People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 205 It’s a coincidence

The middle-aged man's words seemed to be filled with emotion, but in fact there were no emotional fluctuations in his words, and there was no response.

The sturdy young man in front of him remained silent, while the people next to him seemed to have heard nothing, without even a trace of expression fluctuation, as if they were robots.

The atmosphere fell into silence. After a while, the middle-aged man named Jiuye gently rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Let's go, we are still far from our destination."

"Yes!" The sturdy young man responded without hesitation.

Although the people next to him did not respond, they responded directly with actions.

They divided a third of them to explore the way, and the rest carefully guarded Jiuye's side. In this way, the group slowly stepped into deeper darkness.

Chen Ziyan, who was currently in the underground passage, looking for the next suitable place, had no idea what was happening here.

Little did he know that everything he thought he had mastered had already gone wrong in Gulan County.

Several groups of people who came after him from the capital were quietly stolen before they stepped out of Gulan County.

In fact, it is a coincidence that this group of people who quietly replaced the pursuers were actually just planning to take a short rest in Gulan, but they did not expect to meet their colleagues from afar, so after figuring out the purpose of these colleagues, they

, Jiuye, who is the core of the team, simply had a Li Daitao standoff.

I want to use this method to temporarily delay the pursuit of the pursuers.

The thing that Mr. Jiu is best at in his life is layout, and he has always pursued safety in doing things. Now that he is in a desperate situation, he wants to go in the opposite direction and subvert his previous style of doing things. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.

Even if there is no harvest, it should still cause some trouble to the enemy.

He only needs to delay the pursuers for a while, and then when they reach where they want to go, they can make the next step of the plan and let him complete the last step of the plan.

This also means that this group of people will not sabotage what they are doing, or try to leave through the entrance they opened, as they thought.

All they need is to use the underground passages here to go as deep into the Qinling Mountains as possible, and then go find what they want to find.

As for how to get out of this underground place, never underestimate professional tomb robbers. They can dig a way out of any place you don't expect.

And just when these people left this area, Chen Ziyan and others on the other side also successfully found a place suitable for building fortifications.

This is an extremely spacious space. The specific area is unknown for the time being, but the height is estimated to be at least ten meters away.

Chen Ziyan stood in the passage some distance away from the exit, holding a searchlight and looking at the space in front of him, and couldn't help but frown deeply.

The artificial traces here are too strong!

The ground you see is all neatly laid bluestone slabs, and in the center is a road paved with black stone slabs, which seems to lead to the end of this space.

I don't know if it's an anomaly in this space or if there's some special arrangement. In short, the effect of the searchlight is greatly reduced and it cannot illuminate the end of the road.

At the same time, it is too clean here.

Along the way, they passed through many passages, and they encountered creatures other than human-faced black clams. The most common ones were bats living in this complex underground.

Although these bats have no other abilities, they can make the ground very unsanitary, and there are many places where their excrement is even everywhere.

But the underground space in front of me is different.

It can be said that apart from the dust falling on the stone slabs, there is no longer any dirt.

At least, Chen Ziyan hasn't seen any of it so far.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

Chen Ziyan knew this very well, so now he would rather stand in the passage and look hard at it than rush inside to take a closer look.

Hu Bayi also noticed something was wrong, and said with some palpitations: "It's so clean here that it makes people feel scared."

At this time, Shirley Yang said: "Using the logical analysis of animal behavior, this sign is explaining one thing, that is, there is a certain or some powerful creature entrenched here. Only in this way other creatures will not intrude.

."

"Powerful creatures? The most powerful ones here are the big spiders, right?" Wang Kaixuan glanced at the seemingly endless empty space in front of him, and subconsciously said: "Isn't this where the ancestors of those big spiders stayed?"

After hearing his speculation, although Chen Ziyan and others did not express their stance immediately, their faces became a little solemn.

If there really was a black-faced cockroach here, its size would probably exceed their imagination.

After briefly recalling the original plot in his mind, Chen Ziyan quickly found a matching memory.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the location of the temple dedicated to the black-faced cockroach.

At the same time, there are indeed many giant black turtles with human faces occupying the area.

In his memory, the black-faced turtles here were all very big, and the largest ones were comparable to tanks, and their resistance to firearms was also much stronger.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan turned to look at Wang Kaixuan and asked: "Fat man, have you brought the explosives you were asked to bring?"

