People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 239 Another Temple

Chen Ziyan, who was already in the secret passage at this time, didn't know what was happening outside.

His attention was already attracted by what was in front of him, and he had no time to think about anything else.

Not only Chen Ziyan was like this, but also Hu Bayi and others who were traveling with him.

At this time, they had walked out of the underpass area and arrived at a wider underground space.

The area of ​​this underground space must be at least the size of a football field, but this is not the main reason that attracts the attention of Chen Ziyan and others.

What really catches the eye is the giant human-faced black cockroach that spreads throughout the underground space.

These black-faced turtles are much larger than those seen before. Even the smallest ones are as big as a minibus.

But what is fortunate is that such a giant black cockroach seems to have fallen into some kind of slumber. Otherwise, they would never have the chance to stop and watch, or they would have been kicked out by jumping up and down.

Not to mention anything else, just Wang Kaixuan's strange attraction to the black cockroaches is enough for them to drink a pot!

Wang Kaixuan understood this best, so after he came to his senses, he wanted to run away: "I said let's retreat. If we are surrounded, I'm afraid we won't even be able to leave a whole body behind."

Hu Bayi did not quarrel with him this time, but also said: "The fat man is right, if we wake up these big guys, then none of us will be able to get out."

The black-faced cockroaches here are not only larger in size, but also more numerous. And with just a few of them, it is simply impossible to contend with them.

And once you rashly go deep and cause the sleeping black cockroach to wake up, you may not even have a chance to escape.

Chen Ziyan also looked at these black cockroaches with solemn eyes. After all, the worries of Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were not impossible.

If this situation really happened, Chen Ziyan felt that among the people present, except Wushuang Ghost who could easily leave, others including him would have to pay some price even if they could escape.

But he was even more unwilling to back away like this. Seeing that what he was looking for was so close in front of him, there was no reason to just give up.

"Have you noticed that there seems to be a road in front of us?" Just when Chen Ziyan and others were hesitant, Shirley Yang suddenly pointed at the densely packed giant black cockroaches in front of her and said this.

"road?"

Hearing what Shirley Yang said, Chen Ziyan immediately looked at her, wanting to hear a more specific explanation.

"Look here, the distance between the black-faced and black-faced turtles is very even, as if they were specially set aside for a road."

Shirley Yang moved a few steps to the side, and then motioned for others to come over.

This was what she had just discovered accidentally. At first she didn't think it was anything, but upon closer inspection, it started to look more and more like a road.

Chen Ziyan looked in the direction indicated by Shirley Yang, and saw that from her angle, there was indeed a gap hidden in the group of black cockroaches in front of her.

Although it is only wide enough to pass two people, it extends regularly into the depths of the spider swarm.

Hu Bayi asked strangely: "What does this mean? It can't be a special way of welcoming these black cockroaches, right?"

As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. There is definitely a secret behind this unusual phenomenon.

Wang Kaixuan said: "Do you think there is such a possibility that these black cockroaches are actually dead?"

He felt that based on the previous situation, even if these black cockroaches were asleep, they would be attracted by the strange smell they emitted.

So he felt that he could make a bold assumption, for example, these black cockroaches were not living creatures at all!

"It's possible, but the probability is not high." Chen Ziyan said.

Although he also hoped that Wang Kaixuan's words were right, judging from the faint sense of threat around him, these black cockroaches were probably not dead creatures.

"So... should we go in and take a look?" Shirley Yang interrupted several people's thoughts and asked the most critical question.

Should we follow the gap that looks like a road and go into the depths of this space to take a look?

"Master Chen, what do you think?" Hu Bayi thought for a while and decided to put the question to Chen Ziyan.

It has become his habit to ask Mr. Chen when he is in doubt.

Anyway, Chen Ziyan is in charge, so this matter should logically fall under his control.

"I think..." Chen Ziyan pondered for a moment and said, "I think we can go in and take a look."

Later, he explained his reason: "You all know the unique attraction of fat people. We have been here for a few minutes, and we haven't seen any movement of such a black body, so I think as long as we are careful, it shouldn't be a problem."

What's wrong?"

It sounds slightly reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it is a far-fetched reason.

But do they really need a reason?

No, all they really need is an excuse, and that's enough.

so……

Hu Bayi: "Master Chen's words make sense!"

Wang Kaixuan: "Well, that's right."

Ding Sitian: "Then everyone should be more careful."

Shirley Young: "I have no objection."

As for Wushuanggui, Huahua ignored him as usual.

However, just when everyone had just made the decision to risk going inside to find out what was going on, they saw pairs of twinkling spider eyes lighting up one after another, focusing on them.

This sudden change made everyone feel as if they were under a immobilizing spell. They didn't even dare to move, let alone continue to make any sound.

Chen Ziyan was the first to react, knowing that there was no need to think about in-depth exploration at this time, and it was better to think about how to leave first.

At the same time, I felt a little regretful. I felt that I had been possessed by a ghost just now. Why didn't I evacuate this place immediately when I saw these giant black cockroaches?

With this thought in his mind, he calmly gave the others a retreating look.

These black cockroaches may have just woken up now, so it is the best time for them to escape. Otherwise, when these behemoths completely wake up, it will be even more difficult to escape.

It can't be said that they were in sync with each other, but at this time they were facing the same situation, and several people had similar ideas, so everyone understood what Chen Ziyan meant at the first time.

Then, as if they had made an appointment, several people changed directions as fast as they could, trying to run towards the secret passage not far behind them.

The scale of the secret passage is destined. As long as they can get inside, the black beasts outside will no longer be able to do anything to them.

