Chapter Ninety-One: The Butterfly-Faced Man

Fear stems from the unknown, but the eggs in front of you are not only terrifying, but also disgusting.

It wasn't until the hatching thing in the egg crawled out that we could see it like a caterpillar, but I swear I've never seen such a terrifying bug.

The insects were translucent white like eggs, and the viscous liquid adhered to the black scales and erect spikes, and the rolling compound eyes were very unsettling to me.

One, two, three......

Unknown insects kept crawling out of one of the eggs, and I remembered what I had seen wriggling in the eggs before, and these insects were intertwined with each other, each of which was more than 20 centimeters long, like a snake covered with spikes crawling from the stone platform to us in the corner.

I don't know who fired the first shot, and in an instant, the deafening gunshots in the entire closed stone room came one after another, and the white pulp of the insects that were hit burst and splashed on the people, and there was a strong corrosiveness, instantly burning clothes and sticking to the skin, I watched the people next to me lying on the ground screaming heartbreakingly, and the place where the body fluids of the insect corpse was contaminated was corroded out of a hole for a moment.

We were amazed, this bug was as weird as this temple, and it moved extremely fast and moved very quickly, and after the first group was shot by the attack, the second group was actually consciously dodging our attack.

Dozens of bugs made us feel like we were facing a great enemy, and we went all out to vent our fear with bullets like crazy, and when all the bugs were beaten to pieces, all the bullets in our magazines were emptied, and the sound of the trigger of the empty gun was still ringing in the closed stone room.

A scar's subordinate was trembling with fright and pale, there were no bullets in the gun, perhaps because he was too panicked, the whole person trembled like a sieve, and still pulled the trigger on the broken insects on the ground, and the general next to him pulled him, and the man's body fell to the ground with a soft body, and I saw a puddle of water under his feet, and he was directly scared to pee.

Before we could recover our senses, the broken eggs on the stone platform fell, and another new, intact and unhatched egg rose, and we froze in the corner in shock, and the roar from under the stone chamber never stopped, that is, there would always be such eggs being transported here.

"This is still over, how can you kill a batch and come again?" Tian Ji asked with palpitations.

"This is the sacrificial chamber, and the eggs will be there until the sacrifice is complete." I took a deep breath and replied in horror.

"How can a sacrifice be completed?" Liao Kai's voice trembled behind me.

"Give your life!" Wen Ru sighed heavily. "Death is the end of sacrifice."

"Refill the magazine!" The general suddenly shouted loudly.

We were so frightened that we forgot that there were no bullets in the gun, and the general reminded us loudly that we had reacted, but the eggs had been ruptured, and the insects crawling out of them attacked with agility, and the closer we were, the more fearful we became, and the two people lying on the ground were contaminated with a little insect body fluid, one arm was corroded and broken alive, and the other was not so lucky, and the body fluids splashed on his face......

I was shocked by the aggressiveness of these insects, and we had been forced to die after a little hesitation, and we had no way to retreat, but we only watched the people in front of us fall like harvested straws wherever these insects passed.

The general and Tian Ji who stood in front of me were not spared, the first second they were still struggling to resist, and the next second they were like losing consciousness, and they fell to the ground with a bang and no reaction, and those insects crawled over the fallen people, forcing the rest of us into a corner, and there was a great tendency to kill them all and never die.

It wasn't until Gong Jue and Ye Zhiqiu fell down next to me that I saw what was happening, when those insects approached, the spikes on the black scales would shoot out, but anyone who was stabbed by the spikes would instantly fall to the ground, presumably there was extremely poisonous venom on the spikes.

Suddenly I felt a tingling pain in my legs, and I looked down to see two spikes piercing deeply, but it was just a stinging pain, and I didn't feel any other discomfort other than that, but the people around me had all fallen, and the weird insects were close at hand, and it was useless for me to shoot at such a close distance, and suddenly a hand behind me pulled me down, and when I turned around, it turned out to be Wen Ru.

He put his finger to his mouth to signal me not to move, it seems that he wants me to pretend to be unconscious, just me and him, resistance is futile, even if you can kill all these insects, but as Wen Ru said, the ultimate sacrifice is death, as long as we are alive, those eggs are estimated to always appear.

I pressed Ye Zhiqiu under me, buried my head and Wen Ru squinted and watched, and when we all fell, those insects really stopped attacking, Ye Zhiqiu was shot by a spike in his arm, and the wound and spreading blood vessels were shockingly purple and black, I quietly buckled her pulse and found that it was normal and gentle, it seemed that the venom on the spikes would only make people faint instantly and not fatal.

But Ye Zhiqiu's body was stiff and paralyzed, and it felt like a stone, I didn't understand that these insects obviously had the ability to kill us instantly, but they didn't kill us directly, and in my squinted eyes, I saw the second batch of surviving insects swimming in the crowd that fell to the ground, and then each found a person, and used a powerful palate to pry open the person's mouth, and the disgusting and wriggling body slowly crawled into the mouth.

