Chapter 120: Besieged
Seeing Zhang Haixing and them enter the cave in a flash, Wu Xie was not in a hurry.
At this critical juncture, it is useless to be anxious, his head is tied to the waistband of his trousers at this moment, and the more anxious he is, the easier it is to make mistakes, so he can only carefully poke forward step by step.
The churning cones of fire pushed up one scorching air stream after another, and the air in the entire space seemed to be burning, and Wu Xie had the illusion that he was staying in a high-temperature microwave oven.
With every breath he breathed, he felt as if his lungs were about to be burned, and every pore on his body was shouting so hot.
I feel that after this experience, he will not be able to eat braised pork lung slices in the future, so he has to eat cold salad.
The fat man was walking in front of him, Wu Xie followed closely behind, and before he knew it, the two had reached the middle of the chain bridge.
The closer you get to the middle, the more pronounced the chain will swing with your pace.
Wu Xie walked in fear, staring at the chain in front of him, and only dared to step forward when he saw the next foothold, he didn't even dare to breathe for extra breath, for fear that he would accidentally pant too much and fall down if he was not careful.
The muscles of the whole body are tense all the time and dare not relax, and after a long time, they will be sore, and the gas mask is full of sweat, and it is very hot.
Wu Xie stopped and slowed down, wanting to see how far he was from the end in front of him, as soon as he raised his head, the corners of his eyes began to sting, and sweat flowed in, and he reflexively closed his eyes.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, his ankle suddenly tightened, and something came out from under the chain bridge, grabbing his leg and tearing him down.
Wu Xie reacted very quickly, and the moment he fell, he held the chain with both hands to fix himself, and the other foot that was not caught quickly kicked a few times on the thing that grabbed him.
Kicking that thing painfully retracted his claws, Wu Xie immediately retracted his legs, and squinted his eyes to look backwards and down, but he didn't find the thing that was grabbing him just now.
He was pretty sure that it couldn't have been an illusion, but strangely, the thing was gone.
Where the hell did it go?
The pain in his left eye was so bad that he had to look around with his other eye, but he didn't find anything unusual in front of or behind him.
However, at the moment when his head turned back, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something squatting on the chain next to him.
Wu Xie chuckled in his heart, slowly raised his eyes, and suddenly gasped in shock.
Oh my God! What the hell is this thing in front of him?
Obviously he has the same limbs as a person, but his head is like a bucket, twice the width of his shoulders, as if a chopstick has been inserted under a plate and has become a fine, and his face does not have any normal facial features, and his whole big face is completely a pot and helmet cake baked on a charcoal fire.
It seemed to have been subjected to some kind of brutal torture, its whole body was covered with red and hideous burns, there was not a good skin in sight, and its eyes and ears had been brutally gouged out, leaving only one ear hole on each side of its head.
It couldn't see, so it kept tapping its ears to catch the sound, crouching on a chain like a skinned monkey.
Wu Xie's eyes glanced down, his heart screamed, the two claws of this thing were very sharp, and the tips of the claws still had barbs, with this distance between the two chains, he had no doubt that once he made a movement and alarmed this monster, in the next second, the sharp claw tips would pierce a certain place on his body following the sound.
But lying on the chain like this is not a problem, Wu Xie held his breath, and used 0.5x slow motion to retract his hands and feet to a kneeling position, so that he could stand up from behind.
As soon as he raised his knees, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and a big face crawling with earthworm-like twisted coils and burns suddenly came to him.
Damn it! Wu Xie's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately held his breath, and cursed a series of swear words in his heart.
Fortunately, this ghost thing has no nostrils, no sense of smell, and it can't detect the smell on Wu Xie's body.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
After Wu Xie's breathing disappeared, the fire monster tilted its head sideways and stood still in place for more than ten seconds, and suddenly jumped down at the magma below.
Wu Xie's heart almost jumped to his throat with this beat, and his eyes immediately chased down.
Unexpectedly, the thing didn't want to commit suicide, but hung on the chain with a thick long whip tail with a barb behind it, like a zoo monkey hanging upside down on a tree branch swing, and then grabbed the iron cage underneath, shrunk its limbs, and got into it with a "swoop".
"......" Wu Xie was suddenly shocked, this monster actually crawled out of the iron cage directly.
In other words, under the entire bronze chain they are now in, there are at least a dozen of these monsters covered in burns!
Now, the appearance of one such monster means that they will encounter countless troubles in the future.
Thinking of this, Wu Xie hurriedly stood up and looked at the fat man in front of him, only to see that the fat man was also tense, one hand had already pulled out the knife and held it, standing motionless on the chain, looking at the movement, it seemed that he was confronting something in front of him.
He quickly moved his gaze forward, and after seeing the situation over there, his eyes suddenly darkened.
It's over, almost all the monsters in the cage hanging under the chain in front of the fat man have escaped, and the road ahead is completely blocked.
I suddenly felt bad in my heart, and when I turned my head and looked back, Wu Xie was about to faint, and the back road was also blocked.
On the entire bronze chain, and even on the other chains around it, one after another fire monsters also climbed up silently.
They are surrounded by monsters!
Wu Xie scolded in his heart, dog's day, Zhang Haixing, why didn't these ghost things appear when they were in the past.
Even if they haven't been spotted yet, as long as these monsters take two steps forward, they will definitely run into him and the fat man.
There was a distance of three meters between the two, and Wu Xie could feel that the fat man's body was shaking, and he couldn't help but want to tremble.
At this time, the fat man suddenly glanced back at Wu Xie, and his eyes were decisive and ruthless.
Wu Xie immediately understood what he meant, the fat man was planning to rush forward and kill.
Both of them knew very well that if they were trapped in the encirclement of these monsters all the time and couldn't make a sound, they wouldn't be able to get water from their backpacks to replenish their water.
In this extreme heat environment, within half an hour, they will lose their blood volume due to dehydration, and then faint, and rush forward with a chance of life.
Wu Xie no longer hesitated, and immediately made a string of gestures at the fat man and pulled out the big white dog's legs.
At the end of the three countdowns, the fat man roared angrily, stepped on the chains and ran wildly, slashing and lifting, and instantly pushed the two fire monsters off the magma.
