Chapter 44: Caught in the Crab Tide
It's much warmer than outside, giving you the feeling of late spring and early summer, and it's perfect for crab activity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The cavern space is roughly quadrangular in shape, and the exit of the tunnel is located five feet above the "ground" inside.
They jumped down with their waists, and suddenly there was a "click" sound, crushing many crabs on the ground.
They looked at the empty space, which was about two feet high, so that they couldn't see the specific area of the space because the light was not very good.
There are many plants like moss, grass, and wildflowers on the ground of this space, and strangely, they all seem to glow.
Even if you look closely, you can see wisps of mist-like shimmering matter rising into the air.
It was through this glimmer of light that they could roughly see the situation in the space.
"This ...... Could it be the legendary suspended biological light!" Zishang was surprised.
He had only seen sporadic brief introductions in ancient books, but he didn't expect to see them here today.
"Suspended ...... What is that?" asked Baili Cat, confused.
Zishang's eyes flashed with a divine light, and he replied, "It is the glimmer of light emitted by the active particles released by certain plants in a dark environment. ”
There is a little record of this phenomenon in "Tiankeng Crack", which is said to have been encountered by the author when he went deep into the bottom of a 400-zhang sinkhole. ”
Later, he had seen faint suspended biolight in several crevices in sinkholes more than 300 zhang deep. ”
Baili Hu's eyes widened, he looked at Zishang in surprise, and said, "It's amazing my brother, how do you know so much?"
Zishang shrugged his shoulders, he was not very diligent before the Immortal Cave incident.
Sometimes it was too hot or too cold, or when he was tired from practicing, he would find an opportunity to be lazy and sneak into the family library to read.
It is not a martial arts cheat book or the principle of luck, but just some strange wild history and anecdotes.
Because those books were brought out from the former royal family, the records were comprehensive and detailed, and Zishang read them over and over again, although he had been staying in Shigu Village, he knew many "secrets" in the land of Shenzhou.
In addition to the suspended biolight, the other plants in this space are also ancient and primitive. It bears a resemblance to the scenes described in the legends of the depths of the earth.
Soon, though, their attention shifted to the dense crabs on the ground.
There were quite a few crabs under their feet, but through the glimmer, they found that most of the crabs were mainly clustered in the central area of the space, and there was a noisy, harsh sound coming from there.
Seems to be ...... Dig!
Even the other crabs scattered around seem to be digging with crab claws.
Although it was very difficult for the crabs to carry out this project, under the "diligent efforts" of tens of thousands of crab troops, the results were still considerable.
The middle area is noticeably concave a lot.
It didn't take long for them to turn their attention to their feet.
In just two or three breaths, the calves of the nine of them were "wrapped" by more than 100 crabs, and they were deeply "trapped" in the "swamp" of crabs.
The ant tide is terrible, and the crab tide is equally terrifying!
"There are too many crabs in this way!" exclaimed.
Da-da-da-da!
Despite the chaos and noise of the place, they heard this sound that was distinctly different from the others.
They swept the crabs off their feet with swords or daggers, and then looked left and right.
"Attention! Something is approaching!"
Everyone vaguely guessed that the person who came might be the blue-shelled crab that embarrassed Zishang and others.
Soon, they came into everyone's field of vision, and thousands of blue-shelled crabs stepped on the shells of ordinary crabs and rushed over in a domineering manner.
"Huh?" Baili Cat was suddenly stunned, looked around, and asked suspiciously, "Did you hear any strange sounds?"
Baili Hu replied while fiddling with the crab: "The sounds here are all strange, noisy and chaotic. ”
Baili Lion lowered his head and groaned, listened carefully for a while, and said, "No." What do you hear?"
“……”
Baili Cat closed his eyes and listened, and although the surrounding sounds were noisy, he still faintly heard a very low frequency sound.
The blue-shelled crabs had already approached them, and several of them were armed with swords, sweeping out a vacuum area.
"What are we going to do now?" Zishang turned around and asked, "Keep going and exploring?"
Baili Cat opened his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Explore, it's all come to this point." ”
"Okay!" Zishang nodded, "Let's move forward." ”
As he spoke, the nine of them walked forward while carefully cleaning the crabs, and all the blue-shell crabs were killed when they encountered them.
Ordinary crabs can't hurt them, but if they are caught by the big pincers of the blue-shelled crabs, they can feel pain, so they can't be spared.
However, there are too many crabs here, and after walking more than 20 steps, more than 200 blue-shell crabs were smashed.
At this time, they gradually approached the central pit, and the crabs in it suddenly became agitated, and hundreds of red giant crabs jumped out, a pair of small eyes bulging out, staring at the nine outsiders.
Unlike other crabs, these red crabs can go straight, not as fast as they go sideways, but not too slowly.
The nine of them were all concentrated and did not dare to be careless.
As you can see from the size, this crab is definitely much stronger than the green shell crab.
These red crabs, which were bigger than watermelons, slowly approached the nine people, faintly in a semi-encircled shape, and around them, the blue-shelled crabs and ordinary crabs all got out of the way and closed from behind.
Zishang snorted coldly and took the lead in rushing over to test it.
"Styx Waves!"
He slapped like a wave towards the red crabs, and the crabs were not slow, dodging sideways, and in the blink of an eye, they parted ways.
