The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 126 Crisis
Ma Su looked serious, staring at the place where the little lights appeared, and slowly explained: "The sand wolf worm evolved from the sand worm. The sand worm is a kind of insect that lives in the desert. It is not poisonous, but The evolved sand wolf worm is highly poisonous. And this kind of sand wolf worm usually lives in the Gobi. They are good at attacking prey in groups and are very lethal. Dozens of sand wolf worms got on their bodies, It can instantly turn a full-grown wild horse into bones."

"Gobi? Our place is not Gobi, how could there be sand wolf worms, you can't read it wrong, right?"

Ma Di pointed to the strange grass under the tree and said: "I didn't believe it at first. Until I found this kind of grass. This kind of grass is called camel thorn, and it usually grows in deserts and Gobi areas. Look here, although It is in a valley, but within the scope of Nanliu Village, there is no grass, which is very similar to deserts and Gobi deserts. Since there are camel thorns here, it means that the ecological conditions here are in line with the living environment of sand wolf insects. The appearance of sand wolf Worms are also very possible. And as far as I know, sand wolf worms are very tenacious and can survive many harsh conditions.”

But at this time, there are more and more dots of light in front of us, and they have surrounded us in pieces.

Looking at the will-o'-the-wisp light spot, I felt numb all over, and asked Ma Su, "Are those the eyes of sand wolf worms?"

"Yes. However, due to the strong light in the desert, although the eyes of sand wolf worms are bright, they have degenerated, and their eyesight is very poor. They rely on their sensitive sense of smell, the contact between their bodies and the ground, and some changes in substances in the air. Of this world. They are gathering now and may attack us at any time."

As Ma Di was talking, I noticed that those sparkling spots of light began to move slowly.

Crowds of sand wolf worms surged forward like a tide.

The sand wolf worms walking in front, I can already see their true appearance.Although they are called sand wolf worms, their crawling methods are different from ordinary worms.They don't seem to have obvious thin feet on their bodies, and they act more like snakes. First, they bend themselves three times, and use one or two limbs to "take a step" to the side of the body, and then use the body's Take another "step" at the second bend.They are using this peculiar way of crawling to come to where the three of us are.Although the ground is full of gravel and small stones, they can't stop their advancing trend at all.

Ma Di shouted: "Quick, light the fire."

I was startled by the sound, and then I remembered my mission, and hurriedly lit the lighter in my hand, and lit the branch in the shallow ditch.

The branch was sprinkled with a lot of yellow powder by Ma Su. The powder should be flammable, and it quickly burned in the shallow ditch.At the same time, there was a burst of yellow smoke and a pungent sulfur smell.

In just a short while, the range of our sight was already covered with these sand wolf worms.On the ground in front, there were no gravel or stones to be seen, and they were all covered by this sand wolf worm.

At first, when I heard the rustling sound of the sand wolf crawling, I didn't think it was a big deal.Seeing the scene in front of him now, coupled with the scalp-numbing rustle, seemed even more terrifying.

Fortunately we set fire to the branches in the shallow ditch, and a circle of fire surrounded us.At the same time, yellow smoke spread out, and those sand wolves seemed to be afraid of the yellow smoke. The sand wolves in front temporarily stopped moving forward, but the ones behind were still surging upwards layer by layer.

Seeing that this thing worked, I hurriedly shouted at Ma Di: "Old Ma, this thing is useful for you, and how much is left, take it out quickly."

Ma Di shook his head: "I only brought these two cans of sulfur powder, and I have to keep one as a spare. There are too many bugs, it's just a drop in the bucket, and this is only a temporary solution, not a long-term solution."

As soon as I stamped my feet, I realized that the time when Ma Di asked us to leave here was the best chance to escape.Now we're stuck here, and we can't get out if we want to run.Just like a turtle in a urn.

Liang Yue also said, "Then it's not an option to wait like this."

"No way, now we can only wait... Let's keep one direction each, and when the insect swarm is about to approach, we will sprinkle the remaining stones with sulfur, and roll them out, the stones will pass through the shallow ditch. Burn into a ball of fire. I hope these sand wolves are not coming for us, as long as we persist for a long time, maybe they will give up after listening to it."

The sand wolf worms covering the entire ground are less than ten meters away from us.The scalp-numbing rustling sound became more and more clear.

At this moment, a sound like a wolf howling suddenly came from an unknown direction.

"Woo... ouch..." The howling of the wolf even covered the rustling sound of those sand wolves crawling.

But after the wolf howl, those sand wolves that had retreated rushed up again.

"Sure enough." Ma Di's face became even more ugly.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"I heard that the sand wolf is interdependent with a type of desert wolf. When the weather is cold, the sand wolf will climb to the body of the desert wolf and rely on its fur for warmth. And the skin of the desert wolf will periodically develop a kind of scabies, Sand wolves are needed to eat them. As long as you see sand wolves, there will be desert wolves, so this kind of snake is called sand wolves. Have you heard wolves howling? This means that there are deserts nearby The wolf appears." Ma Di interpreted quickly.

I was dumbfounded when I heard it: "No way, why are there still wolves? I didn't hear the old stall said that there were wolves... This is impossible..."

Ma Di also nodded: "Although this is a mountainous area, this mountain is not a virgin forest after all, and it's not far from human settlements. There shouldn't be a pack of wolves."

I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "That's right. I know that after the cliff burial, the body will be eaten by the mountain dogs when it falls. This is the bottom of the cliff, and the cliff burial happened just now. Could it be that the howling we just heard Barking, is it from the mountain dog?"

Ma Di said: "That's right. This is not a desert either. It is very likely that the mountain dog has taken the place of the desert wolf."

Ma Di and I were discussing, Liang Yue shouted: "Stop researching, sand wolf insects are coming up.

Sure enough, it seemed that encouraged by the howling of the mountain dog, the sand wolf worms began to attack the fire circle in batches.

The sand wolf in front had rushed into the fire circle recklessly, and suddenly green smoke filled the air, and a pungent burnt smell radiated out.

Those sand wolf worms that rushed into the fire circle earlier were already scorched.

This pungent burnt smell gave people a headache.

"No, this burnt insect body seems to be poisonous too. Try to control your breathing." Ma Di shouted.

But at this time, with the burning of the sulfur and the increase in the number of sand wolf worms, the fire gradually weakened.Those sand wolves seemed to see the dawn of victory, and they became more unscrupulous and swept over frantically.
