Chapter 451: Contact of the Fourth Kind
Jiang Chanji is a boy after all, and he has a certain immunity to these insects and other things, of course, he also feels that insects are disgusting after being magnified tens of thousands of times, but he is not so disgusted that he loses his judgment.
Before encountering this mysterious "passage" today, their confidants have always been Lilith, and the reason why they deliberately don't want to hurt No. 15 is because No. 15 didn't hurt them, and second, because they want to get No. 15's help to deal with Lilith.
Lilith's biggest headache is her super recovery ability, except for Qianyang's laser and Catherine's lightsaber, which will produce a high-temperature burning effect, other means have very limited damage to her, and the juice of this otherworldly firefly is so corrosive, maybe it can be used against Lilith, anyway, there will be no loss if you try.
Qianyang swore that she would never use this gardenia perfume again when she went back, because when she first saw the firefly, she thought its wings and body were very beautiful, and the details of the body were shrouded in strong fluorescence, so she couldn't see it clearly, and when it got closer, especially after the long black needle poked out of her chest, the ugly form was unbearable.
The fog in this depression does not disperse all year round, which also means that there is almost no wind inside the depression, and the fluorescent sap dissolves the firefly corpses and PVC sheets to produce a large amount of irritating gas, which is hoarded around for a long time and cannot be dispersed, choking everyone coughs again and again.
"The smell...... It can't be poisonous, right?" Spike tore a piece of cloth from her clothes and dipped it in water to cover her nose.
Jiang Chanji also coughed and said, "It should be slightly toxic, as long as you don't inhale it for too long, it should be fine......
The lungs have a physiological rejection of the irritating gases they inhale, which is manifested as coughing, which is a form of self-protection for the lungs and cannot be held back by patience.
"Step back into the house and keep an eye on it. The Sect Master said to Aurora: "You can narrow the range of your abilities a little, from a circle to a rectangle, and the two ends can accommodate the house and the 'passage' respectively, and I and No. 15 and No. 33 will take turns to stay outside and watch." ”
"Sect Master, you can also enter the house. Jiang Chanji persuaded.
"No, I can't. The sect master shook his head stubbornly, "If something comes out, run straight into the mist, and stay in the house too late to stop it." ”
"I'll come first. Number 15 said.
The ninja masks of No. 33, No. 15 and the suzeraint are exquisitely designed, with a built-in filter and adsorption interlayer, which can be supported in the toxic gas for a while if necessary, but ten minutes is the limit, after all, it is not a professional gas mask, and the three people take turns staring at the "passage" outside, and they can last for half an hour in total.
Jiang Chanji and the others had no choice, so they moved with Aurora, and they all retreated into the house where No. 15 and Zhao Man lived, and then soaked the cracks in the doors and windows with food packaging bags, sleeping bags, towels and other miscellaneous items, and the situation improved temporarily.
But there are many of them, the air in the house is limited, and when the oxygen content is too low, they can only go out, and the big living people can be choked to death, but they can't suffocate themselves.
"Sect Master, how long are we going to wait?, will this 'passage' disappear?" Jiang Chanji asked.
"I don't know, the duration of the 'channel' is a trend of getting longer and longer on the whole, but it is not good to be specific, the 'channel' that has appeared recently is the shortest one or two hours, and the longest is more than one day. The Sect Master replied.
Everyone looked at each other, from the beginning of the "passage" to reveal the outline to now, it would not be half an hour to be full, and according to the sect master, it would take half an hour for the most optimistic situation to disappear.
"How long is the air in the room enough to breathe?" asked.
Aurora looked at the structure of the room and estimated the volume of the room by its dimensions, but she quickly gave up the precise calculation, because there were too many variables involved, maybe Zixuan could calculate it if she was here, and her main energy must be left to maintain the existence of the fog-free zone, so she could only vaguely estimate: "A few hours should be fine." ”
Jiang Chanji regretted a little, "Maybe you shouldn't have killed that bug, who would have thought that there would be so much trouble when it died......"
