Chapter 102 The six-winged centipede in the underground palace
After dealing with the scorpion girl, Ding Xiu quickly returned to the place where he had fought before, cut open the big scorpion and searched for it for a while, feeling slightly disappointed.

This guy's Taoism is really far behind, and he has not yet developed the inner elixir.

After this battle, Ding Xiu became more mysterious in the eyes of everyone, but his strength also gave everyone more confidence in this Pingshan underground palace treasure hunt.

At noon the next day, we finally arrived at the foot of Pingshan Mountain.

The Pingshan Mountain was so close that it seemed almost within reach, but beneath everyone's feet was a huge rift valley about ten feet wide, with so much mist that it was impossible to see the bottom.

As soon as you poke your head for a moment, you can feel a cold air coming from the bottom of the valley, which makes your heart feel chilly.

Chen Yulou raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, and then ordered to Huamaguai: "Kuai, fire a shot."

"Yes!"

Huamaguai fired a shot at the bottom of the rift valley.

"Fire a few more shots."

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of gunfire echoed in the valley floor and echoed in the sky.

Chen Yulou closed his eyes slightly and listened carefully.

This is the "Wen" technique he has practiced since he was a child. He listens to the wind, listens to thunder, and listens to the method of identifying dragons in the mountain. Through the subtle changes in the echo coming from the valley bottom, he can roughly hear that there seem to be several tunnels in the valley below, and the three underground palaces. contour.

Among them, the largest underground palace is under the Great Rift Valley at your feet.

At this time, Ding Xiu subconsciously glanced towards the top of the mountain.

Although after he came to this world, there were subtle changes in the plot. For example, Luo Laowai died early... This is also a good thing. This guy is a reckless man and acts impulsively. He can be said to succeed more than he fails.

It's just right without him.

However, what the plot changes is only the fate of the characters, and the inherent objects such as the landforms and underground palaces should not change much.

According to the original plot, the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty general is not actually in the underground palace, but is located on the top of Pingshan Mountain.

The deceased pays attention to being buried in peace, but that guy is not from the Central Plains, has different customs, and different ideas. He also wants to dismember his body and become an immortal. He should be buried on the top of the mountain closer to the sky so that he can ascend to heaven faster.

However, Ding Xiu didn't plan to tell it now.

The corpse king was buried with abundant gifts, but what use were those things to him?

Everything he needs is in the underground palace, such as elixirs, alchemy materials, ancient books, etc.

Moreover, even if you want to go to the top of the mountain, you must go up through the passage of the underground palace, otherwise it will be useless even if you climb to the top of the mountain. There is no passage on the top of the mountain leading to the main tomb chamber.

After everything was ready, the group of people used their magical powers to go down the rift valley.

Xieling disciples use a special centipede ladder. The main body is a tough bamboo, with iron frames fixed one by one for stepping on it.

The design of this ladder is quite exquisite. It can be taken apart individually or combined to form a long ladder. It is very useful whether it is going down to the underground palace or climbing the cliff.

From a distance, it looks like a long centipede, hence the name Centipede Ladder.

Because the three brothers and sisters of Partridge Sentinel have a small number of people and have been traveling around for many years, it is obvious that they cannot carry too many things.

Therefore, what they use to climb the cliff is a specially made sky-drilling rope, which is extremely strong.

After someone went down to the bottom of the valley, the people who stayed above sent the hundreds of angry chickens down in batches in hanging baskets.

Chen Yulou is indeed unique. By listening to the wind, listening to thunder, and hearing the mountain to identify the dragon, the place he directed to go down to the valley was right near the entrance to the underground palace.

There is a main hall in the underground palace built outside the mountain. However, due to the passage of time, the roof has almost collapsed. Standing outside, you can faintly see some ancient chariots, shields, spears and other weapons placed in the hall.

During this trip, Chen Yulou specially brought some miner's lamps for lighting.

Although he can see at night, many of his subordinates do not have this ability. It is much more convenient to have a miner's lamp.

The group did not rush into the hall rashly, but first released dozens of roosters into the hall to find out.

At the same time, the detoxifying medicine prepared earlier also came in handy. Each of them sprinkled some powder on their clothes and took a pill internally to resist the cold poisonous gas in the underground palace.

The roosters were originally a little listless due to the dim light, but as soon as they entered the palace, each one became extremely excited, flapping their wings and crowing loudly.

Upon seeing this situation, Chen Yulou couldn't help but said: "It is indeed poisonous."

