Chapter 23: Giant Beetle, Strong Acid
Twilight shuddered all over, tugging at his clothes with one hand and a flashlight in the other, looking quite conscious, except for closing her eyes and talking nonsense.
A cold light flashed between Xiu Jieting's deep plans, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely: "I mean the python is dead!"
"yes, the python has ...... Dead?"
Twilight Yunxi reacted suddenly, her eyes widened suddenly, and then she turned around, only to see clearly that although this python looked scary, it had not moved since just now, and it was really dead!
Whew-
She breathed a sigh of relief, and finally came back to life!
"You can let me go!"
Xiu Jieting's voice was still as cold as usual, and his face was still as cold as usual, as if someone owed him money.
Especially at this time, his voice made people's hearts shrink even more when they heard it in this dark and empty cave, and Twilight Yunxi realized that she was actually holding Xiu Jieting's neck at this moment, and the two of them were close to each other, and it looked a little ambiguous!
No wonder I heard him so loud just now!
As if she had been burned, Twilight Yunxi hurriedly let go of her hand and took two steps back, looking at Xiu Jieting with a defensive expression, as if she had forgotten that she had taken the initiative to put her arms around someone's neck just now!
Xiu Jieting ignored her, because the black shadow that he had kicked away just now rushed over again.
The two of them tightened their faces and subconsciously defended, but just as the two of them were about to make a move with the black shadow, they saw that the black shadow directly crossed them and jumped next to the python.
With a flick of her wrist, the light of the flashlight passed, and everyone saw clearly that the black shadow was actually a child!
The child was naked, with only a big banana leaf covering the bottom, and at this moment, he was standing next to the python, facing everyone with a fierce face.
"Woo Woo Woo!"
The boy made a strange sound from his mouth, which everyone could not understand, but looking at his bared teeth, it seemed to warn everyone not to approach.
Twilight looked at the kid and tentatively said, "Who are you? Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you!"
"Whoa—"
Twilight's response was still the ugly warning voice.
"He doesn't understand you!"
Xiu Jieting's gaze swept around the child, and the cold voice pierced the gloomy air and poured into everyone's ears: "If you are not mistaken, he should have been raised by that dead snake, and he is guarding the python!"
Raised by a python?
I've only heard of wolf children raised by wolves before, and it's the first time I've heard of a child raised by a snake, and it's the first time I've seen it.
The python's body is not rotten, it should have just died, this child probably didn't eat it, and he went to grab it when he smelled the roast chicken just now, right?
Seeing that the child was nervously guarding the body of the python, Twilight Yunxi suddenly felt a little sad, and turned to look at Xiu Jieting: "In that case, let's not touch the python, right?"
You must know that such python snake gall bladder and snake pill are rare and precious medicinal materials, and they are searching for Chinese medicinal materials all the way, and they will naturally not know when they encounter such a rarity.
Xiu Jieting's gloomy gaze fell on Twilight Yunxi's face, and then his words overflowed from his lips: "Let's go!"
When the words landed, he took the lead in turning around, and when he saw Xiu Jieting leaving, everyone hurriedly followed.
But at this moment, suddenly a buzzing sound came, and immediately after, a group of fist-sized giant beetles flew into the cave and flew directly towards everyone.
"Not good!"
There was an exclamation from the crowd, and before they could say more, they were surrounded by a large number of giant beetles.
"Master, be careful!"
Bu Kill turned around and retreated to Xiu Jieting and Du Yunxi, and at this moment, Xuan Huang and Wuxian shouted coldly to the guards outside: "Up!"
The guards didn't have time to think about it, and raised their long swords and slashed at the giant beetle.
However, this time, they seemed to be a little naïve, and as the giant beetle's body was cut open and cracked, a stream of yellow liquid spewed out in an instant.
The pungent smell of strong acid poured into her nose, causing Twilight Yunxi to furrow her brows, and before she could shout the word "careful" in her mouth, she heard a terrible scream from the guards, and she rolled on the ground.
Sure enough, the yellow liquid was a strong acid, which fell on the person's body and clothes, and white smoke instantly emitted, and for a while, the screams came and went.
Xuanhuang and Traceless were relatively better, and they were not injured after dodging the strong acid, but they were inevitably embarrassed.
Twilight looked at the crowd dumbfounded, and before they could react to what to do, suddenly the giant beetles flew towards them.
"Be careful!"
Xiu Jieting's cold voice poured into his ears, and Twilight Yunxi's body sank, and the familiar smell brushed the tip of his nose, and his body pressed down.
Whether the giant beetle touched herself, she didn't know, but at this moment her ears just happened to be on Xiu Jieting's chest, and the solid heartbeat made her feel indescribable.
