Chapter 21: Corpse Ant Fighting
Li Yutao's living corpse kept approaching, his empty eyes did not have any pupils, and the residual blood and brains at the corners of his mouth were dripping constantly, and an evil smile appeared at the corners of his mouth as he approached, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of slaughter.
And as Li Yutao's living corpse approached, Wei Lai and the others kept retreating, but the voice of the human-faced giant ant behind him was getting closer and closer, making everyone's faces show a look of despair.
Huo Meng's legs trembled, and he asked in a panic: "Wei Lai, you quickly find a way, I don't want to be bitten to death by living corpses and giant ants." After Huo Meng finished speaking, he shivered all over, and immediately shuddered at the thought of being about to be eaten.
Wei Lai looked at the crimson coffin on the top floor, obviously the last hope, if there is no soul nail, this time the ancient tomb is a trip in vain, because the distance is too far to see the material of the coffin, but Wei Lai basically has no hope, because the other coffins in the ancient tomb are sarcophagus, the material of the main coffin will never be lowered, there will be no wooden coffin at all, and there will be no soul nail.
Wei Lai heard Huo Meng's words and knew that now was not the time to panic, if he didn't want to find a way, everyone would die, but in the face of living corpses and giant ants, even if there were many people, he would not be able to return to the sky, this was not something that human beings could fight against at all, unless he could depict the blood rune and the purple rune.
When the human-faced giant ant behind him appeared at the staircase, Wei Lai's eyes saw that a human face grew on the ant's body, the distorted facial features were particularly hideous, the two mouths and palates in the mouth were extremely sharp, and the color of the body was blue and red, and the overall appearance was beyond human cognition.
The living corpse and the giant ant trapped everyone at the top of the stairs, and the two kept approaching everyone, and the glass pendant on Wei Lai's chest shone brightly, but it could only slow down the pace of the living corpse and make it fearful, but it could not stop the living corpse from advancing.
"Damn, I'm going to die anyway, everyone jump with me." Wei Lai saw the human-faced giant ant step on the stairs, jumped directly down the stairs, and landed on the ground on the second floor, rolling immediately the moment he landed, to cushion the rebound force of the landing.
Huo Meng and the others have completely lost their judgment, when Wei Lai took the lead in making a demonstration, and the survival ** let him jump decisively, Huo Meng and Wen Xiu were okay, the two fell to the ground smoothly, and Zhang Qiang accidentally twisted his ankle, and the cold sweat of pain flowed.
"There's no time to hesitate, just get into the bell right away." Wei Lai saw that the living corpse and the giant ant were still at the stairs, and made a decisive decision.
"This is a mourning bell, and it's unlucky to go in." Huo Meng hesitated, and Wen Xiu and Zhang Qiang also refused, after all, the Soul Bell is a filthy thing, and it will be difficult for a living person to be contaminated with yin qi.
"Want to live or die?" Wei Lai dropped a word, and he took the lead in lying down and crawling into the mourning bell.
Huo Meng saw Wei Lai like this, and also followed Wei Lai into the Soul Bell, and the remaining Wenxiu and Zhang Qiang, although they were a little reluctant, but in this case, it was a luxury to be able to save their lives, and gritted their teeth and entered the inside of the bell.
Wei Lai actually planned that if he jumped down the stairs and everyone was not injured, he could run outside the palace, which would have a better chance of survival, and if someone was injured and entered the mourning bell, it would be better than waiting for death at the stairs.
The exterior of the Mourning Bell is rusty, but the interior is full of psychedelic scenes, the crystal wall of the bell emits a blue-yellow halo, illuminating the entire area inside the bell, but this halo does not overflow, as if it is blocked in the Mourning Bell.
Looking at the halo, the inside of the mourning bell is depicted with countless lines, the simple lines are uncertain with the halo, sometimes outlined into a cyan skeleton, sometimes condensed into a yellow ghoul, and the skeleton bell hangs at the top of the inside, which rustles with the flickering of the halo, making Wei Lai and the others dizzy.
The most peculiar thing is that the inside of this mourning bell can be seen outside, and through the carved lines, the entire second-floor hall is completely different from before, full of dead and evil atmosphere.
Looking through the mourning bell, the entire hall is completely blue and yellow, there is a thick corpse gas floating in the hall, and there are messy yellow footprints on the ground, which are the traces of everyone walking just now, and there are ghosts wandering outside the main hall, and many ghosts are obviously the condensation of the grievances of the terracotta warriors after their deaths, and they are blocked by the black and white impermanence at the door.
"This is the real tomb world, we can't usually see it at all." Wei Lai vaguely felt that the bell wall of this mourning bell was similar to the yin and yang eyes, which allowed them to see things that they couldn't usually see.
