Chapter 63: Snakes are infested

Wu Xiaoye found that the four corpse turtle kings squatting at the mouth of the Qilin blood bottle had not moved for a long time since they fell.

It was not a solution to keep stalemate, so I tentatively blew a breath over there, but still did not move.

That's a bit weird.

Wu Xiaoxie gritted his teeth, pulled off the cotton on the cotton swab, rolled it into a long strip, and then tentatively poked one of the small insects that fell on the mouth of the bottle.

As a result, something unexpected happened.

The little red bug actually fell directly from the mouth of the bottle and fell to the ground, with its six claws facing the sky.

This corpse turtle king actually died at some point!

Wu Xiaoxie went to poke a few others, and the results were without exception.

He was shocked, I damn it, he always thought that the blood of the wooden fish was just an insect repellent, but he didn't expect that it could kill insects just by smell.

After not hearing movement for such a long time, Xie Yuchen felt a little uncomfortable.

"Wu Xie?" Xie Yuchen shouted tentatively, "Wu Xie, how are you?" ”

Wu Xiaoxie came back to his senses and hurriedly responded, "I'm fine, those insects are dead." ”

Xie Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to crawl inside.

Wu Xiaoxie burned the insects and the things that had come into contact with them, and detoxified the bottle before covering it and putting it away.

Crawling and crawling, the light and shadow flickered, and Xie Yuchen's attention was suddenly attracted by something above.

Wu Xiaoxie saw that the light shadow in the darkness inside was not moving, so he asked him if he had reached the end.

"It's not there yet, but I find something strange hanging on here." Xie Yuchen said, "This is not a stone. ”

Not a stone?

"What's that?" Wu Xiaoxie became nervous.

The light swept a few times, and Xie Yuchen's voice sounded faint, "I can't see clearly, it's hanging high, it seems to be ...... What animal skins? ”

The shadow of the lamp swayed on the top, and the wheezing in the gap grew heavier and heavier.

"You be careful, you listen to you panting like a broken bellows, or settle down first, I'm afraid that you will accidentally break a jar in a hurry." Wu Xiaoxie immediately said to Xie Yuchen.

Hearing this, Xie Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "I'm not breathing, isn't this voice from you?" ”

"I've been here all the time, I haven't lifted my legs twice, where are I gasping like this?" Wu Xiaoxie was also stunned, and immediately reacted, picked up the short-handled shotgun and aimed it into the gap.

Xie Yuchen heard the sound of the gun being loaded, and was silent for a moment, the wheezing sound was still there, but due to the echo, he couldn't hear where the sound came from.

After listening quietly for a long time, Wu Xiaoxie stabilized his mind, "I probably guessed what it was." ”

"What?" Xie Yuchen was still shining a flashlight on it.

"You turn off the lights." Wu Xiaoxiao said, "It is likely that the pheasant neck that made this sound was the pheasant neck I told you before, it is imitating your wheezing, this snake has phototaxis, you stay quiet, I will find a way to lure it out and solve it." ”

Xie Yuchen was silent for a moment, said "yes", and turned off the flashlight.

The space in the gap was suddenly shrouded in oppressive darkness, and there was one strange gasp after another.

There are chain stones hanging and interspersed inside, so you can't shoot them, because the iron sand may touch the copper nail mechanism on the wall if you are not careful, and once the stone falls, the small flowers lying on top of the jar will be smashed into stuffing.

Wu Xiaoxie came to a spacious enough place, set off five cold fireworks in a row, illuminating the entire stone room as bright as day, and then retreated to the corner, holding a gun and waiting quietly.

He kept staring at the mouth of the gap, his eyes half-squinted, and fine sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead.

Several cold fireworks burned together, illuminating his eyes, and the air was filled with a strong, pungent smell of burning metal.

In a trance, he felt as if a red light flickered in front of him, and subconsciously aimed the gun at it.

As a result, I saw a blood-red cockscomb snake with thick arms falling on a cold firework closest to the mouth of the gap, tilting its head and staring curiously at the burning flames.

Wu Xiaoxie calmed down, aimed the muzzle of the gun at its head, and was about to shoot, but saw that its upper body suddenly stood up, and the fiery red cockscomb couldn't help shaking, making a panting sound one after another.

