Chapter 123: Half-Human, Half-Beast

What was that? I hurriedly shone the miner's lamp forward, and I couldn't see anything in the darkness.

"It's coming!" Knife raised the flare gun and said, "I'll count dozens, close my eyes immediately." ”

Before we could react, we heard that the knife had already begun to count, one, two, thirty-eight, nine, ten!

As soon as the words of the tenth number fell, I hurriedly closed my eyes, but out of curiosity, I just opened one eye and closed one eye, and then the knife had already pulled the trigger of the flare gun, and I only then realized why he asked me to close my eyes, but unfortunately in this flash, the flare hit something not far in front of me, and it had exploded, my open eyes were a flower, and even the remaining eyes were affected, and all the shadows in front of me were illusory, and I couldn't see anything clearly, and I couldn't help but curse in my heart, It's not a good thing to turn a blind eye!

With the violent burning of the flares, a scorching smell came to the nostrils, and everyone was in a trance, and then they heard a crackling sound, as if there were countless moths to the fire. When my eyesight was fully restored, I saw that in front of me there was a snowy stone cave, gathering countless crickets, pitch black, most of them had been roasted by flares, and crackling and splashing fishy body fluids were flying everywhere, and the scene was like watching a microscopic shelling of a position.

One of the flares had already burned halfway, and Lei Zi tore off the upper body of the diving suit, wrapped it around the rebar, poured alcohol on it and lit it to make a simple torch, and said, "Since this thing is afraid of fire, let's rush over." ”

The knife went up and snatched the torch and stepped on it and said: "No, the stinger is phototaxis, you can't use a torch, not only will it not burn a few to death, but it will attract more." After saying that, he pulled out the dagger, cut his palm, and then handed the dagger to me, I looked at him in a daze and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Without warning, the knife suddenly grabbed my hand, and slashed at my palm, which hurt my teeth, and then I heard a faint saying: "I can't deal with so many insects alone." As he spoke, he began to crawl forward.

I'm speechless, who calls himself such a bitter ghost and sorrowful physique. At that moment, I was about to leave, but I smiled, grabbed my hand and wiped it on him, and I shouted angrily: "Can you talk about human rights?" Damn, Lao Tzu's blood is so worthless? Hu Zi smiled evilly and said, "Save Hu Ye's life, can't you go out and pay?" Five hundred yuan a drop, more expensive than gold, why don't you do it? ”

I scolded my mother, and seeing that Lei Zi was also looking at me with fierce eyes, I hurriedly said: "The price has risen, 10,000 yuan a drop, US dollars!" After speaking, he quickly turned around and left, and heard Lei Zi shouting from behind: "Dude, it's too unkind, right?" ”

The knife walked in front, no one dared to make a sound, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the group of worms, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, although the worm looks not as disgusting as its larval corpse silkworm, but its aggression is many times higher than that of the corpse silkworm, especially the purpose of this adult worm is very simple, that is, to lay eggs, it doesn't matter if it bites it, if it lays eggs in the body, it is simply better to live than to die, it is better to be a little corpse Gu.

At this time, the flame of the flare dimmed, and a large number of stingers had already rushed through the blockade of the flare flames, and when we were still one step away, the entire army of stingers suddenly stirred, flapping their wings and making a squeaky sound, the long and far-reaching stone cave resonated with this squeak, and people were upset to hear it, as if there were countless female ghosts whispering lewd laughter in their ears, but that kind of laughter brought you not a heart ape, but a creep.

The knife tentatively stretched his palm forward, the squeaking sound of the squeak stopped abruptly, the scene of the riot instantly calmed down, the knife hurriedly waved his hand at me, I don't know who pushed me, pushed me staggered, hurriedly stretched out his hand, all those cripples moved, and then began to quickly flee backwards, the scene felt that the whole stone cave moved, as if the long stone cave suddenly became the intestines of a giant beast.

The speed at which the group retreated was amazing, and I didn't expect the two of us to be able to achieve such a powerful deterrent with a knife, which made me feel a little surprised, as if I were in a dream. In less than a few seconds, countless clams had retreated into the depths of the cave and disappeared into the darkness.

