Chapter 214: Bats in the Cliffs
"What now? There are five sinkholes here, and we don't know which sinkhole the bones of the so-called snake are in, or if there are other secrets in these five sinkholes, do we have to find them one by one? ”
I asked anxiously, not knowing how to find the so-called place of the bones of the snake, and the existence that made Wang Xuanfu a little jealous......
Even if Wang Xuanfu is just an ancient corpse that has been dead for many years, it is the true ancestor after all, Emperor Donghua!
Something that can make him feel a little nervous, and even something that can make his corpse give birth to consciousness on its own, and want to gather all the corpses in a radius of hundreds of miles, is definitely beyond our imagination!
For this so-called land of the bones of the snake, no one here knows specific information, and there is no Xiangzi pulse earth master who knows a lot about the mountains and rivers and feng shui burial caves. Therefore, in the face of the five huge sinkholes, what to do next, how to enter, how to find the bones of the snake and the existence of the demon have all become a problem.
Uncle Shan and Ma Xiong's brows furrowed. Indeed, the five sinkholes here can't be seen one by one. How do you determine which sinkhole the demon exists in?
"Is there any way you can go straight to our goals without wasting time?" Ma Xiong's sharp eagle-eyed gaze swept over his subordinates, and at the same time, he was also asking the corpse chasers on the side of Jinjiazhai.
But no one seems to have a good solution. It's okay to let them drive corpses and play with insects, this kind of technical positioning, I'm afraid it's very difficult.
If it really doesn't work, I'm afraid it can really only be searched one sinkhole at a timelap?
Just when it was a little difficult to choose, I suddenly had an unusual feeling. In the palm of my left hand, I suddenly began to heat slightly, as if a piece of red-hot coke was held tightly in the palm of my hand!
"Ouch~"
I subconsciously let out a slight cry of pain, causing everyone else to look at me sideways with vigilance in their eyes, presumably thinking that I had been attacked by something strange. I quickly explained that it was okay, it was okay, no worries, and they were a little relieved.
Raising my left hand and spreading out my palm, I saw that the purple ring mark on the left hand was inexplicably hit by the mysterious rune descending from the void in the corpse chaser inn!! The burning pain of holding a piece of coals was also caused by this.
I was taken aback by what happened.
Because this ring-shaped purple rune has turned into a birthmark in the palm of my left hand since the last time I had an accident at the corpse inn to summon the imp of the underworld. There has been no special reaction for a while, but I didn't expect a reaction to appear in this strange place of snake bones.
And the reaction seems to be getting stronger, and I almost can't control it!
The purple glow became more and more intense, from the previous lilac to a brilliant deep purple, and almost my entire left hand was glowing. Everyone else around me had already noticed the anomaly, and their eyes were focused on me.
The golden snake was the closest to me, and he saw that my situation had changed, and asked me anxiously: "Jiang Ming, what's the matter with you?" What's wrong? ”
At this moment, a sharp pain passed from my left hand like a tsunami, and my consciousness was slightly trance. I tried desperately to stay awake and said, "I don't know what's going on...... It's not the last time I had an accident when I wanted to help you summon the soul of the zombie at the Corpse Inn......"
Uncle Shan and Ma Xiong were just about to get close to me to see what was going on, when the dazzling dark purple light in the palm of their left hand had reached its limit, and I seemed to hear a sharp whistling sound in my ears. From the circular purple birthmark in my palm, a purple light that was extremely bright suddenly rose into the sky, like a slender pillar of light running through the earth and sky!!
I don't know if it's a coincidence or what's going on, the originally clear sky has silently appeared in the clouds, and the purple light pillar from my hand actually shot directly above the clouds, and a huge python figure suddenly appeared in the clouds, swimming back and forth in the clouds, as if looking for something. The snake shadow has four horns on its head, two on the left and two on the left and right, one large and one small......
At this time, I felt that I was getting weaker and weaker, and the physical strength of my whole person and the spiritual power in my body seemed to be absorbed by this purple rune. Then it turned into this pillar of purple light that rose into the sky, reflecting on the clouds in the sky. My feet were a little weak, and I felt like I was about to fall down.
