Chapter 9: The Sound of Rain in the Depths of the Ground

Damn, it's "too late" again, it's the second time I've heard this sentence today, Wu Xie feels that this sentence is like a spell, and it will be okay when he hears it.

A guy named Ah Hai and Da Zhao are brothers who have lived and died together, and grabbed the arm surnamed Chen and said, "What do you mean it's too late?" Isn't this man still panting! Do you want to die without saving? ”

The surnamed Chen was about to turn around and leave, when he was grabbed by the arm, so he stopped and looked back at Ah Hai's face quietly.

Ah Hai was stunned by the other party's dark eyes, but after thinking about it, the black glasses were not there, there was only one person left in the Chen family here, and the other party was weak and had nothing to fear. So he didn't let go of his hand and glared back again.

Wu Xie understood that his men were undoubtedly angry in this matter. But the indifferent attitude of the surname Chen still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

If the indifference to Da Zhao's life and death is because the two have never known each other, then the distress of the black glasses does not seem to cause any emotional fluctuations in the young man surnamed Chen.

Who is he, what is his relationship with the blind man, and what is the purpose of this trip?

The identity of this young man suddenly became confusing as the black glasses left the team.

"Yes, human life is not child's play, friends might as well make it clear, so that we can have a judgment."

Lao Sun also stood up and stopped in front of the surnamed Chen.

Wu Xie wanted to take this opportunity to probe the bottom of the surname Chen, so he was silent and waited for the changes.

The young man looked around at Lao Sun and the others, and saw that the other party had a posture of not giving up if he didn't say one, two, three, and sighed: "You untie his clothes." ”

Da Zhao's collar was pulled open, and everyone took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp. I saw that centered on the wound on Da Zhao's neck, a dense black line was spreading to his chest like a spider web, and some of them had spread to the position of his heart.

The surnamed Chen said slowly: "This is not an ordinary scorpion, but a highly poisonous sand scorpion that seals its throat when it sees blood." No matter where you are stung, you will be paralyzed instantly. And once you hurt a key part such as the head and neck, there is basically no help. ”

"Since you know that this scorpion is so powerful, you didn't go to help the blind man just now?" The fat man cried out, "Aren't you all together? ”

Wu Xie couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and said in his heart that the organs here are so vicious, it seems that the black glasses are probably more auspicious this time.

In fact, if you put aside the things related to the stuffy oil bottle, the black glasses can be said to be one of the few people in the world who can support Wu Xie's life. For the black glasses to be in danger because of himself, it is impossible for Wu Xie not to feel guilty in his heart.

The surnamed Chen shook his head lightly and said, "What the black master can't do, it's useless for me to go." Besidesβ€”"

He said with a faint expression: "He stayed in there to save the third master." ”

Lao Sun heard him speak with implicit sarcasm, and was about to reason with him, Wu Xie waved his hand and stood up and said: "Things have come to this point, everyone doesn't have to hide anything to say." This time, Friend Chen must not be aiming for my Wu Xie's face, and now it seems that he doesn't seem to buy Heiye's account. So, what is the purpose of Friend Chen, you might as well say it and listen to it. ”

They had already lost two people to the first mechanism, including the best black glasses, who had not been able to get out. The next road is bound to be more dangerous, and Wu Xie doesn't want some uncontrollable factors within the team to have an unpredictable impact on the operation.

Although there were many people on Wu Xie's side, the young man surnamed Chen didn't seem to be worried about his situation, he looked at Wu Xie sideways, and said with a calm expression: "If I say that the purpose of my trip is to be dumb Zhang, will you believe it?" ”

Wu Xie looked at him coldly, obviously not satisfied with his answer.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and the surnamed Chen suddenly spread his hands and said, "Okay, I'll be honest." ”

"Actually, the Chen family is looking for something here."

"Something?" Wu Xie frowned and said, "What is it?" ”

"I can't advise you on that."

Ignoring the murderous eyes of Lao Sun and the others, the surnamed Chen calmly looked at Wu Xie Dao: "This thing is useless for ordinary people, but it is inevitable for our Chen family." Little Third Master, you look for your Zhang Qiling, I'll take my things, we cooperate with each other, how about taking what we need? ”

Wu Xie and the fat man glanced at each other, it seemed that there were still many secrets buried in this underground labyrinth that they didn't know, and this young man with the background of the Chen family, he undoubtedly had much more information than himself.

"It's not impossible to partner up, but the ugly words are in front," the fat man said: "If what your Chen family wants, it happens to be the same thing as what the little brother is looking for here, don't blame me Wang Fat Man for turning his face and not recognizing people when the time comes." ”

The surnamed Chen smiled faintly and said, "Then let's rely on our own abilities." ”

Although the purpose of this young man surnamed Chen is not pure, it is a help that Wu Xie has to rely on temporarily.

