Chapter 877: Swamp Earthquake
Some are as small as ants, but they exude a red luster in patches, and at first glance they are the kind of creatures with vigorous vitality and bursting qi and blood, and they are by no means as gentle as the signals released by the body shape on the surface.
And what made Wu Zhijiang shudder the most was that in addition to the many kinds of creatures on the way forward, in the swamp that was not deep underground, at least a few kilometers away, piles of corpses and bones were piled up there.
Piles of bones of various colors such as white, black, and yellow were piled up like hills, and from time to time there were some corpses that had not completely decomposed.
These skeleton corpses, there are creatures of various sizes, and even the death of swamp creatures themselves, but there are still a large number of human and femme fatale corpses, the skull embodied in the dome seven orifices and the bones of some special parts of the body, or people can tell that they are human skeletons, of course, the joints of the snake clan, the armor of the scorpion clan, etc., can be distinguished at a glance.
And the bones mixed in it are even easier to distinguish, Wu Zhijiang can vaguely see a small human man, his clothes are torn, and his body is full of scars, as if he was stabbed by a knife.
The other party's eyes opened with an extremely terrifying expression, as if he had seen a ghost in the night, and a distorted expression could be seen on his hideous face, which showed how much fear he had endured in the moment before he died.
There are also some corpses of snakes and scorpions buried inside, none of them are intact, they are all scarred all over the body, the flesh and blood are blurred, and even the armor of the scorpion clan has left deep scratches.
Wu Zhijiang didn't know what kind of horror and tribulation these people and snakes and scorpions had gone through, so they would leave their bodies and sink into the swamp in such horror, but all this made him feel the horror of the swamp. This swamp, which seems to be free of wind and waves on the surface, is by no means so calm and waveless on the surface. There is a danger hidden in them that they are difficult to perceive.
And all of this made Wu Zhijiang look extra cautious and cautious, while he was exploring the way. The exercises were also running at full strength without stopping at all, in order to deal with the dangers that might arise at any time, and at this moment, he seemed to have returned to the scene when he was training in the Ruoya space.
Looking at Wu Zhijiang in front of him who did not dare to relax at all and moved forward with all his energy, Wang Pengfei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was still worried that the other party was young and couldn't really calm down, but now seeing that the other party was cautious all the way to the enemy, he could be regarded as relieved, knowing that in this situation. The other party doesn't need to remind him anymore, so he can follow behind with confidence.
The road was quite calm, although the speed of the two was not fast, but when Wu Zhijiang's Tianyan was opened, it was still faster than the snake and scorpion behind, but the snake and scorpion finally crossed the ground stump and stepped on the passage of about several kilometers long before Wu Zhijiang and them, the two of them had already followed the ground stakes one by one into the swamp for three or four kilometers.
However, good things do not always accompany them, just when Wu Zhijiang has just stepped on a newly discovered stake. There was the sound of rushing water, then a rumbling sound, and the ground seemed to be arching like some creature, under the gaze of the two of them. Waves came from afar.
The earthquake, the two of them reacted in an instant, this was definitely a sudden earthquake. Although the shock wave is not large, the earthquake is not strong. But the two of them are in this special environment, and they still seem extremely dangerous.
At least so far. It was the most dangerous danger the two had ever experienced, surpassing the battle between the three femme fatales and the beetles.
The special environment, surrounded by swamps that are about to sink when they fall into the air, and there are special systems where birds are not able to fly, which makes this sudden shock into a fatal fluctuation.
Standing on the ground pile, the two people with only a small space to settle are almost nowhere to hide, and if they are not careful, they may have nowhere to settle and fall to their deaths.
Earthquake, this is an earthquake, Wu Zhijiang was careful, after speaking, Wang Pengfei instantly retreated a few squares, freeing up a distance, leaving Wu Zhijiang with a string of stakes to settle down, and also leaving a space for himself to attack and retreat.
