The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 15 The Sea of ​​Death (1)
But before I ran forward, I saw Professor Chen and the others screaming in shock. Professor Wu has lived for more than 60 years. Where has he not been for archaeology?What haven't you seen?To scare him like this, it is probably not an ordinary thing.

When they were screaming, I suddenly saw many yellow and big guys crawling out of the red willow bushes and grass around them!

It was completely dark, and the fat man and I quickly put on our headlamps and ran towards them.

The sound of prayer behind me suddenly stopped, and I looked back, only to see that Maimaiti left Huo Xiaoning who was standing there in a daze, and ran towards the herd of camels alone.I shouted at Xiang Rugao who was already chasing him: "Catch him, don't let him run away! Wait there for us not to come over!"

Fatty and I rushed to Professor Wu's place, and under the light of the headlights, we saw that those guys were as big as the mouth of a big sea bowl.With tough bristles all over his body, he crawled on the ground with six legs, but raised his two big chelicerae in front, rubbed his pair of fluffy tusks on his head from time to time, and hissed at Professor Chen and the others. .

The most frightening thing is that they have a special pattern on their backs, with noses and eyes on them, and they grin at us like demons as they open their teeth and claws.

"Ghost-faced tarantula"!The name flashed through my mind. Both "Earth Chapter" and "Strange Chapter" in "Ancient Gods and Monsters" have records: "In the east of Kunlun, there is a vast and imaginary sea, where sandbars gather and disperse, and strange insects emerge from the islands. They hide underground, and when they see people and beasts, they run around and attack them. Stab it with venomous fangs... the tattoo was born on the back, hideous like a ghost, so it is called ghost face..."

This kind of tarantula I have never seen crawled out of the grass. It seems to be a kind of burrowing tarantula.This kind of tarantula usually hides in the cave, and only spins a web at the entrance of the cave to sense the prey. Once the prey breaks in, it will be pierced into the body by their sharp mouthparts, and then inject deadly venom to make the prey Convulsion paralyzed and died.

But who has ever seen a tarantula this big?They have far exceeded my imagination, and they are crawling towards Professor Wu in twos and threes.Only then did I know why Maimaiti stopped us from coming, but it was too late to regret it now.

Professor Wu and the others wanted to escape, but there were more and more tarantulas surrounding them, enclosing them in the middle of the oasis. Fortunately, Hao Weiguo and Zhou Dawei took off their clothes and swung desperately, which managed to scare them away.

Fatty and I were one step late, and we couldn't rush in and pull them out.Song Bijun hid behind Hao Weiguo in fright, clutching his clothes tightly, watching the more and more ghost-faced tarantulas around him screaming non-stop, the hissing sounds of countless ghost-faced tarantulas mixed with Song Bijun's scream was particularly ear-piercing in the pitch-black world.

Time was running out, so the fat man and I lit our coats, tied them to Populus euphratica branches, made a temporary torch, and threw them at Professor Chen and the others in the circle surrounded by ghost-faced tarantulas.

"Catch it! Scare 'em with the torches!" I yelled at them, but the swarms of tarantulas, like the tide rushing to the shore, frightened away one side and rushed up there again.

Suddenly, I felt itchy all over my body. The more I scratched, the more itchy, and it was extremely itchy. While scratching, I looked at the fat man and Professor Chen next to me. They were also grabbing something on their bodies.

I paid attention to these tarantulas, and saw that they were all rubbing their legs against the dense and hard bristles on their bodies. Under the light of headlamps and torches, I could clearly see these bristles fluttering in the wind. with.When it sticks on the body, that part becomes red, swollen, itchy, worse than death.

"Be careful!" the fat man yelled at me.

Only then did I realize that a few tarantulas were creeping towards us outside the circle from the side, and they had already crawled to my feet. They were about to bite my ankle with their poisonous fangs, but they were pulled out by the fat man with sharp eyesight and quick hands. The engineer shovel slapped it back and forth a few times, and the eight legs twitched beside the flat body, and the green juice splashed all over the ground.

Suddenly, all the tarantulas stopped attacking, and the fat man and I looked at each other, wondering what tricks they were playing.

Under the dim light, I saw the group of spiders on Professor Wu's side dodge a path, and a big black figure much bigger than other tarantulas was creeping towards this side.

It was a guy the size of a big pot lid and stopped when he walked up to Professor Wu. Under the light of the torch, I realized that it was a dark ghost-faced tarantula with a pale human face on its black back. , the painful and distorted expression on the man's face was as if he had been thrown into eighteen layers of hell, each long furry foot was thicker than my arm, and two fist-sized black eyes stared straight at us.

The surrounding ghost-faced tarantulas stopped hissing immediately, as if they were waiting for this giant ghost-faced tarantula to give orders. It seemed that it was the king of ghost-faced tarantulas.The big black guy circled around the stunned Professor Chen and the others calmly, suddenly raised two big claws, stretched out two poisonous fangs, and let out a hissing scream. The spiders immediately crawled towards them.

They burned the torch again to no avail. The torch burned the front one away, and the one behind it rushed up. These ghost-faced tarantulas were piled one on top of the other, layered on top of each other, and rushed towards them densely from all directions.