"It's better than being knocked through the house and running out...... Don't worry, the 22nd has already escaped, she will definitely get in touch with the school as quickly as possible, and someone will come to support us soon. "Spike cheers everyone on.
Having said that, as long as no new monsters come out of the "passage" in the future, it will not be a problem for everyone to hold on to the teachers to support, but if new monsters appear and move out of the depression, will they sit idly by?
The sect master regards the "passage" as a great enemy, but other people besides her, including Jiang Chanji, they can stay and fight side by side for the admiring division commander and close friends, but they still don't pay enough attention to the "passage", with a certain fluke mentality, feeling that even if a monster escapes from the "passage", as long as the support arrives, it will not be too late to chase after it, and there is no need to risk throwing their lives here in order to block the monster at the door of the "passage".
Jiang Chanji could only guess that maybe what the sect master was really worried about was the intelligent creatures in the other world, if there were intelligent creatures in that world.
From the moment he saw the "channel", Squid Whisker had maintained a strong interest, and instead of lurking at the bottom of the lake as usual, he was cruising on the surface of the lake, and he was worried that it would suddenly point to the "channel" and asked him to go and take a look at the "channel".
After about ten minutes, the filter material in the No. 15 mask was exhausted, and the sect master originally planned to go out to replace her by himself, but No. 33 felt sorry for the sect master and rushed to go out for the sect master, even if it was to let the sect master rest for ten more minutes.
No. 33 and No. 15 swapped places.
Jiang Chanji secretly observed and found that everyone's breathing was short, and in this case, no one's mood was calm, urgency and apprehension were inevitable, but this would consume more oxygen.
Afraid of something, the squid whiskers suddenly poked out their wrists and feet from the lake and pointed to the "channel".
Did it really want him to get him into the "passage", or was there some new monster coming out?
Squid whiskers don't always warn, only when they don't notice the other party and the other party is peeping at him, like the firefly just now flew out of the "passage" in full view, it doesn't need to warn again.
Jiang Chanji pressed his face against the window and looked in the direction of the "passage", Aurora narrowed the range of his ability and extended the distance, and at this time, there was no fog in the middle zone of thirty or forty meters between the house they were in and the "passage".
He didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but the squid whiskers continued to warn.
"Number 33, I feel like something is wrong, do you see anything?" he asked Number 33, who stayed outside to observe, maybe she could see better without having to look through the glass.
"What do you mean?" asked Number 33.
"I don't know...... Can you get a little closer to the 'passage'?" he knew that this was a bit excessive, after all, the closer he was to the 'passage', the more likely it was to be attacked by a monster that suddenly rushed out, and the next monster might not fly as slowly as the firefly just now.
The others also approached the window, but no one saw anything out of the ordinary.
No. 33 drew two claw knives to protect herself and cautiously approached the "passage", her alertness had been raised to the limit, her eyes staring at the "passage" while quickly glancing left and right, guarding against the danger in the fog.
At a distance of thirty or forty meters, she quickly walked halfway, and then everyone saw that her back suddenly froze and did not continue to move forward.
Everyone's hearts were all tightened, and Jiang Chanji asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Uh......"
No. 33 stared ahead in disbelief, and next to the "passage", a string of footprints appeared!
But many pairs of eyes, including her, kept staring at the "passage", and didn't see anything coming out!
Aurora continued to turn the fog into snow and ice, and the ground around the "passage" was already covered with a thin layer of snow and ice, and a series of unusually large footprints were left on the ice and snow.
Because countless permanent magnets have been attracted and repelled by the "channel", rolling back and forth on the ground, it is almost over until now, everything that should be sucked in has been sucked in, and what should have been pushed away has been pushed away, and most of the remaining ones are stuck in the stone cracks and cannot be moved, even if there are footprints before, they cannot be retained.
Where is the owner of the footprints?
These messy footprints are only distributed within ten meters of the "passage", which means that it or they have not left, and either they are still near the "passage", or they have wandered around and returned......