"What about the living corpses and giant ants, why didn't they chase them?" Huo Meng shook his head and forcibly cheered himself up.
Wei Lai also felt strange, when they entered the inside of the Death Bell, the living corpses and giant ants did not move, it stands to reason that they jumped down the stairs, and the living corpses and giant ants would chase after them, but now they surprisingly did not appear outside.
"There are voices." The crowd pricked up their ears and heard a loud noise at the staircase.
"Peng"
Just when everyone was listening carefully, the mourning bell was hit by a heavy object, and then slowly vibrated up, making a buzzing sound, shaking the corpse qi in the hall, as if it was the soul hooking sound of the dementor, impacting everyone's eardrums and roaring continuously, losing hearing in a short time, the ghosts outside the hall heard the bell ringing, as if they were called by some kind of call, struggling to impact the inside of the hall, but they were blocked by black and white impermanence, but there was a faint posture to break through the barrier.
Just as the ghost was about to rush into the main hall, there was a crisp sound of sword weapons concussion from the top floor, and a blazing sun fire swept in, dispersing the ghosts and protecting the safety of the main hall.
"What's on the top floor that can resist ghosts?" Wei Lai was puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, now the main thing is to save his life.
The thing that hit the Soul Bell fell, it was the terrifying human-faced giant ant, at this time, the human-faced giant ant was red all over, its huge mouth and palate were constantly swinging, and its six legs moved strongly, quickly changing its position, and attacking the front.
Everyone looked in front of the human-faced giant ant, and the living corpse had a hideous look on its face, its fangs and ten fingers were extremely sharp, and its empty eyes were staring at the human-faced giant ant, with a bloodthirsty and vengeful expression on its face.
"By the way, they have a grudge." Wei Lai clapped his hands excitedly, and suddenly thought of the relationship between the living corpse and the giant ant, the remnant soul in the living corpse is the ghost of the burial pit, and the body of the ghost of the burial pit is eaten by ants, and the two can be described as bitter and bitter.
"Fight, fight, fight and lose, it's best to die together." Wei Lai stared excitedly at the confronting living corpses and giant ants, as long as the two fought, they would have hope of escaping, although they did not find the soul suppression nail this time, but it was fortunate to be able to save their lives.
The reddened body of the human-faced giant ant slowly overflowed with toxin, and when the toxin was infused into the mouth and palate, it quickly approached the living corpse, and the giant ant the size of the earth dog moved quickly, and when it reached the front of the living corpse, it jumped up violently, and the mouth and palate attacked the head of the living corpse.
The living corpse is not slow, and reacts when the giant ant attacks, and when the giant ant jumps up, his face shows a hideous look, his hands are in front of him, and his sharp nails are waving, trying to tear the human-faced giant ant.
The attacks of the two collided together, and they bounced away in an instant, alerting each other, and looking for the next opportunity to attack, the abdomen of the human-faced giant ant was scratched by the living corpse with blood, revealing a yellow thick phlegm-like liquid, and the arm of the living corpse was bitten by the giant ant, dripping with red and blue blood.
When Wei Lai saw this, he was terrified, whether it was the mouth and palate of the human-faced giant ant or the sharp fingers of the living corpse, such a terrifying attack caused slight damage to the other party, which showed the hardness of the bodies of the two, if they really faced it, there was no room for the four of them to resist.
"Fortunately, fortunately, we are hiding in the mourning bell, Wei Lai, you really saved us." Wen Xiu said gratefully, if it weren't for Wei Lai's choice to decisively enter the Soul Bell, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
"That is, if we are really caught up, we are thin physiques, and the human-faced giant ants don't even vomit bones when they eat them, and they chew them directly, and maybe they complain about their lack of toughness." Huo Meng said with a wry smile.
The body of the human-faced giant ant overflowed with toxins again, and the crimson toxins continued to converge on the surface of the body, especially on the mouth and palate, the color of the toxins was the deepest, and the faces of the living corpses were even more hideous, and they were no longer Li Yutao's appearance at this time.
"Look, it's fighting again." Zhang Qiang stared at the battle outside and whispered to everyone.
The living corpse moves very quickly, but every time it turns around, there is a slight stagnation, the wisdom of the human-faced giant ant is very high, it is to grasp the weakness of the living corpse, constantly wandering around the living corpse, while the living corpse has not had time to turn around, the human-faced giant ant decisively launched an attack, directly biting the thigh of the living corpse.
The living corpse reacted a little slowly, and was bitten on the thigh by the human-faced giant ant, but the painless living corpse quickly raised its leg, bounced the human-faced giant ant on the leg, and hit the outside of the mourning bell again.
