Chapter 15: Mutation
If you take a closer look, the body of this "black rain" is actually the kind of desert beetle that can secrete a strong corrosive liquid!
The fat man roared: "This ghost insect is not afraid of people now, could it be that Taoist Chen's ghost painting charm is not working?" ”
Wu Xie immediately made a decision and shouted in a low voice: "Go!" At the moment, the formation was changed, Liu Er was holding Lao Sun, stammering and driving Ah Hai, and after the fat man's palace, the six people quickly withdrew from this corridor.
But not long after I walked out, I saw two miserable white hands hanging out of thin air in the dark corridor in front of me, blocking everyone's way!
Could it be that the ghost of this "Da Zhao" is still lingering, and he moved to the front in an instant? Wu Xie felt a pang in his heart, signaling everyone to be on guard, and he slowly pulled out the cold steel knife.
And at this moment, the fat man's scolding voice came from behind: ", why is there another one here?" ”
Looking back, it turned out that in the corridor behind him, there was also a pair of miserable white ghost hands hanging straight in the air.
Everyone used flashlights to shine on both sides, and under the strong light, the two bloodless faces also revealed the true face of Lushan. People on both sides blurted out exclaims-
"Liu Da!"
"Da Zhao!"
Liu Er exhaled even more painfully: "Big brother, how did you become like this?" Lao Sun's face was burned, he couldn't see, and he asked in disbelief: "Could it be that Liu Da is also ......?" ”
Now that the front road and the back road are blocked, Wu Xie gritted his teeth and said: "So far, it seems that there is no way to hide, and the only way out is to fight with these monsters!" ”
The fat man also red-eyed, and said: "This way is too bag, no matter what the hell it is, it's a big deal to fight him to the death of the net, and he will also avenge the brothers who folded here!" ”
Wu Xie was holding a cold steel knife, and he was about to rush over to solve the "Da Liu" who was blocking the front first.
At this time, I suddenly saw that the expression on the face of "Da Liu" became very miserable, and two lines of tears actually flowed from his eyes.
The "tears" were black, snaking down along the paper-white face of "Da Liu", gradually spreading to the whole body, and then began to fall from the air bit by bit. This "rain of tears" fell to the ground and dispersed, and it turned out to be those ubiquitous desert beetles! And the "Da Zhao" who was blocked behind also began to spew out "black rain" from his mouth endlessly at this time.
I saw that the two "people" hanging above their heads began to stick their backs to the top of the stone, and in a very strange posture, they slowly squirmed from two directions to the middle and surrounded them, Wu Xie and the other six people had to huddle back to back, and took out their clothes to cover the "insect rain" falling from the sky.
In the chaos, I only heard an exclamation, and it turned out that while everyone was in a hurry, two "people" and four miserable ghost hands reached out to the people silently. Among them, the two ghost hands of "Da Liu" grabbed the stammering shoulders!
"Little, little third master, help, help!"
The stutter was lifted into the air, and his legs kicked wildly but he couldn't break free, and the "Da Liu" above his head slowly opened his big mouth. This mouth is not at all like a human mouth, there are no teeth or tongue in it, it is like a black hole, and it is about to swallow people into it.
Wu Xie immediately swung his knife and stepped forward to save people. But at this moment, a sharp sound of a sharp weapon breaking the wind suddenly came from the dark corridor, and then a line of silver light swept through the air, nailed into the throat of "Da Liu" at the last moment!
"Da Liu's" movements froze, and then his entire facial expression twisted sharply, and his originally stiff body began to twitch non-stop, as if something was struggling to come out of his body.
Then "Da Liu"'s face suddenly cracked in an instant, his eyes, mouth, and even his nostrils were stretched out and deformed to a terrifying degree, and countless black desert beetles gushed out of these orifices like a tide, and then quickly disappeared around the corpse. And the stammerer also took the opportunity to get rid of the clamp and escaped back with a rolling belt.
I saw that with the gushing out of the "insect tide", the body of "Da Liu" quickly dried up, and finally only a pair of empty skins remained, which were nailed by steel darts and hung on the top of the road.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned, until Liu Er let out a heart-rending scream-
"Big brother!"
Except for the fading echoes, no one spoke in the corridor for a long time. And the mutated "Da Zhao" disappeared silently with the insect tide at some point.
Da Zhao and Da Liu are dead, the whereabouts of the dark glasses are unknown, Ah Hai was seriously injured and lost his right hand, and Lao Sun was injured by strong acid, and even his eyelids were glued together, I don't know if there is a big problem with a pair of tricks.
When he came in, there were only four people, Wu Xie, Fat Man, Stuttering, and Liu Er, who were still capable of moving.
Wu Xie was in a heavy mood, and slowly raised his head to look at Taoist Priest Chen who appeared at the end of the Yongdao.
"It's all you, a fake Taoist, your broken talisman doesn't work at all, you killed my eldest brother!"
