Chapter Eighty-Five: The Strange Beetle
This is a hell of a mess!
"Why are they all open, are they all living creatures?" Ge Zhuang was the closest to those stone statues, and he was the first to react, and immediately shouted and jumped under the stone statues, and climbed one after another, approaching me and Lao Zhong.
At this time, the old bell suddenly said, "Little pumpkin, something is wrong, it is impossible for the ancients of two thousand years to have such an ingenious carving process, you see that the proportions of these stone statues are completely cast according to the size of life, this level of craftsmanship, is it possible for them to achieve this level of craftsmanship?" ”
Lao Zhong's words immediately reminded me, sure enough, there is a problem with these stone statues placed here, maybe the stone statues are all zongzi!
Just when my heart was shocked, and I didn't know how to deal with it, I only heard a tight turning sound in my ears, and before I could react, the old bell had already roared and knocked me down, "Be careful, lie down!" ”
I didn't have any mental preparation at all, and pressed the old bell on the ground at once, and at the same time, more dense machine bracket rotation sounded, and there was a dense "click" sound in the belly of the mountain, and then I looked up, but saw that each stone statue opened its third eye at this time, and the black hole in the eye socket was hollow, and with the rotation of the machine, it shot straight dark arrows.
"There's a mechanism here!" I yelled in fright, and at the same time, the dense crossbows above my head were already shooting down on us, although these crossbows were not as powerful as bullets, but hundreds of stone statues in a row had dark arrows in their bodies at the same time, and the scene was still terrifying.
The three of us could only lie on the ground nearby, rolling and running backwards continuously, Ge Zhuang reacted half a beat slower, and shot those dark arrows, and suddenly let out a muffled snort, I was frightened, but I heard him roaring in my ears, "It's okay, the fat man has rough skin and thick meat, how can these broken crossbows withstand me?" ”
Seeing more and more arrows flying towards us, we could no longer resist them, so we fled into the rocky peaks in the belly of the mountain, and the continuous random arrows slapped against the rocks, making a sound as dense as raindrops, which frightened me and Lao Zhong into a cold sweat.
Ge Zhuang then rolled over and rolled to my feet, and Lao Zhong and I hurriedly squatted down to help the person up, and asked, "Fatty, where were you shot just now?" ”
Ge Zhuang turned his back, pouted his big belly, and said that you can help see if there are arrows stuck in the fat man's buttocks.
I said no, these dark crossbows have been stored for too long, and they have long been corroded by rust, and they are not sharp. It is precisely because of this that Ge Zhuang was able to escape, if these mechanisms still maintain the power of thousands of years ago, I am afraid that after being hit by an arrow, they will become hedgehogs.
However, although the dark crossbow did not penetrate Ge Zhuang's ass, it still hurt very much on his body, Ge Zhuang's pants were rotten, revealing his hairy thighs, and there were all cyan bruises under the leg hair.
Fortunately, the wound where he broke the skin was not deep, and we went down to check it, and we felt that it should not be poisonous, so we breathed boldly.
The third eye of the stone statue is a mechanism, if anyone touches it, it will inevitably cause a large-scale arrow feather, but we are very careful not to touch these stone statues, only Ge Zhuang climbed on it alone to pry the third eye of the stone statue, which almost caused a catastrophe.
I slapped Ge Qiang on the cheek and said dead fat, you honestly confess, did you commit the vice of opportunism again just now?
Ge Zhuang said I really don't, little pumpkin, can't you still believe me? I had been squatting there just now looking at these stone statues, and after looking at them for a short time, I was fascinated by them, and I felt that the third eye seemed to be the same as the real thing, and I couldn't help but want to reach out and touch them. Later, when you called me, I realized that I had actually ridden to the top.
Ge Zhuang's words made me unable to distinguish the truth from the false, could it be that the third eye of the stone statue couldn't see it at all?
At this time, the old bell standing beside me suddenly said, "Little pumpkin, did you hear any sound?" ”
I said, "Where?" The old bell pointed to the crack in the stone behind us, and said that it came from here.
I quickly listened to it, and sure enough, when the surrounding environment was quiet, I immediately heard a "rustling" movement through the crack in the stone, like ants crawling on the ground - no, there is no way for ants to make such a big movement, a bit like a swarm of snakes.
Worst!
After discovering these sounds, my face suddenly changed greatly, grabbed Ge Zhuang and retreated to the side, in less than two seconds, a large black giant insect actually gushed out from the depths of the crack in the stone wall, wearing black armor, with the appearance of a beetle, but under the abdomen is covered with large and small gray spots, with a flashlight, it can reflect light!
Underneath the belly of these beetles, are they all eyes?
I've never seen such alien creatures, all the black beetles are about the size of half a fist of an adult, densely packed, even the stone walls are crawling all over the place, everywhere, the movements that the old clock heard before should be caused by them crawling on the rocks.
And now those beetles have begun to converge towards us, and at this moment most of the dark crossbows on those stone carvings have been shot, but in the third "eye" of the hole, there are large black insects crawling out, dense, like a layer of moving sand, densely crowded together, forming a tide of insects, and they are approaching our side.
I realized that this Miao Jiang is not easy to break through, in folk rumors, many ethnic minorities in Miao Jiang know how to use Gu worms, I haven't said I've seen these things before, and I haven't even heard of them, could it be the rumored Gu?
I turned pale with fright, and inadvertently raised my foot and kicked away those beetles fiercely, because they were all black when they got together, so I couldn't tell how many beetles there were, but what I didn't expect was that when my sect stepped on it, I found that the cortex of those beetles was extremely hard, and I couldn't kill them directly when I stepped on them with my foot!
"It's not good, this thing is Gu, it's likely to be highly poisonous!" The old bell's voice changed, "Stay away from them!" Fast! ”
Lao Zhong's instincts have always been very accurate, he said that this kind of monster may be poisonous, and it is most likely poisonous!
But now there is no way out, and the arrows outside are still flying. Seeing the corpse insects emerging more and more from the cracks in the stones, piling up in front of us, and constantly wriggling, the scene was so shocking that I was so disgusted that I wanted to vomit out the overnight meal just by seeing these dense piles of insects scurrying on the ground.
And this beetle also emitted this violent stench, I don't know how to describe it, in short, the rancid smell is so bad that people will faint when they take a sip.
