Chapter 321: Exploring the Poison Cave

The Ten Thousand Poison Cave was so dark that with the vision of the Martial Emperor powerhouse, it was impossible to see anything a hundred meters away, and the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was so silent that only the footsteps of everyone could be heard, and the slight echoes reflected from the surrounding cave walls, everything was shrouded in gloom and terror.

Today's exploration in the cave are all daring villains, murderous demons who don't blink, villains who live a life of licking blood all day long, plain, there seems to be nothing to make these people afraid.

However, today, in this cave of ten thousand poisons, they have become cowards, vigilant everywhere, cautious, consciously slowing down, and not daring to talk and laugh loudly, but remain silent, staring at their front and back, left and right, guarding against any danger that may arise.

Zhan Chen, as a group of passive joiners who were captured, was naturally arranged at the front of the team, and those bandits who were bold in the past were at this time, but at this time, they retreated behind them, putting innocents at risk.

At first, the cave was very spacious, up to more than ten meters high and nearly 100 meters wide, which could accommodate 100 people to go side by side, but after traveling inward for hundreds of meters, the cave began to gradually narrow, and along the way, there were also large and small caves extending inward, which were probably opened up by the poisons in the cave, and did not know where it led.

When marching more than 1,000 meters into the cave, the main cave was further narrowed, the height shrunk to only about three meters, and the width was only four or five meters, only for three or four people to travel side by side.

The line had to be stretched further, forming a long straight line. In this way, those behind can't even tell what's going on in front of the line.

Zhan Chen and the others were still arranged to act as pathfinders at the forefront, and Gongsun Xiao and other cottage leaders were behind them, directing the team forward.

The forks along this section of the road have further increased, and there are even many new forks, sometimes even Gongsun Xiao has to stop and identify for a long time before he can make a judgment, and they just stop and stop, slowly advancing.

At this time, Zhan Chen made a new discovery. He felt that the color of the stone walls around him began to change, showing an unnatural reddish-purple, and it became more and more humid, and if he looked closely, he could see that some fine small water droplets were secreting from them, and the originally dry ground under his feet also began to muddy, and there was a very uncomfortable feeling to step on, and the air began to fill the air with a faint purple mist, and there was a pungent and pungent feeling in his nose when inhaled.

"This mist is a poisonous miasma, and the rocks and mud around here contain toxins!" Zhan Chen immediately realized this, glad that he had been prepared.

And the people around him were not so lucky, one by one they inhaled the poisonous gas, felt dizzy, their faces were slightly purple, their arms were paralyzed, and they couldn't use their strength. However, these trace amounts of toxins did not cause much damage to these Martial Emperor powerhouses.

At this moment, Zhan Chen heard a scream of "wow" from a person in front of him, which was like a boulder shining out of a calm lake, and almost all the people next to him jumped up, drew their weapons, looked on guard, and asked the person in front of him in a loud voice: "Is there something wrong?"

The man cried out, "Something is biting my foot!" and he lifted his foot, and saw a red centipede about a foot long, reddish all over its body, sucking blood on his foot.

"This is the Red Flame Centipede, a fifth-order high-level demon beast!" Someone immediately recognized its identity.

The "victim" was obviously enraged by this small poisonous insect, and with a single slash, he killed the insect that did not have long eyes.

However, this was only the beginning, and another person screamed "oops" and was bitten by a centipede.

"Be careful, everyone, there are poisonous insects in the ground!" someone reminded loudly.

"Not just on the ground, but on the walls, and above your headβ€”" Someone called again, but before he could finish his sentence, he let out a scream of "Ah!"

Zhan Chen took a closer look, and suddenly shuddered, it was true, the entire passage, the ground, the walls, and the top were covered with this kind of centipede, thousands, these poisonous insects with extremely low intelligence, seeing that the "prey" had broken into their territory, where was it polite, in groups, in the sky and on the ground, they launched round after round of fierce attacks on the comers.

The people in front of them all stopped, waved the weapons in their hands, and slashed and killed these unsightly guys one by one.

However, the space in the cave was too narrow, and their martial arts were restricted everywhere, and they could not be fully deployed, and in the face of the dense attacks of such a small demon beast, it was inevitable that they would have to fall into the way.

For a while, dozens of people were bitten by centipedes and retreated, and the people behind saw this, and they also took the initiative to stop and did not dare to move forward.

Seeing this, Gongsun Xiao and the other leaders asked, "The people in front, what happened, why don't you move forward?"

The dozens of people sat on the ground and replied one after another: "There are a lot of red flame centipedes in front, we can't get by!"

"Nonsense, get up for me, a few centipedes will scare you dignified Martial Emperors, get me up, keep going, or die!"

The men had to get up and keep going, but they moved more slowly, because they had to clean up the centipedes in front of them from time to time.