As mentioned before, explosive weapons are the best choice to deal with such a big guy.

Chen Ziyan had long expected this possibility, but during his recent actions, he asked Wang Kaixuan to carry a batch of explosives with him.

In fact, before seeing this place, Chen Ziyan was still a little hesitant about using explosives, but after seeing such an empty space, he completely threw away that hesitation.

Collapse?

Just kidding, the dose that can kill a black cockroach is far from enough to destroy this place.

Wang Kaixuan immediately responded: "I'm taking it with me."

Then he took off his backpack, indicating that the explosives were inside.

"Get a smaller one and let's say hello to them first." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.

With Wang Kaixuan, the humanoid black cockroach attractor, there was a chance that they would be discovered by the black cockroaches inside, so there was no need to hide them.

What's more, he also wanted to verify whether the black-faced cockroaches here were that big.

After all, different body types require different ways of coping.

"Okay!"

Wang Kaixuan responded excitedly, then began to pick through his backpack, and finally took out a fist-sized explosive bag.

It is said that this is his youngest one.

Then, he skillfully lit the fuse and threw the explosive package into the space in front of him.

boom--

Along with a blazing flame, the roar caused by the explosion continued for a long time in this empty and sealed space.

Chen Ziyan had no intention of paying attention to the effects of the explosion. The moment the explosion stopped, he was well prepared and concentrated his attention completely, listening to all the sounds coming from the space.

Compared to the previous silence, this space was now filled with fine friction sounds.

It is obvious that the creatures living here have been completely awakened.

As the friction sound gradually approached, Chen Ziyan felt that it was better to be more cautious, so he said to the people around him: "Move back a little."

Although they are still some distance away from the exit of the passage, considering that the black-faced spiders are all very good at spider silk, it is better to stay as far away as possible.

If they were really too big, the spider silk might really pull them out.

Of course, the real large force is still behind them at this time, and there are just a few of them here.

Otherwise, it may not be possible to retreat in time.

The other people naturally had no objections to Chen Ziyan's words, and quickly stepped back some distance.

But before everyone could stand firm, a majestic voice landed not far from the entrance of the cave and looked over with those scarlet eyes.

This is a truly behemoth. Although its size is not as exaggerated as a tank, it is definitely not an ordinary family car.

Just one stop at the passage gave everyone a strong sense of oppression.

Wang Kaixuan subconsciously took out a brick-sized explosive bag, looked at the blood-colored eyes staring at him, and couldn't help but said: "What did this thing eat to grow up? Why is it so big?"

He was the most panicked person present, because after the giant human-faced black turtle landed, its eyes were firmly fixed on him.

In fact, before meeting this guy, Wang Kaixuan felt that it was a good thing that he could attract such a dark-faced person. After all, he could greatly reduce the search work.

But now...he suddenly regretted thinking this way.

Because this also means that once encountering a dangerous situation, the most dangerous person will definitely be him.

He believed that if everyone ran away together, these black cockroaches would definitely pursue him without hesitation.

Just like now, several of them are standing here, but the guy blocking the entrance of the cave seems to be unable to see anyone else, and is paying attention to himself the whole time.

That salivating feeling... was so obvious.

This makes people feel very panicked!

Chen Ziyan and the others also discovered this situation, and Hu Bayi directly reached out to grab Wang Kaixuan and pulled him behind him.

Afterwards, Hu Bayi stared at the black cockroach at the entrance of the cave and whispered to Chen Ziyan: "Mr. Chen, why don't we go back first? This guy is not easy to mess with at first sight. We must think of a way."

The size of this thing is too huge, and based on their previous experience, there will never be only one like this here, so violent disposal is definitely not possible.

The method used before, where everyone occupied the exit area and scanned the incoming black-faced man indiscriminately, was no longer suitable here.

Although there was no real fight, Hu Bayi knew just by looking at his size that he would probably not be able to stop these big guys with indiscriminate firing.

And once they are allowed to rush into one's own crowd against the hail of bullets, it will cause extremely heavy casualties.

Chen Ziyan felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said and that he really needed to discuss it, so he said: "I should think about it carefully, but it's not enough to go back. Just stay out of their sight. This thing can't get inside."

But he didn't plan to go back directly. They were already a long way from where they started, and it would be a waste of time to go back and forth.

Although the size of these new guys is terrifying, they are not enough to scare him.

