Chapter 175: Devil's Gate (2)
On a high ground to the north, Giles lowered his hand to block the sun. Turning around, there was a black iron coffin next to him, An Kexin stood far away, and didn't seem to like this iron coffin.
An Kexin walked over and looked at the rising pillar of fire in the distance, "We don't even know where the Demon Heart is, listening to your tone, it seems like it has become a bag." I'm curious, do you have a clue? ”
"How is it possible, I am also on the island for the first time like you."
Giles held up a finger: "I've done some intelligence gathering, though. ”
He pointed to the pillar of fire, "If I'm guessing correctly, it should be Hell Mountain, and there is a demon gate in the mountain. Open the door of the devil and we will lead to the lair of the devil. If there is a demon heart on this island, it is obvious that you should go to the demon's territory to find it. ”
An Kexin was a little unimpressed: "Hell Mountain? Demon Gate? So, let's go to Hell Mountain? ”
"Of course!"
An Kexin looked at the iron coffin next to him again: "But are you sure you want to bring this thing with you?" ”
"Now that the volcano is erupting, we, the humans, and the night owls, they should all be aware of it. If there are no surprises, we will eventually meet there. It's going to be a scuffle, and you're sure you'll be able to protect it from damage in that kind of fight. ”
Gilles thought for a moment and sighed, "I have to admit that you're right, so let's put it here." With that, his chest suddenly rose and fell violently, and a mouthpart was violently cracked. From that mouthpart, clumps of dark red blood spurted out, and they moved rapidly as they landed on the ground. Gradually, the blood clot bulged and a fleshy membrane formed on the surface.
There was a sharp bulge under the flesh membrane, and then it was bitten open with a hiss, and wolves the size of hunting dogs emerged from the flesh membrane. After these wolves came out, they ate the flesh membranes, and the flesh and blood of their bodies quickly expanded and grew, and in the blink of an eye, they all grew the size of African lions.
These dark red wolves have bone spurs and a ferocious aura. Then four giant wolves rushed out from different directions, the rest lay down next to the iron coffin, and the first wolf jumped on the iron coffin and sat down.
The tremors from the eruption have finally stopped.
The natives in the walled city looked apprehensive, and it seemed that the volcano had not erupted often in the past, otherwise the natives must have become accustomed to it.
Lin Ci and Xiao Jiu left the wooden house, and along the way, they saw many natives bowing in the direction of the volcano, and from their eyes, Lin Ci saw the fear deep in the bone marrow.
They found Sang Yu and expressed their decision to leave.
"Where are you going, this island is full of demons, you better stay here."
"We loved it here, really. But we have to go, we have companions scattered on this island, and I have to find them and take them away. Lin Xi pondered for a moment.
Sang Yu sighed and went back to talk to the old woman for a while.
The old woman said a lot of things, but finally nodded. Sang Yu came back and said, "Wait a minute. ”
"I'm sorry for you."
Half an hour later, Sang Yu led them to the bank of the river, where a canoe was ready. There was also a basket of melons and fruits on the wooden boat, as well as dried meat in hollowed-out coconuts, which were used as food for the forest worship on their way.
Lin Ci was naturally very grateful, and at this time, the indigenous elder came, and brought other natives with him.
At this time, the elder raised his hand and drank the song of the tribe in an old voice.
Lin Ci got into the canoe, and Sang Yu came over, held Lin Ci's hand and said, "If you see Su, please tell him that Sang Yu has not forgotten him." ”
Then tears also fell from the corners of the middle-aged woman's eyes, but she quickly wiped them away and said, "No matter where you are going, we will bless you, friends, take care." ”
Then two strong indigenous men pushed the canoe away.
Lin Ci waved goodbye to them, and even though he had only stayed here for a day, he could feel the sincerity and friendliness of these natives from the bottom of their hearts. If he could, he would also like to stay here for a longer time, but unfortunately, as Xiao Jiu said, he is not here for a vacation.
To the sound of the aborigines, the canoe passed through the small wooden gate of the barrage and came to the river outside. Lin Ci and Xiao Jiu rowed a boat, turned the bend of the river, and soon saw the huge lake.
Although the eruption has stopped, a thick column of smoke rises from the direction of the volcano, clearly marking the direction of the volcano in the air.
That direction was on the other side of the lake fault, looking at the smoke, Xiao Jiu turned around and said, "You don't want to rush down directly from the fault, right?" ”
"If you have a better idea, I'd love to follow you." Lin Xi said with a smile.
"Humph!"
