Chapter 41: The Swarm of Terror
The feet were empty, only to let the two of them find that this step was only built such a small section, and the back was a smooth rock wall, all the way down, like a natural slide, the two of them went down quickly along the slide, but this slide seemed to have no end, finally, there was a glimmer of light in front of him, Leng Changxi slid out of the slide, he swore that he had never been so embarrassed in his life.
Leng Changxi propped his elbows on the ground, face down, and heard Qin Yunuan's screams behind him, he hurriedly turned around and prepared to catch Qin Yunuan, but was hit by Qin Yunuan's great momentum, Qin Yunuan nested in Leng Changxi's arms, this tunnel-like slide made her extremely scared, this fast speed was something she had never experienced.
"Are you alright?" Leng Changxi hugged Qin Yunuan and comforted her heart.
Qin Yunuan nodded, rested for a moment and then raised his head to look at the structure underneath, the light here was brighter than above, this was a curious place, taking advantage of the light that could still identify the five fingers, Qin Yunuan took a few steps forward, but was stunned by what he saw in front of him.
Walking out, she found that she and Leng Changxi were standing on a high step, surrounded by a simple guardrail, made of iron, which had grown thick rust, and underground, it was a neat, large-scale, giant machine, the tallest was as high as a palace, judging from the traces of chiseling on the rock wall, it could be judged that this underground kingdom was artificial, not to mention that just by manufacturing so many machines, it was even more difficult to build such a grand underground palace in such a deep place.
Leng Changxi followed Qin Yunuan closer, looking at the neatly arranged weapons in front of him, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, they knew that they had finally come to the interior of the weapons factory, which was the core place where countless deadly weapons and gunpowder had been produced.
Qin Yunuan was almost stunned, her curiosity about new things drove her to raise her feet step by step, and approached this gathering place of infinite wisdom and power, but suddenly, her arm was dragged by Leng Changxi, and after a few steps, Qin Yunuan fell directly into Leng Changxi's arms.
"Don't go any further, you see." Leng Changxi pointed to the bottom of the steps, because the light was relatively dim, Qin Yunuan could only see that there was a black mass moving here, although it was only as long as a finger, but because of the fast movement, it was very noticeable.
In a moment the black thing seemed to linger for a moment, and then writhed rapidly on the ground, as if to convey a signal, and at once, from all directions, waves of creatures like it came in waves, like centipedes, long, with many legs, and the mighty little pincers at the front seemed to be a symbol of their strength;
"What is this?" Qin Yunuan looked at this little insect and instantly occupied the floor that he could see, and the entire ground was crawling like this, and the black "centipede" made people feel goosebumps when they saw it.
"I don't know," Leng Changxi looked at these insects nervously, "but it's definitely not a good thing, we haven't encountered anything good since we entered here." ”
And at this moment, a big zhi'zhu that was originally hanging on a gear suddenly fell from the net that he knotted, and the palm-sized zhi'zhu fell into this insect swarm for a while, like a sheep sent into the mouth of a tiger, these insects surged towards the big zhi'zhu at an astonishing speed, and the black pressure rolled into a worm ball, but with a snap of the fingers, and then dispersed, the zhi'zhu didn't even have scum left.
It seems that the combat effectiveness of these bugs is not ordinary.
Leng Changxi subconsciously pulled Qin Yunuan and took a step back, Qin Yunuan had already begun to rejoice, if Leng Changxi hadn't stopped her in time, I was afraid that she would also be bitten by this group of difficult insects.
However, after observing the movement of these insects, Leng Changxi found that this group of insects had a weakness, that is, they could only move on flat ground, they would not go up the stairs, and they would only bypass far away when they encountered obstacles, which showed that the place where he and Qin Yunuan were located was still safe, at least for now.
"Go up." Leng Changxi took Qin Yunuan and walked back with her.
"How are we going to get there?" Qin Yunuan asked as he walked, and walked towards a stone step on the opposite side that was symmetrical to the steps on this side, there seemed to be another space hidden over there, if this was a production space, then that place must be the most core place leading to the entire weapons factory, not only was there such a long distance in between, but the ground was also full of black insects that could eat people.
"I have my own way." Leng Changxi walked to the top and glanced towards the center, fortunately, the machines here are very dense, and it is not difficult for Leng Changxi to jump over with the help of the connection and gap between these machines, but the difficult thing is to jump over with Qin Yunuan.
It was when he was distressed, but Leng Changxi happened to see a two-finger-thick iron chain next to the stone steps, although it was rusty, but Leng Changxi dragged it hard, but it was still very strong.
