Just when I was wondering, the "jewel" started to move slowly.
"Holy shit, this thing actually moves," Weizi shouted, and immediately pointed the gun at the "gem."
Ouyang Yi stared at the "jewel" for a while, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and said in surprise: "This... this can't be a giant corpse beetle, right?"
"What," Wen Qingshan and I shouted almost in unison.
"Dr. Ouyang, don't scare me,"
Ouyang Yi said in a serious tone: "I'm not kidding. According to classical records, corpse beetles are a gregarious species. Their living habits are actually somewhat similar to ants. Among their populations, there is often a huge queen. According to me, Look, this thing is probably the queen of the corpse beetle swarm,"
As soon as Ouyang Yi finished speaking, the huge "jewel" suddenly raised its upper body. When we took a closer look, we couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It turned out to be a corpse beetle.
Because of its huge size, almost every detail on its head can be seen clearly. The pair of large jaws at the corners of its mouth are more than a foot long and are opening and closing rapidly, making people shudder.
Without saying a word, Chen Biao picked up the gun, pointed it at the giant corpse beetle, and pulled the trigger. Unexpectedly, the bullet hit the hard back shell of the corpse beetle, but only left a concave mark on its back shell. Can penetrate.
Chen Biao used a special mercury gun. It was said to be very powerful, much stronger than an ordinary pistol, and almost as powerful as a rifle. But now that it could not penetrate the monster's back, Chen Biao couldn't help being surprised: "Why is the shell of this thing so hard?"
He shouted angrily: "I don't believe I can't hit you," and after saying that, he snatched the automatic rifle from Weizi's hand and fired a bunch of bullets at the giant corpse beetle.
Relatively speaking, the automatic rifle is more powerful than the pistol, and the rate of fire is much faster. The giant corpse beetle was hit by continuous bullets and immediately let out an extremely harsh scream.
The sound was obviously beyond the range that human ears can bear. I suddenly felt a stinging sensation in my ears. If the helmets we were wearing had not covered our ears and somewhat blocked the sound, I doubt that the sound was enough to hurt my eardrums. A perforation occurs.
Before we could calm down, the corpses and remains in the tomb suddenly began to stir. Everyone looked around and were shocked. Unexpectedly, the corpse beetles that were hiding under the corpses all started to move, as if they had received some order. Drilled out.
Ouyang Yi was shocked and said: "No, these corpse beetles must have come out to protect their queen,"
When Chen Biao heard this, he immediately stopped shooting.
Hundreds of corpse beetles swarmed towards us from all directions and soon surrounded us. However, they did not dare to get too close because they were afraid of the bright light from our helmets.
Looking at the dark swarm of corpse beetles in front of me, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I didn't dare to neglect, and quickly raised the Tiangang Demon Mirror high. Ouyang Yi also immediately twisted his cane, and the top of the cane lit up again with a red light.
I don't know if it was an illusion caused by being too nervous, but I felt that the red light seemed a little weaker than before.
I raised the Tiangang Demon Mirror behind the red light, and a red light was immediately reflected out. The corpse beetles illuminated by the red light dodged one after another, but this time they did not flee in all directions like just now, even if they were caught by the red light. They dispersed, but within a moment they gathered together again.
"Holy shit, these things seem to have become more vicious," I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Wen Qingshan said: "Social species tend to be fearless and more aggressive when protecting their queens," Wen Qingshan said.
"Then they won't rush through," I said worriedly.
"It's hard to say. In a sense, this tomb can be regarded as the territory of the corpse beetle. In nature, if the ant nest is invaded by natural enemies, the soldier ants will fight to the death to protect the queen bee, even if it means death. If these The corpse beetles feel that we pose a threat to their queen, and even this red light cannot stop them," Wen Qingshan replied.
Ouyang Yi nodded and said to Long Yi without looking back: "Long Yi, don't worry so much, hurry up and find a way to open the stone door. It's important that we leave here first."
Long Yi immediately turned around and continued to play with the Bagua mechanism on the side of the stone gate.
The swarm of corpse beetles is gathering more and more, and I don’t know where they came from. Although the swarm did not launch an attack, looking at the countless corpse beetles waving their jaws in front of them, even the bravest people will inevitably feel a little bit. tremble.
Everyone held their breath and no one dared to move rashly. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the giant corpse beetle suddenly let out another ear-piercing scream, and the group of corpse beetles suddenly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. No longer afraid of the bright light, they swarmed towards us.
