Tomb Robber: Stop pretending, I am the Zhang family!

Chapter 283 Chapter 284: The Swamp Python

He stretched out his hand and pressed the mechanism, only to hear a click, the space suddenly opened a crack, and there was a stone house outside.

He jumped out and found that the exit was a secret passage on the floor, and the people behind him also came out together.

At this time, the system prompt sounded suddenly.

"Ding! A large number of elementary creatures, ghosts and barnacles have been detected, please proceed carefully!"

"Ding! An epic-level creature was detected, a swamp python with a strength value of 12. You can get achievement points if you kill it!"

Hearing the system prompt, Zhang Yunfeng quickly looked around. Fortunately, no monsters were found here, but the detection range of the combat radar was within one mile, so the monsters must be very close to them.

"Be careful, everyone, I don't think it's safe here!"

Zhang Yunfeng reminded everyone.

"What's the danger? What preparations are we going to make?" asked naively and vigilantly.

The blind man said: "The last time I passed by here, I met a big snake, which ate a very strange barnacle for a living, and those barnacles will attack all creatures that pass by them, we'd better avoid them. "

"You know the route, you will lead the team later." Wu Erbai said.

Everyone rested in the food for more than ten minutes, and when their physical strength recovered, they left here led by Heixiazi.

Coming outside is an empty swamp, with some plants and trees growing sparsely in the swamp.

Heixia led the team to go to places where the plants are sparse, because the more lush the plants, the easier it is to hide the crisis.

But even so, someone was tricked while walking.

A few Wu guys in the team screamed suddenly!

"Help, something is biting my leg!"

The man was pulled down to the ground by a force, with a painful expression on his face.

Everyone quickly stepped forward to help him up, and then lifted his leg to look, and saw a strange claw-like barnacle attached to his leg!

They had never seen this kind of barnacle before. There were fleshy spines on several tentacles, which pierced into the flesh at once, sucking his blood frantically. It was about the size of a fist.

"It's this kind of barnacles, everyone, be careful, they will suck the blood of animals, and there are a lot of them!" Hei Xiazi reminded.

Zhang Yunfeng stepped forward, stretched out his two fingers, grabbed the tentacles of the barnacle, and then pulled it out forcefully.

In just this short period of time, the barnacle has sucked a lot of blood, and the body flushed for a while, making it look even weirder!
And there were several blood holes on that guy's leg, and the blood was still oozing out, and he looked much weaker.

"These things are hidden in the mud of the swamp. Please tie your trousers tightly so that your skin does not appear!" Zhang Yunfeng said to the crowd.

When everyone heard this, they quickly raised their legs and tied their trouser legs tightly.

The doctors in the team just helped to deal with the wounded guy's injuries, sealed the blood hole on his leg with hemostatic glue, sprinkled some anti-inflammatory powder, and then wrapped it with a bandage.

These barnacles seem to be extremely sensitive to blood. After smelling the blood here, there was a sudden shaking in the mud, and it seemed that many things crawled towards them. The scene was very terrifying!
"No, these barnacles smell blood, let's get out of here quickly!" Heixiazi gestured to the crowd, and then ran forward immediately.

Everyone didn't dare to stay, so they hurriedly followed.

However, there were many blood-sucking barnacles hidden in the mud, and immediately several people in the team suffered, screaming in pain.

When everyone walked over to take a look, they found that there were more or less blood-sucking barnacles attached to their legs.

These barnacles suck blood very fast, one or two may be fatal, but if they are entangled by a dozen or more at once, they can suck up people in minutes!
Even if the trouser legs are tightly pricked, their powerful thorns can tear a hole out of the trousers in an instant.

Unless you're wearing those rain boots.

But it was in a hurry, and the team didn't have rain boots ready.

For a while, everyone was in a mess.

"Go, don't stay!" Heixia shouted to the crowd.

At this time, more and more barnacles crawled towards the crowd, and several people were immediately recruited!
Seeing this, Zhang Yunfeng had no choice but to pull out the Longyuan sword, cut his palm with one knife, squeezed out a ball of blood, and splashed it on the surrounding mud.

