Chapter 183: Pipes
As the gunshots rang out continuously, a large amount of green liquid dripped from the top, as if a rainstorm was falling on the top, making a gurgling sound.
Ren Mingxiao held the miner's lamp hat in both hands, and looked at Chen Xunyi who was slowly descending, his body was covered with a layer of transparent liquid with a little yellow silk.
"It's okay!" Her hanging heart let go.
*
Chen Xunyi slowly fell from above, and there were still many tongues wrapped around his body, which looked like strips of cloth draped on his body.
Before he could stand firmly, Ren Mingxiao had already taken the serrated knife in his hand and cut the tongue wrapped around him.
"You're alright!"
Chen Xunyi cleaned his tongue and wiped off the transparent liquid with his hands.
"Why?" Ahab looked at him and asked, puzzled, "This tongue has no strength at all, and in that woods, a person as big as Hall was quickly pulled away!" ”
"Thanks to this hazmat suit!"
"Protective clothing?"
Chen Xunyi walked to the wall, picked up a broken brick from the ground, rubbed it against the wall hard, and then threw it towards the front area, he picked up the miner's hat that fell on the ground and shone it over.
A tongue quickly approached the brick, rolled up the brick, pulled up, and then the light turned to the top, and the barnacle monster that bit the brick with its teeth did not swallow the brick, but bit it with its teeth for a while, and then the tongue became weak, and the brick slowly descended to the ground.
After a while, the tongue was jerked back.
"Barnacle monsters have no other sensing organs, only their tongues to receive information from the outside world, and when the bricks are pulled up, they use the nerves in their teeth to determine whether the matter can be pierced and decomposed!
As the only tool that can hunt for food, the tongue consumes a considerable amount of energy, so the surface will secrete a transparent liquid, which is a hormone that maintains the vitality of the tongue and ensures the activity of the tongue! ”
Chen Xunyi knocked on the metal box behind him, "When I was pulled up, my back was up, so the barnacle monster's teeth judged me to be inedible, so they would naturally slowly put me down, but because the tongues of other barnacle monsters were entangled, you could only let you deal with those tongues first!" ”
He wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously, "It's good that I have this thing with me!" ”
"In that case!" Gao Xiang stood aside, tilted his head and asked, "Then what are we going to do next?" ”
Chen Xunyi pointed to the top, "Take the things on it, get one down, I judge, those bacteria may come from the barnacle monster!" ”
Gao Xiang poked his head out slightly, "This thing is all on top, how are we going to get it down?" ”
"It's like a barnacle on a rocky seashore."
"But we can't climb up with a tool to chisel it!"
Chen Xunyi took out the drawings and looked at them carefully, he stood by the wall, and shone the light on the miner's hat towards the front, "There is an iron frame over there that climbs up, and you can climb to the top of the pipe, as long as we get on the pipe, we can get close to the top." ”
"How did you find these things in such a dark place!"
"The drawings indicate the locations of the various pipes, so it's easy to tell if there are any tools around that can be used."
Gao Xiang took a picture around, "Now the question is, how are we going to get through this dangerous area, you only walked a few steps just now, and you were pulled up, I think if you get to the middle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to avoid more tongues." ”
"The tongue attacks the target through sound and heat induction!" Chen Xunyi looked around, "The best way is to let a person take something hot and lure them away." ”
Ahab shook his head, "One? One is simply not enough! Then Gao Xiang and I will be responsible for luring them away, and you must pass through this area as soon as possible and reach the iron shelf! ”
"Okay!"
"What's heating around here? It doesn't seem to be, in such a dark and damp place, it is estimated that it is impossible to even light a fire. ”
"Miner's hat!" Chen Xunyi said, "As long as you find something to cover it, you can make the light on the hat emit heat and dissipate as little as possible!" ”
They searched back in the same passageway, pulled out a black linen from a garbage heap, wrung it out, and wrapped it around the miner's hat.
The crowd stood there, anxiously waiting for some temperature to gather on the linen.
Due to the humid air around them, the progress of this method is quite slow, and the minutes and seconds pass by, and the endless waiting is a bit frustrating!
Chen Xunyi walked back and forth in the passage, and every few minutes, he stepped forward and put his hand on the linen and touched it carefully.
It's too slow! He thought to himself.
"Didn't you say that sound is okay?"
Chen Xunyi stopped, "The sound will only attract the attention of the tongue, and only the heat source is the most important factor in judging whether to attack or not!" ”
"If you wait like this, it's better to let the guards or someone else deal with it directly!" Gao Xiang was obviously a little impatient.
"If the pistol helps... Ahab put the pistol in his hand in front of his eyes and looked at it.
Pistol! An idea flashed through Chen Xunyi's mind, he stopped, turned to Yaha, "Give me the bullets in the pistol!" ”
"What?"
"There is a base medicine in the bullet, which can be used!"
Ahab took out the magazine, got a few bullets and put them in Chen Xunyi's hand.
"Just two! Otherwise, if you encounter any danger, you will be in trouble if you run out of bullets! Chen Xunyi returned the extra bullet to Ahab.
He used a serrated knife to remove the bottom of the bullet, poured the primer powder into the middle of the linen, and then ignited the primer through continuous impact and friction, and with a faint fire, some brownish-black smoke came out of the linen.
"You'd better run to the right side of the front, there's a passage connected to it, and if we climb up the pipe, you can hide there!"
Chen Xunyi walked towards the opposite wall, Ren Mingxiao followed behind him, Yaha and Gao Xiang were on the other side of the wall, they illuminated each other with lights, ready to start moving!
Ahab and Gao Xiang put on their protective masks and ran inside, and for a moment the sound inside became louder and louder, and the group of barnacle monsters on top seemed to become excited.
"In front of me!" Chen Xunyi took the initiative to walk back, "If you're slow, I can still take you, if you're behind, I can't take care of you!" ”
"Huh!" Ren Mingxiao nodded and stood in front!
"Wear a protective mask, don't let your tongue touch anywhere on your face, be quick! Be sure to run fast! ”
Ren Mingxiao opened her mouth wide, gasped for breath, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully to Chen Xunyi's shouting.
