Chapter 40: Poisonous Insect Witch Array
*Jiangnan Corpse King’s Tomb of Miao Jiang (17)*
In the deep mountains of Miaojiang surrounded by wild trees, Chen Xiaofeng and Big Beard were walking on a rugged mountain road. They saw the two of them walking one behind the other at a "flying on the grass" pace. They were extremely fast! To say that this was a run.
Big Beard was much better at crossing mountains and rivers than Chen Xiaofeng. When he saw him spreading his legs and running ahead like a sword from a bow, Chen Xiaofeng was naturally not willing to fall behind others. Although he and Big Beard were several meters apart
Although the distance was far away, he still kept chasing after me as fast as flying.
During the few days that Chen Xiaofeng was recovering from his injuries, Big Beard had already inquired about the Miao people in the village and learned that the location of the tomb-guarding witch and Gu master in the Miao territory was at the location closest to the top of this deep mountain.
There is a "caterpillar skull cave" there. Because of the peculiar geographical environment, the shape of the cave entrance is like a human skull with a wide mouth, hence the name.
So the two people didn't take many detours. When the white fish belly was exposed in the east, they arrived at this cave that looked eerie from the outside.
Before entering the cave, Chen Xiaofeng asked the bearded man to hold a shotgun as a sentinel for him. He carefully observed the cave up and down. Later, he discovered that the "Catworm Skull Cave" was exactly as the name suggests. From a distance, the entrance of the cave looked like
A human skull with a big mouth, it would really startle you if you happened to pass by this place.
Then the two sorted out their equipment and entered the cave. The bearded man held up a high-performance military flashlight in front of him, and Chen Xiaofeng also took out his ancestral fire folder and followed behind. These two ancient and modern objects
Don't say it's too weird when put together.
The interior of the cave is not very spacious. I don’t know if the steps under my feet are artificially built or formed naturally over time. In short, it is a very irregular sloping ground. The two people walked cautiously towards the depths of the cave. Inside
The smell was very unpleasant. I couldn’t tell what it was. In short, it was just a fishy and pungent smell. The further down you went, the more choking the smell became. In desperation, Chen Xiaofeng and Big Beard both brought the prepared bags.
With the thousand-layer cloth mask, breathing is no longer so difficult.
When they finally reached the bottom of the dark cave, they found a large space in front of them. However, they did not see the tomb guard wizard coming to stop them along the way. Could it be that the man was neither human nor ghost?
The wizard is not in the cave at this time, so this time they are not going to miss anything.
Just when the two of them entered the huge space at the bottom of the cave, they found that the place was quite empty and there were no objects placed in it. But when they walked to the center, they found that there were many depressions on the ground.
When you walked into the trench and took a closer look, you realized that the shape of the trench was very peculiar. It formed a large, regular circle in the center of the hole, and there were deep trenches arranged in a pattern within the circle.
It's like a big circle surrounding a ferocious evil ghost.
At this moment, the bearded foot suddenly stepped on a raised stone on the ground. It didn't matter if he stepped on it, the big square stone sunk directly, and then made a "click" sound.
, Chen Xiaofeng saw that something was wrong and hurriedly asked Big Beard to move his feet, but it was already too late. Even after Big Beard moved his feet, the stone was still deeply dented.
The two people were standing in the middle of the ditch surrounded by a circle. They heard a sudden "rustling" sound coming from the dark ditch, as if thousands of troops were about to emerge from the ditch.
It's like it popped up.
Just when the two of them were surprised, the bearded man suddenly felt that his trouser legs seemed to be crawling with something. Then he took a look with the help of a flashlight, and finally didn't scream in fear. He saw that there were densely crawling things under the feet of the two of them.
Man Man carried a carapace on his back and his head looked a bit like a big ant, crawling out of the dark ditch in a steady stream.
It doesn't matter now. The frightened Bearded Beard threw away the flashlight in his hand and hurriedly used his hands to swat the bugs that had climbed onto his pants. At this time, Chen Xiaofeng heard a loud shout: "Brother Bearded Beard, let's go quickly, we are fucked
You have fallen into a trap. This ditch must be the witchcraft poisonous insect array set up by the tomb guard wizard. Be sure not to let those insects come into contact with your skin, otherwise you will be bitten and poisoned and die."
When the bearded man heard what Chen Xiaofeng said, he immediately did not dare to swat those weird bugs with his hands. Chen Xiaofeng also used a fire to burn the bugs while trying to lift his legs to escape. However, the two of them felt something was wrong. Just now
My legs were still fine, but why were they stuck to the ground and unable to move?