As in the Snake Swamp, this snake is always able to mimic the most frequent sounds made by other creatures.

Wu Xiaoxie no longer hesitated, pulled the trigger with his index finger, and with a "bang", the entire snake body of the pheasant's neck was instantly knocked out by the iron sand sprayed out of the barrel, and fell to the wall behind it, and blood splattered all over the ground.

After waiting for a few seconds, confirming that the pheasant's neck, which had fallen at the root of the wall and was broken in half, no longer moved, Wu Xiaoxie just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly his back sank, and a creepy ominous premonition came to his heart.

Before he had time to think, he reflexively threw himself forward with the gun, and the strong wind blew, and he immediately heard a dull crash behind him.

The moment he rolled on the spot and got up, he didn't even see what the other party was, and the shot was already fired.

Thanks to the training during this time, his body's nerve reflexes are so fast that he feels unbelievably fast.

He thought the shot was going to hit, but when he looked again, he found that there was nothing on the wall except for a few drops of blood and the marks of gunpowder collisions.

I suddenly screamed in my heart, it's broken, that thing has been hidden.

Under the scorching light of the cold flames, the entire stone chamber was empty except for the corpse of the dead snake.

He immediately searched for a wall with his back against it, and searched carefully around the hoistway and bearings.

With a flicker of his eyes, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked at it again, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The corpse of the dead pheasant's neck in the corner was gone, and it was just a blink of an eye.

He immediately realized that there was more than one pheasant neck here.

The air fell silent, and the sound of water in my ears became clearer and clearer, mixed with an inexplicable fluttering sound, as if someone was whispering.

Wu Xiaoxie frowned, this voice, he seemed to have heard it somewhere.

The dense fluttering sound was amplified by the echo and became somewhat ethereal.

Listening to this, he felt a little dizzy in his head, as if he was drunk, and wanted to lie down and sleep immediately.

The sound of water coming out of the well came from the mouth of the well.

In a trance, Wu Xiaoxie saw a humanoid thing, covered in black hair, standing upright from the water.

The fluttering sound gradually became clear as this thing appeared.

Wu Xiaoxie's face froze in place, one hand in his coat pocket, indifferent to the slow approach of the thing.

Seeing that Wu Xiaoxie didn't react, that thing gradually became bolder.

The large mouth covered with hair opened wider and wider, like a deep dark well, and from it poked out a red tongue, like the smell of Komodo dragons catching prey, the tip of the tongue trembled, and it crawled out of the large mouth, and then another appeared.

It's now—

Wu Xiaoxie's eyes, which were originally in a state of stupor, suddenly condensed, and the hand in his coat pocket was thrown out at once, and then he quickly knelt down against the wall with his head in his hands.

A silver light flashed, because the distance was less than three meters, and it was directly and accurately pierced into the black-haired monster.

There was a loud bang, and flesh and blood splattered.

Xie Yuchen had just fallen into the water through the clay pot and got up, and before he could observe the situation inside, he heard a deafening explosion outside.

As if there had been an earthquake, the entire stone chamber shook violently, the chains crackled and rubbed, and the stones hanging from the top of the crack began to shake, and the jar underneath was also buzzed by the sound.

Xie Yuchen didn't know what was going on outside, but fortunately, the explosion only sounded for a while, and the surrounding area quickly returned to calm, and the stone above the clay pot did not fall.

He flashed his flashlight through the gap, but visibility was limited, and he couldn't see anything but smoke coming in from outside.

"Wu Xie? Wu Xie. He tried to scream twice, but didn't hear a response.

Pursing his lips, as if he had made up his mind, he turned to look at the stone chamber and stepped into the waterhole.

The water is not shallow, and it goes straight above the knees.

The ground under the water resembles a funnel, and the deeper you go, there is a huge spherical thing in the center of the stone chamber, surrounded by chains like spider webs.

Xie Yuchen approached step by step, and finally held his breath and went underwater, only then did he completely see the whole picture of the behemoth.

It was an indescribable bronze sphere, with an irregular surface with intricate ancient patterns and countless holes, each with an iron chain extending into a small hole in the stone wall of the waterhole.

The chains that had been brought in through the cracks in the stone chamber bearings outside were also connected to the hole in this strange hornet's nest.