The blow missed, Zishang was slightly surprised, and then swung his sword again, wave after wave, wave after wave.
Although the red crab was much stronger than the green shell crab and the ordinary crab, in the face of Zishang's fierce attack, more than a dozen of them were still chopped.
There are only a dozen of them......
Cha!
A large crab of a red giant crab pierced Zishang's calf, and the other crab claw took advantage of the situation and tore it open.
"Shhh
Zishang gasped and forcibly changed his sword move, and after Zhanchen Sword shook his foot, the red giant crab was directly split from the middle.
And its crab claw tore out the wound on Zishang's foot because of this sword, making him tremble for a while, and was forced to temporarily stop the attack.
Taking advantage of the moment Zishang stopped, dozens of red giant crabs swarmed up, which caught him a little off guard, and he had to endure the pain in his leg and continue to swing his sword to resist.
The two brothers, Baili Daxiong and Erxiong, took over from Zishang and blocked the attack of the Red Shell Cancer.
"Be careful! This red-shelled crab has a trace amount of fire poison on its claws. Although it is not too troublesome, it will feel pain and affect the battle. Zishang reminded.
Because Baili and the others commonly use spears, but the environment here is not suitable for long weapons to fight, so they use ordinary knives and swords, and they are originally more cautious, and they are even more careful after listening to Zishang's reminder at this time.
Zishang took out some gold sore medicine from the storage ring and hastily applied it to the wound.
The "crab wall" piled up three or four feet high behind it was temporarily resisted by Baili leopards, eagles, and crocodiles, and the Baili cat, lion, and tiger pulled out to help clean up the red-shelled giant crabs.
Although the Red Shell Crab was a little intelligent and a little difficult, under the careful handling of the five Qi Refining Realms, only the Hundred Miles Bear was sneak attacked, and there was no big problem.
However, it seems that the strength of these invaders is extraordinary, and after more than 60 red-shell crabs were chopped up, nearly 200 red-shell crabs and nearly 1,000 green-shell crabs gushed out of the central depression.
In this way, the pressure increased sharply, and several people originally cleared out the vacuum area of two zhang square, but now the oppressed ones shrank to one zhang.
Nine people huddled in small places, waving weapons in their hands.
For the first time, Zishang felt the horror of the "crab sea tactic".
Although it is mainly composed of ordinary crabs, which are almost vulnerable, tens of thousands of crabs are really numb.
The light in the empty space is not very strong, otherwise you would be frightened without a phobia of density.
And they want to be in the mud now, every time they wield their weapons, they feel a lot of resistance, and if they continue like this, they will have to die of exhaustion.
Thundered!
Once again, the powerful move was used, and the "Crab Wall" was once again "knocked down".
However, with the reinforcement of more than 10,000 crabs, the "collapsed" "crab wall" was quickly "built". And because they are piled up on a large number of corpses of the same kind, they are taller and slightly compress their activity area.
In front, more than 200 red-shelled crabs were even more difficult, and five people including Baili Cat were sawing back and forth in a short distance, and several people were almost injured by sneak attacks many times.
"Damn! I can't bear it!"
Zishang wiped off the crab roe splashed on his face, his eyes widened angrily, and he took out another metal iron ball from the storage ring!
"Hiss~"
Baili Leopard and the others still have a fresh memory of this thing, after this thing explodes, it can pose a certain threat to the high-level Qi Refining Realm.
And this thing is very precious, it is the hole card weapon of the sub-merchant, even if he was born into the declining royal family, there are only ten.
The explosive substance is said to have appeared in the Yanhuang period, but no one has figured out its specific composition, including no mention in the history books.
Therefore, these rare explosive substances are obtained by a series of coincidences and cannot be mass-produced, so they are extremely valuable.
Originally, King Wu Geng gave Zishang these things to him as life-saving cards, but who knew that Zishang was so "wasteful", and he used up two not long after he went out.
Now that it's not a life-threatening time, he's going to use a third.
With a slight aim, he flung the precious metal explosion ball towards the large central crater five feet away.
Then he quickly took out all the thirty or forty fire folds from the storage ring, lit them all at once, and threw them all together.
The huge fireball fell into the pitch-black pit, and the crab at the edge of the crater was agitated by the sudden appearance of the fireball, and it took two breaths for the fireball to catch up with the metal blast ball.
Under the high temperature, the explosive material in the metal ball exploded!
Boom!
No less than 500 crabs were blown up, regardless of the green shell or the red shell, all of them were killed in seconds in front of the explosive substance!
The crabs at the edge of the pit were also swept away by the air waves, and the crabs in the pit were either smashed and "nailed" into the inner wall, or were shaken to the bottom of the pit.
Da-da-da-da!
A strange sound came from the pit, all the crabs stopped, and the nine people looked at the central pit suspiciously.
"That's it! an enhanced version of the strange voice I had vaguely heard before!" exclaimed Baili Cat.
Bang!
A dark red figure jumped out of the pit!
The monster's body was not much bigger than a fat pig, its eight slender legs were different from other crabs, it was more like spider legs, and the two big claws were even bigger and frightening, so it was not a problem to clamp ordinary people or low-level body refining realm martial artists.
Everyone was startled, and their hearts were extremely solemn.
Zishang said stupidly: "The crab is too big, it's not cooked......
