"Sister, why do you look like you've eaten shit? Brother Zhou Bo is right, it's the rainy season." Song Yingchun said.

I glanced at her.

"No, it's okay. Sister just remembered that in June and July last year, we were still in London playing with our aunt at home. She remembered the pea paste we ate at that time and the sandwiches she made, so." Bai Lu said.

"Oh, the food cooked by my aunt? It's really as disgusting as feces." Yingchun retorted bluntly.

How bad is that?

However, Xiao Yingchun's words were rough but her logic was not rude. Bai Lu's expression was indeed frowned. I think the connection between the plum rain season and the white devil was enough to make her have such an embarrassed expression. She and I were both afraid of the unknown things in our hearts, but on the surface, we didn't say it out loud, so no one asked anyone else.

The rain outside was still falling, as if there was a thick veil between the sky and the earth. We stayed in this cave, sitting next to the cauldron, warming ourselves by the fire, trying to get rid of the moisture. Everyone was silent, for the same thing, but no one dared to mention it. This leisure time that we had been looking forward to with great difficulty, if we mentioned anything about it, wouldn't it completely ruin the mood?

This layer of paper cannot be broken, just like when it’s the last moment of summer vacation, no one wants to mention that they are going to school soon. It’s the same principle.

"What's wrong with you guys today? You all look so sad. It's just raining, can't it rain all the time? Look at you guys, as if something big has happened. It's really funny." Song Yingchun said, still looking at me.

She thought I would argue with her or scold her as usual, but I didn't have the time for that and didn't say anything.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, there was a strange knocking sound inside the cave, and the sound spread from inside to outside. It seemed that someone was knocking on the door behind the thick wall of the stone chamber, in the restricted area that we now assume is the forbidden area. The continuous knocking on the door made me break out in a cold sweat. When I turned to look at Song Bailu, she was so scared that her face turned pale. Did she know who the visitor was?

"If this door is opened, isn't it the spiral staircase inside the cave? Is there someone here? Everyone is here." Song Yingchun was also surprised and asked.

"When that door opens, there is an endless abyss inside," I said.

Boom boom boom.

There was another rapid knock on the door, not only hard but also very urgent, as if someone had left their keys behind and was anxiously trying to get in. But we were all there, and the door was on the other side of the wall, so we could just pull it instead of pushing it, so why knock? Therefore, the person who came was not a human.

Not even a ghost. Ghosts are transformed from humans and they can’t be that stupid.

So, what came from outside was the species with white butterfly wings recorded in the scroll, known as the white devil. But so far, I still don’t know what it is.

The knocking on the door had been going on for a long time. We just listened, not daring to move, and holding on to a certain kind of fluke, hoping that the knocking would be over after it stopped.

Sure enough, the sound stopped for a moment, and our tense hearts relaxed a little, but then the roaring sound suddenly started again, as if countless feet were stepping on the mountain upside down, rumble! rumble!

The whole mountain was shaken by the sudden force. We couldn't stand steadily and the girls fell down one after another. I fell down after a while and my back was numb.

During the rainy season, there are many disturbances in the mountains, and demons with white butterfly wings are roaming in the caves.

What I am thinking about now is the sentence that Yunwen read to me a month ago, "The cave is in turmoil." Isn't that exactly what is happening now?

"Song Bailu, can you tell me now? What exactly is that demon with white butterfly wings? It has the power to shake the mountains and can break down the door at any time and rush out to deal with us. Only by knowing what it is can we know how to deal with it. Don't tell me it is a demon or something like that. I don't believe in those weird things." I shouted.

Boom!

Crunch!

The noises outside were becoming more frequent, and the door was obviously unable to hold on. The last bit of luck should have been shattered. What was coming could not be escaped.

"During the plum rain season, there are many disturbances in the mountains. There is a demon carrying white butterfly wings and causing trouble in the cave. This creature is big and has antennae as long as an adult's arm. There are red-eyed human eyes on the butterfly wings. It can spread fine powder. If someone is bitten, the whole body will be festered within seven days and the person will die without treatment. It has a vicious temperament and likes to eat people. It likes to be in the spotlight." Bai Lu shouted.

It has butterfly wings, antennae, five pairs of abdominal legs, can disperse pollen, and is a good place to gather light?

"I understand. What grows in that abyss are moths, and all their characteristics are basically the same! In addition, they appear during the plum rain season and burst out in large numbers when the ground is moist. This characteristic and habit is very similar to a certain pest in our rural area, called cutworms, and the adult form of cutworms is moths." I said hurriedly.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a bang, and suddenly a huge fleshy worm head emerged from the cave wall, turning over the soil and rushing towards us!

"Wow!! What the hell is this thing!" Song Yingchun screamed.

Not to mention the girls, even I felt sick and scared when I saw such a big flesh worm. I hurriedly took them to retreat away from the big worm. But at this time, there were a few more thump sounds, and several more worms popped up behind me. Some were on the wall of the cave, some on the ceiling of the cave, and some jumped out directly from the ground. For a while, these disgusting things were crawling everywhere.

I was wondering why I always felt creepy every time I heard the creaking sound. It turns out that this cave is not a place for people to live in. Even bats don't want to stay there for long. The reason is that this is a termite hole, which is specially used to breed these insects through the egg stage and even the larval stage, and then come out to harm people.

Now I understand that I must not underestimate the advice of the ancients. They had already warned me in the documents they wrote, but I did not take them seriously, which led to today's disaster. Now I also fully understand why the cave was blocked by rocks before, which was to prevent these giant worms from running out of the cave!

These larvae are not so bad, they are just big fleshy worms, but those adults, those moths have a strong attraction to light. If they fly out, they can travel thousands of miles away. If they mate and reproduce in other places, not only crops, but all plants will be harmed by them.

"What should we do? Zhou Bo, we are surrounded. They don't look like ordinary worms. They look like they can eat people." Song Bailu asked hurriedly.

"Pick up the torches. They are afraid of fire when they are larvae. Each of you hold one and stand in front of them. Stand back to back and be responsible for one direction each. Hurry!" I shouted.

The girls obediently picked up a torch each, and they stood back to back, waving the torches in front of them. Sure enough, the temperature could drive them away a little and make them afraid.

Under the firelight, I could see their appearance clearly. Their bodies were rough, covered with countless grains, and were dark brown in color. There were four hairs on their backs. They were definitely some kind of subspecies of cutworms, also known as earthworms. I just didn't know what they ate to grow so big. I thought just one of them was three or four meters long and more than fifty centimeters tall.

As they moved, they made the same creaking noise I had heard in the cliff.

"It's so disgusting! Brother Zhou Bo, I don't want to stay here anymore. Please take me out. I would rather get wet in the rain than see these things again." Yingchun shouted anxiously.

I was upset and couldn't think of a way to get out for a while. I saw more and more big fleshy bugs coming out from all around me. They had blocked the light outside, making the oxygen thin. My nose was filled with the earthy and pungent smell of those bugs.

"Cover your nose quickly, they will emit poisonous gas, and you will be poisoned if you smell it for too long! Also, Zhou Bo, once they block all the gaps, the oxygen will be thin, the fire will be extinguished, and we will definitely die." Song Bailu shouted.

Before one crisis was over, another one arose. The door creaked and was about to break. Not only that, the thick wall that was blocking it was also about to collapse, and those white demons were about to come out!
