Chapter 839 Silver Beetle

The fork in the road we entered was much smaller than the outside, but the walls were crawling with a kind of small insects, and the glowing white light emitted from the body made the inside look less terrifying, but a bit of the illusion of fluorescent lights.

This was my first reaction when I entered the fork in the road.

Ma Tianyu bore the brunt of the forefront, holding his hands weakly, as if sensing the insects on the walls on both sides.

“...... Silver beetles, which live underground, make a living by sucking ghost energy. There are so many silver beetles here, it can be seen how strong the ghost qi is, tsk, Zhang Yan, there will be no problem with your talisman seal, right? I have never seen so many silver beetles when I went out to practice with my family disciples before. ”

Ma Tianyu put down his hand and said in surprise, he said that this kind of insect is extremely difficult to survive, and the requirements for the environment are quite harsh, and it is almost impossible to see the light.

They have lived underground for generations, reproduce slowly, and the more ghostly they are, the more silver beetles will be numerous.

Hearing him say this, I subconsciously turned my eyes away and looked straight into the depths of the fork in the road, only to see that all the eyes were full of white light, and suddenly the corners of my mouth twitched, how long did these insects live, one by one looked full, quite ready to go.

Zhang Xu and I immediately glanced at each other, and involuntarily moved a little away from the walls on both sides and squeezed towards the middle. Ma Tianyu chuckled at our movements out of the corner of his eye, and then said that the silver beetle will not have any interest in living people, of course, if we die, it will be uncertain.

After a cold war, I quickly broke him, Zhang Xu was even more polite, and kicked him directly on the ass, Ma Tianyu almost fell and ate shit.

With such nonsense coming and going, the tense atmosphere was much more relaxed.

I walked a few steps quickly to get closer to Ma Tianyu's living encyclopedia, licked my face and asked, "Hey, I said Tianyu, what else does this insect need to pay attention to besides liking to eat souls?"

Could it be that the basic role is really a fluorescent lamp?

"Ha, who told you that you are devouring the soul and sucking the ghost qi, as long as the ghost qi is strong enough, they will continue to grow. Well, I remember the book said that the size of a juvenile silver beetle is about 3 to 10 centimeters, and an adult is more than 20 centimeters. ”

Ma Tianyu looked around thoughtfully, and his voice gradually lowered, and I swallowed my spittle, which can be regarded as finding the point.

"Then should the silver beetles around you be juvenile or adult?" I was confident, my eyesight was definitely the standard of a modern pilot, but at a glance, most of the silver beetles on the wall that were about fifty centimeters away from me were only the size of a fingernail.

Basically, they are larvae.

I wouldn't believe that a group only uses larvae and no adults, but it seems that there are more larvae of silver beetles?

“...... Perhaps, is it because of their race comparison?" Ma Tianyu said with a stiff face and some discomfort, paused in his footsteps, and let go behind me.

Two walls of larvae, this fork in the road is likely to be the nest of silver beetles.

"Perhaps, it's not that the fork in the road is safe, but that the silver beetle has little interest in a small sigil. Zhang Xu rubbed his chin with one hand and concluded.

I could only smile dryly, and looked back at the crossing, which had long since disappeared, "You say, if it's too late to go out now, right?"

As soon as the words fell, the bridge of my nose hurt violently, and I bumped into Ma Tianyu, who suddenly stopped.

"Hehe, it seems to be too late. ”

He pointed to the front, and Zhang Xu and I looked at it together, and suddenly the pupils contracted violently, and the whole body stopped in place like petrification, unable to move his legs.

It's just that the three of us are no longer looking at the silver beetle larvae hanging all over the wall, but a silver beetle with a full size of more than 50 centimeters, full of entrenched on the wall on the side of the fork.

The fork in the road, which was not very wide, was now squeezed by the exaggerated body of the silver beetle in the middle, and only a gap could barely accommodate a person walking sideways.

After all, with such a small space, it was difficult to guarantee that we would not run into silver beetles, and if there was any mistake or omission, there would be no chance of escape.

"Why don't you use your talisman seals and blow them all up?" was silent for a long time, and Ma Tianyu was the first to speak, but this proposal was really not very good, so I didn't need to say it, Zhang Xu refuted it.

"What are you thinking, we don't know what's in it yet, what should we do if we are alarmed, it is naturally better to solve it quietly. ”

Zhang Xu looked at me after speaking, and asked, "Why don't we exit first and see what the fork on the left is, maybe it's because the silver beetle can't attack the talisman seal, so half of it will fly back, and it's not sure if it won't attack humans." ”

I looked down and thought about it, and this was the question I had been pondering.

After all, we can't be sure what exactly is inside the fork on the left, and since we haven't gone to the deepest part now, we still encounter problems that can be solved, so why don't we go out first, it seems like a good idea?

