What Will Be the End of the Five Hundred and Twentieth Tunnel?
When the large black shadow in the western sky appeared, it was the time when Luo and the others looked at the blood trees around them, so they noticed the black shadow as soon as they raised their eyes.
It was black and dense, like dark clouds driven by a strong wind, but even though it was still very far away, Luo and Bisji still judged that this large black shadow was a group of flying creatures, like a swarm of locusts.
The group of flying creatures that couldn't see the shape came very quickly, and then Luo noticed that the group of flying creatures dropped black lines along the way, directly landing on the blood tree on the ground.
There is no sand on the bare ground, only rocks and a kind of tree.
This tree is called the dragon's blood tree. It is rooted on rocks and cannot live without water. It is often used to secrete a fragrance that lures prey from the roots, so that the underground creatures will actively dig the ground and bring them to the door.
The fragrance can lure many underground creatures, but the cockroaches are reluctant to touch the dragon blood tree, probably because they hate the smell.
Luo didn't get much information based on the Baiyan font. After all, the Baiyan font is not omnipotent, so he was surprised when the resin condensed into a pile of fruits standing above the tree canopy.
What followed was an even more surprising scene.
As the large black shadow got closer and closer, I finally saw their faces clearly, and also saw clearly that the group of flying creatures were coming towards the dragon blood tree.
The flying objects are giant dragonflies the size of helicopters, with two huge blue eyes on top of their heads, and their bodies are as straight as slender sniper bullets. They are legless and have two pairs of wings. mouthparts.
The huge dragonfly that separated from the battle used the slender mouthparts at the end of the tail to pierce the translucent fruit made of resin condensed by the dragon's blood tree, like sucking jelly, and absorbed it in an instant.
There are too many dragonflies. When eating the resinous fruit, it seems to be snatching food, shaking off large leaves, and even the smaller dragon's blood trees have their heads shaved directly.
The dragon blood tree where Luo is located is located on the edge of the red land, closest to the coastline, so it is the last place the dragonflies will take care of, and there is enough time to think about how to deal with it.
Just now, Luo and Bisji were still speculating that humans might be able to live in trees to avoid threats from various creatures, but the sudden appearance of a large number of dragonflies ruthlessly overturned their guesses.
With the threat of this dragonfly, it is basically impossible for humans to live in trees, so how did the footprints on the resin come from?
Unfortunately, without borrowing instruments and knowledge, it is difficult to tell when the footprints in the resin were made.
There is no extra time to think about those things, and the dragonflies will probably arrive at the dragon blood tree where they are in a dozen seconds.
"Down the tree."
Luo hastily took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the resin footprints, and then grabbed the numb Dongba and jumped to the bottom of the tree.
Bisji followed closely behind, but she was not as unrestrained as Luo jumped. When she jumped, she pressed one hand on the tree trunk to reduce the impact of the fall.
The three of them landed safely. At this time, dragonflies had ravaged the dragon's blood tree beside them. With the rustling sound, a large number of leaves fell from the sky.
The body of the dragonfly flying around, as well as a large number of leaves, formed patches of shadows, covering the faces of the Luoji people.
The silver glow was like frost, and the temperature became lower unconsciously.
Dongba shuddered, looked at the flat bare ground, and said wryly, "Where should we hide?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several dragonflies raised their tails and swooped down towards them from above.
Dragonflies seem to be only interested in resinous fruit,
The reason why they rushed towards Luoji people was because they were stained with the unique smell of resin.
After a few dragonflies moved, more dragonflies joined in. It looked as if dozens of people were robbing a few grains of rice, which was very exaggerated.
Luo's face changed, but he heard Bi Siji calmly say: "We can only hide underground, and go in through the tunnel where the cockroaches crawled out."
It is conceivable that there must be cockroaches underground, but the number of dragonflies in the air is so numerous that it is not an exaggeration to say that there were wolves before and tigers after.
Therefore, if you had to choose, you would naturally choose a wolf, which would be easier to deal with.
"Walk."
Hearing Bisji's words, Luo didn't hesitate, grabbed Dongba with one hand, and rushed towards the nearest cave entrance together with Bisji.
Dongba was being held by Luo. He hated this feeling at first, but being carried by Luo to avoid so many fatal dangers, he instead thought cheaply that Luo would just keep holding him.
In this case, although the experience is poor, the life-saving rate is greatly improved.
The openings where the cockroaches come out can be easily entered by humans, and the number of openings is actually not many, but fortunately they are not far away.
In only five seconds, a group of people rushed into the tunnel, and Luo took advantage of the situation to control the flat rock to cover the entrance of the cave.
Many dragonflies rushed forward, and the mouthparts at the end chichi pierced the rock. Because there were too many dragonflies on the ground, they huddled together, lost control immediately, and fell to the ground one after another.
In the tunnel, when the rocks sealed the hole, the surroundings were plunged into darkness for a moment, but the next moment there was a faint green light from Bruna's body.
Just as Luo was about to take out the flashlight from the black cat's space, he saw that the flat rock that sealed the hole was pierced by several sharp pinholes, and it was a full half a meter longer.
Then, there was a rumbling sound from the ground, and the rocks that sealed the entrance of the cave were suddenly lifted up, and the moonlight barely penetrated into the tunnel. A black shadow pressed on the entrance of the cave, and there was a sound of breaking through the dark space.
It is the sound of the tail needle piercing the air, and very frequently, it is the shaking of the tail of the dragonfly.
Luo frowned, backed away with Bi Siji, and took out the flashlight to take a picture, and saw the dragonfly holding up the tail needle and stabbing down into the tunnel frantically.
After observing for a while and confirming that the dragonfly could not enter the tunnel, Luo was free to check the tunnel.
The cockroaches that were swallowed by the black mud drilled to the ground through this tunnel.
Luo stroked the slightly smooth rock wall, and the jointed limbs of the cockroach appeared in his mind, and he secretly estimated the diameter of the underground tunnel. It didn't feel like it was dug out by a cockroach.
Bisji also has this doubt. This tunnel is round, with neat and smooth edges, as if it was dug out by a large human drilling machine.
"Want to go down and have a look?"
Bisji took a flashlight and shone it towards the tunnel that stretches downwards. The end of the light is the rock wall, because the tunnel is not straight, and it becomes zigzag after tens of meters.
If the cockroaches reached the ground along this tunnel, then the end of the tunnel is very likely to be the old nest of cockroaches.
Whether to wait for the dragonfly to leave after sucking the resinous fruit, or go deep into the tunnel, you may need to think about it.
However, without the slightest hesitation, Luo said, "Go."
What is the end of the tunnel, no one knows before going there, maybe it will be an astonishing number of cockroaches.
However, in the tunnel, if you only need to defend in two directions, Luo and Bi Siji can each defend one side, forming a formation where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.