Roosters are born to be the nemesis of poisonous insects such as centipedes and scorpions. Centipedes, which people avoid, are a rare delicacy in the eyes of roosters.

The Partridge Whistle couldn't help but frown: "Great, let's put dozens more in."

As soon as these dozens of roosters were put into the hall, the place became more lively, and the crows could be heard one after another.

In this way, the tense atmosphere relaxed a lot. Chen Yulou took the lead and raised his hand: "Let's go in and take a look!"

A group of people filed in.

After entering, I discovered that the hall was much larger than it looked from the outside. Only a small part was built outside, and the main space of the hall was located in the middle of the mountain.

There are many chariots, weapons, and stone sculptures piled in the hall, which at first glance belong to the Yuan army.

In this way, Chen Yulou became more sure that the rumors were true, and the general of the Yuan Dynasty was indeed buried in this Pingshan Mountain.

"Susususu..."

Suddenly, there was a burst of intense movement in the palace, like a steady drizzle.

"Centipedes, so many centipedes!"

A Xieling disciple standing on the far right couldn't help but screamed, his voice changing into a tone of fear.

Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, the group finally discovered that a large group of centipedes had emerged from the corners, pillars, and ground at some unknown time.

These centipedes are obviously different from the centipedes outside. Not only are they large in size, but they are also brightly colored, and most of them have colorful backs.

Ordinary centipedes are usually brown or maroon, and I have never heard of colorful centipedes.

Chen Yulou immediately shouted: "Everyone, be careful, these centipedes have probably mutated... Kidnappers, hurry up and let in dozens more chickens."

"Yes, keep your head up!"

Huamaguai immediately ran out of the hall.

At this time, the hundreds of roosters that had entered the hall were like fighting cocks, flapping their wings and rushing towards the centipedes crawling around in the hall.

It is indeed one thing.

These centipedes look big and venomous, but due to their nature, they still get scared and crawl around when they hear the crowing of roosters, creating chaos.

In the blink of an eye, many centipedes became delicacies in the mouths of the roosters.

But after a while, more centipedes crawled out, seemingly unwilling to be slaughtered unilaterally, and started to fight back.

It is difficult for ordinary centipedes to hurt a rooster because the rooster is covered with thick feathers. Although the chicken feet are exposed, they are protected by tough cuticles and thick scales.

A heavy step of the paw can crush the centipede to pieces.

However, the combat effectiveness of these centipedes is far more powerful than ordinary centipedes.They were a little confused at first due to their nature, but the smell of the blood of their companions aroused their ferocity.

The centipedes initially fought back, and even a dozen roosters were injured.

The poisonous limbs of these centipedes are so hard and sharp that they actually pierced the scales of the rooster's feet.Some do.Climb onto the rooster and penetrate the thick feathers.

Although roosters are somewhat immune to toxins such as centipedes, the poison of these centipedes is so shocking that the stung roosters begin to melt as if they were made of wax.

Soon, it turned into a puddle of water, leaving not even the feathers behind.

Chen Yulou was shocked and shouted: "Quick, everyone retreat to the door and put all the chickens in."

Hong Gu ran to Ding Xiu and asked urgently: "Why don't you anger Qing Ji?"

Ding Xiu shook his head: "It's not time yet, these are just small centipedes. If there are small ones, there must be big ones. The Angry Chicken cannot be released too early."

Hearing this, Partridge Whistle also agreed: "The current situation is still under control, there is no need to reveal your trump card too early."

Sure enough, after all the roosters were put into the hall, the situation suddenly changed.

Although there were tens of thousands of mutated centipedes, the power of four to five hundred roosters could not be overshadowed, especially when the crows resounded through the hall, once again causing chaos among the centipedes.

Centipedes, including some hidden in the beams, cracks in the floor, and walls, also fell to the ground one after another, layer upon layer, almost losing their combat effectiveness.

However, there were still some cunning centipedes that avoided the roosters and crawled towards the group of people.

Ding Xiu slapped several of them to death with one empty palm, and shouted at the same time: "Quick, light a few more torches, centipedes are afraid of fire."

"Yes, yes, hurry up and light the torch."

After the torches were lit, the Xieling disciples holding torches spread out and stood around. When they saw any centipedes that had slipped through the net crawling over, they used torches to drive them away.

Two disciples wanted to step on them with their feet, but fortunately Ding Xiu stopped them in time.

"Don't step on it, or you may get splashed with poisonous blood."

