Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Infinite Corridor
The stallion and I thought that the long knife was not easy to use here, so we used the sapper shovel to cut wildly, and swooh! The giant lice were sliced to death by us wielding a sapper shovel.
I wonder if these giant lice were stimulated by the smell of their own kind being killed, and they all converged on all of us like flat mines that were rapidly diving.
I can only roughly speculate now that after countless years of reproduction, they entered the knot point of the ancient tomb of the Changsam people by chance, and it is estimated that they found that this place is very suitable for breeding offspring, so they regarded this place as a nest.
No wonder the expression on the old man's face is so solemn, but unfortunately I don't have time to ask the old man in detail about the origin of these giant lice, otherwise I may be able to negotiate a countermeasure to get out of the current predicament.
My grandfather, stallion, Ah Xi, Lian Rui and a few others and I were fighting in the middle of the team, "Ah! No! Kill me, I don't want to be like that! From time to time, there were terrified cries from people attacking by giant lice, and it was better to ask for a painful death than to become a cripple who was paralyzed by a big bug lying on his back.
After biting a few giant lice, all of them have died because of their inability to move in the water, and there are only two or three mules left, and sometimes several giant lice can even be seen climbing on the back of a mule at the same time.
I saw a majestic mule whose upper body instantly turned into a skeleton, but not yet dead, kneeling in the water and wailing in pain.
Wu Tianliang and Pug didn't pretend to be cool now, they also had a solemn face and slapped the giant veined lice lurking in the way with the sapper shovel, these two people are good, much stronger than the good hands of the mule team in the same country, I remembered that the stallion said that these two people are not good, and I was a little more wary of these two people.
There are too many giant veined lice, Gangbu? That can only be used on flat ground, sand and grass, mud can barely be used, in the water? Don't be funny, I still want to save more energy to escape!
"Bang!" One of the mule team was physically exhausted, and while wielding a long knife without moving, he opened fire.
"Shhh One by one, the giant lice that were hit fell, but the sound of the gunfire stimulated more giant lice to rush towards the person who fired the shot, and in an instant his body was covered with insects, and the person kept wailing, struggling and scratching, trying to throw the giant lice out.
I could clearly see a pair of suction cups on the ventral surface of the head of the giant lice that were used to attach to people, a mouth spine to pierce the skin, and a tail spine curled up into the tail vertebrae.
However, it was useless to get rid of only one, and soon, there was another victim under the sting.
"Don't shoot! Slash with a knife! Hurry up, everyone! Ah Xi held the long knife in both hands and slashed.
Lotus is good and agile, but her stamina is lacking, and the stallion is now working as a flower messenger by Lotus's side.
"We can't walk! Flee! "Leave us alone, everyone, let's shoot the bugs together and buy time for the dragon king!" "Good! If I get crawled up by bugs, give me a good time! "The men of the Yi family who are walking behind in the mule team are not afraid of death!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Dense gunfire filled the grave tunnel, "Shhh Hiss~"A picture that makes people with dense phobia unbearable appeared, the giant veined lice poured out of the nest, the number of dense giant veined lice almost filled the waters around them, and the insects gradually piled up above the water surface, and the number was still increasing, until the insect wall composed of the giant veined lice collapsed towards them, and the last scene I could see was that the men of the mule team tightly hugged the mules that accompanied us all the way, and worked hard and made great contributions.
After we knew their plans in the front, it was useless to be sad and anxious, we wanted to go back to save them, but reason told us that we couldn't go back, so we would only explain everything here.
Lian Rui couldn't bear it and wanted to go back to help, but Ah Xi's hoarse roar came: "I~we~go~!" The stallion grabbed Lotus's arm tightly, stopping Lotus's urge to go back.
"Lianrui sister, death is lighter than a feather, heavier than Mount Tai, their sacrifice today will surely become a legend of a new generation of Yizhai heroes! Let's go! "The stallion was right this time.
"Axi, you guys go quickly!" "Bang!" It was the final roar of the mule team heroes who were overwhelmed by the giant lice, and before they were incapacitated, they pulled the trigger and relieved each other of the pain that was worse than death.
While most of the giant lice were attracted to it, I, Grandpa, the stallion, and Lian Rui held back the great grief in our hearts, and followed Ah Xi, who was holding a torch in the front, and ran for his life.
While I tried my best to move forward, I suddenly wanted to see how Wu Tianliang and Pug were doing, but there was no trace of them, could it be that they were killed by giant veins in the chaos? Death is death, anyway, I don't like them.
