Chapter 50: The Insect Tide
"Shhhh Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Sizzle~
I don't know who said it, everyone immediately quieted down and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
Sizzle~
What is the sound?
The surroundings were so quiet that a needle could be heard clearly when it fell to the ground, and everyone's ears were occupied by the sound of rubbing fine metal particles, sizzling~ And this sound is getting louder and louder, as if something is coming towards this side.
The fat man looked at the maze behind him, it was empty, and the voice should not have come from this direction.
Then his pupils shrank, and he turned his gaze to the other side, only to see the iron gate they had walked through before slowly rising upward.
Is there anyone here again?
With their previous experience, the first thought they had when they saw the iron door open was that someone might be coming, someone outside to control the mechanism to open the door.
However, the iron gate was only lifted through a gap, and then did not continue to rise.
It seems that this time the people have become smarter, and they are worried that they will encounter a sneak attack, so they simply don't open the door, but if they don't open the door, how can the people outside come over? He was a little too cautious.
Thinking like this, everyone felt a burst of amusement again, they wanted to see who this newcomer was, whether he was a member or not.
Wrong!
Meng Xin's breath suddenly suffocated, and he suddenly thought that the things outside might not be people!
Looking at it, everyone immediately gasped,
Because, just after opening the door for a short time, in front of the iron gate, there was a dense patch of high black pressure on a small mountain.
The black spread to everyone's feet with lightning speed, and at this time they saw clearly that this black pressure was densely packed with small insects.
On closer inspection, each insect is black and looks like a chrysalis on the outside, but it has twelve long spider-like legs.
Because the legs of the pupae themselves are very short or even negligible, their movement is done by the contraction and relaxation of the muscles, but with this spider-like long legs, it undoubtedly greatly improves their transfer speed.
There were so many bugs that the entire ground was stained black.
"I rely on ,,, so many bugs."
There was a faster insect that had come to the feet of the fat man, and climbed into his shoes, and the sharp-eyed fat man immediately shook his feet and kicked the insect out, but after this delay, the insects behind him surrounded him.
Seeing this, the fat man immediately waved the dust whisk in his hand, and one after another the ring halo shook out of the dust, and after touching the insects on the ground, the ring halo disappeared, and instead, a large number of insects immediately couldn't move.
Meng Xin looked at the electric light man again, his whole body was wrapped in a kind of lightning that was constantly moving, as long as an insect crawled on his body, it was immediately electrocuted to the outside and tender inside, and at the same time, his two palms kept releasing thick high-voltage electricity, reaching into the inside of the insect tide.
In contrast, the hooded man was much more cold, and since he couldn't use a bow and arrow, he could only pluck the string of his bow and constantly eject shock ripples to achieve the purpose of repelling the insect tide.
And the vampire woman took out an umbrella, which should be a treasure or something, and every time she wielded it, she could also take away a large number of bugs.
It seems that only Meng Xin has no way to deal with it, but he is not idle, and constantly sends one or two runes, and the rune paper will burn when it reaches the insects, although the power is limited, but it also plays a certain role.
Isn't it weird to have a goblin-type bloodline and attack with rune paper?
The electric light man seemed to be at ease with the insect tide, and suddenly saw that Meng Xin, who was hiding behind the four of them, was maintaining his pitiful output, his eyes couldn't help but be full of disdain, and even the eyes of the fat man became contemptuous, at first he thought that these two mysterious Orientals would have much ability, but he didn't expect it to be this level.
But in spite of this, the insects continued to emerge from the crack under the iron gate, and under the attack of the people, they did not decrease, but tended to increase.
"This is the legendary corpse eater, which can gnaw people to bones, and if it continues like this, sooner or later we will be surrounded by a wave of insects."
"What then?" The fat man gasped and looked at Meng Xin behind him, this short meeting of work could make him tired.
Meng Xin shook his head, he had never encountered this situation before, the fat man asked him what to do, and the answer was: no way.
I remember hearing the old man talk about it before, he had encountered a similar situation before,
What the old man said is very simple, at the cost of human life, to put it bluntly, it is to shoot a person to death in order to achieve the purpose of rescuing the others, one of them is killed, and the bugs will undoubtedly eat the incapacitated person first, thus buying precious time for others to escape.
It's inhumane, but it's a good way to do it.
But here, who to kill, I'm afraid it's not easy to kill anyone, everyone here is not a fuel-efficient lamp, obviously, this method does not apply.