According to Wu Xie's original plan, Black Glasses was supposed to lead everyone to the place separated from the stuffy oil bottle first, and then find the mechanism to enter. But I didn't expect that this labyrinth was far from being as simple as I imagined, and the second time I came in, I couldn't find the original way at all. And now, in the case of losing contact with even the black glasses, if you want to continue to go deeper, it seems that you have to choose to cooperate with the people of the Chen family.

The young man surnamed Chen said: "Since the words have been spoken, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so let's find a way out as soon as possibleβ€”β€”"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly there was a thin rustling sound from the depths of the corridor, like dense raindrops hitting the stone slabs.

This is deep underground, and the sound of rain on the ground cannot be heard. Coupled with the emptiness and depth in this corridor, it seems that this voice appears abruptly and strangely.

The rustling sound spread from far and near, at a very fast speed.

Everyone took out their flashlights and shone them around, but they couldn't find the source of this strange sound.

Suddenly, someone pointed to the top of his head and said, "There's something up there!" ”

Everyone turned the light over, and at some point the dark red stone top turned black, and if you look closely, this black seems to be still flowing!

Wu Xie swept the light into the distance, and found that the entire stone roof was surging with this thick black substance. And as this "black" accumulates thicker and thicker overhead, some "black rain" has begun to drip down.

A guy nicknamed stammering was dripping into his neck by the "rain", and he felt something itchy to drill in, he reached out and touched it, and actually pressed a hard little grain.

He put Xiao Li'er under the flashlight and looked at it, and said in surprise: "This, these things, these things, are insects!" ”

I didn't expect that the dense crouches above my head were actually an army of mobile bugs, not to mention the danger of these strange bugs, with this number of scales alone, if they fell together, it would be enough to bury these few people alive.

The fat man muttered: "Damn, it's a scorpion and a worm, it seems that there is no shortage of food here for the little brother." ”

Suddenly he stammered and screamed, grabbed one of his hands and cried out in pain.

Wu Xie looked over and saw that the fingers of his stammering right hand seemed to be corroded by something, and they were blurred with flesh and blood.

"What's going on?"

"Iβ€”I've flattened the worm without paying attention......" said the fellow with a cry, his injured hand shaking.

Lao Sun hurriedly went up to rinse the guy with clean water, carefully examined the wound, and said, "It's not like poisoning-"

"It's a strong acid."

The young man surnamed Chen said calmly.

He looked up at the black "insect tide" flowing above his head, and his expression became solemn: "This is a desert beetle that secretes a corrosive solution, which is much more terrifying than marching ants, and everything that encounters them will instantly disappear from their bones. ”

The fat man stammered: "This ghost insect is so powerful, and there are buckets of sulfuric acid hanging above our heads!" ”

"Naive, it seems that the work here is not simple, are we defending or breaking through?"

Wu Xie frowned deeply, although he was prepared in his heart, but the sinister degree of this underground palace was far beyond his imagination. Nearly every step of the way is designed to kill and leave no room for life.

What secrets are buried underground?

Why do you have to come here?

Before Wu Xie could speak, the young man surnamed Chen suddenly said, "I'm afraid it's too late to leave now." ”

Just as he was talking, the overwhelming "insect rain" suddenly "fell".

There was nowhere to hide in the narrow corridors, so everyone had to take off their coats to cover their heads and necks.

After a while, a layer of black linen beetles accumulated under his feet.

Suddenly, Ah Hai exclaimed, "Da Zhao", and everyone realized that Da Zhao, who was originally lying on the ground, had almost been buried by dense insects, and the whole person was like a black humanoid package, and his face and clothes were no longer visible.

Ah Hai ran over and pounced with his hands, but the insects slapped off layer after layer. Ah Hai hurriedly dug with his hands, but suddenly he was bitten by something and screamed.

Wu Xie pulled Ah Hai's hand out of the pile of insects, only to see a thick layer of beetles brought out of Ah Hai's right hand.

Ah Hai was in unbearable pain and shook his hands like crazy.

Wu Xie didn't dare to smash the beetle, so he asked the two of them to hold down Ah Hai, took out a lighter and used the fire to disperse the insects.

When the beetles encountered the open flame, they fell down one after another, and Ah Hai's face turned pale, and his whole face was distorted from the pain.

As the number of insects continued to decrease, Ah Hai's palm was still not exposed, but something white faintly appeared.

Wu Xie felt a chill in his heart and sped up the cleanup.

Finally, Ah Hai's hand was revealed from the insect package, but where there was any flesh and blood, it was clear that only a pair of Bai Sensen's palm skeletons remained!

Ah Hai screamed and fainted. All those present who witnessed this scene were also shocked and couldn't keep their mouths shut.
