Chapter Ninety-Seven: Stone Fat Water

When the stone chamber cube stopped rotating, we left immediately, I covered my head and carefully identified the direction of the sound, and walked quickly through the stone chamber, I felt that the voice that summoned me was getting closer and closer, but the palace lord's pace slowed down, until finally stopped in a passage.

"What's wrong?" Now we can't afford to delay every second, it's not time that passes but our lives, and when we turn our heads to look at the palace lord, we find that his face is terrified.

"We are surrounded!" The corners of Gong Jue's mouth squirmed and replied.

We turned back in horror to find seven or eight butterfly-faced people in front of the passage, and beneath them were white worms crawling fast, and our remaining ammunition was no longer enough to defend against them, and just as we were about to turn around and exit the passage, we heard a shrill and angry roar from the darkness.

In the firelight, the huge and terrifying queen appeared in front of us, and under the queen's body was a layer of damp white surging like us, and if you looked closely, it was all those strange insects, and all the eggs must have hatched under the queen's call.

Ye Zhiqiu gradually understood the ecological chain of this unknown creature, the queen has the supremacy in this biological chain, and at the same time has the most powerful and lethal attack power, and the eggs she lays hatch into creatures with different divisions of labor through different methods.

Butterflies have some of the Queen's ability to heal and regenerate, and because they are hatched among the living, they have a human form, and they are the Queen's sentinels and guards, and they protect the Queen as well as the Temple.

And the insects that hatch directly from the eggs, still retain the appearance of the queen, they should be responsible for guarding and controlling the invaders, I am more afraid of this kind of insects than the butterfly-faced people, not to mention the tens of thousands of people swarming towards us.

We're not moving as fast as the Butterfly Faces and the Bugs, and we've shut down the Stone Chamber Cube to allow the monsters to assemble quickly, and we're obviously more familiar with the terrain than those of us who have lived in the temple for millennia.

"They......" I took a deep breath and looked back and forth, my eyes falling on the angry queen. They communicate with each other and know we're going to be here, it's a trap, they're here waiting to ambush us. ”

"Looks like we won't even be able to survive the last three hours." The palace lord smiled bitterly.

"How many more grenades?" The general asked Tian Ji.

Tian Ji took out the last five from his bag, the general took two of them, tore off the cloth from his body and tied them together, and said in a low voice: "We don't think we can rush out together, there are few butterfly-faced people and insects behind the passage, three grenades should be able to kill them, you will leave me alone later, how far can they run if they are killed." ”

"What about you?" I asked.

"Someone has to stay behind to stop these monsters in front of you, although they can't be blown up, but at least they can give you some time." The general was calm.

"Let go!" I pressed it on it and yelled.

"What the is it, don't delay, we'll all die here." The general gave me a push, resolute and forceful.

But I still grabbed his hand and stubbornly forced: "I'll stay, you take the others away." ”

"Feel tight." The general put his foot on me and stared at me with a cold eyebrow. "Lao Tzu is at this age, and he doesn't have a few days to live, so after you break this little bastard, Lao Tzu can get out alive, and he won't have the face to see anyone."

"Those who go to the grave together have to go out together, whether they live or die." I got up from the ground and re-grabbed the grenade in the general's hand. "This is what you taught me, if you want to stay, I won't leave."

"Is this a grave? Lao Tzu has taught you for more than ten years, and he will teach you this elm pimple. "The general was furious, glaring anxiously at me as he stared at the approaching bugs and butterfly-faced people." If you rub everyone's life again, you have to take it! ”

"Give me the grenade." Gong Jue suddenly said beside him.

The general and I looked at him in amazement, and the lord pressed his hand against the stone wall of the passage, and the other hand reached out in front of us.

"What do you want to do?" I hesitated.

"You are old and young, why don't you blink when you talk about death, your life is so worthless?" The palace lord gave me and the general a blank look. "Give me the grenade if you want to get out of here, or you'll keep fighting."

Gong Jue has a kind of calmness and composure that I don't have, just like when I first saw Gong Yu, she was born with the calmness of smiling at the wind and clouds, I looked back and forth at the bugs and butterfly-faced people who were about to get close to me before and after, and gritted my teeth and handed the grenade to Gong Jue.

"After the full explosion, try to lean on the stone wall, it doesn't matter if you can blow up the butterfly face and insects, but you must blow up the stone wall!" Gong Jue said to Tian Ji with a serious face.

Tian Ji first looked at me blankly, I guess like us, I don't know what the palace lord is going to do, that is the last weapon we can resist, in fact, the general's initial plan is the most correct, and it is also the only chance for us to get out of here.

"Listen to the palace lord." I said with a deep breath.