Uncle Shan and Ma Xiong next to him changed their faces when they saw this, and they both stretched out their hands to help me. But before it touched my body, it was still about half a foot away, and two clouds of purple gas suddenly exploded in the void, pushing the two of them away for several meters.
At the same time, the giant snake figure let out a crackling thunder sound from the clouds, and the purple giant snake figure actually broke away from the clouds, emitting purple light, and there were thick lightning and thunder on the surface.
With the power of thunder, he rushed towards the location of the smallest sinkhole and rushed into the sinkhole!
The sight shocked everyone here, and as the purple lightning serpent descended from the sky, the pillar of purple light in my palm suddenly disappeared. I felt so weak that I couldn't stand on my feet at all, and I almost fell to the ground when my knees bent.
But it soon became clear that there was something cold and hard against me, and I leaned on it so that I would not fall. Looking back, it was Uncle Shan's natal corpse puppet, the earthly demon ant that seemed to be cast from black metal, although I didn't know if this thing could understand human speech, but I still whispered thank you......
But this weak and tired "thank you" was drowned out in a huge cry of pain......
Just about a minute after the purple giant snake figure surrounded by thunder and lightning rushed down towards the smallest sinkhole, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from the direction of the smallest sinkhole!!
The roar was so loud that it seemed to shake the entire mountain basin slightly, and the clouds in the sky that had gathered inexplicably seemed to be shaken apart by the roar.
The roar was eerie, like some kind of beast, like a human voice, with a strange hissing sound like a snake spitting letters...... But there is no doubt that the voice was painful, and it should have been hurt a lot.
In the midst of this roar, everyone showed a look of shock, but there was a hint of joy in that look.
Obviously, the source of this sound was the demonic existence in the land of the bones of the Naba snake. In this basin, the roar of light is so powerful, there should be nothing else.
The purple light emitted by the mysterious rune in the palm of my left hand, which was likely to come from the legendary Netherworld, caused the power of thunder in the sky to mix and land, hitting the demonic and terrifying existence in the land of the bones of the Naba snake, causing it to suffer a lot of damage before it fully woke up......
That's the way it is!
"Brother Jiang Ming, you have helped a lot again. The thing that the True Patriarch said should be under the smallest heavenly pit. And...... I already vaguely feel the breath of Jinhua her! Her disappearance is really related to this! Uncle Shan's voice had a slight trill, which was caused by being too excited.
It can be seen that he has a deep relationship with Grandma Jinhua. When Grandma Jinhua disappeared before, in order not to make others too anxious, he forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart. At this moment, I suddenly sensed that Grandma Jinhua was breath, and there must be some emotional fluctuations. I just don't know how they can sense each other.
Now that the destination was clear, the crowd stopped and hurried towards the smallest sinkhole. Because of my physical exertion, I was carried by Uncle Shan's earthly demon ants all the time. Ma Xiong let me eat a white worm that looked very disgusting, and I was able to recover my strength quickly, but the spiritual power and martial arts qi and blood power that were almost squeezed dry, it is estimated that I can't fully recover in such a short period of time.
We came to the edge of this sinkhole, looked down, and were shocked to find that along the near-vertical wall of the pit, there was a winding path that spiraled deep underground, like a stairway to the underworld......
Ma Xiong glanced at it and said lightly: "Since there is a road, it has also saved us a lot of effort." ”
I was a little stunned when I looked at it, and I don't know how deep it was in this sinkhole, if I accidentally fell off this path, it would really be a dead place. I'm not in a good shape right now, so I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
Uncle Shan seemed to see my worries, so he gently patted me on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I have my own way." Everyone here is our warrior, and before they really face the mysterious evil thing, they can't afford to miss anything. ”
I was puzzled, but suddenly I reacted: "Earth Walking Demon Ant! It can summon those zombie ants to help us. ”
Uncle Shan then shook the old bronze corpse bell in his hand, and his mouth emitted rapid and complex syllables. A colony of black ants came out of the ground and surged into the sinkhole ahead. Crawling on the steep pit wall, it actually spread along the sheep intestine path, as if forming a protective net!
