Chapter 55: Gold Devouring Insect Tide

Chapter 55: Gold Devouring Insect Tide
Everyone looked at each other.

a long time,

Finally someone spoke up: "Master Xu, you're not saying that we have to walk over these stone slabs, are you?!"

The person who spoke was the fat man.

He looked at the stone slabs with an extremely grim expression: "Damn it, how can I walk on these stone slabs? Won't the stone slabs fall off if I step on them? Not to mention that I have to jump forward one by one. I feel dizzy just looking at them."

The fat man was talking about the abyss under the stone slab.

Many people know that he is afraid of heights.

Seeing this, Xu Feng smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Fatty. I'll go up and show you an example."

"Lao Hu, find an anchor point and secure it."

"it is good."

After Lao Hu set the anchor and tied the rope, Xu Feng also tied the rope around his waist.

"If I fall, remember to hold me!"

Xu Feng joked.…

Lao Hu and the others nodded: "Don't worry, Master Xu."

Xu Feng stood beside the abyss, stretched his arms and legs, took a few deep breaths, and finally checked the rope.

The others looked at him anxiously.

Especially Shirley Yang and Aning, the concern in their eyes could not be concealed at all.

"I'm leaving!"

After Xu Feng finished speaking, he leaped onto the first stone slab.

"Ah~~~!"

Shirley Yang exclaimed.

Then Xu Feng was seen standing steadily on the first stone slab.

The stone slab was as solid as a mountain, it didn't even shake.

Xu Feng jumped and stomped his feet fearlessly, but the stone slab remained motionless.

He said to the fat man and the others, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with this stone slab."

"But don't worry, wait until I get over there and tie a rope for you to protect yourself. Otherwise, if you accidentally fall down, it will be a big loss."

As he spoke, Xu Feng strode on the stone slabs and ran towards the other side.

soon.

Xu Feng stepped on the last stone slab, crossed the chasm, and reached the cave on the opposite mountain wall.

He hit an anchor point on the wall, took the rope from his waist and tied it to the anchor point.

After the rope bridge is straightened.

He shouted, "Okay, you can come over now."

There is a rope bridge.

It is indeed much safer.

Soon, everyone passed the suspended stone slab smoothly.

Everyone move on.

The cave here is no different from the cave over there, it's just a long and narrow corridor.

while walking.

Aning suddenly pointed at a bulge on the mountain wall and said.

"Look, what are these?"

Aning's discovery attracted everyone's attention.

They looked at the bulge that Aning had discovered. Its color was almost exactly the same as the mountain wall, and it would be difficult to spot if you didn't look carefully.

"There's some here too!"

Shirley Yang said.

Everyone looked and saw that there was also one found on the cliff on her side.

“There seems to be more and more ahead.”

Xu Feng pointed the high-intensity flashlight at the corridor ahead.

I saw that the corridor was not wide to begin with.

It can accommodate up to two people walking side by side.

But now there are these bulges on the mountain wall, which immediately take up a lot of space.

Not to mention making the corridor even narrower.

Those bulges look particularly strange and give people a very bad feeling.

"What the hell are these? They look like feces in the intestines."

Lao Hu took out his small striker.

It pierced deeply into the bulge.

As a result, sticky blue pus flowed out from the puncture wound.

It was as if a boil had been squeezed and burst.

"Eh~~~What the hell are these?"

"Oh my god! Why does it stink so bad?!"

"This taste is really sour and refreshing, it's intoxicating!"

"Everyone hold your breath, this smell might be poisonous!"

Following Xu Feng's instructions.

Everyone shut their mouths and immediately moved away from the abscess.

"Wait, look, there seems to be something moving in this bulge?!"

Aning said with sharp eyes.

The fat man was immediately frightened. "Oh my god, this bulge could be a bug nest?!"

"Fatty, what you said is not impossible!"

Xu Feng said solemnly: "If there really are bugs in there, we will be in danger..."

Each of these bulges is almost as big as a camel's hump.

If there are bugs hidden inside, no matter they are small or big, it will be a big trouble!

Xu Feng held the strong flashlight in his hand against the wall and shone it on the bulge from the side. As a result, some light penetrated the bulge and illuminated the situation inside.

You can see that there are many leech-like insects crawling inside.

at this time.

The bulge that was pierced by Lao Hu suddenly exploded from the gap.

Sticky blue pus splattered everywhere.

The pus dripped onto the ground, making a sizzling sound, and a light blue smoke slowly rose up.

Seeing this, everyone gasped.

Such strong corrosiveness!
I’m afraid it’s even more powerful than aqua regia!
Fortunately, they had all retreated to avoid the stench, otherwise if the pus splashed on their bodies, it would have corroded them directly and left a hole.

