Volume 1 The Coming Storm Chapter 47 Self-immolation

Hearing the bearded man say this, everyone's faces changed. Chu Tianyi looked around, and sure enough, it was foggy, the same as the last time he was trapped by the piano worm.

"Oops!" He blurted out, "It's still a step too late, we've been tricked!" ”

"It's okay!" Xiao Meng raised the gun in his hand, "We know how to crack this situation, as long as we find the body of that piano worm, we can rush out." ”

"That's right," Xiao Meng's words reminded Chu Tianyi, "Didn't you use this method to escape last time?" ”

The bearded man looked at Mu Feng, "Brother Feng, let's find that guy as soon as possible, right?" ”

Mu Feng pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay then, then go find it!" Although he said this, his face did not show a hint of relief to find a solution.

Outside, there was no place to hide, so the four of them returned to the temple. Xiao Meng and Bearded Man patrolled the surroundings with guns raised, but found nothing. Chu Tianyi bit the short knife with his teeth, kicked on the pillar in the hall, grabbed the beam with a leap of strength, and relied on the excellent strength of his upper limbs to turn over and climb up.

Xiao Meng lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yi be careful, how is it?" Did you find anything? ”

Chu Tianyi raised his flashlight and scanned the beam, but he didn't find any trace of the piano worm. Judging from the tail they had just seen, the size of this insect was definitely far larger than the two they had encountered before, and there were not many places to hide on this beam, and there was no reason why it could not be found at all.

Chu Tianyi turned over and jumped off the beam in confusion, and the bearded man and Xiao Meng came over and asked, "What?" Don't see it? Seeing Chu Tianyi shaking his head, the two of them were also very surprised.

"No need to look for it," Mu Feng, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "Things are in trouble!" ”

"Brother Feng, what do you mean?" Mu Feng's words made the three people who were originally surprised feel an ominous premonition in their hearts.

Mu Feng explained: "Actually, the toxin released by the insect contains an alkaloid. Alkaloids are basically only found in plants, and only a very small number of animals can produce alkaloids, and lyreworms are one of them. Alkaloids are able to affect the central nervous system, stimulate brain cells, stimulate spinal cord cell reflexes, and thus produce hallucinations. The small insect is not so poisonous, so it can't hide its body. But if the insect lives long enough and is large enough, it can release alkaloids strong enough to hide its body. I think this worm is at this level. ”

"You mean, we can't find it?" Things are much more terrible than they imagined.

The bearded man did not believe in evil and searched again, but in the end it was in vain, and his inner irritability and depression had nowhere to vent, and he roared and fired a few shots at the surroundings without purpose.

Seeing his appearance, Mu Feng frowned, "Don't go crazy first, it's not impossible." ”

"What is it?" Xiao Meng hurriedly asked.

Mu Feng raised his hand and pointed at the entire temple, "Burn it!" ”

"Burn?" Chu Tianyi looked at this thousand-year-old temple, and he didn't know if his father's scientific research spirit had been inherited to him, and he felt a little pity.

"Then burn it!" The bearded man didn't care, "As long as you can escape, why hesitate?" ”

"It's not that simple," Mu Feng shook his head, "Burn here, provided that we can't go out, at least one person can't go out." ”

Several people were taken aback, "Why is this?" ”

"The high temperature of the flame can decompose the toxins dispersed in the ancient temple, and only by staying in the ancient temple or being very close to the flames can you get out of the poisoned state, so as to see the location of the insect clearly." Mu Feng said, "If we hide outside the ancient temple, then we will always be within the coverage of alkaloid toxicity, even if the qin worm escapes in front of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out." Burning down the ancient temple is our only chance, if we can't get the worm here, then we can wait for death steadily. ”

"Then I'll stay," Chu Tianyi smiled, "I'm alone and have no relatives." ”

"No," Xiao Meng stopped him, "do you still want to find your father, or will I stay." ”

"Don't fight," the bearded man pulled Xiao Meng aside, "you still have an old lady to take care of!" Or I'll come. ”

Mu Feng looked at the three people who were arguing and felt very funny, "This plot is simply bloody!" Okay, don't rob it, first of all, this matter is a mistake in my judgment that led to this ancient temple. Second, none of you know anything better than I do, so I have to come, and I'm afraid you'll mess it up just because of this chance! ”

"Then stay all," Chu Tianyi proposed, "and there will be difficulties." ”

"Yes," Bearded and Fierce agreed. Mu Feng couldn't help but the three of them could only agree, "If you want to die with me, I have no opinion." "The atmosphere was extremely sad by Mu Feng, and Chu Tianyi and they were also a little used to it.

