Chapter 54: Red Beetle

I didn't want to take advantage of Xiao An, and things came to an impasse for a while. Jiang Xi looked a little irritable, paced twice in front of the stone gate, and then turned his head to look at the divine seat in my hand. This posture made me vigilant, and my heart said that this kid won't come hard, right? If he comes hard, Tang Linlin and I really can't deal with it.

Tang Linlin snorted, pushed back unceremoniously, and said, "Look at what, don't have a bad idea, it's a big deal, let's die together." ”

Jiang Xi's face didn't move, and he glanced at us coldly: "Together?" I'm here to live, not to die, and I want to die with me, and you don't have that ability. As he spoke, he ignored us, but put the two locks inside, and then took the dagger and tapped it lightly on the other side, as if he was testing the mechanism.

Jiang Xi escaped from prison, so he didn't have much equipment himself, and only carried a slap-sized bag of tricks that he carried with him, which he probably stole temporarily when he ran out. It contains a lot of strange and very delicate things, and at first glance it is used to deal with mechanisms. He ran out of prison, and before he had time to steal anything, he stole such a bag of things, and obviously had planned to come to this place to steal the treasure for a long time, but he even pulled us on his back to sweep mines.

He took out a thin copper-yellow iron sheet from the bag, and began to slowly insert it into the groove, staring intently, motionless, except for the slight movement of his wrist, even suppressing his breathing. Although no one spoke, Tang Linlin and I also knew that he had nothing to do, and began to try to crack the mechanism by himself, I think this possibility is a bit low, but at this moment, everything is in vain if you don't try, and naturally you won't bother.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, for a while, I could only hear my own breathing, the fire dragons around me were burning quietly, not like the background decoration, the frequency of the flames beating was exactly the same, all of this, all of which gave people a sense of lifelessness.

After about ten minutes, Jiang Xi's slightly moving wrist suddenly stopped, and then, in the dark, I don't know which direction, suddenly there was a clicking sound. Due to the large location of this place, and some echoes, it is really difficult to distinguish the direction of the sound.

Jiang Xi abruptly withdrew his hand and looked around vigilantly, as if looking for the source of the sound. I knew that the voice should be related to Jiang Xi's previous actions, and it seemed to be the sound of the machine being stuck.

But at this moment, except for the sound that disappeared just now, there was no other movement around

Tang Linlin also looked around and muttered, "What sound?" ”

According to Jiang Xi's previous statement, once the lock of this stone door is wrong, it is a trivial matter if it cannot be opened, and it is very likely to trigger some assassination mechanisms. What he did just now was a risky attempt. But now, there is obviously something wrong with the machine, but I don't see anything dangerous.

Could it be that this place is safe?

Judging from the previous style of Hamon, I think this possibility is really a bit low. Since this place is the last barrier of the secret palace, the danger will only be more severe

Jiang Xi obviously thought the same way, he retreated to the side of me and Tang Linlin, looked around vigilantly, and said coldly: "There may be a situation, pay attention." ”

I was half-supported by Tang Linlin at this time, although the movements were not very neat, but my eyes were as good as ever, and I quickly observed the surrounding environment.

Everything is the same as before, without any changes.

After waiting for a while, I lowered my voice and asked Jiang Xi, "What's the matter?" You didn't touch the trap? ”

Jiang Xi's expression looked a little anxious: "Bang, there are a total of fifteen machine paths behind, only one is right, and the remaining fourteen are all traps." ”

Rao is that I already knew that Jiang Xi was taking risks, and when I heard it at this time, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Fourteen Organs? This is too exaggerated, if we test one by one, the devil knows how many can we try?

If it's only three or four, it's easy to do, but there are more than ten at once, and Jiang Xi can only guess by luck, it's like tying his head to the waistband of his pants.

At this moment, Tang Linlin, who was beside me, suddenly sighed, raised her head and said in a loud voice: "Above!" "It's clear that something has been discovered. I subconsciously looked up and looked in the direction of her finger, and it was the big face I saw when I woke up earlier.

