Chapter 179: The Cave
The cave was much larger than expected, muddy and damp all over, puddles of yellow mud, and patches occupied almost all of the ground in the cave.
The damp and smelly air is mixed with an indescribable strange smell that fills the nasal cavity, but because of the ventilation, at least the cave will not hold its breath, just opposite the two, about fifty meters away from the two, there is a narrow passage more than one person wide on the cave wall of the quagmire in the middle, which seems to have been washed out by the rain all the year round, and on the muddy slope of the passage, there are rainwater carrying mud slowly flowing down, and the breeze blows into the cave from there.
Xia Zuo and the two looked at each other silently in amazement, after all the previous experiences, both of them have a lot of knowledge about this damn jungle, in this dangerous Hydra jungle, it is definitely not a good thing for those golden monkeys outside to be afraid, that only shows one thing, there are things here that make them afraid.
From time to time, water droplets were dripping from the top of the cave, and the quiet flickering made Xia Zuo and the others instinctively feel a sense of danger, the feeling that something was wrong and goosebumps were just like before the arrival of the swarm.
With a slight gesture of hooking hands, the two of them faced the cave, rubbing their feet and retreating backwards, for fear of making a slight noise, disturbing the unknown danger that suddenly appeared from somewhere.
Before the two of them exited, there was a noisy chaotic sound outside the cave, accompanied by the frightened screams of the monkeys and the sound of hurried footsteps, more than a dozen reddish-brown figures appeared at the flat entrance of the cave more than two highs, blocking Xia Zuo's retreat out of the cave.
"Woo" came out of the staggered canine teeth with a hideous roar with the smell of blood. More than a dozen strong ghost wolf city eyes and butterfly wings lined up, slowly moving forward, and pressed towards the two of them step by step.
At the forefront was a wounded ghost wolf, with a palm-sized scorched black scar on the reddish-brown fur on his chest, and dark red pupils like bloodstone staring fiercely at Xia Zuo and the two.
Even if it is a fierce beast, the ghost wolf cannot escape the wolf instinct in the bloodline, and holding grudges is undoubtedly an obvious trait in the wolf nature.
Just like now, when Xia Zuo and the two of them get on it, it will follow the scent of the two of them.
More than a dozen ghost wolves, the fierce aura is connected. Step by step, after all, the sense of oppression. Xia Zuo and the two couldn't help but slowly retreat, but in a few breaths, they stepped on the edge of the quagmire without retreating.
"What should I do?" Ivy, whose face was pale, didn't notice that she unconsciously asked the orcs who had always thought them despicable for advice.
"Wait for the fight to start. Create a chance! Rush out!" Xia Zuo whispered in a serious face. But I don't know much in my heart either.
A ghost wolf with a powerful body. Even if it doesn't rely on other forces, it is also used for the strength of the Silver Fighter, although Xia Zuo's strength has doubled one after another. But there is still a gap between the Silver Fighter, and even with the addition of various powerful fighting skills, at most two ghost wolves can only be fronted at the same time.
Ivy's situation is similar to Xia Zuo, even if her strength is stronger, and it is already the limit to contain three at the same time, at this time, in the face of the number of more than a dozen, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a desperate situation.
The ghost wolf approached little by little, staring at more than a dozen pairs of seeping eyes, and the sense of silence and oppression made the palms of the two of them involuntarily overflow with tense water stains.
Suddenly, the ghost wolves' pace suddenly froze, and the ghost wolves on the far left jumped restlessly, and their mouths kept roaring threateningly and intimidating at the faint ripples on the muddy mud.
In the ripples, a one-foot-wide mud-yellow striped creature slowly poked out of the mud, the flat body of the arthropod was like a large centipede with its claws removed, standing straight and leaking muddy water about two meters high, and two huge fangs full of barbs abruptly grew on the left and right sides of the front end of the bar, each with a circular hole on the fang, and a faint film flashing back and forth like eyelids.
The creature poking out of the mud stood upright like a giant snake, making a fine "magnetic" sound in the flickering of its eye sockets, and its body slowly swayed from side to side, and the ghost wolf that confronted it tightly tensed the steely muscles of its body, jumping forward and backward, and a pair of bloodstone-like eyes swayed with the slow rhythm of the strange snake.
At the moment when all the nervous eyes were completely unprepared, the mud splashed, and in the yellow muddy water, an oval-shaped huge head suddenly ejected from the muddy water, without eyes and nose, except for a huge mouth in the front that seemed to split the mouth in half.
A piercing scream, the dangerous aura in an instant, made Feng Han's hair cold, and an incredibly fast phantom ejected from his big mouth like lightning, and at the moment when Xia Zuo's eyes were not captured at all, a vine-like reddish-brown tongue had already passed through the neck of the ghost wolf.
