Chapter 6: A Tide of Millions of Bugs
"What's it? I can't see anything. ”
Listening to this dense voice, Jin Ning instinctively got goosebumps and hid behind Li Xuanji.
Li Xuanji also sensed the danger, and inserted the purple bamboo cane in his hand into the gravel under his feet. Using the fingers of his right hand to use his spiritual power, he quickly drew a strange Dao talisman in the palm of his left hand, and then poured the thick mana into the palm of his left hand, and the strange symbol in the palm instantly shot out a strong white light, like a small sun.
Li Xuanji swept his palm towards the front of the darkness, and instantly took a breath of cool air.
In all directions, there were black wriggling insects, which were rapidly crawling towards the two, forming an encirclement. What a spider the size of a basin, a centipede three feet long, a scorpion as big as a dog, and a cockroach as long as a foot...... There were all kinds of unnamed insects, forming a black army of millions, crawling down the ground like a tide, surrounding the two people.
The creepy sound of Soso's arthropods, the buzzing of his wings, and the squeaky bite of his mouthparts make a creepy sound!
"Ahh......h I don't want to be eaten by these bugs...... Woo...... It's disgusting, it's scary...... Hurry up and find a way, uncle...... Woo......"
Jin Ning saw the endless insect tide around her, and was so frightened that she jumped directly into Li Xuanji's arms, buried her face in Li Xuanji's neck, and didn't dare to look outside anymore, crying with a 'woo' in her mouth.
Li Xuanji only felt that his arms sank, and a soft body climbed on his neck, and two slender ** were very indecently coiled around his waist. However, Li Xuanji's figure is much thinner than Jin Ning, and the long legs coiled around his waist gradually slide downward, and the touch of friction between his bodies makes Li Xuanji feel quite embarrassed.
Looking at the insect tide that was about to pounce, Li Xuanji did not try to attack. In terms of the cultivation of the two people, even if they rush into the insect tide and make a strong move, they will not be able to make much waves, and they will soon be swallowed by the insect tide.
Li Xuanji hugged Jin Ning in his arms, tapped his toes, flew and jumped on the purple bamboo cane standing among the rubble, and stood firmly on the top of the purple bamboo cane more than one person high.
The insect tide soon flooded the last bit of clearing under the purple bamboo cane. The purple bamboo cane, which is more than one person high, is safe for the time being, and no insects can climb up.
However, after the tea, Li Xuanji found out that something was wrong.
The insect tide under the purple bamboo cane did not dissipate a little, but gathered more and more, and the thickness was slowly superimposing, like bulldozing a mountain. In just a moment, it almost submerged one-third of the height of the purple bamboo cane. This speed is still accelerating, and it won't be long before the purple bamboo cane will be drowned, and those two people will be really dangerous.
If we continue like this, we can only sit back and wait for death! It seems that it is not good to get out of the country without paying some price.
"Jin Ning, you give me the study lamp. Wait a minute, I'll jump down to drive away this insect tide, pay attention to yourself, and don't fall down if you stand on it. ”
Li Xuanji took the study lamp in Jin Ning's hand, and before Jin Ning could agree, he threw Jin Ning in his arms and jumped off by himself.
"Oops...... You bastard...... You want to scare me to death......" Jin Ning was shocked, hurriedly stabilized his figure, and a white crane spread its wings and landed on top of the purple bamboo cane, then folded his arms around his shoulders, and closed his eyes deadly, waiting for the terrifying moment to come.
Li Xuanji didn't have time to ignore Jin Ning's curses, before he fell into the insect tide, he grabbed the study lamp with his left hand, and with a wave of his long sleeve in his right hand, a strong wind swept through, and a tongue of fire instantly erupted from the study lamp, burning all the poisonous insects in the circle above the ground into ashes, leaving only a black and gray carapace.
Li Xuanji landed on the ground, without pausing for a minute, inhaling a big breath, and then blowing the air in his chest mixed with strong spiritual power towards the study lamp.
The flames on the lamp that were originally the size of jujubes instantly expanded, turning into a rolling fire dragon as thick as a water tank and rushing towards the tide of insects that surrounded again. The poisonous insects all over the ground were squeaked by the flames, emitting a disgusting smell of oil smoke. As soon as the fire dragon passed, the dense poisonous insects all over the ground had already turned into black ash and covered with stones.
Li Xuanji inhaled again, spit out several fire dragons in succession, and in an instant, the entire cave was illuminated by monstrous fire. The flames were raging, and dozens of fire dragons were like living creatures, rolling tens of thousands of poisonous insects and beetles within a radius of more than ten zhang of the ground, and the sound of 'crackling' was endless.
The study lamp was originally a magic weapon for fire attribute attacks refined by the head of the Dao Dao, and the flames in it were certainly not ordinary fires. After turning into a fire dragon, the temperature is extremely high. No matter how big the poisonous insects and beetles are, all those that are burned by the flames will quickly turn into fly ashes. It was just another cup of tea, and all the insect tides on the ground within a radius of nearly twenty zhang were cleaned up, leaving only black ash all over the ground.
