Section 11 Fighting sand maggots

The sun hanging in the sky overhead was scorching and burning, but it was still a little illusory.

The blue sky was clear and clear, but there was not a trace of clouds. The misty raindrops scattered to the ground like falling catkins.

Li Yuntao's eyes moved, and he turned his head to look at the side, and the blanket woven by slender and dense green grass leaves covered the ground as far as the eye could see. Only in the far distances can you see some dry and bare formations.

Sit up with your elbows propped up. At the foot of the front is the beautiful blue lake of jewels, and it is only around the lake that the vegetation grows more densely.

Touching the soft grass blanket with his hand, Li Yuntao, who whispered slightly, gradually recalled the last few scenes he had remembered.

The sand from the pavement, the stinging pain of the face rubbing against the sand, and the suffocating feeling of the back being pressed by the weight.

Then there is sagging, being squeezed, wrapped, and closed by the ubiquitous weight. There was no light, nothing but a rustling of the cochlea. All that remained was the darkness, the cold, and the pain of the pressure.

Then there was suffocation.

Li Yuntao shivered all over, the memories were so bad that he didn't want to remember them again. Thinking of the feeling of being squeezed, enveloped, and suffocated by the darkness, he began to feel nauseous, but now he was a conscious body, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't vomit.

"Huh~Huh~Huh...... I'm obviously not dead, this is the inner world of meditation, and since I'm here, I still speak. ”

After a long time, Li Yuntao, who finally adjusted from the negative state, began to analyze the current situation.

"It's just that I don't know what kind of situation my body is in the outside world, whether it is in trouble or on the verge of death, so that I subconsciously hide in this meditation space to seek life. Lao Song said that Reiki can replace oxygen and provide energy supply to the body, but it can't last. Although I don't know how Reiki works instead of oxygen, at least for a short time, I don't have to worry about suffocation. But there is a limit to this, and you still have to go out and see. ”

After Song Tingyu's careful guidance in the past few days, Li Yuntao was at least able to enter and exit the state of meditation and meditation freely, although it was still far from being able to recover mana in a short period of time without being affected by the environment, but at least it was easy to quit meditation.

"Well, when will this little lake expand into the endless sea?" Before Li Yuntao left, he looked at the beautiful blue lake, and thought of it a little greedily. The sea of qi has only been open for a few days, and without the accumulation of practice, thinking about making the sea of qi cultivate into a real 'sea' is no different from a fool's dream.

Li Yuntao's figure gradually faded, and his consciousness began to return to his body. It was still dark in front of him, and the feeling of suffocation was still there, but the pervasive feeling of squeezing had disappeared, and there was a sharp pain in the ankle of his right foot, and his foot seemed to be broken.

If there is no squeezing sensation, where does this suffocation come from? Let's open our eyes and see.

It was still dark, and there was no difference between the eyes open and those that weren't. It's so dark that you can't see your fingers. However, it is true that the limbs can move freely.

He puffed up the exhaust gas that remained in the lobes of his lungs and spewed out, and the obstructions in his nose and mouth were pushed out by the air current.

This process is slow and suffocating, and it is more uncomfortable than being constipated and not being able to pull it out. Feeling the blockage in the airways moving with difficulty, the anticipation and anxiety were amplified wirelessly.

The exhaust gas in the lobes of the lungs was obviously not enough, Li Yuntao then remembered to run the aura in his body, and the aura system instantly turned on under the manipulation of his mind, and with only a slight shock, the blockage in his mouth poured out, and he tried to move his lips and tongue, and his mouth was full of residual grit, which was attached to the gaps and depressions between the teeth and the base of the tongue.

Even the sand in the nose and ear holes sprayed out. But Li Yuntao, who was a newcomer to this shock, obviously didn't grasp the strength well, and his head was buzzing, and at this time, he couldn't stop feeling dizzy and nauseous.

Greedily inhaled fresh air, but the entrance was a slightly stinky and turbid air with a strong earthy smell. The only thing to be happy about is that at least there is a decent amount of oxygen in the air.

After sitting quietly for a while, and when the dizziness and nausea gradually subsided, Li Yuntao began to explore his surroundings. Listening closely, there was a very subtle sound of air movement and rustling on the left side, if it wasn't for the silence of this environment, even if the meridians in his ears had been connected, he would not be able to hear such a subtle sound of air flow.

