Chapter 1173: Underground Nursery (Two Chapters in One)

The rat lizard is poisonous, and the smell of the corpse is highly poisonous, and after everyone smells a trace of peculiar smell, they hurriedly retreat more than ten meters back, ready to wait for the poisonous gas to dissipate before approaching.

"Great, after holding on for so long, this damn creature has finally been killed by us......"

Cheers erupted.

Xue Liqing, who slipped into the bushes, got up from the ground in mud, and looked at the elated crowd, and a happy smile appeared on his face......

"Xue Liqing, are you okay?" Wu Xinhua, who was also covered in mud, came to Xue Liqing and asked with concern.

"I didn't consume much spiritual energy, but my physical strength was a bit large, but it didn't get in the way, and I could recover after resting for a while. Xue Liqing said as he and Wu Xinhua walked towards the people in the distance.

After a while, Xue Liqing, who had shown himself outstanding in the battle, took Wu Xinhua and the others to check the half-charred corpse of the mouse lizard that had been burned by the fire.

"Be careful of the poisonous gas emitted from this mouse lizard, and if you feel unwell, immediately retreat. ”

After Xue Liqing gave an instruction, he covered his mouth and nose with one hand and the lighting equipment in the other, examining the corpse of the mouse lizard.

The crowd followed suit and gathered around the lizard's carcass to examine it.

"How strange is this creature?"

"Although it is not an alien beast, its speed and strength are a little stronger than ordinary second-order peak cultivators. ”

"No, it's much stronger than a second-order peak cultivator, didn't you see Xue Liqing being swept away by it just now? If it fights alone, except for Xue Liqing, I'm afraid none of us are its opponents. ”

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Xue Liqing asked researcher Wang Ziqian's opinion, "Wang Ziqian, what do you think?"

Wang Ziqian looked at the mouse lizard and muttered, "How do I know this, with my shallow research and understanding of the spirit world, it is normal for such a strange and powerful creature to appear.

This creature could have broken through the weak point of our encirclement when its life was in danger just now, but instead it chose to burrow into the hole, which I suspect may be strange. ”

"If you say so, why don't we go into the cave and take a look. Wu Xinhua proposed.

"It's not good! It's dark down there, and if you're in danger, it's hard for those who go down to escape. Someone objected.

"This strange creature seems to be guarding this cave, and there are no valuable treasures down there, if there is, it will be a great achievement!"

Everyone expressed their opinions, no one could convince anyone, and finally everyone looked at Xue Liqing, waiting for him to make the final decision.

"The rain has stopped...... Xue Liqing looked up at the sky and found that the rain clouds didn't know when they were carried away by the wind.

"Don't sell it, everyone is waiting for you to make a decision!" said Wu Xinhua, the deputy.

Xue Liqing pondered for a moment, and then said, "Although our mine site is out of production now, when rescuers arrive, it will be a sure thing to reopen the mine in the future."

This cave is not far from our mine, and the presence of this strange creature poses a certain danger to the safety of the mine......"

When everyone heard Xue Liqing say this, they immediately understood the meaning of his words.

In order to eliminate the safety hazards, the cave must be explored.

Now Xue Liqing, who is the person in charge of the safety of the mine, said that even if someone has objections to the cave, he can only fully cooperate.

After the final word, everyone was nervous and excited, the crisis is directly proportional to the benefit, the greater the crisis, the greater the gain.

Of course, the reverse is also true, so they may face even greater danger in the future.

After more than half an hour, Xue Liqing recovered his strength, and a group of people with lighting equipment and weapons lined up neatly to prepare to go down to the cave.

There are a total of five people in the hidden danger investigation team, the lowest cultivation is Wang Ziqian, a researcher in the early stage of the second order, the highest is Xue Liqing in the early stage of the third order, and the cultivation of the other three is all in the second order high stage.

Wu Xinhua, who had the peak strength of the second order, did not go down to the underground cave, he was arranged by Xue Liqing to be responsible for answering at the entrance of the underground cave.

Is the entrance of the ground hole responsible for answering?