The insect tide seemed to be frightened by the tragic casualties, or was roasted by the high temperature of the fire dragon, and no longer stepped forward to kill, and stopped one after another.
After a short while, the insect tide seemed to feel that it could no longer eat the food in front of them, and had begun to recede, and once again disappeared into the darkness of the cavern, leaving only the black ash of the ground and the foul smell of burnt fire in the air.
Li Xuanji blew again, causing the study lamp to spew out a small stream of flames again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after burning the last few delusional poisonous insects under the purple bamboo cane into ashes.
"Jin Ning, come down. The bugs are gone, so you don't have to wait to die. ”
Li Xuanji threw out a wind with his sleeve, blew the black ash off a stone, and then sat down leisurely and took a breath.
"Don't you have to die? Jin Ning opened her eyes when she heard Li Xuanji's words and looked around, and sure enough, she didn't see a live insect, and her trembling heart finally let go, patted her chest and said: "I thought that this girl would die in the mouth of these poisonous insects, it's disgusting to think about it, I'm afraid the soul will not be at peace." This girl is so beautiful but she hasn't found her sweetheart yet, it's a pity to die like this. ”
“...... Wipe the tears from your face. How old a girl is, she will be scared to cry directly by these insects. Who would like you if you're so timid?"
"Where are the tears? Which eye did you see this girl crying? This is obviously the sweat baked by your flame! You are still embarrassed to say me? You, the uncle of the teacher, threw me out directly regardless of my safety! What are you? The person I like will never be like you!" Jin Ning was annoyed and ashamed, wiping her face with her sleeve indiscriminately while accusing Li Xuanji of his 'crime'.
"Good, good, that's all sweat. But I had no choice but to throw you out! A fat woman like you just pounced on me and almost knocked me to the ground. I almost couldn't jump up holding you, and I couldn't hold on to it after only one cup of tea when I stood on the purple bamboo cane, it was too heavy. If I don't throw you out, we can only fall into the insect tide together and die together. ”
Li Xuanji said with a laugh, and deliberately glanced up and down at Jin Ning's figure a few times.
"You, you...... You actually say that I am fat? You actually say that I am heavy? Which eye of you saw that this girl was fat? Which eye of you saw that this girl was heavy? Don't think that if you are my uncle, I will not dare to do anything to you, if you don't make it clear to me today, this girl will beat you into a eunuch on the charge of 'deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors'!"
Jin Ning was dizzy by Li Xuanji's words, and the style of the female man was completely expressed, and she was ready to draw her sword to fight the uncle in front of her to find out.
"Or don't. I'm running out of strength, you can't bully me defenseless. Let's take a look at the head brother's study lamp. ”
Li Xuanji saw Jin Ning's tiger-like angry momentum, and his liver trembled a little, and he hurriedly changed the topic.
"Oh my God, the snow frog lamp oil in the study lamp is half gone! If I let the master know, I will be locked up for ten years! You scumbag, who made you waste so much? You're going to kill me. Jin Ning held the study lamp and felt distressed.
"If I don't use it like this, the two of us will capsize in the gutter today, and no one will want to get out alive. You said that you have always carried the study lamp with you, why don't you know how to use it when the insect tide comes?
"I ...... I will only use the sword ......," Jin Ning said weakly in his voice.
“......”
This violent woman who doesn't learn or know! Li Xuanji was speechless.
Jin Ning has been in Qingzhumen for ten years, and all the time is spent eating and sleeping, and the rest is to challenge except for sword practice. Swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has become the first kendo genius in Qingzhu Gate, and then he is chasing after the Qingzhu disciples who are full of challenges, whether it is a senior brother or a senior sister, as long as she is targeted, all of them can't escape.
In the past ten years, Jin Ning has already beaten all the disciples of Qingzhumen. Only some of the senior brothers and sisters who started earlier could still be invincible with their profound cultivation, and the other Qingzhumen disciples were all scared by her.
"These insect tides should be a means of defense for the ancient tomb. It should be noted on the tomb map. Jin Ning, didn't you mention this insect tide on the map you took?" Li Xuanji thought as he looked at the thick layer of black ash around him.
“...... I didn't understand ......" Jin Ning took out the map in his arms, and his voice was inaudible.
“......”
Li Xuanji doesn't want to comment anymore. He took the map in Jin Ning's hand and studied it carefully.
"If you go left before the insect tide, there seems to be a cave. Seems to be a place to put the burial goods......"
"Will there be a cave full of gold, silver and jewelry, uncle, let's go and find it, don't be the first to get there!"
Jin Ning's eyes lit up again when he heard the funeral goods, he had already forgotten the fear of the insect tide, and pulled up Li Xuanji, who had not finished speaking, and went straight ahead.