The wound on his shoulder seemed to be cracked, and Xie Yuchen felt a tingling pain, and the pain of the wound became more and more unbearable in the cold water.

He got out of the water and climbed onto the narrow shore.

In order to reduce the weight, he only carried a rope and a pid with him, looked around, and found that there was a supporting stone beam on the top of the stone chamber, and he had an idea.

He untied the rope from his waist, tied the pitons to the ends, and threw them up, and the pitons took the rope to the stone beam, flew over one side and buckled the other.

After testing the sturdiness, Xie Yuchen climbed the rope to climb the stone beam, then took off the pitons, tied the rope a few knots on the stone beam, and then slid down the rope.

Outside the gap, Wu Xiaoxie curled up and lay on his side on the ground, with a splitting headache.

Before the explosion, he was originally prostrate on the ground, but he was directly blown off by the explosion and stinking blood gas mixed with the stench of blood.

The iron plate on his back was hit by this, and his diaphragm almost stopped breathing, and the severe pain made him suspect that he had cracked his shoulder blades and washed away the gas mask on his face.

Before he could recover from the pain, he suddenly felt a chill under his nose, and then, a spicy and pungent smell was inhaled into his nasal cavity, and with the airflow instantly surged to the nasopharynx, the sour numbness went straight into the Tianling cover, and tears came out at once.

He covered his nose, and there was an indescribable discomfort in his head, severe dizziness, nausea, and finally retching.

He couldn't help but scream, but found that his tongue and throat were numb, he didn't know what was wrong with him, his fingers accidentally touched something, and the sharp touch of his fingertips told him that it was a pottery shard.

He felt that he was dying of discomfort, and his last thought was to write down the situation here and leave a message for Xiaohua.

He gripped the pottery shard tightly, ignoring even the pain of the cut in his palm, write it down, write it down quickly.

In a daze, he opened his eyes in a daze, and felt that the entire space in front of him was floating, and there were several gray shadows, which were facing away from what he was doing.

Wu Xiaoxie tried his best to open his eyes wide, and craned his neck, trying to see who the other party was.

He could clearly feel the sound of gurgling water, the sound of his heartbeat, and even the flow of blood under his skin.

But at this time, his brain could no longer think, and his whole body fell into a state of stupor, and his eyelids blinked slowly, and finally slowly closed.

He could feel it for a long, long time, as if someone had come to him and moved his body.

After that, the feeling of dizziness and discomfort slowly disappeared, and he fell asleep completely.

Regaining consciousness, he felt warm in himself.

I barely opened an eye, and saw two familiar figures sitting beside me.

It may be that the dullness of the brain has not eased up, and the first thing he said was, "In the underworld, is there an electric blanket too?" ”

Xie Yuchen looked at his demented expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The guy on the side was amused by this sentence.

Wu Xiaoxie's eyes turned to stare at him, "Evil beast, what are you laughing at." ”

Nie Xiaoba: "......"

Xie Yuchen laughed and laughed very heartily.

Nie Xiaoba was a little dumbfounded, shrunk to the side aggrievedly, neither laughing nor crying.

He's just slaughtering a pig, and he's not even a human anymore.

"Are you feeling better?" Xie Yuchen helped Wu Xiaoxie up and let him lean on his backpack.

Wu Xiaoxie's mind finally turned around, blinked his eyes, and raised his arms and legs through the blanket, confirming that there were no missing parts except for soreness, so he was relieved.

Xie Yuchen saw that he was in a better state, fed him some water, and said, "I don't know how you made such a big movement outside, and when I came out, you were already lying in the corner, trembling like a seizure." ”

"Oh yes, I found this in your nostrils." Xie Yuchen used tweezers to hold something the size of a white grain of rice and brought it to Wu Xiaoxie's eyes and asked him to take a closer look.

Wu Xiaoxie squinted his eyes and looked at it, and found that there was a hole on the little thing, "What is this?" ”

"At that time, your nose was bleeding all the time, and you couldn't stop it, and when you looked closely, you realized that there was one of these things stuck inside."

Xie Yuchen smiled strangely, "You are unlucky enough, the snake was killed, and the fangs flew into your nose." ”
