Chapter Ninety-Three: The Swarm
The monster's huge head, dripping with pus and blood, sharp teeth, swollen and foul-smelling skin, emerged from the narrow cavern at the top of the stone chamber, and it was terrifying.
Everyone was frightened, and the old captain dragged me through the passage.
He was small but strong, and he didn't have much trouble dragging me. But now I have fine skin and tender flesh, and I will break my head and bleed when I knock on the ground.
When he dragged me into the passage, I quickly shouted: "Stop, untie me first, you will drag me to death!"
The old captain glanced into the stone chamber in horror, and could not see anything here, only the shrill cry of the Snow Corpse Insect King and the sound of the mage fighting.
The old captain shook his hand and helped me untie the rope, and I got up and ran. When the old captain saw this, he quickly ran after me, and we ran away from the passage and returned to the original stone chamber.
To my astonishment, however, the hole we came down from was sealed, and the rope was gone.
The old captain's face turned pale: "What's the matter? Who sealed the entrance to the cave?"
We looked up and saw no light at all, and the entrance to the cave was indeed sealed.
At the same time, there was a faint crawling sound in the dark walls, which made people's scalps tingle.
The old captain shook the light crystal vigorously, and the light pierced into the darkness bit by bit. I saw something white wriggling on the wall, there was no doubt that it was a snow corpse worm, at least three meters or more, and even if it wasn't the insect king, it wasn't something we could resist.
The old captain was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees, and I grabbed him and ran back. The two of them entered the passage again and ran quickly back to the sculpture stone room.
The battle was in full swing, with the mage's light illuminating all places, and three brown-robed mages attacking the Snow Corpse Insect King in mid-air.
At this time, half of the Snow Corpse Insect King's body was moved, but it was so huge, at least as thick as a big tree, and half of its body was stuck, shaking the rocks on top of it and falling continuously.
The old captain and I ran to Carl, who was very calm, staring at the insect king with a blank face, not panicking at all.
The insect king opened his bloody mouth wide and roared and spewed out countless pus. The three brown-robed mages used magic to defend and approach the insect king step by step.
The cardinal was holding a bottle of holy water, and he was also very calm, he did not move. The rest of the people were also watching the excitement, and seemed to disdain to do it.
I secretly scolded, these people are really good at pretending, watching the show one by one, the insect king is stuck, otherwise the brown-robed mage may not be able to help it, and there are snow corpse insects crawling over in another stone room, if you don't kill the insect king quickly, you will find your own death.
I went over and shouted, "There are still snow corpses crawling over, and you are still standing and watching the play?"
The gang didn't want to see me, especially Carl, who held the hilt of his sword and snorted, "What are you panicking about?
This man is brainless and has no vision. I don't dare go with them, I'll have to find a way to make sure I'm safe.
The old captain thought the same thing, and he was already looking around for a way out.
I stepped back, against the wall, as far away from the battlefield as I could. The old captain came and banged around, and finally began to knock on the ground.
I asked him what he was doing, and he was pleasantly surprised: "There is a cave down here, probably a drainage system, to prevent the stone chamber from being flooded." ”
He continued to bang as he spoke, looking for the entrance to the so-called drainage system.
I stared at the entrance to the stone chamber and felt a lot of snow corpses crawling through the dark passageway.
At this time, the snow corpse insect king on the top was already scarred, he was stuck on it and could not break free, and the three brown-robed mages teased it like catching turtles in an urn.
Seeing that victory was imminent, the insect king suddenly raised his head and roared, blood and pus spurted out together, and everyone avoided one after another, not panicking.
Then what I expected happened, and there were many roars in the passage, and dense white snow corpses crawled out.
They are not fast, but they are rotten and foul-smelling, and they squirm with their big mouths open, making people's skin tingle and disgusting at the sight.
Carl and the others still didn't panic, and the strong men who followed them started to kill the snow corpses that rushed in, and everything was in order.
The more I looked, the more panicked I became, the snow corpse insects in the passage were still crawling out, as if there was no end, killing one and countless more.
I hurriedly urged the old captain: "Have you found the sewer?"
