Chapter Forty-Six: Pansi Cave
When the black stone in our hands reached the position of not turning, there was a sliding sound in the middle of the stone door, and then it slid into the wall on both sides, and a boxy entrance appeared in front of us.
But after the stone door was opened, we only felt that the light could not reach it, as if it was absorbed, and we could only see a piece of black, and then within three seconds, a puff of black smoke began to pour out of the stone door, as if ink had entered the water.
"Beware of poison!" With a shout, all of us immediately covered our noses with our sleeves on guard, and then quickly lay on the ground.
Only Mo Ranchen did not lie down, but stood in the middle of the stone gate, coiled the Xuantie knife in his hand around his wrist in a chic circle, and then turned it like a stick, with the insignificant sense of balance of the handle.
I was dumbfounded, this is the real technical talent! The Xuantie knife fell into the hands of others, that is, a sharp weapon to kill demons, if it falls into my hands, I have to think it is heavy to chop ribs.
"What is this brother going to do?" Xiao Si, who had wrapped my wound before, was lying next to me, looking incomprehensible.
I asked him not to be angry, Mo Ranchen is not the one who is full of food and shows off his skills, he must have a purpose in doing this, let's be a layman, just look at it honestly.
The black smoke soon spread into Mo Zhanchen's "knife windmill", and we lay on the ground and began to feel nothing, and after a second or two, it was as if someone had thrown a handful of sand at us, and there was a rustling sound. I quickly closed my eyes and buried my head in my arms.
It took about half a minute before he felt completely calm, and the whirring sound of the Xuantie Sword in Mo Ranchen's hand also stopped.
I looked up, and it really felt like I had fought on the "battlefield", and my head was covered with sand-like things, and I stood up and shook and fell to the ground.
"What is this?" I shook the sand off like a dog. Squatting down and touching it with your hand, it was not pure black but a dark red color, and it was not a smoke-like thing, but a kind of insect with wings.
It looked the size of the first knuckle of my thumb, but its body was the size of a needle's eye, and the rest were transparent wings. Some are like chaos, with more skin and less flesh.
Now the insects that fall to the ground can hardly find a complete one, all of them are either missing arms and legs, or a few halves, and Mo Ranchen's knife work is really okay.
"How can this bug survive in a closed environment?" Hu muttered suspiciously.
I hurried up to him and asked, "Do you know this bug?" ”
He was not sure, and hissed, "I saw this thing once, when a professor told me that this is a butterfly that lives in hot areas and likes to suck the sap of plants. They live very long, some even for centuries. ”
"Similar, but not different." Mo Yanchen picked up a bug that was still alive, "Wing insects can't survive in this environment, this is a moss." ”
"Mosses?" I'm a little familiar with this name, but if I think about it, I've really seen it!
That was when I was only seven years old, and there were bloodsuckers in the village. But it's not the bloodsucking worms in the water, it's something like mosquitoes. But that thing is much more powerful than a mosquito, and it doesn't just suck blood into a bag and itch for a few days, but it causes a very serious bacterial infection. If you don't find someone in time, it can even be fatal.
Later, the villagers began to look for the source of this thing, wanting to see how the insect suddenly appeared. After a little bit of exploration, they finally tracked a few bugs to find their nest.
At first, people only saw that it was a black pitch slate gap, and when they dug it out, they found that it was actually a sarcophagus! However, this sarcophagus is very old, and no one in the village claimed it, so some elderly people said that they should open it and take a look, after all, human life is at stake, and the scourge should be eliminated.
As soon as I opened it, my God, it was really the sun and the moon without light, covering the sky and the sun, making people feel cold, and a piece of insects flew out. But...... After all, human beings are the kings at the top of the food chain, and the people who left the village got a few bottles of dichlorvos back, and within a month, all of them died......
Later, the old madman in the village had nothing to do to tease me and Kong Xian, so he told us about the worm. It is said that this insect feeds on moss on stones, and mostly lives in dark and damp corners, especially in coffins with missing holes. It is also said that after death, the cells that live will form a parasitic relationship with the bacteria on the body, so the insect originally grew from the corpse. It is even rumored that this insect is the soul of the deceased after it has been wiped out.
Looking closely at the insects in Mo Ranchen's hands, they are indeed very similar to what they saw when they were children. I turned my gaze to Kong Xian to see if he was impressed, but he didn't care about the worm and focused all his eyes on the stone gate.
After the insects disappeared, the scene inside the stone gate was very clear, and you could see the corridor inside by shining a flashlight inside. The corridor is not very spacious, and the stone gate in front of us is about the same width, and it is already the limit to accommodate three people side by side.
