Chapter 98 Sacrifice
098 Chapter 98 Sacrifice

Chen Pi's Asi looked at the black shadow with a serious expression. He saw his hand suddenly raised, and an iron bullet flew straight out of his hand and was thrown towards the lamp slave's flame. It passed by and was carried by the strong wind. The flames suddenly lit up, and a figure with a strangely long neck was seen standing next to the lamp slave.

In an instant, the fire returned to its original state, and the iron marbles made a crisp "pop" sound. They hit an unknown place, and then rolled to the ground with a "tap-tat-tat-tat" sound. The bounce of the iron marbles echoed in the empty spiritual palace. It feels a little bit intrusive.

Looking at it through Wu Xie's perspective, I can't see clearly what the shadow is, but it is big and weird in appearance. It must not be a human. I always feel that this thing seems to be running towards the light.

Shunzi was so frightened that she shouted softly: "What is this!"

Monk Hua immediately covered his mouth, and several people subconsciously put their hands on their own knives.

As expected of an old Jianghu, Chen Pi Ah Si was indeed very calm and not panicked at all. He waved to them and winked at Monk Hua.

Following Monk Hua a few steps, he jumped onto the lamp slave beside him and put out the fire with one hand.Immediately afterwards, they also turned off their flashlights, and the surrounding area suddenly darkened, leaving only the lamp slave beside the shadow. The weak firelight was particularly dazzling at this time.

We followed Wu Xie's perspective and saw that the shadow over there was the size of a person. Although most of his body was still hidden in the darkness, his unusually long neck and some things on his body that seemed to be thorns or tentacles, Such a strange thing, this must be the next step in Wang Zanghai's trap.

I saw that this thing seemed to like heat. I already had some idea of ​​what it was. I helped the little brother cover my hand, exposed my nose, gestured and smelled it carefully, and found that the lamp slave's ten thousand years of oil was in it. , seems to exude the same smell as the black smoke just now, it seems that there is also that kind of insect-scented jade here...

Remember that the pheromones emitted by "Chongyin" will attract specific insects, and the "insect-scented jade" here attracts centipedes, so the huge thing in front of you can only be a giant centipede monster... The purpose of attracting bugs is to arouse their appetite or desire to attack. Those small ones are difficult to deal with, but if you mess with such a big one, you can't even let it eat the crumbs...

I looked at the little brother, reached out and pulled him, stood on tiptoes, held his shoulders and whispered what I thought into his ear. I saw that he also had a sad look on his face. It seemed that the difficulty this time had been there. non-stop upgradin……

The more Wu Xie looked at it, the more he felt that this was a trap set by Wang Zanghai in the Ling Palace, and it must be extremely sinister.This shadow looks more and more like a monster...

They didn't dare to express their anger and stared at the shadow, but the shadow just stood there upright, not even swaying.

Several people waited quietly for a while, but the thing still didn't move at all. The fat man looked a little impatiently at the shadow, and couldn't help but asked softly: "I said... something is wrong. If it were a living thing, he would It has to move, but this thing is motionless. Could it be that we were dazzled by it, and that it was the shadows printed on the pillars by the lamp slaves?"

Ye Chengdao: "Nonsense, aren't the lamp slaves standing around? How could he come here by himself?"

The fat man said softly: "Isn't it said that after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Pipa can become a spirit? Maybe the stone lamp slave here will become a lamp slave spirit."

If this matter were to be put to the truth, Wu Xie would have to say that he was talking nonsense. A few months ago, he did not believe in things like zongzi, but after these few months of experience, including blood corpses, forbidden women, sea monkeys, zongzi, and monsters, looking at it now , anything is really possible, I don’t dare to easily judge what this thing is in front of me now, but what the fat man said makes sense, as long as it is a living thing, even a zongzi, he has to move, but this motionless thing really wants to Doesn’t make sense.

I know this thing is already scary, and I really don’t dare to watch it, but with the spiritual power video on, I have to watch it even if I don’t.

