Chapter 67: The Adventures of Five Men (2)
Chen Kai didn't really go far when the shouts sounded, and naturally they heard the cries of Chen Chong and the others. It's just that they didn't choose to go back to check, but without hesitation, they accelerated their pace and rushed towards the depths of the unknown cave.
"Boss! Don't we need to go back and see? Hu Lansi couldn't help but glance back at the faint screams in his ears, but because of the distance and the limited light created by the luminous mushrooms in the underground space, he couldn't see anything at all.
"Look at what? Looking for death? Come on! I don't want to die again! Chen Kai did not hesitate to veto Hu Lansi's suggestion, and now he was in a weak state, even if his body was full and he felt out of breath even if he ran for a while. He didn't have the strength to fight against any high-level monsters at the moment, and the screams coming from behind him would definitely not be a small monster. Sure, it might be small monsters, but it's either sheer enough to overwhelm hundreds of players, or so terrifying that these guys can't resist.
Hearing Chen Kai's words, Hu Lansi didn't say anything more, and the screams from behind him also reminded him that too much curiosity was fatal. So he didn't hesitate to follow his footsteps, and hurried towards the depths of the cave.
However, Chen Kai and the others didn't run far, they only ran for about two or three minutes and began to look for a place to hide around. Very lucky, the group only touched it for less than half a minute before they found a small cave that could be avoided, although this cave was a little narrower for Chen Kai, so it was quite twisted for five people to squeeze into the narrow cave.
"Boss! Next time, please ask He Liwen to do some shrinking scrolls! Please!! Hu Lansi, whose head was a little deformed by Chen Kai's squeaky socket, felt that he was almost unable to breathe, but his mouth was quickly covered by Guan Yu's palm, and he could only make a whining sound. But soon Hu Lansi was completely quiet, of course, not fainted by stuffiness, but everyone was quiet at the moment, holding their breath.
Not far from them, hundreds of dark force players who had wanted to hunt them down were now crying and shouting for their mothers, and behind them, with the help of the dim light, Chen Kai, they could see a huge scorpion running wildly with its own limbs and feet, chasing and killing these players. Far greater than the evil Sabenin, the pincers flew in the air, and as long as they were caught by these pincers, it would basically be a qiē halve. As for being stabbed by a scorpion's venomous hook, it is even more needless to say. The whole person instantly dissolved into a yellow liquid, slowly melting into the ground like mud.
The crying player and the huge scorpion slowly passed in front of them, but the people hiding in the cave did not breathe a sigh of relief, but instead made them see an even more terrifying scene with the help of the glowing fungus. Soon after the huge scorpion passed through Guò, a black carpet slowly appeared on the ground, and after looking closely, it was found that there were thousands or even tens of thousands of small scorpions. Where these scorpions passed, the player's corpse quickly turned into a white bone with no flesh left, and this qiē was only an instantaneous occurrence.
Looking at this terrifying scene, even Chen Kai felt his scalp tingle for a while. He can fight against powerful monsters, but there is nothing he can do about these dense army of scorpions, and his fighting spirit may not be able to shock the lives of these scorpions. Their movement speed was definitely enough to pierce Chen Kai's body before his greatsword swept through him. Chen Kai then had to let these scorpions be slaughtered and eaten alive before the toxin completely killed him. As soon as he thought of this, his scalp was a little numb, and the sound of the scorpions crawling in his ears was infinitely amplified.
Fortunately, the sound that made his scalp tingle passed quickly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the incomparably clean ground in the underground space outside the cave, and then they fell out of the crowded cave with a bang. The cramped cavern was actually crammed into a maximum of three people, but this time it was five people. So when he came out, he directly turned into a rolling gourd, and the five big men fell together. Luckily, they stuffed all their gear into their backpacks when they squeezed into the cave, otherwise they would have been injured if the metal gear bumped into each other.
"Boss! That's right! You really should ask Sister Wenwen to prepare some shrinking scrolls! If you encounter this situation next time, your size will take up too much area" Fei Yuan rubbed his neck, just now he shrunk all the places that could shrink his body. Now I feel a little sore all over my body.
"Do you think it's comfortable to use shrinking? Damn it! Every time I was used by Wenzi's girl to shrink, I felt like I was on the execution ground! The bones in the whole body shrank little by little like pins, and this feeling hurts when I think about it now! However, although Chen Kai said this, he still took out the shrinking scroll made by He Liwen from his backpack, but when he wanted to use it, he remembered that it would be wasted if he used it now, which would make his already weak body combat power even lower.