Xia Zuo saw the whole picture of the monster in the mud clearly, and the first arthropod hit object was like the tail of a poisonous scorpion, strangely embedded in the mud-yellow round body, like a huge tadpole, with two anti-joint thighs under it, stirring up patches of muddy water in the yellow mud.
The ghost wolf whose body was penetrated fell to the ground in response, and the muscles of his body twitched slightly, and he was unwilling to spit out the last breath of turbidity, and the penetrated wound did not strangely shed a little blood, but the dark red tongue became more and more red.
Xia Zuo, who had fought with them, was extremely clear about the strong strength and terrifying flesh of these ghost wolves, but the two thick penetrating wounds, even if they pierced the heart, it was impossible to die in such a short period of time, Xia Zuo clearly watched the solid muscles of the ghost wolf stool in a few breaths, just like the fur covered not with musculoskeletal bones, but with strands of flesh and pus.
The answer was obvious, the monster's tongue infused the ghost wolf's body with a powerful venom, and it was an extremely powerful poison, even melting a ghost wolf with a flesh strong enough to compare to a silver fighter into a puddle of pus in just a few breaths.
The monster slowly withdrew its tongue, and the ghost wolf sank into the mud as if no one was around, dragging the swollen belly and disappearing in the ripples.
"Woo woo" wailed, the ghost wolf with a very high command screamed, and quickly withdrew from the cave with his tail between his legs, but he did not escape, but after pushing out of the cave, he lay on the ground around the cave, staring at the entrance of the cave with a pair of eyes, waiting for Xia Zuo and the two to come out.
"Hell, I hate beasts with long brains!" Xia Zuo gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, those ghost wolves were just guarding there, with the current strength of the two of them, it was impossible to rush out.
It's just that Xia Zuo, who was scolding, didn't pay attention, when he was angry and scolding, Ivy secretly glanced at him, and muttered softly in his mouth, in the eyes of Ivy, who received the education of the Holy See since childhood, Xia Zuo is just an erect beast with a brain, but more cunning and treacherous than ordinary erect beasts.
Maybe it was because of the chaotic and hasty footsteps of the wolves when they withdrew, and a ripple slowly appeared on the muddy mud, and the sudden infiltrating killing intent made Xia Zuo's body tense and stiff.
In the faint ripples of the muddy water, the tails of the three arthropods slowly popped out of the mud, and there were bursts of dense clear sounds in the rapid opening and closing of the eyelids of the tail tongs, like the previous monsters, the three tails standing upright on the muddy water slowly swayed from side to side.
The horror of this monster was fully displayed in the attack just now, where did Xia Zuo and the two dare to stay by this muddy water, their faces changed suddenly, they held their breath, and cautiously retreated towards the entrance of the cave.
It was only when the two of them approached the entrance of the cave that more than a dozen ghost wolves outside the cave suddenly stood up one after another, with a low hoarse roar, once Xia Zuo and the two approached, the wolves would suddenly attack and tear the two to pieces.
There were mud monsters in front, wolves in the back, and Xia Zuo and the two couldn't advance or retreat in the middle.
"Hell, hell!" Xia Zuo scolded angrily, his eyes kept looking around the cave, and finally locked his eyes on the obvious other exit on the opposite side of the cave, and gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Let's rush out from there!"
"What are you talking about, are you crazy?" Ivy's face changed, looking at Xia Zuo in disbelief like a madman, the terrifying toxin of the monster was clearly displayed just now, she would rather go out and fight those ghost wolves than get close to those terrifying things.
"Even if we rush out, those ghost wolves will follow us all the way, and who knows what monsters will be attracted when the time comes, from here to the past, at least for the time being!" Xia Zuo sneered and analyzed in a low voice, the monsters in the muddy water, the biggest threat comes from the vine-like tongues in their mouths, as long as they rush through this muddy pond before they emerge, the two of them can survive.
Ivy hesitated, after all, it was much easier to rush out of the ghost wolf pack than to rush through the short distance of fifty meters.
As the splash of water on the quagmire grew, the ferocious murderous aura that made people feel sick once again filled the entire cave, and Xia Zuo whispered impatiently, "Don't hesitate, if you decide to rush out of the wolves, then we will go our separate ways now!"
Without waiting for Ivy to answer, Xia Zuo condensed the strength of his body on the soles of his feet and continued to compress.
Like a spring thunder bursting, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and dense cracks spread from Xia Zuo's feet, instantly leading from the ground to the top of the cave, and the figure that flew out suddenly disappeared in the cave, and the terrible sound of the body tearing through the air rolled up layers of rotating hurricanes.
The yellow mud flew upside down and rolled up like the sky, leaking out the bodies of three large tadpole-like monsters lurking under the mud.
"Hmph!" Stimulated by Xia Zuo's disdainful gaze, Ivy snorted coldly, and a chilling scorching flame spread across her body, flying by like a pop, and the damp cave immediately made a "ziz" sound, and a stream of scorching water vapor and white smoke evaporated and filled. (To be continued......) u
