Chapter 502: The Best Choice
A thought flashed through Jiang Xian's mind, and his eyes stared at the group of cracked snipers that were already in chaos.
How could these ferocious little insects ever see such a strong light?
The intense stimulation and the fear and confusion engraved in the instinct made them bite indiscriminately, and the sound between them was louder and stronger than before, and the blood and smell of their corpses became stronger and stronger.
With Abel's example, Carl and Julie also took out a substitute for a gas mask from their backpack to guard against the influx of smells.
It turned out that the more corpses and the blue liquid volatilized in the continuous collision, and a faint mist gradually spread.
Not good!
Jiang Xian's eyes froze, and Karl's eyes collided, and the two instantly learned each other's thoughts, and nodded in unison.
"Let's go! Move closer to me and keep up with Carl! β
With this shout, everyone's formation suddenly changed, the flashlight in their hands was still dancing, and their footsteps moved quickly, quickly following Jiang Xian.
Soon, Carl was in front, Jiang Xian was in the center, Abel and Julie were behind, and Ling Xiaozi and the others were formed in a standing mode around them.
With the explosion of power under Karl's feet, everyone present rushed forward, although not the fastest speed, but also much faster than the normal long-distance running. But in an instant, I came to the place where the worm was, in front of the angry mist.
The dazzling light pierced through the fog and darkness, making the cracked snipers, who had been slightly calmed down, suddenly restless again.
Wherever the beam passed, the insects dodged to both sides, retreating like a tidal wave.
But Carl could see very well that when the condensed beam shone on them, they were a little late because of the thin mist, and they didn't move again until a moment later. Although the interval in between was very small, he was still aware of it.
"The fog produced by these corpses can delay the stimulation of light on them?"
This thought flashed through him, and Carlton understood why Jiang Xian had just let them move forward in a hurry.
If too many bugs die, these guys will turn back into fearsome hunters!
Thinking of this, his footsteps couldn't help but be a little faster, and his eyes stared at the positions of the various areas illuminated by the pillar of light in front of him, telling if there would be cracks on the ground, so as to bypass it.
Yes, that's his task, that's why he takes the lead. Rush through the swarm and avoid any bugs that may remain on the ground.
Although the beam of the flashlight will repel these bugs, there will eventually be bugs that are not dodged in time, or are mutilated, and if they are touched, it will inevitably give them a blow. No one wants to taste the power and toxicity of that "inverted horse pile".
After a few steps, Karl's eyes narrowed, and the swift sword at his waist was drawn, deftly stabbing into the ground and fiddling to the sides.
The broken insect corpse instantly loved you and was picked up and smashed into the surrounding insect swarm, he frowned slightly, as if he felt a little dissatisfied, and the swift sword returned to his waist.
Reach out and take out two short sticks from the backpack behind your back.
With a crisp snap, the two short sticks were connected together, and Carl, who was holding a flashlight, pressed on both sides of the short stick, and with a flick of his hand, he saw that each side extended out a piece, and it became a long stick with a length of two meters.
Carl holds a stick in one hand and a flashlight in the other.
The efficiency of the long stick was obviously higher than that of the swift sword, and I saw pieces of corpses constantly flying and smashing to the sides, making the already chaotic insect tide even more messy, making a rapid sound.
The two Abel and Julie at the back shone their flashlights behind them, and although they were trotting, they still looked back at the scene behind them from time to time.
The bugs that were driven away by the beam did not give up so easily after the chaos, and tried to chase after a few people.
But the condensed beam of light shone in all directions, giving the bugs no chance to get closer again.
Step by step, the speed of Jiang Xian and his party became faster and faster, both Carl and Abel became more and more skilled, and it didn't take long to successfully pass through this area, throwing the swarm of insects that were gradually rising into the back.
Passing through the roads and forks in the road, under the illumination of the strong light, those unwilling cracked snipers finally retreated, leaving corpses all over the ground.
Jiang Xian and Carl looked around, and after making sure that they were safe, they glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there was no fierce confrontation on this part of the road, there was no hasty escape, and it seemed to be very easy, but they did not dare to be careless.
"Fortunately, it's modern,......" Professor Zhao sighed faintly: "If it weren't for modernity, if it wasn't for the power of the flashlight and the beam was strong enough, these insects would be more dangerous for us than the previous road, right?" β
Everyone was slightly silent, and Ling Xiaozi nodded: "That's right, with the number of these insects, if there are no things that make them afraid, and natural enemies, I really don't know how to get over." β
"There are many ants that bite and kill elephants, not to mention these more ferocious insects."