The palm of his hand brushed the ground, the ground was slightly damp, and although there was some sand on the ground around him, there was no doubt that there was solid dirt underneath the sand. There was a slight pressure on the left foot, and it was easily pulled out as soon as the foot was pulled, and the rustling sound became louder, and it seemed to be sand.

There was no further movement around.

It should be safe, Li Yuntao made a judgment. Then groped for the waist bag that was worn on the belt with his right hand, lifted the intact buckle, and found the woodpipe oil lamp in the storage compartment, which is also one of the finished products he made in 12 years, I didn't expect it to come in handy today, I wanted to use bamboo pipes to make it, but unfortunately there is no bamboo in this place in Xiaoji Town, and it is too luxurious to make metal pipes with iron, or wood is good. I shook the wooden pipe, there was still half of the oil in it, and I just put it in my bag when I set off, but I didn't check these details carefully.

The wick is in good condition. I felt the magnesium rod used for lightening and lit the lamp, and a little orange-red light the size of a soybean appeared in this small underground space.

"Mom~!" After seeing the surroundings clearly, Li Yuntao subconsciously put the oil lamp in his hand out, and then hurriedly caught it before it hit the ground. If you throw out the metal part that is plugging the woodpipe, the oil inside will drain in the blink of an eye. Where else can I find lighting tools?

Alas~

"Little jujube red, little jujube red, you just went. Although it is a few days later than Zhang Qiming, you two should be companions on Huangquan Road. Li Yuntao looked at the horse's head hanging upside down on the top of the cave in front of him, his eyes full of horror, despair and pain were full of bloodshots, although the pupils had been dilated at this time, the pupils could still reflect the brilliance of the oil lamp, and the little orange highlight looked as if it was still alive.

'Although I'm barely a beginner now, I'm still a little afraid of ghosts. He muttered to himself.

It's an underground tunnel, or tunnel dug by some creature. The tunnel is not wide, it is roughly elliptical on the left and right, no more than two meters high and less than three meters wide. The tunnel environment was slightly cold, with little air circulation, and there was a faint green slime on the surrounding walls, most of which came from the fishy smell I had smelled before. The smell of earth comes from the surrounding tunnel body, with solid dirt floors, dirt walls, and dirt ceilings.

But now the ceiling on the side of Li Yuntao's head is leaking, or it may have been dug up intentionally, and the sand has piled up a cone sand pile in the corridor, and the top of the cone is connected to the hole in the ceiling.

The small red horse's head sticks diagonally out of the bottom of the hole in the ceiling, and hangs upside down, grinning to reveal the big teeth of the horse's mouth and the fierce expression of the bulging horse-eyes, which looks extremely strange.

Occasionally, a tiny wisp of sand leaked from the edge of the horse's head, making a subtle fluttering sound.

"Looks like it's stuck." Li Yuntao looked up and observed, since he knew what the surrounding environment was, the fear in his heart was suppressed, he was still afraid, but now it was useless to be afraid, finding a way to live was the top priority.

"It's time for the bottom of the quicksand bunker. It's so lucky, it's much better than the unlucky guy who died in the quicksand in the TV series. He comforted himself, but there was not much joy on his face for the rest of his life.

The right foot was very painful, and the oil lamp was moved over to illuminate the right foot, and the ankle was tilted to the side in an awkward position, and at this time, the right foot below the calf was already swollen to the point that it was not much worse than the steamed Shandong steamed bun.

Inserting the wooden pipe into the sand, Li Yuntao held his right foot with both hands and wanted to straighten it back, but he didn't want to push it a little bit at an angle, and the terminal nerve on his foot came with a piercing pain. The pain was more intense, more intense, and more unbearable than the pain that had been going on before.

Take a gasp.

I'll fuck your uncle!

He simply turned his heart sideways, took advantage of the pain, and straightened his feet back with a click.

Whew, whew, whew, whew

Li Yuntao lay on the ground and exhaled uncontrollably, he wouldn't die if he didn't die, he helped his foot back this time, but it was so painful that he almost didn't breathe.

After a long time, he finally gradually got used to the pain, and then he sat up to check the situation on the side of his right foot, although it was still swollen like a steamed bun, but now it seems that the foot bone is not broken, which is good news. Don't worry about being lame.

Urging the aura in the body, it is said in the novel that the internal force has the function of healing, and I have verified it with Song Tingyu before, and I got the exact answer: the aura can indeed strengthen the body and strengthen the body's self-healing ability.

