Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 26 The Giant Worm
At this moment, I saw that the four pillars in front and back of the coffin were all cracked. The crack came from below and extended to the top of the column. Seeing the cracks in the pillars, the hearts of the three of us suddenly rose to our throats, if these pillars fell, not to mention all of them, even a few of them could cause the collapse of this palace.
After the crack, I saw that the stones on the pillar fell "with a bang", and the ground caused a large amount of dust. Actually, the three of us were ready to run away at any time, but we didn't feel the sky shaking, and we felt that there should be nothing wrong with this house, so we calmed down and stayed. As we expected, although the noise was terrifying, the palace showed no signs of collapse, and the pillars were only peeling off a layer of stone from the outside.
"Look at you two! There are words on the pillars! When the dust settled, the jar was the first to discover the handwriting on the pillars.
I walked in with a searchlight and saw that the handwriting on the pillar was something like a charm. Although I have not seen this kind of rune, judging from the way this rune is written, it should be some kind of swayant used to suppress something.
I told the two of them my thoughts, but as I was talking, Xu Yunshu suddenly pointed to the coffin inside the coffin and shouted: "You see that coffin also has runes on it!" "The altar and I hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, there was a rune written in red cinnabar on the top of the coffin. The rune is written on the lid of the coffin, but the end of the spell extends in all directions, along the lid to the baffles on all sides of the coffin...... When we first opened the coffin, this rune did not appear on the coffin, but only appeared after the stone pillar shattered and the charm above appeared, so it seems that there should be a close connection between the two......
Xu Yunshu asked, "Pei Qian, didn't you just say that the spell on the pillar was used to suppress something?" Seeing that I nodded, she continued, "It seems that it should be the suppression of what is hidden in this coffin!" "The altar and I agree with this statement.
"Is it the people or the things that are being suppressed?" The jar looked at the two of us and asked.
"That will only be known after the coffin is opened!" I say.
"Open?" Jar asked.
"Are you kidding?" I said to the altar, "If you know that there is something bad here, you still have to open the coffin, isn't that the light in the toilet - looking for (death)?" ”
"So what do we do? Withdrawn like that? A trip for nothing? Jarzi asked.
"Uh......" I didn't have an idea for a moment. If it is true that I returned empty-handed like this, I am really unwilling, but if I know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains, I am a little afraid, after all, no one knows what is in the coffin......
Just as we were hesitating to stop and go home, a few drops of rain fell from the sky.
"There's a lot of moisture here...... I wiped it off, not caring at all. But after this wiping, I realized that my hands did not seem to be water, but sticky, slippery liquid. I raised my hand and looked at the liquid in my hand carefully, and after pinching a few fingers, I was able to pull out the sticky wire. I wondered, so I looked up. It didn't matter what it looked like, it just froze me where I was.
A huge insect hung in mid-air, half of its body coiled on a beam and half of its body stretched down, staring at us below.
Before I could react, the bug had already landed next to the coffin from the sky.
I was the only one who found this giant insect before, and I hadn't reminded Xu Yunshu and the jar yet, so the giant insect suddenly fell, startling the two of them: "Ah~~" "Mom, what the is this?" ”
This time, under the light of the searchlight, I finally saw the true face of this bug. It is nearly ten meters long and nearly two meters thick, and its body is segmented one by one, very much like a centipede, but it is obviously different from a centipede, its links are shorter and denser than centipedes, and each segment has two long feet, which are both like arthropods and annelids. Although the giant worm's body is huge, its head is even more terrifying. There are two slender tentacles in front of us, and six eyes on the head, which are always staring at us. There are two huge jaws sharp like guillotines on the side of the mouth, and four stout feet behind it.
"Hiss~~" The giant worm made a sound, and its jaw gradually opened, revealing its mouthparts in the middle. It wasn't an insect's mouth at all, it was full of sharp teeth, and it looked like a monster.
In front of this monster, the three of us humans seem so small, as if it is not enough to stuff its teeth.
Xu Yunshu was a little trembling with fright, and my heart was also secretly stunned, Tanzi swallowed his saliva, and said, "No...... I'm sorry, we didn't know that your relatives were in this coffin, ...... Disturbed ......"
After saying this, the giant worm suddenly grew its mouth wider, and seemed to roar at us, but it did not make a sound.
"Why do you talk so much nonsense with it? Does it understand? I said out loud.
"What then?" Jar asked.
"What to do? Run! I yelled, then turned around and ran with the two of them out of the hall.
I had barely gone far when I heard a "whoosh" behind me. I didn't have time to look back, so I could only shout by feeling: "Get down!" Tan Zi and Xu Yunshu didn't think about it, and just lay down on the spot according to my instructions. When I shouted, I fell to the ground with my head in my hands.
As soon as we fell down, we felt a "whirl" on our heads, a strong wind swept by, and then there was a loud "bang". At this time, the three of us had a chance to raise our heads and look forward. It turned out that the giant worm swept its tail at the three of us, and we dodged it, hitting the stone pillar in front of us.
The stone pillar that was more than two meters thick was broken under this impact, although it did not collapse immediately, but it had been tilted at a great angle, and the gravel fell one after another, and it was in danger.
The three of us were dumbfounded when we saw it, even the stone pillar was smashed like this, so we can see how powerful this collision is, it is terrifying. Thanks to our alertness, we were able to dodge this fatal blow, otherwise the flesh and blood of the three of us would not have withstood such a strong impact. If it really hits, I'm afraid there will be three more puddles of meat mud here.
In this way, the three of us did not dare to stop for a moment, so we stood up and continued to run. Seeing that the blow missed, and we ran out of range of its length, we had to turn around and chase after it.
Despite the huge size of this giant insect, its body is indeed very agile and extremely fast. We didn't have to wait to run a few steps before it caught up again.
