Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 96
096 Chapter 96 Centipede

This is the first time I've seen this little brother's expression, but it's really like this. After seeing it, I feel cold all over and have an indescribable feeling of extreme fear. If I look directly at him, I'll Such cowardice must scare him to death. I know it's because the situation is so critical that he has such an expression.

The little brother probably still planned to run last, so he let them run first. Before he could move, my hand that he was holding was already numb, and I didn't dare to say anything.

When Wu Xie looked at Men You Ping's face, he had never shown such an expression when he encountered a bloody corpse in the Lu palace. He was definitely not joking, the matter was very critical and serious!He also understood that now was not the time to get to the bottom of things, so he agreed, and Wu Xie quickly turned back, preparing to tell others to run away.

Looking back, Wu Xie looked helpless, because history is always surprisingly similar, forget about Chen Pi's people, you damn fat man, it's like this again!He cursed in his heart, "You're so fucking heartless!" He always thought that he had implemented Mengyou Ping's instructions very thoroughly. As a result, he saw Ye Cheng and Fatty running into the corridor, and he was the only one left. Still thinking about it stupidly, he hurriedly chased after him.

I saw Wu Xie also ran out, and I realized that at some point, the little brother stopped using the flashlight. As soon as they left, it suddenly became dark. I took advantage of the last glimmer of light and turned to look at the little brother. direction, thinking that he just said that something would fall, and his expression showed that it would be troublesome if it fell on him. No matter what kind of insect it was, it was dangerous anyway. He waved his hand and planned to make a protective shield first. I was thinking about what the setting would be like, and I stretched out my right hand while I was thinking about it. Just as I was about to start waving, he didn't even say hello, and he dragged me in the dark and started running out.

Unexpectedly, the little brother took a big step this time and ran very fast. I was dragged by him to run, but I couldn't move my legs. I felt like I was always going to fall. He seemed to feel that I couldn't keep up with the rhythm. , paused for half a step, hugged me and ran with me.

I said I was running, but I felt like every step I took didn't hit the ground. I was basically in a semi-suspended state. I felt like I was almost floating over. Since I didn't have to worry too much about running, I had better concentrate on waving my fingers and hurry up. Turn on the guard to protect him.

I saw a faint soft golden mist floating out from my fingertips, followed by some translucent white masses similar to cotton balls. The golden mist floated upward from our feet in circles around our bodies. Those semi-transparent white mist floated out from my fingertips. The transparent white mass also floated upward in circles with the golden mist, gradually unfolding as it floated, turning into small thin sheets like soft cloth, floating around us, all the way to the top of our heads, and then gradually disappeared.

My little brother and I have shared the feeling, and he can see it even when I use my spiritual power. I said softly to him: "Brother, I have opened the protective shield for us, so the bugs will not fall on us."

He said "yes" and continued to run forward with me.

At this time, Wu Xie and the others rushed through the corridor, broke open the jade door and arrived at the main hall. However, the sound of insects continued unabated and got closer and closer. At this time, it was obvious that the "sparse" sound came from the roof. In all directions, and the number was extremely large, it was the sound of countless feet rubbing the beam above his head, which made his skin crawl.

Wu Xie looked up, but still only saw endless darkness, and couldn't see anything approaching at all.Just now, I was just running around without paying attention to the few people around me. I couldn't see who was who in the darkness around me. Soon the few people distanced themselves. Now I can only distinguish the direction by the light spot of the flashlight.

Ye Cheng seemed to be scared out of his wits. He really ran faster than a rabbit, and Fatty also flew out in an instant. The two ran at the front, and their speeds were almost the same. Wu Xie could hardly keep up.

After running for who knows how long, my physical strength has been almost exhausted, and my pace has gradually slowed down.Wu Xie looked at the flashlight spots in front of him and slowed down. He thought his destination was coming soon, so he involuntarily relaxed his efforts. He was glad that he managed to catch up but still kept up.

Wu Xie sighed, jogged a few steps, and ran to them.I saw that the people in front of me had stopped. They were all carrying heavy equipment and wearing thick clothes. After running all the way, they were all so tired that they were out of breath. They couldn't stand firmly and almost fell down.Everyone held their knees and gasped for air.However, he didn't see the stone door going out, and there was still endless darkness in front of him.

Wu Xie asked: "What's going on? Why didn't you run away?"

Veins began to pop out on Ye Chengpao's face, and he said out of breath: "This is wrong. I just noticed that there are five hundred steps in this hall. My step length is one meter, so with this At the speed of running 2 meters, I estimate that I can reach it in less than [-] minutes, but now, I must have run far beyond that time, and I should at least see Yumen, but you see there is still nothing in front of me. There must be something wrong!”

The fat man was also out of breath and said, "Could it be that you counted it wrong? How can anyone take every step for sure one meter?"

