Chapter 529: Gu Worm Attack
Wang Chuyi's voice reminded me that the frequency of bubbles coming out of the muddy ground was getting faster and faster, and in a few places, a kind of black insect had already been drilled, with tentacles like needle tips on its head, and it was testing the surrounding situation.
When the nearest mercenary saw this bug, his face was bloodless with fright, and he quickly dodged away, presumably this time, they re-acquainted themselves with something more powerful than the gun in their hand. The mercenary captain quickly ran in the direction of the stone gate, and then hurriedly waved his hand at us, signaling us to pass.
When I arrived at the bottom of the stone gate, I suddenly found that in the middle of the stone gate, there was an eye-catching blood-red symbol carved into it!
"Why is this weird symbol again?" I frowned, and cursed in my heart, since I entered this ancient tomb, this strange symbol has appeared one after another, and every time I encounter this symbol, a series of dangers will occur, and now I feel a chill in my back when I see it.
"It's this symbol again!" The mercenary captain also shouted in surprise, with his years of combat experience, he should have been the person with the best concentration, but after seeing this series of deadly mechanisms, he was also full of fear of this symbol.
"Huzi, be careful, I'm afraid there are some mechanisms waiting for us behind this stone gate." I patted Huzi on the shoulder, at this time he was squatting on the ground, holding various tools in his hands, tinkering with the stone door in front of him, I saw that his hand movements were very neat, it seems that these days, he has been practicing hard to open the tomb door.
"Don't worry, I know in my heart, wait for this stone door to open, don't rush in first."
Soon, I heard a crisp "click", as if Huzi had opened a mechanism behind the stone door.
After hearing this voice, those mercenaries were all on alert, and the machine guns in their hands were also placed on their chests, and they all looked like they were facing a great enemy, and their tactical movements were more standard than one another.
"Don't be too nervous, just open the stone door, don't get in the way." Wang Chu looked at the mercenaries with a wary face, for fear that they would accidentally do something superfluous.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the stone gate in front of us collapsed, followed by a fishy black mist, which instantly engulfed our group.
"I'll wipe, don't breathe, put on a gas mask!" Huzi shouted and pulled out the gas mask behind his back.
Wang Chu and I were miserable, the tactical backpack was removed from the dead mercenaries by Huzi and given to us, although we knew that there must be gas masks inside, but it was not easy to find out accurately for a while.
Just when Wang Chu and I were in a hurry, someone suddenly walked up to me and stuffed a gas mask into my arms.
I looked up and saw that it was the mercenary captain, and at this dangerous juncture, he could even think that Wang Chuyi and I couldn't find gas masks!
In an instant, my favor for the mercenary captain in front of me has increased a lot, at least he is not as impersonal as the young owner.
But just as I was about to put the gas mask on, the black smoke had already cleared.
"Come quickly, disperse quickly, it doesn't seem to be a poisonous mist, take off your gas masks." I stood up and spoke.
At first, the mercenaries didn't believe me, until Huzi also took off the gas mask, and then he began to take off the gas mask on his head one after another.
Although the gas mask can resist poisonous gas, it is very obstructive to the view, in the ancient tomb, our aim has always been to not wear it, try not to wear it, so as not to touch any small mechanism, we can't see it.
Suddenly, I heard a swishing sound, right behind us, so frightened that I hurriedly turned around to look, this look didn't matter, all the Gu worms in the mud had crawled out, there were hundreds of them, and they were approaching our direction.
"I'm in trouble!" I screamed, like reaching for a torch in my tactical backpack and feeling empty.
It's not good, in order to measure the heavenly and earthly branches and the five elements gossip in the tomb before, I have used all the torches on my body!
"Huzi, get on the torch!" I shouted, and Huzi hurriedly lit the torch.
Then I grabbed a handful of rock candy from my pocket, heated it at the temperature of the torch, and threw it out just when the rock sugar was half-melting.
In nature, 99% of insects like sweet things, and they are also afraid of open flames, and I hope Gu insects are no exception.
After throwing the rock candy out, I poured some more gasoline on the ground and lit it with a torch.
I saw that those Gu worms only tentatively climbed forward a few steps, and after finding the high-temperature burning gasoline, they immediately stopped, and then crawled towards the handful of rock candy I threw out.
Seeing this, I let out a sigh of relief, this rock candy should be able to resist for a while, and the top priority is to get out of here quickly, otherwise once the wall of fire formed by the gasoline is burned out, or the rock candy is licked clean, then we will definitely be the next target of the Gu worm.
"Lao Bai, look, there's something ahead!" Huzi patted me on the back and motioned for me to look inside the stone door.