With their huge reminder, let alone entering the secret passage, they could probably stick a spider leg in, but what would that do?

But what they didn't expect was that four or five giant black cockroaches appeared behind them and blocked the secret passage they came out of.

"He brewed it. These black cockroaches are so refined that they actually know how to outflank them?" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but cursed when he saw this.

This blockade composed of black cockroaches undoubtedly became a chasm on their way to escape.

Even if they had to rush over, time would not allow them to leave.

Because it is very likely that before they can deal with the black cockroaches in front of them, the ones behind them have already caught up with them.

"I have no choice but to fight." Chen Ziyan clenched the weapon in his hand, took a deep breath, and gave the order to Wushuang Ghost: "Wushuang, wait for you..."

But before he finished speaking, Hu Bayi stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Chen, look at these black cockroaches, they don't seem to have any intention of attacking us!"

Hu Bayi's words made Chen Ziyan quickly calm down and look at the black cockroaches blocking the road in front of him.

I found that it was exactly as Hu Bayi said, these guys had no intention of attacking.

They seemed to be simply standing there, not wanting to wait for others to leave.

Ding Sitian said: "If you don't want us to leave, is there someone commanding these black cockroaches?"

This was the first thought that came to her mind at this time, because only in this way could she explain why the black cockroach behaved so abnormally.

"We'll find out if we try it." Chen Ziyan took a few steps forward while speaking.

Hiss——

And with these few steps of his, the black cockroaches in the entire underground space seemed to be irritated, and at the same time they made strange neighing sounds.

Chen Ziyan did not panic when he saw this happening, but calmly retreated.

It was miraculous to say the least. As he retreated to the original place, all the neighing sounds disappeared in an instant, and the black cockroaches returned to their previous state again.

"Master Chen, what's going on?" Wang Kaixuan asked in confusion.

He didn't think things would be like Ding Sitian said, with someone directing these dark-faced bastards from behind.

If someone could really do this, they would already be invincible, right?

"It's not clear yet. Let me try again." Chen Ziyan shook his head.

He is still confused now and can only barely make a guess.

Then he turned around and faced the dense group of black cockroaches again.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ziyan took steps toward the "path" hidden among the spiders.

But something magical happened. This time, the black beasts acted as if they didn't see anything and just let Chen Ziyan pass in front of them.

After returning to the team's position, Chen Ziyan said: "Miss Ding's idea is probably correct. These black cockroaches are very much controlled. They, or the people behind them, seem to want us to continue.

Go on."

As soon as he said these words, everyone frowned.

Even Ding Sixian, who just made this speculation, behaved in the same way.

Because guessing is one thing, but actually having such a person is another.

Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In this case, we can only continue walking, otherwise these big guys will escort us forward in a while."

Compared to being completely passive, Hu Bayi prefers to be proactive.

Even if he had to act according to the other party's ideas, he felt that he had to have some initiative. What was the difference between being completely passive and being a captive?

Others also know that there is only one way to go, and the hope of success is very slim.

But they knew better that if they really entered the spider swarm like this, their situation would be even more dangerous.

But just like Hu Bayi said, they have no choice now. Even if they know that it will be more dangerous if they go on, they can only act this way!

Chen Ziyan once again looked at the dense swarm of spiders in front of him and said, "Then let's go, at least let's see who has such a big hand."

After saying this, he took the lead in walking into the gap between the spiders under the gaze of those dark-faced spiders.

As a protective puppet, Wushuang Ghost naturally followed Chen Ziyan closely.

After the other people looked at each other, they didn't hesitate too much and quickly caught up with Chen Ziyan in front.

Being watched is an uncomfortable thing, but being watched by many pairs of eyes will directly rise to the category of fear.

This is the situation that Chen Ziyan and the others are in now, but when they are stared at by countless pairs of spider eyes, what they feel is not just as simple as fear, it can be said to be terrifying.

Fortunately, several people were mentally strong, so even though the walking process was scary, it didn't have much impact on them.

However, it is impossible to have no impact at all. At least after Chen Ziyan walked out of this path among the spiders, he had no idea how much time it took because he had no concept of time soon after he started.

The moment he walked out of the spider swarm, Chen Ziyan was once again shocked by the sight before him before he could even breathe a sigh of relief.

The location they were in now was because it was the deepest part of this underground space, and in front of him was a familiar building.

It was the temple they had seen before, but the temple here was no longer empty, but was guarded by guards.

Yes, guard.

They were beings whose entire bodies were wrapped in metal armor.

At first when he saw these guards, Chen Ziyan thought he was seeing Yin soldiers because the two looked very similar.

But after seeing the full picture of such a guard, Chen Ziyan knew that this was not a Yin soldier, at least not the kind of Yin soldier he knew.

Because although these guards are humanoid, they have a very different posture from humans, because they all have eight arms. These arms grow close to each other on both sides of the body. From a distance, they look like a humanoid spider.

"What the hell have we gotten into?"

Wang Kaixuan came out behind Wushuang Ghost. After seeing clearly what was in front of him, he said these words in an almost groaning tone.

But no one laughed at him, or even noticed what he said, because everyone was in shock at this time.

If they saw people underground, they might not be so shocked, but seeing so many people with eight hands at once makes it difficult to suppress their emotions.

Even Ding Sitian, who has dealt with supernatural phenomena the most, had her mouth slightly open at this time, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

She felt that when she first saw Baoxianghua, she was not as surprised as she is now. This was really too challenging to people's outlook on life.

Shirley Yang even wondered if this was an alien base in front of her, because this was the only reasonable reason she could think of.