Ye Cheng smiled proudly: "Hey, don't believe it, it's absolutely not wrong. My step is one meter, and the error is no more than one centimeter. If you don't believe it, we can bet. I have run almost 1000 meters on the way back. It’s gone, so there must be something wrong with it.”

Just as he was talking, another person caught up behind him. Seeing that they stopped running, he slowed down and ran to them and stopped.The person who came was Monk Hua. He gasped and said, "Why did you stop? Run quickly. Run out in one breath and rest again."

Ye Cheng explained the situation in one sentence.Monk Hua's expression changed after hearing this. He wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Huh? What's going on? We didn't take a wrong turn when we came in. Why can't we find the way when we go back?"

Wu Xie thought for a moment and said, "Sure enough, what I said is right. Wang Zanghai didn't even want to let us out. We were tricked."

The fat man hurriedly asked: "What should we do? How about we change the direction and run to the left!"

Wu Xie looked around: "No, since you can't go back to the original path, you must be running towards no matter where you are, and you will end up in nowhere. You will never reach the end. Don't waste your efforts."

Ye Cheng said in amazement: "Damn, aren't we going to be trapped here to death?"

After a while, I vaguely saw a small flashlight light spot. They should be in front, but it seemed that they stopped and separated into two waves. This is wrong. I asked softly: "Brother, are those them?" We were all running in a straight line, so why were we standing in a different direction than them?"

The little brother suddenly stopped, he didn't let go of his hand, he just let my feet fall to the ground, and suddenly whispered in my ear: "Don't make any sound." He hugged me and walked quietly towards them again. , kept a distance from them and stopped.

Although the little brother didn't say it, I must have fallen into a trap, and everyone fell into another trap. Just like in an undersea tomb, those doors come and go, and you can't feel them changing at all. I'm afraid they will still be there later. There will be nothing.

The little brother stood there and watched for a while, then suddenly said to me again in my ear: "Girl." I said "Huh?"The little brother suddenly said in a very soft voice: "I need to see over there."

In a dark environment, I couldn't see very well, especially the darkness here was indescribable. I was really like a little blind man, I was ready to wave my hand, and turned my head in the direction where he was speaking, and my eyes were blurred. I put it on his mouth. I closed my eyes and reached up to touch him. I touched his eyes. Then I turned my body slightly to face him, stepped on my toes... and kissed the direction of my hand. Then I kissed him. She slid down and stood next to him, unable to control her heartbeat.

Wu Xie thought to himself that Wang Zanghai's mechanism was activated again. He had experienced it before and had some access to him. He said to Ye Cheng: "That's not a big deal. There are so many of us here. We will definitely be able to get out. We just need to pool our wisdom. , there will be no problem. After all, Wang Zanghai can only do anything within the scope of his ability. No matter how sophisticated the mechanism is, there must be flaws. I am afraid that Wang Zanghai trapping us was not his intention. The strange sound above his head is Something for us to worry about.”

Ye Cheng swept around with his flashlight. It was all gray and only the painted beams could be seen vaguely.

Monk Hua said: "Staying here is not an option. How about we divide our troops into four teams and run in two directions. In this way, one team can get out first and the whole army will not be annihilated."

The fat man shouted: "Look clearly, everyone is not here yet. There are only a few of us, how can we be divided into four teams?" When everyone heard this, they looked around hurriedly, and when they counted the flashlights, several people were immediately confused. , they were in a mess when they were running, thinking they were all together all the time. They didn't even notice when they fell behind, and they didn't expect that half of the people were missing.

Men You Ping, the girl, Chen Pi Ah Si, Lang Feng and Pan Zi who were carrying Shun Zi on their backs didn't catch up. There was no light around them, so there was no way to find their whereabouts.

Wu Xie muttered: "Did you get sidetracked when you were running? If you ran into the darkness here, you would be in trouble. Getting separated in this situation is almost equivalent to committing suicide."

Wu Xie was worried and anxious. He pinched his brows and carefully recalled the details. They were not the last ones. Pan Zi's habit was to be last. This was a habit he had developed as a soldier. , so that everyone's actions can be monitored. Chen Pi Ah Si is older and is also behind. Lang Feng is carrying someone on his back, so he can't move and run fast. Xiao Xun must be with Men You Ping, and Men You Ping is a professional It is very normal for a person of this level to suddenly disappear. He will always stay behind when encountering a situation, and then suddenly disappear.

Wu Xie thought for a while: "They should all be behind us. They should not be far from us when they disappeared. They were running too crazy just now, so they didn't notice it at all."

The fat man raised his voice and shouted: "Old Pan! Where are you?"

