Chapter 016 [Surprise]
The military association has prepared many weapons.
Knife, sword, axe, stick, spear, bow and arrow...
Various cold weapons filled a truck cabin and were allowed to be selected by the assessment personnel.
Tang Mubai chose a long bow, a pot of arrows, and a horizontal knife.
I held it in my hand and felt it for a while, and then I found that these cold weapons were made of very well-material and were made of alloys.
More than a hundred people each chose their own weapons and set out toward the barren mountain immediately.
This barren mountain, more than 500 meters high, is bare, without a single tree or weed, only sand and gravel on the ground, as well as intricate paths of sheep intestines, spread throughout the mountain.
More than 100 people who participated in the assessment scattered after going up the mountain, either in groups of three or five, or one person, walking on the sheep's intestinal path, moving towards the top of the mountain, looking for eight-legged sandworms.
At first, Tang Mubai didn't take these well-connected and crisscrossed paths to heart.
After walking upwards for about a hundred meters, I suddenly realized that these small paths of sheep intestines are not roads! They are passages left by eight-legged sandworms passing through the mountains over time!
Just like the rat path and the snake path, it is the road where eight-legged sandworms wander all year round, insect path!
Thinking of this, Tang Mubai hurriedly came out of the "worm path" and walked along the sand and gravel.
Some places of the sand and gravel are too soft, and some places are too hard, making it difficult to walk.
Tang Mubai's actions made the people walking behind him see it, some of them were confused and puzzled, some were awakened and hurriedly left the "worm path".
"What's wrong, this is it?"
A handsome young man with long hair, holding a long knife in his hand, murmured curiously as he walked, "If you don't go on a good road, why...ah!"
With a scream, the young man suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Everyone was shocked by the assessment personnel walking around, turned around quickly, and looked around with a vigilant look on their faces.
"Where are the giant insects? Where are the giant insects?"
"There are no insects, it's almost halfway up the mountain, and there are no eight-legged sandworms!"
"Who was calling me just now? Where are the people? Did they be eaten by insects?"
“…”
The crowd was nervous and confused.
The main reason was that the screaming person disappeared, which made everyone's heart suddenly rise.
"Is it eaten by the giant insect? Impossible!" Tang Mubai frowned.
The system did not give a prompt for life recovery, which means that the person was not dead!
Not dead, but disappeared...
The other party is underground!
At this moment, at the intersection of the two "worm paths", one arm suddenly stretched out from the sand where the young man stood.
"Save me!"
The familiar scream of horror sounded, and the young man's head followed his arm and shouted loudly with fear on his face, "Save me, who will save me?"
No one moved.
The people in front, back and forth were stunned and shocked, but no one took action.
I don’t know if it was scared or indifferent, but let the young man show his upper body and struggle in the "sand pit".
By chance, the drone that was originally floating in the air moved to the other side.
Seeing that the young man struggled and the faster he sank, Tang Mubai's eyes suddenly flashed, and he took out a bundle of ropes hanging around his waist.
There are three bundles of ropes, which are distributed by the Wushu Association to bind the corpses of the eight-legged sandworm.
The eight-legged sandworm has not been found yet, so it has been used to save people first.
Whoosh!
Tang Mubai shook the rope and threw one of them on the ground in front of the young man in the air.
"Catch the rope." Tang Mubai whispered.
The two are more than twenty meters apart.
The young man in despair instinctively grabbed the other end of the rope and tied it tightly to his hands.
Hurry!
Tang Mubai pulled hard and pulled the rope, leading the young man to escape from the "sand pit".
A body looks like a vegetable bug, but it is gray-white all over, with eight sharp centipede feet, more than three meters long, and a waist that looks like a bucket. It is as bulky as a giant insect in a car. At almost the same time, he followed the young man and jumped out of the "sand pit"!
"ah!"
"grass!"
Screams and screams rang out in an instant.
The giant insect's hideous mouthpart, which was as big as a foot basin, chased the young man behind and bit it.
The young man who was pulled by a rope and flew in the air was cold all over, as if he was falling into hell.
Tang Mubai, who was prepared for a long time, had already thrown away the rope he was holding in his hand, picked up the longbow in a flash, and shot it out with an arrow.
Whoosh ~!
The sharp sound of the wind breaking through the mountain resounded halfway through the mountain.
As the light flashed, the Lixian sharp arrow hit the head of the eight-legged sandworm and penetrated through it.
A bunch of yellow-brown liquid was taken out and sprayed in mid-air.
Dong!
The young man fell to the ground and rolled three times, feeling embarrassed.
Bang~!
The eight-legged sandworm fell from the sky and hit the sand two meters away from the young man. The dust splashed out and sprayed the young man's face.
The young man was stiff all over, his breathing stopped, and his eyes widened, with extreme fear.
The scene also fell into silence at this moment, silent.
quick……
Too fast!
From the young man who came out of the "sand pit" for help, to the eight-legged sandworm being shot and killed on the ground, it only took less than five seconds!
The dozen people on this hillside had not yet recovered from the horror of the eight-legged sandworm, but the latter had been killed.
The three-meter-long giant insect corpse was lying next to the young man, motionless.
The arrows flying diagonally towards the distant sky disappeared.
With such a fast and rapid reaction, everyone on the scene was stunned.
The drone in the air flew back and didn't notice it.
Tang Mubai, who maintained his archery posture, was extremely surprised at this moment.
"A eight-legged sandworm can actually recover its life span of 35 years!"
【Life life + 35】
This prompt appeared immediately as the arrow penetrated the head of the eight-legged sandworm.
Tang Mubai didn't expect that the eight-legged sandworm's life span would be so long.
That's right, Tang Mubai sensed something unusual underground one step ahead. When the young man came out of the "sand pit" and shouted, a strange movement suddenly came from the ground under his feet. The abnormal breath was very manic, and he rushed to the location of the young man.
At that moment, Tang Mubai realized what this abnormal movement was.
Eight-legged sandworm!
As expected, it was indeed not surprising.
An eight-legged sandworm has been recycled to a lifespan of 35 years.
On this barren mountain, it is estimated that there are at least four or five hundred eight-legged sandworms...
Wow, you've made a lot of money!
Tang Mubai was ecstatic.
Put away the longbow and quickly walked towards the young man, picked up the rope beside him, and tied up the dead eight-legged sandworm.
There is a nameplate tied to the rope and the name of the corresponding assessment person is on it.
For example, the three ropes that Tang Mubai held were named Tang Mubai.
Once such a rope binds a giant insect corpse, it means that the giant insect corpse has a main body.
The drones in the sky kept hovering, ensuring that no one dared to snatch this method.
After tied up the eight-legged sandworm corpse in a few seconds, Tang Mubai clapped his hands and turned around and left.
He had to go around other places, and at the same time, he could recover the remaining lifespan after the eight-legged sandworm was killed!
"Wait...wait!"
Chapter completed!
