Chapter 164: Blue Array(1/2)
With the help of will-o'-the-wisps, everyone took a closer look.
It was a colorful mural with a banner several meters long. It seems that due to the passage of time, the colors are no longer bright, some are mottled, and some are damaged.
But it is not difficult to see that the thing in the painting has several pairs of legs, a carapace, and tentacles...it is clearly some kind of insect.
Bai Wushang looked thoughtful.
When we walked before, we could see sporadic traces of artificial chiseling, which was the core reason why Jiang Feng determined that this place was a ruin.
However, there has never been such clear and tangible evidence.
"It seems that starting from here is the main part of the ruins..." Xue Zilin said to himself.
"But what can such a painting mean? Insects...insects..."
In the half-darkness, Bai Wushang and the others looked at each other thoughtfully.
It was originally thought that the insects in the ruins were doves snatching magpie nests and invading the interior as alien species.
But seeing such a mural, the credibility of this inference is very low.
Continuing forward, you can see new murals every tens of meters.
Each painting depicts insectoid creatures.
They come in different shapes and sizes, and most of them cannot be seen clearly.
Only a vague minority can identify their race.
"Fire beetles...earth-splitting spiders...mud earthworms..."
In the extraordinary world, the so-called Zerg does not only refer to insect-type creatures.
Spiders, earthworms, centipedes...these arthropod and crawling types are also covered.
It can be seen that the painter loves insect monsters very much, and every painting is carefully polished and painted.
It's a pity that it can't withstand the power of time after all.
While observing the murals, walk around in the maze-like passages.
Bai Wushang and others have faced many times the embarrassing situation of marching for half a day only to find that there is a dead end ahead.
But no one cared.
Because even in a dead end, it is still possible to find elixirs that are more than a hundred years old, or some rare ores or spiritual materials.
This is the charm of pioneering.
Money can make people happy.
If not, there must not be enough.
An unknown place means anything is possible.
Of course, Bai Wushang encountered dangers frequently.
From time to time, strange-shaped insects will emerge from dark corners and attack everyone.
For example, "green cyst maggot".
This is the evolution of the grease maggot.
After promotion, the flammable liquid oil in the body condenses into a green sac-like organ.
This kind of monster has no basic combat power. To say that it can fight against the five scum is to praise it.
However, any master with some knowledge would not want to encounter such an extraordinary creature in a narrow area.
This is because green cyst maggots are very timid and will launch a suicidal attack when provoked.
It will hug itself into a ball, rush in front of the enemy, and explode directly.
Use your life in exchange for the strongest blow!
It's really puzzling to like species that die together so much.
It is a miracle that it has not become extinct so far.
Bai Wushang also encountered the "Booming Cricket".
This guy has no other abilities except his loud voice.
Once frightened or in a hunting state, it will flap its wings and make a loud thunder-like sound.
The other side attacked first.
Bai Wushang was tens of meters apart, his ears trembled, his chest trembled, and his heart palpitated for a while before he regained his strength.
This is only a mid-mature animal.
If he were at the peak of his mature body, the least serious result of Bai Wu's injury would be deafness, vomiting of blood, and serious injury.
There are also phantom butterflies, bullet ants, jumping bees, wolf scorpions, zombie bugs... each one is more difficult to handle than the last.
Xue Zilin's Dreadclaw Bears were all seriously injured.
On the contrary, Sobina was at home in this place full of bugs.
Swamp Crocodile and Poison Dart Frog, when paired together, can restrain many negative states.
Countless monsters died in her hands.
The number of enemies killed always ranks first in the team.
Turned a corner.
Xue Zilin suddenly slowed down.
"Have you ever felt... getting colder?"
Bai Wushang nodded slightly.
The very small amount of skin that was exposed did have a frosty and cold texture.
It's like there is a snow cave and ice cellar in front of you, with a cold wind blowing.
An ordinary person would have been shivering from the cold and out of his mind.
"Be careful."
Xue Zilin frowned and summoned the giant golden eagle.
The space in the passage is limited, so the eagle cannot flap its wings and fly, so it can only transform into a free-roaming chicken.
Despite this, its combat power cannot be underestimated.
With just one sweep of its wings, it can crush a large swath of insects.
Walked for another hour.
The cold wind whizzes, coming and going.
The number of murals continues to decrease.
In turn, the passage changed from a natural stone cave to a regular artificial stone wall.
The walls are made of special bricks and tiles. They are square and thirty meters wide from top to bottom and can accommodate the passage of giant beasts.
Every ten meters, a fist-sized luminous bead is embedded in the wall to illuminate the passage.
Although the lights are not as bright as daylight, the visibility has improved to the point where there is no need to use lighting tools.
"This underground ruins is too complex and huge."
Sobina broke the silence, licked her lips, and showed a hint of excitement in her eyes:
"Those in front are all naturally formed caves, and they are also the best shelters."
"Only when we get here can the true secret of the ruins be revealed."
"What will be inside?"
Bai Wushang is also looking forward to it.
However, he also discovered that these artificial stone walls were not intact and were damaged in many places.
The most conspicuous thing is that there is an obvious collapse a hundred meters ahead, blocking most of the road.
"This ruins is very damaged."
Bai Wushang secretly thought: "Is it caused by wild beasts? Or is it because the quality is not high, and hundreds or thousands of years have passed, and it is difficult to escape the erosion of time? Well... maybe it's both."
An Xiaorou, who was walking in front, suddenly approached the wall and said:
"Look, there are blue lines here, which seem to be some kind of formation."
Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow and cautiously reached out to touch it.
"Indeed, it feels cold to the touch. The low temperature environment here is probably caused by this formation."
Accompanied by the giant golden eagle and the direclaw bear, Xue Zilin walked dozens of steps forward and said, "There are them here, too. They are everywhere."
"It's a pity...the color is too dim, it seems that it is about to disappear, and it will be broken into pieces soon..."
To be continued...
