Chapter 90: Danger Born in Darkness 1
When passing by the two corpses, Xiao Lan took a closer look at the two corpses that fell beside the stairs, she always felt that something seemed to be surging under the skin of those corpses, so she led the three of them to speed up. As a result, nothing suddenly attacked from behind them as Xiao Lan thought, and they passed the location of the two corpses without danger.
But just after Xiao Lan and the others walked out of a long distance, they just breathed a sigh of relief, and a few more piercing screams came from the location of the corpse just now. Xiao Lan vaguely saw in the darkness that some strange insects flew out from the direction of the corpse just now, attacking the people who were hanging behind Xiao Lan not far away just now, and now they had reached the location of the two corpses
"Let's go!" The bugs didn't attack them just now, and it was most likely the effect of the pill they had taken before they came in. Regardless of whether those who fell one after another died or not, in order to prevent those insects from following, Xiao Lan directly took Xiaowei and the Zhang brothers to continue running down the stairs
The further down you go, the more slippery the stairs become, as the stairs below are covered with moss. But it is also clear from the tread marks in the moss on the stairs that someone had just walked here not long ago.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak", "squeak, squeak, squeak", "squeak, squeak, squeak"
"Listen, what's this sound?" Seeing that he was about to descend the stairs to the straight ground, Xiao Lan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and listened to the strange "squeak" sound that suddenly appeared. He said suspiciously.
At first they heard a small sound, but then they noticed that it was getting louder and louder, as if something was approaching them.
Zhang Kui suddenly became agitated and said loudly: "This should be the sound of bats! It's so messy, it may be a swarm of bats! Everyone hurry up and take precautions!"
The people who woke up hurriedly released the spiritual power in their bodies and wrapped it in a layer as a defense, Xiao Lan released the spiritual power and covered Xiao Wei who didn't know spiritual power by the way, and then stuffed the torch in his hand into Xiao Wei's hand, because bats are afraid of fire. After a while, a group of black pressed things appeared in front of Xiao Lan's eyes, and their blood-red eyes stared gloomily at Xiao Lan and them. It's like staring at a big meal. Look at the dense bat that takes them as prey. Xiao Lan's scalps were numb
"Ho!" Xiao Lan, who was already on guard, suddenly shouted, and the "Red Phosphorus" sword emitted a bright light all over his body, and then a hot air stream with flames spewed towards those bats in the air who didn't know what to do.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak"
With the wild scream of the bats, half of the bats were instantly scorched. One after another, they fell down. But just when Xiao Lan and the others just wanted to be triumphant. The seemingly endless passage "squeaked, squeaked, squeaked" and a large number of black and oppressed bats poured in. The number of bats in the two batches combined. That's half the number before.
Just when Xiao Lan wanted to make another move "Red Phosphorus Sword Light", Zhang Kui grabbed Xiao Lan and said, "Little brother Lan Xiao." Put out the torch first. ”
Although Xiao Lan was puzzled, she still extinguished the torch in Xiao Wei's hand.
Just when the fire was just extinguished, Zhang Kui continued: "Let's take back the spiritual power again." ”
"Big brother, what are you doing, take back the spiritual power, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist their collective attack!" Zhang Hao hurriedly objected.
Xiao Lan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take back the spiritual power." They are afraid of light. When you see something bright, you think we're provoking them. As for the attack, there are quite a few people not far behind us. It's a big deal, let's just squat down first. ”
"Oh. Seeing that Xiao Lan actually agreed with his eldest brother's idea, and said it right. Zhang Hao no longer refuted. All three of them retracted their spiritual powers, squatted on the ground, nervously clenched the weapons in their hands, and watched the bats in mid-air with their blood-red eyes. Those bats didn't fly away immediately, they still stayed in mid-air, staring closely at Xiao Lan and them, who had no malice on the surface.
"Ahh
The swarm of bats, stimulated by the screams and noises above, raised their eyes and stared at Xiao Lan, and then left Xiao Lan and flew above their heads
After the bat swarm left, Xiao Lan took out the remaining vampire bats with a sword. In the endless darkness, he groped his way down the remaining steps, and turned to the smooth path on the right that he had seen when the torches had been lit. After leaving the line of sight of the bats above who were fighting, Xiao Lan and the others took out the fire fold again and lit the torch. The path in front of me looked very straight, there was no clutter on the path, there were only two neatly cut stone walls around, and under the light of the torches that were not very bright, it looked very gloomy, as if there was no end, like a road to the underworld. They walked cautiously forward, not deterred by the straight road in front of them.
