Chapter 71: Batcave
When my cousin and I entered the second round, it was dark ahead.
We knew that the second game would not be as simple as the first one, but we didn't expect that there would be life-threatening consequences.
We had just taken a few steps forward when suddenly, countless dark shadows rushed over our heads.
When I saw clearly what it was, I was so scared that cold sweat broke out on my back.
It's a bat!
It was then that I followed the light of the flashlight and saw that this was actually a cave.
The ceiling of the cave is covered with bats.
Their eyes are sparkling. Whenever the light shines across their faces, you can see that their eyes are red and their teeth are bared. They don't look good.
"Be careful, these bats are vampire bats, not ordinary fruit bats. They carry viruses, and if you are bitten, you are likely to get an infectious disease."
My cousin reminded me and seemed to care about me a lot, but at this time, he was actually pushing me forward with his hand on my back.
I feel that he is my elder after all and not young anymore, so I have no reason to let him walk in front.
So I ignored him and kept walking forward.
The bats' eyes were all fixed on us. I didn't know if I had made a wrong move and triggered the mechanism that would cause them to attack us.
"You just keep moving forward. You look at the road ahead, and I look at the top. It will be better for us to work together separately this way."
I accepted my cousin's suggestion and just kept my eyes on the front.
I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly the footsteps behind me stopped.
My heart skipped a beat. What on earth was going on?
When I turned around, he found that he was standing a few meters behind me, staring at me motionlessly.
"What's wrong with you?" I was a little surprised. Why did he suddenly stop walking?
He pointed above his head and I looked up.
At this time, there were more than just bats on the top of the cave.
I also saw many worms hanging upside down, some of them were at least one meter long.
This cave is relatively high, at least three meters.
If I don't look up, I can't actually see it.
But my cousin and I divided the work, and I was responsible for watching the road ahead, so it was not surprising that my cousin looked up and saw those bugs.
"Come over here quickly. I was fine when I came over just now. Hurry up. Otherwise, those bats will suddenly go crazy and attack us, which will be troublesome!"
I just looked at the watch and stood there motionless.
But behind me is the door to the third bureau.
If we give up halfway at this point, we will be trapped here and will never be able to get out.
At this time, I raised my hand and looked at the time on my watch. Time had stopped, which proved that we were in this place and the time here could not be calculated using the time in the outside world.
But according to calculations, we have been here for almost two hours.
It will be dawn soon, and as soon as it gets light, the door leading to the outside world of this formation will be closed.
By then we really wouldn’t know what to do.
"These bugs have a reputation. Once they fall, they will corrode the human body like strong acid."
When my cousin said this, his eyes never left the bugs on the cave, and his voice was a little trembling, so I knew he was afraid.
"Then wasn't everything fine when I came here just now? Come over here quickly!"
I didn’t really want to think about whether the bugs would fall off, after all, I had already made it through safely.
In my opinion, what my cousin is doing is a waste of time.
But seeing him trembling, I couldn't bear it.
"come here quickly!"
I extended my hand to him, but he reached into his treasure bag and took out a few Taoist talismans.
He took a few steps back, took a sprint, and ran towards me.
I don’t know if it was due to his physical condition, but as soon as he moved, the little bugs on the top of the cave fell down like rain.
At this time, my cousin made a sound of pain and stretched out his hand to throw the talisman into the sky.
When he successfully ran to my side, I found that several bugs were attached to his back.
His face was livid at this time, and there was sweat on his forehead, probably because of the pain.
"Hurry, help me pull them all out." My cousin said through gritted teeth, enduring the pain.
I swallowed my saliva and then reached out to grab the insect's head.
It was only then that I realized that the insect's head was completely stuck in my cousin's back.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pull him out .
At this time, my cousin handed me a Wanyongjun rifle. Although he didn't say anything, I already knew what he was thinking.
After taking the saber, I gently cut a cut on my cousin's skin.
He groaned, but his back remained straight and motionless.
I pulled the worm out of his flesh, and then I saw that the worm had a barbed mouth.
When I saw this scene, I gasped instantly.
My cousin must be feeling very uncomfortable with these five or six worms.
"Is this thing non-toxic?" I looked at my cousin a little worriedly.
His back was full of holes and pits dug by me with the all-purpose military knife, but he never cried out in pain from beginning to end.
After all the bugs were taken out, my cousin said to me, "They are not poisonous, but the barbs in their mouths are really annoying."
Before he could finish his words, all the bats on the cave ceiling suddenly flew towards us.
I stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.
That insect is not poisonous, but the bat is poisonous!
what to do!
My cousin is now in very weak health, with wounds all over his back. He probably has difficulty even walking.
In a hurry, I took out a handful of black glutinous rice from my pocket and threw it at them.
Bats are also considered evil creatures. They live in darkness for a long time and are not exposed to sunlight. Naturally, they are more evil. This is understandable.
Sure enough, when they saw the black glutinous rice, they quickly turned a corner and flew back.
But they know very well that as long as the black glutinous rice falls on the ground, we will not bend down to pick it up.
At this time, we really didn't have anything useful in our pockets.
I also cannot bleed myself excessively just because I think my blood can drive away evil spirits.
There are so many bats here, how much blood can I have?
"Can you open the barrier?" My cousin was behind me, his voice a little weak.
I looked back and saw several bats lying on his back.
They are licking my cousin's wounds.
I understand now, those bats were attracted by my cousin's blood.
My cousin just mentioned that they are vampire bats.
Oh no, we are going to die here.
