People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 312 Weird Insects

In fact, Chen Ziyan's original attitude towards Huo's undead insects, which were controlled by the environment, was somewhat casual.

If there is a chance to solve it, then kill it, but if there is no suitable opportunity, just put it aside and ignore it.

Anyway, this ancient remnant creature cannot leave the place where it lives, and it will not pose any danger to the outside world. It can be left to the management authority to deal with it.

Maybe it can also make some contributions to biology, archeology, etc. After all, you don’t have to worry about wasting this thing when you slice it into slices.

But the problem was that just after he reminded Hu Bayi, the system issued the task again.

[Ding! Choose to trigger!]

[Choice 1: Clean up all abnormal creatures in the gourd cave. Reward: Spell]

[Choice 2: Clean up the evil babies in the gourd cave. Reward: The evil technique - Insect Control]

[Choice 3: Clean up Huo’s undead insects in the gourd cave. Reward: Dragon Scale Demon Armor (adaptive model)]

Regarding the three choices given this time, Chen Ziyan made his choice without even thinking about it.

Although he was very interested in the reward of the first choice, he knew very well that only the third one had a chance of success.

Regardless of the first option or the second option, there is one thing in common, which is to clean up all the evil babies in the gourd cave.

And if there is still a chance to solve the problem of Huo's undead bug, it is simply wishful thinking to clear out the evil babies, at least that's what Chen Ziyan thinks.

It is not difficult to deal with the pig babies, let alone one or two, even if there are eight of ten at the same time, it is not a problem for Chen Ziyan.

But once this thing appears, it will never be just this. At least there will be dozens of them together, and the most important thing is that there will be a steady stream of follow-up. Anyone who encounters this will be trembling, right?

Even Chen Ziyan, who was very confident in himself, could only say that he could escape from the group of ferocious infants, but would not say that he could fight back.

This is not self-effacing, but he really does not have such confidence.

However, Chen Ziyan felt that if Zhang Qiling could really not take these naughty babies seriously.

There is no way, this guy's bloodline ability is quite special. The essence of Zhi Ying is the alternative use of insects, which is just within his restraint range.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of his domain weapon and almost forgot about his treasure.

With the Domain Artifact in hand and its ability to dispel snakes, insects, rats, and ants, even if they were unable to make any achievements this time, there would definitely be no accidents.

I just don't know if Huo's undead insects, which can also be classified as insects, can also be suppressed by domain weapons.

If he can do this, he can completely change his strategy for dealing with Huo's undead insects and enter a simpler mode.

Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, Wang Kaixuan next to him suddenly touched him.

When he looked back, he heard the fat man say: "Mr. Chen, the one who comes is not good, and the good will never come. We must attack first!"

While saying this, his eyes never left the bodies that were appearing more and more.

Obviously, what he was talking about was dead drift.

Hu Bayi stood aside with him this time and also said: "We will do it when these female corpses get close. I think these things are either rice dumplings or ghosts. Try it with a black donkey's hoof first. If it doesn't work, use one dyed with cinnabar."

Nuomi comes to say hello."

No one else had the slightest objection to Hu Bayi's plan.

Nowadays, their most popular methods are black donkey hooves and glutinous rice.

Even Chen Ziyan didn't say anything. Even though he knew what these were, he still wanted to try these two things to see if they could have any effect on them.

If this can be done, it will be a good thing for them.

But what none of them expected was that just as everyone was waiting, the body closest to them suddenly turned over and entered the water again when it was about to enter within one meter of the ship.

In the blink of an eye, all the corpses around him had disappeared into the water, as if those corpses had never appeared again.

Several people looked at each other in confusion when they saw this, and they were all a little confused.

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but look at Chen Ziyan: "Mr. Chen, what's going on?"

He felt that even if the two sides engaged in a life-and-death battle, it would be better than disappearing silently like this.

Hu Bayi stared at the deep water for a while, then turned around and said, "Why did the cold blue light on those corpses just now look like phosphorescent will-o'-the-wisps?"

He was also a little confused now and couldn't figure out how there could be such a thing as a will-o'-the-wisp in the water.

Wang Kaixuan seemed to have thought of something and said: "Old Hu, do you think those are water ghosts, just like the one we met that year?"

Speaking of this, even Wang Kaixuan, who had always been bold and daring, felt a flash of fear subconsciously.

When Hu Bayi was reminded like this, he also showed the same expression and couldn't help but frown.

There was no way, that incident left such a deep impression on them.

Seeing the curious eyes of several people around him, he simply told this old story.

After finishing speaking, Hu Bayi said with emotion: "At that time, no one dared to believe that there were ghosts in the world. Even if some people believed it, no one dared to say it. In the end, we could only attribute the matter to chance and coincidence."

After he finished speaking, Chen Ziyan put forward a different view: "According to what you said, this is not a matter of being entangled in water plants, but just like what you said, there were some things that could not be said at the time, but this

It’s better to be trustworthy than to be careless.”

He also knew that those corpses just now were not water ghosts, but when it came to the degree of danger, they were no less dangerous, so he had to remind them.

Hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Hu Bayi nodded solemnly: "Yes, there are some things that really need to be investigated carefully. No one can explain the reasons. We can only be more careful ourselves."

In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, after seeing the human bones hanging on the corpse's feet with his own eyes, he had his own guess about the truth of the matter.

After all, there are no such coincidences in this world.

After experiencing such an incident, although everyone looked the same as before, they had secretly raised their vigilance to the highest level.

Although the corpses just now have disappeared, they all know that those corpses are deep in the water below them and are likely to appear again, so they must be vigilant.

This can be seen from the increased stroke speed.

Following the slowly flowing stream, they quickly passed through this section of the fossil forest and came to a semicircular cave entrance.