What are you kidding, if the people who enter the cave are really in danger, the people on the ground will not have time to respond.

Xue Liqing's arrangement is nothing more than a plan for the worst, if all the people who go down are wiped out, Wu Xinhua, as the deputy, will take over his position, take the people back to the mine immediately, and then lead the others in the mine to quickly evacuate this place.

One third-order early stage, three second-order high stage, and one second-order early stage, on the Blue Star, the combat power of such a team, if hunting strange beasts in the wild, as long as they do not go deep into some dangerous areas, it can be said to be invincible.

Weapons include short guns, resin from oil trees, barbed wire, and insect repellent sprays.

Everything was ready, Xue Liqing waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

"If there is danger under the cave, don't fall in love with the battle...... Wu Xinhua said to the team members who were about to leave.

............

In the dark cave where you couldn't see your fingers, five bright beams of light suddenly appeared.

Descending from the cave, Xue Liqing and the five of them took the lighting equipment and walked slowly while looking around.

The more they walked inside, the more surprised everyone became, they thought that the space in the cave was very small, but after walking for a while, the road became wider and wider.

If they hadn't known that this was under a cavern, they would have wondered if they were in the wrong place.

"This underground space hasn't been excavated recently, it looks like it's been going on for years. Researcher Wang Ziqian held a lighting device in his left hand and a special spiritual weapon in his right hand, scanning the surrounding walls.

"How many years?" Xue Liqing frowned, he felt that things might not be as simple as he imagined.

The team continued to explore, and after a while, they stepped out of the passage and found themselves in a large space the size of several basketball courts.

"Click. ”

Someone stepped on something.

"Bones, a lot of bones. The investigator, who had stepped on something, shouted to his companions.

The light converged, and everyone saw that around the companion who had stepped on something, there were many white bones, with heads, broken arms, and broken legs.

Wang Ziqian looked at the white bones on the ground, frowned and said, "These bones must be caused by the prey that the mouse lizard usually catches and takes it home to eat." ”

"That's a lot of bones, isn't it?!" how many years it would take for that mouse lizard to accumulate so many bones?" said one of the team members.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions froze, and they realized something at the same time......

............

The gray giant eggs, which are up to 1.8 meters long, are embedded in the walls, one by one, and at a glance, there are at least a thousand.

People with dense phobias will definitely be stupefied if they see this scene.

"This ...... This is the nursery of the rat lizard!" Everyone who came to the end of the cave looked at the dense gray giant eggs in front of them, and everyone lost their minds instantly.

At the same time, there is such a picture in everyone's mind, one day, the mine site that resumes production, everyone eats and drinks after a hard day, and returns to the dormitory to rest after nightfall.

And at this moment, the gray giant egg in the cave cracked, and thousands of rat lizards broke out of their shells.

"Roaring ......"

Hungry, they roared one after another, and then they crawled out of their burrows in groups to look for prey to eat.

In this way, the mine not far from the cave became the target of this group of creatures, and they began to attack the humans in the mine frantically.

The picture of "hiss ......" shattered, Xue Liqing and the others shivered, and the cold sweat that came out of their backs soaked their clothes.

"God forbid, it's good that we discovered this place in advance, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. One of the team members wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and rejoiced.

"Let's get out of here, we have to inform the station of what is going on here, and they can send someone to deal with these domes immediately. Wang Ziqian said with a trembling voice.

"Wang Ziqian, we have no way to contact the station at this time. Xue Liqing, who was quite calm, said.

"......" Everyone was silent for a moment.

"Why don't we take care of these eggs ourselves! The investigator who had stepped on the bones earlier suggested.

"Agreed, it will change later, if we wait for the station to know about the affairs here, and then send someone to deal with these giant eggs, I don't know when it will take!

If the dome hatches before the people at the station arrive, our mine will be in danger. The other two second-order investigators chimed in.

"Well, you're right, there's no time to wait for the station to send someone to deal with these giant eggs, let's go back now and call someone to deal with them together......" As soon as Xue Liqing's words fell, he heard the researcher Wang Qian on the side shouting fiercely.