In a trance, a strong irritating smell poured into her nostrils, making her suddenly retract, only to find that the clothes on Xiu Jieting's arm had been burned with acid.
"Don't move!"
Twilight exclaimed, hurriedly lifting the piece of fabric so as not to burn its skin, and at the same time added a small dagger to the palm of her hand, quickly cutting off the acid-stained piece of cloth.
Xiu Jieting watched her do this, without saying a word or stopping it, until she finished dealing with it, and then withdrew her gaze, and at the same time her long arms wrapped around Twilight's slender waist, and her toes rose into the air.
This sudden movement made Twilight's heart instantly lift again, but this time, before she could get nervous, she felt the contact between the soles of her feet and the ground be solid again.
"You wait here, don't come out!"
There was an inner hole surrounded by stone, and there was something to cover it on all sides, so that it could not be attacked by giant beetles.
Twilight hadn't come back to her senses a little, and nodded blankly, of course, even if she was relieved, she would still nod.
After all, it's so dangerous outside, isn't it good to stay here honestly and safely?
Seeing Xiu Jieting leave, Twilight Yunxi shrank into the inner cave, keeping a pair of eyes to look out through the cracks in the stone, but even so, she still shuddered at the sight.
The giant beetles were aggressive in their own right, with hard horns on their heads, and she had seen a guard pierced through the shoulder by the horns!
The most lethal are those strong acids, as long as they are contaminated with a little, they will quickly melt people's skin, leaving only white bones, this strength is even more powerful than aqua regia!
Dilemma, this is a dead end!
Twilight's hand was on the amber and she wanted to see if there was anything in the medical room that could help, but after a long time, she couldn't find anything that could protect against this strong acid!
Is it going to be explained here today?
Twilight suddenly felt like she was in a medical room, loving whoever she wanted, as long as she was safe.
At the moment when she held the amber, a faint purple flashed in her afterglow, remembering that Xiu Jieting had saved herself so many times in succession just now, it seemed a little unauthentic to do so.
She was thinking about it in a mess, but Twilight didn't notice what was happening next to her, and the child was quietly approaching her little by little.
Twilight's attention was on Xiu Jieting and the giant beetles, and she didn't even notice the child, who had already arrived when she woke up.
"Ahh
But this time, Xiu Jieting was slashing the giant beetle while guarding against letting the acid from the giant beetle's body get on him, and it was not as easy to withdraw as before.
Just as Twilight was shouting, the kid suddenly jumped up in front of her.
Twilight instinctively shielded herself with her arm, but was bitten by the child.
Hiss......
The pain was so intense that Twilight couldn't help but gasp, and her eyes suddenly widened, and she subconsciously shook her hand, only to find that the child's eyes, which had turned red, had suddenly faded after biting her.
Although he still bites himself, he doesn't work as hard as he did just now.
"Twilight, get out of the way!"
Xiu Jieting got out as fast as he could, and couldn't help but say that he was about to slash at the kid with his sword.
"Don't!"
Twilight exclaimed, and just as Xiu Jieting's sword was about to fall on the child, she suddenly pushed the child out.
And the child seemed to have suddenly changed from a hungry wolf to a little sheep, and was suddenly pushed down by Twilight Yunxi's little power!
Moreover, after falling to the ground, the viciousness on his original face turned into a grievance at the moment!
The scene in front of him made Xiu Jieting stunned, and he looked at the kid in surprise and then at Twilight Yunxi: "What's going on?"
Twilight hissed and stood up from the inner hole, first glancing at the wound on her arm, frowning, and then looking around.
"I don't know, but this kid seems to have become docile after drinking my blood, and you see, those giant beetles don't attack people anymore!"
With that, Twilight looked up, a hint of joy on her face.
Xiu Jieting followed her hand and looked over, and sure enough, the giant beetle that kept attacking people just now stopped in the air at this moment, although it still made a buzzing sound, it did not attack people again.
The people who killed without a trace also gathered around at this moment, and when they saw the child, they were about to draw their swords, but when they saw Xiu Jieting waving their hands, they took the sword back into its scabbard.
"Can you not hurt him?"
Twilight frowned, enduring the pain in her arm, and walked over to Xiu Jieting's side.
I don't know what's going on, when the child's eyes changed from red to normal color just now, Twilight Yunxi had a feeling that she couldn't speak, although she knew that the child was dangerous, she couldn't bear it.
Perhaps, in a way, she seems to see her own shadow in this child.
Xiu Jieting looked at Twilight Yunxi and frowned, seeing the child shrinking in the corner at the moment, he paused for a moment, and responded, "Let's go!"
Two words, that is, let go of the child, Twilight Yunxi was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed, but at the moment when she stepped out, she felt that her hand sank, and when she turned her head, the child actually grabbed her hand.
