Chapter 792: The Fetal Corpse
Squatting down the slippery ramp, I couldn't turn my head to look at him, I could only ask, "What's the situation?" ”
Liu Shangang: "There's something ahead. ”
Me: "What's there?" ”
Liu Shangang: "I can't see clearly. ”
Here I was talking to Liu Shangang when I heard a sharp "clanging" sound farther behind me, as if something was colliding with the ground all at once.
I thought that the movement was caused by Liang Houzai, and immediately asked, "Houzai, what are you doing?" ”
Liang Houzai: "It's not me. ”
The intermittent sharp crash had reached my ears, and I looked sideways a little, and I saw a bright silver object illuminated by the light of Liu Shangang's flashlight.
It was like a coin or a metal ball, and it was bouncing down the ramp, making a "clanging, clanging" sound every time it came into contact with the ramp.
After a moment, Liu Shangang's voice sounded: "It's a coin, someone threw a coin into the ramp." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, I suddenly felt a loss of strength under my feet, and immediately after, my body began to slide uncontrollably.
I was obviously squatting very steadily, why did I suddenly start to slide, thinking to myself, I almost subconsciously reached out and touched the ground, and there was a very slippery feeling on the palm of my hand immediately.
At this time, Liu Shangang's voice came from the mask again: ", grease is starting to bubble on the ground!" ”
As he shouted, the light of the flashlight fell on the ground at my feet, and I saw streams of oil coming out of the cracks in the stone bricks, and it was the grease I had just touched.
It must have been the coin that triggered the trap here.
The speed of the slide was getting faster and faster, and the grease of the grease also made it impossible for me to keep my body in a fixed direction, and my body began to spin as I slid down, and when my face was facing the top of the ramp, I could only see darkness, but I knew that Renqing must be hiding in the shadows that the light did not illuminate.
My first reaction was anger, which had made me forget about the growing corpse gas under the ramp. We were calculated by Renqing again, and even Liu Shangang didn't even notice that he was following us.
Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai are the same as me, and their bodies are also sliding rapidly while spinning.
The faster and faster rotation had already made me a little dizzy, and while I could still see the surrounding situation clearly, I immediately unfolded my body and lay down on the ramp, increasing the contact area with the ramp, my body finally stopped rotating, and the speed of the slide was a little slower, Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai were gradually approaching me.
When Liu Shangang touched my shoulder, I first pressed against him with one hand, then pulled out the green steel sword and stabbed it violently, stabbing it into the stone bricks beneath me.
When the sword was drawn, the green steel sword was very sharp, and the blade pierced the ground in an instant, and after that, the blade of the sword began to slowly change again, so as to slowly reduce our sliding speed, I could feel the shoulders sink a little more, and it seemed that Liang Houzai was also pressing on Liu Shangang.
With the help of the Qinggang Sword, the three of us finally came to a slow stop.
I held the hilt of the green steel sword in my armpit to make sure that everyone would not continue to slide, and then pressed the button on the mask and said to Liu Shangang, "How many climbing nails have been prepared?" ”
Liu Shangang: "More than a dozen." ”
I said, "We've got to figure out how to get up." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, there was another sharp crash above the ramp: ding-dang-
Not again!
The crash only occurred three or four times, and then disappeared inexplicably.
I felt something was wrong, so I asked Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai: "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Shangang replied "I don't know", and Liang Houzai didn't respond to me for a long time.
His reaction made me even more worried, and I asked, "Thick load?" ”
After a second or two of silence, Liang Houzai's shout rang out in the mask: "Go down, quick!" It's a fetal corpse! ”
As he spoke, I could already feel the ground shaking slightly, so I didn't dare to think about it, so I quickly pulled out the green steel sword and quickly slid towards the bottom of the ramp.
The tremor on the ground became clearer and clearer, and in a few seconds, there was a crisp sound of "boom" on the earthen wall beside me, and Liu Shangang's flashlight shook when he slid it, and with the scattered lights, I saw that the ear wall had broken a small opening with the thickness of an index finger, and then a large number of things similar to the shape of iron wire came out of it.
This is the fetal corpse, which is very similar in appearance to the nematode, the only difference is that the fetal corpse is thicker, and when it wriggles, the movement is more rigid than that of the nematode.
This thing is one of the three major fetal corpses, and a single sting by it is enough for us to drink a pot.
The walls on both sides had in the shape of a hornet's nest in a very short time, and a large number of fetal corpses had gushed out of them, and they had smelled the scent of the living, and they writhed frantically towards us, and they looked like iron bars that had been bent by some strange force.
I immediately released the Qi field of the Black Water Coffin, and quickly spread this Qi field until it completely enveloped Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai.
These fetal corpses are not like most evil corpses, they don't seem to have a natural fear of the black water corpse coffin, and they still keep rushing towards us, but when they enter the coverage of the black water corpse coffin, the corpse qi on their bodies will be dispelled in an instant, and the worm bodies will fall off the wall and cover our bodies.