It's just that he hasn't learned how to use it yet, no matter how much it is, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and he uses his mind to urge the aura to circulate more into the meridians of his right lower limbs. As more aura entered the meridians of the right lower limb, the slightest wisp of coolness gradually suppressed the pain like a flame burning.

Time has no concept in this dark and secluded cave, Li Yuntao only knows that the injury in his right leg is getting better little by little, and his stomach also protests with hunger during this period, which is not enough for him not to make unnecessary movements until the foot injury is healed.

If, if you encounter danger now, such as the owner of this road, the guy who left the green slime, he dragged this waste leg by himself, let alone fight, and he couldn't even run. He could only swallow the almost non-existent saliva and continue to urge the aura.

The swelling of the right foot subsided at a visible rate, and gradually returned to normal levels, at least the shape of the calf and ankle could be seen, although it was still a little thicker than the left, but Li Yuntao tried to move, the tendons of the right foot were functioning normally, and there was no abnormal feedback from the ankle bone, and the slight pain was also within a tolerable range.

He tried to get up and walked on the ground, limping as well as he had been injured before, but he could move easily.

Time is pressing, the owner of the Yongdao may arrive at any time, and he must have a certain ability to protect himself before it appears. Li Yuntao straightened up and reached for the reins hanging from the horse's head hanging upside down from the ceiling.

However, the height is not enough.

The reins didn't hang down much, and the long part was squeezed into the sand. He made a hole in the dirt wall and inserted the wooden pipe of the oil lamp into it, so as to prevent the red horse from being dragged down later, and the sand that fell together buried it, and then it was dark and there was no way to find it.

Then it's time to perform.

He stepped back a little distance, then started running with a half-lame right leg, and he made a three-step layup that was a perfect score in middle school.

The first step is to push the ground with your left foot and move forward with your body.

In the second step, the right foot lands on the ground and hurts.

Fell directly into the sand, but fortunately the sand was soft, and the fall was not painful. Anyway, no one is watching, so it's not a shame.

"What kind of three-step layup, it should be okay to directly use the aura to urge one-legged jumping." Li Yuntao angrily spit out the sand that had been thrown into the corner of his mouth again, if it weren't for the water bladder hanging on the saddle, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry.

Li Yuntao, who was regrouped, stood up, and his right foot was a little stinging after stepping on it just now, but fortunately, the aura has not stopped circulating, thinking that it is not a big problem, temporarily stop the supply of the right foot, concentrate the aura on the left foot, and his toes are lightly.

It was really a few times before that he had left a lot of shadows, and he didn't dare to use his aura to exert his strength.

With this light, as he expected, a clear sense of aura swelled from under his feet, and his body was as light as a feather blown by the wind. He was overjoyed, reached out and grabbed the reins that were close at hand, and fell again under the pull of gravity.

The reins were pulled out of the sand by Li Yuntao's force, and then pulled by the force of his fall, dragging the horse's head downward.

The sand that had been stuck in the red horse began to pour into the tunnel in large quantities, and soon the tunnel was half filled. As the sand fell, the body of the jujube red horse also slipped down from the hole in the ceiling, and the already stiff body of the horse fell on the sand, not setting off any turbulent waves, only a faint muffled sound.

The sand was still falling, and with it bits and pieces that had been hanging from the saddle.

Li Yuntao could only hide to the side, quietly waiting for the sand to stop pouring into the corridor, and then began to collect the materials that could be used.

Your own water bladder.

Grain packets with roasted naan and jerky inside.

A food bag belonging to the Phantom Night, which contains small dried fish, a butcher's shop, and the tips of chicken wings.

The sleeping bag used for camping at night is, of course, customized by Li Yuntao himself. Master Song Tingyu will only cover a cloak and spread a layer of hay under his body when he sleeps at night, and he can deal with it all night.

Cowhide backpack with a change of clothes, boots and another pair of cloth shoes. Replacement spare parts for a dozen crossbow machines.

The crossbow machine, this guy was the last to dig out of the sand, when he was first discovered, he only saw an extended barrel that had been squeezed and bent, Li Yuntao thought that the crossbow machine was finished, but he didn't expect that when he dug it out, except for the barrel and one side of the crossbow arm that was bent and deformed, the other parts were well preserved.

The crossbow machine is his most powerful attack now, there is no crossbow machine, only an iron sword tied to his back, so that this rookie who can only use the basic skills of the sword can face the unknown monster, what is the difference between sending him to death?