Senior, you are also careful, I don't dare to guarantee that this pile is very secure, before we stood slightly there was not necessarily a problem, but now that the shock wave is coming, they may not be able to withstand the collapse, senior, you are ready to change positions at any time.
Wu Zhijiang reminded without looking back while being on guard, and at the same time, his eyes were wide open, constantly observing everything around him, especially the movements of the stakes and creatures buried deep in the swamp mud under the swamp.
Under the influence of the seismic shock wave, you can see from a distance that some of the previously found parts of the ground piles with certain damage are broken and collapsed one by one, and strings of bubbles are rising in the ground.
Fortunately, this is not all, under his observation, he found that there are still some, about half of the ground stakes remained, and they stood there resolutely, without collapsing.
This situation made Wu Zhijiang worry about the ground pile, he couldn't help but feel relieved, he was worried now that he was afraid that these ground piles would all break under the influence of the shock wave, so now the two of them went deep into the swamp and relied on the ground pile to come in a few kilometers away, but they couldn't go forward, and there was no way back.
Although under his observation, there are still a few ground piles that can be retained, most of the ground piles he chooses to move forward are solid and stable, even if a few are not very safe, he still chooses such a relatively stable passage when there is no other path to pass.
What can be preserved completely after the earthquake fluctuation is some extremely difficult, there was no problem before, looking at the scene of the ground pile not surviving, Wu Zhijiang was also very anxious in his heart, he didn't know whether the feet of himself and Wang Pengfei could withstand the test of this shock, and the two of them remained intact at the end.
As for the fact that after the earthquake wave, the passage paved by the ground pile was completely destroyed, and the next two people will be affected by the image of advancing and retreating, it is not a problem that can be considered now.
And Wu Zhijiang's biggest concern is not the ground pile, but the creatures that live in the quagmire and swamp, the tragic corpses he saw before, and the skeletons that are still lying quietly under his feet, in addition to the reason why the swamp is falling and sinking, may be largely related to them.
The people who can come in are all strong people who are humans or snakes and scorpions, at least they are also first-level existences, such powerful existences, but they cover the swamp with a layer of underground, how many people do you have to do this.
Aside from the attack of this swamp creature, Wu Zhijiang really couldn't think of anything else that could cause such an ending, after all, some of the corpses could prove that some of the people below had just died.
The earthquake not only caused unimaginable images to Wu Zhijiang and their passage, but also alarmed these creatures living underground.
The strong shock wave affected the creatures that had been lying down honestly, and woke up from their slumber or dormancy, once a large number of swamp creatures surfaced on the mud surface, it would be a disaster for Wu Zhijiang and the others.
Even if the underground creatures are accidentally powerful, they can't withstand the massive number, and the so-called ants can gnaw and kill elephants, not to mention two humans who are not very large.
Obviously, the creatures below will never be like ants, even if they are also man-eating ants, ice and snow ants, etc., there must be some powerful creatures among them.
Just look at the three femme fatales to know the Dao, before Wu Zhijiang didn't know what kind of creatures were hidden under the Dao, but he felt that alarming it could hinder the opponent's forward speed for a certain time.
But I didn't expect to force the other party to go through a big battle, and even one of the arms was cut off, which shows how tragic the battle was, and the ferocity of the underground creatures can be imagined.
Who knows if there are such dangerous creatures in the area under the feet of the Dao, or even more powerful creatures, once this kind appears, and the above two aliens are found, how can they not attack.
Wu Zhijiang stared at the movement of the underground swamp without blinking, watching the ground pile collapse after the shock wave, and a large number of underground swamp creatures were disturbed under the fluctuations, surging up frantically, and some even fled directly underground to the distance, away from the invasion of the seismic wave.
And Wu Zhijiang's location, some creatures also chose this side as the direction of escape, and in an instant, Wu Zhijiang and Wang Pengfei could see with the naked eye that a large number of creatures were like grass under the spring breeze after the rain, and the creatures that surfaced on the swamp ground were frightened and surged in all directions like crazy.
