Chapter 44 Unexpected reunion

I said, "If you want to survive, just listen to me." Zhuanrui knew the habit of corpse nest insects. This insect was not easy to kill, but one habit was that it was afraid of heat. Although there was no fire under the cauldron, there was a white air at the top, and there was probably a universe inside the cauldron. As expected, as soon as we approached the cauldron, we felt a heat.

Many protruding ghost shapes were cast on the surface of the round tripod, which was very easy to climb. Everyone approached the big tripod and left the ground in two or three steps. When they looked down, they saw that the corpse nest insects did not dare to approach the big tripod, and they only surrounded us around.

Gu Wenmin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that there is it."

Zhuanji shook his hair, his hair tip was covered with sweat, and he said panting: "Why does this tripod get hot on its own? Could it be that there is coal inside?"

At this moment, our group was surrounded by the cauldron like a pancake, and it was very uncomfortable to go up or down, so I said, "Climb up first, let's talk about whether the coal has been put up, and you'll know if it's time to go up and take a look." It's not that everyone just hung in the air. They immediately started climbing up in three or two steps, and reached the top of the cauldron in a moment.

This tripod is very thick, without a lid, and has ears on all sides. This is the first time I have seen this kind of four-eared tripod. Because the tripod is relatively thick, after climbing up, everyone sat on the edge of the tripod. At this time, we looked inside the tripod and wanted to see what the mystery was. Who knew that at first glance, we saw a pot of rolling yellow soup under the white fog, which seemed to be burned by a fire, rolling with bubbles of water.

This is so strange. There is no fire under the cauldron. How is this big cauldron heated? What is the cooking in this cauldron?

Everyone was surprised and couldn't say anything for a moment. Tofu was not very interested in this, so he looked down and said, "It's over, these corpse nest insects seem to be very interested in us, what should I do?" I looked down and saw those corpse nest insects surrounding the cauldron. Once we got off the ground, these things would definitely pounce on us.

Fortunately, we can free up our hands now, so we are not afraid of them, because the equipment that Zhuanrui carries includes modified high-pressure muskets, one of which is scattered, and these things are immediately burned to nowhere. Needless to say, Zhong Gong has taken out the musket from the equipment bag and pushed the gas bullet under the musket in. Then, a straight tongue of flame ejected from the musket.

There was an adjustable switch under the musket. Zhong Gong immediately adjusted the switch to the maximum. In an instant, the flames ejected out, reaching five or six meters. A wave of heat rushed in. The corpse nest bug below suddenly burned into pieces, without even a sound. After a circle of strafing, except for some escaped fish, there was no residue left on the original ground.

Zhong Gong turned off the musket, clapped his hands, and said, "It's solved."

Tofu seemed very admiring and said to me: "Good guy, this weapon is more effective than pesticides. If we can get one in the future, the safety factor will be greatly improved." This kind of musket that can be carried with you and filled with gas bombs is a military device, and the general army does not have it yet. Zhuanrui also carries high-quality imitations in the underworld. Since the demand is relatively small, it is expensive and unmarked most of the time. It is not so easy to get it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but recall the top-level equipment carried by the mutes. It was obvious that it was not a folk move. I don't know where the mute went after taking the Liuhe Seal.

At this time, the corpse nest bugs were also dealt with. We sat on the edge of the cauldron, and the heat rushed straight towards our bodies. It was not very good. Even if we planned to go down, but at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the distance of the open space filled with thick fog. I don’t know what it was. Zhuanrui immediately gestured to us and signaled to turn off the light source. In an instant, the headlights were turned off at the same time, and the surroundings were suddenly in a darkness. In this darkness, I thought I could not see anything, but at this moment, countless phosphorus fires rose floating on the open space!

Phosphorus fire, also known as ghost fire among the people, often appears among the cemeteries. It is said that because a large number of dead people gather in the cemetery, the human bones decompose and produce a large amount of phosphorus, so sometimes phosphorus fire will be formed. The colors of phosphorus fire are also different, some are blue, and some are rare purple. People in the past did not know about it, but thought it was ghost fire.

At this moment, due to the light and dark ghost fires floating in the air, even if we extinguished the headlights, the surrounding environment was not in the dark. We were shocked and thought, why did so many ghost fires suddenly appear? Are there many dead people in this place? Before we could react, we saw the black shadow in the distance getting closer and closer. In a miserable green light, we gradually saw that thing clearly.

When Tofu saw it, she suddenly took a breath and said, "It's Xiao Jing."

