Huo Yu and the little wolf cub have a spiritual connection, and he reacted as early as the moment Xiao Yu discovered the abnormal situation.
"There is a situation, be alert!"
Huo Yu gave the order and immediately drew the Eagle Eye Bow from his back, turning it into a double-headed war blade across his chest.
Although Bai Xiaomo doesn't like to use her brain, her combat reflexes are top-notch. Her muscle memory reacted almost as soon as Huo Yu shouted, and she picked up the fire ax straddling her waist and assumed a fighting stance.
Although Ling Ran had just recovered, he still picked up two No. 36 scalpels from the medical kit hanging on his body and held them in his hands.
The scalpel is as thin as a cicada's wing. Although it is extremely sharp, it is also extremely fragile. Even the largest model with a No. 36 handle is not suitable for combat.
But weapons have to be differentiated. For Ling Ran, the scalpel is the most familiar thing. It can avoid the hard parts of the target, thus giving full play to its advantages.
The three of them had a tacit understanding and did not choose to use firearms. First, because the cave was small and bullets could easily bounce back and accidentally injure their own people.
The second reason is that if you shoot under unknown circumstances, you are likely to attract more enemies.
"Xiaoyu, what's going on?" Huo Yu held the war blade in his right hand and used a strong flashlight in his left hand to shine where Xiaoyu was looking, but he didn't find anything strange.
"Ouch~ (smells like living things, corrosion, unpleasant smell, moisture~)"
Huo Yu frowned. Could this smelly creature be a mouse or a bat?
The creatures in the cave are not clean and cute creatures, they are either weird-looking guys or living petri dishes of various bacteria and viruses.
And he didn't think the creatures that could make the little fish so wary would be ordinary mice or bats.
Even if they were once ordinary animals, they cannot be ordinary anymore due to the effect of absorbing high concentrations of oxygen all year round.
Rusty rustling——
Not far away, in the darkness of the cave, there was a sound similar to that of an animal crawling. This unknown sound made people's hair stand on end.
"Here we come, brothers, get ready to follow me!"
Huo Yu subconsciously clenched the war blade in his hand. Not only was he not nervous at all, but his voice was slightly excited.
This is the difference between people with strength and those without strength when facing unknown things.
People without strength will have inner fear and want to escape immediately out of distrust in themselves.
It's different for powerful people. A strong sense of curiosity surges into their hearts, and dopamine and endorphins are secreted crazily.
At this time, even if a ghost escapes, he will have to be slapped twice before leaving.
What could it be?
Huo Yu thought excitedly.
Giant bat? Ancient reptile? Or giant python?
No matter what it is, it must be a rare species. At this moment, Huo Yu actually feels like opening a blind box.
However, the next second, when Huo Yu saw clearly the whole creature rushing out of the darkness, this excitement disappeared instantly.
Instead, the blood all over his body rushed straight to the Tianling Cap, and the skin all over his body was instinctively covered with dense goose bumps.
What a cockroach! A giant cockroach!
The corner of Huo Yu's mouth twitched, and he staggered back several steps involuntarily with the enlarged little fish beside him.
Hissssss——
There were at least a dozen giant cockroaches, with a length of about one meter. Their oily carapace reflected a strange light under the reflection of the flashlight.
The huge mouthparts were pointed straight at the Huoyu. Two tentacles one and a half meters long stood proudly like spears, and there were dozens of legs under its smooth black abdomen!
Huo Yu felt chills, a dead fly stuck in his throat, and his scalp was numb.
Looking at those huge and ugly creatures that could barely be called cockroaches, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed ten thousand half-sectioned caterpillars alive.
"Brothers, come on!"
Huo Yu decisively took two steps back, and the Hawkeye Bow in his hand changed to look like a bow and arrow: "I will support you with firepower."
"Ouch~(Me too~)"
Although Bai Xiaomo and Ling Ran also felt fear in their hearts, they were not as scared as Huo Yu and forced themselves to take two steps forward.
The next second, the expressions of the two people changed drastically.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the carapace of the leading cockroach flipped over, and a pair of membranous transparent wings suddenly popped out.
In Huo Yu's desperate eyes, this one-meter-long monster cockroach soared into the air!
"My mother, she can fly!"
Huo Yu could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, raised the Eagle Eye Bow in his hand, and quickly bent the bow to unload the arrow.
Whoosh——
A special arrow flashing with red light flew over the heads of Bai Xiaomo and Ling Ran in front, and then landed accurately among the giant cockroaches.
boom--
The moment the arrow touched the giant cockroach, a coquettish red light flashed, and then a strong fire rose.
Exploding arrows!
The billowing heat wave swept over, and the three people plus a wolf and a bird turned their heads to avoid it. Such a bright fire may cause irreversible damage to human eyes.
"Damn it, Huo Yu, you should tell us." Bai Xiaomo complained as he glared at the shivering Huo Yu behind him.
At this moment, Huo Yu had no intention of arguing with her.
He wanted to see the result of the explosive arrow hitting the cockroach, but he didn't dare to see it. He could only cover his eyes and ask anxiously:
"How is it? How is it? Are those devils dead?"
The fire gradually extinguished, Bai Xiaomo turned around and looked deep into the smoke-filled cave, but could not find the giant cockroach for a while.
However, the air was filled with the smell of burnt protein, which was similar to the smell of roasted cicada pupae that Bai Xiaomo liked to eat.
But it was this familiar burnt smell that made Bai Xiaomo feel a little nauseous at the moment.
Although cicada pupae are also black, they look round and harmless to humans and animals, and even inexplicably cute.
But cockroaches are different. If anyone thinks this thing is cute, the only solution is to treat it as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible.
Huo Yu hid behind Xiao Yu, picked up the huge wolf tail to cover his face, and continued to ask with some trembling:
"How's it going? Are you dead or not?"
The enlarged wolf cub was also trembling a little, but had no choice but to stand in front of Huo Yu and hold on.
Xiaoyu: Don't block it with me, I'm afraid too.
Bai Xiaomo rolled his eyes and cautiously took two steps forward.
Finding that there seemed to be no movement in front of her, she turned back and asked Ling Ran beside her: "I don't think there seems to be any movement. Do you see anything?"
Ling Ran did not answer, but stared blankly in front of Bai Xiaomo.
A bad premonition immediately arose in Bai Xiaomo's heart. She took a deep breath and looked back suddenly.
In the thick smoke, a giant cockroach with its body surrounded by flames suddenly flew into the air. The pair of bug eyes that were enlarged in proportion due to its enlarged body were staring at it.
