The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 245 Red Beetle

I didn't want to take advantage of Xiaoan, and the matter fell into a stalemate for a while.Jiang Xi became a little irritable, paced around in front of the stone gate twice, and then turned to look at the tablet in my hand.This posture made me vigilant, thinking that this kid won't be tough, right?If he comes hard, Tang Linlin and I really can't deal with it.

Tang Linlin snorted, pushed back bluntly, and said, "What to look at, don't make wrong decisions, at worst we will die together."

Jiang Xi didn't even move his face, and glanced at us coldly: "To die together? I'm here to survive, not to die. If you want to die with me, you don't have the ability." While talking, he ignored us, and He put the two locks in, and then took the dagger and tapped lightly on the other side, apparently trying to test the mechanism.

Jiang Xi escaped from the prison, so he didn't have much equipment. He only carried a hand-sized kit bag, which he probably stole temporarily when he ran out.There are a lot of weird and delicate things in it, and it looks like they are used to deal with institutions.He ran out of the prison and stole such a bag of gadgets before he could steal anything. It was obvious that he had planned to come to this place to seize the treasure, but he even dragged us as a backing for him to clear mines.

He took out a thin copper-yellow iron piece from the kit bag, and slowly inserted it into the groove, staring intently, motionless, except for the slight movement of his wrist, even his breathing was suppressed.Although no one spoke, Tang Linlin and I also knew that there was nothing he could do, and he began to try to crack the mechanism by himself. I think the possibility of this is a bit low, but at this moment, everything is futile if you don't try. will bother.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. For a while, I could only hear my own breathing. The fire dragons around me were burning quietly. There was nothing like the background decoration, and the frequency of the flames beating was exactly the same. A sense of lifelessness.

About 10 minutes or so, Jiang Xi's slightly moving wrist suddenly stopped, and then, in the darkness, from an unknown direction, there was a sudden click.Since the location of this place is relatively large, and there are some echoes, it is really difficult to distinguish the direction of the sound.

Jiang Xi pulled her hand away abruptly, looking around vigilantly, as if looking for the source of the sound.I knew that the sound should be related to Jiang Xi's previous actions, it seemed to be the sound of the machine being stuck.

But at this moment, apart from the disappearing voice just now, there is no other movement around.

Tang Linlin also looked around and murmured, "What's that sound?"

According to Jiang Xi's previous statement, once the lock of the stone door is wrong, it is a trivial matter that the door cannot be opened, and it is very likely that some assassination mechanism will be triggered.What he did just now can be regarded as risking everything and taking a risk.But now, there is obviously something wrong with the machine, but I don't see any danger.

Could it be that this place is safe?
Judging from Yumen's previous behavior style, I think this possibility is really low.Since this place is the last barrier of the secret palace, the danger will only be more serious,

Jiang Xi obviously thought so too, he retreated to Tang Linlin and me, looked around warily, and said coldly: "There may be something wrong, pay attention."

Right now I was half-supported by Tang Linlin. Although my movements were not very quick, my eyes were as good as ever, and I quickly observed the surrounding environment.

Everything is the same as before, without any changes.

After waiting for a while, I lowered my voice and asked Jiang Xi: "What's going on? You didn't touch the organ?"

Jiang Xi looked a little anxious: "Bang, there are a total of fifteen tunnels behind, only one is correct, and the other fourteen are all traps."

Even if I knew Jiang Xi was taking risks, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded when I heard it now, fourteen organs?This, this is too exaggerated. If we test one by one, who knows how many we can try?

If there are only three or four, it is easy to handle, but if there are more than ten at once, and Jiang Xi can only guess by luck, it is like tying his head to the waist of his trousers.

At this moment, Tang Linlin who was beside me suddenly gasped, raised her head and said loudly: "Above!" It was obvious that something had been discovered.I raised my head subconsciously, and looked in the direction of her finger, and it was the big face of the Jumang bird I saw when I just woke up.