The diameter of this hole is limited and can only accommodate one person at most.

Through the light, you can see that there is another hole on the other side, not a passage.

Wang Kaixuan looked over and complained a little: "Why are there holes here?"

Shirley Yang said: "Judging from the trend of the mountains from the Canglan River to the Nujiang River, the actual depth of the entire Worm Valley should not exceed forty miles. We have to reach almost two-thirds of the way here, and the rest of the way should be

It’s not too far.”

She wanted to tell Wang Kaixuan that it was not far behind.

Chen Ziyan ignored their words and used a searchlight to observe the situation on the other side.

You can see through the light that the other side's mountain wall is very smooth. When the light is scattered on it, it will flash a red light. The overall shape is trumpet-shaped. It seems that the further you go in, the larger the space becomes.

However, one thing cannot be ignored, that is, the environment inside is no longer suitable for ships to pass, and it is best for them to move forward on foot.

Even if you have to rely on ships, you can only travel a short distance at most.

Because there are more plant roots hanging down inside and dense plant fossils, it can be said that the space is severely compressed.

"Put the boat away." After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan expressed his thoughts.

Everyone else also saw the situation on the other side, until it was most appropriate to handle it according to Chen Ziyan's method.

Putting aside everything else for now, their ships cannot pass through the narrow hole in front of them.

This means that their ship can be deflated, otherwise it will have to be abandoned here.

After completing this matter, Chen Ziyan and the others passed through the cave entrance one by one and came to the other side of the cave.

After walking not far, they clearly felt the gap between the two sides. Compared with the cave they had just passed, the air here was far less smooth. Not only was it humid and hot, but there was also a strong smell that made people feel uncomfortable breathing.

All were hindered.

After Chen Ziyan noticed this, he immediately asked everyone to put on protective clothing again.

Although it shouldn't be as common as the poisonous miasma outside that kills people, if you stay here for too long, problems may arise, so it's better to be careful.

As they continued to go deeper, Chen Ziyan and the others discovered that there was actually a lush plant belt in the cave.

This also resulted in a huge number of mosquitoes in this mountain area. If they had not been prepared, the process of passing here would have been miserable.

After continuing to advance for several hundred meters, the team had to slow down because the land area in front was extremely compressed. Except for some fossil trees exposed on the water, everything in sight was whirlpools and turbulent currents.

And with the expansion of space, the boundary can no longer be seen at a glance, so the next road can no longer be carried forward, and certain judgments are required.

"This... let's take a boat next." Wang Kaixuan looked at the nearest fossil tree and felt that re-inflating it would not be too troublesome.

"Inflate it." What else could Chen Ziyan say.

If you just look at the road ahead of them, his judgment is not wrong at all, but who knows that there is still such a hand waiting here.

Fortunately, they brought enough equipment, and the hand-operated air pump quickly restored the hovercraft.

However, their sailing speed this time was not much faster than walking on land, and it might even be slower.

After returning to the water, they discovered how troublesome those turbulences and whirlpools were. If they were not careful for a moment, they would be swept in other directions.

And just when everyone was getting a little annoyed, a buzzing sound of insects vibrating their wings sounded from a distance.

The moment they heard this sound, everyone picked up their weapons.

As long as insects are not poisonous, they are not very scary, but that refers to a small number. Once the number of insects reaches a certain scale, even if they are not poisonous, they are extremely scary.

And judging from the buzzing sound that can be transmitted far away, the number of the upcoming insect swarm will definitely not be low.

This was indeed the case, and soon countless black flying insects flew from the front. The size of these flying insects could be compared to dragonflies, and for a while it seemed like black clouds were passing by.

Fortunately, the targets of these flying insects were the hanging plant roots and had no interest in Chen Ziyan, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Even if they have guns in hand, they don't want to face this kind of thing. They must know that sometimes the quantity is terrifying.

After passing under the swarm of flying insects, Chen Ziyan asked Shirley Yang in a low voice: "Can you see what kind of insect this is?"

Although there were many creatures in such a place that were unknown to the outside world, he still had to ask.

Know yourself and your enemy and you will win every battle. Even if these flying insects do not attack them, it is still okay to understand them.

Shirley Yang thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "This seems to be a black midge larvae that can only be found in hot wetlands. But as far as I know, even if it is an adult, it only has fingernails."

Big and small, but those just now are almost the size of dragonflies..."

She stopped abruptly before she finished speaking, and the reason why she stopped was that a water spider crawled over not far in front of the hovercraft.

Commonly seen water spiders are very small in size, but this one is as big as a fist, which is simply unbelievable.

But before the shocked people could think about it, they saw several giant water spiders swimming past and climbing up an ancient fossilized tree nearby.

After the water spiders left, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but ask: "Hey, why are the bugs here so big?"

He felt that everything he saw was a bit dreamy and not so real.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan gave a hint from the side: "I don't know if you have noticed that the cave we passed through has extremely smooth stone walls, and you can see obvious curvatures in the narrow places."

"The smooth stone wall...the curvature...seems to be red..." At this point, Hu Bayi suddenly opened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Why does this look so similar to the one we saw at the mountain temple?"

A gourd? Is it possible that we are inside a gourd?"

Shirley Yang also followed his train of thought and said, "If this is really the case, then are we slowly shrinking now?"

Although the two of them knew that what they said was unbelievable, they could not find any other explanation for the current situation.

Many features here are the same as the gourds outside, so it’s hard not to think that way.

And Shirley Yang thought along this line of thinking, and then contacted the bug she just saw, and it was normal for her to suspect that she and others were in the cousin's home!

It can only be said that when people see too many things that are beyond common sense and encounter things that are difficult to explain, people will subconsciously think in this direction.

Because of this, many incomprehensible things will be given a reasonable explanation.