At this time, they heard them whispering that they were going to check it out. The fat man said in a very low voice: "Then let's stop admiring its figure here and sneak over to take a look. If it were really a human being, he would knock him down and beat him." !”

Several people agreed and began to take action.I knew there was nothing wrong with the fat man’s proposal at this time, but it was really bad news for me. I broke out in a cold sweat, and before I could stand on my tiptoes, my legs went soft and I slid along with my little brother. If I hadn't been hugging me all the time, I would have leaned over.

The lamp slave was not very far away from them. After a few steps, the shadow became clearer and clearer. As he approached the area where the light could shine, Wu Xie subconsciously slowed down and lurked in the darkness, slowly. He leaned over gently.

Wu Xie is getting closer and closer to that thing, and I am getting more and more scared. My brother knows that I must be scared, but there is no good way. He has to take care of both ends, so he can only hold me tightly in his arms. To comfort myself, for the sake of my little brother, just treat it as a 3D horror movie.

Wu Xie estimated that the black shadow was about ten steps away. He squinted his eyes and looked at him, getting closer little by little. His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, cold sweat kept breaking out, and he prayed to God. !Don't let me see what I don't want to see!

However, reality is always cruel. As he gets closer and closer, he gradually realizes that God may not bless people like them who rob and dig up graves. The thing in front of him becomes clearer and clearer. Suddenly, he only feels that he is His whole body felt weak and he was so stiff that he could not move. He saw something that could not be described in words. The huge black shadow in front of him was a surprisingly large "centipede"!
Not to mention that Wu Xie was so stiff that I almost lost my breath. It is a close relative of the centipede, and it is so big. I couldn’t hold back the tears. I had already plunged into his arms, trembling, little brother. He held me with one hand and touched my head with the other to comfort me.

The largest centipede that Wu Xie knew could grow to more than one meter, but the one in front of him was obviously bigger. It raised half of its body like a snake and wrapped around the lamp slave.The long neck you saw just now is actually the shadow formed by its two large poisonous jaws and long tentacles.Countless long legs were hanging down, and the entire giant insect was motionless, as if it was sucking the gas evaporated from the lamp oil.

Wu Xie thought about what he knew about the Caribbean Galapagos centipede in the family Centipedeidae, which can grow to 40~60cm, but one that grows to more than one meter has never been found. With such a huge body, the lifespan of this insect, I'm afraid it's thousands of years old.Wu Xie thought that the Dongxia Kingdom saw such a huge centipede after retreating into the mountains, and then deified it into the incarnation of a dragon.

At this moment, several people groaned from all around. It seemed that they had all seen it. The fat man said very softly: "It's your uncle's!"

Then someone whistled a few times, which meant: "Get back!" At that time, they didn't care who said it, and started to retreat unconsciously.But after the lamp slave was extinguished, there was no goal to retreat. Several people retreated on their own. In the end, they didn't know where they retreated, and they all dispersed at once.

Wu Xie turned on the flashlight again, intending to light a lamp slave to attract their attention, but unexpectedly he saw the shadow of the giant centipede not far away swaying, and the lamp slave beside it suddenly went out. The giant centipede instantly disappeared into the darkness. At the same time, far away, Monk Hua lit up a cold firework and shouted: "Everyone, please don't light the lamp. Everyone watching my cold firework must gather here."

Wu Xie hurriedly ran to Monk Hua. He could hear the sound of many feet crawling on the floor. The frequency was extremely fast and the sound was getting louder and louder.

The fat man shouted from the other direction: "Why don't you click? Click on this thing to temporarily drag the big bug. If you don't click on it, it will come straight to us. It has so many legs that we can't outrun it."

Monk Hua said: "No! I smelled that there was insect-scented jade in the lamp oil. Once the smell comes out, more of these things will crawl out, which will make it even more troublesome."

It is true that there may be more things here, but when they run around, my brother and I will be easily discovered. Listening to their steps, my brother can tell where there are people, so he led me as close as possible to them. Avoid them without being discovered.

Wu Xie ran and shouted, "Then what should we do with this one?"

