We didn't think much about chasing him, trying to stop him from going any further, but all of a sudden, his speed became so fast that it looked like clockwork, and in a few moments it pulled us down.

Gradually, the fork in front of us began to slope down again, and we followed the owner into a large space unconsciously, and everyone stopped to look around, and it looked like an underground palace.

In an instant, the inside became brightly lit, with ever-bright lamps burning everywhere and brand-new green bricks on the ground.

Tables, chairs, benches, and beds are all available, and they look quite luxurious.

The walls were as full of murals and symbols as outside, and every two meters there was a tall portrait of a man who looked unusually majestic and majestic, with eyes glaring ahead.

The shipowner came to a stop after a long circle, because there was only one entrance and exit in the underground palace, and everything else was closed.

Jin Hu and I hurriedly rushed forward to hold him down, and knowing that his strength was extremely great, we broke away from us in three or two blows, intending to flee from the road.

At this moment, Qin Xuanling rushed up with an arrow step, and with just a hard snort on his head, the shipowner fainted and fell to the ground in a daze.

Jin Hu couldn't help but kick the shipowner hard, and scolded angrily: "Old thing, if you want to look for death, go out and look for it again, what kind of madness is this." ”

Qin Xuanling stopped Jin Hu and said, "Don't hit him, he should be a Gu." ”

Saying that, Qin Xuanling turned the shipowner over, only to see that the shipowner's face was pale, the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth, and his arms were covered with black hair.

Everyone was startled when they saw this, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Qin Xuanling squatted on the ground and opened the shipowner's eyelids again, only to see that his two eyes were blood-red, which was very terrifying.

I hurriedly asked what kind of poison this is, is it powerful?

Qin Xuanling didn't answer, he rolled up the shipowner's sleeve again, and in an instant, countless blood-red little insects scattered in all directions, their limbs were extremely short, they looked like ants, but they were very dense and very crazy, and they disappeared into the cracks in the ground in just a few seconds.

Qin Xuanling then said: "This is a blood ant, there are also a lot of evil arts in the Guigu Gate, and they are all practicing some crooked and evil ways, and the blood ant is one of them, specially used to harm people."

I've read their written records before, selecting termites in early summer, feeding them with the blood of centipedes, poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions, geckos, and toads, until the termites turn red all over their bodies, and then use evil magic to make them eat each other, and finally only some short but aggressive ones become blood ants.

Because they have sucked the blood of the five poisons and eaten their own kind, they will become very bloodthirsty, as long as they attach to the human body, they will drill into the pores, and the venom they secrete can paralyze the human nerves in an instant, and then cause the person who is attracted to be nervous disordered, and die violently in less than half an hour. ”

Everyone inevitably felt a chill in the back of their necks when they heard this, and they were terrified.

Professor Wu asked again, "Is he still saved?" ”

Qin Xuanling took out a silver needle from the corner of his sleeve and replied, "I can only do my best, now the Gu poison is afraid that it has spread to his heart and spleen, if he can't force it, even if Hua Tuo is alive, he can't save him." ”

I regret that I didn't prepare some anti-poison and anti-insect medicine before I came, if I was hit by these elusive Gu worms for one or two, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing that Qin Xuanling had pricked the shipowner's body with many needles, the shipowner's face still did not change in the slightest, and the black hair on his arm continued to grow wildly.

Professor Wu saw that the matter could not be resolved for a while, so he spoke: "Let's hand over the ship boss to Brother Qin for the time being, everyone will take a break, and by the way, take a look at the situation in this underground palace." ”

Remembering that those blood ants had gone underground just now, everyone didn't dare to sit on the ground to rest, especially Uncle Long took out a pair of heavy boots to change into, for fear of being attacked by blood ants.

I walked around the palace, and suddenly I realized that this palace seemed to be seen somewhere, and I had the impression that it was a scene in a painting, with a majestic painting of a palace on it, which was surprisingly similar to this place.

Just as I was trying to remember, Four Eyes leaned over and said, "This palace is strange, and it looks oblique on the level. ”

I leaned over and saw that Four-Eyes had a gravity level in his hand, which automatically measured the inclination by gravity as long as it was placed on flat ground.

According to common sense, the ground is flat after we enter the palace, and we can't detect anything wrong, but if we look carefully at the data on the level, it is actually 45 degrees tilted, and it will shift left and right from time to time.

What's going on? Are we all walking diagonally now? Or is this palace moving?