I was shocked to think that if there was such a worm in my body, it would be worse than death, and I was just about to lift the gun when I found Wen Ru pressed it deadly, and his wise eyes seemed to warn me not to act rashly.

Fortunately, there was not much left of the second batch of insects that we shot, Liao Kai and Scar were no longer outside after they got into the insects in their mouths, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the general was okay, and I lay on the ground for a long time without moving, and I was trying to get up to see them, Wen Ru still grabbed me heavily, and said in my ear in a very small voice: "There must be a reason for sacrificing a living person at a specific time, look at the bones on the stone platform, things are not so simple, let's see what will happen first." ”

I hated the ruthless person next to me who wanted to pretend to be kind, but what he said did make sense, a person who is far more thoughtful than me must be more thoughtful than I thought at the moment of life and death, otherwise there would not be so many people, only the oldest can survive.

I didn't understand why I was obviously attacked by bugs, but nothing happened, when suddenly there was a heavy footstep sound from the middle of the stone chamber, and I heard it clearly, it was the sound of footsteps!

I was shocked that there were other people in this temple that had not been opened for thousands of years!

I tilted my head to the side of the stone platform, and squinted to see a few temple guards holding swords and axes and bronze armor all over their bodies walking out from below, their faces still wearing the three-eyed unicorn mask that Liao Haiqing brought back, I secretly thought in my heart, on the way to the temple, we encountered three corpse Gu, could it be that the weird and disgusting insects were raised by these temple guards?

The movements of the Praetorian Guards of the Temple are stiff and slow, as if they are being manipulated by something, but we have been attacked by these Praetorian Guards at the entrance of the Temple, and the most terrifying thing about this Praetorian Legion is not their thousand-year-old bodies, but that they actually have consciousness and thinking, and what really disturbs me is the control of these Janissaries.

Unlike outside the temple, however, the guards did not seem to want to slaughter the fallen people, but rather grabbed a random spot, pulling the people on the ground to the bottom of the stone chamber like a butcher dragging an animal to be slaughtered into the slaughterhouse.

I still clenched the gun in my hand, although I knew in my heart that in front of these undead monsters, guns and ammunition were not effective at all, but it was the only thing that gave me some grounds.

I watched the guards drag the men in front of them one by one, and as they dragged the pheasant, his stiff, limp hand hit the guard in the face as he rolled over.

With a bang, the mask on the guard's face fell to the ground, I was very close to the field chicken, the moment the mask on the guard's face fell, my whole body shook involuntarily as if I had been electrocuted, I couldn't believe the person I saw in front of me, in fact, I couldn't be sure if it was still a person.

The human body, the limbs, the face......

The body is actually a butterfly face!

My slight movement immediately alerted the guards, turned to me, stared at me for a moment, turned me face up, and slowly crouched down and stared at me intently.

I was so frightened that my whole body was stiff, and even my breathing was about to freeze, but in front of my squinted eyes, the weird face was close at hand, at first I thought it was dazzling, or it was the decoration on the face of the guard, after all, Wen Ru said that in the myths and legends of Jiuli, the origin of the twelve ancient ancestral gods is related to butterflies, and I should be a way to worship the butterfly totem.

But when the Praetorian put his face in front of me, I could see the strangeness of the face completely, the triangular pyramid protrusion of the face was covered with creepy folds, the protruding compound eyes on both sides were full of hexagonal eyes, no nose, but a pair of sharp upper and lower jaws, which could easily tear and crush anything, just outside the lower jaw was a long tube-like thing, the end was extremely sharp, coiled in front of and below the guard's head, exactly like the mouthparts of a butterfly, but I believe that this thing was definitely not used to suck pollen sap.

With the breath of the guard in front of me, the coiled mouthparts slowly stretched out, and the sharp end touched me, the slight stroke was a piercing pain, I desperately held back and didn't move, in fact, I was already scared stupid, my body was stiffer than Ye Zhiqiu below, and the pain was completely numb in fear.

The guards didn't find anything unusual, got up and picked up the mask on the ground and put it on, dragged the field chicken and disappeared into the stone room, my whole body was stiff and I couldn't even tremble, the clothes on my back were all soaked with cold sweat, and it was extremely cold on my back, but at this moment the coldness in my heart was far beyond this, I could finally understand the unspeakable fear of Liao Kai describing to me when his father came back, and the old man sitting on the wooden chair with a panicked expression.

They should have seen this unforgettable face as much as I did, and it was like a lingering nightmare that haunted me, but it wasn't that that scared me the most, this creepy face didn't scare people crazy, what else did they see that could scare those who had escaped like that, who was enshrined in this eerie temple?