I turned around and saw that behind the stone gate was an extremely wide passageway, with a dozen stone statues of soldiers scattered on both sides, and a wooden carriage in the middle, but due to the passage of time, part of the carriage had been corroded and somewhat tilted.
"Be careful! I guess there's a trap in there! I gave a careful reminder and began to walk forward.
Huzi followed me closely, and it was very cold in this passage, and a cool breeze blew from the end of the tunnel.
"Plummeting temperatures?" Wang Chuyi frowned, and the expression on his face was very nervous.
In the ancient tombs, there are only two reasons that can cause the temperature to plummet, one is the huge ice layer, and the second is the heavy yin qi.
And the chance of ice in the place where we are is is not very large, it is likely that we have encountered a burial chamber with extremely heavy yin qi.
I took Wang Chuyi's hand and walked forward cautiously, the bricks in this passage are very densely paved, basically one foot down, you can step on several pieces, I can't help frowning, all along, the ancient tomb bricks we encountered are large, a piece will be at least one square meter as big, but now the bricks that appear in this corridor are only a few centimeters at most, densely packed and look like a chessboard of Go.
"Everyone be careful, watch your feet, don't step on the mechanism!" Huzi turned around and shouted at the mercenaries behind him.
This kind of dense blue brick paved road will definitely hide a mechanism, and the purpose is to let us step on it as soon as we step down.
Sure enough, as soon as Huzi's words fell, he heard a crisp click, and a mercenary stepped on the mechanism.
"Who? Where's the sound? Huzi looked behind him.
I only heard a scream, half of the mercenary who stepped on the mechanism had become bloody and blurred, and the base of his thigh was still rubbing white smoke, and a mercenary wanted to rush over to save him, but was stopped by the quick-eyed mercenary captain.
"Don't move! You're only going to hurt him in the past! ”
When I heard the mercenary captain's words, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, it seems that this mercenary captain already knows the power of the ancient tomb mechanism.
"The captain is right, you can't save him, you can only send him to death if you run over, and if you step on other mechanisms again, everyone will play together." Wang Chuyi looked at the mercenary and said with a frown.
"Captain...... He ...... "The mercenary who was pulled by the captain struggled, still trying to save people, but the mercenary captain sighed, shook his head, and said, "Remember when we were on the battlefield in North Africa?" Chemical weapon! ”
The mercenary turned his head to look, his face full of shock "Chemical weapons? ”
I have to admire the sight of the mercenary captain, the mechanism that the mercenary stepped on is indeed something similar to a chemical corrosive, but it is more powerful and more corrosive, it is a strong acid in nature, not only corrosive, but also produces high temperature in the process of corrosion, and even the special protective clothing can't stop it.
"Let's go, the Gu worms are catching up!" At this time, Huzi shouted, only to see that the black pressure Gu worms behind him had already crawled into the passage, although the crawling speed of these Gu worms was not fast, but the purpose was very strong, they were coming at us! The mercenary who had been hit by the trap was already crawling with Gu worms.
These Gu worms drilled into the cracks, and their eyes, nostrils, and ears were almost all drilled into the Gu worms, and then a creaking sound of bones was heard, and the mercenary, like the old K before, also began to twist his body, in an extremely uncoordinated posture, trying to struggle to stand up.
I secretly screamed in my heart, this corridor is full of mechanisms, if the corpse changes at this time, not to mention whether he can beat him, as long as he runs two more steps and steps on a few mechanisms, it will be enough for us to drink a pot.
And at this time, the mercenary captain was more nervous than us, he had close contact with the old K before, and he had a deep understanding of the power of this corpse zongzi.
I saw him wave his hand and say, "Hurry up, hurry!" ”
In this tense situation, there is no need for him to say, Huzi and I also want to hurry up, but the dense square bricks under our feet are really not able to walk away, and every step we take, we must calculate the number of square bricks around, the direction, and the density, so as to deduce which bricks have no mechanism under them.
"Let's go! What's the point? The mercenary captain kept urging, just because the corpse mercenary struggled faster and faster.
"Damn, Lao Tzu also wants to go, but the key is to figure out where the mechanism is, otherwise this foot will follow, and Lao Tzu will follow in his footsteps." Huzi cursed, no matter how the mercenary captain roared, he didn't take another step forward.
When I saw the sweat oozing from Huzi's forehead, I knew that the mechanism in front of me was even more powerful, and the calculation and deduction methods had become more complicated, otherwise with Huzi's ability, it would be impossible for Huzi to stand in place for so long in such a critical situation.
