The sound coming from under the sand hadn't disappeared yet. I suddenly heard countless muffled sounds coming from the darkness in the distance, as if something fell from the top of the cave and fell into the quicksand.

The sound is very dense and it almost sounds like rain at the end, and the number of things falling should be quite large.

The fat man was rolling vigorously when he heard the sound and immediately stopped and said to himself: "I seem to hear the sound of bad luck."

After saying that, he immediately sat up. We didn't have anything to defend ourselves, so the fat man took out those iron thorns.

I also knew something must have happened, but I looked around and saw it. All you can see is quicksand.

The place where the sound came from is still a certain distance away from here. Although the "wolf eye" can shine very far, it is difficult to see the details clearly in the yellow sand. Looking at it, it is impossible to see what is falling down. .

I feel uneasy. Now we have no defense at all. Once the site where we are lying is damaged, we will sink into the quicksand.

Although the quicksand is not deep, it will not trap us to death. But we have also become turtles in a urn. To put it bluntly, let’s say we are trapped in quicksand.

Even a few mosquitoes with the advantage of being patient can bite us to death here. I said to the fat man: "Your toothpick is of no use. Keep climbing. Climb as far as you can, maybe." Allows us to hold on until we pull over."

The fat man looked at the iron thorn in his hand and nodded immediately: "Okay, let's go." We lay down again and immediately started rolling and crawling. The fat man obviously sped up. Obviously, fear is the primary productive force of human beings.

Unexpectedly, we only walked a while. Suddenly something fell next to us. The fat man looked at it with a flashlight and saw that it was a bone.

The fat man shined his flashlight on the roof of the cave again and saw it immediately. There were many corpses stuck to the top of the entire cave. These corpses looked like they had been flattened and then stuck to the ceiling.

At the same time, we noticed that the roof of the cave was shaking. The corpse stuck to it was crumbling, and debris fell from time to time.

The sound of objects falling to the ground continued to sound like rain. And this time I heard it very clearly. The sound seemed to be moving and approaching us quickly.

The fat man shined his flashlight in that direction, and could already vaguely see that the corpses were being shaken by something and falling down one after another. A huge shadow hung upside down on the cave ceiling, looming under the flashlight.

This time, it is certain that this seems to be a feeding ground, and all animals that enter the ventilation and lighting stone passages will eventually be gathered here. I was dealt with by something here, but I just don’t know what this thing is.

***Unlucky,

Why didn't this ghost talk to us more? You know that there is such a design here. At least I won't run so damn fast and fall into such a simple trap. If we are careful, maybe we have entered the ancient times now. Floor.

I just cursed in my heart and felt desperate for a moment, looking at the situation around me and the size of this thing. It was impossible to run.

We can't run away from it even on a flat road. Are we going to be flattened by this thing on the roof of the cave this time? In this state, it seems that a more dignified way to die is impossible.

Thousands of experiences tell us. No matter what, I have to persist until the last moment. The fat man handed me the iron spike, which was usually used by Buddha in the past.

At most, it would kill a widow or an old rich man who was unlucky enough to be woken up in the middle of the night. Although this thing is not easy to sell, it is still an antique. I originally wanted to take it back as a souvenir.

I didn't expect that what I was going to fight against now would be such a thing, but unfortunately it was very sharp. If you say hello to anything, the other party will definitely not be happy.

The fat man was a lot scared without a gun. We stepped on the frame of the chassis, half bent over. Just wait for that thing to get close. This way we can at least choose whether to jump over and dodge when it attacks for the first time, or take the opportunity to counterattack.

However, after we put on airs for a long time, the thing actually stopped when it reached around us.

I thought to myself, damn, this thing is so big and cautious, what on earth is it? Is it a living thing or a dead body?

Looking at the huge shadow on the roof of the cave in the distance, the sweat in my hands squeezed out from the fingers. How could a living creature appear in such a place? I have never seen such a beast, and if it were dead, it should not There is such cautious behavior once.

At this time, the sand in front of us suddenly rippled, and a wave of sand rolled in front of us. I shined my flashlight on the surface of the quicksand, and just saw a sudden change in the bone that just fell in the quicksand. The bone seemed to be It seemed like it was alive, and it was actually crawling on the sand.