Tian Ji nodded, and after pulling the safety with the palace lord, he threw it at the butterfly-faced people and insects swarming behind us, and at the same time as we fell to the ground, a huge explosion and powerful impact quickly filled the passage, only to feel that the shattered stone wall fell on us like rain.

The dust was everywhere, drowning out the attacking monsters in front of and behind me, and I could faintly hear the sound of something flowing in the dust.

The palace lord urged us to hurry on, and Tian Ji and the general walked ahead with their guns, and the ground was full of the fragmented wreckage of the butterfly-faced man mixed with bugs that had been blown into mud, and from the stone wall there was a large amount of black oily liquid gushing out, which in a moment flooded our insteps.

Ye Zhiqiu just wanted to light the torch to check, but was pulled by the palace lord: "This is stone grease water, you can't see fire!" ”

"Oil?!" The general asked in surprise.

Gong Jue nodded, in ancient times, oil was called stone fat water, he told us that just now he inadvertently put his hand on the stone wall, and felt that something was surging in the stone wall, Gong Jue remembered the unmovable mechanism bearings we saw before, such a huge mechanism is bound to need a lot of energy support, and the hidden in the stone wall is likely to be the fuel for transmission.

It dawned on me why Gong Jue let the pheasants be fried close to the stone wall, and the oil used as fuel in it was the only hope for us to escape.

We quickly retreated to a place where there was no oil to spread, and a large amount of oil gushed out of the stone wall flooded the passage, but the insects and queens on the other side who had recovered from the explosion did not know what these black liquids meant, and immediately swarmed over again, when the queen's huge body and tens of thousands of insects poured into the oil like a tide, the general lit a torch and threw it hard, and in an instant the entire passage was filled with a sea of fire, and the raging fire easily devoured the dense white bugs, The Queen's massive body let out a terrifying wail in the sea of fire.

The scorching stench filled the air, the insects were burned and the Queen's wail echoed through the temple until we watched the fire engulf it.

We ran wildly along the passageway, and the ignited oil in the stone wall was like an enraged fire dragon, frantically eroding the road behind us, and in a moment the entire stone chamber was like a fall into the flames of hell.

I have been following the sound lingering in my ears to lead the way in the front, shuttling through the confusing stone chamber for a long time, and suddenly I heard Ye Zhiqiu's excited shout, and just opposite the stone chamber where we were standing, a completely different passage inlaid with bronze appeared.

"It's an exit!" The palace lord couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. "That's the only exit out of the Stone Chamber!"

At the moment when we rushed into the passage, the stone chamber behind us was completely engulfed in flames, and many places on our bodies were set on fire, and we lay on the ground panting and slumped to extinguish the fire, with a kind of weakness for the rest of our lives.

I turned around and saw Ye Zhiqiu cleaning up her long hair, she had waist-length long hair, but now only half of it was burned, looking at Ye Zhiqiu's embarrassed appearance, I stood up and laughed, Ye Zhiqiu pursed her lips and glared at me, where did she ask for a knife from Tian Ji, and she was reluctant to cut off the burnt hair, and the short hair that fell out made her look heroic.

I was thinking about her being happy, and just as I wanted to speak, my head suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if it was about to crack, and I couldn't bear it at all, I clenched my head and gritted my teeth and felt the pain was heartbreaking, and the voice that had been lingering in my ears became stronger and clearer.

The general lifted me up from the ground, and the others gathered around me and asked me what was going on, and I looked at the end of the passage, and the voice came from where, as if something had been calling me, and the general said that according to the structure of the temple, we should be in the center of the temple, and if there are any secrets in this temple that we have not yet reached, it must be at the end of the passage.

The headache gradually lessened, but the sound in our ears was never interrupted, the pheasant lit the torch to light the way, we cautiously walked along the passage, it didn't take long for us to see the light of the pheasant's torch spread in the darkness, and a majestic and thick stone gate appeared in front of us.

There are exquisite and complex ornaments on the stone door, Tian Ji pushed it, the stone door does not move, there should be another way to open this stone door, the palace lord found that the stone door can be rotated in the middle of the stone plate, and we saw the same at the entrance of the temple, there are a total of twelve, each of which has irregular lines and lines, and can be rotated at will, but with the movement of the stone plate, the lines on it will be combined with different patterns.

This stone plate is obviously a mechanism, and the stone door will only be opened if the correct pattern is assembled, and we are blocked in front of the stone gate, and we are helpless in the face of the intricate stone plate.

"There are a total of twelve stone plates, and there are too many patterns that can be combined, and without prompting, who knows what patterns can be combined to open the stone door." Ye Zhiqiu looked at it for a long time, and was anxious.

Wen Ru limped to the stone gate, and after watching for a long time, a calm voice came: "I should know how to open this stone gate." ”
