Chapter 9: The Scorpion Swarm

Flashlight to the distance, scared my hair upside down, hundreds of scorpions actually poured into this narrow corridor, although we wore the special clothes of the seventh master, but for this number of scorpions I estimate that it will not play a big role, at this time I have only one thought in my heart, that is, run!

I just turned around and tried to run backwards, only to find that there were also dense scorpions behind me, which looked more than the scorpions in front of me.

At this time, the most calm is still the seventh master, after all, it is the old Jianghu, I saw him take out the torch from his bag, take out a lighter and light it, and then said to everyone, "Light the torch, this scorpion should be afraid of fire!" ”

In the face of this situation, I was already frightened, almost lost the ability to think, instinctively picked up the torch in the backpack and lit it, after doing these actions, the dense scorpion has crawled to a place only two meters away from me, I closed my eyes in fright, kept waving the torch in front of me, while silently chanting the Bodhisattva blessing in my heart, in just a few seconds, I almost prayed to all the Bodhisattvas I knew, praying not to let these scorpions jump up.

After about three seconds, I didn't feel any pain in my body, and then I opened my eyes, only to see a large number of scorpions hovering less than a meter outside of me, and did not rush up, it seems that they are really afraid of fire.

I and the seventh master side by side, the torch kept waving, Huzi and Huanzi and the two of us back to back, we have been surrounded by this scorpion layer by layer, seeing this situation, I secretly screamed in my heart that it is not good, although this scorpion is afraid of flames, it did not rush up for a while, but it did not retreat, and when the torch is burned, this scorpion must be swarmed up, at that time, there is really no Bodhisattva who can bless me.

"Seventh Master, what should I do?" In this critical situation, I can only hope that the crow will be able to find a way.

The seventh master kept waving the torch in his left hand, and the iron hook in his right hand groped in the backpack behind him for a long time, and he was also sweating in a hurry, and finally shouted, "Huanzi, Lao Bai, take the flare gun, take out the flare gun!" ”

Huanzi reacted very quickly, and took out a flare gun, "Seventh Master, what do you want a flare gun for?" ”

"I shout one, two, three, you two shoot at the scorpion swarm together, remember, close your eyes! Shoot the flare twenty meters away, or we'll kill ourselves! Don't stop with the torch in hand. ”

After the seventh master shouted three times, I shot at the scorpion group with Huanzi, and then dared to close my eyes hurriedly, firing signal flares at such a close distance, the strong light was very dazzling, and I felt that my eyeballs were going to be blinded through my eyelids, followed by a rolling heat wave, this old-fashioned signal flare had a very high initial ignition temperature, and the temperature in the center was as high as 700 °C, and I only heard a scorpion chirping scream.

About ten minutes later, I only felt the pain in my eyes, just about to slowly open my eyes, tears came down, I kept dancing the torch in my hand, while rubbing my eyes, I wanted to see how much the scorpion was burned to death, my eyes just recovered, look forward, the signal flare still has a glimmer, through the last glimmer of the signal flare, see a dead body of a scorpion around the signal flare, the rest of the scorpions seem to be afraid of the power of the signal flare, has receded without a trace, A smell of burnt hair filled the entire corridor.

Huzi sniffed the air around him and said, "Hey, don't say it, brothers, the protein content of this scorpion is quite high, I'll catch some when I go back, fry it in the oil pan, and make snacks for my brothers." Huzi said and inhaled hard with his nose, I really don't know how he liked the taste.

I didn't bother to talk to the tiger, and I was careful to be on guard, and the devil knew if the scorpion would rush out again.

"Seventh Master, where did this scorpion come from?" Huanzi took the torch and looked carefully at the wall of the corridor.

Hearing Huanzi say this, I also wondered in my heart, this corridor is very well sealed, and there is tamped yellow mud between the brick joints, where did this scorpion come in?

"In this corridor, there must be a passage connecting to other places, it should be that we triggered the mechanism just now to open the secret door of the passage, this scorpion retreated so fast, the secret door must not have been closed yet, let's find it quickly!" The seventh master held the torch and walked forward.

We hurriedly followed, in this strange corridor, I don't want to stay for a minute, I really don't want to see this kind of scorpion in my life, although now the scorpions have retreated, some of the scorpions on the ground that were burned by the heat are not yet dead, turning over, screaming and shaking.

We carefully walked around the scorpions, which were still struggling, and walked cautiously all the way, and after walking for less than five minutes, we saw a secret door.