At this moment, we heard a "bang", the stone door behind us opened, and Long Yi shouted: "Let's go quickly,"
Everyone hurriedly retreated into the stone gate. Ouyang Yi and I were standing at the front. As a result, we became the last ones when we retreated. Before I could cross the stone gate, several corpse beetles had already crawled up to me. on the calf.
I hurriedly raised my leg and swung it away, but as soon as I got rid of the few corpse beetles, more corpse beetles crawled onto my legs, and some of them had already started to tear my pants with their large jaws.
Although I was wearing a bulletproof vest on my upper body, my lower body was wearing ordinary pants. I had no choice but to run wildly and slap the corpse beetles that crawled on me with my hands. But before I even slapped them a few times, I felt a sharp pain in my calf. It was as if the muscles had been forcibly torn.
I screamed in pain, my heart became anxious, and I didn't know where the strength came from. I kicked my feet violently, my body rose into the air, and I jumped into the air.
The moment my body fell to the ground again, I felt a strong airflow burst out from my body. This airflow quickly spread to the surroundings. The corpse beetles surrounding my body were impacted by this airflow and let out a burst of air. One after another screams.
After the air flow dissipated, I looked around again and was stunned. I saw that most of the corpse beetles had turned belly up and were motionless. Only a small number were left struggling to die.
In any case, I never thought that things would change so dramatically and what exactly happened.
I was stunned for a while and could not recover. I was in a daze when suddenly there was a movement in front of me. I immediately looked up and broke out in a cold sweat. The giant corpse beetle was actually fine.
It was obviously irritated, and after letting out a piercing hiss, it quickly swooped towards me with its big jaws waving. I didn't dare to neglect it, so why did I put the dragon's fangs across my chest?
The giant corpse beetle was extremely fast. As soon as I got into position, it rushed in front of me, and a pair of giant jaws like iron pliers clamped towards my head. I quickly tilted my head back and hid. After this fatal blow, it straightened its pair of giant jaws and pushed forward. The tip of the giant jaws hit my chest. My body immediately staggered and I almost fell. Fortunately, my upper body Wear a bulletproof vest, otherwise the giant jaws will make a hole in your chest.
The giant corpse beetle didn't give me a chance to breathe. It quickly pounced on me before I could stand upright. I quickly grasped the dragon's teeth and pierced one of its shiny black eyes. It just happened to raise its head, and this time it hit its hard and huge jaw. My wrist was immediately sore from the shock, and the dragon's tooth in my hand almost fell out of my hand.
I hurriedly took two steps back, and the giant corpse beetle also quickly came forward. This monster's strength was amazing. If I continued to confront it head-on, not only would I have no chance of winning, but I might also be attacked by it at any time. A pair of giant jaws killed it instantly, and I quickly rolled on the spot, intending to get behind it and wait for an opportunity to attack its weak spot.
Unexpectedly, although this monster was very large, it moved very quickly. It turned around immediately, giving me no chance to get behind it.
At this moment, Wen Qingshan returned to the tomb chamber. He held the Dragon-Severing Slash, shouted, and slashed at the back of the giant corpse beetle.
Just hearing a "clang" sound, Wen Qingshan was shocked and took two steps back, but the corpse beetle seemed unscathed and continued to chase me.
I didn't dare to fight with him head-on, so I had to dodge left and right.
Soon everyone else returned to the tomb. Seeing that I was being chased by a giant corpse beetle, Chen Biao immediately picked up his automatic rifle and was about to shoot. Ouyang Yi quickly stopped him and said, "Don't shoot. The shell of that monster is extremely hard. Not only can it not penetrate its back shell, but it may also injure Brother Shi Yu,"
Seeing that I was about to be overtaken by a giant corpse beetle, I happened to step on the corpse of a corpse beetle. I immediately slipped and fell to the ground. The giant corpse beetle suddenly jumped on me.
Its legs tightly wrapped around my body, and it swung its giant jaws toward my head.
The inner layer of the pair of giant jaws was covered with sharp serrations, which looked even more shocking up close. I wanted to get away, but my body was fixed by its powerful legs and I couldn't move at all.
I thought I was doomed this time, but unexpectedly, the giant corpse beetle's giant jaws, like iron pincers, were clamped on the helmet.
This helmet is made of special bulletproof materials. Although it is light, it can block powerful bullets fired at close range. Although the attack power of the giant corpse beetle is very powerful, it will not crush the helmet.
It tightly clamped my helmet with one of its giant jaws, and it looked like it would not stop until my helmet was crushed.
This actually gave me a chance to breathe. I took the opportunity to free up a hand, clenched the dragon's fang, and pierced the giant corpse beetle's dark eyeball.
