Chapter 464: Oil Depot (Sent Wrong, Revised)
A feeling of pain rose in his back, and Jiang Xian stood up quickly.
There was another gust of wind in front of him, and the black long straight he had just lifted was hit hard again, and the whole person took a few steps backwards and hit the wall behind him directly!
The violent impact brought a sharp pain, and for a moment he felt as if all parts of his body were falling apart.
"The surname Jiang, good move!"
Ling Xiaozi's voice came into his ears, and Jiang Xian immediately cheered up, endured the pain in his body, and held the black long straight. In the next moment, two figures burrowed into his umbrella, and a huge roar erupted, and a strong impact followed, three points stronger than the previous blow!
The rumbling sound continued, and the messy stones shot everywhere.
Above the sky, a large area of blood rain was scattered, and the area where the three of them stayed was all covered by the giant umbrella, not covered by the blood in the sky.
Half an hour later, the rain fell and disappeared.
Jiang Xian, who was almost embedded in the wall, stood up slowly, holding an umbrella with one hand and covering his head with the other.
The sound of the explosion made him still buzz in his ears now, if it weren't for the repeated metamorphosis of his body, I am afraid that he would not even be able to stand up now.
Lin Ruoxue and Ling Xiaozi next to them were also not very comfortable, although most of the impact was blocked by Hei Changzhi, but they finally suffered a little, and they were still a little dizzy at this time, and they couldn't even stand up straight.
Slowly putting down the black long straight, Jiang Xian looked ahead.
I saw that at the location of the passage, a field of blood soaked the earth, and above this blood, a corpse five or six meters high, and it was impossible to see what kind of creature gathered in it.
It's eighty percent destroyed, but there's still some good parts of itβ
The head of a gecko, the horns of a cow, the legs of a wolf...... All the features of the organisms they had seen before came together.
There is no structure, no rhythm, no proportions, as if it were a giant doll that has been spliced together at random.
"This is ......" Jiang Xian's eyes flickered, looking at the tissues that seemed to be moving at the edge, the blood-colored filaments that seemed to be muscle fibers, and his heart moved: "Those monsters are actually combined together!" β
"Yes......" Ling Xiaozi shook his head, reached out and knocked on his temple, and said with palpitations: "When I threw out that grenade before, I saw the front...... Tut-tut, that combination, it's like a mythical evil god! β
"I didn't know at the time, whether this thunder was useful or not, but fortunately, it seemed to have some effect."
Lin Ruoxue next to her froze her mind, looked at the blood on the ground, and then looked at the strange and slightly squirming body in front of her: "You don't think it...... Is this stuff familiar? β
Familiar?
"Where's this weird-looking guy familiar, right? The surname is Jiang. Ling Xiaozi rubbed his head and looked ahead.
"No...... Somewhat familiar indeed. Jiang Xian took a deep breath: "It's not other familiarity, it's its wriggling body now, it's its constantly bleeding tissue part, it's indeed somewhat familiar." β
Well?!
Ling Xiaozi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly fixed his eyes, although his brain was still drowsy, and his thinking speed had not recovered, he immediately saw some doorways.
"This thing...... It's like the life in the Misty Valley, imprinted with the bloody palm print! β
"It seems to be...... An upgraded version of those guys! β
"That's right, you've guessed it before, they might be some kind of mutated fungus." Jiang Xian nodded in response: "On the mural I saw later, there is a symbiosis of fungi and some insects. But looking at these things, it's clear that they've evolved again. β
"Parasitize into the body of animals, devour their shells, and parasitize and manipulate with mutated bodies."
"And, to be able to combine, to be able to blend into one."
"Of course, looking at the current situation, they have their own limitations. One is speed, and the other is flexibility. β
"I see......"
Ling Xiaozi nodded, with thought in his eyes: "In this case, it is understandable that I didn't hear the sound before, and I understand why that tongue won't turn." The parasitic gecko sticks out its tongue too slowly, relying on the strength of the parasite itself, and is not flexible enough. β
"It can also explain why these are the food and the hunter's life, and they will rest together comfortably."
"They're meant to be from the same family!"
"But...... In most cases, encountering this thing is a dead end! β
Jiang Xian Lin Ruoxue nodded, if it weren't for the thunder array arranged in front of him that consumed this beast herd first, and was thrown by Ling Xiaozi at the end, the three of them were only afraid that they would be more than lucky.
"However, it doesn't seem like this thing is dead...... Ling Xiaozi glanced at Jiang Xian: "I'll leave it to you." β
Jiang Xian nodded, took out a jar from his backpack, threw it out of thin air, and shot in an instant.