That face was still the same as before, huge and lifelike, as if it would come alive at any moment.

After taking a look, I didn't find anything, so I said, "Linlin, what do you want us to see?" Jiang Xi was also attracted to look up at this moment.

Tang Linlin showed surprise on her face, and said, "Just now a red thing, the size of a ping-pong ball, passed over it all at once. I, I don't know what it is."

Red?Something the size of a ping pong ball?
I stared upwards, scanning inch by inch.There is a dome above that, and the dome is a whole boulder, which should be formed naturally, and it is impossible for manpower to hang it so high.Most of the whole boulder is embedded in the mountain, and the remaining half, which is the half we can see now, has been deeply carved into a huge Jumang bird, surrounded by countless peonies, with stamens like Bingtou flowers with human faces.

Because it is a deep carving, even if we just look up, many places are still blind spots.Jiang Xi changed directions to observe the Jumang bird above, and looked around, but neither of us found the red thing that looked like a ping-pong ball that Tang Linlin mentioned.

For a while, I even wondered if she was too tired, the fireworks.

Tang Linlin herself was a little uncertain, she scratched her head and said, "Maybe...it's my eyesight."

As soon as I said this, I suddenly felt a chill on my face, as if there was water dripping on my face.I subconsciously stretched out my hand to wipe it, and immediately touched some cold and slippery liquid. When I put it in front of my eyes, it was like glue and had a fishy smell.

I was startled, and looked up suddenly, but what I saw was still only the feather of the Jumang bird.

Could it be... This stone bird is drooling?

This is of course impossible. I realized that something was wrong, and immediately moved my position. At this moment, a red thing suddenly appeared from the mouth of the Jumang bird.That thing was just as Tang Linlin described it, crimson red, glowing slightly, the size of a ping pong ball, it crawled out of the bird's mouth, followed the bird's head, and crawled into a blind spot in sight place.

what is that

Jiang Xi was much faster than me and Tang Linlin. When the thing hid in a blind spot, his own body moved accordingly. Therefore, although the thing disappeared from my sight and Tang Linlin's, Jiang Xi could still see it now. arrived.

I don't know what he saw, but the expression on his expressionless face suddenly changed, and he suddenly shouted: "We must let them get close!" He took off his robe while speaking.

Accompanied by his movement, larger and larger red balls emerged from the mouth of the Jumang bird, but this time, they suddenly bulged, bulging out a pair of elytra, and buzzing towards us, I Only then did I know that this thing turned out to be a kind of bug!
Jiang Xi immediately used his outer robe to beat it, preventing it from approaching us, while beating it, he said: "What are you doing in a daze, this thing is a red beetle raised by Si Xing Tang, it will secrete venom when it touches a human body, once it touches If you are poisoned, the flesh on your body will rot in pieces, which is used by our Justice Hall to punish clansmen who have committed serious mistakes." While speaking, there were more and more of those things, and my left arm was broken I couldn't take off my clothes at all.

At this moment, Tang Linlin took off her shirt and stuffed it directly into my right hand, while she waved her equipment bag to resist.

As soon as she took off her clothes, I realized that this girl didn't even wear underwear. To be precise, her breasts were too small to be worn at all, so she was only wearing a gray and white girly short vest. When you take it off, most of your waist and stomach are exposed.

But I didn't bother to count how many breasts she had, because there were more and more bugs. Although the speed was not fast, the sound of buzzing and flapping wings made one's scalp tingle.It's definitely not enough to rely on the two of them for cover. At that moment, I twisted Tang Linlin's clothes and waved it. The three of them stood back to back, barely resisting the attack of the red beetle.

But how long can these two clothes last in one bag, there will inevitably be two fish that slip through the net, and there was a scream, and Tang Linlin was bitten by a red beetle on her arm.She reacted very quickly, she threw it on the ground with one hand, stepped on it, and the skin on the arm, as if it had been burned by fire, formed a layer of blisters, and she cried out in pain. Call.