"Let's go! It wouldn't be nice if that big scorpion came back! "Watching Chen Kai put the shrinking scroll away. Su Xinghe knew that Chen Kai wasn't going to try that terrible feeling now. In fact, Su Xinghe has also experienced the feeling of being shrunk, and that kind of pain is definitely not as comfortable as it appears on the outside. At the same time, releasing a pure spell-type shrinking technique is far more comfortable than making a zuò shrinking potion, at least Su Xinghe couldn't help but tremble all over his body and wanted to spit it out when he thought of the configuration scene of the shrinking potion in his mind.
In fact, all the people who have seen He Liwen prepare potions think that the profession of wizard should never let girls go to work, because if they get married in the future, men will never let women who have worked as witches enter the kitchen. Because now He Liwen is forbidden to touch Chen Kai's rice pot. She is the only one among the girls who doesn't need to cook, even Chen Kai and the other men don't have such treatment.
"But then again, if Wenzi sees these scorpions, will she think about catching some and going back to use them as medicinal herbs!" Chen Kai looked at the dark cave, and then couldn't help but say.
"Boss! Don't forget that you've eaten roasted scorpions. Why don't you say if you want to catch some and go back as ingredients! Hu Lansi naturally heard about Chen Kai eating scorpions and then vomiting, and these scorpions were obviously easy to evoke Chen Kai's bad memories, so Hu Lansi's head was smashed by Chen Kai's fist.
"Don't talk too much! Guan Lao Di puts on his pants! It's time for us to go! Su Xinghe said to everyone, Chen Kai's body was in a weak state, so the matter of exploring the road could only let Su Xinghe and Guan Yu take the lead.
"What do you mean by putting on your pants! It's leggings! Gaiters! Don't call me a hooligan, okay! Guan Yu put on his spare leggings, hid his furry thighs in the metal leggings, and slowly walked behind Su Xinghe.
Chen Kai and the others did not choose the direction in which those players fled, because this choice was to find death if they were not careful. God knows if that gigantic scorpion will crawl back from there. As for the original place, they will not go back. Because everyone in the group felt that it might be a scorpion's lair, a large number of accumulated bones would form a graveyard, and they were unfortunate enough to be resurrected to such a place. This is not uncommon in the game, every day there are unlucky players who die in the wild and are resurrected to a boss's lair, and there is even an unlucky egg who appears in different monster lair after death seven or eight times in a row.
The boss's lair is not a good place, so far no lucky guy has been able to escape from the monster's lair alive with treasures, of course, low-level monsters are not among them, and the same low-level monsters do not have the strength to pile up bones in the graveyard. Thinking of the accumulation of bones in the cave before, everyone did not hesitate to give up the way back, and turned to find other cave entrances in the underground world.
"If only the zodiac were there!" This was the thought that came to Chen Kai's mind when they withdrew from a dead-end cave for the third time, because as long as the earth elemental mage of the zodiac was there, then they could rely on the other party to use spells to dig into the ground. As long as luck isn't so bad. There will always be a way to the surface, instead of spending half a day and not even finding the right way.
"But then again, I don't know if Xu Fei and they escaped?" Cautiously looking at the bright environment in the cave, Su Xinghe asked Chen Kai behind him.
"Just contacted them and nothing for now! Retreating with that pig towards the town of Asu! As soon as Chen Kai thought of this, he had to admire the survivability of Lord Yaborah, a wild boar, several of them who were so strong in combat power had hung up, but this scum with only five combat strength survived and was still very nourishing. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but clench the hilt of his sword, and then began to draw circles and curse the other party.
Of course, Chen Kai is not just cursing in circles, but making marks. After all, there are more than a dozen openings leading to other places in this cave, and there may be forks in the road after walking a certain distance. So Chen Kai carved a few circles on the rock wall, cursing and marking them so as not to make a fork in the road when exploring.
"Which way to go now?" Guan Yu looked at the three caves in front of him and asked the people behind him. It's just that everyone is a little undecided in the face of the three holes that look similar, after all, they have been wandering in this underground world for nearly seven or eight hours. If it weren't for the large amount of food in my backpack, I would have been worrying about food and water by now.
"Throw a branch!" After struggling for a long time, Chen Kai and the others finally chose this unreliable method. No matter how much they tried, they found that there would be a faint wind passing through the three holes. In fact, this is where these underground caverns are pitted, and so are the dead ends before, where the wind is always blowing but it is just a thin crevice. After digging for a long time, I found that the gap was still a gap, and I couldn't see the passage at all. Eventually had to abandon that path.
After throwing branches three times in a row, Chen Kai and the others finally decided to start exploring from the cave on the side, but before Chen Kai stepped into the cave, he heard the sound of people talking from the cave. In this underground world, what Chen Kai and they most hope to meet is definitely an adventurer who enters the wasteland to explore. But there is no doubt that there are absolutely no adventurers here, and if there were, there should have been human bones in the sand where they were resurrected, but unfortunately the graveyard was formed by the remains of animals.