"That's okay." Hu Bayi thought for a while and agreed.

That's true. With this kind of body shape, it's impossible to even think about getting into this passage.

As for digging them over, they don't have to worry about it. They can't run as fast as they dig!

After leaving the sight of the giant black cockroach, several people began to discuss how to deal with such a big guy.

The first plan that was put forward was naturally the method they used to deal with the large system of black cockroaches.

After all, this method has been tested in practice and has proven to be very useful.

But soon, Chen Ziyan put forward a different opinion: "This method is not suitable for the black cockroaches we are facing now. First of all, we don't think we can suppress fire. If we can only attack in the channel, our firepower advantage will not be fully utilized."

come out."

"But we can't go out rashly. If we are approached..." Hu Bayi didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone understood what he wanted to express.

If they are approached, they can dodge in time.

But once the militiamen are approached, it is basically difficult to escape.

"This is also an issue we must consider." Chen Ziyan nodded slightly to Hu Bayi, and then said: "Comparing the previous black clams, we can see that the defensive capabilities of these creatures are greatly related to their size.

It's related. To put it simply, the bigger the body, the stronger the defense on the body. The last group we encountered proved this. Focusing fire can no longer eliminate the opponent immediately."

Following Chen Ziyan's reminder, others also thought of this.

Was the black cockroach you encountered last time big?

It looked really big at the time, but looking at it now, he is just a little brother who is not worth mentioning.

But it was this younger brother who withstood their first round of concentrated fire and were not wiped out until the end of the second round, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

Speaking of Chen Ziyan's current situation, it's as if the final enemy suddenly dropped into the air just halfway through the game.

Compared with the previous gradual progress, this is almost a geometric increase.

"If you put it this way, the defense power of these dark-faced beasts has probably reached an astonishing level?" Hu Bayi asked with a frown.

Chen Ziyan did not answer. It was Ding Sitian who answered him. She calculated silently in her mind and said helplessly: "Although there is no need to admit it, the fact is probably like this."

Ding Sitian now suddenly had the feeling that it seemed that the lives of Chen Ziyan and his group were more exciting than those of professionals like herself.

She has only encountered such a terrifying group of creatures in so many years, and the intervals are always measured in years.

But now, after following Chen Ziyan and the others for only a short time, they encountered them twice in succession.

Previously when we were in Jingjue Ancient City, although the strange group of snakes did not attack, they were considered dangerous species.

Now that I have met this dark-faced man again, not to mention that he has plans to go to Yunnan in the near future, he will probably not be at peace by then.

It has been a very troubled journey.

If Chen Ziyan knew what Ding Sitian was thinking, he would kindly tell her that this trip to Jingjue Ancient City was not just about strange snakes.

But there was also the desert army ant. It was just because of his operation that he missed it.

"Blow it up!" At this moment, Wang Kaixuan suddenly said.

Now he finally understood why Chen Ziyan asked him to carry explosives.

This means there are no grenades, otherwise that would be the first choice.

When the body size and defense reach a certain scale, the effect of bullets will be diluted, as is the case before you.

Ding Sitian looked at Wang Kaixuan and said: "This is underground after all. Carrying out large-scale explosions rashly may cause a chain reaction. We can ask the militia to borrow a batch of heavy weapons, which should be able to deal with the things inside."

Rather than using explosives, she prefers to increase the power of weapons.

Since what you have on hand doesn't work well, then upgrade it. A machine gun will do the trick.

"It takes too long to deploy heavy weapons." Chen Ziyan refused without thinking.

Although Ding Sitian's department is very powerful and can handle this matter well, heavy weapons are not ordinary. There are many links involved, and it is definitely not something that can be solved in a few words.

What's more, the consequences of explosives are not that serious.

If it were changed to another space, it might really cause a chain reaction, but not this one.

Don't forget, this is a man-made space and has higher resistance in this regard.

As long as you control the dosage, there will be absolutely no problems.

Hu Bayi saw what Chen Ziyan meant and did not express his position rashly. Instead, he raised a new question: "If we use explosives, how should we implement it?"

If you throw it directly at the black cockroach at the entrance of the cave, it is easy to do, but it is also easy to blow up the entrance of the cave.

But if you don't do this, someone must leave the passage and enter the space.

And you have to stay away from it, which means the risk increases.

No one knows how many black cockroaches are inside, let alone how many will attack together. These are all unknowns and also decisive factors.
