There were so many of them that the buzzing sound when they flapped their wings was deafening and so sharp that it seemed to penetrate straight into their bodies.
Guan Chen, who was closest to him, felt a sudden pain in his eardrums, dizziness, and his head seemed to buzz.
But he still had to hold up his clothes and couldn't cover his ears, so he could only shout at the people below, reminding them: "Stop your ears, quickly stop your ears!"
The people below had already experienced the pain brought by those things. Even though they couldn't hear Guan Chen's words clearly, they quickly covered their ears with their hands and used only their legs to support themselves against the wall to avoid falling. They also moved down a lot to reduce the impact of the sound above.
Guan Chen at the top closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and endured it, silently praying that the things above would leave as soon as possible.
But what he didn't expect was that suddenly, he smelled a smell of blood.
Then, his ears were covered.
In just a few seconds, Guan Chen found that he was not feeling so uncomfortable anymore and his consciousness was much clearer.
Guan Chen suddenly opened his eyes and saw Jia Shen in front of him.
He didn't know how the other person climbed up, and was squeezed with him in this narrow and cramped cave entrance behind him. His rapid breathing and heartbeat were clearly audible.
Guan Chengeng noticed at a glance that the other person's face was pale and his ears were bleeding due to the noise from above.
But the other party ignored him and covered his ears.
He stared at him in amazement, and suddenly found that the other person's eyes were very beautiful, with the perfect ratio between the dark pupils and the whites of the eyes, and they were sharp, bright... and familiar.
His heart trembled suddenly.
At this time, the movement above finally weakened and gradually disappeared.
After a while, those things seemed to have completely left and the surroundings became quiet.
But the five of them seemed to have not come to their senses yet, still immersed in what had just happened.
Finally, it was Anna's voice that drew everyone's attention back: "Guan Chen! You're on top, are you okay?!"
Guan Chen woke up instantly and instinctively responded, "It's okay."
Anna didn't quite believe it. "I'm in so much pain down there. How can you be okay if you're so close? Come on, we can go up now. Go up and take a rest. It's not convenient in this passage."
Guan Chen was still staring at the person in front of him. When he opened his mouth to ask something, Jia Shen had already withdrawn his hand, tore off Guan Chen's clothes that were blocking the cave entrance, and climbed up himself.
Guan Chen noticed that his limbs were weak, so he reached out and pushed him, while also carefully supporting him to prevent him from stepping on empty air.
Jia Shen might have felt extremely uncomfortable, so he did not refuse Guan Chen's kindness. After climbing up with difficulty, he collapsed to the ground, covering his ears with his hands, almost curled up into a ball.
Guan Chen also climbed up and saw this scene.
He leaned over, "You are..."
"Boss!"
He was interrupted by two men coming up from below, who hurried to Jashen to check on him.
Guan Chen swallowed his words and sat aside watching in silence.
After Anna came up, she once again asked about Guan Chen's condition. She didn't believe Guan Chen's words that he was fine and insisted on checking him carefully.
Guan Chen was a little annoyed, but looking at Jia Shen, he thought of something and finally did not refuse. He controlled his temper and responded to Anna's words one by one, his eyes fixed on Jia Shen.
Jia Shen was calmly helped up by his men to sit up. He took a few pills and his complexion improved a lot, but he didn't say anything.
His men soon discovered something was wrong, waved their hands in front of his eyes, and asked in astonishment: "Boss, are you temporarily deaf?"
"Can't hear you?!"
Anna looked over in astonishment.
Guan Chen's face changed slightly.
Jia Shen identified the man's lip shape, nodded lightly, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "My eardrum may be ruptured, it's okay, it will be healed in a while."
"this……"
The two men looked hard to accept.
Jia Shen seemed to sense something and glanced at Guan Chen, then curled his lips and said nothing.
Anna looked surprised, looked at Guan Chen, then looked at Jia Shen, she didn't expect Jia Shen to be so kind. She couldn't help but change her mind.
She said angrily, "It's all the fault of those flying insects!"
"Bugs? Are you sure?" Guan Chen asked.
Anna nodded heavily. "Jason and I ran to the front, actually we wanted to explore the way. When we turned at the end, we saw a passage with bugs crawling all over the wall. Those bugs were not big, about the size of a fingernail, but they glowed with light blue. When they lay there motionless, they were really beautiful."
"But who would have thought that those bugs could eat people! No, to be more precise, they eat flesh and blood. Because when we went over there, we wanted to see what the bugs were like, but we couldn't hold on to the monster we caught. It jumped onto the wall, and once it came into contact with the bugs, it soon turned into a pool of blood!"
Anna and Jashen were both shocked at the time.
This also alarmed the insects, and they returned in fear of ending up like the monster. Unexpectedly, the insects were startled one after another and swarmed towards them. They wished they could grow two flying fire wheels on their feet so that they could run faster.
Guan Chen frowned when he heard this and remembered something, "Where is the other monster?"
He looked at the man who was holding the monster.
The other party was stunned: "I was dragged into the cave, I didn't hold it firmly, and it fell out..."
As he said this, he turned around and looked around, and soon found the trace of the monster, and his eyes widened.
“Well, well, well…”
The others looked over there.
In fact, because of the movement of the flying insects just now, this passage has collapsed to a considerable extent, with huge pieces of fallen rubble everywhere and cracks on the walls on both sides.
At this moment, the place that person pointed to was a huge rock at the base of the wall. In the depression on it, there was a pool of blood, which was overflowing and dripping onto the ground! "Oh, yes, yes, that's what Jia Shen and I saw over there!" Anna said.
“………”
Guan Chen stood up and walked over, frowned and looked at it from a close distance, then turned back and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go check ahead."
"I'll go with you." Anna stood up.
Guan Chen was about to say no, but after a glance, he finally nodded and did not refuse.
Just as the two were about to go over, Jia Shen suddenly stood up from the ground.
"If you want to go, let's go together. I just can't hear anymore, but it's not like I can't walk anymore."
Guan Chen stopped and looked back at him.
Jashen walked quickly over and passed him.
The two men looked at each other and hurried to follow.
Guan Chen raised his hand and pinched his earlobe.
Anna asked with concern: "What's wrong? Does your ear still hurt? I was saying, you were so close at the time, how could you be okay..."
"It's okay, let's go."
Guan Chen didn't want to say more and followed quickly.
Anna didn't say anything more and followed them.
When she reached the passage ahead where she and Jia Shen had gone, Guan Chen saw some residual light on the walls on both sides, probably from the luminous substances on the flying insects.
There are no flying insects here anymore, but like the previous place, there has been a collapse, and even the front has completely collapsed, making it impossible to walk.
"Let's go back. It seems that we can only take that secret passage." Guan Chen said with a frown.
It is not realistic to return the same way because you will encounter those flying insects if you go back.