"Shhhhh Chen Kai slowly put his fingers on his mouth and made a silent motion, and then slowly held his giant sword. They knew very well that the so-called humans in this underground world would have nothing other than those dark force players who had been resurrected, Chen Kai didn't think that they could cooperate sincerely with each other, if the two groups of people met, then there could only be one result, that is, you lived or died.
"Do you think we've been moldy for eight lifetimes this time! I even gave the whole place to this place! Damn it! I've been walking for seven or eight hours and haven't even seen an exit, and most of the time I'm still walking around in place! Player A held up the torch and said, there are not many glowing bacteria in the dark passage, so even Chen Kai and they need to hold the torch to see the road clearly. Of course to save a torch, when sight is possible. Chen Kai: They all chose to extinguish the torch. That's why these players didn't notice them, otherwise it wouldn't be the turn of the crowd behind the walls to sneak up on them.
"Not really! The most unlucky thing is that Hall Master Chen, they are still fighting fiercely! What's going on with this TMD! This time the loss is so big, if you are trapped in this place where birds don't again, there is really no place to cry! Player B shook his head and said, but the next moment his shaking head stopped completely, as a greatsword swept directly over his skull, and the scarlet blood mixed with the white brains instantly stunned several players standing behind him.
"Enemy attack!!" Player A, who raised his weapon high, roared loudly, but unfortunately his head was directly slashed off by Guan Yu's Judgment Blade after he finished speaking. The head flying in the air still kept its mouth open, and when it hit the ground, he seemed to want to say something.
A dozen players in the tunnel were killed by Chen Kai and them in less than a minute, and some of them lost their lives before they could even pull their weapons out of the scabbard at their waists. Looking at the corpses of these players, Chen Kai directly drew his weapon and drew a circle at the exit of the passage.
"Let's go! Let's change the channel! They've definitely explored the passage here! But that saves us a lot of things. Chen Kai picked up the gold coins and other things that could be used by these players underground. Then he didn't hesitate to turn around and change the channel.
"Boss! We don't need to clean them up? Hulans couldn't help but ask when he looked at the corpses in the passage, especially the one with a flattened eyeball at his feet, of course, he was not afraid but felt that if the corpse was placed in the passage, it would attract monsters in the underground world.
"Not available! We're going to hurry! This time I was lucky enough to only run into a dozen, and if I was unlucky next time I ran into a bunch of them, it is estimated that we will be the ones who will collect the corpses! Su Xinghe pushed behind him, and then a group of five people rushed to the side of the passage.
Not long after Chen Kai and the others disappeared into the passage, dozens of surviving dark force players came here, and they naturally saw the corpses of players on the ground that had not completely disappeared. So after entering the passage, they chose to pull out their weapons for the first time, but after searching around, they didn't find any trace of Chen Kai, but only saw the circles carved on the wall.
"Let's go~! Catch up!! These guys certainly haven't gone far!! "The players were running fast. Then they quickly froze, because after coming out of the passage, they saw three identical caves, and these three caves were none other than the circle with Chen Kai behind them.
"How do you chase it now?" Looking at the unmarked caves, all players are still sweating on their heads. In such a situation, they did not dare to chase separately at all. Because if they separate, even if they catch up with Chen Kai, they will be sent to death. But if they don't separate, then there is only a one-in-three chance of catching up with Chen Kai and them, and this is still based on the fact that the cave tracked is not forked.
"Forget it! Inform Hall Master Chen! Sue sù him, we seem to have met Chen Kai and a few of them! The guy who was obviously the player's little boss shook his head, he knew very well that it would be difficult for them to catch up with Chen Kai in this labyrinth-like underground world. Unless you happen to encounter it, you may not encounter it for the rest of your life.
They didn't know about these things running wildly in the passage of Chen Kai. Of course, after going deep into this cave, Chen Kai felt that he might have found the right path, because they had been running wild on this path for nearly five minutes and had not encountered a fork in the road. The most important thing is that the cave seems to be going up, and in order to prove this, Chen Kai made a simple experiment with running water, watching the water flow towards the rear.
It's just that Chen Kai and the others haven't been excited for long and have begun to enter the long trek. Although the long underground passage has no forks, it still winds and undulates without many straight roads. What made Chen Kai feel most depressed was the extremely narrow places on the passage, and for ordinary people, there were still a little narrow gaps, which were simply painful places like meat sandwiches for him. Even if he used the Shrinking Scroll, Chen Kai's body was a little stronger than the others, so when he passed through a gap like Guò, it felt like the skin and flesh on his body were rubbed hotly and painfully.