Everyone found a stone to offer a table and hid underneath, and the bearded man went out to light a fire. The dry wood caught fire and soon the entire lower part of the ancient temple burned into pieces. A thousand-year-old temple was ruthlessly devoured by the fire.

Chu Tianyi and Mu Feng hid under an offering table, bursts of scorching heat hit their faces, and Chu Tianyi kept wiping the sweat on his face. Everyone's faces were flushed with firelight. Fortunately, this ancient temple is located at the bottom of a huge crater, and the existence of the huge pit has caused a huge "chimney" to form here, and all the smoke from the combustion spirals upward. Fortunately, otherwise, it is likely that the four of them would have fainted from the smoke before the insects were burned out.

The flames burned higher and higher, and suddenly a beam was burned off and smashed down, and it fell heavily on the offering table where Chu Tianyi and the others were. The burning beam was beside Chu Tianyi, and he now felt that he was a roast chicken, and he couldn't even tell whether sweat or oil was coming out of his face.

At that moment, a striped black shadow fell from the roof of the house and immediately fled out the door.

"That's it!" Mu Feng screamed and rushed out from under the offering table. When Chu Tianyi saw it, he immediately followed.

The speed of the black shadow was fast, and in the blink of an eye it was already out of the doorway. Mu Feng saw that he couldn't catch it, so he flew forward and pounced, raised the short knife in his hand and stabbed it hard. The short knife just stabbed into the tail of the piano worm, this guy was in pain, and when he turned around and opened his mouth, he bit it, and Mu Feng hurriedly dodged. At this time, the bearded man and Xiao Meng also arrived, and Mu Feng shouted, "Shoot, shoot!" ”

The two shotguns were fired at the same time, and the two of them ran out of bullets without hesitation, venting their irritability and anger to the fullest. The insects on the ground were almost beaten into a sieve, and they died of exhaustion.

At this time, Chu Tianyi looked around again, the hazy mist had disappeared, and the original appearance of the giant pit was revealed again.

The four of them sat down on the ground all of a sudden, panting heavily. It may be that the action just now was too violent, and Mu Feng coughed violently again,

Chu Tianyi threw the water man in his pocket to Mu Feng and gave him a thumbs up.

The bearded man hurriedly went to get the backpack back, took out the cloth bag containing the insect gall from it, and put it into the close-fitting pocket, "I can't be separated from this baby!" ”

Chu Tianyi sat and stared at the piano worm's hair. From the side, it looks like a bat without hair. Suddenly, he noticed the worm's teeth, which were fine and sharp. He turned to Xiao Meng and said, "What about the tooth you found earlier?" ”

Xiao Meng rummaged through his pocket and handed it over, "What's the matter, Brother Yi?" ”

Chu Tianyi compared this tooth with the teeth of this set of giant pireworms, and found that the two were very different, "I've been wondering what kind of animal the owner of this tooth is, the piano is the only ferocious reptile we've seen along the way." It's not what it is, though. After speaking, Chu Tianyi waved his hand and threw the teeth back to Xiao Meng.

The bearded man thought for a moment, "Don't forget the dark shadow who spied on us that night." ”

Chu Tianyi shook his head gently, "The last time I was tied up by the lyre, that black monster appeared, and it seemed to be immune to the plight of the qinworm. And the point is, looking back now, I don't think it's that dangerous, and I don't know why? ”

Xiao Meng's face was a little nervous, "Could it be that there is still a fierce beast hidden here that we haven't seen yet?" ”

"Who knows," Mu Feng stretched, "let's go, don't sit still." ”

A few people got up and walked in the direction of the plank road, passing by the location of the ancient temple halfway. But at this moment, the ancient temple that had been erected for thousands of years had completely burned down at this time, leaving only a charred black, only the two statues were still standing there.

Chu Tianyi sighed regretfully, Mu Feng also stood aside and carefully looked at this piece of ruined scorched wood, and suddenly his eyes moved, and then he stepped on the broken beam and walked in, squatting on the ground and picking up a piece of wooden beam that was still sparkling with a short knife.

Chu Tianyi was surprised to find that a gray-black stone box was exposed under the wooden beam.