"Ahead! Get out of the way of Uncle Ben!"
After a while, just as Xiao Lan and the others were still slowly advancing, an extremely rude scolding suddenly came from behind them. Following the sound and looking back, Xiao Lan saw five high-level spirit kings who had also been following them just now. Looking at their hurried appearance, after thinking about it, Xiao Lan pulled Xiao Wei and the Zhang brothers to the side, and gave them most of the aisles.
"Hmph!" the five snorted disdainfully as they passed by Xiao Lan and them, and then hurriedly floated over. Xiao Lan found that there were no traces left by the battle with the bats on their bodies, so he knew that there should be someone else who fought the bats head-on. It seems that there are quite a few people hanging behind them
Xiao Lan and the four of them saw that the five people actually ran in front of them and glanced at each other. They all smiled calmly, and there was a hint of treachery in that smile. Someone was willing to go to the front for them to find the way, and finally they didn't have to walk so carefully. Thinking about it, the four of them also quickened their pace and hung up far away.
This path was really very straight, even if Xiao Lan and the others hung far behind the group of people in front, they could clearly see the dark figures of the five people by relying on the faint light of the torches. The two of them walked one after the other on this gloomy path, because this was a mausoleum made underground that did not see sunlight all day long, and everything in it was still stone except for stones, so in addition to the gloomy atmosphere, from time to time there was a gust of cold wind blowing towards them from the front of the path. I always felt that the wind was a little different from the wind of nature. But I really can't figure out what's wrong.
"Ahh
Just as Xiao Lan and the others quickened their pace but kept a distance behind the five people in front, a terrible scream suddenly came from the front. Hearing the sound, Xiao Lan looked up and found that the person in front of him had stopped.
"Little brother. Shall we go up and see what is going on?" Zhang Kui looked at the person who stopped in front of him. Asked Xiao Landao.
Xiao Lan just lowered her head and pretended to be pensive. did not immediately reply to Zhang Kui's words. In fact, he was competing with Long Tian in his mind: "You actually told me to go back? How is it possible? I finally came here, how can I go back without any effort?"
"Girl, listen to me! I told you to go back for our own good! How can you not think about your nowhere to be found and go inside? Really! I've seen this kind of cemetery pattern in books before, and this is a pattern designed to breed more poisonous beasts to guard the graves of the dead! Keep going, and you're all very likely to die!"
"I" Just when Xiao Lan just wanted to refute Long Tian, Xiao Wei, who was standing beside her, suddenly pulled her sleeve hard, Xiao Lan came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Wei suspiciously.
Xiao Lan found that Xiao Wei's face was full of fear, only to see him tremblingly stretch out a finger and point to the front, and said to Xiao Lan in a trembling voice: "Boss, you, look, one, two, three, four, they, they are missing one person"
At this time, Xiao Lan and the Zhang brothers found out that there were originally five people in front, but now there are only four people left
"Little brother, we, should we go up and see what happened?" Zhang Hao, who was walking behind the most man, stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Lan's sleeve, and asked tremblingly.
"What do you think, or, go back and leave this hellish cemetery?" Xiao Lan couldn't help but put forward Long Tian's suggestion just now.
Zhang Kui shook his head gently, then turned to look at his younger brother Zhang Hao and said seriously: "Brother, why don't you go back and leave here and wait for me outside?" According to the current pattern, this cemetery must be very large, and along the way, none of us will know what strange things will be encountered in the road. I think it's all just the periphery, and it's going to be even more sinister inside, or else, you."
"No, brother, I will always follow you! If you want to go on, I will go with you! I will not leave alone!" Zhang Kui's words were not finished before Zhang Hao interrupted him.
Xiao Lan lowered her head and pondered seriously for a while, and after thinking about it, she still planned to continue walking. Because she always felt as if something was beckoning her to go inside.
Ignoring Long Tian's persuasion in his mind, Xiao Lan raised his head and asked Xiao Wei, "Xiao Wei, I want to keep going." Are you afraid? If you are, I can send you out of the city first. ”
Xiao Wei shook his head, reached out and grabbed Xiao Lan's sleeve and said affirmatively, "Boss, I'll follow you." I'm not afraid!Xiaowei is a man!", he said, reaching out and patting his chest.
Xiao Lan smiled slightly, and said to the three of them, "Then the four of us will continue to walk forward together! Let's go up and see what is going on in front of us." ”
"Hmm. Then the four of them quickened their pace and ran towards the four who had stopped in front of them. (To be continued......)
