Chapter 56 The Stone Insect King

At the beginning, it was just a very subtle whistling sound, which was also very blurry, and it was even easy to be confused with the sounds I heard in other channels before.︾ But soon, the whistling sound gradually became clear.

Shao Xuan remembered the story of Lang Ga telling him about a stone insect king insect in the mountain. He didn't believe it before. After all, so many hunting teams in the tribe passed by, he had never seen the legendary stone insect king insect. Even the statement passed down by the ancestors was just a guess.

There was indeed some whistling sound in the passage, which was the sound of the gas flowing when the wind blew in, but now, Shao Xuan could be sure that it was not the sound of the wind, and that whistling sound was approaching here.

Shao Xuan's body was tense, and he moved his legs gently to climb up the steep slope. The cave wall here was a little slippery than the path the hunting team was walking on, and it was even more difficult to climb. Shao Xuan didn't dare to use the stone knife now, for fear that the sound would alarm the stone insect king insect below. Mai and the others said that when walking in the cave, they should try to lighten the sound, as there was always their reason.

The whistling sound was already very close, much faster than Shao Xuan expected, and it was already approaching a lot in the blink of an eye.

The cave was a little humid, and the air had a smell similar to lime, and the smell was getting stronger and stronger. Shao Xuan could clearly feel the humidity in the cave, and a layer of extremely small water droplets were attached to the wall of the cave where he was climbing, which made the wall of the cave slipperier and made it more difficult to climb. Shao Xuan slid on his feet several times before he could stabilize it.

I can't climb any longer!

The hands that touch the hole wall can clearly feel the extremely slippery liquid between the palm and the hole wall. The same is true under the feet. It is not easy to be able to stay fixed in one place. If you relax a little, you may slide down the path.

Unexplainable!

Difficult to understand!!

The cave wall was obviously still good just now. Although it was a little slippery than the road I walked before and the slope was a little steep, with Shao Xuan's ability, it was not difficult to climb up along this road. But how long has it been? The changes in the cave wall were so big!

But at this moment, Shao Xuan could no longer think about it, and the rhythmic whistle almost rang below.

The place where he rolled down just now was flat, but after walking a few more steps, you can see the cave that continued to extend downward. Shao Xuan could only see a small section of the passage where he was. As for whether there were other roads below the passage, there were several roads. He couldn't know what to do if the person who came here was really the Stone Worm King Worm? What would he do if the Stone Worm King Worm came towards the passage where he was?

The five fingers used force, and the fingertips almost penetrated into the hole wall, but only that was the case, and it could not be too much. The stone here was very hard, and it might be possible to use the totem power to make some more use, but Shao Xuan did not dare to use it indiscriminately. Some high-level ferocious beasts were very sensitive to the totem power. No one used the totem power when Mai and the others walked in the cave before.

Shao Xuan maintained a posture of tying the hole wall. He was too nervous and his whole body was a little stiff. He didn't know if it was sweat or the water droplets gathered because of the moisture in the hole.

The cave was not stuffy and hot. On the contrary, whether it was because of the shade inside the cave or his own illusion, Shao Xuan always felt that the chill in the cave was getting worse and worse. The lime-like smell between his nose became stronger and stronger.

Looking up, the scene in your vision is also changing.

In Shao Xuan's vision, the color of the water droplets was white, which was different from the gray color of the surrounding cave walls. However, the whites soon covered the gray cave walls, and the coverage area quickly spread upwards along the cave walls, which means that all the cave walls above were the same as the cave walls that Shao Xuan was lying on now, and had the same changes.

Huh... Huh...

The sound was getting closer and closer and it rang below.

Accompanied by those whistling sounds, there are sliding sounds, like some creature squirming.

Shao Xuan quietly slid on the wall of the cave, carefully controlling his breathing and heartbeat, reducing his sense of existence, as if he had merged with everything in the cave. Even Lang Ga and the others stood here, they might not be able to notice Shao Xuan slid on the wall of the cave.

Listening to the sound below the hole, Shao Xuan thought that if the thing below really came here, he would have to sacrifice his strength. If his fingers couldn't hold the hole wall, he would use a knife! If a knife didn't work, add another spear! That way, he would always climb up, right?

Although he was dragged by the unknown insect, his equipment was still there. Even if the sound alarmed the thing, there was no way to escape. Escape was the most important thing.

In addition to the whistling sound, there are also sounds like heartbeat.

Dong...dong...dong...dong...

It was obviously not loud, but it sounded like a heavy hammer in my heart, hammering after hammer, making my chest rush blood.

Like the sound of a muffled drumbeat on a quiet battlefield, the silent caves seemed to shake with such a rhythm.

Pressure also follows.

Or, this can be called aura.

As if thick dark clouds were stacked up and pressed towards this side, Shao Xuan felt that breathing became extremely difficult. When he did not rely on the power of totem, his body strength was still worse.

Just as Shao Xuan listened to the sound of approaching and was about to use the power of totem to climb up, the whistling sound and the thunderous thunder gradually faded away.

It seems that there are other forks below this path, and fortunately, the stone insect king insect did not come to this path.

As the sound gradually faded away, Shao Xuan's muscles relaxed. In order to survive the short moment just now, he almost exhausted all his strength.

He didn't do anything, didn't fight, did nothing, just slid on the wall of the cave, but he was even more tired than when he was fighting against the black wind of the thorns. Because of this, Shao Xuan couldn't control his hands and loosened, and he slid down the angle against the wall of the cave, back to the place where he rolled down before.

Shao Xuan could hear his heart beating, and kept ringing like a small drum, and it took a while to recover.

As if he noticed something, Shao Xuan turned around and looked up at the cave wall that he had just been stalked. In his special field of view, the cave wall was originally covered with a layer of white, but now the white gradually receded, gradually changing from the distance to the cave, looking like the white spreading to the top of the cave was retracted toward this side again.

The humidity of the air in the cave gradually changed back to its original state, no longer so humid, and even the strong smell of lime just now gradually disappeared.

Feeling a little itchy on his face, Shao Xuan raised his head and touched it, rubbed off a layer of powder like rock crumbs, and a layer of hardness formed on both palms. When he moved his palms, he could feel a layer of stone falling.

When he thought of something, Shao Xuan crawled above the cave. Without the sticky liquid, climbing became much easier.

After carefully checking the hole wall, Shao Xuan found that when he was climbing up just now, the fingerprints he had picked out on the hole wall were completely gone, as if he had never crawled there.

No wonder the hunting team used to mark the hole, but when they left again, the traces disappeared, which seemed to be similar to what they had just encountered.

The cave returned to its original appearance, as if no creature had ever been here.

Shao Xuan did not go down, but went up the hole. He wanted to follow this path to see if he could return to the path where the hunting team was walking.

After finally climbing up the hole and looking around, Shao Xuan was stunned.

He should have cut the tentacles of the insects that dragged him over here at this place, but now, he has not seen the cut-off tentacles, no other insects, no eyeless spiders, no other sound, and no trace of struggle and drag around.

Everything in the cave seemed to have been restored!

In front of Shao Xuan, there were three holes, which looked exactly the same, and there was no trace of any other creatures' activity, so it was impossible to distinguish them.

Which hole was dragged from before?

After thinking about it carefully, Shao Xuan found that he could not recall it at all, and he didn't know which hole he should go into.

Taking a deep breath, Shao Xuan tightened his fists and cursed inwardly: "Fuck!"