"Changxi, what are you going to do?" Qin Yunuan seemed to have guessed Leng Changxi's thoughts, she looked at Leng Changxi with some concern, she trusted Leng Changxi very much in her adventures along the way, and she was also at this moment.
Leng Changxi tried the length of the iron chain, it was far more than the distance from the steps from this side to the other end, it seems that this iron chain should have been used to transport those large machines or weapons in the past, and there were many traces of binding.
Leng Changxi was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a slight noise above his head.
Suddenly, both of them held their breath, and then, again, it seemed to be a sound between the friction of the coffin, Qin Yunuan frowned, once the broken dragon gate fell, it could no longer be opened, it stands to reason that Chen Jingrui couldn't come in at all, could it be that there were other people inside?
The more I thought about it, the more numb my heart became, but Qin Yunuan always firmly believed that even if the broken dragon gate was destroyed and the tomb was destroyed, there would definitely be other exits, as long as he kept moving forward, he would find an opportunity.
Leng Changxi also tightened his brows and said, "There is no time;
。 Then, he shook the iron chain in his hand, danced loudly, and threw it towards an iron railing on the opposite step, but unfortunately, the first time he threw it too violently, and the distance was not estimated, and the iron chain fell in the center of the floor, and the group of black insects immediately surrounded it, it seems that they have a great interest in everything that is new and moving, which strengthens Leng Changxi's determination not to provoke this group of little devils.
Leng Changxi quickly circled the chain, ready to take the chain back, but found that there were still a few restless black insects hanging on it, Leng Changxi immediately threw the chain on the ground, and trampled several to death with a few clicks.
"Wait." Qin Yunuan suddenly shouted, Leng Changxi raised his boots, and Qin Yunuan squatted down without fear and directly picked up a half-dead black worm on the ground.
She looked closely, the black worm had many legs, sixteen feet on each side, thirty-two in all, its head was like an ant, and it had two pincers that were very out of proportion to its body, and the sharp teeth on the side of its mouth that were used to tear at its prey seemed to warn people that it was not easy to mess with.
Qin Yunuan had never seen such a black insect outside, and neither had Leng Changxi seen it, but Qin Yunuan remembered that she had seen it in a book, which was a miscellaneous book that recorded tomb robbery, and at that time she just regarded it as a boring and idle book.
"It's a corpse worm." Qin Yunuan suddenly remembered, "I remember I read in a book, this kind of insect has a strong bite ability, and it likes dark, damp and bloody places the most, so most of them feed on corpses, once this kind of insect appears, it means that there are corpses nearby, and the more it appears, the more corpses there are nearby." ”
After saying this, Leng Changxi couldn't help but break out in a little cold sweat, looking at the whole floor full of corpse insects, it is conceivable that there must be a huge corpse filling pit near here, and it is reasonable to think about it. When the Weapons Factory happened bào'luàn, a group of people were executed, and according to the words of Sun Chengzhen and Chen Jingrui, it can be concluded that the Weapons Factory also adopted thunderous measures in treating craftsmen, burying rebellious craftsmen, and lazy craftsmen may be killed in a hundred ways, after all, this savage valley is deep in the mountains, the supply of materials is limited, and one more person is a burden, so it is better to kill it.
But I didn't expect that all kinds of bloody cases that happened in the past would now feed so many terrifying corpse insects to block people who tried to enter the core of the weapons factory again.
Leng Changxi thought about it, the iron chain in his hand had been thrown on the guardrail of the opposite step, he pulled it hard, it looked quite strong, but he didn't know if he could bear the weight of him and Qin Yunuan.
The sound of the hair on the top is getting louder and louder, and it always feels like something terrible is approaching.
Leng Changxi tugged on the chain in his hand and glanced at Qin Yunuan: "Nuan Nuan, you lie on my shoulder, hold it tightly, remember, no matter what happens, don't let go." ”
Qin Yunuan nodded, but her fingertips couldn't help trembling, she couldn't help but tremble, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, and lay on Leng Changxi's back, Leng Changxi held the iron chain in his hand, and as soon as he got on his feet, he climbed out, and only used the strength of his two hands and arms to climb along the iron chain towards the opposite side, this iron chain and guardrail are some years old, and from time to time there will be a few creaking noises, and less than two steps away from them, is the surging sea of insects.
Unconsciously, he had already climbed halfway, no matter how good Leng Changxi's physical strength was, he was sweating, Qin Yunuan could only try to keep his body from moving around, reducing the burden on Leng Changxi, just when Leng Changxi was resting in mid-air for a moment and was about to continue walking, there was a sudden rustling sound in the tunnel, and it seemed that someone had followed him.
Poof, sure enough, a person fell from the mouth of the tunnel, and this person was none other than Meng Man.
