Chapter 269: Crisis

Everything was quiet, the square was still empty, everyone was still looking for a possible clue, and nothing had changed.

Lu Xiao didn't expect this kind of situation, the page in his hand was obviously the key to open this mechanism, and when he entered the square just now, the page in his arms also reacted, exuding a strong burning feeling, but why didn't the entire square react at all?

Lu Xiao was puzzled, just standing alone in the middle of the square, constantly thinking.

But at this moment, everyone, including Lu Xiao, stopped looking for the mechanism in their hands, and focused their eyes on a gate that was the same height as when they came out, but opposite.

Because at this time, there was a scream from inside the gate.

"Help!"

"Don't! I don't want to die here, I ...... Yes! ”

"Help! I want my mom ......."

Hearing this miserable howl, everyone's hearts sank, and they all gathered together as a family unit as fast as they could. Then he fixed all his attention on the gate, wondering who was the source of that scream?

At this time, Lu Xiao's heart was also puzzled, although he did not have the ability to build the Nine Heavens Star Formation, but he was still very clear about the operation of the Nine Heavens Star Formation and some key issues of the main formation.

Lu Xiao knew very well that with the situation just now, when the Xuanyin period was about to pass, except for the people of the three major families, it was impossible for the Xuanyuan clan and the Song family brothers to come here at all. But at this time, from that scream, Lu Xiao, who had a keen sense of hearing, clearly heard a familiar voice, which was the howl of pig teammate Xuanyuan Ping.

This made Lu Xiao puzzled, he obviously locked them outside the treasure land, how did they get in, and what could make Xuanyuan Ping and some other people so miserable.

The voices were getting closer, the screams were getting less and less, and everyone's nerves were getting tighter.

Everyone held their breath, tightened the various cold weapons in their hands, and stared at the swarthy hole with their eyes full of worry.

With a "whoosh", the first person finally rushed out of it.

Everyone looked at it, it was a fat monk in a monk's robe. However, at this time, his face was covered in mud and blood, and he looked unusually embarrassed.

Others don't know him, but Lu Xiao and Long Tianxiang and others do, and he is the Maitreya who was arranged behind him by Lu Xiao.

Seeing Maitreya like this, Lu Xiao hurriedly greeted him and asked with concern: "Maitreya!" What's going on? ”

Maitreya has been racing against time, running wildly with his life, and when he finally saw his own person, Maitreya howled directly, "Uncle! They bully people! Even small locusts bully people! ”

Originally, Maitreya was Lu Xiao's hand, but what Maitreya didn't expect was that Xuanyuan Ping's mistake actually created a new channel. So, Maitreya followed behind the Xuanyuan clan and the Song brothers, and entered the treasure land through the newly appeared passage.

Xuanyuan Ping is really a veritable pig teammate, and his luck is very bad, he actually stepped on a trap. Not only did he kill two of his people on the spot, but he also released hundreds of millions of locusts.

In this way, Maitreya, who was originally following behind, directly began his escape journey.

After listening to Maitreya's explanation, everyone suddenly realized, but their hearts were heavy.

If it is simply the people of the Xuanyuan clan who discovered Maitreya and then attacked him, this is understandable. However, it is very worrying that there are hundreds of millions of locusts in the middle of this period.

Especially Lu Xiao, when he heard that there was another way in the eyes of the main formation of the Nine Heavens Star Formation when he entered the treasure land, that is, the Nine Heavens Star Formation, the whole person was a little stunned.

Lu Xiao, who has been practicing the Heavenly Machine Book since he was a child, has never found any incorrect information in the Heavenly Machine Book. And the Nine Heavens Star Formation, one of the major formations, had never heard of another passage into the main formation. Because this is not just a so-called treasure place, it should be said that the senior of the hidden clan put the treasure here where he felt it was foolproof.

The main formation eye of the Nine Heavens Star Formation is his foundation!

The main formation is based on the corresponding stars in the sky, and even a small mistake will lead to the failure of the formation construction. But this large array has been running for more than a thousand years without being discovered by others, and it is obviously a successful formation.

However, such a successful formation actually had a secret passage leading to the main formation eye that had never been recorded in the Book of Heavenly Machines, which made Lu Xiao feel unbelievable.

Is it because the feng shui attainments of the person who transformed the Nine Heavens Star Formation are too superb, or is there something wrong with the things recorded in the Book of Heavenly Machines itself? Lu Xiao felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Just as Lu Xiao was thinking about this matter, a few more people ran out of the hole that Maitreya had just escaped.