The canoe rowed in the direction of the lake fault, and the boat went fast because of the downstream. It didn't take long for the deafening sound of the water to make it impossible for Lin Ci and the two to continue talking, and Lin Ci could only make gestures and ask Xiao Jiu to tie the food to the boat.
A few minutes later, the fault was in sight.
The canoe burst out of the lake like a galloping horse, and looking ahead, there was a large river valley below.
There is green grass and vegetation all over the place, and you can see mountains interspersed with it. In the distance, a black volcano towered over a large area of yellow-brown earth, where there was not a single grass, not even a mountain bag, only a volcano that could not be more obvious.
Then the canoe began to tilt and fell downward.
Soon they rushed into the water with their men and boats. A moment later, they floated from the water, and the canoe had capsized.
Lin Xi turned the wooden boat over and lifted Xiao Jiu up again. At this time, Xiao Jiu, who was too frightened, was no longer able to protest that Lin Ci's hand was placed in some places that should not be placed, she lay on the boat and looked at the blue sky and panted, until Lin Ci also got up, she spit out a few mouthfuls of river water and said, "Are we still alive?" ”
"I can't die for a while."
Xiao Jiu turned over and cried: "I'm scared to death, I thought I was going to die." ”
Lin Xi laughed, scooped up the boat pulp from the water, and began to row away.
They went down the river, but unfortunately it didn't take long for them to have no way ahead. The river joins downstream to form another lake, with a mountain on the opposite side of the lake. There is a fault at the bottom of the mountain, and the lake water is poured into it, forming an underground water flow.
The gap in the fault was low, and it was impossible to row the boat into it, so Lin Ci rowed the canoe to the nearby shore and went ashore with Xiao Jiu. They packed up their things, and the fruits and melons sent by the natives were gone, except for the empty coconuts with the cured meat.
Lin Ci simply strung them together and hung them around his neck, Xiao Jiu smiled at his image, saying that he shaved his hair like a big monk. Lin Ci didn't bother to bother with her, and walked in front alone, and Xiao Jiu hurriedly followed.
They passed through a grove of trees, and suddenly they came to a valley. The middle of the valley is wide and flat, with very tall grass. As far as the eye can see, the grass has come to the waist, and it is almost like a grassland.
"Let's find a place to rest." Xiao Jiu pleaded.
"When you die, there is time to rest. So for now, keep walking. ”
Lin Ci pointed to a low mountain in the distance, "If you want to rest, let's talk about it when you get there." ”
Xiao Jiu made a rough calculation, and the straight-line distance was estimated to be several kilometers, and he couldn't help moaning. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the grass behind her!
"Be careful!"
Seeing the shadow suddenly rising behind Xiao Jiu, Lin Ci hurriedly pulled her to his side, and a loud sound sounded in the air, and a black shadow broke through the air. Lin Ci instinctively raised his hand to block it, but the thing pierced into his palm.
Lin Ci Dingqing saw that it was actually a knot-like blood sucking, and it was sucking Lin Ci's blood every step of the way. Lin Ci snorted lightly, let go of Xiao Jiu, his left hand suddenly mutated, and a blood-devouring hideous figure appeared in the air.
Lin Xi raised his claws and grabbed the straw, and then caught it into several pieces, and the thing let out a scream of pain and jumped back. At this time, Lin Xi had time to look at it, if the beetle and the moth monster before still had some humanoid outlines, then now this is a pure bug.
It is like a lice that has been magnified countless times, with a flattened body, a small head and a large waist, and two thick and powerful hind limbs. The shell reflected in the sunlight and looked very hard, and the suction veins that had extended from its mouthparts were now broken by the blood, which was tantamount to killing it.
But in the face of such a super big lice, not to mention Xiao Jiu, even Lin Ci's face was a little abnormal.
Xiao Jiu looked at its abdomen, the abdomen of the lice occupies almost ninety percent of the volume of the whole body, once it sucks blood, I am afraid that I will not be able to feed such a big guy even if I drain people.
"I kind of hate this island." Lin Ci said, "There are bugs everywhere, and compared to it, I suddenly feel that the ripper is more acceptable." ”
"Don't talk so much, kill it!"
On the other side, the super lice had already kicked on both hind legs, and the whole thing jumped up. The lice's jumping ability was excellent, and now that this ability was amplified along with its size, it instantly soared into the air like a swift species, and then swooped down on Lin Ci in the air.
Lin Ci raised his head to catch the blood devourer, the five sharp claws of the blood devouring flicked away, and the sharp wind caught it, and the lice immediately split apart, and the fragments of blood fell all over the ground.