In this way, even if there is an accidental fall, it will not really be killed.
Ma Xiong stared at those black tide-like zombie ants for a while, and said lightly: "Your zombie ants, your strength should be a lot less, right?" I could feel my natal Gu becoming a little uneasy, and the aura emanating from something below suppressed it. ”
Uncle Shan nodded: "That's right, that's right." I could clearly feel that after entering the basin, the zombie ant colony controlled by my earth-walking demon ants began to get tired. The vast majority of them actually hibernate directly underground, uncontrollable. The rest of them have a lot less strength. Otherwise, we can just let them change into various forms and carry us down. ”
Did Uncle Shan and Ma Xiong both feel that their spell abilities had been suppressed? But why don't I feel that way?
The other corpse chasers, Gu magicians don't seem to have a very obvious feeling, I think it may have something to do with the strength of the people who enter this place. The more powerful the person, the greater the oppression in the place where the bones of the snake are located.
One by one, we entered the black, constantly cloudy sinkhole that blew up from below, and stepped onto the sheep's intestine path on the cliff that could only be walked sideways.
Because of our young age and relatively weak strength, the Golden Snake and I were protected by everyone. Uncle Shan was in front, and Ma Xiong broke off, and cautiously walked along the path towards the bottom of the sinkhole. The black tide of zombie ants crawled with us under the trail, like a moving protective net......
I was facing a cliff. His feet moved sideways on the path, and his hands were clinging to the cliff like spiders. Occasionally, I couldn't help but look curiously into the sinkhole, but I could only see a bottomless darkness, like the open mouth of an ancient giant beast, revealing the chill of the forest.
Maybe it's because I know that with the protection of those zombie ants, even if I accidentally have an accident, I don't have to worry too much about my life. In this way, the mood is more relaxed, and when walking on the sheep intestine trail on this cliff, I walked more steadily, and there were no accidents.
Gradually, we have gone deeper into this sinkhole, and it is estimated that we have descended to a height of eighty or ninety meters. When I looked up, I could see the sunlight above, but it was getting darker and darker, and my vision became a little blurry. Soon we are about to enter an area where the sun does not shine completely, this is a truly dark underground world.
How to solve the problem of lighting? Not everyone can see things clearly in the dark, but I soon learned that Uncle Amao, who is leading these things, will definitely think it through. Because I saw a middle-aged man hanging from the pocket of his waist next to Ma Xiong, a butterfly-like Gu worm the size of a thumb suddenly flew out!
As soon as these butterfly-like Gu worms flew out, they came to everyone's side under the command of that middle-aged Gu magician, one by one. I saw that there were still a few left, flying to the front and the back, and then, almost at the same time, I heard only a slight pop in the air, like the sound of an insect wings stretching. Immediately afterward, one after another clusters of light suddenly appeared around us, radiating a bright and soft light.
It was the butterfly Gu worm the size of a thumb that the middle-aged Gu magician had released just now. Now the whole body is full of light, and all of them are the size of human heads, floating next to us, illuminating the walls of the sinkhole around us. And the butterfly Gu insects that flew to the end of the line before were connected together as if they had become a string of lanterns suspended in the air, guiding the way to continue walking......
I think if someone were looking in the darkness in the direction of our clinging to the cliff, they would see a moving beam of light, slowly moving through the dead darkness of the underworld. The sunlight had completely disappeared, and the darkness seemed to have weight, squeezing towards us, but it was stretched open by the glowing butterfly Gu worm.
In such an environment, we can't judge the location of this sinkhole at all, so we can only continue to choose to go down and down......
I kept adjusting my breathing and physical condition, holding the cliff with the palms of both hands so that I could stick closer to the cliff and balance my body more.
But suddenly, I felt as if the palm of my hand had been poked by a sharp object, and there was a slight pain, and it was wet, as if it was bleeding.
Was it pierced by the sharp rocks that protruded from the cliff?
I thought to myself, so I took my left hand back from the cliff and saw that there was a bloody hole in the palm of my hand. It doesn't look like it's being cut by some sharp rock, but it looks like it's ...... I was poked directly by something.
What's going on?