Fatty and I suddenly had a quick wit, and took out a few bottles of Kazakh spirits we bought last night from our bag, remembering that Fatty had to drink to his heart's content after eating barbecue last night, but luckily I didn't let him drink it because I had to do business today , which is now useful.

The clothes were burned as torches, so we had to take some straw paper, soak it in the bottle, stick it out, light it with a lighter, and throw it out quickly.

Fatty's bottle of spirits fell into the spider colony not far from Professor Chen and the others, and it exploded all of a sudden.The strong wine burst into flames in the densely packed spider cluster with a bang. Countless tarantulas, big and small, were covered with fire, and were burned into fireballs, screaming and screaming without thinking. The spider group has already split a hole.

"Come out!" I yelled to them who were still there dumbfounded.

They didn't react until I yelled at them. They were probably overly frightened just now, and they rushed out stepping on the flames regardless of whether the fire was on or not.

This boy Hao Weiguo must have been scared out of his wits, seeing that the openings in the spider group were closing up little by little, and Song Bijun was running in front of him, he went up and dragged Song Bijun behind him, and rushed out by himself.

Being dragged by him like this, Song Bijun fell backwards in the circle. Seeing the hole closing, she cried out in despair, "Help me! I don't want to die!" But she didn't pay attention, the wolf behind her The Spider King was rushing towards her himself.

Seeing that the giant tarantula king was about to rush towards her, I suddenly aimed at it and threw the last bottle of spirits over.Originally, I didn't want to throw it, because the spider cluster was in a circle, and if I threw it too close, the effect would not be achieved, and if I threw it far away, I was afraid that Professor Wu and the others would be burned.And the bottle thrown by the fat man has already caused many tarantulas to rush to Professor Wu's feet crazily. Fortunately, they escaped fast enough, so I didn't dare to throw it away because I was afraid that it might backfire.

But now I have no choice but to see the bottle of spirits fly out of my hand, draw a red arc in the air, and hit the tarantula king impartially, the bottle is as hard as a stone on its body. Its back was shattered, and the flaming spirits immediately began to burn all over its body.

In an instant, it turned into a big fireball, screaming in pain, and spinning around frantically.Seeing that it was starting to go crazy, I seized this last chance, picked up the engineering shovel and swung it all the way through the spider group that was about to close together, rushed to the desperate Song Bijun, grabbed her arm and swung it. The engineer shoveled and jumped out after a few strides.

Suddenly there was a pig-killing scream, and when I looked back, I realized that Hao Weiguo had been thrown to the ground like crazy by the tarantula king who had burned into a big fireball.

I handed Song Bijun, who had lost his mind, to a fat man, and asked him to take them away quickly and wait for me on the sand dunes ahead.Fatty and Xiangru refused to leave, so I said angrily, "Are we going to die here together?!" They hurriedly dragged everyone onto the camel.

I just wanted to rush forward to pull Hao Weiguo out, but it was already too late, the two poisonous hook-like teeth of the Tarantula King pierced deeply into his chest cavity.In an instant, he was covered by dense ghost-faced tarantulas, and after twitching and letting out a few heart-piercing howls, he remained motionless.

Seeing that he was sucked by these ferocious demons in a few tens of seconds, his eye sockets were sunken, his eyeballs burst out, his skin was like dry wood, all the blood in his body was sucked out in an instant, and he became a complete body like this. Mummy.

My scalp felt numb, and a chill crawled through every blood vessel in my body like ants.It was only then that I remembered the meaning of those incoherent words that the old lady in Huo Xiaoning's village said in the morning: "Hey! They have been hungry for a long time! They are biting the sun and waiting for you! You must eat tonight! Hey... "

These ghost-faced tarantulas suddenly attacked me, who was stunned by the side, so fast that I had no room to react. When several tarantulas jumped into the air and rushed towards me, one hand grabbed my collar , I was pulled onto the galloping camel, and those tarantulas rushed to nothing, still chasing us relentlessly.

I looked back, and the fat man was smiling at me behind his back. Also, who else has such energy and courage besides him?
The moon slowly slipped away from the sun, and the light was restored between the sky and the earth. We ran up the sand dunes, Xiangru looked at me with concern, and I smiled at her, only to see that her face was better.Song Bijun and Zhou Dawei were still in shock, but looked at me gratefully.Professor Wu lost his best student and couldn't help squatting on the ground crying. Fortunately, Xiang Ru handed him a handkerchief to wipe his face. He rested for a while before standing up and patting me on the shoulder. Fatty and I thanked each other, but we didn't know what to say.

Standing on the sand dune, looking at the agate beach from a distance, I saw those ghost-faced tarantulas stayed around for a while and then gradually dispersed, leaving only the ghost-faced tarantula king lying on the ground burning with his legs upturned and beside him. Hao Weiguo, who had been sucked into a mummified corpse, a burst of yellow sand flew past, blurring our vision.

"Hey Jiang! (meaning "God" in Uighur language) the wind is coming! Go!" Maimaiti, who had looked guilty since he was caught by Xiangru, suddenly shouted.
