Chapter 372: The Pearl of the Night

Since they had been forced by this giant worm to have no way to retreat, Li Yuanhao and An Xin decided not to continue to hide. γ€ŽWuji World No pop-up ads to read. β†–They didn't do anything, each clenched the nameless sword in his hand, and greeted the giant insect that had already pounced fiercely.

At this moment, the giant insect knocked down a thick stalagmite like a madman, and with a deafening loud sound, its round and hard body quickly crushed over the rubble everywhere. The nameless sword in the hands of An Xin and Li Yuanhao stabbed silently like a ghost.

The speed of the two of them was extremely fast, and a silver light flashed in front of them, and in an instant, dozens of wounds were scratched on the giant insect's pitch-black body, and yellow liquid immediately seeped out from its wounds.

Because the sword body is short and the giant worm is too large, the damage inflicted on it is very limited. However, the giant worm, which had never suffered such a big loss, was extremely angry. Its fat body jumped up like an electric shock, and began to shake its head and tail vigorously, trying to use its body to crush the culprit in front of it into a patty.

Seeing that it suddenly went crazy, An Xin immediately avoided it sensitively. Li Yuanhao was too close to it, so he didn't have time to dodge for a while, and was swept away by its stubby tail. Hearing a dull loud noise, Li Yuanhao was hit by this huge force and took several steps back, until his back hit a rock wall heavily, and then stopped.

An Xin, who fell on the other one, was suddenly startled, and she immediately shouted loudly: "Yuan Hao, are you okay?" ”

Li Yuanhao felt that the internal organs in his chest seemed to have been shaken a lot. In addition to the severe pain. There was also a rusty smell coming to his mouth. He took a few deep breaths before forcing the rust to swallow, then replied loudly, "I'm fine." ”

After Li Yuanhao stood firm, he glanced at it. only to find that although the shell of the giant insect had been cut with countless wounds and the yellow liquid that flowed out was scattered all over the ground, it was still running wildly, crushing a lot of stalagmites.

His brow furrowed. Then he opened his mouth and said loudly to An Xin: "This can't be done, these external injuries don't have much effect on it at all, and it still has to find its weaknesses." ”

Weakness? An Xin's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she remembered the scene when the giant rats and giant insects fought fiercely before. Hurriedly said in a loud voice, "I see." Its weakness lies in the gap between its chest and feet and abdomen. ”

At this time, the giant insect's attention seemed to be completely attracted by An Xin, and countless new tentacles stretched out from its mouthparts, all rushing towards An Xin. An Xin had to rely on her agile skills. Shuttle back and forth between these devilish tentacles.

Li Yuanhao saw An Xin in order to attract the attention of the giant insect. Deliberately shuttling in front of its eyes. Several times, I was almost entangled in the almost ubiquitous tentacles of the giant insects. He secretly clenched the nameless sword in his hand and gritted his teeth. Drill into its belly.

An Xin saw this scene and was frightened, she shouted at Li Yuanhao: "Be careful." ”

Li Yuanhao got into the belly of the giant insect, and the two rows in front of him were full of the giant insect's stubby chest and feet, which were still kicking around. He gritted his teeth and held the nameless sword horizontally in his hand. Finding the right opportunity, he inserted it into the gap between the chest and foot of the giant insect and the abdomen.

This place does not have that hard shell, which is a veritable weakness of giant insects. Li Yuanhao was like cutting tofu, and easily inserted the nameless sword into it. Then he pushed the hilt of the sword out horizontally, and there was a great posture that the giant worm was about to be cut in half.

A large amount of yellow liquid poured out of its wounds. After several battles, Li Yuanhao already knew that the yellow liquid gushing out of its body surface should be its blood, and it was not corrosive, so Li Yuanhao did not dodge. He just gritted his teeth and pushed the hilt of the sword in his hand with all his might. The wound was gradually torn bigger and bigger, gradually revealing the pink flesh film inside the giant worm's body.

The sharp pain in the abdomen caused the giant worm's tentacles, which were still waving wildly, to shrink suddenly, and its whole body began to tremble irrepressibly. It couldn't see what was going on in its abdomen, but it vented all its anger on An Xin's body in front of it.

I saw that it withdrew all its tentacles into its mouthparts, and then lowered its head and arched its body, like a tank, with the sound of whistling wind, and slammed into An Xin.

Li Yuanhao, who was still in its belly, had already taken precautions, he tightly grasped the hilt of the sword that was still buried deep in the body of the giant insect with one hand, grabbed one of the chest feet of the giant insect with the other hand, and then turned his body over, and actually jumped onto its back.

Seeing that his feet were desperately clamping the body of the giant insect, its back was slippery, so that Li Yuanhao almost slipped down several times, and he simply grabbed the crown-like black sarcoma on the head of the giant insect to facilitate the stabilization of his body.

At this time, the giant insect in grief and anger crashed headlong into An Xin. An Xin knew that she couldn't resist it head-on, so she had to jump forward, grab the gap in the rock above, and then swing her feet and swing her body lightly.

And where she was standing, she was hit by a giant worm, and she heard a loud noise, and a large piece of rock wall actually collapsed. A faint light spilled out, revealing several steps of stone behind the rock wall. Meandering up, I don't know where it leads.

Li Yuanhao rode on the head of the giant insect, and was so disgraced by rock debris that he couldn't even open his eyes. I saw An Xin shouting in surprise: "Yuan Hao, we have a way out." ”

Li Yuanhao didn't care about the way out An Xin said at the moment, the giant worm under his ass was still jumping desperately, and the tentacles in his mouthparts kept waving in the air, trying to get the uninvited guest riding on his head down, smashing it into a meatloaf and tearing it to pieces.