It was the first time I had come up close and personal with these corpses, and it was the first time I had experienced the extremely bitter smell of them, and even though I kept my mouth closed, the disgusting smell reached my taste buds through my nostrils, causing me to retch. Not even an air-purifying mask could stop the smell.
Especially when I think that they are essentially nematodes after corpses, the acid in my stomach is churning for a while. Thankfully, we were all wearing air masks, and I didn't want this stuff to get in my mouth.
Many people should know that this parasite grows in rivers and ponds, and the eggs produced by the female hatch larvae in the water, and if other insects are unfortunate enough not to eat these larvae, they will become the host of the larvae. The larvae will continue to develop in the host's body and can gradually control the host's behavior, when the larvae grow into adult mouths, they will control the host to seek water, they will force the host to commit suicide in the water, and then burrow out of the host's body.
The host of nematode larvae is generally arthropods such as praying mantis and locusts, and if you think about how big a praying mantis is, the nematodes parasitic in their bodies can reach a length of one meter. The thought of the death of the praying mantis, the wireworms burst out of their corpses, writhing their wire-like bodies and swimming in the water one by one, sent chills through my heart.
As more and more corpses fell on us, we slid more and more slowly, and if we continued like this, we would be crushed to death on the ramp, if not by the corpse.
Liu Shangang's flashlight was also taken off, and the lamp head was squeezed by a large number of corpses, and the light became bright and dim.
As the flashlight rolled past me, I briefly glanced at the stone wall on the right and saw a large number of stone rings appearing on it.
As the flashlight's beam quickly faded away, for a very short time I could only make out that they were stone rings, about the size of a discus in the men's event.
The corpse qi below the ramp is still very strong, but the corpse qi above the ramp is very weak, in other words, there are more fetal corpses waiting for us below, and most of the corpses above have been killed by the Qi field of the black water corpse coffin.
I now feel the pressure on my chest that is about to exceed the limits of my patience, and if we continue like this, we will surely die.
I gritted my teeth, and with all the strength of my body, I poked out a hand from the mass of corpses that weighed me down, and by this time I could no longer see the stone rings, and I could only reach for the wall by feeling.
The speed of the slide was still not slow, I could only carefully keep my palm close to the wall, and soon my fingers rubbed against something, and when the fingertips collided with the thing, there was a stiff pain in the first phalange, and there was a very slippery touch.
The stone rings I saw just now seemed to have very smooth edges, and I think I just came across one of them.
Holding back the pain in my fingers, I tried to make my fingers touch the second and third stone rings, because there were so many corpses on our bodies, and the grease on the ground could not make us slide faster, I felt that we should be moving at a relatively constant speed now, and at this speed, every second or so, I could touch a stone ring.
I took a deep breath and silently counted the time in my mind, a second, and made a quick move. First I felt something touch my palm, then I felt the tendons on my wrist be pulled violently, and I knew that the stone ring was already hanging in the palm of my hand, and I immediately curled up my fingers and squeezed them violently.
I did grab the stone ring this time, but I ignored the power of inertia.
The moment I grabbed the stone ring, I felt the tendons on my entire arm be straightened, and then I felt sharp pain in my wrist, shoulder, and elbow at the same time.
I immediately loosened the stone ring and continued to slide down the ramp.
If I hadn't let go, my arm would have really been pulled off.
I still kept the Qi field of the black water corpse coffin constantly diverging, more and more corpses were killed, the weight on my body became more and more, the pressure on my chest became more and more intense, and finally my back began to rattle, and I could no longer breathe normally at that time.
Just when I thought I was about to finish, the oppression suddenly disappeared in an instant, and at the same time, my back was empty, and my body plummeted for some distance.
I reacted immediately, and now we have left the end of the ramp and fallen into the abyss.
There was a light source nearby, and I could see the light coming from the side in the afterglow, but I couldn't determine the color of the light for a moment.
I resisted the discomfort caused by the suffocation before, quickly settled my mind, and quickly thought of a way out of the difficulty.
Through the light of unknown color, I saw that there were also a large number of stone rings on the stone wall behind me, but I was getting farther and farther away from that stone wall now......
Thinking of this, I reached out and grabbed a corpse that had been dried up, and looked up at the top of my head.
Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang both fell, and a large number of fetal corpses were attached to the two of them.
I clenched the corpse in my hand, and then raised my foot and kicked on the corpse that was pressing on me, kicking hard.
The corpses that were circling together were immediately kicked out by me, and I also relied on the reaction force to move towards the vertical stone wall, and there was no movement on the side of Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, and I suspected that the two of them were most likely unconscious.
I don't know how to use a whip, and in my early years, I only used a steel rope to wrap over the branches on the cliff, but at this juncture I had no other choice, I quickly glanced at Liu Shangang's general position, and then struggled to throw out the fetal corpse in my hand, my luck was not bad, the narrow body of the fetal corpse crossed a long arc in the air, and accurately wrapped Liu Shangang's ankle, and then I pulled violently, Liu Shangang was pulled to me, and I also approached him a short distance, away from the stone wall.
