Chapter 465: Hideous Stone Gate
Killing this ghoul spider king allowed Yuan Jie to finally run out of all ammunition, but fortunately, this time he and Yuan Hecheng have accumulated a lot of experience against ghoul spiders along the way, and the ghoul spider king has a flaw in the fight, and Yuan Hecheng is killed by a blow.
This ghoul spider king is the leader of all the ghoul spiders in the castle, and after his death, the ghoul spider group immediately fell into chaos, just like when Su Fei killed the Worm Gu King and Yo Worm Gu Worm, the ghoul spiders scurried around like headless flies, and the threat was greatly reduced.
Flutter β
Yuan Jie raised his foot and stepped on a palm-sized ghoul spider, and his fragile internal organs burst open under his feet. Yuan Jie threw the M16 with the completely empty magazine on the ground, and looked up at the door in front of him: "Behind the door in front should be the staircase leading to the fourth floor." β
"I guess so. Yuan Hecheng pulled his steel knife out of the head of the ghoul spider king, and there was still a pale blue ice fragment left on the tip of the knife, which was the remnant of the shattered ice core on the knife.
"Let's get rid of all these annoying ghoul spiders first. β
Yuan Hecheng stretched out the searchlight stick to the cobwebs in the surrounding room, and the flames from the mouth of the rod quickly ignited the cobwebs and spread to the spider nests throughout the room.
The ghoul spiders, which had panicked after the death of the Ghoul Spider King, let out a sharp scream one by one, and the spreading flames made its original panic infinitely amplified the screaming sound filled with deep fear.
The ghoul spider fled out of the room in a hurry under the fire, sparing every crevice, and soon the flames engulfed the entire ghoul spider nest. However, although the room was burning, the door was not affected, because for some reason, water continued to seep through the cracks in the door, making it impossible for the surrounding flames to get close.
Yuan Jie and Yuan Hecheng walked to the bottom of the gate under the entanglement of the protective body, and began to look at the shape of the gate under the reflection of the flames.
The gate is almost two people tall, and the material of the gate is not hard wood, but two monolithic pieces of rock hewn out. Divided into two parts, left and right, it looks like it should be able to push inward.
There are quite fine reliefs on the closed gate, and even after many years of erosion, you can vaguely see his magnificent appearance from the reliefs.
Yuan Jie peeled off the cobwebs on the relief, revealing the original face of the relief, and the two doors were glued together to form a hideous grimace, or the face of a monster, with sharp teeth and gloomy eyes.
At the moment when Yuan Jie and the grimace looked at each other, they felt an inexplicable chill rushing from under their feet, as if the next moment the grimace would pounce down from the stone gate and swallow the two of them in one bite.
Yuan Hecheng was not in the mood to check what was engraved on the door, he was now full of thoughts about getting the feather and leaving this place as soon as possible, and then go to the eldest young master to ask for merit and reward, and return to the family.
"Drink-" Yuan Hecheng put his hands on the edge of the door and pushed inward with all his might. But no matter how hard Yuan Hecheng tried, the stone gate could not be opened, as if something was pressing against the gate from the inside, making the gate unable to move.
"Yuan Jie, come over and help. Yuan Hecheng couldn't use his hands, so he pushed inward with his shoulders against the gate, and finally let the door start to move inward slightly.
Yuan Jie was just about to help during the trial period, when an inexplicable uneasiness suddenly hit his heart, and Yuan Jie was stunned for a moment. After he regained his attention, he looked up at the stone door and happened to meet the grimace on the door again.
The eerie and terrifying ghost eyes and sharp fangs made Yuan Jie stunned in place and didn't move at all.
"This stupid thing! is actually in a daze at this time!" Yuan Hecheng cursed in his heart, he had almost used his strength to eat, and the stone gate was also slowly moving inward, but after all, it was a little bit worse.
Yuan Hecheng's mind was now full of meritorious service to increase his voice in front of the eldest young master, and the hideous color flashed in his eyes, and the cultivation of the fifth layer of the Minghe Realm all exploded at this moment, and he burst out with all his strength in the loud shouts, and finally pushed the stone gate inward.
"Yuan Jie is coming (coming) ......"
Before Yuan Hecheng finished speaking, he was suddenly swallowed up by a monstrous water wave, and in this water wave, countless slippery strips were flapping his body, and he was frantically pouring down towards the stone gate that was pushed open with the water waves!
Yuan Hecheng was instantly coerced and drowned in it.
Yuan Jie was so frightened by the scene in front of him that his face was bloodless, he didn't even dare to go up to rescue Yuan Hecheng, and ran backwards with his hands and feet at a fast speed!
What gushes out of this stone gate is a piece of emerald green blue water, which is piled up inside the door and I don't know how many meters high, no wonder Yuan Hecheng will work so hard to push the door. But what frightened Yuan Jie was not the rushing water waves, but the countless black-spotted water snakes swimming in this water!
This is not a road leading upstairs at all, but a snake cave full of black-spotted water snakes!
Countless black-spotted water snakes poured out of the door like crowded loaches, and Yuan Hecheng was submerged in an instant. Before he could react, he felt countless pinprick-like sharp pains on his body, and then his whole body swelled like an inflated balloon, but in a few seconds, he changed from a stout man to a round fat ball.
