Chapter 58: The Best Place to Eat

"Come on, it's okay. The narrow tunnel was like a loudspeaker, and Pannis's voice came from the end of the tunnel: "I guess Vivien's fire is too strong, and they have never seen a catastrophe of this magnitude, so the locusts have all fled, and there is not a single one left." However, be mentally prepared when you come, the scene here is not very acceptable. ”

"Mr. Ike, you go ahead. Catherine thought for a moment and instructed, "You three are still in the middle, I'll go last, since Pannis said it's okay over there, crawl a little faster on the road, don't let him wait too long on the other side alone." ”

The girls re-entered the low tunnel, which became narrower and narrower as they went, and the surrounding rock walls became hazy by a headlamp, and they could not see anything clearly. A few people groped their way forward in the darkness, only to feel the surrounding rock walls constantly squeezing inward, almost overwhelming themselves. Of course, the girls all know that this is just an illusion that inevitably arises in the dark, but knowing that it is an illusion can also bring considerable pressure to people.

At the end of the tunnel, in a dark place, a bright light suddenly lit up, as if the people trapped at the bottom of the dark well suddenly saw the light that brought hope above their heads, and the breathing of several girls couldn't help but become rapid, and the speed also increased a little. Catherine crawled at the end of the line, feeling a warm and humid wind blowing from behind, as if someone was really sticking to the back of her neck and breathing rapidly, even with her firm heart, she couldn't help but want to look back at the situation behind her several times, but she also knew that it was futile and dangerous to look back at this time, first, because there could be no one behind it, it was just an illusion, and secondly, because even if there were other creatures behind it, at this time, turning back would often expose her most vulnerable throat to the other party, or anger the other party because of the light of the returnOnce a battle breaks out, it will be controlled everywhere in this narrow environment, it is better to find a position where you can stretch your body as soon as possible and then deal with the enemy, as for what if the enemy can't help but sneak attack on this road? Catherine decisively unfolded her shield in the doubts in the hearts of others.

Luckily, after a few minutes of crawling, there were no incidents, and several people quickly broke away from the narrow tunnel, which was located in the middle of a rock wall, and exited the tunnel, which was a relatively wide underground cavern. Everyone left the tunnel in a hurry, as if something was chasing after them, and it wasn't until Catherine landed on the ground from the tunnel that everyone realized that they didn't know when, the iris shield had been carried behind her back, and her face was a little nervous.

"It's been a hard journey. Catherine, who came out of the tunnel, calmed her breath on the spot, looked at the tunnel that was dark again with complicated eyes, and suddenly walked up to Pannis and patted him comfortingly: "Thank you." ”

"Huh?" Pannis's voice sounded muffled, "What's wrong? Why thank me all of a sudden?

"It's nothing, it's just a personal experience to understand some of the psychological pressure, so I can't help but want to thank you. Catherine showed a bright smile, like flowers blooming in the dark underground world, but the smile suddenly condensed on her face, and said in a dry voice: "What are you eating?"

"Ah, you're not really going to eat it. Lina exclaimed, and the other two girls also showed terrifying expressions on their faces: "Those locusts, do you really can't help but try?"

"Why, no matter how good it smells, I don't have the confidence to eat it, and who knows if they are different from those distant relatives outside, and no one has tested me for toxins and harmful substances, how can I really eat them." Pannis shook a small bag of biscuits in his hand: "But I'm really a little hungry, and it's good to replenish the food." ”

The maidens laughed dryly, looked around the spacious cavern, and looked at him with strange eyes. The girls' reaction was also justified, because everything around them was really not suitable for eating. This cave is relatively small, about three or four hundred square meters in area, the cave is a typical hemispherical shape with narrow upper and lower width, and the rock walls are covered with angular stones that protrude inward, making the whole cave look uneven. On the rock walls of the cave, there used to be a lot of plants such as moss and lichens, but because there is no sunlight all year round, these special plants have all turned gray-white or pure black, not as green as the outside world.

Just a wall of fire, because there are no flammable materials around, the fire did not spread too far, but from the traces on the rock wall of the cave, it can be seen that the flames have been fully raging in the entire cave, about three or four minutes of scorching and scorching, because Pannis has lit a special lantern with high consumption in advance, so that everyone can clearly see that the rock wall is full of traces of blackened by tongues of fire, even after such a long time, it is still hot to touch with your hands. Where the moss and lichen that were supposed to grow were placed, only sparse ashes remained. Aside from the alarming fire, there is nothing strange about this, but what really makes it difficult for everyone to accept is the tragic situation on the ground.