Monk Hua said to them: "Hurry over there. I have my own way. Be careful behind you. This kind of bug crawls very fast!"

Soon they rushed to Monk Hua according to the position of Leng Yanhuo. Suddenly, many flashlight light spots appeared all around. Several people rushed out of the darkness. They were all out of breath and could hardly speak. Not coming out.

The fat man covered his chest and looked at the darkness around him, and asked Monk Hua: "Okay, we're here. If you have any ideas, tell me! That thing is coming soon."

Several people calmed down and listened to the crawling sound of the thing, but when they heard it, they found that the sound had disappeared. It seemed that the big insect had not followed. Wu Xie suddenly felt strange.

Monk Hua was also panting very hard. He coughed and patted his backpack and said, "Actually, it's not a special method. We also have explosives to blow it up."

As soon as he said this, the little brother knew what he was going to do, and he already knew where the explosives would be placed. But if he guessed correctly, the place where he put the explosives was still very close to us, but it was too dark, little brother Brother can only roughly estimate the distance based on the current situation, and take me as far away from the explosives as quickly as possible.

The fat man laughed out loud when he heard this: "Well, I'll leave this glorious task to you. Just go ahead and I will help you take care of the old man."

Monk Hua said: "I don't need to go, I have already settled it, so someone will go."

Suddenly Wu Xie realized something, turned around and said, "Where is Lang Feng?"

Monk Hua didn't speak, but looked to the side of the darkness: "Get ready. It's coming."

Before I finished speaking, there was a loud "boom" behind me, and a dazzling fire suddenly flashed out in the darkness. At the moment of the explosion, the little brother hugged me tightly and led me forward. He moved very quickly. , the moment he landed, he let himself hit the ground first to catch me, then turned over and blocked me, holding me tightly in his arms. The explosion was so loud that I felt my ears buzzing, my head felt dizzy, and a large amount of Wooden debris rained down on us, and the whole floor shook wildly.

Wu Xie and the others immediately fell to the ground out of reflex, and the bounced wooden board almost hit Wu Xie's nose. The shock wave was not big at their position, but the sound was very loud.His eardrums were buzzing and he couldn't hear anything clearly for a while.

The direction of the explosion was already on fire. They didn't notice that we were here. By the light of the fire, the little brother quickly looked at the surrounding environment and found a corner where he could hide temporarily. He quickly got up and hugged me directly.

Wu Xie raised his head and looked at the direction of the explosion. He saw that a big crater had been blown up in the floor, and the edges had been burned. The whole head of the huge "thousand-legged centipede dragon" had been blown to pieces, and it was still going on. It twisted, and the place where the explosion occurred was actually the place where Lang Feng was placed just now...

Wu Xie understood at once that the "Thousand-legged Centipede Dragon" did not chase him just now because it was lured to Lang Feng who was unconscious at the side, and Monk Hua pressed explosives on his body... It was really unexpected. But their own brothers, Wu Xie couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at Monk Hua and Chen Pi Asi. They had no expression at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Wu Xie's expression, Chen Pi Asi patted him and said softly to him: "Go forward three times and then go four. Didn't your grandpa teach you? If it were me, they would do the same to me in this line of work. , we must have such awareness.”

Wu Xie naturally knew that these words were the native language of native masters.It means there are three steps to consider before doing something and four steps to consider after doing something.When you are underground, your life is at stake every time you move something. Therefore, before doing anything, you must consider what will happen in the next three steps and how to deal with it. If you find that you cannot solve the problem, just Can not do.And such considerations must become a habit.It was also mentioned in his grandfather's notes.When underground, sometimes you don't realize danger until it's too late, so consider it before it arises.Tomb robbing is a delicate job, and it requires courage. I don’t know how many half-hearted people from ancient times went to ancient tombs when their brains got hot, and they were directly buried with them.

It's just that it was a human life. It was so unjust that Lang Feng died like this. This Chen Pi Ah Si is really scary. At this time, I can only try my best to pretend that nothing happened.