Among them, the Xuanyuan clan led by Xuanyuan Si, there are only six people left at this time, as for the people who did not come out of the cave with them, whether they died or escaped, it is not what Lu Xiao and they know.

The two brothers of the Song family are still there, but half of Song Que's body is already covered with blood, and he looks extremely haggard.

They didn't stop when they just ran out, and continued to run forward without even saying hello. However, the people of the Xuanyuan clan looked at Maitreya as if they were going to swallow him.

"Maitreya! Do you have something to hide from us? ”

Seeing their gaze at Maitreya, Lu Xiao snorted casually.

If it was really as Maitreya said, it was just that Xuanyuan Ping's pig teammate stepped on the mechanism, and Maitreya was hit by the pond fish and ran out, the other party would not look at her with that kind of look that teared him alive.

"Hey, hey! Uncle Mingjian! ”

Maitreya looked a little embarrassed and took out a yellow bead from his bosom, which still exuded a faint halo, but the light was extremely dim.

"Relic?"

Seeing the beads in Maitreya's hand, Long Xiaoyun was a little surprised.

"It's the relics."

Maitreya said it very formally, and then looked at Lu Xiao with pitiful eyes, "Uncle Shi! Your old man won't ask for something from a junior, right? ”

Knowing that he wouldn't want it, Maitreya wanted to gag here and wanted to confuse the matter, Lu Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to him, just stared at him coldly with cold eyes, and Maitreya was furious.

"Okay, Uncle Shi, don't look at me with that kind of look anymore, I can't do it all." Looking at Lu Xiao's cold eyes, Maitreya hurriedly raised his hand in surrender and explained what happened.

It is true that Xuanyuan Ping stepped on the mechanism and killed several clansmen, but Xuanyuan Ping did not mean it, it was this kid who found this relic by chance and wanted to add a small treasure to the clan, which touched the mechanism.

However, in the process of escaping, Maitreya took the relic from Xuanyuan Ping's arms while everyone was defending against locusts, and took the relic from Xuanyuan Ping's arms.

After listening to Maitreya's words, everyone looked like I didn't know him, and they turned away from him in an instant.

Although the people of the Xuanyuan clan are not very good, but this relic was exchanged for their lives, but at this time, they were taken by you, a fat monk, and of course their eyes on Maitreya will not be good!

However, before everyone could denounce Maitreya, there was no longer a sound of shouting for help in the passage they had just run out, but instead there was a humming sound that looked like the rotation of a helicopter propeller.

Except for the people of the Xuanyuan clan and the Song family who knew that there were a large group of locusts, except for Lu Xiao and others, who were mentally prepared, everyone who was still in the square for unknown reasons was all stunned by the scene in front of them.

From the hole where Maitreya and the others had just escaped, countless oversized locusts flew out, covering the sky and the sun in an instant, filling the top of this huge room.

The locusts that people generally know are about four centimeters to seven centimeters long, and can grow to about ten centimeters in the tropics, but the hundreds of millions of locusts in front of everyone have subverted their cognition.

Each of these locusts weighed more than thirty centimeters, and the protruding parts of their upper and lower jaws were actually like those of carnivores, and they appeared to have extremely sharp teeth, rather than insectoid mouthparts.

This time, the people who entered this treasure hunt in this treasure land, except for Zhang Tingting, were all martial arts masters. However, even Long Tianxiang, who was recognized as the strongest, felt a tingling in his scalp at this time. Looking at the sharp teeth of their upper and lower jaws, which could no longer be called mouthparts, and imagining that they were biting on their own bodies, Long Tianxiang shivered all over.

Zhang Tingting and Long Xiaoyun, who like to play with insects, both had a feeling of shock when they saw the so-called locusts in Maitreya's mouth. Especially Long Xiaoyun, who directly grabbed Maitreya's collar, was a little stunned and asked again, "This is what you call locusts?" ”

Facing the domineering Long Xiaoyun, Maitreya nodded obediently.

The people of the Xuanyuan clan, who were still running for their lives just now, also stopped their escape. There are so many locusts that they are so fast that even if they escape into other caves that look like gates, they will be blocked by these locusts, and there will be no bones left, and who knows what lies behind those gates?

On the contrary, there are many human companions in this huge square, and maybe some people can find a way out, and everyone can have a glimmer of hope for life.

"I don't want treasures, I want to live, I want to live!" They think so, but some people don't. At this time, some people couldn't bear the pressure of the mutated locusts that covered the sky and the sun, and they rushed towards the hole closer to him with a howl, trying to escape for their lives.

However, as soon as these people moved, the locusts that covered the sky seemed to sense something, and all rushed towards the few who fled, drowning them in an instant......