"Knock Knock ......"
The mourning bell rang, shaking the corpse qi in the house, and the remnant souls outside the hall were stimulated, and rushed inward again frantically, wanting to enter the mourning bell, vaguely, the mourning bell seemed to have a great attraction to ghosts.
Although the human-faced giant ant was bounced open, it bit off the flesh and blood of the living corpse in its mouth, and the wounds on the legs of the living corpse slowly decomposed, obviously infected with the rotten poison of the giant ant, and even the movement was a little sluggish.
"What a powerful toxin, we must not be contaminated with the poison of this human-faced giant ant, otherwise our lives will not be saved." Wei Lai's eyes narrowed, and he said to a few people behind him.
The living corpse was bitten by the giant ant with human face, and let out an angry roar, and the meat scraps and blood clots in its mouth splashed everywhere, killing the giant ant that fell down from the bell of the soul, and kept waving his hands to dismember the giant ant.
"They're not going to find us, are they?" Wen Xiu covered her mouth and asked worriedly.
Wei Lai stared at the battle situation outside, shook his head and said: "Our aura has been discovered by them, but when the living corpse and the giant ant enemy meet, they can't take care of us at all, as long as they die together or both are defeated, we have hope of survival." ”
"So what do we do now?"
"Pray."
“……”
The living corpse did not give the giant ant a chance to move at all, and kept attacking it, if it were not for the hard body of the giant ant, I am afraid that it would have been torn to shreds long ago, even so, the wound on the giant ant's abdomen cracked open again, and yellow pus and blood continued to flow out.
On the other hand, the wound on the leg of the living corpse aggravated again, and the giant ant found a chance to successfully bite it, and its fingers were covered with red toxins, and its movements became sluggish, and its breath began to weaken.
"It's time to decide the winner." Wei Lai looked nervously, and saw that the living corpse and the giant ant were in a stalemate, obviously accumulating the last of their strength.
The giant ant chirped, the fluff and barbs of its body towered, the red toxin spewed out of the surface, the hard shell turned demonic red, and the living corpse roared and roared towards the giant ant, both hands and fangs at the same time.
The living corpse has an advantage in all aspects, but because the body of the human-faced giant ant is too hard, the legs of the living corpse are seriously injured.
The giant ants and the living corpses did not dodge, the living corpses wanted to tear the giant ants directly, and the giant ants relied on the hardness of their bodies to contend with them, in their opinion, the threat of Wei Lai and the others was minimal, as long as the current enemy was killed, the remaining human beings were a delicious meal.
The two collided fiercely, the fangs of the living corpse bit the neck of the giant ant, the fingers tore the originally injured abdomen of the giant ant, and the mouth and palate of the giant ant pierced into the chest of the living corpse, piercing upwards from the chest, exposing the back of the head of the living corpse.
"It's all fatal wounds, and we're saved." Wei Lai looked excitedly at the battle outside, and his body trembled with excitement when he saw the living corpses and giant ants hitting each other's vital points.
Originally, he was in a desperate situation, but he didn't expect that the living corpses and giant ants were natural enemies, and he rescued everyone in a thrilling way, if it weren't for this, Wei Lai really didn't know how to escape, after all, his own strength was too weak, and it was not worth mentioning in the face of the weird cemetery, Wei Lai decided that as long as he could get out, he would definitely study the yellow scrolls and talismans carefully, so as to ensure his safety in the future search.
The living corpses and giant ants trembled constantly, struggling to bite each other, trying to use their last strength to win, and they fought together, blood and pus pooled together and flowed in the hall.
The more fierce the fight between the two, the more excited Wei Lai's expression became, in his opinion, the blood of this human-faced giant ant is a good thing, this is the blood of a rare and exotic beast, and it has a good effect on making blood talismans.
"Wei Lai, they don't move, are they all dead?" Wenxiu frowned, the thrill of the ancient tomb was beyond her imagination, and she had long regretted participating in this archaeological activity.
"Don't move yet, I'll go out and see how things go." Wei Lai came out from under the mourning bell and admonished everyone inside.
At this time, the hall was completely quiet, the bodies of the living corpses and giant ants were motionless, and the ghosts outside the hall still existed, but they were in a state of wandering, no longer pushing inside, which also made Wei Lai breathe a sigh of relief, and the tense nerves were temporarily relaxed.
However, Liuli Pei was still shining, the cyan light shone in the room, and the misty corpse qi became thicker and thicker, as if it was about to turn into a liquid state, Wei Lai pinched up the black talisman and slowly walked towards the living corpse and the giant ant.
When he walked up, Wei Laiding looked at it, and he almost fainted with fright.
