing the black gold ancient sword in his hand unscrupulously.
All of a sudden!
Blazing sword qi flew towards the branches. The branches that shot towards the archaeological team were very dense, and almost every blade of qi could cut off several branches!
Not only that.
Even the assault rifles in the hands of the special forces and Gu Wuyan's three-legged purple toad can deal with these branches very well.
The situation was almost one-sided.
But soon... several branches hidden on the ground suddenly exerted force, they wrapped around the waists of the two special forces soldiers and Yang Lele, and pulled them back to the trunk of the Hydra cypress at an extremely fast speed.
"Ah——" Yang Lele screamed in shock.
The assault rifles in the hands of the two special forces also fell to the ground.
"Lele!"
Jiang Liuli and Zhang Sitian were very anxious.
Qin An also saw the scene of the three people being taken away.
Only then did he understand why the branches of the Hydra cypress were so easy to deal with... It turned out that this was just a trick to deceive the archaeological team, making them let their guard down. The real killer move was these branches that wanted to launch a sneak attack.
But what is puzzling is:
Although the Hydra cypress captured three people, it did not eat them or strangle them but left them on its roots as nutrients.
"Old Hu! Take the King Kong Umbrella and go back to protect the archaeological team!"
Qin An prepared to rescue the three people.
Hu Jizhou also guessed Qin An's intention, so he said without hesitation: "Okay! Brother Qin An, be careful!"
But just when Qin An was about to attack the Hydra Bai to rescue Yang Lele and the other two, dense crawling sounds suddenly rang out around the open space.
"This is... a corpse-eating bug?!"
Qin An's eyes fixed!
The wild grass and fallen leaves swayed, revealing dense honeycomb-like caves under the rock walls surrounding the clearing, and countless corpse-eating bugs were crawling out of these holes.
The whole body of the corpse-bug is green.
It's only the size of a child's palm!
Don't be fooled by its small size...but the deadly poison contained in its body can make life worse than death! Corpse-eating bugs usually feed on the internal organs of dead bodies, but they can also burrow into the bodies of living people.
Corpse-bugs like these, which come like a tide, are often the most torturous!
Because they crawl over people.
A rash will immediately appear on the skin wherever it touches, and spread throughout the body at an extremely fast speed, eventually causing death.
However, these densely packed corpse-bugs did not crawl towards the archaeological team, but instead crawled towards the Hydra cypress. Their target seemed to be Yang Lele and the other two who were entangled in the branches!
