Chapter 214: The Scourge of Golems

"Boom ......"

The aftermath of the tremor gradually subsided, and the falling gravel and dust sparsely hit Mu Jianyun's body, and a mildew breath mixed with the dust raised filled his nasal cavity, choking him so much that he couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose and cough.

"Hmm...... Ahem...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......!"

Mu Jianyun struggled to get up from the ground, shook his head that was a little dazed by the shock, and looked around.

It was pitch black as far as the eye could see, and the previous firework bead seemed to have been lost in the sudden vibration. Mu Jianyun didn't know what was going on around him at the moment, but the air that was still circulating indicated that the long rock path should not be completely blocked. But what he was most worried about at this time was not this, but the man who suffered with him.

"Ahem...... Jiang Yao...... Ahem...... Jiang Yao, where are you?"

Mu Jianyun shouted nervously, and was about to look for spare fireworks beads from the dark in his pocket, when a dark purple electric light suddenly lit up not far away, and Jiang Yao's voice also sounded:

"I'm ...... here"

Mu Jianyun hurriedly turned his head to take a look, but found that Jiang Yao was sitting not far away with his head bowed at this time, leaning his back against the rock wall, covering his right arm, looking pained.

"Are you injured!?" Seeing this, Mu Jianyun's face changed, and he hurriedly limped forward to check, and sure enough, he found that Jiang Yao's right arm sleeve was oozing a large amount of blood, which seemed to have been hit by a falling rock in the concussion just now.

"Don't worry, it's just been rubbed a little, it shouldn't be a big deal......" Jiang Yao said, gritting his teeth and about to stand up, but was forced by Mu Jianyun.

"Don't rush to get up yet, if you break a bone, it's troublesome, I'll check it out." ”

Mu Jianyun frowned, reached out and took out a pale yellow bead from his pocket, and shook it vigorously. With the light of this spare firework light, the environment around the two of them was finally revealed from the darkness. I saw that there was rubble everywhere in this long rock road, but fortunately, the body of this long rock road was quite strong and did not collapse in a large area, otherwise the two of them would not have escaped the doom of being buried alive.

"Withdraw the mana, otherwise you won't be able to stop the bleeding. Mu Jianyun said, and gestured to the dark purple electric light in Jiang Yao's hand.

"That, I'm ......" Jiang Yao opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Mu Jianyun so serious, he could only swallow the words that came to his mouth, and withdrew the mana in his hand as he said. After making these preparations, Mu Jianyun carefully stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on Jiang Yao's right arm.

"How's it going?

"Shhh...... It hurts ......."

"Can you move?"

"Movement is a ...... of movement"

"If the arm can move, it means that the bone should be fine. Mu Jianyun breathed a sigh of relief and said. "At first glance, it should have been a contusion, but fortunately it didn't hurt the artery. Come, take off your coat, and I'll stop the bleeding for you. ”

Mu Jianyun said as he took off a sleeve for Jiang Yao, and then pressed the magic light that lit up in his hand on Jiang Yao's wound. Soon, Jiang Yao's injuries were controlled, and after the bleeding was stopped, Mu Jianyun tore off a piece of fabric from his clothes and carefully wrapped Jiang Yao's wounds.

"Let's deal with it briefly, and then disinfect it twice after going out, and it's not a joke if you get infected in this environment. ”

"Thank you...... By the way, are your feet okay?" Jiang Yao looked at the gauze on Mu Jianyun's ankle, which seemed to be faintly oozing blood, and now the two of them injured their legs and smashed their hands, which can really be described as difficult brothers.

"It's okay, the most important thing now is to get out quickly. Mu Jianyun said, helped Jiang Yao to stand up, and turned his head to look around through the faint light of the fireworks beads.

"Since we can still stand here, it means that the space collapse just now is not actually our area, it is likely that we were in the forest before, that is, the area on the other side of the canyon. ”

"If that's the case, then I'm afraid it's our turn to collapse next. Jiang Yao's brows furrowed. "And counting the one just now, the entire space has collapsed seven times, that is, seven hours have passed. Converted to real time, it should be 16 p.m...... This trial is going to end at nineteen p.m., right?"

"That's right, so we have less than three hours left. Mu Jianyun nodded, his face was equally solemn. "If we can't get out at that time, I'm afraid that we will be in a catastrophe, and we have to hurry. ”

"There are only three hours left, and I don't know what happened to Lu Xingyue and Bai Pheasant......" Jiang Yao sighed, looked up at Mu Jianyun beside him, and suddenly found that the other party was staring at him intently.

"What, what's wrong?" Seeing Mu Jianyun staring at him so seriously, Jiang Yao was vaguely nervous.

"Don't move. ”

Mu Jianyun didn't pay attention to Jiang Yao's nervousness, but suddenly leaned forward, slowly stretched his hand to Jiang Yao's hair, and took out a brown object the size of a fingernail.