When he said this, the two disciples were so frightened that they quickly retracted their feet.

For about a quarter of an hour, the movement in the hall became smaller and smaller, and there were fewer and fewer centipedes. Some escaped, some were swallowed by the rooster, and some were trampled to pieces in the melee.

Chen Yulou looked delighted and couldn't help but said: "This method is indeed effective. Without these chickens, we would not be able to move forward."

After a while, there was no longer a living centipede in the hall, but many of the roosters died, probably more than a hundred, and without exception they all turned into a puddle of water.

Next, a group of people continued to explore the underground palace along the passage on the west side of the hall.

There were many traps along the way. Fortunately, Hong Gu, Chen Yulou, Partridge Shao and others were familiar with the traps in the ancient tomb, so there was no danger.

Occasionally, a small group of centipedes appears, but it can't stop the accompanying large group of roosters from scrambling to peck at them.

After walking zigzag for about a cup of tea, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of us.

Ding Xiu quickened his pace and walked to the entrance of the passage to take a look. He couldn't help but look surprised and shocked.

Unexpectedly, he came to the underground palace hall so smoothly?
"Oh my God, is this the Heavenly Palace?"

What appeared in front of everyone's eyes turned out to be a huge space in the belly of the mountain.

There are many tall pillars, lampstands, palaces, Taoist temples... There is also a row of ascending steps in the distance. Above the steps is a tall stone archway, with two big characters faintly visible: Tianmen!
On the lampstand, almost all the lamps are on. They are the legendary ever-burning lamps, which are said to be immortal for thousands of years.

It may be an exaggeration to say 1 years, but a thousand years should be no problem. After all, hundreds of years have passed in this underground palace, and these lights are still the same, as if they were lit not long ago.

Chen Yulou, Hong Gu, and Partridge Shao were quite knowledgeable and didn't make a fuss.

But those Xiling disciples, Hua Ling, and the old foreigner all looked a bit incredulous, and ran to look at the lanterns one by one.

There is still a lot of lamp oil in the lamp, but this lamp oil is different from ordinary lamp oil. It looks very sticky, and it also exudes a strange smell.

At this time, Chen Yulou couldn't help but explain: "These lamp oils are the legendary shark oil. It is said that a drop of shark oil can burn for a thousand years..."

The sharks have always appeared in ancient myths and legends. They are a race with fish tails and human bodies. Some people say they are the earliest ancestors of mankind.

Among the people, the shark has a more familiar name: mermaid!
"Sou Shen Ji" contains: There are sharks outside the South China Sea, they live in the water like fish, they do not waste their weaving performance, and their eyes can produce pearls when they weep.

The main idea of ​​the sentence is that the sharks are good at weaving, and can make dragon yarn that is not wetted by water, and can turn tears into beads.

The poem "The moon in the sea has tears" refers to the legend of the shark's tears.Among the people, the most talked-about thing is the ever-burning lamp that is rumored to be fueled by shark oil in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and will last for thousands of years.

It seemed that Yuan Ren had already ransacked this place, and the place was in a mess.

However, hundreds of years later, some things they did not like back then have now become valuable antiques.

The value of these lamp oils, lamp oil, and the gems inlaid on the pillars is unknown.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Ding Xiu. His goal is not a toy.

Now that we have found this square, we think it is not far from the core area, where the alchemy is made.

Searching for elixirs, medicines, and ancient books on alchemy were the biggest purpose of Ding Xiu's trip.

After walking around in a circle, Chen Yulou couldn't help but feel happy. The things here alone made the trip worthwhile.

"Go, continue to explore!"

With a loud shout, everyone's morale was high, they stepped onto the "Ladder to Heaven", passed through the "Tianmen", and passed through a passage about a hundred feet long.

The scene in front of me changed, and it opened my eyes again.

In front of you is a huge square, surrounded by many wing rooms and main halls, connected with the rocks. It can be said that there are caves in the temple, and there are temples in the caves.

The square is paved with bluestones, and almost every piece of bluestone has reliefs and is even inlaid with some precious gems.

On the east side of the square, there is a ditch about three feet wide and bottomless. There are several stone bridges on the ditch, and the railings are all carefully carved from white marble.

Ding Xiu seemed to feel something, and hurriedly walked outside the main hall to take a look. Almost everything inside had been emptied, but there were many murals on the walls, almost all of which were related to alchemy.

It seems that this is where the alchemists gather and live on weekdays.

"Oh……"

Suddenly, the Angry Chicken, which had been silent all this time, crowed.

