【Tuyan】Sword goes slant

The sky is already bright, and the faint morning light is scattered sparsely, and the air is full of fine dust, all over the mountains and fields, covering most of the sight.

It doesn't look like good weather.

An Yan stepped on the fire, put on his backpack, and turned to Shen Tu, "Shall we go now?"

Shen Tu nodded, and left a mark on the spot before leaving.

The two entered the deep forest again one after the other.

Yesterday, the process was interrupted by a surprise attack. Now that he was finding his way again, An Yan was very handy. He closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then he walked in a certain direction.Shen Tu was one step away from him, and followed step by step, with a dignified expression on his face, without any slack.

An Yan felt strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Tu shook his head and said nothing, An Yan wondered if he was afraid that that guy would sneak up again?I blurted out when I thought about it.

But Shen Tu shook his head again, leaned close to him and said, "He can't come out now."

"Can't come out? Why?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because of this."

An Yan listened with a confused face, staring at Shen Tu and waiting for the follow-up, but the other party didn't speak, and looked intently at the darker and darker tree trunks on both sides.

An Yan didn't know, so he glanced at it, and saw that the black trunk looked much more withered than the tree he encountered just now. The whole thing seemed to be eaten away by termites, and it was shaken by the wind from time to time. .

I didn't see any problem, but I also noticed the weirdness.The ease on An Yan's face was put away.

Ten minutes later, they were surrounded by black dead wood like this, with sporadic white spots interspersed in the middle, densely embedded in the trunk, like sesame seeds sprinkled on the ground.

Sesame seeds... Wait, sesame seeds?

An Yan suddenly remembered something, walked quickly to the tree, and was about to touch it, but with a click, he accidentally stepped on a dead branch.

Sumeru, all the trees around trembled with the sound, like a rhythmic heartbeat, trembling, especially terrifying.

"Don't move!" Shen Tu scolded, quickly grabbed An Yan's raised hand and dragged him back.

An Yan didn't dare to move, and asked stiffly, "This, this, these are insect eggs..."

Shen Tu nodded solemnly.

An Yan covered his mouth with a disgusted expression of wanting to vomit.

This scene is really disgusting. The dense white insect eggs are buried in the tree trunks, shining faintly. If you look around, almost all the trees are crowded with these eggs. If you walk forward for a while, the eggs will become more and more It gradually changed from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a fist, and even giant eggs the size of a human head appeared.

On each egg, the white skin covered with texture beats rhythmically, proving how vigorously the embryos conceived inside are developing.

Even though An Yan didn't have trypophobia, seeing these large and small eggs spread almost all over the space, he felt dizzy and nauseous, and almost vomited out.

Although Shen Tu was not as exaggerated as An Yan, she obviously couldn't stand the situation and frowned.

"Be careful." Shen Tu frowned, the corners of his mouth curled down, and he called out Jingzhe coldly, took a step past An Yan, and protected him behind him.

"Why are there so many bugs here?" An Yan took out his gun and asked while guarding his surroundings.

Shen Tu cut off a branch blocking the way, and walked towards the largest piece of insect eggs at the end of his field of vision, without answering An Yan's question.

An Yan could only suppress his curiosity, and stared at Shen Tu's movements.

Shen Tu stopped in front of the eggs, squinted his eyes for a while, then suddenly raised Jing Zhe, pierced into the jumping eggs without hesitation, and split a long hole more than 30 centimeters in length with a hiss.

Instantly, the pungent stench hit his face, An Yan was dumbfounded, he took a step back covering his mouth and nose, raised his gun and said, "I'll go, you are too violent!"

Shen Tu glanced at him coldly, Jing Zhe picked up the half-dead worm, and snorted, "It's not a broken cocoon, it's just a pile of rotten meat."

An Yan was speechless, and took a closer look at the squirming flesh worms.

The worm looks ugly, similar to the larva of the queen bee, but its size is more than ten times larger, and the visual effect is very amazing.

The worm struggled to death on the sting, and soon lost its breath, and its white body quickly withered and dimmed, dissipating into a pile of gray dust in the blink of an eye.

An Yan knelt down and flicked the pair of dust, with a shocked expression on his face.

"Shen Tu..."

Shen Tu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know where this bug came from, and just looked around and said, "It's the same as the one you met in the water. It's an adult bug after breaking out of its cocoon."

An Yan swallowed, suppressed the upturned stomach acid, frowned and analyzed: "This bug seems to have a symbiotic relationship with the forest. It is not only the first defense of the forest, but also their biggest enemy. What we are staying at now This place is probably the old nest of bugs..."

Shen Tu was noncommittal, but his expression was a little scarier than before.

An Yan's heart skipped a beat. Something was wrong with Shen Tu from just now. He thought it was because of these insect eggs, but now it seems that it should be something else.

"What do you feel?" An Yan asked nervously, sweat dripping from the hand holding the gun.

Shen Tu remained silent and closed his eyes for a moment.

An Yan waited for a while, and before he could do much work, Shen Tu suddenly changed his face, opened his eyes and patted An Yan and shouted: "Run!"

An Yan reflexively ran out following Shen Tu, and only after running more than 100 meters did he regain his senses and look back, his feet almost went limp and rolled to the ground.

"My mother, why are there so many?!! When did it appear!!" An Yan's screams almost overturned the forest, Shen Tu took the time to turn around and throw a few sword qi, urging: "Run, don't nonsense."

There is no need for Shen Tu to say this time, An Yan is also full of energy, and has used up all the strength of breastfeeding, so he is afraid that he will be eaten alive by the black buttocks of bees behind him.

