Chapter 356: Lair Adventure
July still realized that this cave was not simply excavated by "him", and it was probably connected to the existing underground caves, and the dense forest ground may be full of such staggered "centipede" passages, through which they walked through the forest.
Eventually, where will the passage lead?
"It's not just a simple underground nest structure, you can smell it, it's very permeable." A good ventilation system and an excellent underground living environment are created so that they still have a certain amount of intelligence, and even their IQ is not lower than their own. The black-robed man couldn't help but say, "The biological reproduction and nurturing technique combined with human Gu has strengthened their ability in a certain aspect, such as their ability to act, and they are faster than ordinary people. ”
The direction of the wind flows from the left to the right of the fork in the road, and the air flows at a slow speed that can be detected in detail.
"Judging by the direction of the wind, the one on the left should be the wind outlet leading to the ground, and the one on the right is the way into their lair." The black-robed man's view was also echoed by July.
The breeze blew a faint amount of smoke, and the smell of excrement was pungent and unpleasant, obviously coming from the right side of the road.
The three of them switched positions, with the black-robed man at the head, Ning Yun in the middle, and July in charge of the palace. In case their judgment is wrong, and the opposite direction is the nest of the "centipede", then the "centipede" population may be attacked at any time behind them.
Calculating the time, this point also happens to be the time when they travel to forage for food.
The passage was not straight, it had a certain arc, and since the creatures were climbing forward, the width of the passage was sufficient, but the three of them still had to crawl slowly in the serpentine cave with their bodies bent over.
In addition to darkness and darkness in the sight, the smell of Gu worm excrement was full of snorts, and the passage was filthy and foggy.
Infected by environmental factors, everyone's mood was a little anxious, and Ning Yun almost ran out of breath, "It's better to suffocate to death, ask them about the taste of this thing." ”
The design and production of the passage is not for people to pass, how can you consider the comfort of people, July felt that his back hit the roof of the cave from time to time, and he swallowed violently in pain, and suddenly choked on smoke.
The black-robed man could no longer remain calm and calm, "We shouldn't run into the centipede hut." Faced with the intricately constructed biological cave passages, he wondered if there were special manure pits.
A manure pit that has been piling up for years!
"Whew, don't be disgusting, okay?" Ning Yun pushed his ass, and this posture happened to be in front of the excrement of the person in front of him, and a strong feeling of nausea poured into his throat.
"Would you like to be quiet?" July noticed that the dirt around the passage had been deliberately baked with fire, and although it still smelled of moisture, it was solid enough to keep it from collapsing for years. The roots of the ground plants are exposed inside the cave, further reinforcing the soil layer.
It's like a man-made building, and it really will be built by that group of "centipedes".
There was a pause in front of him, and Ning Yunsheng bumped into it, "What are you doing!" ”
It's a fork again! The passage narrowed a lot, and his body could no longer be twisted, so he had to turn his head and say, "There are three more forks at the intersection, and the situation is unknown, so it is too dangerous to go on like this." ”
"What's wrong, how did you stop?" July asked.
Ning Yun relayed it, it was extremely difficult to turn around and go back in the current situation, "You want us to turn around, such superb reversing skills, please teach me." ”
Turning around is a problem, and if you really want to go backwards, you can only climb backwards, and you can even face attacks from the rear at any time.
The fork was one meter away in front of it, with a slope of one meter diagonally downward, and there was a small platform for resting, and the black-robed man decided to go down first to see the situation before deciding.
I've been walking under the winding ground for a long time, and it takes about the same amount of time to give up backwards as it does to keep going.
He jumped down first, and as soon as he landed, he suddenly felt wrong, and hurriedly stopped the two people behind him from continuing to walk, "Wait, I heard a voice." ”
The sound of the sand crawling through the forks came from the various openings of the fork, and just listening to the sound could imagine a pair of centipede feet rubbing the soil as they crawled.
"It's... Is it a swarm of centipedes? Ning Yun also heard that creepy sound, and now there was still some distance from the fork sounding, but remembering that kind of thing can move at high speed, it would be a matter of a while to come here.
Rustle rustle ~~ rustle rustle ~~
The footsteps without a sense of rhythm and beauty at all are reminiscent of the multi-legged animal, and it is inevitable that the whole body will be cold.
The black-robed man quipped helplessly: "It seems that it's not a pit, it's a bedroom." We caught up with them for dinner. ”
The "centipedes" seemed to be having a grand assembly, and many of their kind were gathering towards the intersection, the surging footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the heartbeats of the three were accelerating.