"Yuan Jie save (me)ββ"
Yuan Hecheng struggled to pick up the black spotted water snake on his body and wanted to rush out, but the originally effortless action was difficult for him at this moment, the poison of the black spotted water snake after mutation was extremely violent, otherwise it would not be called one of the two major natural disasters together with the obsidian miasma in the poisonous swamp!
Where the black spotted water snake passed, even the swamp giant crocodile had to retreat, this was a monster whose combat power was comparable to the third layer of the Minghe Realm, and the armor on his body couldn't even shoot bullets.
But after such a powerful monster is poisoned, it can only end up being dismembered.
"Helpβhelpβ"
Yuan Hecheng struggled frantically in the snake pile, but countless black-spotted water snakes had already wrapped him into a snake cocoon, which was impermeable inside and out. Yuan Hechengkong has a five-layer cultivation in the Ming Harmony Realm, but he is paralyzed under poisoning, not to mention that even struggling has become a luxury.
Yuan Hecheng first felt that his hands and feet were swollen and unconscious, and then he felt that the paralysis gradually began to spread upward from his feet, and his consciousness began to gradually become blurred.
The poison of the black spotted water snake made Yuan Hecheng's throat swell and swell at an alarming rate, and the swollen tissues frantically pressed the tracheal cartilage, making his breathing more and more unsustainable. What's worse is that the snake venom of the black spotted water snake itself has some kind of neurotoxicity, and Yuan Hecheng's spontaneous breathing is becoming weaker and weaker, and even the entire respiratory muscle group has irreversible spasms at the last moment.
Finally, a few minutes later, Yuan Hecheng, who was trapped internally and externally, had all his internal organs exhausted, and he couldn't move.
The nearby black-spotted water snakes swarmed towards Yuan Hecheng's corpse, eager to burrow into his body like leeches and eat flesh and blood.
Originally, the ancient castle sank under the swamp, and this room became a natural hibernation place for the black spotted water snake, Yuan Hecheng was equivalent to directly waking up the black spotted water snake in the east, and the first thing the hungry black spotted water snake did when he woke up was crazy eating!
Where is one Yuan Hecheng enough for these tens of thousands of black-spotted water snakes to eat, they were gnawed into white bones in the blink of an eye, and more black-spotted water snakes poured out, they crawled around on every floor, and anything that could make them hungry was snatched up by them, and even all kinds of ghouls were not spared!
The entire castle has become a snake plague graveyard!
Yuan Jie watched as the black-spotted water snakes below raised their bodies one by one and hissed at themselves in intimidation, and even some tall adult black-spotted water snakes raised their heads and sprayed venom at him from their mouths, making Yuan Jie almost lose his soul with fright.
The group of black spotted water snakes that gushed out just now rushed towards him frantically on the water waves, Yuan Jie saw that he couldn't escape, so he jumped on the windowsill in the corridor in a hurry, and the black-spotted water snakes immediately gathered under the windowsill, poking their heads out and wanting to come up.
The window that opened on the stone wall was only one meter high, and the continuous flow of black spotted water snakes had piled up a slope under the window sill, and more black spotted water snakes were constantly crawling from below, constantly pushing the slope higher.
I'm afraid I'll be able to climb the windowsill in a few minutes.
Yuan Jie unscrewed a new searchlight rod and aimed the head of the spark at the snakes, who were scalded by the sparks and tumbled downward, and the slope quickly collapsed, but then more black spotted water snakes swam towards them.
"Damn, it's terrible!" The searchlight stick made Yuan Jie also see the current situation clearly. I don't know how much water was stored in that room when the ancient castle sank underground, but it hasn't been drained for so long! Now the water in the corridor on the entire third floor can almost reach the ankles, and the water is densely packed with black-spotted water snakes, and there is no place for Yuan Jie to put his feet.
Yuan Jie thought about it in the room just now, a pale skeleton could be seen faintly in the group of snakes, Yuan Jie unconsciously patted his chest, and the golden branch and leaf were placed there.
"It's good that I have the golden branches and leaves in my hand, otherwise it will be over......" Yuan Jie didn't feel anything about Yuan Hecheng's death, he picked up the window rock that protruded outwards and looked out, and finally his gaze stayed on the outer wall of the castle.
Perhaps due to long-term corrosion, or perhaps for other reasons, the entire castle exterior wall is pitted, and many bricks protrude outward.
"Su Fei, let's go up. β
Yuan Jie stretched out his head to look up, only to see a vertical rain curtain lapping his gas surface, but it was indeed a slope that could be climbed overhead.
Without waiting for Yuan Jie to make a decision, Yuan Jie suddenly felt that the tip of his shoe was hit by something, he looked down and was suddenly taken a big jump, those black spotted water snakes didn't know when they had actually piled up to a place that was only more than thirty centimeters away from the window, just a black spotted water snake shot upward, and the sharp fangs bit on Yuan Jie's waterproof combat boots, fortunately, these boots were very hard, and the small black spotted water snake could not bite through.
Yuan Jie didn't dare to hesitate anymore, he tore off the black-spotted water snake that bit his combat boots, reached out and grabbed a protruding rock on the outer wall, and tried to follow the footsteps of Su Fei and the others to climb towards the roof.
With lightning and thunder above his head and poisonous snakes everywhere under his feet, Yuan Jie had no choice.
