In this airtight underground, once the poisonous mist spreads into the tunnel, no one will have anywhere to escape!
The designer of this tomb was really ruthless. From the very beginning, he wanted to put the intruders to death.
Even with this small amount of poisonous mist inhaled, anyone who responds in time will not be killed directly by it.
However, after the toxin penetrates into the nerves, it has a great impact on people's vision and reaction judgment.
Don’t forget, there are scorpions and strange wire mesh behind the corridor.
When people face the authorities in this state, they will inevitably become a meal for scorpions, or become corpses torn apart by wire mesh.
After all, not everyone who fights has Zhou Sheng's reaction and judgment, and can handle those two traps in advance.
Several people helped each other and finally ran farther and farther, successfully returning to the location of the gourd's abdomen.
Xiao Zhang, who was the least poisoned, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the scene in front of him.
In front of you is a particularly open area in the corridor. The walls are oval-shaped and narrow before and after.
And this oval ground was actually covered with dense black bugs!
Xiao Zhang was running and rubbing his eyes. After finally feeling his vision recovered, he looked forward and suddenly felt his scalp numb!
If there is a trypophobic patient here, he may not be able to stop screaming.
Although Xiao Zhang does not have trypophobia, he still felt nauseous and very uncomfortable when he saw this scene.
He stood blankly at one end of the oval, not daring to step forward, and even took two steps back involuntarily.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Wang asked.
Xiao Wang's immunity didn't seem to be as strong as Xiao Zhang's. At this moment, he still hadn't recovered his vision, but he could only hear a rustling sound in his ears.
He had heard this kind of sound before when he came here. But the sound now was obviously much louder than when he came here.
It seemed like something terrible had crawled to his feet!
Hearing Xiao Wang's voice, Xiao Zhang finally reacted. He looked at the scene in front of him intently, and his expression became strange.
Xiao Zhang said: "There are two kinds of bugs in front of us now. One is a slightly fatter scorpion, and the other has a round body, multiple legs, and a very hard black shell."
Xiao Zhang stretched out his palm and made a rough estimate: "It's about half the size of a palm..."
Xiao Wang couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and said with a trembling voice: "From your description, it looks so much like the corpse crickets commonly seen in novels."
"Is there a possibility that he is the corpse?" Liu Ruyan reached out and patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder.
Xiao Wang was so frightened that he almost threw the professor in his hand.
Because of his old age, the professor's immunity has declined, and he is currently in the worst condition among them.
He seemed to be unable to hear the voices of people discussing, and had lost his judgment. He was in a state of confusion. It was only thanks to the support of Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang that he did not fall to the ground.
In just a short moment, countless novel fragments describing corpse crickets had appeared in Xiao Wang's mind.
Moreover, all he thought about was the horrible condition of his skin after being entangled by corpse crickets, and the pain of being bitten by such a thing.
It wasn't until Liu Ruyan made a joke that Xiao Wang came back to his senses. He later realized that Xiao Zhang seemed to be very calm when he described the appearance of the corpse just now.
Since they still had time to joke and describe, and did not run away, it means that although the corpse crickets are in front of them, they will not cause harm to them.
Xiao Wang couldn't help but asked curiously: "What happened?"
He tried his best to open his eyes, and two more hot tears rolled down his eyes, but the scene in front of Xiao Wang did not become clear at all.
Xiao Zhang answered for him: "I feel like I'm hallucinating. Corpses and scorpions seem to be fighting..."
Xiao Zhang didn't know if he was too deeply poisoned and had hallucinations. He also thought that maybe corpse crickets and scorpions had crawled on his body at this moment, but he was trapped in hallucinations and couldn't feel the pain.
But in other words, if these dense insects really attack him, there is nothing he can do!
He could only let his flesh and blood be torn apart bit by bit with pliers and eaten by corpse crickets.
It was a dead end anyway, but Xiao Zhang calmed down and was able to describe the scene in front of him with great interest.
"The scorpion's pincers are very powerful and can hold down the hard shell of the corpse cricket, making it unable to move. However, the corpse crickets seem to know how to cooperate. After one corpse cricket is restricted from moving, several others will immediately crawl on it.
Pass and bite off the joint of the scorpion's pincers."
"However, the venom of this scorpion seems to be extremely powerful. Those corpse scorpions caught by the pliers often lose the ability to move after a few struggles. They stay in place motionless and allow other things to climb up and down its body.
.”
In Xiao Zhang’s description, Xiao Wang seemed to have seen such a scene.
Xiao Wang rubbed his eyes again, somewhat regretting that he could not see such a magical scene.
Xiao Zhang continued: "Generally speaking, the two parties are currently evenly matched."
Xiao Zhang had a feeling that as long as the scorpions and corpse crickets were still fighting, they should be able to stay in front of this oval field safely and there would be no danger for the time being.
However, they can only stay in front of the venue and have no way to go.
Behind is the tomb chamber where the toxin comes from. In front, thousands of terrifying bugs have covered the ground. They have nowhere to set foot!
Let alone pass through it.
But staying here is no different from waiting to die. After all, the poisonous fog will spread sooner or later, and their poisoning will only get deeper and deeper.
This colorless, odorless, extremely penetrating poison has nowhere to hide.
On the other side, Qi Ziyu, who was being carried by Zhou Sheng, recovered quickly. He could blurryly distinguish the scene in front of him, and also regained the ability to control his limbs, and could walk on his own.
Qi Ziyu was also startled by the dense insects. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Why are these two things fighting?"
When most people see corpse crickets and scorpions, they will only regard them as creatures derived from the tomb. No one would think that corpse crickets were put in by people.
Xiao Zhang said: "Who knows, different species may have differences, right? The same species can also fight to the death."
"Too."
The oval field was already filled with corpses, and almost all of these corpses were dismantled and scattered, like broken parts everywhere.
But who knows whether the mountain of piled corpses on the battlefields of humankind's past will be even more miserable than the scene in front of them.
After a brief moment of surprise, Qi Ziyu quickly said: "I remembered which step I did wrong just now!"