I saw that the black shadow was Xiao Jing, but she did not come over, but was like something was transported by us. She was lying flat on her face, touching her body about one meter away from the ground, and under her body, she could vaguely see a pile of black things, but she herself was in a coma.

I was shocked and thought to myself that Xiao Jing was not swallowed by a poisonous snake? This is naturally a good thing, but now is she dead or alive? What was the thing that transported her here? What was the dark thing under her body?

These thoughts flashed through my mind quickly. Soon, I saw Xiao Jing, who was unconscious, gradually getting closer and closer to us, and was coming to where we were. To be precise, it seemed to be coming to this big cauldron.

Tofu was right next to me, and he didn't dare to show up. He whispered to me, "What should I do now?"

I turned my mind a little. Although I wanted to go down and find out, my experience told me that at this time, I should not act recklessly. I had to observe clearly what was under Xiao Jing's body. So I gestured to everyone and signaled not to act rashly, and to wait and see what happened first.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. Xiao Jing's hand suddenly moved, and then the whole person began to move, his hands and feet struggling, and the things below her immediately rushed out with her movements. Only then did we see clearly that the originally moving Xiao Jing was actually four animals like monkeys.

The thing was covered in black hair, about one meter high, with long hands hanging down the ground. Xiao Jing was obviously still alive. As soon as the four things dispersed, she immediately wanted to get up, and was in a hurry, obviously trying to escape. At this time, I didn't care. I shouted Xiao Jing's name and saw Xiao Jing turn around and suddenly see us. A trace of surprise flashed across her face, tears came out, and she turned around and ran towards us.

I immediately asked Tofu and others to go down to save people, and Zhong Gong and Gu Wenmin stayed on the tripod because the team had the most accurate marksmanship. They were pressing the formation at a high place. If there was an emergency, it would be better to take care of it in time. The rest of us got off the ground in three or two steps and rushed towards Xiao Jing. When the four furry things saw so many people suddenly appearing, they were obviously frightened. They did not start a fierce battle as we wanted, but ran away in all directions, with a very fast body shape and soon disappeared into the thick fog.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Before I could come back to my senses, Xiao Jing rushed into my arms and hugged me without letting go. If I had to put this in my usual situation, Tofu next to me, as a loyalist who was a beautiful woman, must have to stop him. At this moment, he just touched his nose. It was probably because of the previous incident, so he didn't say anything.

I felt the person in my arms trembling. Although I had no affection for Xiao Jing, I felt really wronged when I thought of her, a woman, who followed me here and encountered a series of things before, so I didn't push the person away. I patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's safe, thank God, you're still alive."

Xiao Jing calmed down for a moment, wiped her tears, and said, "Why are you here?" She looked around again and said, "Where is this?"

Tofu said, "You don't know where this is?"

Xiao Jing shook her head.

Tofu asked again: "How did you get rid of that poisonous snake?" This was the point of asking. We were all very surprised. How did she, a weak woman, survive in that environment at that time?

After we finished speaking, we saw Xiao Jing look confused. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I kept running and finally got swept up by it. It was very powerful, and I fainted. When I woke up, I was in an open space with fog everywhere, and I couldn't see any building, and there was no one. I, I thought I was dead."

There is no building, no people, only fog? Isn’t it the place now? Did the big snake put her here?

Tofu obviously felt strange, and touched her chin and said, "What about?"

According to Xiao Jing's description, when she woke up, she even thought she was dead and was frightened. She was spinning around in this place alone. Soon, the power of the headlight became very weak. At the moment when the light was extinguished, she was knocked down by something from behind, and she felt a numbness on the back of her neck and fainted again. When she woke up, she found that she was being carried away by something, so she struggled.

The situation she described was really weird. If what she said was true, wouldn’t that poisonous snake go the same way as us? In that case, why didn’t we meet it?

Zhuanrui thought about it, raised his chin and signaled to Xiao Jing, "We have been delayed for a long time in Chen Siyuan and the others' landing. The poisonous snake's ability to move faster than us, so she should have arrived at this place a long time ago."

Tofu shivered and said, "Will that poisonous snake still wander around this place?"

Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be. I have been wandering around this place for a long time and haven't encountered it before. This place is very big." I nodded. In the map drawn by my grandfather, the second palace was round, like a muzzle. The hollow area in the middle covers a very large area. He drew an S-shaped image, so Xiao Jing's words should be true.

In this way, the behavior of the poisonous snake seemed very strange. After catching Xiao Jing, why didn’t you eat it?
