Chapter 226: Giant Corpse Beetle

I wondered how slowly the "jewel" was moving.

"Holy! This thing moves! Weizi shouted, and immediately aimed his gun at the "jewel".

Ouyang Yi stared at the "gem" for a while, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and exclaimed: "This ...... This can't be a giant corpse beetle. ”

"What!?" Wen Qingshan and I shouted out almost in unison.

"Dr. Ouyang, don't scare me!"

Ouyang Yi said in a heavy tone: "I'm not kidding! According to classical records, corpse beetles are social species, their living habits are actually somewhat similar to ants, in their population, there is often a huge queen of insects, in my opinion, this thing is probably the queen of the corpse beetle swarm! ”

As soon as Ouyang Yi's words fell, the huge "jewel" suddenly raised its upper body, and when we looked at it, we couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, it was really a corpse beetle!

Because of its huge size, almost every detail on its head can be seen clearly, and a pair of large palates at the corners of its mouth are more than a foot long, and they are opening and closing rapidly, making people shudder.

Chen Biao didn't say a word, picked up the gun, aimed it at the giant corpse beetle and pulled the trigger, but unexpectedly, the bullet hit the hard back shell of the corpse beetle, but it only left a concave mark on its back shell, which failed to penetrate.

Chen Biao used a special mercury gun, which was said to be very powerful, much stronger than an ordinary pistol, almost comparable to the power of a rifle, but now it failed to shoot through the back shell of this monster, Chen Biao couldn't help but be taken aback: "Why is the shell of this thing so hard!?" ”

He shouted angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't beat you!" After saying that, he snatched the automatic rifle from Weizi's hand on the side, and swept out a shuttle of bullets towards the giant corpse beetle.

Comparatively speaking, automatic rifles are still more powerful than pistols, and the rate of fire is much faster, the giant corpse beetle was shot by a continuous bullet, and immediately let out an extremely piercing scream, the sound was obviously beyond the range of the human ear, I suddenly felt a tingling in my ears, if it weren't for the helmets we were wearing, which had a little blocking effect on the sound, I suspect that the sound was enough to perforate the eardrum.

Before we could come to our senses, the bones in the tomb suddenly turned over, and everyone looked around, and couldn't help but be surprised, but they didn't expect that the corpse beetles that were originally hiding under the bones seemed to have received some orders, and they all came out one after another.

Ouyang Yi exclaimed: "Not good! These corpse beetles must have come out to protect their queens! ”

When Chen Biao heard this, he immediately stopped shooting.

Hundreds of corpse beetles swarmed towards us from all directions, and soon surrounded several of us, but they didn't dare to get too close for fear of the glare from our helmets.

Looking at the black corpse beetle swarm in front of me, I couldn't help but feel nervous in my heart, I didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly raised the Tiangang Demon Mirror high, Ouyang Yi also immediately twisted his cane, and the top of the cane lit up with a red light again.

I don't know if it's because I'm too nervous, but I feel that the red light seems to be a little fainter than just now.

I held the Tiangang Demon Mirror behind the red light, and immediately a red light was reflected, and the corpse beetles illuminated by this red light dodged one after another, but this time they did not flee in all directions like just now, even if they were dispersed by the red light, it didn't take a moment to gather again.

"Damn, these things seem to be getting more ferocious!" I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Social species tend to be fearless and more aggressive when it comes to protecting insect queens," Wen said. ”

"Then they won't rush through, will they?" I said without concern.

"It's hard to say! In a sense, this burial chamber can be regarded as the territory of corpse beetles, in nature, if the anthill is invaded by natural enemies, the soldier ants will fight to protect the queen bee, knowing that it is death, and if these corpse beetles feel that we pose a threat to their queen, they are afraid that the red light will not be able to block them. Wen Qingshan replied.

Ouyang Yi nodded, and said to Long Yi without looking back: "Long Yi, don't pay attention to so much, hurry up and find a way to open the stone gate, let's get out of here first." ”

Long Yi immediately turned around and continued to fiddle with the gossip mechanism on the side of the stone gate.

The swarm of corpse beetles is gathering more and more, and I don't know where it came from. Although the swarm did not attack, looking at the countless corpse beetles wielding their large palates in front of them, even the most daring people inevitably felt a little trembling.

Everyone held their breath, no one dared to move, but at this moment, the giant corpse beetle suddenly let out a piercing scream, and the corpse beetle swarm suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and it was not afraid of the strong light, and swarmed towards us.