As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly heard Lang Feng shouting: "Holy shit, monk! Put out the flashlight! Look at the top of your head!" The direction of the voice could not be discerned at all, but it was extremely loud.
Wu Xie was confused: "What? Turn off the flashlight?" He quickly looked at Monk Hua.

Monk Hua was also extremely nervous. When he saw Wu Xie looking at him, he asked, "Will it be destroyed or not?"

"Listen to him, turn it off and take a look!" The fat man said and put out the flashlight.

Wu Xie immediately turned off the flashlight, and Monk Hua and the others also turned it off one after another.

Suddenly, the surroundings fell into absolute darkness. I was not too far away and clung to my brother, thinking, is there something approaching them?Isn’t it dark enough?…

Wu Xie and the others looked up at the roof. It was still dark at first. The fat man was about to curse, but suddenly it lit up. Countless small green light spots gathered densely on the roof. At first glance, it seemed like they were seeing a sea of ​​stars all over the sky. Same.

Monk Hua asked: "Is this the Fifty Star Chart?"

Looking from Wu Xie's perspective, the shape formed by the green light spots above vaguely resembled a fifty-star chart, but it was not very similar. I quietly said to my brother: "These green light spots are moving. , this is too much."

The fat man said in surprise: "Now I'm rich, there are so many luminous pearls!"

Wu Xie suddenly said: "No, how can the luminous pearl be so small? If you see it moving, it's an insect!"

Fatty became nervous when he heard it was a bug: "Insect? What insect? Firefly?"

Wu Xie replied tremblingly: "No, fireflies only flicker. I didn't..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt an itch in his neck, as if something had fallen into his collar. A touch of hand.He touched a lump of something and squeezed it to death. Based on the feel of his hand, Wu Xie felt something was wrong. It was an arthropod insect, and it seemed to have a lot of legs.

Wu Xie turned on the flashlight, took the thing he had just pinched out from his collar, took a look at it, took a breath of air, and immediately threw the thing on the ground.Wu Xie didn't expect it to be a "centipede"!Because he dared to touch anything when he was a child, but he just didn't dare to touch this. He always felt that it was uncomfortable to see. It was a legend in their hometown.As soon as this thing crawls over your body, everything it crawls over will rot.The most terrifying thing is that this thing will burrow into people's ears. Now that I see it, I feel numb all over.

I trembled and muttered: "The "centipede" that guy Zi Yan mentioned is much cuter than this one..." The information said that this thing is a type of centipede, a close relative of the centipede, an arthropod, and it looks very much like a centipede. , generally slightly smaller than a centipede, with a yellowish-brown body color and fifteen pairs of slender legs. It lives in moist places, preys on small insects, and is useful for farming.

Of course, Ziyan was talking about normal "centipedes". Maybe when she collected the information, these things were still "cute"... And the "centipedes" here are obviously mutated, and they are as long as a palm. , the front and rear tentacles are very long, the body is slender and has nine sections, and there is a green spot on the back of each section. The legs are very long, almost as long as its body, and there are very many, like a lot of long hair on both sides of the trunk. .

"Brother, there are so many bugs, will they be okay? What are these bugs afraid of?"

The little brother sighed deeply and whispered: "This kind of "centipede" loves heat, is poisonous, and can even burrow into the ears."

"Then if I put a net over their heads to reduce the number of drops, would it be useful?"

"Here, I'm afraid the whole room is full of them. There are too many of them and they are useless. They have to rely on themselves this time."

When Wu Xie saw the insect, his whole body tensed up and he said to them: "This is a centipede, also called "Qiangchuanzi." There are records in Liaozhai that it can grow up to three feet, and it is a very demonic thing. There are many of these things. It’s poisonous, so be careful.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xie suddenly felt itchy on his head again. He touched another one and it fell from above. He screamed and hurriedly slapped it off and quickly put on the mountaineering hat. Shining the flashlight on the ground, I couldn't help but say: "Holy shit!"

I don't know when, several of these bugs were already crawling on the ground, and more were falling from above.

They couldn't avoid being attacked one after another. Monk Hua didn't react as quickly as Wu Xie. He had already jumped up and kept patting the thing out of his neck. However, it was of no use at all. The thing found its way through every crack and quickly got in. Inside his clothes.And the bugs on the ground were crawling up their shoes.

The fat man took out the washbasin and put it on his head, and used the other hand to beat him with the shovel. Wu Xie saw that Ye Cheng was holding his head, so he hurried to help him. When he pulled his hand away, he saw his Several have crawled into my ears.Wu Xie hurriedly asked him to turn his head sideways and lower his head, and patted his head to knock out the bugs.

They were filming and running, but the thing fell towards them like rain. Just when they didn't know what to do, there was a sudden "pop" and a lamp in the distance turned on.

Wu Xie was wondering who set it on fire.Suddenly the "centipede" on the ground reacted and began to crawl towards the lamp slave.
