Chapter 44: The Centipede's Lair
This passage was not long, and after walking for a while, Chen Zhi's front suddenly lit up, and it suddenly became brighter.
What appeared in front of me was a hall like a column, with a diameter of about thirty zhang on the left and right, and a height of five or six zhang, and the surrounding bluestone walls were also inlaid with light blue crystals, and the floor of the entire hall was paved with a thin layer of fine sand, and the whole hall exuded a light blue light, which was emitted by the crystal.
At the other end of the hall, there were three almost identical openings, and it was unknown where the passage led.
After just glancing at the crystal, Chen Zhi saw that there were some unknown prohibitions hidden on it, which could not be taken down casually, and he did not rush to the past, but identified a hole in the middle and continued to walk forward.
"How does this place look like a labyrinth?"
At this time, Chen Zhi was in a huge passage, the passage was about ten zhang high, and the mountain walls on both sides were shining and flickering all over the unknown spars, Chen Zhi didn't know the name and purpose of this thing at all, but he still knocked down two pieces at random and put them into the treasure bag, but after arriving here, a black wind suddenly blew in the passage, constantly swirling around Chen Zhi's neighborhood, and from time to time there was a scream, which made people extremely uncomfortable to listen to.
Fortunately, these black winds do not cause substantial harm to people, but they can still give people some psychological pressure, and the sharp whistling sound makes people feel a little restless as soon as they enter the ears.
Three feet above Chen Zhi's head, a gray-white bead was suspended there, emitting a faint gray-white light curtain, as soon as these black winds approached this light curtain, they were isolated, and the piercing whistling sound was much quieter.
However, the black wind in front of him made Chen Zhi frown, and combined with the monster relief he saw at the beginning, he suddenly felt that this place was not a good place, and his actions became more and more cautious.
After walking for a while, those black winds gave birth to small insects with wings on their backs and black bodies, these small insects were only the size of soybeans, but they had fangs visible to the naked eye, and as soon as they appeared, they rushed towards Chen Zhi fiercely and abnormally.
Before these little insects could pounce on the light curtain, a dozen fireballs the size of walnuts flew in front of them.
After a few "poofs", these fireballs did not burst, but after a hovering on the way, they suddenly gathered together and turned into a fire snake, and as soon as the fire snake appeared, it shook its head and waged its tail to roll these black insects in.
The hot breath suddenly became louder, and a small sea of fire formed, and quickly spread, sweeping away the nearby black wind as well.
The black wind in the distance swept in again as if it was unconvinced, but after it touched the sea of fire, it still helplessly let out a burst of "snort" sounds, and then turned into invisible.
In this way, the surrounding black wind faded a little.
After Chen Zhi's eyes flashed blue, he took the opportunity to sweep into the distance, his expression moved, and his steps suddenly stopped, and the black wind not far away seemed to have become a little smaller, but there was something faintly inside.
With a thought in his mind, Chen Zhi released a spiritual sense, but after finding out the situation ahead, he gasped.
Sure enough, after walking a few steps, a huge ravine appeared in front of him, with a width of dozens of zhang, and in the ravine, there were huge centipedes that were the thickness of a baby's arm, dense, layered, and constantly wriggling, looking at the number of thousands, which made people feel a tingle on their scalp at a glance.
As soon as these centipedes sensed that someone was approaching, they immediately raised their heads vigilantly, and let out a strange cry of "Xi Xi Suosuo" from their mouths, and then climbed along the dirt slope and rushed towards Chen Zhi.
Although he was a little surprised, Chen Zhi still saw the appearance of these centipedes clearly with a flash of blue light in his eyes.
I saw that although these centipedes looked no different from ordinary centipedes, they had a pair of white antennae like jade on their heads, although Chen Zhi didn't know what the names of these centipedes were, but he also generally knew that most of these centipedes were not ordinary centipedes.
However, seeing these centipedes surging, Chen Zhi naturally wouldn't be polite, and with a flick of both hands, several fireballs flew out. The fireballs collided in the air, forming a long wall of fire, burning some of the centipedes that rushed up to ashes. The other centipedes that had escaped the catastrophe were startled, and immediately retreated like a tide, and the wall of fire immediately isolated these centipedes from Chen Zhi.
But Chen Zhi's move caused a sudden commotion in the centipede group, and many centipedes rose and fell, like chopping waves, they were cut from the middle by something, and then, under the centipede group, a foot as thick as an adult's arm sprung up
Giant centipedes are coming.