In the next second, there was a commotion under the mud, and those barnacles that smelled blood ran around as if they had seen a ghost, even those barnacles that were attached to everyone's bodies.

After a while, the barnacles around disappeared without a trace, and I don't know where they are hiding in the mud.

"At the critical moment, we have to look at the macho!" Fatty said.

"Blind man, I'll lead the team, you'll be at the back!" Zhang Yunfeng yelled at the blind man, and then walked towards the front of the team.

He has unicorn blood, wherever he walks, he will leave his bloody smell, and the surrounding barnacles will not dare to step forward, so it is appropriate for him to lead the team, the black blind man does not have this ability.

"No problem!" Hei Xiazi nodded, and then walked towards the rear of the team without any nonsense.

Soon Zhang Yunfeng came to the front of the team, and he led the crowd to continue walking, where the plants were relatively sparse.

Sure enough, after he led the team, everyone was never attacked by barnacles again, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Barnacles feed on the blood of animals, but they also have natural enemies. There is a large bog python that feeds on this kind of barnacles, because the meat of barnacles is very nutritious and abundant.

While everyone was walking, several swamp pythons as thick as buckets suddenly sprang out not far away.

These swamp pythons have evolved scales that are comparable to iron armor. The tentacles of the barnacles cannot pierce their scales, so they cannot suck their blood, and can only become their food.

I saw these giant pythons stuck their heads into the mud, raised their heads after a while, and already had several barnacles in their mouths.

"Crack clap..."

After chewing a few times, the shell of the barnacle was directly crushed by the giant python, and then swallowed the meat of the barnacle into his stomach, eating with relish.

After these giant pythons saw people, they didn't panic or attack, as if humans were far away from them, not as delicious as these little barnacles.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that a complete ecological chain has formed in this swamp. The barnacles suck the animals that pass by here, and the giant python eats these barnacles for a living, linking a link." Wu Erbai said.

Originally, Zhang Yunfeng was going to kill a few giant pythons to save achievement points, but in order not to damage the ecological chain here, he had to let these few swamp pythons go, so as not to damage the ecological chain here.

After all, these snakes do not attack people, and they can also control the flooding of barnacles, which have played a huge ecological role in this swamp. Their threat is far less than that of these barnacles.

After walking forward for more than half an hour, a large number of relics began to appear in front of them, houses, stone towers, statues, etc., which were close together, but unfortunately most of these had become ruins.

"This is the outskirts of Leicheng, and if you walk inside for a few hours, you will reach the palace!" Heixiazi said to everyone.

Everyone walked quickly to the vicinity of the ruins, and found that the ground here had become much firmer, and it was no longer a swamp of mud, and the feeling of being down-to-earth made people relax a lot.

"Looking at the weathering traces of these buildings, it must be at least a thousand years old. Where did the people in this city go? Did they all die? Or did they all escape?" Tian Zhen asked a lot of questions.

It's a pity that no one can answer his question. The secret of this ancient ruins can only be known by those who have experienced all this back then.

Just over an hour after they entered Leicheng, the Wang family and Boss Jiao's team also entered Leicheng.

They also sneaked around Yucun and came in from the edge. Boss Jiao's position and direction were obtained by listening to the thunder.

The two teams are only a dozen miles apart.

It's a pity that Wang's family still has Boss Jiao's subordinates, but there is no capable person like Zhang Yunfeng. When passing through the swamp, many people were recruited. The team turned into a mess, and everyone was frightened.

As a result, the original team of five and no. 60 people lost seven or eight people at once, and many people were injured.

The leader of the Wang family accidentally discovered the footprints left in the mud, and through the number of footprints and the direction, he judged the number of people in Zhang Yunfeng's team and where they were going.

"Someone is already ahead of us, let's be careful!"

Boss Jiao asked, "Why didn't they lose their troops, how did they get through here, and who were they?"

