As concocted, these beetles looked extremely clumsy, and after the first large beetle was eliminated, the second and then the third. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chirping!
When the last beetle crashed to the ground, the crowd cheered, and they did not rest, all eyes were fixed on the citrine at the entrance of the cave.
The crowd gathered around, their eyes flashing with greed, and they took out the dagger they had with them and began to dig at the mouth of the cave.
Citrine was only the size of a palm, embedded in the ground, and everyone carefully dug around, and when they dug it out, a yellow crystal the size of a fist was revealed.
This crystal is priceless, and if it is sold in the town, it can be exchanged for more than a dozen taels of silver.
"One, two, three," one person counted excitedly, "It's haired, six crystals, can be sold for nearly a hundred taels of silver." ”
Everyone counted citrine excitedly, and soon, they turned their eyes to the dark hole, looking inside, there was silence, Liu Xuan looked at them silently, he could feel the signs of life inside, and it was not three or two.
"There must be more in there." Everyone had such thoughts in their hearts, and when they looked at each other, they could see their excited looks.
"Maybe there's beetles in there, can we really go down?" Zhao Fan hesitated for a moment and spoke.
The middle-aged man, that is, the captain, glanced at him and said, "Brother, when you come out to explore, you must have the consciousness of not being afraid of death, now that the treasure is in front of you, there is no reason to give up, in case we encounter a monster, we can run out again." ”
"yes, you're an adult, don't you have the guts to do that?"
"When we get enough crystals this time, we will be rich when we go back, and we will have women's houses."
"Yes, for the sake of my future life, I'm still afraid of Mao."
...
They are all from the past, and the words suddenly made Zhao Fan speechless, Liu Xuan did not speak, nor did he deny it, he had no concept of death, because he was a living dead man.
After making a decision, the captain took the lead and walked down, and the others did not hesitate, clenched the sword and axe in their hands, and carefully followed.
The entrance of the cave is very large, enough for four or five people to walk side by side, it is extended downward, when it reaches more than ten meters below, the eyes suddenly widen, everyone looks, this is an underground fork of nearly 100 square meters, and there are four or five other holes not far away.
Obviously, the holes were not dug by hand, they were all arched by the beetles.
So far, I haven't encountered any other beetles.
The crowd did not separate, but chose a hole and continued to walk downward, it was very dark inside, but they could also vaguely see the surrounding scene.
I don't know how many curves I turned with the twists and turns of the cave, and every time I walked a section, a curve soon became two, two became four, five, and everyone was worried that they would get lost, so they could only mark it at the entrance of the cave.
"There's light ahead!" I have to say that they are extremely lucky, they have not encountered danger until now, I don't know how long they have been gone, only that they have been stretching downward.
When they rounded a bend again, there was a red and blue light flashing in the distance, which made everyone happy, and they hurriedly ran over, and the bend in front of them became narrower and narrower, and a small hole like a window in front of them was revealed.
When they ran to the 'window' and looked down, their eyes widened in shock as there were flashes of red, blue, and yellow crystals below, all underneath.
The bend broke off at this point, and below it was a huge nest-like room, thousands of square meters, and in that nest room, there were several crystals embedded in the walls every few meters, and next to the crystals there were egg-like things, and some rotting limbs, black fur, and green liquid.
At this moment, a huge beetle walked in, and it circled the room, and stayed next to each egg for a while, making a squeaking sound from its mouth, and after ten minutes, it left the room again.
"See, these beetles are stupid, as long as we find the rules, we won't bother them, the opportunity has come." The captain whispered, "Fix the rope and go down quietly." ”
Obviously, God was on their side, and everyone began to prepare excitedly, smashing large iron vertebrae at the entrance of the hole, tying ropes, and lowering them, which were seven or eight meters high from the floor of the nest room.
"Here we are." And at this moment, Liu Xuan frowned and said coldly.
Everyone was startled and looked towards the entrance of the cave, and sure enough, a huge beetle slowly walked in, seeing this scene, everyone held their breath, and half of the people who had already descended were hanging on the rope, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
The beetle slowly circled below them, as if it hadn't seen them, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it was clear that the bug was not ordinary clumsy, either by sight or smell.
When the beetle left the room again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and did not dare to slack off, and fell down one after another.
After everyone arrived on the ground, they began to excitedly take out various tools, and carefully dug up, these crystals are all treasures, and when they dig one, they are more than a dozen taels of silver, and they are the same as those picked up for nothing.
Liu Xuan also fell down the rope, and under the subtle induction, the beetles around him were still far from here, and they were still safe for the time being, and looked at the egg-sized eggs that fell around him, these should be the children of the beetles.
All eyes were on the crystals, and each time they dug one down, they were excited, and one by one they put it in their arms and bags.
"Haha, it's been sent..."Not far away, a middle-aged man was digging for the red crystal while muttering quietly, and suddenly, his expression was stunned, and a tingling pain came from his feet.
When he looked around, a palm-sized insect was gnawing on his foot, and the egg shell next to it was broken, and it was obvious that the small beetle was the larva that had just come out.
"MD, that's disgusting." The man's expression was cold, and he used his knife to remove the beetle, and the beetle flipped to the ground, revealing ten pink calves, swinging in the air, and making a sizzling sound in its mouth.
The man looked at it, showed a look of disgust, and with a knife in his hand, he directly stuck it on the ground, penetrating its body, and suddenly green blood flowed out.
After doing all this, the man continued to dig up, and the poor beetle was pierced through its body, struggling with it, apparently not dead instantly.
The eggs around slowly shattered, and the small white beetles broke out of their shells one after another, and they instinctively crawled towards people, until then people found that these more and more beetles, they were looking for food.