This centipede is very different from the centipedes I saw before, it is covered with black and shiny scale armor, as if it is covered with a layer of iron armor, and there is a pair of wings on its back, it seems that it has been hiding under the centipede group just now, and now as soon as it was alarmed, its body immediately shook violently, and other centipedes on its body fell one after another.
When Chen Zhi saw the appearance of this centipede, he gasped again, and couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Flying centipede?"
In the introduction of "Chaos Treasure Appreciation", this flying centipede is an ancient strange insect, the scales on its body are extremely hard, which can prevent ordinary flying sword cutting, and it has wings on its back, and it acts like the wind, and a pair of sharp fangs can bite and smash the general defensive magic weapon, not to mention the mortal body. It's really a must-have for home travel and sneak attacks.
Moreover, this flying centipede is as high as thirty-fifth in the ranking of the strange insect version, which is quite a high ranking.
Since he knew the characteristics of the actions of this flying centipede, Chen Zhi naturally would not turn around and run away, after all, in this environment of the black wind cover, he would not be able to outrun this flying centipede no matter what, because this flying centipede was not only physically strong, but also naturally good at wind escape techniques.
However, in the face of such a difficult ancient strange insect, Chen Zhi did not see a trace of panic on his face, but easily withdrew the spirit corpse bead on his head into the treasure bag, and the whole person also restrained his breath at once, and the aura on his body was restrained, and his breathing became as if it were nothing.
This sudden change made the flying centipede, which was about to pounce on it, as if it had lost its target, and as soon as it flapped its wings and flew into the air, it was clear that Chen Zhi was in front of it, but he stopped the downward trend and stopped in mid-air and looked around blankly.
Chen Zhi saw that the actions of this flying centipede were indeed as he expected, he only felt keenly for living creatures, but he lost his sense of self when he was completely restrained, and this mode of action was exactly the same as that described in the beast skin book.
While secretly congratulating himself on the fact that he had translated this text about the flying centipede early in the morning, Chen Zhi popped out his hands one after another, and several magic decisions shot out, knocking the flying centipede into the air and trembling.
It's just that these magic decisions can't do any substantial damage to this flying centipede at all, but after a few hits, this flying centipede was immediately angered by success, and after a strange cry came out of its mouth, it couldn't find the target to attack it, and in a fit of anger, it turned around and flew towards those centipedes in the ravine.
As soon as it broke into the centipede group, the flying centipede immediately flicked its tail and cut off several centipedes, and then opened its big mouth and swallowed one centipede in front of it, which raged in the centipede group.
And its trouble, it seemed to alarm something, after another commotion in the centipede group, three more flying centipedes poured out, and then it seemed to be affected by the flying centipede that appeared at the beginning, and it also slaughtered in the centipede group.
For a while, the ink was flying and the severed limbs were dancing.
"Sure enough, there is!" Chen Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was exactly what he expected. To know that the flying centipede is a social creature, usually there are one to two pairs to live together, and usually only one out of each period of time to move, people who don't know the way, think that there is only one flying centipede, carelessly, often at the same time by several pinch, it is very easy to give away life.
And those centipedes with long tentacles on their heads saw that these flying centipedes were almost crazy to slaughter their own kind, and when they could not avoid it, they also turned around one after another, and began to turn their heads viciously, and those who no longer escaped pounced on these flying centipedes.
But those centipedes with white tentacles on their heads are obviously not the opponents of the ancient strange insects such as the flying centipede, although they are not afraid of death, they are still defeated and retreat, and after a while, the centipede group retreats backwards.
And although those flying centipedes had the upper hand, the scales on their bodies were also bitten out of a few cuts, and they also looked quite damaged.
Chen Zhi saw that those flying centipedes were spitting white gas, looking badly injured and weak, so he released the life on his body with a full glow.
At this moment, the four flying centipedes finally seemed to have found some outlet, and at the same time turned their heads to look at Chen Zhi, and after a "buzzing" sound on their wings behind them, they turned into four cold lights, and shot beyond Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi was also startled when he saw that these flying centipedes were still so fierce after they were injured, but he still flicked his fingers preparedly, and then saw that these centipedes suddenly shrank their wings and fell from the sky.
The blue light flashed in Chen Zhi's eyes, but he saw that those flying centipedes were tightly tied by a thin silk thread that was crystal clear, and it was the crystal spider silk that Chen Zhi's crystal spider spit out.
But after Chen Zhilingjue swept away these flying centipedes, his brows furrowed slightly!