This made the two people in the poisonous insect formation extremely anxious. They expected that the wizard must have planted some poisonous witchcraft in the ditch, or else the two of them had been bitten by those poisonous insects at this time, and the poison was poisonous.
It can seep into the blood and you can't move even if you want to.
Chen Xiaofeng hurriedly refreshed himself. After a while, Chen Xiaofeng found that there was no sign of poisonous gas invading his body's meridians. Then the poisonous insect array was really evil. His two legs couldn't move at all.
.
At this moment, Chen Xiaofeng and Big Beard suddenly discovered that there was a black figure standing not far away from them. They looked at it with the light of Huozhezi and felt a chill. The black figure was none other than the man who had used evil spirits many times before.
The black-clothed wizard who was trying to bring harm to the Gangwa Miao Village was showing a ferocious face at this moment, and he was letting out a menacing laugh at the two of them.
When Chen Xiaofeng saw that they had indeed been ambushed this time, they must have set up the evil array early in the morning and were waiting for them. As a result, the two of them were caught by an oversight. At this time, Chen Xiaofeng knew that they had been possessed by evil spells. If
If you don't think about it, you will definitely be eaten by these weird poisonous insects until not even the bones are left.
Then Chen Xiaofeng threw away the fire fold in his hand, quickly took out a handful of yellow paper talismans from the yellow cloth bag, and then chanted the incantation: "Southern Gangtian Lord, golden fire bells, thick smoke flying over the five mountains, turning the sea and shaking the universe,
Travel around the country, command all the heavenly soldiers, kill the evil gods and evil spirits, and quickly draw the heavenly fire to burn the city. The wind and fire are as fast as the law!!!"
As soon as the Supreme Lord's decree came out, fierce fire appeared from the sky, burning all the evil spirits in the world. Thick smoke stained the sky. The large stack of paper charms in Chen Xiaofeng's hand suddenly burst into flames. Then Chen Xiaofeng raised several magic charms with one hand, accompanied by them.
The fire went straight from the top of the head to the ground, and the weird bugs that were crawling out of the ditch were instantly ignited and burned by the fire. However, these bugs with carapace still crawled out of the ditch in a steady stream, flying moths to the flames.
Rushing towards the burning flames.
At this time, the bearded man also used the large-caliber shotgun in his hand to continuously shoot at the bugs on the ground. When one bullet was hit, a lot of bugs were smashed to pieces, and the yellow viscous liquid was thrown everywhere! This
Only then did Chen Xiaofeng see clearly that wherever the liquid in the bodies of the disemboweled insects touched, it was as if sulfuric acid had been poured onto the ground and burned out a big pit. Then he felt that his legs had become conscious. It seemed that the previous
The strong talisman and the curse had broken the body binding spell of the tomb guard witch and Gu master, and then he shouted to the bearded man: "Brother Bearded, you can move now, run quickly!!!"
At this time, the two of them spread their legs at the same time, taking three steps and two steps at a time to escape the circular ditch. At this time, Chen Xiaofeng pulled out the Patriarch's Demon-Conquering Peach Wood Sword and wanted to fight the black wizard, but when
Just after they got rid of the poisonous insects, they discovered that there was no trace of the ferocious-looking tomb-guarding wizard.
At this moment, the insects that were burned by the talisman's fire suddenly stopped rushing towards the fire, and quickly withdrew into the dark ditch in an orderly manner.
There was a roar in his ears, and the floor of the cave began to shake. The edge of the deep trench in the ground cracked, as if something huge was about to rush out of the ground.
When the two of them were panicking, they saw that the deep trench in the ground that was crawling with insects just now suddenly collapsed, dust was flying, and a big black insect rose from the broken ground.
Chen Xiaofeng took a closer look and found that the big black thing was covered with scale-like carapace, and the four long and thick tentacles above its head were swinging back and forth. It was clearly a person who seemed to be wearing armor from top to bottom.
Big bug. It seems that the poisonous bugs that crawled out before are just minions. The real master is waiting below. He probably saw his great-grandchildren being burned by Chen Xiaofeng's spell fire, so he couldn't help but break through.
Coming out of the ground, I didn't expect that the wizard could even summon such evil tricks.
As soon as the two people saw that the big bug had climbed onto the ground and was staring directly at them with its four tentacles shaking, they immediately knew that this thing was difficult to deal with, and immediately ran towards the steps going straight down.
