Chapter 148 [Toad Cave] (1)
The shot hit the target, and the giant crocodile let out a thunderous roar in pain. It closed its mouth, probably because it was scared by the blind man's shot, and shrank his mouth that stretched out the hole.
The blind man aimed at the hole and fired two more shots. He predicted that the giant crocodile could not come out because it was too big. The blind man said happily: "Fight with me, you can bite me..." Before he finished speaking, he heard a low roar from the cave. Then the giant crocodile hit the entrance of the cave with his head. For a moment, sand and stones flew around, and the entrance of the cave was knocked open by the giant crocodile's head that was more than gold and iron. Its head and two forelimbs had already rushed out of the entrance of the cave.
The blind man screamed in fear, turned around and ran away.
Luo Lie reminded everyone: "Go to the ice!" He could conclude that this was a crocodile. This giant crocodile has lived underground for many years. The life of the crocodile itself is longer than that of ordinary creatures, and it is everywhere for more than a hundred years. It is the first time that Luo Lie has seen such a large crocodile. According to the size of the crocodile, it may have a lifespan of more than two hundred years. He has some understanding of the habits and characteristics of the crocodile and knows that this seemingly stupid and lazy animal can move at an extremely amazing speed once it enters the hunting state.
Luo Lie suggested that everyone walk onto the frozen river because he knew that they could not escape the hunting of giant crocodiles on land, but it was different on the smooth ice surface. The crocodile's huge body movement on the ice surface would be more affected than they did.
Several people quickly fled to the frozen river surface, and the long bridge was still burning. It was precisely because of the fire belt formed by the long bridge that could block the corpse insects from the other side of the bridge.
The giant crocodile rushed out of the cave and still did not give up the pursuit of Luo Li and the others. Although the blind man's shot shot in its mouth, it did not cause fatal injuries to it. The angry giant crocodile rushed to the frozen river surface. The ice layer on the river surface was frozen, and although the giant crocodile was heavy, it was impossible to collapse the ice layer.
It was eager to catch the prey in front of it, and its limbs naturally increased the frequency, but it did not consider that the ice surface was so smooth, and the four short legs slipped one after another.
Luo Lie and his men ran downstream along the ice. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the giant crocodile slipping on the ice.
Seeing the prey running farther and farther away, the giant crocodile kicked its hind legs in a hurry, and it jumped up, its body landed on the ice, and it slipped due to its limbs. However, its body actually slid at high speed on the ice due to inertia, which became an unexpected gain for the giant crocodile.
Luo Lie and his men finally opened the distance from the giant crocodile, but they didn't expect that the giant crocodile would glide towards them at high speed in this way, and they were about to slide to their side. The people quickly fled to the right according to the direction of the giant crocodile's sliding.
Although the giant crocodile approached his prey, he still could not control his body freely. Seeing that the prey was approaching, he hurriedly opened his mouth wide and tried to bite Arnold, who was closest to him. His mouth was less than one foot away from Arnold.
Arnold ran wildly in fear. In panic, he slipped his feet and fell on the ice. The crocodile's big mouth closed above his head, making a muffled sound. The crocodile's body even hit Arnold's feet, but it continued to slide forward due to inertia, which instead widened the distance between it and its prey.
The blind man reached out and pulled Arnold from the ice surface. A ball fell from Arnold's raised arms, and he bounced on the ice surface and rolled into the distance. The blind man saw it clearly. The golden ball was the golden head of the corpse in the crystal coffin. Arnold took the gold head as himself when he was running away. Arnold was always behind just now. The real reason was not that he wanted to break the back on his own initiative, but that the golden head was too heavy, which slowed down his escape.
Arnold saw that the golden head was rolling further and further away, and he was anxious and desperate to chase after him. The blind man grabbed his collar and said angrily: "You are desperate?"
The golden head had already rolled to the giant crocodile.
At this time, some of the long bridge had been burned out, and a large gap appeared in the fire belt across the river. The corpse insects that were originally blocked on the other side of the bridge rushed over like a tide. These corpse insects were even more terrifying than giant crocodiles. If they were asked to choose, they would rather be bitten to death by crocodiles than to be eaten by those corpse insects.
Luo Lie looked around, and he quickly made a decisive decision and shouted: "Go back to that hole!"
The blind man thought he had heard it wrong, so he looked up and saw Luo Lie and the sparrow running towards the river bank. The two of them ran towards the entrance of the cave that the giant crocodile had just rushed out. The blind man murmured, "Are you wrong? You finally escaped and you have to go back again." However, no matter how he complained, the blind man followed Luo Lie's advice and dragged Arnold, who was unwilling to accept it, to the shore.
