Although Mingxi and the others have temporarily escaped the crisis, Du Yuqi, a newcomer, is about to face the biggest trouble of entering this world! !
Five minutes ago, Du Yuqi was hurrying on his way when he suddenly realized something seemed wrong ahead. He took a closer look and found a mound of earth about ten square meters in area bulging out in the bushes. The color of the earth was very fresh, and it was obvious that it had just been turned over. From a distance, it looked like a new grave. The mound was still shaking slightly, and a strange "crunching" sound could be faintly heard from it, as if dozens of hard walnuts were rubbing against each other!
As soon as he saw this, Du Yuqi immediately felt a chill on his spine. What he feared would come true! He kept praying to the gods and Buddhas all the way, asking them not to cause any trouble, but what he feared would come true.
If it were Du Yuqi who had just arrived in this world, he might have gone closer and dug up the soil out of curiosity to see what was inside. However, after witnessing the tragic death of the driver, Du Yuqi knew very well that this seemingly beautiful forest was actually extremely dangerous. The lumberjack driving a steel mecha had to die here, let alone himself at this moment?
In the eyes of the monster, I might be a piece of juicy food that can walk, perfect for being the ingredient in a sandwich...
So when Du Yuqi saw this "earthbump", he turned around and ran away without saying a word! He was really decisive and did not hesitate at all.
His decisive action was undoubtedly very wise. When he saw Du Yuqi turned around and ran away, the big mound of earth with fresh soil exploded completely in an instant. The moist soil shot out everywhere, and a terrible and hideous long black shadow suddenly jumped out from it, stretching like a snake in the air, making a "click-click" sound, and chasing after Du Yuqi's back!
After running for only 20 to 30 meters, Du Yuqi realized something very unfortunate. The speed of the monster chasing him was faster than his. If he continued to run, the only outcome would be that he would be knocked to the ground by the monster and die miserably on the spot. With his back facing the enemy, he had no power to resist at all! !
As soon as he thought of this, the muscles on Du Yuqi's face trembled constantly, his breathing became rapid, and his chest kept heaving. He suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, and stopped running away. Instead, he turned around to face the enemy, and at the same time pulled out the machete from his waist!
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!!!"
At this moment, Du Yuqi's heart was filled with these four words! In the face of the terrible pressure of death, he was not crushed, but burst out with amazing courage in an instant!
As soon as Du Yuqi turned around, the monster that was chasing him immediately let out a strange cry and rushed towards him. A fishy smell immediately filled his nose. Du Yuqi, who was holding the machete tightly, was breathing heavily through his nostrils. He didn't know why, but he used the machete in his hand to make an upward move very smoothly, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.
This time, the challenge was successful!
Du Yuqi only felt a sharp increase in the power in his hand, and then a sharp pain came from the base of his right hand holding the knife! And the blade of the machete collided with the enemy's body, making a dull "bang bang" sound, as if it had encountered something hard.
After finally knocking it away, he staggered back several steps. If he hadn't had the support of a tree behind him, he would have almost sat down.
The monster that he picked up was also thrown out and hit a rock behind it, then rolled over quickly. Only then did Du Yuqi see clearly the appearance of the monster that was chasing him. It looked like a giant snake two or three meters long, brown all over, but its whole body was segmented like a centipede, and each segment was covered with a layer of hard stone shell with obvious long thorns on it, which looked daunting.
Its head is a giant mouth that looks like a **, and it seems to have no eyes, ears, or nose. Of course, that "**" is actually made up of extremely sharp teeth, which makes people feel creepy at first sight, not to mention being bitten. It is estimated that a large amount of flesh and blood will be torn off with one bite!
After rolling over, the monster immediately stood in a semi-upright position like a cobra. The strange "clicking" sound it made when moving was caused by the collision of the hard shell on its joints.
"What the hell is this thing!!" Du Yuqi was a little stunned, but fortunately, the previous experience of successfully knocking this guy away gave him some confidence, so he could continue to hold the machete and be on high alert.
Suddenly, the monster's body bounced, and its tail lashed the ground fiercely. The soft grass was lashed by its tail, and the soil and grass flew everywhere, even with an explosion effect. Then, with the reaction force of the lash, the monster insect with amazing explosive power shot out and pounced on Du Yuqi again! !
Fortunately, Du Yuqi had gradually calmed down by this time. Knowing that his strength was obviously inferior to that of the opponent, he would certainly not fight it head-on. While the monster's tail was whipping him, he had already pounced to the side.
Although his face hit the stone below when he landed, and he suddenly saw stars and his nose bled, he was in a very embarrassing situation, but at least he managed to dodge the opponent's attack. After Du Yuqi landed, he immediately rolled up without even wiping the blood from his nose. He stood up again with his machete in hand and was on high alert.
But at this moment, he discovered good news: this strange insect did not seem to be intact. You could see that a part of the shell in the middle of its body was obviously broken. From the gaps in the broken shell, a pale yellow liquid kept coming out, sliding down the surface of the body, and finally falling on the grass on the ground, making a "sizzling" sound and emitting bursts of green smoke. This was obviously the acidic blood in the legend that could corrode armor and weapons.
The injuries of this strange insect should have directly damaged its internal organs, which is quite serious for any creature. No wonder when Du Yuqi saw it, it huddled in a pile of mud. It should have found a dark environment to hide and heal its wounds.