The sapper shovel is tied to the edge of the saddle, and the saddle cannot be lost in it.

Now that he has found the backpack and the crossbow machine, Li Yuntao has the light of the oil lamp the size of a soybean grain, and hurries to repair the crossbow machine, the lamp oil in the wooden pipe is not much, and it may be extinguished at any time after such a long time, and he must repair this most powerful attack method before losing the light source.

Use a screwdriver to disassemble the outer cover of the crossbow machine, remove the crossbow string, then remove the deformed side of the crossbow arm, install the replacement metal components of the crossbow arm, simply use a brush to clean the sand in the crossbow machine, and finally restore everything.

Put on the crossbow string, rotate the winch to push the crossbow and miss the arrow, and test fire.

Buzz~huh~!

Laugh at!

Three voices sounded almost simultaneously.

The crossbow machine was repaired, and he happily dug out the crossbow shot into the dirt cave wall with a sapper shovel, checked the magazines on his body, and made only two magazines and 24 crossbow arrows. One magazine can hold six bolts, and all crossbows are only enough to reload two rounds of magazines, so each one is precious.

The crossbow bolt that had previously shot two arrows in the Oasis Battle had been resurrected by him with new shafts.

Fortunately, the dug crossbow was damaged and weak, and it can still be used.

After drinking a saliva and rinsing his mouth by the way, Li Yuntao carried a crossbow machine with good arrows, an iron sword and a backpack on his back, and a sapper shovel pinned to his waist. Draw a crossbow and throw it to the ground, and the arrow will go in whichever way it points.

Waving goodbye to the red horse that had been buried in the sand, the boy embarked on a dark and deep journey by himself.

While walking, chewing the small dried fish belonging to the Phantom Night True Monarch, Li Yuntao, who finally changed his taste, was at least satisfied in his heart for the time being, except for the anxiety about the uncertainty of the future.

It's a pity that the iron pot is hung on the military horse, otherwise you can try some cooking methods with open fire, which is better than dry nibbling cold naan cakes, isn't it?

But now, even if there is an iron pot, there is no firewood to burn, and it is better to have none. The provincial one sighed.

As mentioned before, the concept of time will be lost in a lightless environment, and Li Yuntao doesn't know how long he has been walking, he only knows that when he is tired, he will sit down and rest for a while, and when he is thirsty and hungry, he will eat and drink. Although the underground tunnel is cold and gloomy, it is much more comfortable than facing the wind and sand outside, although the oxygen content in the air is not high, and it is mixed with the stench of slime left by the tunnel owner.

The oil lamp had already been extinguished by him, and the little residual oil could only be left at the most critical time. Now he uses the touch of his feet and his arms to touch the wall to keep his body steady and move forward.

Without vision, his hearing has been greatly applied and tempered, and he has only opened the ear meridians not long ago, and his hearing has been greatly strengthened and improved, which is the time when he needs to apply exercise. The environment was quiet, and the slightest wind and grass could not escape his hearing capture, but it provided him with an opportunity to quickly familiarize himself with his new abilities.

The sound of viscous creeping and squeezing is heard, followed by the sound of the collision and friction of liquids flowing. The strong strange body odor was then sent into the nasal cavity, and he couldn't tell what the smell was, Li Yuntao only felt that it couldn't be limited to the narrow range of smell.

The owner of this tunnel came. But in front of him is the darkness that you can't see your fingers, and it doesn't matter if you open your eyes or not. The inside of the tunnel is not a straight line, its twists and turns are all based on the mood of the tunnel owner when he was building, so he touched the wall all the way and sat over, Li Yuntao only changed direction with the change of the wall, even if there was a fork in the road from time to time, he couldn't notice it, after all, there was no wind in this tunnel.

But now, the smell of the tunnel owner rushed to him. There must be a wind behind it, and if there is a wind, it is not far from the exit.

Now we can only gamble on the fact that the visual spectacle of this unknown creature of the tunnel master has long since degenerated.

Li Yuntao quickly took out a magnesium rod and a woodpipe oil lamp and lit it.

The light came to this underground tunnel again, and for a while Li Yuntao himself was a little unaccustomed to it, so he dug a small pit in the side wall of the tunnel with a sapper shovel and placed the oil lamp in the sunken pit. As long as you don't look directly at the light of the oil lamp, your eyes quickly adjust to the current brightness of the light. He did this before the monster came and wouldn't destroy the tiny oil lamp. The tunnel was apparently built according to its own body size, and it is estimated that this thing could not have lost much weight.

