Chapter 216 - Big Worm
Chapter 216: Big Worm
As she slid down, Lu Xiaocha pulled off one end of a tree vine river and held it in her hand. The other end quickly threw out and wrapped around her two brothers, stopping them from rolling down.
“Tsk…”
Lu Beichen only felt pain all over his body.
Lu Beifeng pulled the tree vine and used his other hand to pull Lu Beichen.
The bottom was bottomless. If he really fell like this, he would lose half his life even if he did not die.
“What’s going on? When did a cliff appear here?”
Lu Beifeng looked up. “Xiaocha, are you alright?”
Lu Xiaocha said, “I have no problem. Find a place to stand firm first.”
If it were anyone else, they would definitely not be able to hold the weight of these two boys with one hand. However, Lu Xiaocha was strong, so there was no problem at all.
“There’s a rock over there. I’ll see if I can jump over.”
They were lucky. The slope was gentle when they rolled down. Moreover, there were some small branches blocking them, and they were entangled by the vines that Lu Xiaocha pulled down in time.
Otherwise, they would really fall.
Lu Beifeng’s rock climbing ability was not bad. Soon, he stood on the protruding rock.
Lu Beichen also went over with their help.
The stone Lu Xiaocha was holding had already loosened because it was bearing the weight of three people. After the two of them stabilized themselves, it completely fell.
Lu Xiaocha’s body also fell.
“Xiaocha!”
Lu Beichen and Lu Beifeng’s pupils constricted and they quickly looked down.
As Lu Xiaocha’s body fell, she swung the tree vine in her hand and wrapped it around a tree on the mountain wall. Then, she found a place to land and swung over with the power of the tree vine.
After stabilizing himself, he shouted at the top.
“Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, I’m fine.”
The voice from below made the two of them heave a sigh of relief.
“It looks like a cave down here.”
Lu Xiaocha stood at the entrance of a cave halfway up the cliff. The strong wind blew in her face, as if it could blow people away.
“Brother, do you want to come down? If you jump down, I’ll catch you.”
Lu Beifeng was speechless.
Only his sister dared to say that. No one else would be so confident.
In the end, the two of them chose to jump down. Lu Xiaocha swung the tree vine in her hand and easily pulled her brother to the entrance of the cave.
“This cave is quite big. Do you want to go in and take a look?”
Lu Beichen touched his face. When he rolled down, the skin on his forehead was bleeding. It hurt.
Lu Xiaocha walked in front. “Then let’s go in and take a look.”
She had a feeling that there was something in this cave.
After the three of them walked in, the cave became darker and darker.
Fortunately, they had cell phones with them. After turning on the flashlight, they could still see the road clearly.
“What’s that noise?”
In this extremely quiet cave, even the slightest sound could be amplified.
Lu Beichen said, “Up there.”
The flashlight shone upward and saw black bats hanging on the stone wall. The bats’ eyes were red and looked quite scary.
Lu Beifeng took a step forward and hugged his sister. Lu Beichen also subconsciously squatted down.
The bats above their heads flapped their wings and flew out of the cave.
Fortunately, it did not attack them.
Lu Beifeng exhaled. “Bats carry many viruses in their bodies. It’s best not to be bitten by them.”
Lu Xiaocha nodded to show that she understood.
The three of them walked in the cave for an unknown period of time before their vision gradually widened.
In the endless cave, there were densely packed snake-like tree roots.
The tree roots extended into the cave like a huge net. The tree roots hanging in the middle closed together, looking like a huge nest.
“There’s something in there.”
Lu Xiaocha could even clearly hear the sound of something jumping.
Drip…
Something fell from the ceiling. The sticky liquid had a fishy smell and only made people feel disgusted.
Lu Xiaocha reacted faster than her mind. She retreated with her two brothers almost instantly.
In a hurry, the flashlight shone upwards. Lu Beifeng and the others also saw what it was.
It was a bug the size of a small motorcycle. It was pitch-black and had a mouth full of dense teeth. At that moment, it was clinging to the mountain wall.
The liquid that had fallen to the ground was its saliva.
Lu Beichen: “This is too disgusting!”
Lu Beifeng shouted, “What the hell is that?!”
While they were talking, the worm had already wriggled its fat body down from the mountain wall and opened its mouth to bite the three of them.
The tree vine in Lu Xiaocha’s hand was thrown out. With a bang, the insect was sent flying by her strength.
However, the ordinary tree vine was also scrapped.
“Guys, stay away.”
Lu Xiaocha casually broke off a tree root and stabbed it into the insect’s head.
The black worm struggled in pain and opened its mouth to bite Lu Xiaocha.
Lu Xiaocha pulled out the sharp tree root and continued to stab it until it stopped moving.
“Xiaocha, there’s more in the cave!”
The sound of the insect just now had clearly awakened the other insects in the cave.
Lu Beifeng only hated himself for not bringing Blue Frost with him. However, he had a dagger on him. His body was nimble as he dodged the attacks of those insects and could also cause damage to them.
Lu Beichen’s situation was worse. He had always been protected by his sister. He tried his best to hide in a safe place to avoid dragging Fourth Brother and his sister down.
But at this moment, Lu Beichen only hated himself for being weak and useless. He clenched his fists tightly and did not dare to make a sound.
Suddenly, a fishy smell came from the side. Lu Beichen rolled on the ground and barely dodged the attack of a bug. However, when his arm hit the sharp stone, a piercing pain came.
Lu Beichen gasped and his handsome face turned pale.
The bug came again. Just as Lu Beichen thought that he could not avoid it, Lu Xiaocha descended from the sky. She held a branch tightly in her hand and stabbed it down, piercing the bug’s head.
Lu Beichen panted and smiled bitterly. “Sorry, I’m a burden.”
Lu Xiaocha helped him up. “Brother, you’re injured.”
A blood-red viciousness flashed across her eyes.
The thin young man leaned against the stone wall and suddenly realized that something felt wrong behind him. His heart skipped a beat when he shone the flashlight on his phone.
“Xiaocha.”
Lu Beichen’s voice was bitter. “These… are these eggs?”
Lu Xiaocha’s pupils constricted.
“It might be.”
Under the light, one could clearly see the developing insects in the eggs.
“Let’s go out first.”
Lu Beifeng ran over. The awakened insects had been dealt with, but he realized that there were more sleeping insects in the depths of the cave.