Professor Wu also felt incredible when he heard this, so he asked Siyan, "Is it possible that there is a problem with the level, or that there is magnetic field interference or something like that?" ”

Four Eyes replied, "I bought this level from Germany, the error is extremely small, and it will not be affected by external forces, I am sure there is no mistake." ”

Uncle Long said in surprise next to him, "No, are we all walking diagonally now?" But I feel normal. As he spoke, he strode up.

Suddenly, I saw that there was a unique floor tile under his feet, which was very different from other floor tiles in terms of color and shape.

Thinking that there might be a lot of tricks here, I hurriedly reminded him to stop wandering around.

As soon as the words came out, he stepped on the floor tile, and then he was stunned for a moment, and said in a panic: "I seem to be ...... Really stepped on the trap. ”

I immediately tensed up and threw Professor Wu and Xiaoqian to the ground, while shouting, "Be careful, everyone! ”

Before the others could react, the walls on both sides of the palace suddenly shook, and then two silver spears shot at Uncle Long, one left and one right.

Uncle Long was stunned in place, almost forgetting to dodge, Ah Wei on the side saw the silver spear flying in, stepped forward and pushed Uncle Long down, and between the lightning and flint, the two silver spears directly shot Ah Wei through.

I saw Ah Wei's body tremble a few times with the silver spear, and then lay on his back on the ground, and in an instant the spleen in his stomach mixed with the intestines flowed all over the ground, and the blood in his abdominal cavity couldn't stop spurting out, and the whole person was completely dead.

Uncle Long got up from the ground and hugged Ah Wei regardless of the danger, babbling in his mouth, looking heartbroken.

After waiting for a few minutes to see that there was no silver gun to shoot again, everyone was relieved, and I quickly got up from the ground and rushed to Ah Wei's side.

Uncle Long hugged Ah Wei's corpse and cried bitterly, and even said that it was all his own sin, but it was a pity that Ah Wei was so loyal and gave his life for nothing.

Everyone's hearts are also a little uncomfortable, although Ah Wei doesn't talk much in the past few days, but he is quite realistic, plus he is burly and tall, he is a good helper.

The atmosphere in the palace became very depressing for a while, and the thrilling adventures of the days had already made everyone tired, and the army and Lin Qian had accidents one after another, and now Ah Wei had encountered an accident again, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on everyone.

After a moment of silence, Uncle Long proposed to take Ah Wei's body out no matter what, but Professor Wu refused on the spot, the road ahead is dangerous and unknown, and bringing Ah Wei's corpse is obviously a big burden.

But Uncle Long didn't listen to anything, insisting that Ah Wei gave his life and would take him out for a decent burial no matter what.

I saw that it would be difficult to change Uncle Long's mind for a while, so I pulled Professor Wu over and whispered: "Uncle Long is nothing more than righteousness, there is nothing wrong with this, let's follow his wish first, and after a while, maybe he will change his mind, and then deal with Ah Wei's corpse." ”

Professor Wu had no choice but to nod in agreement, so Jin Hu and I stepped forward to dispose of the corpse briefly, and wrapped the corpse in the large sleeping bag that Ah Wei used before his death.

By the time we had disposed of the body, the owner had just woken up, staring around with a pair of rat eyes.

Qin Xuanling walked over and pulled out the silver needle from his body, and then he asked weakly, "What happened just now?" ”

Jin Hu said angrily: "You old immortal was bitten by insects, and you were in the Gu, and you almost hung up." ”

The shipowner hurriedly got up, and when he saw the dense little red dots on his body and the black hair on his arms that had not yet receded, he was suddenly dizzy again.

The group ignored him and let him lie on the ground.

I smoked a cigarette and looked at the murals on the wall for a while, and found that they seemed to be related to the ones in the passage outside, like comic strips to be exact, and many of the contents were coherent.

For example, the one in front of me is a continuation of the first mural I saw in the passage, which depicts two armies fighting, and the one in front of me looks like the soldiers of both sides negotiating in some misty place after a great battle.

But what interests me the most is the tall portrait, which is very delicate no matter how you look at it, and the depiction of the person's movements and demeanor is quite realistic.

Then I suddenly realized that this portrait should not be painted by Xu Fu's disciple Chen Yanshu, right?

I just wanted to go back and tell Professor Wu, but I inadvertently noticed that the figure seemed to be moving!

When Professor Wu saw me standing dumbfounded, he followed my gaze and was immediately stunned.