"Damn it, the rat lizards inside those domes are coming out. ”

"What?"

When the investigators heard this, their expressions changed dramatically, and they all looked at the gray dome embedded in the wall.

"Click...... Bang. ”

"Click...... Bang. ”

"Bang, bang, bang......"

First there was a crisp sound, one, two, three, countless sounds......

The dense sound of shattering echoed in the dark and empty underground space.

"Escape...... After Xue Liqing saw that the rat lizards with a body full of egg liquid that had not yet dried and a body length of nearly two meters crawled out of the gray giant egg, he gave the order to retreat very decisively.

The rat lizards that crawled out of the gray dome quickly adapted to their surroundings, and they were hungry and cooing, and they smelled the sweet taste coming from the air.

That's the taste of food.

"Roaring ......"

The mouse lizard that broke out of its shell first roared in the direction of Xue Liqing's escape, and then it led its own people to climb down from the dirt wall and chased after Xue Liqing and them with flying steps.

The picture that came to mind before happened so quickly, which was unimaginable to Xue Liqing and the others who were running away......

............

On the ground, around the cave, Wu Xinhua and other investigators who were left behind looked at the dark cave boredly.

"The rope moved. One of the investigators suddenly shouted.

"They're back?"

"How is it so fast?"

"It's only been going down for a long time!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ziqian was the first to crawl out of the cave, followed by the three investigators with second-order high-level strength.

"What about Xue Liqing, are you in any danger?" Wu Xinhua saw that no one came up from behind, and he asked the four people who came up with a solemn and somewhat pale face.

"Below the hole is the nursery of the rat lizards, thousands of rat lizards have broken out of their shells and are coming towards the ground......" Before Wang Ziqian finished speaking, the faces of Wu Xinhua and the others immediately changed greatly.

"Nursery?," someone muttered to himself, stunned.

"Although we retreated first, they were very fast, and when they were about to catch up with us, Xue Liqing stopped......" Zhang Ziqian said.

"......" Everyone was silent, Xue Liqing chose to break off for the other four, and the situation in the cave on the spot, he must be more than lucky.

The silence did not last long, and Wu Xinhua, as the deputy, naturally took Xue Liqing's place and gave instructions to everyone.

"Zhang Ziqian, you go back to the mine immediately now, and lead the people in the mine to move to other places first. Wu Xinhua ordered.

"What about you?" asked Zhang Ziqian.

"We're here to snipe those rat lizards and buy you time to retreat. Wu Xinhua said.

"I ...... I, okay, take care. Zhang Ziqian wanted to say that he would stay and let others report the news, but after seeing Wu Xinhua's serious and unquestionable eyes, all the words he wanted to say were swallowed back into his stomach.

After thinking about it a little, you can know why Wu Xinhua arranged it this way, Zhang Ziqian is a researcher, although he has the strength of the second order early stage, but his combat power is the weakest among all the people present.

And in this case, how can there be any argument that researchers will go into battle in person, and their investigators can't do this kind of thing.

"Later, everyone will do their best to stop those rats and lizards, and at least buy ten minutes for everyone in the mine to evacuate. Wu Xinhua glanced at Zhang Ziqian, who was far away, turned around and said to his companions.

"Yes. The investigators who had been left behind to stop the rats and lizards responded in unison, and no one objected.

............

"Roaring ......"

Not long after Zhang Ziqian's front feet walked, a dense beast roar came from the dark cave.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

The sound of clods sliding down is getting closer.

"Throw. Wu Xinhua expected that those rats and lizards had crawled halfway through the tunnel in the underground cave, and immediately gave an order.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The porcelain vase containing the resin of the oil tree was thrown into the cave by the investigators, and a sparse cracking sound came from the cave.

"Ignition. The second directive followed.

"Pong. One of the investigators pointed his palm at the dark cavern, and the light in his palm flashed, and a fist-sized hot fireball suddenly appeared.

"Phew. The condensed fireball arced through the air and fell into the dark cavern.

Seconds later......