Go. Unexpectedly, we have just reached the edge of the cave entrance. In an instant, a large stone slab fell from the sky, blocking the entrance of the caterpillar skull cave. It was terrible now. There was a huge "armored bug" attacking inside. The only way to escape was
The way out was firmly blocked by a large stone slab again. Chen Xiaofeng and Big Beard really had no way to escape at this moment.
In desperation, the bearded man took out a large bag of home-made explosives from the backpack on his back. He lit it and threw it down directly, hoping to blow up the big bugs in the cave and the tomb-guarding wizard.
Broken! At this moment, Chen Xiaofeng suddenly stopped him and told him that the soil in the cave was extremely soft and could not withstand the shock of such powerful explosives. What if the explosion shattered the soil?
Not to mention the big bug and the wizard, even the two of them had to be buried alive in the caterpillar skull cave.
In desperation, the bearded man had no choice but to use the large-caliber shotgun in his hand to keep shooting at the big bug slowly climbing up the steps. However, when the solid hunting bullets that could kill bears hit the huge beast, it was like
It hit the helmet, and when the bullet touched the scales on the insect, sparks immediately popped out, and then it was bounced away. The ricochet flew several meters away and was embedded in the wall of the cave.
Although Big Beard kept reloading ammunition and kept shooting at the insect that was about to climb up, it still did not stop its forward speed. Seeing that the thing was only a few meters away from Chen Xiaofeng and the others, Chen Xiaofeng said to Big Beard:
"Brother Beard, it seems that the carapace of this insect's ancestor is harder than armor. It is invulnerable. Ordinary weapons cannot hurt it at all. Even my Taoist magic weapon may not be useful to him. You can retreat to the back for now.
Try to find a mechanism to open this stone door, brother, I will go down and block that evil obstacle."
When the bearded man heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and said: "That's not possible. Your injuries are just right. Besides, my brothers and sisters are still waiting for you in the village. If you have a three-dimensional one, how many people will want it?"
Oh my life, no, I'll go find the switch on your behalf."
At this critical moment, neither of the two people was willing to leave the other and escape. In the end, the two reached a consensus. Big Beard went to find the switch, and Chen Xiaofeng followed him closely. If he wanted to die, everyone would die together, if he wanted to escape, everyone would escape together!
At this moment, the insect that looked like armor was already in front of him, but the bearded man searched the hole up and down, but he couldn't find the mechanism to open the stone door. At this time, the situation was extremely dangerous, and the big insect had already opened
With its mouthparts full of barbs, it can swallow two people in one bite at any time! Chen Xiaofeng shouted angrily at this moment, took out the "Blue Moon Spinning Water Thorn" from his trouser leg and chopped it at the tentacles of the big insect.
After passing by, as soon as the sword was unsheathed, the whole cave was like a bolt from the blue. Suddenly a bright light flashed through, and there was only a "click" sound, and the four thick and long tentacles of the insect were all swept away.
The root was cut off, and the monster immediately let out a heart-rending howl.
When Chen Xiaofeng saw that his family heirloom blade could hurt the strange insect, he immediately slashed wildly at the thing, smashing the scales on the top of the big insect's head to pieces, and he was almost splashed by it.
The body fluids of the bugs were splashed all over him, but he had to dodge quickly, otherwise he would have been burned to a skeleton.
The strange insect almost had its head chopped off by Chen Xiaofeng with his sword. Then he seemed to know that the person in front of him was not easy to mess with, and rolled down the steps that were almost at right angles into the depths of the cave. This was Chen Xiaofeng's response to the bearded man.
Said: "Brother Beard, I think it is impossible to find a mechanism to open the door here. It is estimated that the mechanisms in this cave are integrated. There must be a main switch inside. Only by turning on the main switch can the stone door at the exit be opened.
, let’s go down.”
When the bearded man heard what Chen Xiaofeng said, he felt a little guilty in his heart. He said to himself: Why do we still go down after we have defeated the strange insect? But now there is no other way to escape from the green insect skull hole, so we have to follow.
Chen Xiaofeng went down again to the cave where there was a ditch before.
At this time, I saw that the big strange insect had escaped into the shattered ditch where it came out. Then it disappeared, and a large ditch was burned on the ground by the yellow mucus it flowed out. Chen Xiaofeng and Big Beard arrived again
I looked around in the hole of the poisonous insect formation! This time it was really bad. The two of them searched the hole up and down, but they didn't find any way out. Could it be that this big monster insect had to shatter it?
Can we find a way out by going down the cave?