Li Yuntao saw the surrounding tunnel clearly, not bad, this is an arc-shaped tunnel about 100 meters long, although it is not straight, the arc is not very large, retreating into the crooked darkness of 50 meters, you can still see the faint light ahead, and it will not be covered by the curved tunnel wall.

Snort ~ szz ~ snort!

The speed of the squirming was accelerating, and the sound of mucus squeezing and rubbing was becoming clearer, and it was clear that the other party had discovered him.

"Come on, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, and I can't get out if I don't kill you." Li Yuntao patted the sniper crossbow that had been wound in his hand, and the slender elongated barrel tip sight was coldly pointed at the tunnel in front of the oil lamp, as soon as the big guy appeared, he would pull the trigger.

In fact, it takes the help of fire and hearing to find the big guy is completely Li Yuntao's thoughts, and when the monster made of fat appeared at the other end of the tunnel as far as the eye can see, Li Yuntao discovered it as soon as possible.

And it seems to have found its own purpose.

Sou!

The first arrow was fired without hesitation, and the sound of the crossbow tearing through the air lasted less than half a second.

Clang!

The rapid autobiographical crossbow loss was unexpectedly bounced off! Bounced open by those glowing eyes!

How could the eyes, the most fragile organ in any creature, have such defensive power, you must know that Li Yuntao's crossbow can penetrate even the hard skin of a demonic beast.

Although he was shocked, he was not slow at all when he was injured, and his right hand spun rapidly like a spinning top.

In less than two seconds, click! The second arrow is ready.

Try again!

Sou~

Clang!

Unsurprisingly, the arrow spun off again and crashed to the ground.

The fat monster was obviously speeding up, but it was traveling in the same pattern as maggots, so large that it couldn't get up fast even if it wanted to, and the glowing green slime on the surface of its skin was constantly smeared on the walls of the cave. At the very front of the body, the small head that could be regarded as the upper part of the body suddenly cracked when it came to the vicinity of the oil lamp, and the cracked and separated head became a large mouth like an eight-petal chrysanthemum, and was covered with layers of sharp teeth under the light of the oil lamp. The viscous saliva between the sharp teeth pulls countless threads of liquid between each mouth.

If it is swallowed, it will be churned into meat scraps in minutes.

Sou~!

The third arrow.

The snort hit the original head position, which was now on the flesh wall inside Kuoqiang. The purple blood was dull and black in the orange light of the oil lamp.

The monster froze, and this was its first injury, and it was obviously disrupted by the sudden pain, and the whole movement paused for two seconds.

Then a fourth arrow was fired into the open mouth.

Purple blood sprayed again, and the wound was side by side with the previous wound, closer to the center.

The fat maggot-like monster's open eight-petaled mouth twitched and trembled, and finally turned its head violently with the momentum of devouring some of them, and took the oil lamp on the side wall of the tunnel into its mouth, along with the wall.

Eight tentacle-like mouths squirmed wildly against the tunnel wall, rubbing against them. The tunnel, which had been illuminated by a glimmer of light, instantly returned to darkness.

Li Yuntao could only see from afar that the monster vaguely wrapped in green slime was still frantically outputting its own attacks. Behind the open eight-petal mouth, the red fluorescent dots that looked like eyes swayed with the twisting of the tentacles' mouths.

At this time, I can't think much about it.,This monster's enemy-seeking mode should be heat induction.,Just now it's not attacking itself.,It's not the heat source that actually attacks.,It's the closest heat source to it-woodpipe oil lamp.,It proves that it's completely blind.。

Just after seeing the eight-petal giant mouth that could almost cover the cross-section of this tunnel, Li Yuntao said that he couldn't get the courage to fight it in close combat.

Shoot it.

Sou~

Another crossbow bolt hit, piercing the mouth above its head from the side, presumably sinking into the flesh beneath the red fluorescent fake eye that attracted attention.

The maggot froze again, and then it squirmed faster and more aggressively at the cave walls, as evidenced by the glowing green slime around it and the red prosthetic eyes on its head that moved more violently in the dark.

Sou!

The last crossbow arrow in the magazine fired, and it hit again. It's just that Li Yuntao doesn't know where it hit, it's too dark, and he can't see it clearly with just a little fluorescence.