At this moment, only to hear a "boom", the stone door behind us opened, and the dragon shouted loudly: "Hurry up!" ”

Everyone hurriedly retreated to the stone gate. Ouyang Yi and I were originally standing at the front, so when we retreated, we were the last, and before I could cross the stone gate, a few corpse beetles had already crawled onto my calves.

I hurriedly raised my leg and shook it violently, but as soon as I threw off the corpse beetles, more corpse beetles crawled onto my legs, and some of them had begun to tear my pants with their large palates, although I was wearing bulletproof vests on the upper body, but the lower body was wearing ordinary pants, I had to run wildly while slapping the corpse beetles that crawled on me with my hands, but before I slapped a few times, I felt a sharp pain in my calf, as if the muscles were forcibly torn.

I screamed in pain, my heart was in a hurry, and I didn't know where the strength came from for a while, and I kicked my feet violently, and my body volleyed into the air, and I jumped into the air.

The moment my body fell to the ground again, I felt a strong air flow burst out of my body, and this air flow quickly spread in all directions, and the corpse beetle swarm around my body was hit by this air current, and let out a series of screams.

When the air dissipated, I looked around again, and was stunned to see that most of the corpse beetles were already belly up, and there was no movement, and only a small number were dying.

In any case, I never imagined that things would change so dramatically.

I was stunned for a long time and didn't come to my senses, I was in a daze, there was a sudden movement in front of me, I immediately looked up, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the giant corpse beetle was actually fine!

It was clearly enraged, and after a shrill scream, it swooped down on me with its big palate, and I didn't dare to slack off, why did it lay its teeth across my chest.

The speed of the giant corpse beetle was extremely fast, as soon as I put myself in a position, it had already rushed to me, a pair of huge palates like iron pincers towards my head, I hurriedly threw my head back, dodged this fatal blow, it straightened a pair of giant palates and pushed forward, the tip of the giant palate hit my chest, my body immediately stumbled, almost fell, fortunately I was wearing body armor on the upper body, otherwise my chest would have been opened by its pair of giant palates.

The giant corpse beetle didn't give me a chance to breathe, and before I could stand still, it quickly pounced again, I hurriedly clenched the dragon's teeth, and stabbed it towards one of its black and shiny eyes, who knew that it just raised its head, but this time it pierced its hard huge palate, my wrist was suddenly shaken and hurt, and the dragon tooth in my hand almost fell off.

I hurriedly took two steps back, and the giant corpse beetle quickly approached, this monster was amazingly powerful, if I continued to fight it, not only did I have no chance of winning, but I could be killed by its pair of giant palates at any time, I hurriedly rolled on the ground, intending to go around behind it, and then wait for an opportunity to attack its weak parts.

Unexpectedly, although the monster was very large, it was quite agile in its movements, and it immediately turned around, not giving me a chance to go around behind it.

At this moment, Wen Qingshan turned around and returned to the tomb, he held the Broken Dragon Slash, shouted loudly, and slashed down at the back shell of the giant corpse beetle.

Hearing only the sound of the "bell", Wen Qingshan was shocked and took two steps back, but the corpse beetle seemed to be unharmed and continued to chase after me.

I didn't dare to fight with it, so I had to dodge left and right.

Soon everyone else also returned to the tomb, and seeing that I was being chased by a giant corpse beetle, Chen Biao immediately picked up an automatic rifle and was about to shoot, but Ouyang Yi hurriedly stopped: "Don't shoot!" The monster's shell was extremely hard, and not only could a bullet not penetrate its back shell, but it could also injure the Shi Yu brothers. ”

Seeing that I was about to be chased by a giant corpse beetle, I happened to step on the corpse of a corpse beetle under my feet, and immediately slipped and fell to the ground, and the giant corpse beetle pounced on me at once.

Its legs wrapped around my body, wielding its huge palate towards my head.

The inside of the giant palate was covered with sharp serrations, which looked even more shocking at close range, and I tried to dodge it, but my body was held in place by its powerful legs, and I couldn't move at all.

I thought I was going to die this time, but the giant clawworm's giant palate, like iron pincers, was caught in the helmet.

The helmet is made of a special bulletproof material, and although it is light, it can block powerful bullets from shooting at close range, and although the attack power of the giant corpse beetle is very powerful, it will not crush the helmet.

It clamped my helmet with a giant palate, and swore that it would not give up until it was broken.

This gave me a chance to breathe, and I took the opportunity to free a hand, clenched the dragon's teeth, and stabbed it into the black eye of the giant corpse beetle.
