Chapter 452 Siguniang Mountain ([-])
452 Chapter 452 Siguniang Mountain ([-])

Seeing that I woke up and the pain was like this again, even if my brother was always cold, he would touch my head to comfort me. However, he just looked at me with a serious look on his face, still afraid of me. It made a sound, and the hand covering my mouth never let go.

My brother didn't give me a chance to react at all. His other hand had already held the back of my head, and then he quickly pulled me in front of him and hugged me, covering me tighter, and followed him He freed up a hand and turned off our own flashlight with a "pop" sound, and we were immediately plunged into darkness.

My brother's series of reactions made me immediately realize that there must be something dangerous around us.

I think maybe some troublesome thing here has sensed that there are many living people here, so it came to find us, and the matter seems to be very urgent. There is no time for me to wonder what happened. My brother seems to be very worried. Nervous, I knew I needed to adjust myself quickly.

I started to look at the surrounding situation. Now we were not turning on our own flashlights. Therefore, not far away, a lonely flashlight that someone else had dropped and lying quietly on the ground was shining brightly. I always have an unlucky feeling.

Under its flickering faint light, I discovered that we were hiding in a shallow hole in the cave wall. The depth of this hole was only more than one meter, but it was enough for us to huddle up and hide in it.

The only sounds I could hear were my own and my brother's breathing and the beating of my heart. The surroundings were eerily quiet, as if there was no one else nearby except us.

The surrounding darkness is also a very abnormal black. This darkness makes people feel very depressed, as if the air is filled with black smoke. If you look carefully at the surrounding mountain walls, it is also pitch black, and the surface of the mountain walls is also dark. It was also covered with thick, crazy-growing black hairy fungi drooping down like a large waterfall, which made people's scalp numb.

But if it was just like this, my brother would not be in such a vigilant state. There are other people. How did I lose consciousness? My memory is vague.

Just as I was wondering and recalling, I saw that the black smoke-like substance in the air was stirred by something, and began to roll chaotically, and I felt like something was coming towards us.

It must be the fear of the unknown. I seemed to feel a cold air coming over me. I couldn't help but hold my brother's arm tightly with both hands. I wanted to know what was coming, but I didn't dare to look. His eyes narrowed and remained half-open.

The black smoke billowed more and more fiercely, and my heart was in my throat. After a while, a black thing suddenly came out of the corner of the cave. I didn't even have time to see what it was, and a huge black thing came out. rushed into my field of vision.

This thing took steps like a human being. It stepped in front of us in one step and stopped less than half a meter away from us.

Seeing that his whole body was covered with black hairy fungi that were as long as the strands of cloth on a mop, the word "mop essence" suddenly came to my mind...

I thought that after being wrapped by the bloodthirsty black hair fungus, the person would die inside. The black hair fungus absorbed the nutrients and flourished, and would only form a black hair ball. Over time, the person would have turned into white bones, or even The bones were also digested and decomposed by the black hair fungus, which seemed to be a normal phenomenon. However, the human figure swallowed by the black hair fungus in front of him turned into a mop spirit.

However, no matter what, the person inside this black hair fungus should be no longer alive. An idea suddenly came to my mind, what would the person under the thick and dense black hair look like.

Judging from the bloodthirsty nature of the black hair fungus, that person must have been covered in blood to be wrapped up like this. What happened to that person to make him covered in blood? Besides, this ancient tomb is thousands of years old. , after such a long time, the corpse can still walk, which means that the black hair fungus can also control the nerves of the corpse, allowing it to move and even attack people.

But even if he is a powerful character, is he just one? It’s not like my brother and I are the only two people in our team, and even Brother Bai Hao and Sister Liyue are missing. We met What team was broken up?

I seem to remember that it was washed away... Oh, yes, it was washed away. I suddenly remembered what happened before I lost consciousness.

At that time, I felt that the air here was not good and I felt a little uncomfortable. I didn’t think much about it at first, but as my body temperature increased and I felt out of breath, I soon realized whether it was the air here. It's poisonous.

Although I am considered invulnerable to all poisons, I have a sensitive constitution. My body will feel it when I encounter poisons. If the toxins are severe, I will have a fever. The intensity of the poison can be determined based on the degree of fever.

Although I can feel that this poison is far inferior to the toxin of the Corpse Dragon King, I have not completely eliminated the previous Corpse Dragon King toxin, and my fever has not completely gone away. When I encounter the poison again, my body reacts very violently, and my body temperature soon exceeds It was getting harder and harder to breathe as much as I could bear.

I reached out to grab my brother's arm and said to him: "The air... there is something in the air."

Qi Tiezui said: "There is something in the air, Qilin, you can't be sure."

Zhang Qiling turned around and raised his hand to touch the girl's face, which was hot.

Liyue reached out and touched Xiaoxun's forehead and said, "It's probably over forty degrees."

Bai Hao said: "It only dropped to over 37 degrees before I came here. Let me take a look." Then he stretched out his hand and tried it and said: "Our Xiaoxun has been sensitive to these since we were young. It's very accurate. Although we don't feel anything, but If she says it's poisonous, that's because it's poisonous. If she reacts badly, it's because her poison has not been eliminated. How many people can withstand the poison of the Corpse Dragon King, otherwise this little poison is nothing at all."