The lantern was very bright, illuminating the thirty-four square meters of space around the girls very clearly, and on the ground formed by the rocks, there was a thick layer of charred insect corpses, and a large number of detached heads and hind legs were scattered aside, making the scene look even more miserable. The carcass of the locust was charred black, emitting a strange smell of roasted meat, and the surface of the carcass looked crispy and fluffy, but due to the short time of the roast, the inside was still full of juice. Because the ground has been covered with scorched insect corpses, when the six people jumped down, it was inevitable to crush a large number of corpses, so the charred corpses were stained with yellow-brown body fluids, and there were also black intestines sprayed out from the ruptured insect belly, because the insects were very large, the internal organs and body fluids on the ground were particularly conspicuous, and there was a faint fishy smell, the fishy smell was mixed with the aroma of the barbecue, and it was no wonder that the aroma of the barbecue became strange.

In the past few years of adventure, the girls have seen all kinds of corpses, processed countless demonic beast internal organs, and even fallen asleep on the corpse pile, which is very accustomed to these, but such a large number of corpses, mixed together in such a special posture is indeed unseen, the scene in front of them makes the experienced girls unbearable, there is always a feeling of nausea and nausea wrapped around the chest and abdomen.

"It's not their nest, it looks like they're just resting here. Among the six people, only Pannis could still maintain a normal face, and he stuffed another biscuit into his mouth, and said inarticulately: "Do you want to have some, it's been a few hours since you got up, and I guess everyone should be hungry." ”

"Thank you, we're not hungry, not hungry at all. Catherine's face turned pale, and she shook her head vigorously and said, "It's better for you to enjoy it yourself, hehe, hehe, let's just take a look." ”

Pannis shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked around the cave to observe, the sound of giant locusts being trampled on the ground was constantly sounding, and occasionally encountering a bug that was not completely dead, waving its six legs and dying for a few seconds. The continuous sound of the strange sound like stepping in the mud made the girls finally unable to support it, Freya groaned and said: "Please, Pannis, don't walk around, you can say anything you see, and then let's get out of here quickly, whether we admit defeat or not, I really can't stand it." ”

"Oh, there's nothing special to discover, I'm just trying to see if I can figure out why the flames are getting out of control. Pannis's expression was calm, and he looked very normal and said, "Why, don't you like it here?" I think it's good, the environment is quite spacious, just out of such a narrow gap, it should be a very pleasant thing to adjust your mood here, why don't you like it?"

Pannis bent down, flicked a locust with a broken abdomen with a one-handed sword, and used the tip of the sword to pick up the black intestines of the locust in a clump and look closely, and the charred corpse was dragged under the intestines and swung around: "Looking at their internal organs, they seem to be no different from their distant relatives on the ground, but the proportions have been magnified many times, what is it that makes them grow so big? Or what is the reason why their distant relatives have shrunk." Well, it's better to shrink it, think about it, if there are such big bugs everywhere outside, tsk, I guess most people will cry. ”

"I found out. Pannis's actions finally made the girls lose their last endurance, Catherine clenched her teeth and said hatefully: "This guy has been deliberate since just now. ”

"I found out, Catherine, too. Lina suddenly took out a pair of glasses from her pocket and put them on her face, but her originally pale face regained its blood color, and said in a calm voice: "Obviously, he did it on purpose." ”

"Hey, why did you suddenly change people? Lina will definitely call the eldest sister, only the others will call Catherine. Vivien was taken aback by Lina's sudden switch: "Lina is alright?"

"She couldn't stand it and ran away. Lina said calmly: "I'm not disgusted with these, in order to study countless demonic beasts before, it's no problem to eat in this environment, but she can't, so let me avenge her." ”

"I also feel that I should take revenge. Freya had already taken out the crystal gun and was replacing her beloved weapon with the most energetic hedron with a fierce expression on her face: "Since he likes it so much, how about letting him stay here with these corpses forever?"

"Hey, calm down. Pannis's face turned pale, he retreated again and again, shook his hand and said, "I, I'm just joking, liven up the atmosphere, hahahahaha, I'm really joking." ”

"It's a shame it's late. Catherine slowly drew her one-handed sword and smiled fiercely, and the four girls slowly surrounded Pannis in the middle from four directions, step by step, with indescribably gloomy faces. (To be continued.) )