As soon as the two of them got ashore, the giant crocodile raised its tail and thrust it hard on the golden head. The golden head flew towards the two like a cannonball. The blind man and Arnold hurriedly separated. As soon as they separated, the golden head shot through the gap between them and hit the rock wall in front. The originally round golden head was knocked down. Arnold's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward and picked up the golden head.
The blind man secretly scolded this guy for being more greedy than himself, and he wanted money but not life.
There was a reason why Luo Lie chose to return to the place just now. The giant crocodile collapsed half of the hole when it rushed out of the hole. Now the hole is smaller than before. In other words, although the giant crocodile successfully rushed out, it was difficult to go back to the cave.
The giant crocodile obviously realized their intentions and tried hard to climb to the shore. As soon as the giant crocodile climbed onto the shore, the corpse insects had already used its tail like a tide. The tough outer skin of the giant crocodile could not play any defensive role in front of the corpse insects. In a blink of an eye, half of the tail had been gnawed by the corpse insects and only a piece of white bones were left. The giant crocodile fled toward the entrance of the cave that had just come out.
At this time, Luo Lie and his men had already escaped from the collapsed hole one after another. The blind man ran away while panting and reminded Luo Lie: "There may be one more thing inside."
Luo Lie said: "Even if there is, it's better than letting those corpse insects bite to death."
There was a violent vibration behind him, but the giant crocodile escaped to the entrance of the cave, as strong and fierce as it had no choice but to be able to get rid of it. If it could not get rid of it, it could only be slaughtered. The giant crocodile returned to the front of the cave and realized that the entrance of the cave had collapsed halfway. Although it could come out from inside, it was no longer possible to go in. Now the entrance of the cave is much smaller than when it forced out.
The giant crocodile was eager to drill into the cave to escape the corpse insects, but the more anxious the more it was, the more it could not get in. Countless corpse insects had crawled on its body, swallowing its flesh and blood. The giant crocodile was in pain and could only use its hard head to constantly hit the hole. In this way, the originally loose stones at the entrance of the cave fell down one after another, completely blocking the hole that had collapsed half. The giant crocodile had no other choice and used all its strength to hit the front.
The powerful impact caused the earth to shake. Luo Li and his men had just escaped back into the cave, and sand and stones fell above their heads. Arnold fell again when he ran away in a hurry. The golden head that he had finally picked up was blown away and he flew to somewhere. It turned out that it was so easy to get it back and lose it back.
Several people fled to a safe place. Looking back, the hole where they went out had completely collapsed and blocked. The giant crocodile was obviously still struggling to death, hitting outside one after another, trying to escape back to its hiding place, but the impact power was weaker and more. The giant crocodile was already covered with corpse insects. The super ferocious beast that originally wanted to hunt Luo Lie and others has now become a delicious meal for corpse insects.
The cave was covered with dust, and several people were choked and coughed constantly. Although they temporarily avoided the danger, they did not dare to take it lightly. Although the giant crocodile could not rush in, the omnipresent corpse insects might soon enter here.
They stumbled and fled inside, and soon arrived at the water cave where the giant crocodile had just crawled out. The edge of the water cave was flashing, but many small fish with blue phosphorescence were scattered on the shore. Luo Lie had seen such small fish before.
The blind man looked back and saw that there was indeed a corpse worm coming in through the crack of the collapsed hole. The blind man shouted, "I've been in, I've been in..." Because of fear, even his voice changed.
Although Luo Lie could not see the scene behind him, he could guess the urgency of the situation from the blind man's screams. He quickly made up his mind and said, "Jump down!"
Arnold exclaimed: "Are you wrong? It might be a crocodile nest below?"
The sparrow bit her cherry lips in the dark and said, "I would rather let the crocodile bite to death!" After that, she was the first to jump into the water cave.
Luo Lie was worried that she would make mistakes, so he jumped down immediately after the sparrow. Arnold was still hesitant, after all, he couldn't see the situation behind him.
The blind man saw that the front end of the corpse insect group was only five meters away from them. He knew that he had no choice, so he raised his foot and kicked Arnold on the butt. Arnold screamed and fell down without any precaution. The blind man closed his eyes, roared, and the last one jumped into the water hole. As soon as he jumped down, the group of corpse insects covered the place where they were standing just like mercury.
After Arnold was kicked down, he found that the water hole was not deep, about three meters above. There was a strange blue light radiant in the water hole, but because there was a kind of luminous algae living in the water. With the blue reflection, they found each other's companions' location. Convinced that everyone was fine, Luo Lie breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they were worried that the corpse worms above would pour into the water, they swam forward as soon as possible. Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen. The corpse worms surrounded the hole and did not jump into the water hole, so they should be afraid of the water.