Unload the magazine, grab the second magazine from a convenient position, slap it into the card slot on the crossbow body along the memory, push the frame on the magazine, and turn the gear winch.

Click, the arrow is completed, Li Yuntao feels that at this moment, there is no more pleasant sound in the world.

If anything, it must be the dying wails of monsters.

Sou!

The bolt disappeared into the darkness.

Sou!

Shoot! Shoot! Keep shooting!

Magazine empty!

Li Yuntao had forgotten the tiredness of his arms, and only tried his best to pour all the crossbow arrows clean in the shortest possible time. Then he stared nervously at the glowing green in the far end of the darkness, which had not yet moved, and quickly loaded the remaining crossbow arrows from the quiver into the wooden magazine.

In my memory, this tunnel only had a slight arc, and my arrows guaranteed to hit all the targets.

It's just that it, it seems, as if, doesn't move anymore.

Li Yuntao was a little unsure, until he loaded all the crossbow arrows into the magazine and loaded the arrows again, then he held the sniper crossbow in his left hand and the sapper shovel in his right hand.

No matter how bad it is, it can still be used as a shield to block it, right?

Adjusting his breathing, suppressing his heartbeat that was almost out of his throat, he slowly approached his target with the fluorescent color in his eyes.

The target didn't move, motionless as if it were a dead body.

Nearly five meters away, the target remained silent.

The crisis warning from the talent was calm, in fact, its fluctuations were not very strong when it encountered the monster before, and it was obvious that this monster was not taken too seriously.

Li Yuntao finally approached the monster's side, stretched out his hand to touch its skin that still had residual heat in the dark, and under the touch of his palm, the skin that was far more delicate and tender than he imagined was subconsciously contracted and sunken, like a mimosa touched by human hands.

This contraction also scared Li Yuntao half to death, he instantly pulled away a distance of five meters, and pulled the trigger and shot another arrow.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that it didn't make any movement, and then cautiously approached again.

The cracked mouth flap was already weakly drooping on the ground at this time, and the glow of the fake eyes that flashed red fluorescence was still bright, and he reached out and knocked on it to make a slightly dull banging sound, which was indeed a real thick shell.

On the sides of the cracked flap beneath the shell of the eye, several blood holes were clearly the work of his own arrows.

"This is dead?"

"It's too inexplicable, isn't it?" Li Yuntao still couldn't believe that he had really killed a monster, and it was flowing with purple blood, so it could be regarded as a demonic beast.

The next thing, of course, is to disassemble the monster and retrieve its crossbow arrow, and by the way, see what the monster can do to itself.

Li Yuntao did not have his own dagger, so he could only use an iron sword to cut and disassemble the work.

The epidermal skin of this monster, temporarily known as the 'Sand Maggot', secretes a lot of mucus, and the skin is delicate and tender to the touch but surprisingly tough, and a few crossbow arrows stuck on it only sink in half, and it is not even as good as shooting Yamu Tooth.

The mucus secreted by the skin, though smelly, is not toxin-free, and seems to be used more to lubricate and mark territory.

After cutting through the epidermis, there is a layer of fat about 10 centimeters thick, which is far less thick than it would have imagined compared to its fat and bloated body. Underneath the fat layer is an unexpected layer of muscle and protein, which are layered on top of each other to form this unique limb structure.

Its organs are far less frightening than they seem, accounting for only one-twentieth of the total volume, the most important is the inner lumen, which starts from the mouth to the tail excretory port, it is like a living meat-bag, the intestines and stomach only absorb the part that they feel is nutritious, and the part that they do not want to absorb is directly pulled out.

As it died, so did the muscular strength that held it up, and with it gnawed at the dirt walls in its stomach, it gradually deflated, giving way to the tunnel.

On the other hand, its crux lies under the camouflaged compound eye, protected by the thick carapace of the compound eye. Li Yuntao took out three crossbow arrows and a crystal bead containing purple energy from the small cranial cavity.

The monster's protein is pure and extremely nutritious, as long as it is not contaminated with the mucus secreted on the skin on the surface, it is actually healthier than squid meat, as for whether it is delicious or not, you have to wait for Li Yuntao to try it to know. He cut three whole protein strips along the gap between the texture of the muscle and the protein, wrapped them in a cloth towel and put them in his backpack for later use.