The situation in front of him was so critical that there was no way to solve it, only waiting for their arrival, Ning Yun could even imagine the sound of their breathing, the waist and abdomen tissues composed of many body segments, the disgusting steps on each segment, and the important thing was that centipedes were carnivorous animals.
Rustling! July felt an object behind him quickly leaning over, and before he could react, his waist was hit by an object vigorously, and he couldn't see the appearance of the object behind him when he turned his head to touch the black. A gossamer breath fluttered and fluttered, like a man breathing behind his head. Immediately she remembered what was behind her.
"Behind me... It looks like one has already arrived. "A slight fishy smell, a peculiar pungent smell, July was a little afraid that he would bite down, even though he was immune to centipede toxins all over his body.
July twisted his neck, and his backhand touched a round head, which was wet, and he kicked one leg back in a hurry, and hurriedly kicked the "centipede" behind him a few meters away, "Run forward." She could clearly feel that the "centipede" kicked by herself bumped into other members of the same kind in the process of retreating, and the retreat was already full of "centipedes", and the possibility of escaping was almost equal to zero.
Ning Yun slammed into it, and his body fell into the one-meter-deep fork, making room for it. Then July also hurried down.
As soon as his legs hit the ground, July began to arrange the Gu repellent powder, sprinkling a layer of milky white powder on the road ahead, and the powder suddenly filled the small space.
"Does it work?" Ning Yun asked. After all, the unique life forms here have their own laws of evolution, and many anti-Gu mechanisms that seem to be effective to the outside world may not work here.
Giggles~ Laughter!
The laughter at this point sounds like a different taste, and even more so screaming, their pronunciation system sounds limited to one type of sound, different tones indicate different emotions, but the sound is equally creepy.
Creak... Creak... The rancid, burnt smell came from the passage of the right person, and it worked, and the "centipedes" who followed behind July were stained with the powder and smoked continuously, and the pieces of skin and flesh were corroded, accompanied by their screams of pain.
The black-robed man took out the fire fold, and a light appeared in the passage, and the moment he illuminated the cave, he saw a head emerge from the cave on the left.
The round head was reddish-black, with a pair of half-meter-long tentacles and poisonous hooks, which had changed significantly from the "centipede" they had taken before. The tentacles swept through, and a pair of poison hooks took advantage of the momentum to pierce them. The black-robed man was quick and did not dare to touch the poisonous parts with his hands, so he quickly raised his legs in the narrow cave and pressed him back into the cave where he came, which was extremely crowded and full of "centipedes" pushing and shoving.
"No, the hole on the left is full of this kind of thing, and the road is blocked." He reminded the two.
"On the right, on the right, too." As soon as Ning Yun wanted to get into the hole on the right side, he also collided with the "centipede" that had been squeezing out, and the other party's tentacles quickly shrank back as soon as they swept Ning Yun's skin, and he was afraid of the insect repellent powder applied to Ning Yun's body.
Directly ahead, a "centipede" can be faintly seen crawling, and there is almost no way to escape.
The black-robed man took out a small box of things with a strange style, "If you can't do it, you can only blow them up." ”
Dynamite? Ning Yun hurriedly grabbed his hand when he heard this, "Don't mess around, this is underground, we will all be buried alive as soon as your thing explodes." ”
"Buried alive? Do you want to die decently, or be their meal. Rest assured, this special explosive has a limited explosion range and will not cause a collapse. He shook off Ning Yun's hand and touched the explosives' detonation switch. Being eaten by the "centipedes" is not a pleasant thing to see.
July firmly clamped the arm of the black-robed man and said calmly, "Wait, look at the top." It turned out that there was a cave above the heads of the three of them, and he naturally wouldn't think of death until he was in a desperate situation.
"I'll go up first, and then I'll pull you up." Without saying a word, his toes tapped on one side of the wall, jumped up lightly, hooked his hands to the two-meter-high upper hole, and dragged his body into the hole.
Then he showed his head above his head and stretched out his arm downward, "Ning Yun, you come first, give me your hand." ”
"Alas!" Ning Yun's leap obviously failed to reach the height of July, and he was firmly grasped by July's arm and pulled into the hole, ready to pull the last one.
"I can do it myself." The black-robed man was also highly agile, and it was difficult to borrow strength in a small space, and he simply jumped up from the ground and drilled into the hole above.
There is only one passage to the top of the cave, and I don't know where it leads," and so on. He dropped a bomb downwards and pushed the two of them to run. Before he could take a few steps, there was already a dull explosion behind him, and the sound was really not loud.
"I hope I can hold them back for a while." As soon as he turned around, he didn't see Qiyue and Ning Yun again, he remembered that the two of them were next to him just now, why did they disappear after a while?