A trace of doubt and gloom suddenly flashed in my heart.
With this uneasiness and confusion, I quickly looked in the direction of the cliff that I had just held with my palm. It doesn't matter what I see, it suddenly shook my heart.
Because I could clearly see that at the place where my palm had been pierced by a foreign object just now, there was a sharp black weapon, but the sharp object shone with a bony glow, and it was obviously not a stone, but something protruding from the inside of the rock formation of the sinkhole......
"Everyone, be careful! Speed up and get out of this area, there is something strange in this cliff formation! Be careful. I immediately reminded everyone to pay attention to the situation.
Looking at the wound in my palm again, I found that the blood flowing from this wound was actually a little faintly black, and the edges of the wound began to turn a little black!
This thing that stabbed me is poisonous! And it's ...... Ptomaine!!!
That's right, I've seen it. It wasn't a sharp rock at all, but the claws of some kind of corpse buried in this formation, and I accidentally put my palm on it, so I was stabbed, and I was poisoned.
But fortunately, for those who cultivate in war, the understanding and control of their physical bodies has reached a point where ordinary people can hardly understand. Therefore, as soon as the martial arts qi and blood that had recovered some of the body were slightly activated, all the poisonous blood was directly forced out of the body, and at the same time, as soon as the blood-red flames rose, the toxins at the wound were also forced out, turning into wisps of black gas.
Not only me, but other corpse chasers and Gu magicians also found a lot of sharp things piercing out of the rock formations on this cliff one after another! However, because of my reminder, everyone was vigilant in their hearts, and they basically avoided the past and did not get pierced again.
But to our horror, as we continued to the bottom of the sinkhole, the black claws that emerged from the rock formations above the crater not only did not disappear, but became more and more numerous. If you have a phobia of intensity, you will definitely feel very sick and uncomfortable when you see this scene.
What made me feel even more uneasy was that I seemed to see something in the shape of a black claw sticking out of the rock formation of the cliff in front of me, and it seemed to move slightly, and an extremely strong uneasiness emerged from my heart.
Are they ...... Are you about to wake up?! What a disaster!
But before I could say anything, I only heard a click, and the rock formation in front of me actually cracked a crack directly, and the source of this crack was the claw of the corpse of an unknown black object!
The bony claws pulled hard, and they actually cracked the rock formation.
"Not good! Be careful, everyone, what's in this rock formation...... It's coming out! ”
At this moment, I couldn't care about anything else, so I could only quickly shout loudly, reminding everyone here to pay attention to the movement in the rock formations, and hurry up and move forward. That is, at the same time as I shouted the words of vigilance, the rock formation in the area where I was standing just now continued to crack, and a black thing with short hair on the surface of the body poked out half of its body from the rock formation!
I saw that this thing was dry, as if a layer of dry skin was wrapped around the skeleton shelf. There are some short, hard black hairs on the skin, and a head about the size of a person, and a pair of blood-red eyes, which look very penetrating.
This is...... Giant bats! And it's a giant zombie vampire bat!
At this time, we finally knew what was buried in the rock formations of this cliff. It's a giant vampire bat the size of a man. They're zombies now, and they're all going to fly out of the rock formations. The first target of the attack is us......
In fact, if we were to say that it was on flat ground, we would not necessarily be completely afraid of this bat zombie. Even if it is a zombie turned into a giant vampire bat monster corpse, it is believed that there will be some restrictions in front of the corpse chaser. But we are now on the sheep intestine path on the cliff of this unknown number of sinkholes, not to mention casting spells, even if it is a big challenge to keep the balance of the body from falling, if these bat zombies all break through the ground and attack us, the consequences may not be unimaginable!
And at this time, Uncle Shan's zombie ant army is all used as our protective measures, and there is no way to fight, which means that our overall high-end combat power is still in a relatively weak state......
But of course, things don't happen according to our thinking, they will come after all. Therefore, in our nervous mood, the rock formations kept clicking and cracking, and one after another huge bat zombies came out of it, spreading their black bat wings and circling back and forth in the air!
There are no bats attacking us yet, but later, we don't know...... (To be continued.) )