Then, he opened the lid of the bamboo basket and flew out.

As soon as he heard the sound of Angry Rooster, Ding Xiu immediately flew back and shouted at the same time: "If there is an emergency, everyone should retreat to the middle of the square."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge centipede suddenly crawled out of a side hall located on the right rear side of the group.

"hiss……"

Although the group had already guessed, they suddenly saw a large centipede more than one foot long crawling out with three pairs of almost transparent small wings on its back. They couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts and their scalps were numb.

This is the legendary six-winged flying centipede.

Of course, the word "flying" is not accurate. Although this guy has three pairs of wings, the wings are very small and cannot support its huge body for flight.

Compared to the two scorpion spirits, this centipede spirit is even more frightening. Just looking at the densely packed centipede feet makes people get goosebumps all over their bodies.

This time, the roosters didn't dare to get up, and they all formed a nest.

Although all things are mutually reinforcing and interfering, they also depend on the situation. For example, when water overcomes fire, it also depends on the amount. If you pour a small bottle into the campfire, let alone extinguish the fire, it may evaporate in an instant.

In the same way, this centipede spirit is too big. Even if these roosters rush forward without fear of death, they may be crushed into a puddle of flesh in the blink of an eye.

However, the angry chicken is not afraid.

It is a spiritual bird, a phoenix species left behind in the human world. How can it shrink back in the face of natural enemies?
"Wow~"

The Angry Chicken flapped its wings and flew into the air, letting out a long phoenix cry.

"Sigh~"

Not to be outdone, the six-winged centipede also opened its mouth and let out a sharp neigh.

Folks generally like to say that they are bitten by a centipede. To be precise, it is a sting. The centipede's head has a pair of jaws and feet, also called palatine teeth, claws or poisonous limbs. It uses its sharp poisonous limbs to attack the target.

However, in addition to its venomous limbs like steel knives, the six-winged centipede also has a bloody mouth. When it opens its mouth and screams, the mouth full of venomous fangs is frightening.

The Angry Chicken did not attack rashly, but circled around the six-winged centipede at low altitude, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Although its size is twice as big as that of an ordinary rooster, it is still small in front of the six-winged centipede. However, the six-winged centipede does not dare to look down upon it.

After all, it is also smart and knows that its opponent is extraordinary, so it naturally does not dare to take it lightly.

Just as a chicken and an insect were confronting each other, Ding Xiu took out his dagger and took a few steps closer to the six-winged centipede. He was also looking for an opportunity to attack.

"Ding Xiu, be careful!"

"careful!"

Hong Gu and Hua Ling were the most considerate, and they warned her almost at the same time.

Ding Xiu turned his head and smiled and said: "It's okay, don't worry! You guys should stay away from each other for a while, and everyone should disperse. Don't get together."

Chen Yulou held the Little God Peak in his hand and nodded solemnly.

Although he was always conceited, how could he dare to be brave in the face of such a huge centipede spirit?He could only stay aside with Partridge Whistle and others to look for opportunities to assist.

"Sigh~"

Finally, the six-winged centipede roared and began to attack.

In fact, this was the Nuqing Chicken deliberately luring the enemy, flying closer on purpose, and the tips of its wings were almost touching the tentacles of the six-winged centipede.

This is to lure the enemy, but it is also a provocation!
Sure enough, the six-winged centipede was angry.If it were outside, it would never take the initiative to attack. At worst, it would just retreat quietly. There is no need to risk injury in a fight with natural enemies.

But this is its home base, and in order to protect its home, it has to fight with all its strength.

What's more, its descendants suffered heavy casualties, which completely triggered its anger.

"call!"

The tail of the six-winged centipede suddenly raised high and swept toward the Angry Chicken like a dragon wagging its tail.

"General, be careful!"

The speed was so fast that Ding Xiu was also surprised and subconsciously shouted at Nu Qingji.

However, the Nuqing Chicken is not a mindless provocation. It used to follow the old medicine farmer into the mountains. Almost every time it went into the mountains, it would find a few beasts to "spar" with each other, and accumulated a lot of combat experience.

After that, it was specially trained by Ding Xiu for several days, and it also absorbed some principles of combining hardness and softness. It was able to relax in a controlled manner and advance and retreat in an orderly manner, fully demonstrating its extraordinary talent.

Although the six-winged centipede was very fast, the Angry Chicken was faster and had already flapped its wings and soared into the air.

This is also one of its great advantages.