Li Yuanhao's body slid involuntarily on it, and he felt that his bones were about to be turned apart. His body was also crooked, and his whole person showed a downward trend, as if he would be thrown to the ground heavily in the next second. And above his head, there are countless tentacles like poisonous snakes flying around, which looks very thrilling. In order to stabilize his body, he had to hold on to the black sarcoma under his hand.

It's also strange to say, Li Yuanhao feels that the sarcoma in his hand is soft. But every time he involuntarily pinched it tightly, he could feel the huge insect body under him trembling violently, as if it had touched the pain nerve.

Li Yuanhao's heart lit up, he slammed the sarcoma under his hand, screamed, and pulled it out with all his might. For a while, yellow water splashed, and a thick black casing-like thing was forcibly pulled out by him.

The giant insect kept screaming in pain, and shook its head like crazy. Li Yuanhao couldn't sit still at its head anymore, and he clenched the sarcoma that had been pulled out in his hand. Kick hard under your feet. The body sprang forward, and the black casing was pulled out of the head of the giant worm by him.

As if it couldn't bear the pain, the giant worm's round body suddenly erected. Yellow liquid poured out of the wound on its head like a waterfall. Li Yuanhao was afraid that it would continue to struggle. Immediately put the slippery casing in your hand. Tightly tied to a stalagmite beside him. Then he withdrew with An Xin.

The body of the giant worm froze in mid-air for a long time, then fell with a thud and fell. The dust on the ground was stirred up and flew all over the sky.

Looking at the pile of mountain-like giant insect bodies on the ground, Li Yuanhao said with some doubts: "Is it just dead?" ”

An Xin also stared closely at the pile of motionless Roshan in front of her, and said hesitantly: "Its wheezing sound is gone, I think it should be dead." ”

"Good fellows." Li Yuanhao sighed and said: "It's really the first time I've seen such a bug." I don't know what kind of monster it is. ”

An Xin said: "Maybe it's just the most common bug, you may have seen it a lot before, but you have never paid attention to it." It's just that after surviving here for a long time, it will become like this, and it's not worth making a fuss. ”

She walked to the bottom of the staircase that had been hidden behind the rock wall and looked up. But I saw that these stone steps went up, and on the stone walls on both sides, there was a round bead inlaid at every other distance, and it also emitted a faint yellow light. An Xin exclaimed: "Could it be that these are the pearls of the night." ”

Li Yuanhao was struggling to lift the heavy body of the giant insect at the moment, trying to pull out the nameless sword he had left on it. When he heard An Xin's exclamation, he couldn't help but raise his head and asked in surprise, "What Night Pearl?" ”

An Xin pointed to the dim light on the ground, and said excitedly: "These lights are actually emitted by the Night Pearl, it seems that the owner who built this place should be a powerful person at that time." ”

In fact, according to historical records, as early as the prehistoric Yandi and Shennong, there have been overnight pearls, such as Shennong's king of stone balls, known as "night mines". In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as "Hanging Li" and "Weeping Thorns", they are priceless and comparable to the Bi. At that time, only the big officials Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li and the big businessmen of the Yidun Warring States Period could afford it.

Qin Shi Huang was buried in the night pearl, in the mausoleum "to replace the anointing candle". Empress Guangwu of the Han Dynasty's younger brother Guo Kuang "hung pearls and hung on all sides, looking at them like stars during the day and like the moon at night" to show off his wealth.

Wu Zetian gave Xuanzong the jade dragon in the night pearl, and Xuanzong returned to Zi Shizong a clear pearl and illuminated a room. When Tang had a car, a night pearl called "Water Droplet" sold for hundreds of millions. During the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the royal family especially liked the night pearl, among which Genghis Khan's night pearl was stolen in Taiwan, and the case was later solved and returned to the original owner.

However, Li Yuanhao also knows that in the jewelry wholesale market in Guangzhou, handicrafts known as "luminous bi" and "night pearl" abound, as high as 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan, and as low as a few hundred yuan each. In the Panyu jewelry market, the most expensive is the Ruyi Bi that evolved from the concept of "He's Bi", and the wholesale price is only a few thousand yuan.

Because in modern times, some scientists speculated that the night pearl is fluorite according to the characteristics of the night pearl can emit light at night, because among the gems that the ancient Chinese had the ability to mine, only fluorite has the characteristics of self-luminescence after absorbing sunlight. Fluorite has a high content in geological reserves and is not a precious gem resource.

In Li Yuanhao's eyes, this nameless sword, which is extremely sharp and has helped him get out of trouble countless times, is much more precious than those night pearls. He pulled it out with great difficulty, but it was covered with yellow liquid. He hesitated for a moment, simply took off his clothes, wiped the sword clean, and then carefully put it away.

After doing all this, he strode to An Xin's side. He saw that An Xin was still staring at a night pearl on the wall, so he said funny: "What are you waiting for?" Hurry up and get on it! We can finally leave. ”

An Xin said suspiciously: "How do you know that this step is the way out." ”

"That's still a question." Li Yuanhao habitually took An Xin's hand, raised his feet and went up the stairs. He explained as he walked: "No matter how powerful the people who built this place are, they will never build a road inlaid with pearls of the night for those prisoners to walk. Here, it should be left to his own path. Following this path, we should be able to get out soon. ”

"Well, that makes sense." An Xin happily followed him. To be continued. Derivation. Ink. High. Small. Say. Net』