"How can the stone wall in here be green?" Xiao Si stretched out his head and poked inside, then went in directly and touched the wall, and said: "It's a bit like moss, but I haven't seen this kind of thing, and I scratch my hands when I touch it." ”
"Let's go, let's not waste time here." Hu greeted the other two he had brought, and walked into the corridor. Kong Xian also followed closely behind. I helped Lin Su and let Mo Dye the queen of the palace.
Before Xiaosi said that this moss scratches his hands, I don't believe it, this moss looks very soft, not like the texture of scraping hands. As soon as I touched it, good fellow, it was like a steel nail, and I wanted to scrape off a piece of skin from my hand.
However, it was not for nothing that I touched this hand. Some of the moss stuck to my hands, peeling away from the stone walls, revealing a dark red substance inside.
"What's in there?" I told the person in front of me to stop and peel off the moss to look at the wall.
I didn't expect that the more I looked at it, the more amazing it became, the wall seemed to paint a panorama of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with heavy colors, and the color was still rich and gorgeous after so long, but it was covered by moss and its grandeur.
I was still immersed in the "beauty" of this painting, but I was suddenly startled by the screams of Lin Su next to her, she seemed to be very afraid of the painting scroll in front of her. Obviously, he couldn't see with his eyes, but he seemed to see something terrifying, and he shrank back vigorously, until he was close to the stone wall behind him before stopping.
"Susu, what's wrong?" I looked at her inexplicably.
Without waiting for her to speak, Kong Xian said, "Everyone pay attention to the problem with this mural!" ”
At this time, Hu also discovered the problem, and scolded in a deep voice: "The prince's turtle grandson is really scheming, this place must have left us a trap, hurry up!" ”
As he spoke, Hu pointed to several locations in the mural, and I found that there were many spider patterns hidden in the mural, some of which only had a general outline, and some of which were even very realistic. It makes people feel very weird when they look at it, as if they deliberately hide a mystery here.
I hurriedly dragged Lin Su over, ready to follow the team in front of me, but I didn't expect that as soon as Lin Su left the stone wall behind, she brought down a whole piece of moss, revealing the true face of the stone wall behind her.
The blue-gray stone wall is full of soybean-sized holes, and when I shake it inside, I find that it is all golden spiders, and I don't know how many are densely packed.
"it!" I cursed and whispered to the front, "Hurry up!" We're in the Pansi Cave! ”
At this moment, a large number of spiders began to pour out from the stone wall next to us, and even the colorful murals began to peel off, showing round holes the size of soybeans. This spider is golden in color, with black and red lines on its body, and you can think of how poisonous it is with your toes. They haven't seen food in years, and today they look like they're going to boil us!
I'm still struggling, since the prince wants me to go to the palace, why do I have to make so many traps along the way, and her old man is not afraid that my life will be lower, so she will go directly to the palace of the king of Hades to find him. When I turned around, I found that the group of people had run out more than ten meters, leaving me directly behind.
"That's righteous!" I gritted my teeth and glared at their backs, then hurriedly raised my legs and chased after them.
Don't look at other people's spiders, but they have long legs, good guys, and it doesn't take a few seconds to reach the position of my heels, and if it goes on like this, I will have to be the meat in their mouths in less than a minute.
In front, Kong Xian helped Lin Su to run at the rear, and the speed was not slow, and the light of the flashlight was getting farther and farther away from me. I watched the spiders envelop me all over the place, and I was in a panic.
It was at this moment that I suddenly felt someone grab the back collar of my dress and pull it up to the top. When I looked up, it turned out to be Mo Zhanchen! There was an upward passage where he was, and I didn't know where it led, and I didn't have time to think about it now, but as soon as he dragged me up, I immediately took a medical cotton ball from my bag, dipped it in alcohol, lit it on fire, and threw it into the spider pile.
The spider was very dry, and it was ignited as soon as it touched the flames, and for an instant only a crackling sound was heard below, followed by a burning mush.
Glancing at the spiders struggling in the sea of fire, the two of us didn't dare to stay longer, so we hurriedly crawled towards the entrance of the passage.
The entrance to the passage was narrow at first, but it seemed to be much wider inside, and the angle of the slope was very gentle, so it was easy to climb up. We climbed in more than three meters away, and when I saw that the situation ahead was unknown, I lay down and took a breath, and then asked Mo Ranchen, "Do you know where our passage leads?" Now it is estimated that it will be difficult to catch up with them when they are separated. ”
Mo Ranchen said: "This place is hidden by the mechanism, I don't know where it leads, you can wait for me here, I'll go to the front and have a look." With that, he turned and tried to climb on.
I quickly reached out and grabbed his ankle and said, "Don't, don't, I'd better go with you." I don't want to be alone in this place, and when a spider queen comes out, who am I going to cry to? ”