Staggering continuously, the cap on the top of the jar was lifted, and the grease inside fell evenly, pouring on top of the broken monster.
Suddenly, as if stimulated by something, the monster shrank instantly, as if it was afraid and afraid.
Then, a spark fell from the sky and landed above the grease. In an instant, a flame rushed up, rapidly expanding, and in the blink of an eye, it had spread to the entire monster's broken body.
Under the scorching flames, the body contracted violently, and streams of bright red water splattered out, spilling onto the ground around it.
But this little bit of water did not affect the flames, it was still burning, and it was burning more and more, and it was going to completely burn the monster to ashes.
After a few glances, Jiang Xian, who had almost recovered, moved his body and said to the two, "Let's go...... It's been a long time here. β
The three of them turned around and headed for the established path.
The road here is not as smooth as before, but there are many more cracks and chips.
No, it's not just the ground.
The walls, the roof of the cave, everywhere they could see, showed signs of destruction. Hole after hole, scratch after scratch, it is clear that the road here is full of more battles and more vitality than the one ahead.
Click!
The bluestone under their feet shattered, and the expressions of several people were shaking, but their mood calmed down.
"This can't be the usual place for those monsters to fight, right?" Ling Xiaozi looked left and right, and said in amazement: "Look at the big pit here, is it smashed by apes and cranes?" There is also this piece, which is obviously a trace of sharp claws, here, here, it can't be that the gecko suddenly sticks out its tongue, right? β
"Just like we saw before......"
At first, Ling Xiaozi was quite interested, but as he spoke, his tone lowered, and his expression changed slightly.
From time to time, his eyes look around.
"The surname Jiang, you found that there is no ...... The walls around here are crumbling, there are traces of blood...... But it seems, there is not a single white bone! β
"Their bones, have they been eaten by something, or are they ...... What else has happened? β
Jiang Xian's gaze swept around, these two answers, no matter which one of them is not a good answer, it shows that they still have an unknown situation here.
They didn't think in the direction that these bones were devoured by those monsters, and from the short contact just now, several people found that although those monsters were parasitic and devoured, their own activities did not see all life devoured.
After all, there will be some bones, some traces.
But......
"Remember how we were discovered?" Jiang Xian suddenly spoke: "The sound of that impact is too loud, directly wake up all these monsters, and then chase after us." β
"But what if we don't?"
"Where will the monsters that have been awakened by the battering hammer go?"
Ling Xiaozi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his eyes couldn't help but look around, and then looked at the far end ahead: "What do you mean...... The things that caused these traces are the same ones as those monsters just now? β
"They're fighting here?"
He scratched his head as he spoke: "No, no matter what happened before, there shouldn't be a fight between them, and in their original form, they should devour each other, and there should be no traces of this." β
"Unless ......"
"There are some other monsters coming here, and the two sides are fighting each other!"
"And then the existence of the third batch, devouring their scattered flesh and bones!"
Speaking of this, Ling Xiaozi's face changed suddenly: "It's not good...... Let's ......"
"It's fine." Jiang Xian shook his head, his eyes looked around, and his ears twitched slightly: "Your guess is similar to what I thought before. However, if this is really the case, we should have been surrounded during this time here. β
"But now, it's still unharmed, and I don't hear anything special."
Lin Ruoxue nodded beside her: "I didn't hear it either." β
"And if you look closely at the wall, the marks on it look like it's rescue...... Maybe it was as you guessed a long time ago. β
"But over the years, something has changed, and while there are still bells, it's not the same thing here."
Jiang Xian said as he walked forward, looked carefully for a moment and said, "Let's go, no matter what happened in the past, now this place is not so dangerous, let's step forward as soon as possible and find the traces of our predecessors as soon as possible." β
Lin Ruoxue both nodded, and continued to move forward in a vigilant formation.
The flashlight re-illuminated the road, and the rumbling sound was gone, and the surroundings became quiet again.
When they were hundreds of meters away from here, in the cracks in the walls, in the cracks, faint lights appeared, and small figures crawled out of them.
The small worm, which was no more than the size of a fingernail, crawled one after another, and in the blink of an eye, it had already covered a layer in this passage, turning into a tide. The tide moved slightly, then discerned its direction and rushed towards the burned monster behind it.
There, only a few bits of body tissue remained, still covered by the insect tide, and continued to sweep inward.
In just a moment's effort, all the remaining parts of the monsters in the passage were devoured.
The little insects swayed and burrowed into the crevices, crawling along the path, heading ahead.