The Seventh Master looked down and said, "That's where the scorpion came out, and I think there is an identical secret door in the opposite direction." ”

I hunched over, picked up the torch and took a careful photo, and found that this secret door is square, only about 20 centimeters high, more than enough for a group of scorpions to pass through, but people can't pass, seeing this secret door, the tiger scolded "Damn, this, what should I do?" Can't the fuck get by? ”

I glanced at Huzi, then at the secret door, and said to Huzi, "What the hell do you think?" Don't say that we can't get through this secret door now, even if it is a secret door that can be passed, do you dare to go in? It's definitely a scorpion nest inside! ”

Huzi's body twisted, and his face was stubborn, "Then my tiger grandfather also has to go in and break in." ”

I don't bother to pay attention to him, he is just too fat, too thin.

Qi Ye squatted down, carefully observed this secret door, took out a glow stick, twisted it in his hand, and threw it into the secret door, the glow stick crossed in mid-air, only to see that this is a sealed stone room, the illumination range of the light stick is limited, I can't see how big this stone room is, but the place where the light stick crosses flashes out of the white expanse, take a closer look, it is all the white light reflected by the scorpion under the illumination of the light stick, I shivered coldly when I saw it.

"Fuck, there are so many scorpions, they won't rush out again, will they?" Huzi's crow's mouth, as soon as the words fell, those scorpions shook with the light stick falling on the ground, and the scorpions began to move again, and the rustling sound instantly came into my ears, and I was in a cold sweat when I heard it, and I secretly scolded Huzi a hundred times in my heart.

The seventh master gave Huan Zi a try, and the two of them put the torch at the entrance of the secret door together, and the scorpions who were about to come out saw the fire and turned back.

"Seventh Master, we have to hurry up, if this torch burns out, we will be finished." I'm anxious, although this torch is specially made by the Seventh Master, and it burns for a long time, there will always be a time when it will burn out, and at that time, this group of scorpions will rush out again, and it will be all over.

Huzi smiled, took out a flare gun, aimed at the secret door, and was about to pull the trigger, but was stopped by the seventh master: "What are you going to do?" ”

Huzi smiled at the seventh master and said, "Lao Tzu gave it a signal flare and turned all of them into roasted scorpions." ”

The seventh master's face sank, and he said, "Let's just use this equipment, the signal flare is one less shot, we don't know how big this tomb is, you can burn a lot of scorpions if you shoot out, but the scorpions inside will definitely rush out because they are afraid of the high temperature and strong light, and then we will be all finished." ”

When Huzi heard this, he was also trembling, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Seventh Master, you see, I didn't expect this brain." ”

I kicked Tiger in the ass, "You're a fucking dick, you know?" ”

Huzi scratched his head, probably because he realized how reckless his actions were just now, and he didn't reply when he heard me scolding him.

We searched around in the corridor for about ten minutes, and found a bluestone brick of different sizes, this time it was Huzi who found it first, he didn't press down without saying hello just now, but took two or three steps back, it was very much like a child who had done something wrong, and he had worked with him for so many years, and the first time I saw him like this, I really felt a little pity for him.

I took two steps forward, looked at this bluestone brick, and beat a drum in my heart, the mechanism here is so powerful, what if I press it wrong again? Will you die here? For a while, the chaotic thoughts went straight to my head, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, so I turned around and asked, "What should I do Seventh Master?" To press or not to press? ”

The Seventh Master shrugged, leaned his back against the wall, and said, "Don't wait to starve to death here?" ”

Hearing the Seventh Master say this, my heart was already half cold, thinking that this is gambling with my life, if I lose the gamble, maybe there will be some fatal mechanism, a strong crossbow and a dark arrow? Gas? In just a few seconds, countless thoughts were already flashing through my head.

Just when I was timidly hesitating, Huzi took two steps forward, and then pressed the mechanism down and said to me, "What do you want? It doesn't matter what kind of organ he is, press it and talk about it. ”

At the moment when the tiger pressed down, a seismic word engraved on the side of the bluestone brick was clearly revealed, although the time was very short, but all of us could see it clearly, at this moment as if time had stopped, everyone held their breath, full alert, waiting to meet the deadly mechanism this time.

In this case, I felt that the pores of my whole body were opened, and after a second, it was like a year, and I only heard my heart pounding, which lasted for about ten seconds, and it was still very quiet in the corridor, except for hearing my own heartbeat, the rest was the sound of tight breathing because of nervousness, and nothing seemed to happen.

At this time, Huzi smiled, "What's the matter, I'm still lucky." Saying that, he patted me on the shoulder, at this moment, Yongdao suddenly shook suddenly, scared me and Huzi fell a big ass squat, Huanzi also leaned around, subconsciously held on to the wall, this did not fall, I only felt that my tailbone was about to be broken, a piercing pain struck, I was sweating, but at this time, how could I care so much, I quickly stood up, only to hear the sound of clicking, as if it was behind me.
