As large numbers of man-eating beetles poured in, more and more rats appeared in the cave. These rats were not only huge in size, they were also completely unafraid of humans. They even wanted to attack them.
After chopping a few rats consecutively, Qin Hai looked around and pointed at a large rock on the left side of the mountain. "Get over there, quick!"
The large stone was about half the height of a person, with an oval shape, and its surroundings were extremely smooth. After Qin Hai carried the girls and climbed up, he also jumped up.In the blink of an eye, all the rats charged towards the huge rock, as if they had gone mad and wanted to attack them.
Qin Hai continuously brandished the machete in his hand, kicking and kicking the mice that tried to climb up the big rock.At this moment, the man-eating beetles that had crawled into the cave had also entered the open space. Qin Hai immediately used a machete to pick up a huge rat and threw it into the sea of insects.
The rat panicked. It wanted to escape, but before it could get up, it was completely surrounded by countless bugs. It was unable to move for the span of a few breaths.Du Meiqi screamed again and again when she saw this scene. Miao Qing was so scared that her face paled and her legs trembled incessantly. She was almost unable to stand up.
"Black beetle!" "Oh my god, why are there so many black beetles here!" Shen Meng stared at the man-eating beetles for a while before exclaiming.
Qin Hai quickly asked, "Sister Shen, do you know this bug?"
Shen Meng explained, "They are called black beetles. Not only is their carapace extremely hard, they can also secrete a very corrosive and special liquid. As long as they want to eat it, they can eat almost anything. These kinds of worms are very rare these days, I never would have thought that there would be so many of them here! "Qin Hai threw a few more rats into the sea of bugs and asked, "Sister Shen, do you have a way to deal with them? If there's no other way, we might not be able to get out today! "
"I did bring some insect repellent powder, but I'm not sure if it's effective against black beetles."
After seeing the black beetles, Shen Meng knew that the situation was urgent. She immediately took out a porcelain bottle from her bag, opened it and looked, and immediately said dejectedly, "There isn't enough insect repellent powder!"
Qin Hai said, "Sending a circle around this big rock is enough. If that's not enough, then God will let us die here!"
Shen Meng sighed. If she had known earlier that she would encounter such a situation, she would have brought more insect repellent. But now, it was useless to regret. He could only do as Qin Hai had said.
Just as Qin Hai and the others carefully sprinkled the insect powder around the big rock, the army of black beetles and the group of large rats in the cave finally began their confrontation.
The group of large rats no longer attacked Qin Hai and the others who were hiding on the large rocks, and began to attack the black beetles one after another.
However, facing these black beetles who were so much smaller than them, these fellows had no way to resist at all.
Soon, the army of black beetles had covered most of the open area. The remaining rats seemed to have realized the danger and began to flee in all directions in fear. Many of them even jumped recklessly towards the big rock that Qin Hai and the others were on.
Not too long after, the black beetles began to spread to the nearby boulders, and almost all of the open space was occupied by the black beetles. As for those incomparably large rats, apart from a small portion that had escaped, most of them had been devoured cleanly by the black beetles, leaving not even their fur behind.At this time, Qin Hai and the others had already poured the last of the insect powder onto the big rock. The four of them squeezed in the middle of the big rock and nervously looked at the densely packed insect sea below the rock.
Qin Hai and Shen Meng were both able to maintain their calm, while Du Meiqi and Miao Qing were both terrified. One of them tightly hugged Shen Meng, while the other merely held onto Qin Hai's sleeves as his body trembled, on the verge of collapse.
Especially Du Meiqi, if it wasn't for Shen Meng forcefully covering Du Meiqi's mouth, perhaps she would have already screamed out in fear.As for Qin Hai and Shen Meng, they were barely able to maintain their calm, but it was also impossible to say that they were not afraid.
If the insect repellent powder they just sprinkled didn't work, then all four of them would be buried in a sea of insects.Although Qin Hai had been through countless life and death situations, this was the first time he had faced an endless number of man-eating bugs. In comparison, he would rather die from bullets or butcher knives. At the very least, he would die quickly and cleanly. If these black beetles crawled onto his body, the consequences would be horrifying.
As more and more black beetles swarmed into the open area, the sea of beetles seemed to surge, and the water level continued to rise. The bugs surrounding the large rock were even more so. As the newcomers continued to join in, countless black beetles gradually surrounded the rock.
Seeing this, Qin Hai and Shen Meng looked at each other, seeing despair in each other's eyes.Just like the sudden torrent of water, which was not something a few sandbags could handle, the massive amount of black beetles was also not something that could be resisted by sprinkling a little insect powder. They had been too optimistic, too natural.
In other words, if there were no other changes, then they would all be buried here today!
Du Meiqi suddenly began to cry and Miao Qing also collapsed into Qin Hai's arms. Although Shen Meng had maintained her calm throughout, her face had turned extremely pale at the last moment.Qin Hai had not given up yet.
He didn't want to give up before the last moment. He had been walking on the edge of life and death for so many years, but he was still safe and sound because he didn't believe that there was no such thing as a path of death. No matter what kind of desperate situation he faced, he always believed that as long as he persevered, he would be able to think of a way.
Qin Hai's gaze quickly swept around the cave. The cave's ceiling was very flat, and there was nowhere for him to hide. Finally, his gaze fell on those stalactites that were as thick as a person's body. A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.The stalactite pillar closest to the boulder was very thick, so perhaps Qin Hai could not even wrap his arms around it. Furthermore, he was very close to the boulder, so he could reach it with his hands, but this stalactite pillar was in the shape of an inverted vertebra. Qin Hai tried cutting it with his machete and found that the stalactites here were extremely hard and had been through many years.