Suddenly, a man stopped, leaned against a nearby stone wall, and took off his boots, revealing his feet inside.

Zhan Chen, who was not far behind him, was shocked when he saw it, and there were three big bags on his foot that were bitten out by a centipede, each of which was the size of a steamed bun, and one of them was broken, and streams of purple pus and blood flowed out of it, which was extremely disgusting.

Looking at the man's face again, he was already pale at this time, his lips were purple, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and he was trembling all over, and he was obviously poisoned.

The poison of a red flame centipede can't do anything to the strong man of the Martial Emperor, but if he is bitten repeatedly by such a poison, the toxin accumulates, and even the strong man of the Martial Emperor can't bear it!

Zhan Chen hurriedly walked to his side, squatted down, and said, "You are injured and need to be detoxified immediately!" Then he took out a bottle of antidote pill from the Qiankun bag and was about to feed him.

But suddenly a question came from behind him: "What's wrong with this person?"

Zhan Chen turned his head to look, it turned out that it was Nie Wei who was asking himself behind him, so he said truthfully: "He has been poisoned by a centipede and can't walk, I want to detoxify him." ”

Nie Wei turned his head and asked the man sitting on the ground with a smile, "You can't walk?"

The man nodded, and at this moment, Nie Wei suddenly raised his sword, and a sword pierced into his heart, and the man didn't even have time to scream, he died, and blood splattered Zhan Chen's face, who was still squatting in front of him.

Zhan Chen looked at the dead victim in a daze, he never thought that it would be such a result!

I heard Nie Wei scold at the man's corpse: "Hmph, a waste, our team doesn't need to be cumbersome!" Then he said to Zhan Chen, who was still squatting on the ground motionless: "Zhan Chen, don't you want to leave quickly?!"

Zhan Chen did not move.

"Do you want to be like him?" Nie Wei asked again.

Only then did Zhan Chen stand up, his expression had returned to calm, and he couldn't see any fluctuations, and replied, "Leader, I know, I'll leave immediately." It's just that his iron fists have been clenched tightly, and before he knows it, his nails have been embedded in the flesh......

It wasn't just one person who was killed by the bandits, and then, Zhan Chen witnessed the murder of more than a dozen people, all of whom were unable to move forward because they were poisoned.

It turns out that whether it is Nie Wei, Gongsun Xiao or that Cui Yong, they will not treat them as human beings. Because Zhan Chen's newly captured group was in the eyes of Nie Wei and the others, they were themselves some consumables, stepping stones, things that were used to pave the way for their success, and they could be discarded at any time.

However, there were only a dozen dead people, and some fifth-order centipedes were not enough to stop everyone's advance, and after a while, the centipedes were almost cleaned up, and the team accelerated their march speed and continued to explore towards the depths of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.

I don't know how long they went, but they finally came to the end of this narrow passage. I felt that the surroundings suddenly became empty, and I came to a huge cave.

This cave is a hundred zhang square and more than 30 meters high, so that everyone who has just come from the cramped passage has a feeling of stretching out.

Zhan Chen looked to the opposite side, and saw eight holes of different sizes lying in front of him, which should all lead to a certain place, but he didn't know which way was the right choice, and he had to wait for further instructions from Gongsun Xiao.

After a while, people arrived at this cave one after another, and concentrated in the center, Nie Wei pointed to the entrances of the caves on the opposite side and asked, "Gongsun Lao'er, you quickly give me an idea, next, where should we go?"

Gongsun Xiao carefully identified it, then stretched out his withered fingers, pointed to the third cave on the right hand, and said, "Go to that cave." ”

"Okay, everyone listen to the alliance leader, and head to the third cave on the right-hand side!" the various village owners gave orders to their subordinates.

Just as the people were about to follow the instructions, suddenly a voice in the crowd shouted, "Look, what's that up there?!"

This reminder made many people look up, and Zhan Chen also subconsciously looked up, and there were countless spiky boulders standing above the cave, just like those stalactites in the cave.

At first glance, the slightest abnormality was found, but if you look closely, you will find that among the stalagmites, there is a huge demon beast hidden.

Its body was also red and purple, the same color as the surrounding stones, and there were huge thorns on its back, which were also the same as the stalagmites around it, and the breath exhaled was slow and steady, even the strong people of the Martial Emperor could not easily detect it.

It was precisely because there were so many people in the cave just now that everyone's attention was focused on the entrances of the caves on the opposite side, so they ignored this threat from above.

At this time, everyone looked up and began to observe it, only to find that it was also staring at the people below with its two huge giant eyes.

Zhan Chen would not admit his mistake, what was reflected from those giant eyes was a kind of greed and thirst, a kind of hungry beast staring at its prey!