The knife waved at us and moved on. After walking for about ten minutes, a T-junction appeared in front of me, and in the middle of the intersection, there was a half-human-high bronze gear, and the chain went around the gear, going deep into the stone cave on the left. Originally, we had no choice but to follow the chain road to the black, but suddenly we found that at the entrance of the stone cave on the right, there was a pool of purple-black liquid that had solidified. ”

All were shocked, blood! Let's take a look, what the beard said is right, it is definitely a pool of coagulated human blood, and the blood stains have been extending to the depths of the stone cave on the right, that is, someone was injured here, probably attacked by the stinger, and then fled into the stone cave on the right, since he chose to flee to the stone cave on the right, it proves that the stone cave on the left must be in danger.

Just as we were hesitating which cave to enter, suddenly a faint sigh came from the depths of the cave on the right, although the voice was very soft, but no one heard it wrong, the voice was quite clear, as if the person who made the sigh was in our ears.

The four miner's lamps all shone into the depths of the stone cave on the right, and then we saw that at the end of the miner's light, there was a pale human face that flashed and disappeared into the darkness in an instant, I was shocked, that face was very familiar, just about to call his name, the beard had already shouted: "Damn, it's Wang Laoji!" ”

Without hesitation, the knife threw out a word: "Chase!" Before the words fell, the man had already fled several meters, and I really didn't know how he managed to achieve that speed in such a low stone cave, so I had to grit my teeth and chase after him.

In the confusion, I didn't know that my head was smashed several times by the low ceiling of the hole, but fortunately, my strength was not in vain, and I was finally not thrown off by the knife.

After climbing wildly for more than ten minutes, the terrain rises sharply, and a steep slope begins to appear, so that it is more labor-saving to climb, at least there is no need to worry about hitting your head. After chasing for nearly half an hour without stopping, the front was suddenly empty, and the four people had entered a large space, and their beards immediately brightened up a cold smoke and threw it in, with the help of dazzling white light, we found that this was a circular stone chamber of more than twenty square meters, but what surprised me was that the entire stone chamber and the dome were densely covered with holes the thickness of a person, giving people the feeling of being in a huge and ugly beehive.

In the center of the stone room, it is two feet from the ground, there is a jade plate, the diameter of the jade plate is about half a meter, there are many simple and elegant lines carved on it, what surprises us is that it is actually suspended, there is no support below, only to find that the jade plate is wearing a lot of silver threads as thin as hair, and the other end of the silver wire is drilled into many holes above.

As soon as Hu Zi saw the jade plate, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he wanted to untie the jade plate with a smile, Lei Zi hurriedly grabbed the beard and said, "Wait, have you noticed the things here, where have we seen them before?" ”

When Lei Zi said this, I suddenly remembered, the insect altar of the temple at the bottom of the lake! Damn, it's really a fucking likeness, but here the bronze tripod of the insect altar has been replaced with a jade plate, and other than that, the two places are too similar.

Lei Zi pointed to the jade plate and said: "It's best not to touch this thing, if you don't get it right, you will have to be bitten by insects."

Rubbing his hands with his beard seemed a little unwilling, but as a lesson from the past, he could only admit it, and reluctantly stared at the jade plate for a long time, and said with a sigh: "Hey? There seems to be blood stains in the lines on this jade plate, damn it, you look at these silver threads, they are also a little black, damn this is soaked in blood. “

The knife snorted and said: "This may be the core of the mechanism opened by the white jade giant gate, I think the blood on the jade door will definitely be collected into the jade plate through the silver thread, and then attract a huge number of cripples, with the increase in the number of cripples, the jade plate is forced to pull the silver wire, thereby activating the mechanism, after the cripple sucks the blood, leaves the jade plate, and the mechanism is restored." ”

I nodded, it sounded absolutely reasonable, but it seems that we didn't come here to research the institution, what about the person we just chased?

As soon as my voice fell, suddenly a drop of blood fell on the jade plate, everyone looked up, and suddenly found that in the hole directly above the jade plate, an extremely pale and terrifying human face poked out, the facial features on the face have been distorted, and the eyes seem to have been dug out by something, turning into two terrible black holes, and the mouth is dripping with blood, like the coveting of a vicious beast, and the hand it poked out of was only three fingers, and the fingers were thin and black, like eagle claws, and the strange long nails were dripping with creepy red mucus, From its facial features, it looks like that chubby Wang Ji, but its overall impression is that it is a bloodthirsty demonic beast.