"It's still a highly poisonous bug."
Abel's face changed slightly, he shook his head, and smelled the smell, even if it was still a little uncomfortable.
"So, in ancient times, this arrangement was the equivalent of a Jedi." Professor Zhao stroked his beard: "Unless you have something that can be recognized by these insects and will not attack, you can rely on the ancient torch fire fold...... I'm afraid it won't affect these bugs. β
"Even if we don't have enough flashlights, and we are all strong flashlights, we will definitely have to waste a lot of effort."
"However, after rushing through here, the front is much clearer."
Jiang Xian turned around and looked at everyone, and then his gaze fell on a way forward: "That is the node of the north." β
"Ready, let's take a look."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Tick......
Tick......
The sound of water dripping echoed, the old man's eyes narrowed, his gray hair floated gently in the wind, and beside him, the one-armed third uncle's eyes flashed with excitement.
From the two of them, spreading around, the corpses of small geckos fell to the ground, their blood flowing all over the ground, infecting the surroundings and emitting a unique, intoxicating aroma.
The old man looked around vigilantly, held the hand of the blade in his hand, trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, and immediately beckoned: "Go!" β
"This place is not to stay long."
As soon as the words fell, he left first, and disappeared into the road ahead in less than two steps.
The third uncle of the knife followed closely behind, and the two of them crossed one road after another, and the footsteps of the old man of the knife slowed down after a while.
"Old man, did you find something?" Third Uncle Dao hurriedly asked.
The old man shook his head and said, "No, it's because there is no ...... for me to leave quickly."
Well? Third Uncle Dao looked puzzled, full of puzzlement.
"Because it shouldn't be so easy, we've walked through so many places here, and we've experienced several crises. Although they all survived, when was it so easy? The old man glanced at him: "No...... It can't be said to be easy. β
"At least, before the ascension, you and I had to spend a lot of effort and strength to deal with those geckos, and even get some injuries."
"But, it's still too weak."
"Do you think that our current strength can resist the previous crises?"
When Third Uncle Dao heard this, he just wanted to speak, his lips moved slightly, and then he shook his head.
Although his strength has improved, the monsters he encountered before, whether it is the painted skin, the calluses in his ears or the rest of the monsters, are not at all able to cope with and face with this strength.
If there is really a head-on conflict, he will only die without the ability to resist.
Yes, no resistance.
"I see...... You're right, old man, those geckos are too weak to match the monsters we saw along the way. β
"So, it's problematic."
"Hmm...... Remember the beast tide before it? A gleam flashed in the eyes of the old man of the knife: "The sudden attack of the beast tide is full of traces of man-made. β
"You mean ...... old"
"I only encountered those geckos just now, it should be related to the beast tide." Shaking the cigarette pouch pot, the old man's eyes narrowed: "If there is no beast tide, we should encounter more than these geckos, and in this regard, he should be regarded as helping us." β
"However, whether this is intentional or unintentional, I don't know."
"I'm interested in this yellow finch right now."
Speaking of this, the old man's face was full of smiles: "Really, it's getting more and more interesting." β
As soon as he flipped his palm, the compass appeared, and his fingers tapped the various positions of the compass smartly, so that the pointer on it frantically understood and constantly adjusted.
After a while, there was a click, the pointer was fixed, and the old man looked at the compass, straightened his clothes, and his eyes showed a look of thought.
"Let's go, I seem to understand what the yellow finch means...... But he seemed a little naΓ―ve and underestimated us. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Hoo ......"
Zhuang Yuling took a breath and looked around, under the faint light of the fire, the appearance of this rock was faintly revealed, rough stone walls, rough stone slabs, but there were few traces of destruction around, and there were no bones and bloodstains.
There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and since she entered the Divine Habitat, the killing, bones, and blood were almost all over the land.
Especially after advancing before, the formation that trapped the dragon was seen, and the layers of sacrifices were full of blood.
She thought that the deeper she went, the more so, the sacrifices of ancient times often used blood to show the charm and piety of the seniors.
But here, it's very clean, surprisingly clean.
"Take a break...... If I'm not mistaken, this should be the last safe spot before the convergence. Zhuang Yushan spoke, and sat on the ground first: "Next, you need to find a way to explore the direction." β
"Second brother, do we have to meet?"
"Of course, don't be fooled by the safety of this moment, remember what happened before? Without Mr. Jiang and them, we wouldn't have been able to get here. β
"The road ahead will only be more dangerous."
His eyes fluttered, and his gaze fell on the wall: "Meeting with them and cooperating is the best choice." β