"Really, that's it again." Lin Xi, who was drenched in the blood of insects, had helplessness written on his face.
"Get out of here, I'm terrified of this grassland." Xiao Jiu hugged himself tightly and said.
Lin Ci agreed with her suggestion very much, which made Xiao Jiu dare not rest anymore, and continued to go deep into the grassland with Lin Ci. After walking for a while, Lin Ci suddenly said, "Stop." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Look, there's no wind."
Xiao Jiu raised her hand, and sure enough, there was no wind, and she was puzzled: "What's wrong if there is no wind." ”
"There's no wind, but the grass is moving!" Lin Ci narrowed his eyes.
Xiao Jiu hurriedly looked, and sure enough, the long grass around him was shaking. What would it be if the wind hadn't blown them?
As soon as he finished speaking, a super lice jumped out of the grass, and a blood-sucking hose in his mouthparts shot towards Lin Xi's chest. Lin Xi, who didn't put away the blood, snorted, raised his five claws and pounced, a few blood marks crossed the air, and the lice became fragments all over the ground.
But black shadows kept popping out of the grass, and tall lice surrounded Lin Xi and the two of them. From the sky, this valley grassland is full of this blood-sucking lice, and their number is so large that the grassland is almost covered.
"I've heard that lice are quite capable of giving birth, but this is too capable of giving birth, these things can't be dispatched out of the nest, so much?" Lin Ci and Xiao Jiu were back to back, and those lice didn't rush up, but all the mouthparts were opened, and a blood-sucking hose slowly stretched out from inside.
Xiao Jiu said with a pale face: "What now?" ”
"There are too many of them, and if they can't be killed, they can only rush out." Lin Ci said: "I'll let you run for a while, so you don't want to run behind me for anything, understand?" ”
Xiao Jiu nodded.
Lin Ci looked at the Blood Devourer, the Blood Devourer was immediately deformed, the biological tissue was reconstructed, and the Warhammer Destroyer fell into Lin Ci's hands.
Lin Ci raised the war hammer, took a sharp breath, and smashed it down again.
The warhammer touched the ground and blasted out a fan-shaped shockwave that lifted the ground, the long grass, and even the large area of giant lice in front of it. Then both the grass and the lice were shaken into powder in mid-air!
"Run!" Lin Ci yelled, then picked up the war hammer and rushed forward.
Xiao Jiu gritted his teeth and followed closely behind him.
She didn't dare look back, but she knew by the sound that the lice were chasing her.
Lin Xi dragged the saboteur and blasted a hammer from time to time. The power of the saboteur is amazing, and when a hammer is slashed out, it will always smash a large area of monitor lice into a pulp. So the two left a red carpet on the grassland, but Lin Ci soon found that the breakout plan didn't work.
The reason is simple, there are too many monitor lice, coupled with their incredible bouncing power.
After running four or five hundred meters, the two of them had already been caught up by the lice swarm. The pursuers in the back even crossed the heads of the two and fell to the front, and then turned around and killed. Lin Ci sighed in his heart, in this kind of scene, it is estimated that only the giant incarnated by Wellington can steadily fight a bloody way.
At this moment, a large flame suddenly exploded in front of him, and many lice blew up the flames, and when they fell to the ground, they had become black and charred, and the corpse was still surrounded by flames.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was happening, but he could feel that the lice swarm was obviously a little chaotic. Some of the lice turned and pounced backwards, as if their * rear was being attacked by a fierce enemy. Seeing this situation, Lin Qi didn't know how to take advantage of it, and immediately beckoned Xiao Jiu to keep his feet and continue to kill forward.
As long as you break through the swarm of lice in the middle, you will be able to join the reinforcements of unknown origin. No matter who the other party is, now that they are facing the lice swarm together, they are temporary allies.
As Lin Ci expected, the rear of the lice swarm was being attacked by a fierce enemy, and there were constantly fireballs exploding, and occasionally a wave of fire was pushed flat, and the killing efficiency was much better than Lin Ci. When Lin Xi smashed a piece of giant lice, he saw a burning figure.
The man was wrapped in flames, and he calmly raised his hand to release fireballs, but it was the priest in the black falcon who controlled the flames.
Just beside Bello, a petite figure flashed out from time to time, and every time this figure flashed, a swarm of lice must have been bombarded. After flashing, he returned to Father Berrow's side, and the man seemed to be in a calm and relaxed manner, and it was the woman who had fought Gilles on the ship.