The Six-winged Centipede can only attack on the ground, while the Angry Chicken can both attack on the ground and have an advantage in the air, which somewhat makes up for the huge gap in size between the two sides.

After taking off, the Angry Chicken quickly circled in the air several times, causing the six-winged centipede to follow suit.

But its body was huge and not so flexible when turning. The Angry Chicken seemed to have finally found an opportunity. It closed its wings and rushed down like lightning.

"Sigh~"

The six-winged centipede immediately raised half of its body, using its size to knock the Angry Chicken away.

Unexpectedly, the Nuqing Chicken actually knew how to feint attack. Just when the six-winged centipede was about to hit its body, it suddenly passed by the six-winged centipede's body at an incredible angle.

"boom!"

However, the six-winged centipede could not hold back its momentum and hit the ground hard, creating a radial crack in the hard bluestone ground.

It was at this time that the Angry Chicken suddenly swooped down and grabbed the six-winged centipede's back with its claws, forcefully tearing off a piece of its scales. The pain caused the six-winged centipede to jump up suddenly and mouth. He also let out an angry neigh.

"There is a play!"

Seeing this, Ding Xiu couldn't help but feel happy.

The reason why the six-winged centipede is difficult to deal with is firstly because of its huge size, secondly because of its poisonous mist, and thirdly because its scales are extremely hard and can block bullets.

Now that one of its scales has been lost, it does little harm to the six-winged centipede, just a little bit of skin trauma.

But this gave him, Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner a chance.

One of them is a sharpshooter and the other is a sharp archer. Once they find an opportunity and aim at the area without scales, they will naturally be able to break the six-winged centipede's defense.

Of course, Ding Xiu didn't necessarily rely on the Partridge Whistle and the two people. He already knew it by using the Angry Chicken and the Six-winged Centipede.

Even if the Angry Chicken can't defeat the six-winged centipede, as long as he can entangle it so that the six-winged centipede has no time to distract, then he can find an opportunity to take action.

After a while, the opportunity finally came.

The six-winged centipede saw the Angry Chicken flying into the air and circling from time to time, but it had wings and couldn't fly. In a rage, it simply gave up on the Angry Chicken and rushed towards Ding Xiu, who was closest to it.

Ding Xiu was well prepared and immediately jumped up high. The tail of the six-winged centipede suddenly flicked, causing his whole body to jump into the air.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and sprayed out a cloud of poisonous mist.

"Brother Ding..."

The Partridge Whistle couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and rushed over at full speed, raising his hand and firing several shots at the same time.

However, he underestimated Ding Xiu's ability.

When the six-winged centipede opened its mouth and sprayed poison, Ding Xiu immediately clapped his palm, which not only dispersed the poisonous mist, but also used the force of his palm's backflow to rise into the air again and float to the side.

At this time, the angry chicken flew with lightning.

The six-winged centipede didn't have time to react. The Angry Chicken had already passed by diagonally. It grabbed hard with its sharp claws and immediately grabbed a large piece of flesh from the lower jaw of the six-winged centipede.

At this time, the six-winged centipede felt uncomfortable, and fell heavily in pain. Its screams shook the eardrums, and its tail kept flapping left and right, causing the gravel to be scattered randomly and the smoke to fill the air.

"Not good, run away!"

Seeing gravel flying towards him, Chen Yulou quickly raised his hands to protect his head and retreated hastily.

The Nu Qing Chicken turned back and flew over the six-winged centipede again. The six-winged centipede suddenly jumped up, opened its mouth and sucked it in, trying to suck the Nu Qing Chicken into its mouth with strong suction.

This guy unknowingly revealed his relatively soft abdomen. Ding Xiu didn't think much about it, his anger surged, and he slapped it with all his strength.

Although this palm did not use any moves, the pure energy formed a faint palm shadow with a faint golden light, and hit the six-winged centipede hard in the middle of the abdomen.

"boom!"

There was a roar, like a boulder falling to the ground, and the huge body of the six-winged centipede was hit on the spot and moved back a few feet. Then the body bent and opened its mouth to spit out a large ball of filth.

When these filthy things fell to the ground, bursts of black smoke evaporated, showing how toxic they were.

Make it sick while it is sick.

The Angry Chicken swooped down like lightning and scratched the top of the six-winged centipede's head with one claw.

"Sigh~"

The wounds added to the wounds, causing the six-winged centipede to scream in pain again, with a thick blood in its eyes, and it looked like it was completely furious...