Then the five of us have been walking in this dark cemetery, running, and suddenly I feel that my steps have become much lighter, and I noticed that the water in the graveyard has become much shallower, and now it is just just submerging my ankles, which is really strange, I don't feel like I am running up the slope, why is the water getting shallower and shallower?
There are basically no swarms of giant lice here, and the occasional one or two is not worth mentioning for those of us.
"Come and help! There seems to be an exit here! Wu Tianliang's voice came from the front.
It turned out that they ran to the front to find the exit first, and these two people didn't work very hard when they killed the giant vein lice, but they were quite focused on escaping.
After we heard Wu Tianliang shouting, we quickly ran in the direction where the voice came from, and as we ran, Ah Xi said in a low voice: "Be careful of these two people, they ran in the water just now, faster than all of us." ”
After hearing this, we all felt a pang in our hearts, and our hearts raised our vigilance against these two people again, but now we are all trapped in this tomb at the same time, no matter what their purpose is, at least they are not enemies now, just watch their words and listen to their deeds, no matter how powerful the two of them are, they will definitely not be able to beat the five of us.
This seems to be the end of the burial tunnel that connects the knots, and a wall stands in front of us. Wu Tianliang and Pu Ge were digging a place in the corner of the wall with a sapper shovel.
"This place has been eroded by water for a long time, and everyone should dig it together, and it should be able to dig through." Wu Tianliang wiped the sweat on his forehead, shook his hand and said.
He was right, even if the man in the long shirt could build the entire ancient tomb as solid as gold, it would not be able to withstand the corrosion of thousands of years, and he could not imagine that someone would avoid the entrance of the main gate of the tomb and blow up the knot point in.
"My day, you are a thief who runs fast, we are equivalent to helping you break the queen, now Ma Ye is tired and wants to rest, you dig first." The stallion is not stupid, now that the physical strength of a few of us is exhausted, let's dig the passage again, in case Wu Tianliang and Pug have any bad intentions when digging through, it will be too discordant.
Wu Tianliang and Pu Ge looked at each other for a moment, did not refute, and continued to dig them.
"Whew! It's finally time to take a break. "I sat on the floor with my back against the wall, and my grandfather and the others sat on the ground to rest.
"What about the rest of the mule team?" Wu Tianliang doesn't open any pot.
"They're all dead." Ah Xi said three words simply, and Lian Rui remembered those magnificent pictures, and her eyes turned red and she began to cry.
Yes, they are all clansmen who are like brothers in the village, whether they are killing the corpse marrow mother worm, when they are being chased by the beetle snake, or in the battle with the giant vein lice in the tomb, they are not afraid of sacrifice, knowing that they are dead, but none of them flinch and are afraid, real warriors!
"Damn, Wu Tianliang, your name is very good, it's really unconscionable, the mule team is dead in order to buy time for us! When we were fighting bloodily, you fucking slipped away with this Thai friend who couldn't let out a fart with this three-stick mallet! Lian Rui cried, and the stallion was the first to refuse.
At this time, Pu Ge actually spoke rarely: "In the situation just now, except for people who are really good, everyone else is a burden, even if you can pass the insect level, sooner or later you will die if you enter it, and it is a good thing to get rid of it as soon as possible." ”
"What did you say?" Ah Xi angrily rushed up and grabbed Pug's collar and asked, "You're trying it again!" ”
Pug was not afraid to look at Ah Xi with a cold gaze.
Wu Tianliang saw that Pu Ge and Ah Xi were confronted, he didn't know what he thought, and he didn't step forward to dissuade him, and continued to dig his wall.
"Pug's words aren't entirely wrong." Grandpa spoke.
"Dragon King!" Ah Xi let go of Pug, saying that he didn't quite understand why Grandpa would say that.
"I'll have time to explain to you the origin of those giant lice." Grandpa paused and continued: "The giant louse is a parasite that existed in ancient times, it is an extremely evil creature, it will fall into a deep sleep when there is no food, and it can survive for many years, if there is food, as you can see, it can suck the human spinal cord out, but that's not all, after absorbing the spinal cord, the tail sticks out of the tail spinal spine, plus the suction cup in the abdomen, since then it has become like the human spinal cord in vitro, instead of the spinal cord to survive on the back of the human body, the parasitic person loses the ability to walk, At the same time, the human spine will continue to secrete new spinal cords, and the giant lice will continue to suck these newly produced spinal cords until they lay eggs inside the human spine, and the giant lice will fall off from the human body and die, but the person who is filled with eggs will continue to bear the pain of the hatched larvae of the giant lice until they die. This kind of insect is not easy to pose a threat to people individually, mainly because it is a large number, even if a large group of people are entangled, they will hate it on the spot. ”
When I heard this, I thought to myself, no wonder the old man's face was so ugly just now.