The old captain reprimanded: "How can it be said that it is a sewer? This structure is very exquisite, it is obvious that the former goblin clan built it for the emperor, and I can't even find the hole, I need time." ”
This bastard is still proud.
I had to continue to look at the entrance of the passage, and the dense snow corpses were frantically pouring in, and the howls continued, and Carl and the others finally began to pay attention and realized that something was wrong.
Look at the insect king on the top, it seems to be dead, and its body hangs down and doesn't move.
The three brown-robed mages ignored it and attacked the snow corpse insects on the ground.
I secretly thought that it was not good, this insect king is playing tricks?
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a click, which was the sound of the rock breaking on the top.
The rest of the people didn't care at all, thinking it was the sound of the insect king struggling. I was horrified because there were tiny cracks in the top of the rock, and from those cracks oozed a cloudy yellow liquid.
It was the pus of the snow corpse insects, seeping down little by little from the cracks in the rocks above. I was so frightened that I hurriedly shouted, "There are a lot of snow corpses on it!"
However, no one paid attention to me, I couldn't care about them, I was so weak now, I would definitely die if I was entangled by the snow corpse.
Quickly pounced forward, picked up a sculpture and retracted it into the corner. When the old captain asked me what I was doing, I put the sculpture on my head and squatted down myself: "Come here, it's going to rain." ”
The old captain looked puzzled: "It's raining?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang above, and the top of the inverted triangular pyramid stone chamber was completely cracked, and countless white and yellow snow corpses and insects fell all over the sky.
The old captain rolled in and rolled in, and we all shrank under the sculpture, supporting it with our hands.
You can feel a lot of snow corpses landing on the sculpture, smashing and smashing.
This only prevents the snow corpses from smashing on their heads, but they can still attack us.
The old captain drew his scimitar and slashed indiscriminately: "Get out of here!"
I also released fire magic, which is very weak, but it is fire, and the snow corpse insects are afraid of fire.
And Carl and they were surrounded by snow corpses, and all the snow corpses crawled towards them, and they didn't seem to notice us.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and the old captain trembled and groped the ground: "There must be a passage down here, how to open it!"
The stone chamber was full of snow corpses, almost crushing Carl and the others to the ground. The Snow Corpse Insect King also broke free completely, crawling on the wall, staring at the dozen or so people who were surrounded.
After a few screams, the revolt seemed to be coming to an end, and they all seemed to be dead.
But the next moment, a golden light erupted in the center of the swarm, and the golden light directly slashed at the Snow Corpse Insect King, actually cutting off its head.
I was secretly amazed, but I saw Karl's holy sword raised high, slashing a crescent moon in mid-air, and a powerful wave of qi cut off all the nearby snow corpse insects.
But Carl was also exhausted, as if he had unleashed a forbidden magic that he could not control, and he could not even lift his sword for the time being.
The insects rushed again, and I saw that the cardinal had finally made a move, and as soon as the holy water was sprinkled in his hand, countless white smoke rose up, and the insects seemed to be melted.
The general of the Beiqian Empire next to him untied the bow on his back, quickly pulled out an arrow, and cut the swarm directly, and a fiery ravine appeared on the ground.
He didn't use an arrow, he drew his bow, but he shot an arrow of nothingness, and the curved bow was obviously a treasure.
Apart from the three of them, the only one who is still alive is the fox young woman, she is very embarrassed, but she is still beautiful, and her eyes are staring at us.
"Go over there, see how clever that elf is. ”
The four of them rushed over quickly, and the old captain scolded in a low voice: "These bastards still want to drag us to death together." ”
Now I can't think about it so much, if I don't want to die together, then run away together.
I yelled at Karl, "There's space in the ground, you split the dirt!"
He listened to me, and with a slam of his sword slammed into the ground, the ground cracked, revealing an artificially dug underground passage.
The old captain said bitterly: "This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient goblin, which was smashed by your sword!"
No one cared about him, the fox man was the most cunning, and he got into the underground passage at once, and the rest of the people also jumped down, and the old captain followed with a curse.
However, I found that the Cardinal was not holding the Eternal Stone, and when I looked back, the Eternal Stone had fallen into the swarm, and in the blink of an eye, it was crushed under the disgusting worm.