Qi Tiezui said "Oh" and said, "That's right."

Bai Hao took out the medicine he got from Yu Jing from his arms and said quietly to me: "This is the glazed pill with dragon scales added to it. The medicine will be more effective. Come to Xiaoxun and open your mouth."

Zhang Qiling saw that the girl lowered her head in discomfort, as if she had no strength, so he gently pinched her face, and the girl's mouth was pinched open a small opening. Bai Hao stuffed the pills in, and they watched the girl take it. Before they could eat, they heard a sudden scream from behind the team, and a commotion ensued.

Bai Hao stood up straight, looked behind him and said "Wow", "Isn't that right? Did you step on a trap? Or was you attacked?"

Li Yue said, "It sounds like there's an attack." Li Yue looked around and said, "Wait, listen carefully, there seems to be other sounds."

Those of us in front listened carefully. Zhang Rishan said: "It's like a long hissing sound."

Bai Hao imitated a sound of "hissing..." and said, "Not only that, but there is also a squeaking sound. It should be squeaking... hissing... like a sound of deflation." Li Yue said, "Is it poisonous gas?"

Qi Tiezui said: "Where are we going? We'll be here in a moment."

Gou Wuye sighed and said: "What else can we do? We can only continue to walk in and take a look. It is definitely impossible to retreat."

At this time, Zhang Qiling picked up the girl, raised her body slightly, and then said: "Follow me." Then he quickened his pace and continued walking inside.

Some in the team reminded everyone to be careful, and some reminded everyone to get out of here quickly. As they walked, they heard screams coming from the rear of the team.

There was a squeaking sound of deflation, and there were deflation holes along a long stretch of the passage. Soon, black smoke filled the passage, and there was also the sound of someone fighting.

Bai Hao said: "Is this smoke? It's getting thicker and thicker. Listening to the noise behind it, it seems that there is not only poisonous gas, but also other things."

Li Yue suddenly said: "Look, there is a hole in front, but it looks a bit like the one just now."

Qi Tiezui gasped and said, "Isn't this going back to the same place?"

We stopped in front of the cave entrance, I closed my eyes, and after a moment I said, "No."

Qi Tiezui obviously didn't believe it and said, "Are you so sure?"

I said with absolute certainty: "There is none here."

Qi Tiezui muttered: "No? It's nothing? Qilin, please make it clear."

Time was running out, so I raised my hand and shot out the same number of light spots as the number of caves. Qi Tiezui reacted loudly and said, "What, what is this?"

Bai Hao patted him on the shoulder and said, "A trained firefly who knows how to find paths."

Qi Tiezui naturally didn't believe it and said, "Fireflies? Are they this color?"

Bai Hao said: "It's just yellow light, but the ones we cultivated by Xiaoxun are lighter in color and softer in brightness. Don't you think they are more beautiful?"

After a while, most of the bright spots flew back. Brother Bai Hao said that they were insects and they couldn't be seen as just balls of light. Before they could fly close, he quietly waved his hand and turned the light spots into fireflies. , and also took out a small bamboo jar and put it in it.

I said, "Three of them didn't come back." Then I slowly raised my head and waited for my brother's decision.

Just as we were hesitating which way to go, the shouts of the people behind us were already not far behind us.

I saw many people rolling in black smoke and rushing over like crazy.

Zhang Rishan stopped a man and asked him what was wrong, but the man seemed to be fascinated by something. He didn't respond when he called him. His behavior was very strange, his eyes were round and empty, and he felt what he saw in his eyes. Things are different than what we see.

Bai Hao also immediately stopped one, and that person was in the same state. Bai Hao said, "It seems like poison that can confuse the mind."

At the same time, another delirious person rushed over. As soon as they ran over, the surroundings immediately became chaotic. The two delirious people standing next to Zhang Rishan and Bai Hao suddenly went crazy and started fighting with them. Hands, and obviously using brute force.

Some of those who rushed over were running around, some were fighting each other, some were holding their heads and screaming in pain as if they had a headache, and some were covering their ears with their hands, as if they heard something. His face was full of fear, and he had all the symptoms.

Someone lost his mind and rushed toward us. My brother immediately pushed me away. Liyue supported me. My brother immediately blocked the person who was baring his teeth and claws at us and making tearing movements. He moved like a wild beast and opened his mouth to bite.

It was very easy for my brother to subdue him. The first move was to control the man's arm, and then he turned him over and pinned him to the ground. His movements were fast and graceful. I instantly let out a "wow", and the man still wanted to resist. , and was tied up by his brother with the rope tied around the man's waist.

At this time, someone had already rushed towards the cave, but he didn't run into the hole I marked. Not long after, we heard a scream.

At this time, Qi Tiezui shouted: "Chief, the smoke is coming."

Bai Hao said to Zhang Qiling: "How about it? Do you know which way to go? We need to hide for a while first."

I saw my brother make a quick analysis, and then we started walking towards the middle passage.