The bones were twisted in the sand, and the cotton-like stuff on them was shrinking and expanding, and several black tentacles could be seen protruding from under the bones.

When we turned our attention to the top of the cave, we were even more stunned. All the bones stuck to the top of the cave started to move, and a large number of black tentacles as thick as toothpicks stretched out.

These tentacles trembled, as if the entire cave roof suddenly had thorns. Soon, many insects fell from the cave roof.

They were all black and about the size of a fingernail; after falling, they crawled directly into the quicksand and disappeared. The fat man reacted quickly and immediately picked up another pair of turf plates to use as an umbrella to block our heads, so that we were not covered with insects. head.

I knew immediately what it was. It was a caddis fly, a very common aquatic pest.

I don’t know why it can survive on land here. This kind of insect will use the liquid it secretes to stick many stones and bones into a cocoon and hide itself in it.

The bite of this thing is very painful, but its mobility is not strong. It usually only escapes from its cocoon when it is violated.

The fat man's hand was bitten several times because he grabbed the "umbrella", and it soon became swollen.

I asked him to use an iron thorn instead of holding the umbrella in his hand, while calming him down: "This bug is not an aggressive bug."

The fat man said: "I don't think so. If we roll into the quicksand, we will become the best food for these insects, and they will definitely eat us clean."

Soon most of the caddis flies on the roof of the cave fell into the quicksand. The fat man quickly put down the "umbrella" and I suddenly understood that the bones on it were probably not flattened as we thought, but the insects were transported up piece by piece and glued together. The fat man used the "umbrella" as a shovel to shovel When I looked at the sand, I found that almost all of it was caddisflies under the surface of the sand.

The fat man cursed: "**, I am no longer afraid that we will starve to death. The protein content of these things must be super high. What we eat is cleaner and more nutritious than what we eat in the city.

I looked at the black figure squatting in the distance, and thought to myself that this thing must have the same idea as us: I no longer have to worry about starving to death, these two things look very nutritious.

I said to the fat man: "If you want to eat, you can eat. The more nutritious your food is, the more delicious it will be when others eat it. While that big guy is still pretending to be artistic, let's continue to withdraw. It didn't even respond to such a big movement." Maybe it didn't pay attention to us at all.

The fat man said: "It's impossible, it's blocking the direction we want to go, we have to pass under it. Damn it. I really don't have this kind of fun."

I said, "Then what do you think we should do? Wait for it to suddenly change its attention and kill us all. Or wait for it to die of boredom?"

"It's going to attack us, and there's nothing we can do about it. It's useless to think about it." The fat man had to change the chassis with the patch in his hand and continue to move forward. A lot of it all around. "The best way is to find a place to hide. This place is too big. Let's use flashlights as bait."

"Was it attracted by the light?" I wondered. "The sika deer that fell here didn't bring a flashlight. What I felt was probably the smell and the sound."

"Which one is it?"

"The smell could be bigger," I said. The fat man immediately took out a bottle of something from his arms.

"What the hell is this?"

"Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, help. Quick." The fat man took off his socks, put the bottle inside, and then swung it like a meteor hammer. When he swung it as fast as he could, the bar bottle flew out, and the bottle flew in an arc, hitting On the pillar on the side, the sound of bottles breaking could be heard.

"This one has a very strong smell. If it is attracted by the smell, maybe we can lure it there."

The black figure showed no reaction.

"Maybe your socks are too smelly, covering up the smell of Huoxiang Zhengqi water." I said.

Could it be a voice? I thought to myself, too many things fell from above just now, so the black shadow stopped. Is it to wait for the sound to subside?

There was still the sound of insects falling around, but the sound was getting softer. I became uneasy, looked at the black shadow, and suddenly yelled.

Sure enough, the black shadow moved. The fat man immediately covered my mouth and asked me softly what I was doing.

I said: "This thing seems to rely on sound to determine our location.

And its ability to distinguish sounds is not particularly good. With a little interference, it cannot determine our location.

Let's be prepared. After all the sounds quiet down, we must not make any sound. "

After hearing this, the fat man became excited: "This is too passive. If that's the case, we should take this opportunity to kill it."

I thought to myself that even if you could touch it, given our current situation, it would be too difficult to touch the top of the cave. As I spoke, the black shadow suddenly shrank back.

We were startled and saw the black shadow slowly retreating into the darkness. To be continued