The face was still the same as before, huge, and vividly carved, as if it would come to life at any time.

After a glance, I didn't find anything, so I said, "Linlin, what are you letting us see?" Jiang Xi was also attracted to look up at this time.

Tang Linlin looked surprised and said, "A red thing just now, the size of a ping-pong ball, passed from above at once, and I don't know what it is." ”

Red? Something the size of a ping-pong ball?

I stared up, my gaze sweeping inch by inch. Above that was a dome, and the dome was a whole boulder, which was supposed to be naturally formed, and it was impossible for a human to hang it that high. The whole boulder, most of which is embedded in the mountain, and the remaining half, which is the half that we can see now, has been carved into a huge mangbird, and there are countless flower heads that resemble peonies and stamens like human faces around the bird's body.

Because it is a deep carving, even if we look up like this, many places are still blind spots. Jiang Xi changed his position and observed the Jumang bird above, and after looking around, the two of us didn't find the red thing like a table tennis ball that Tang Linlin said.

For a moment, I even wondered if she was too tired and fireworks.

Tang Linlin herself was a little unsure, scratched her head, and said, "Maybe...... I'm dazzled. ”

As soon as I said this, I suddenly felt a chill on my face, as if there were water dripping on my face. I subconsciously reached out and wiped it, and suddenly touched some cold and greasy liquid, and when I put it in front of me, it looked like glue, and there was a fishy smell.

I was startled and looked up sharply, but all I saw was the feathers of the bird.

Don't...... This stone-carved bird, drooling?

Of course this could not be, I realized that something was wrong, and immediately shifted my position, and at this moment, from the mouth of the mango bird, something red suddenly appeared. That thing was just like Tang Linlin's description, red, slightly shiny, the size of a ping-pong ball, as soon as it crawled out of the mouth of the mangbird, along the bird's head, it crawled into a dead corner of the line of sight.

What the hell is that?

Jiang Xi was much faster than me and Tang Linlin, and when that thing hid in a dead corner, his own body also moved, so although that thing disappeared from Tang Linlin's sight, Jiang Xi could see it at this moment.

I don't know what he saw, but his expressionless face, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly shouted, "You must let them get close!" As he spoke, he took off his robe.

With his movements, the larger and larger red balls appeared from the beaks of the birds, and this time, they suddenly puffed out a pair of elytra and flew towards us, and I knew that this thing was actually a bug!

Jiang Xi immediately used his robe to pounce to prevent it from approaching us, and said while beating: "What are you still doing, this thing is a red beetle raised by the Torture Hall, as soon as it gets touched by the human body, it will secrete venom, and as soon as it is stained with poison, the flesh on the body will rot in pieces, which is used by our Torture Hall to punish the clansmen who have committed major mistakes." "As I spoke, there were more and more of them, and I had a broken left arm, and I couldn't take off my clothes.

At this time, Tang Linlin took off her shirt abruptly and stuffed it directly into my right hand, while she waved her equipment bag to resist.

As soon as she took off her clothes, I found that this girl didn't even wear underwear, to be exact, her breasts were too small, and she didn't need to wear it at all, so she only wore a gray-white girl's short vest.

But I didn't have the heart to count how many breasts she had, because there were more and more of them, and although they weren't fast, the buzzing sound of their wings was just a tingling sensation. It was definitely not enough to rely on the two of them to cover, at that moment, I twisted Tang Linlin's clothes and waved them, and the three of them were back to back, barely resisting the attack of the red beetle.

But how long can these two pieces of clothing be resisted by one bag, and it is inevitable that there will be two fish that have slipped through the net, so I heard a scream, and Tang Linlin was bitten by a red beetle on her arm. She reacted quickly, and threw it on the ground with one hand, and stepped on it with one foot, and the skin on her arm was as if it had been burned by fire, and she screamed in pain.