"Damn, if I become like this, I'd rather die." The stallion couldn't help but say.
Then he said to Ah Xi: "Ah Xi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I definitely didn't mean to offend the heroes of the mule team. ”
Ah Xi didn't get angry this time, but his expression became very lonely, and he understood that maybe death was really a relief for the mule team.
"Everyone, can you help dig together, this wall is just a little corroded on the outside, I didn't expect it to be so thick inside." Wu Tianliang said.
I saw that he was sweating and steaming, as if he had just come out of the coal kiln, and I was almost rested, and was about to pick up the sapper shovel to help, but the stallion raised his hand to stop me.
"Dig a ball, this hole is almost dug up, just blow it up!" The stallion made a suggestion to save energy, "Hehe, I'm afraid of an accident in the graveyard, just in case, I took a lot of things with me when I was on it, and my big backpack is waterproof!" ”
"This little brother, why didn't you say it earlier if you have explosives? It is a waste of physical strength to dig for so long in vain. Wu Tianliang couldn't laugh or cry.
"You didn't ask, you can't blame me." The stallion clasped the back of his head with both hands, and he was ready to go.
Under the resentful gaze of Wu Tianliang and Pug, the two "black men", Ah Xi went into the hole in the wall and arranged the explosives.
"Boom!" It was blown out of the hole in the wall of a half-crouched adult, and a cold wind blew through the hole that made us shiver for a while.
Even if you can pass through the nest and go up to the ground, there are still beetles waiting for you, we don't hesitate at all, go into the hole one by one, I don't know what will be waiting for us inside?
The stallion volunteered to take the lead, and he climbed in with a wolf's eye flashlight in his mouth, and he crawled back in a few moments.
"it, it's not a tomb over there, it's empty, I don't know how high the ground is from the other side of the wall! I almost fell straight down! "This is a stallion discovery.
We took out the hiking ropes, lanyard nails, put snow chains on our shoes, chose the largest stone among the collapsed stones, fastened the thick nylon rope to it, and began to go down one by one.
The rope is only 200 meters long, so hopefully to the end.
Liuwei ancestors blessed, this time the road was safe, no monsters appeared, we carefully groped down for nearly a hundred meters, and finally reached the ground.
The tomb here is much drier than just now, there is no smell of sludge, the air is quite normal, there are some runes and other reliefs carved around the tomb, I took the torch and everyone else, stretched out and shook it left and right, there are roads on both sides, should I go that way?
Grandpa is observing those rune carvings, I'm so tired, I want to rest and rest, with the old man here, I really don't want to do these nerve-wracking things.
"Good grandson, come and have a look with me." Grandpa spoke.
I had to go up and look at these runes with the old man, "Isn't this the rune of the Qimen Bagua Array?" I asked the old man.
"That's right, this is one of the strongest maze formations in Taoism, but it can't help but be a master of the Qimen Formation, it won't be so easy." Grandpa was a little puzzled.
I said: "Dongfang Jia Yi Mu is against Mao, and the injured door is against the four green dragons; Western Gengxin Jin against unitary, shocking door against two white tigers; The fire in the south is against the noon, and the Jingmen is against the three vermilion birds; The northern non-deuce water pair, the Humen pair the Kan Liuxuanwu; The southeast five Xun Du Men are against Tatsumi, and the Northeast Seven Gen Shengmen are against Yin Chou; The southwest Bakun death door is against the undeclared, and the northwest is open to Wuhai. It's so simple, grandpa, why don't we rest for a while and start breaking the formation? ”
Grandpa took out the compass, "Well, it's good, the compass is back to normal, let's break it first, let's start from the left." ”
Seeing that he was about to start breaking the formation, the stallion blurted out excitedly: "Six micro and one out, there is no tomb in the world!" ”
Before the words fell, we suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound from all different directions in this unknown wide cemetery, and disappeared after a while, I was wondering if there was an earthquake here, and suddenly I heard my grandfather shouting: "Not good! We've been tricked! ”
