Snake Swamp Ghost Town (Part 2) Chapter 31 The Second Rain (Part 2)

Under the canyon, countless creeks formed by the rushing rain began to gather. Soon, they would gather into rivers and rush towards the swamps downstream.

Seeing this scene, I suddenly realized the reason for the formation of this oasis: this is the lowest point of the Qaidam Basin, and all groundwater and rainwater will gather here. It can be said that this is the center of the entire Qaidam underground water system. The dry riverbed in Qaidam may not have really stopped flowing, but has turned underground and flowed here. Therefore, no matter how the climate has changed over the past few thousand years, and how the surrounding areas of the basin have changed from forests to deserts, it still remains as lush as it was five thousand years ago.

"Hide the wind and gather the water without moving." Isn't the so-called Feng Shui treasure place a place that has remained unchanged for thousands of years? The place where the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West is located should indeed be the treasured eye of the ancestor of the Dragon Vein of the Kunlun Mountains. Such a wonder can only appear in a place like this.

While he was sighing, the fat man became restless, his big buttocks squeezing around. There wasn't much space in the tree, and everyone felt uncomfortable when he moved. Pan Zi scolded: "What the hell are you doing, are you itching or something?"

The fat man frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on, but my butt suddenly felt terribly itchy." After that, he moved his butt again and started rubbing against the tree.

I thought to myself that he was the one with the most things to do. Just when I was about to say a few words to him, my butt and back suddenly started to itch. It was unbearably itchy, as if something was crawling. I hurriedly arched my legs and tried to grab it with my hands. As soon as I grabbed it, I felt something was wrong and jumped up: "Bug!"

Everyone stood up. I scratched my butt and looked at the tree trunk we were leaning on. My face turned green when I saw it. I saw that the tree trunks were covered with dense flower insects, which were probably only half the size of a little fingernail. They seemed to crawl out from the gaps in the tree trunks. They were all on our legs and buttocks, and we couldn't even pat them away. .

"Holy shit!" The fat man yelled, and several people stamped their feet. But stamping our feet has no effect. These bugs are not afraid of people at all. They seem to think that we are trees and crawl towards us without hesitation. Fortunately, our trousers are tight and they cannot crawl in. But the buttocks of Fatty and I were already in trouble, so we had no choice but to run into the rain and let the rain wash over our buttocks. The cold rain seeped into my pants, and I felt that the itching subsided a little. However, after the itching was over, the original itchy place on my butt hurt again. I cursed in my heart, thinking that it must be poisonous. By this time everyone else had also escaped, and all of a sudden the rain rushed over us, leaving us speechless.

We climbed up another branch and climbed towards the top of the tree. There was a blind spot with a few dense branches where there was slightly less rain, but it was not enough for all five of us to get in. In the end, Aning and I were pushed in. Others covered their heads with tarpaulins, barely able to avoid being exposed to the rain.

Pan Zi said: "Damn, what kind of insect was that just now?"

Aning shook off the water from her hair, patted the dimmed miner's lamp again, and finally brightened it up. Then she looked at her trouser legs and picked out the dead bugs stuck to her legs with her little finger nails. Go to the front of the miner's lamp.

It was a small bug that looked like a spider, and a bit like a small scorpion without a tail. Aning’s hands were shaking, so I couldn’t see clearly. My butt hurt again, so I asked again: What is this? ? Is it poisonous? But he saw Aning's brows frowning. My heart skipped a beat, and before I could say it was too bad, Aning pulled out the knife from Pan Zi’s waist next to him and said to me: “Turn around and take off your pants quickly!”