"No, although the silver beetle grows slowly, it is also relative to some insects, I don't believe you can look at some of the bugs in the back now. ”

Ma Tianyu raised his eyebrows very calmly, but I saw that the cold sweat on his forehead continued, and he thought that he was in a hurry now, but it was just the family rules and regulations for many years.

Zhang Xuhu and I walked a few steps back suspiciously, until we walked almost a hundred meters away, before we understood what Ma Tianyu meant.

On the walls on both sides of the fork, the silver beetle, which was originally only three centimeters, has skyrocketed to ten centimeters in a short period of time, so you can imagine how big the silver beetle will be when we try to return for a while.

"But we can't stay here forever, and when the time passes, the silver beetles around us won't be something we can bear. ”

Zhang Xu's first sentence after walking back was like this, and I followed to make up, "And didn't you say that the favorite of these silver beetles is ghostly energy, and it has nothing to do with humans, so isn't our worry superfluous?"

"I just said that silver beetles like to eat ghosts, but I didn't say that they don't like to eat people. Ma Tianyu seemed to be a little embarrassed to spread his hands, and then popularized the knowledge of silver beetles to us.

It turned out that the existence of this insect was extremely long, almost at the beginning of the opening of the heavens and the earth, but at that time, there were still many humans and creatures who could suppress this insect, so no one noticed such an inconspicuous little thing.

But no matter what, there is a living soul dying in this world, and the soul and breath produced after death are the best tonic for the silver beetle.

This is one of the reasons why these races seem to be small in number, but they increase their strength very quickly and their vitality is becoming more and more tenacious.

According to Ma Tianyu, there are not many documents in the clan about this kind of ancient bug that has been circulated for a long time, so we can't guarantee that these strange things will evolve into more strange things.

"Okay, so what now? It's not going forward, it's not going backward, is it hard to stand still and wait for death?"

Zhang Xu, who has an impatient personality, scratched the hair on his head that was not very smooth, and I looked uncomfortable, but Ma Tianyu still had a sad face.

You can't use large sigils, but what about small ones?

I bypassed Ma Tianyu and came to the side of the two adult silver beetles, rubbing my fingertips for a moment, and before I could make any movements, Ma Tianyu grabbed my arm.

"Didn't you say that you can't be the first to be stimulated!" Ma Tianyu's tone was not very good, and he looked anxious, but he didn't have any good ideas for a while.

I took advantage of the fact that the two of them were in a daze and reached out my hand and carefully touched the surface of the silver beetle, which was smooth and elastic, and if I ignored the constantly wriggling intestines and so on, it didn't seem so disgusting.

If I had to choose one of several ways to die, I'd rather be disgusted.

So when the two of them looked at me in surprise, I stepped in with a sharp kick with my hands and feet, and the moment my body came into contact with the side, I was not good.

How to describe it, slimy, slippery, and rhythmic together, I think it's the sound of a silver beetle's heart beating.

“...... Zhang Yan, are you okay?" Ma Tianyu's Adam's apple slid up and down, carefully avoiding the silver beetle approaching me.

Even if I don't look in the mirror, I know that my face must be a face now, and I tried several times before I made a sound, "It's okay, you guys come in quickly, everyone is good buddies, you won't keep me alone, right?"

Because I was caught by the silver beetles on both sides, I didn't feel like shaking my head wantonly, but even from my angle, I could still see the constipated looks on the faces of Ma Tianyu and Zhang Xu.

It's worth it!

Ten minutes later.

“...... Zhang Yan, you are a pit. ”

Ma Tianyu, who was dressed in white clothes and always behaved in the style of a child of a family, finally couldn't help but burst out of the unpleasant sentence, and I suddenly felt very funny when I endured the weirdness of rubbing between the silver beetles.

"Hehe, at least not being attacked, is it. ”

I grinned and twisted my body to squeeze between the two huge silver beetles, and I struggled to get to this point, and the silver beetles hanging on the walls around me were getting bigger and bigger.

"Hehe......" Zhang Xu walked at the end, and even began to struggle to pull the corners of his mouth.

All the way around, to be honest, I don't know what direction I'm going, and I don't dare to take out the fire charm in my hand, I really feel like I've dug a deep pit and buried myself.

I don't know how long it took, I was sweating, and when I was almost used to all kinds of disgusting touches on both sides, all the oppressive feelings disappeared, and my eyes were suddenly darkened, I reacted a little slower, only to feel that the soles of my feet were empty, and the feeling of weightlessness hit unexpectedly, and before I could remind Ma Tianyu and Zhang Xu behind me, I fell into the cold water with a "poof".

The rushing river poured into my mouth unprepared, and I struggled to hold on to a jutting rock to stop the downward trend.