It was the most difficult to dig out the woodpipe oil lamp from the soil in its mouth, and a small oil lamp that had been extinguished was buried in such a large mouthful of soil.

The oil lamp was already scarred and extinguished after it was found, but thankfully it didn't leak despite the scars, and it was still usable when lit on fire.

It's a pity that there is so much fat in front of him, but it can't be used as supplementary oil, because Li Yuntao has no means to refine oil.

After cleaning up, Li Yuntao climbed over the sand road and went down the corpse of maggots, and continued to move in the direction it came from.

The sand maggot left a freshly smeared mucus where it passed, and it was needless to say how strong the smell was, anyway, Li Yuntao plugged his nose with a strip of cloth, and he still couldn't stop it from invading it by breathing through his mouth.

Fortunately, it is the least smeared on the ground, and it is not slippery to walk. Half an hour before dark, Li Yuntao could already smell the smell of dust that was different from the smell of mucus brought by the fresh wind blowing into the tunnel, and the brightness in the tunnel had also increased significantly.

It was so gratifying that he was about to return to the light, and he had only said goodbye to it for a while (he thought he was)

Stepping away, Li Yuntao no longer cherishes his physical strength, at this time his body has become accustomed to acting in the dark without the help of vision, and running is not a problem.

Boom~!

Not long after he got up to speed, he slammed into the dirt wall of the tunnel, and the slime that had been freshly applied to the wall of the cave covered his entire front.

Forgot that this damn tunnel isn't a straight line.

In fact, he could only blame himself for being careless, and this turn happened to be the penultimate bend to the outside world. From here, he turned the last corner, and a bright hole appeared in front of him.

The total length of these two curves is only about 100 meters.

The nausea of standing on his body with mucus, anyway, his whole body smelled, and his own nose got used to it after smelling it for a long time. Even if he took off the strip of cloth that plugged his nostrils, he couldn't notice anything unusual. The strange stench and other mixed smells had been automatically ignored by his central nervous system.

Out of the hole, the entrance of the hole is about half a meter high from the ground. This is a wide hall, the elegant and graceful carvings at the bottom of the broken stone pillars show the good carving skills of the hall builders, and the layer of dust that has almost hardened on top tells Li Yuntao that this place has been sealed in dust for I don't know how long.

As he walked through the tunnel, he zigzagged and zigzagged underground, and he couldn't figure out the exact location of the underground hall building.

On the floor of the hall were the remains of broken stone carvings and various stone tables and chairs, as well as rusty slag that could barely be seen in the shape of swords and weapons, which would crumble into slag like soda crackers when you stepped on it with a little foot.

The rest of the area was covered with purple-red moss that looked like flesh and blood.

"It looks like a Zerg blanket, and so does that egg, if a brood appears at this time, I guess I've traveled to the StarCraft world."

However, there was no brood, and in the corner of the hall, in the thickest part of the moss, there were six oval eggs that were close to Li Yuntao's knees, and the shells on their surfaces were soft bast rather than the calcareous eggshells of bird eggs.

The bast is translucent, and through the phloem, you can vaguely see the purple blood vessels soaked in the egg liquid, connecting to the purple core in the center of the egg, which is like a human heart, beating according to its own rhythm.

On the other side of the hall, another opening, identical to when he came out, was quietly embedded in the stone wall. The central walkway in the hall, sandwiched by stone pillars, is clearly in the direction of the main door, and is blocked by a stone wall of unknown thickness. At the foot of the stone wall were a large number of weapon wreckage and white bone slag.

The stone walls around the hall were clearly carved with frescoes, and in addition to being covered by dust, there were also a large number of signs of sword damage. The content that can be seen is extremely limited, and the only one that Li Yuntao can identify is the content of the crowd on the earth looking up at the starry sky, and the three stars that are flashing this light are falling towards the earth, and the position of the falling is oblique towards a towering mountain.

"The gate is blocked, look inside, see if you can find a secret way out. I don't know how deep this building is underground, and if there is a skylight on it, I don't know if I can climb out. ”

"The dome is so high, even if it's a sand dune, it's big enough to pour the sand down and pour out a gap for me to climb out."

Just looking at the ceiling overhead, the dome carved so beautifully, I really don't want to destroy it, it has been crushed into the ground for so many years, if I poke a hole in it, will it be considered a destruction of historical relics?

Li Yuntao thought about it, and decided to go to the small door in the hall to have a look first.