Liu Er rushed over hysterically, but was held down by the old grandson next to him when he heard the sound.
Daoist Chen was expressionless, glanced around at everyone, and said, "This beetle is afraid of spells, so it changed its strategy. They used the corpse of the dead Da Zhao to get close to and attack people, which I didn't expect, but I can only say that the mechanism design here is too powerful-"
"Who the hell are you?"
Facing Wu Xie's cold eyes, Taoist priest Chen was slightly stunned, and then said lightly: "I'm the partner of the little third master?" ”
Wu Xie said coldly: "Friend Chen knows everything about this place, but we don't know anything. I would like to know, what did Friend Chen like about my surname Wu and rush to cooperate with us? ”
Taoist priest Chen smiled faintly and said, "Since the third master has said this, it seems that it is difficult for us to conspire with each other." Then, Chen will say goodbye! ”
As soon as Taoist priest Chen Gang turned around, he heard the sound of a gun bolt pulling behind him.
An old-fashioned pistol held the fat man's hand and pointed at the back of Taoist priest Chen, and the fat man squeezed his eyes at Wu Xie and said, "Came out of the ghost's lair." ”
Taoist priest Chen said slowly: "What do you want?" ”
The fat man said: "Tell me everything you know, and we will naturally not embarrass you." ”
Taoist priest Chen didn't look at the fat man, but looked at Wu Xie Dao: "The secret in this Gaochang labyrinth is not something that you can afford to be present, and I advise the little third master to stop here and retreat." Chen Mou's words are all here, friends should do it themselves. ”
After speaking, he didn't look back, turned around and disappeared into the corridor.
Wu Xie pressed the body of the gun in the fat man's hand, looked at the direction in which Taoist Chen disappeared, and said, "Forget it, although this person is full of suspicions, he has not harmed us along the way." ”
The fat man disagreed: "If he had shared the information from the beginning, we wouldn't have so many unnecessary losses." How can this account be calculated if it is not counted on his head? ”
Wu Xie said lightly: "If the purpose of him and the little brother here is something under this ground, then in the end, we will still have to fight each other." He has done his best to do this. ”
The fat man rolled his eyes and glared at Wu Xie, with a look of hatred that iron is not steel: "Innocence, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself." Since we know that he will fight against us sooner or later, we shouldn't let him go to trouble the little brother! ”
At this moment, something flashed through Wu Xie's brain.
He suddenly remembered that Black Glasses had said that the group had entered the labyrinth for the first time, and that the Stuffy Oil Bottle had finally triggered a trap and locked them outside a stone door. And Taoist priest Chen seems to have discovered such a stone gate and tried to hide its existence from everyone.
From this point of view, what Daoist Chen and the little brother were looking for was probably behind the stone door.
But since Daoist Chen had already found the door, why didn't he go in, but remained in the labyrinth? Can't he go in by his own ability? Or is he waiting for some particular moment?
At this time, Stammering and Liu Er had already taken down Da Liu's body, to be exact, only a human skin remained. Although the wounds on Lao Sun's face have been disinfected, his eyelids still can't be opened.
In order to prevent Da Liu's human skin from being used by beetles again, several people took out solid fuel and cremated Da Liu's human skin.
People did these things silently, and no one spoke during the whole process, and the morale of the group was extremely low.
The fat man in Wu Xie's impression was rarely so silent, and it seemed that this operation really made him feel aggrieved.
Labyrinths, quicksands, scorpions, beetles, mutated teammates...... Everything they encounter here gives them a sense of being overwhelmed, and their only coping strategy so far has been to run, keep running......
At this time, Wu Xie would rather pop out a few zongzi or even Milotuo from somewhere, at least he can do him with a real knife!
Looking at Liu Er's eyes that were almost collapsed, and Lao Sun's bandaged face, Wu Xie secretly made a decision in his heart.
He patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "The road is facing the sky, go to each side." Even if we don't have the surname Chen, we can still find the stone door with our own skills. ”
The fat man sighed, pinned the gun to his waist, and nodded silently.
At that moment, the fat man and Wu Xie took the lead, Liu Er stammered and supported the old grandson Ahai Hall respectively, and the group of six people continued to explore the way out.
The fat man was always angry about the changes in "Da Zhao" and "Da Liu", and said: "Those ghost insects can actually manipulate corpses, is there a problem with the feng shui in this Gaochang King City, and even the insects are fucking sperm?" ”
Wu Xie shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate these little creatures like insects and ants, they are also wise. ”
"What wisdom can bugs have?" The fat man said disdainfully: "Even the head and tail are only as small as a grain of rice, how much brain capacity can it have?" I think it's because there are too many dead people in the ground, and there are ghosts haunting them. ”
Wu Xie said: "Insects don't have brains in the first place, where does the brain capacity come from." Usually let you have nothing to do, read more books, you just listen to the wind, and when something happens, you are always full of ghosts, snakes, gods, feudal superstitions. ”