"What's that?"

Jiang Yao looked at the object in Mu Jianyun's hand and found that this thing was in the shape of a nail piece, with a hard texture and a corrugated texture on the surface, which seemed to look like a scale, but the size and thickness were obviously not fish scales, but somewhat similar to the scales of a python.

"This thing...... Where do you seem to have seen it?" Mu Jianyun looked at the "scales" in his hand, and always felt that it seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't say it for a while, and just as he was about to look through it carefully, the "scales" in his hand moved slightly.

"......?" Mu Jianyun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at it again. Now he noticed that the "scales" were not just moving, with a rustling sound, slender limbs emerged from the edge of the "scales" at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the center of the "scales" quickly arched and cracked, revealing the four pairs of compound eyes and fangs hidden inside.

"Is this ......!?" Mu Jianyun's face changed greatly, and he shook his hand and threw out the "scales" that had mutated into strange insects! But the matter was not over, only a "pop" sound was heard, and one after another the same "scales" began to fall from above.

"What's going on!?"

Mu Jianyun and Jiang Yao hurriedly dodged the falling "scales", looked up, and found that a green fluorescence slowly appeared above the pitch-black rock road, and in the strange "creak" sound, they saw a shriveled and distorted face slowly poking out of the darkness from top to bottom.

"Hmm...... Dry corpse!?"

Jiang Yao looked at the dried corpse face in shock, and immediately remembered the demon corpses that the two of them found at the bottom of the valley, and this thing in front of him was not just as simple as a "corpse", only to see that the other party was smiling and looking down at Jiang Yao and the two, and stretched out his sharp dry claws towards them.

"Be careful!!"

"Rumbleβ€”β€”!

Hearing only a loud noise, the ground where Jiang Yao was located shattered in response to the violent impact, Jiang Yao, who had escaped with the help of Mu Jianyun, struggled to get up, and found that the dried corpse had fallen to the ground in the dust, and aimed his distorted face at Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun again.

"Squeak ......"

The crunch of rustling echoed in the long path of the rocks as the joints of the dried corpses turned. And with this strange sound, the "scale" monster insects that had fallen before turned their heads one after another, and crawled into the armor of the dried corpse in a blink of an eye;

"Oh no! This is ...... "puppet scale worm"!!"

The moment he recognized the strange insect, Mu Jianyun's face turned white, and at this time, the armored corpse roared again and pounced, seeing this, Jiang Yao hurriedly mobilized the demonic power in his body, stretched out his hand and waved it towards the corpse!

"Crackle!"

The dark purple electric light that burst out from Jiang Yao's hand accurately hit the head of the dried corpse, and instantly knocked the head out in a crisp sound, but to Jiang Yao's surprise, the dried corpse that lost its head did not pause for a moment, but accelerated and rushed forward, stretching its sharp withered claws towards Jiang Yao's chest!

"'Evil Streamer'!"

"Whoa......

With a blue sword light brushing over, the body of the dried corpse was cut in half in response, and the frightened Jiang Yao took a few steps back, turned his head to look at Mu Jianyun who drew his sword and made a move, but saw that the expression on the other party's face did not slack off at all, and he was still staring at the fallen corpse in front of him.

"Squeak...... Squeak ......

The "scale" monster insects scattered from the dried corpse under the attack slowly gathered together again, and even the fragmented dried corpse remains were also connected piece by piece under the pull of the monster insects, and once again pieced together into a complete corpse. Jiang Yao was stunned and looked at the dried corpse that had been "restarted" again after being broken, and he was already speechless in shock.

"Sure enough, it's a 'puppet scale worm'...... Now it's in trouble. Mu Jianyun gritted his teeth and stared at the dried corpse in front of him, pulling Jiang Yao back. "The worm enters the body through a wound on the body of the organism and eats the host inside. Not only that, but after the death of the host, the insect will continue to use the corpse as a nest and the host corpse as a puppet to manipulate the hunt. ”

"That means that those dried corpses outside were killed by this "puppet scale worm" and used as hunting tools?" Jiang Yao said in surprise.

"That's right, so it's useless to attack corpses, bugs are the body. ”

Mu Jianyun retreated while vigilantly observing the surroundings.

"The Golems are extremely bloodthirsty, and I'm afraid our wounds have drawn them in. What I'm most worried about now is that this "puppet scale worm" is not only in front of me, if there are "puppet scale worms" lurking everywhere in this rock tunnel, the more we stimulate our blood qi and use mana, the more "puppet scale worms" will be attracted!"

"Since you can't start fighting, there's only one way left......"

Jiang Yao looked at the dried corpse slowly rising in front of him, turned his head and glanced at Mu Jianyun.

"Run!!"