"Ugh~~~ I can't take it anymore, it stinks so bad!"

The fat man burped.

Shirley Yang and Aning couldn't stand it anymore, they covered their noses and ran away.

Zhang Qiling covered his nose and shone the flashlight on the ground.

As the drum exploded.

In addition to the splattering pus, all the bugs inside fell to the ground.

These bugs are gray, fat, and have two tentacles, just like snails without their shells.

The weird thing is, even though their bodies were covered in pus, there was nothing wrong with them. They just looked extremely disgusting, like a pool of snot.

They were moving very fast. In just a short while, they had dispersed and were constantly wriggling.

There was a "sizzling" sound during the crawling process.

"Be careful with these bugs, their bodies are corrosive."

Old Hu reminded, holding a flashlight.

"Need I tell you?! Can't you give some constructive suggestions, like how to kill these disgusting slugs?"

The fat man looked at the bugs with disgust.

Even gave them names.

You know what, it’s quite vivid.

At this time, a slug had crawled to the fat man's feet, and it seemed that its target was the fat man.

The fat man had sharp eyes and caught a glimpse of it.

He stepped on it hard.

Haw!

Just stomped on the slug and burst it.

The fat man snorted coldly: "You little brat, you still dare to look for me?!"

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and wiped the sole of his shoe on the ground beside him.

Then within two seconds.

The fat man suddenly exclaimed: "Fuck!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and they curiously looked towards the ground following his gaze.

I saw that the insect that was crushed by the fat man was still wriggling. They seemed to have consciousness and were wriggling towards each other. When several small bodies wriggled together, they would merge into one large body.

Not long after, the insect corpse that was crushed into pieces actually merged into a new slug.

Then a horrifying scene appeared.

The slug had no head at this time, as its head had just been stepped on and exploded.

I saw that the slimy body suddenly grew a head again, as if a broken limb had been regenerated, and the head still had tentacles.

It seemed as if it was not used to the new head and was shaking in place.

Then continue crawling towards the fat man's feet.

The fat guy’s scalp tingled after seeing this!

He stomped on it again and it exploded.

This time, he even crushed it hard with the sole of his shoe, as if he was putting out a cigarette butt.

Others also felt their scalps bursting when they saw this.

It was Xu Feng who spoke up and urged everyone to leave quickly.

"Let's go! These bugs are just like earthworms. They can regenerate their bodies, and they clearly have the intention to attack. We will be exhausted to death here."

Everyone ran towards the front of the corridor.

"Fuck! Where do these weird bugs come from? They're so weird!" The fat man cursed as he ran.

"I don't know. They should be bred by the people of the ancient Jingjue country. The bulges on the mountain walls are their breeding chambers. The pus is like amniotic fluid. I didn't expect that they would have such a strong desire to attack as soon as they were born."

Xu Feng guessed.

Zhang Qiling spoke up: "I do know a little about this kind of insect."

"There are some records about it in some historical books from the Warring States period. It is called the gold-eating insect. It likes magnetite and precious metals as food. It has a strong vitality and its life span is endless. Once it ages, it will differentiate into new individuals, just like the phoenix reborn from the ashes."

"People in the Warring States period discovered this characteristic of Smurfs and thought they represented rebirth, so they worshipped them very much. Some people who pursued immortality even worshipped them as gods."

"Later, some kings and nobles would cultivate this kind of insect in their own tombs."

"Not only because they represent rebirth, but also because these insects have a strong sense of territory and will actively attack any creature that invades their territory."

"So they also make an excellent grave-guarding animal."

"Aren't they invincible? As long as they continue to reproduce, won't they become the overlords of the earth sooner or later?!"

the fat man asked.

Zhang Qiling shook his head. "They also have weaknesses. They are very afraid of the sun. As long as they encounter a little sunlight, the pus on their bodies will instantly vaporize. Without the protection of the pus, they will immediately be dried up. Therefore, they can only live underground or in some dark ancient cemeteries. This is why few people know about them."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but marvel at the magic of the Creator, that there were such miraculous insects in the world.

At the same time, I can't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunately, these insects are afraid of sunlight, otherwise the earth would really be ruled by them.

"I say, stop talking and speed up, or we'll become their food."

Xu Feng suddenly said.

It turned out that the bulges on both sides of the mountain wall began to explode one after another, countless gold-eating bugs fell to the ground, and a tide of bugs appeared in the entire corner.

At the same time, a stench that suffocated the brain began to spread in the corridor.

Xu Feng and the other two immediately began to hold their breath.