"Fatty, you stop first, with the method you opened before, can you close the door again?"
When the fat man heard this, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately manipulated the dust whisk to force towards the iron gate.
At the same time, due to the loss of the main firepower output of the fat man, the pressure of the remaining four people increased sharply, and the number of bugs increased even faster.
"No, there are too many bugs in the crack of the door, I can't close it!"
Meng Xin looked up and saw that Wuyang Wuyang's insects were still coming in through the cracks in the door, and under the iron gate was an extremely dense number of corpse eaters, which were blocked by corpse eaters, and the iron gate couldn't fall at all.
The fat man was in a hurry there, and when the hooded man on the side heard this, he immediately pulled out a few arrows from his back and opened his bow to shoot arrows.
Shout! Shout!
The arrow was fired into the crevice, and then with a "boom" ignited a raging flame, burning the corpse eaters in the crevice, leaving only ashes on the ground.
Seeing this, the fat man couldn't be stunned, saw this opportunity, manipulated the dust whisk in his hand, and closed the iron door with a "bang", and at the same time attached a few marks to the iron door, so that it would not be easy to be opened by the insect tide for a while and a half.
"The mana can't hold for long, let's go!" After solving the bugs around him, the fat man screamed, and immediately rushed to the depths of the maze, and everyone behind caught up and chased the fat man's pace.
ā¦ā¦
"The maze is criss-crossed, and the insect tide shouldn't be able to find us." The fat man didn't know where he had run to, so he sat on the ground paved with stones, panting, a bottle of mineral water appeared in his hand, unscrewed the cap and poured it into his stomach.
Other people are also quietly recuperating here at this time, and after a short period of work just now, everyone has consumed too much both mentally and physically, and they must stop and slow down in order to keep themselves in an optimal state to deal with other unexpected situations.
Of course, Meng Xin does not belong to this list, he didn't have much consumption just now, and he is the most idle of the five.
It's not that Meng Xin deliberately wants to paddle to hide his strength, but he really has no way to deal with the insect tide more efficiently.
Fortunately, everyone, including the fat man, didn't say much, but in addition to the fat man, other people also have a bottom in their hearts, this oriental man, although he looks like a dog, but looking at his strength, he is actually not as good as the fat man who is also in the east, and it is very likely that he is the bottom of the five.
"Where are we?"
Everyone is almost recuperated, and the electric light man is patrolling around their group, and every time he steps down, he will make a "stinging" sound, which is the sound of stones rubbing against each other under the pressure of his feet, which is particularly harsh in the already silent and unspoken environment.
Meng Xin looked at the stone walls around him, and knew that he was still in the labyrinth, and it seemed that he was still in the depths of the labyrinth.
Everyone followed the fat man all the way to escape, and in order to get rid of the corpse eater behind the iron gate, the fat man plunged into the maze, walked when he encountered the road, caught the bend and turned around, and finally, even he didn't know how many turns he turned, whether he turned left or right.
Besides, when everyone fled, they all ran in a hurry, who still had time to remember this?
"Paralyzed, since I entered this barren mountain, I don't even have a mobile phone signal, otherwise I can use GPS to set a position, at least I can know where I am going."
The fat man scolded, and when he saw that everyone else was up, he patted his ass and stood up, looking around, hoping to find some clues.
The place where they are standing now is an intersection, because they thought that they might be chased by the insect tide, so they chose such a place to stay, on the one hand, it is spacious, and the five people are not too crowded here, on the other hand, in case they are caught up by corpse eaters, there are four directions in front of them, and it is also convenient to escape.
"Thank God, the bugs didn't catch up, so let's hurry up now, shall we?"
After the electric light man prayed in a low voice, he immediately turned to look at everyone, he was the most consumed of these people just now, if even he recovered, then the others would definitely have no problem.
"Where, though?"
Everyone knows that it is certain to go, but where to go and how to get out of this maze is the key.
Monina, who had rarely spoken, was the vampire woman, and at this moment two crimson rays of light suddenly appeared in her eyes and then disappeared, and then as if she had received a message, she immediately rushed in one direction.
Seeing this, the others immediately understood that Monina must have discovered something, otherwise she would not be so excited, so she followed, and Meng Xin, who had been silently observing the three of them, saw this scene, but her eyes lit up,
Okay, I can't hide it anymore.