The leader of the Wang family frowned: "I don't know, it should be that there are capable people in their team, who can avoid the attack of the barnacles. We can follow behind them and see who they are!"

In fact, they had already guessed that the team in front was most likely the Wu family, but seeing is believing, and it was difficult to draw conclusions before seeing people.

…………

On the other side, Fatty and others went to search those buildings, but they were very disappointed, they didn't find anything of value at all, let alone gold and silver treasures.

"Don't waste your efforts. These buildings have been abandoned for at least a thousand years. Even if there are any gold and silver treasures inside, they must have been scoured by ancient explorers. How can it be our turn?" Tian Zhen said to the fat man.

"Damn, this is too cruel, don't leave anything to our descendants." The fat man cursed.

Then everyone walked along the ruins and went deep. Sure enough, as the blind man said, after passing through the outer area, city walls, moats, etc. began to appear inside.

Looking around, there is a huge city in front of you, which can accommodate at least 10 people, which shows how glorious this Leicheng was back then.

Everyone seemed a little surprised. They originally thought that Leicheng was just a small and remote country, but they didn't expect that the scale of the city would be so large, comparable to some big cities in the Central Plains.

"It seems that we still underestimated the national strength of these remote and small countries. Judging from this scale, the permanent army in such a city must have at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands!" Wu Erbai said.

"What are you afraid of? No matter how many troops he has, they are all dead. It's just an empty city!" The fat man said indifferently.

"Be careful sailing for ten thousand years. If you have the ability to build a city of this scale, your national power will definitely not be weak. After you enter the city for a while, don't touch anything, and don't act without authorization!" Zhang Yunfeng told everyone.

In such a large city, it is easiest to design mechanism traps and the like, so the team must be careful after entering for a while, once the mechanism trap is triggered, many people will be killed or injured.

"Did you hear that? After entering the city for a while, everyone is not allowed to act without authorization and obey the command of the team, otherwise you will be better off!" Wu Erbai coldly reprimanded the group of Wu guys.

Everyone nodded, not daring to have any opinions at all.

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Zhang Yunfeng, the team arrived at the gate of the city, and the heavy stone gate was tightly closed.

However, they found a few steel nails for rock climbing on the city wall, which were firmly nailed in the gaps and extended to the top of the city.

Everyone checked the pitons, and was surprised to find that these pitons were not very old, they were left around a year ago, and they were imported rock climbing pitons.

"Third Uncle probably left these. I remember that when the team went to Qixing Lu Palace, they used this kind of rock nails, right?" Tian Zhen said to everyone.

Zhang Yunfeng nodded: "That's right, it's this kind. It seems that your third uncle should have left it behind. He should have used these pitons to climb up the city wall directly. We will go up from here too!"

"Isn't there a door here? Why don't you just go in through the door?" The fat man asked puzzled.

"This gate is too heavy, and it's the gate of the city. There may be many traps hidden in it. Let's stop doing such thankless things!" Tian Zhen explained.

"So that's how it is... Wu Sansheng, the old fox, is quite thoughtful." The fat man muttered to himself.

Zhang Yunfeng visually measured the height of the city wall, and it was only about 4 meters. He directly performed lightness kung fu, jumped up on the spot, and jumped directly onto the top of the city wall.

Then stand on the top of the city and look around. Here you can see the outline of the entire city. The city is divided into several areas, namely the outer, inner, and imperial palaces.

Most of the periphery are houses, streets and so on.

The inner circle is surrounded by some tall buildings, such as temples, school grounds, and further inside is the magnificent palace.

The entire city is lifeless, not even a bird in the air, and I don't know why the people who lived here abandoned it?

The rest followed the rock nails, climbed up to the top of the city one by one, and looked around, amazed.

Zhang Yunfeng walked around the top of the city, and found a line of small characters suddenly engraved on one of the bricks, the handwriting was a bit scribbled, and it wasn't long before he saw the traces.

[I have entered Leicheng, and I will go to find the thunder listening device in the palace next, don't hang up, don't read, don't follow! 】