It is said to be a swarm, but it is not really a swarm, it just looks like it.They should be the appearance of those insect eggs after breaking out of their cocoons. They have the appearance of hummingbirds, each of them is half the size of a human, with green light shining in their eyes, transparent and long wings, and there is no sound at all when they flap. No wonder they just now Nothing was heard.

If there are one or two, it must be feeding food for people, but these groups rushed over, at least a few thousand. With Shen Tu and An Yan alone, if they were surrounded by these guys, they would die. Have to shed half a layer of skin.

An Yan was terrified and didn't dare to slack off, and ran all the way with his head buried in his head, panting so hard that he almost lost his breath.

Physical fitness has always been his weakness, but in the face of such a critical situation, human beings can often unleash their astonishing potential. At the end of the run, An Yan was completely following inertia, and only Shentu's black body was left in his blurred vision. Agile back.

What the hell is this guy doing?won't you be tired?

An Yan thought aggrievedly, his hands and feet were weak, sweat was like water, he dragged his feet bravely, and he didn't even dare to turn his head back, for fear that he would face hundreds of thousands of horrible insect faces when he turned his head.

I don't know how long I have been running, maybe only a few minutes, maybe a few hours, An Yan's mind is in chaos, the speed can no longer be maintained, it is because of the despair in his heart, thinking that he should go back and do a big job, the worst is to fade Pi, it's better than when running endlessly like this, suddenly the feet are empty, the whole person loses balance instantly, and falls to the ground.

An Yan was terrified, trying desperately to regain control of his body, but he was too exhausted and couldn't exert any strength. Seeing that he was about to roll down the slope, a hand immediately stretched out from the side to grab An Yan's body. waist.

Then An Yan felt that he was being picked up like a chicken, and his eyes were full of rapidly receding trees. He took the opportunity to glance behind him, and the mouth of a bee bug almost pierced his head recently.

"Damn it, Shen Tu! Hurry up!!" An Yan yelled, ignoring other things, burst out with the last strength and jumped over with a shot.

Green blood spattered An Yan's face, and before An Yan felt sick, Shen Tu who was holding him jumped into the air, feeling overwhelmingly weightless.

An Yan's face turned pale, and he hugged Shen Tu's neck reflexively. He opened his mouth and wanted to scream, but the cold river water poured into his mouth instantly.

Damn, if you say diving, you can dive, brother, at least give me some notice!An Yan choked on a sip of water, and almost died again, his face was flushed from suffocation, his hands and feet were weak, and Shen Tu could only let Shen Tu hug him and go down the river.

Shen Tu's violence was violent, but he managed to get rid of the frighteningly persistent bee swarm.

Halfway through the swim, An Yan was dragged out of the water by Shen Tu, and the moment his head floated up, An Yan took several deep breaths before he recovered.

"Damn it...this is too scary..." An Yan hung on Shen Tu's body weakly and lamented, he was so tired that he couldn't feel his limbs now, if it wasn't for Shen Tu who kept pulling him, he would have turned into nothingness Leaf Duckweed was washed away by the turbulent river.

Shen Tu looked a little better, but it obviously took a lot of physical strength. Without answering An Yan's words, she wiped her wet face and looked at the shore for a while, then swam to the side.

An Yan regained some strength, let go of Shen Tu and barely followed him to swim ashore.

The clothes on his body were soaked again, An Yan took off his denim jacket and twisted it, and the water dripped onto the floor.

He sighed, put back his wet clothes, stomped his feet, and jumped on the spot a few more times, but still couldn't dispel the lingering cold.

"Shen Tu...do you think it's getting colder here?"

Shen Tu brushed away her wet hair, exposing her forehead, her face was a little ugly, "We've reached the end of the formation."

"The eye of the formation?" An Yan was shivering with cold, and he stumbled when he spoke.

Shen Tu looked back at him, frowned, and waved: "Come here."

An Yan walked up to him without knowing why, and saw Shen Tu's two fingers conjure up a golden needle, and pierced it without saying hello to An Yan.

An Yan let out a "wow", only to find that there was no pain at all, not only was there no pain, even the biting cold feeling just now was gone, he scratched his hair embarrassingly, and looked at Shen Tu, "You did it what?"

Shen Tu rolled his eyes at him, didn't bother to explain, and said directly: "Feel it, which is the right way."

An Yan didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly followed Shen Tu's words. A few minutes later, he led Shen Tu to the north.

The trees here have returned to their original color. Because it is winter, only the pines and cypresses are still in green leaves. There are many pines and cypresses in the Qinling Mountains. The two of them walked among them, but they couldn't feel the depression of winter.

The more we went in, the weeds on the ground became less and less, and even the shade of the trees covering the sky and the sun was loosened, bringing in some of the not-so-bright sunlight.

An Yan walked halfway, couldn't help touching his buttocks, always felt that it was burning, and wondered if he had just been accidentally injured by a bug?But he twisted his body awkwardly and took a look, only to find that it was not a wound, but something wrong with the mark of Yu Lei on his left buttock.

Shen Tu obviously felt it too. He stopped, looked at An Yan, and then took off the bandage on his left hand, revealing the mark of Shen Tu on the back of his hand.

"Why do I feel that this mark is guiding us...?"

What An Yan said was very uncertain, Shen Tu pursed his lips and pondered, clenched his left hand, and after a while, wrapped the bandage back and said, "Let's go."

An Yan quickly followed.

All the way in silence, guided by the imprint of Shentu Yulei, they quickly arrived at the eye of this huge formation.

The moment he stepped out of the forest, An Yan felt his eyes suddenly open up, as if he had seen the sun through the clouds, and the heart that the whole forest tried so hard to hide was exposed in front of their eyes.

It was a dilapidated Taoist temple that looked like it was a few years old.

Shen Tu's face was cold, his eyes thoughtful, he stayed for a while, and then took the lead in walking towards the Taoist temple.