But that still doesn't explain why they didn't see the owner of the footprints coming out of the "passage", unless......
No. 33 was excited, and the hairs on his whole body stood up.
She and the other ninjas were trained to sense other ninjas, and they sensed when other ninjas looked at them while invisible, and now she suddenly had a similar sense.
Then, her ears caught a slight whistling sound similar to a sharp blade breaking through the wind, and she hurriedly pulled away.
"Number 33!"
The others shouted in unison as they saw that Number 33's body was torn apart by a sharp blade, and several girls even screamed.
However, the scene of blood bursting from their imagination did not appear, and No. 33's "body" was torn apart and disappeared like a wisp of green smoke, and then No. 33's figure appeared two or three meters away, retreating towards the side of the house.
That's when they realized that it was the Phantom of 33 who was attacked, but the problem was that they didn't see what attacked 33 at all!
Bang!
The muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly sounded from the roof above them, as if something had fallen on the roof, and the dust that had accumulated on the ceiling for years was pouring down.
Bang bang bang –
Something strode around on the roof, and the PVC panels were trampled on.
Everyone stared at the ceiling in horror, and everyone's backs were cold.
"No. 15! Snap your fingers!" Jiang Chanji yelled at No. 15.
"It's useless! snapping your fingers won't work against unknown creatures!" 15 roared in response.
The reason why No. 15's snapping fingers have a miraculous effect on humans is that the audio energy of snapping fingers happens to resonate with the lymphatic fluid in the vestibule, thus interfering with the cilia of hair cells to perceive space and acceleration, but in the face of an unknown creature, unless this creature also has organs similar to vestibule, and No. 15 has mastered the appropriate resonance frequency, it is tantamount to slashing the officials of the previous dynasty with the sword of the previous dynasty, which is definitely invalid.
Whew!
A crackling sound sounded.
The roof PVC board is actually quite strong, with a thickness of 2 to 3 cm, and at this time, the roof was torn open by something, but everyone didn't see anything.
If Jiang Chanji had a bow and arrow in his hand, he would definitely shoot an arrow at the breach, but he didn't bring a bow and arrow with him today, considering that the bow and arrow were useless in the mist.
He didn't move, but someone did, and a long black shadow rose into the air like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, striking out of the breach.
Layla held the whip in her hand, the five or six meters long soft whip in her hand as straight as a spear, but unfortunately the indoor space was too narrow for her to swing the supersonic wind blade.
In a horrific scene, Layla swung her whip and didn't hit the enemy, and she was about to pull it back when something grabbed the tail of the whip.
Layla was so shocked that she pulled the whip back with all her strength, and the thing on the roof pulled out like a tug-of-war, and the strength was on par with Layla in a short time.
However, everyone didn't see anything, and Layla seemed to be struggling with the air......
No!
The ceiling height of the simple house was only about three meters, and at such a close distance, Jiang Chanji saw two pale yellow things in the air on the roof.
It's strange to use "piece" to describe it, but it's really two, like two pieces of contact lenses floating in the air, the color is very light, and it is translucent, and if it is not for the gray-white fog as the background, it is likely to be ignored.
"It's a transparent monster!" Aurora screamed, "that's its retina!"
Theoretically, it is impossible for a person or other large creature to be completely transparent, because even if the rest of the body is transparent, the retina cannot be transparent, otherwise the light will not be able to focus on the retina, if there is a certain creature that even the retina is transparent, then it must be a blind person, this principle applies everywhere, as long as there is light in the world is universal.
The ninja suit is not transparent, but through the reflection and refraction of light to achieve invisibility, the ninja suit wraps the whole body, but the front of the mask will leave a V-shaped gap, the gap is covered with special plexiglass, so that the ninja inside can observe the outside world through this V-shaped gap, otherwise if this gap is not left, it means that even the light on the mask will be reflected and refracted away, and the ninja wearing the ninja suit will also become blind.
What everyone sees is the fourth type of stealth state in addition to the transcendent ninja, Chen Yiyi, and Zhao Man.
