People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 323 Trying and Escape

It is unknown how many ferocious babies have been born here, and Chen Ziyan does not think that staying here is a good choice.

As if echoing his words, before anyone else had time to react, there was a rustling sound all around them at the same time, followed by howls like the cry of a baby.

After hearing this ear-piercing and weird howling, several people looked at each other, then stood back to back without saying a word, looking around with weapons in hand.

They know... the evil baby is here again!

I just don't know if these evil babies had a premeditated plan or if they happened to form such an encirclement.

When the flashlight's beam looked around, Chen Ziyan and the others saw dozens of half-human, half-insect babies circling around them.

It seemed that he was a little afraid of them, so he didn't rush forward all at once.

At first, Chen Ziyan thought that the reason why these ferocious babies behaved this way was because of the several ferocious babies they had killed earlier.

But then he thought that these ferocious babies were probably not even living creatures in nature, so how could they be restrained by the death of their companions.

Then the reason why they did not launch a direct attack is worthy of investigation.

Soon, he thought of another possibility and quickly reminded him: "Everyone, please turn on the flashlights!"

Yes, flashlight.

After going through it quickly in his mind, Chen Ziyan felt that Zhi Ying's behavior might have been caused by the flashlight light.

It was probably because of this reason that the ferocious babies did not attack them before.

After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, the others immediately turned on their flashlights obediently. When several bright beams of light appeared, they could clearly see that the naughty babies surrounding them seemed to have been affected by some kind of attack.

The suppression was the same, and they all retreated a little.

Seeing such remarkable results, Wang Kaixuan looked at Chen Ziyan in surprise: "Mr. Chen, are these ghosts afraid of light?"

If that was the case, then he wouldn't be afraid.

Not only did they have a multifunctional tactical flashlight on this trip, but they also had plenty of spare batteries, so even if they spent a few days with these bastards, there would be no problem.

Facing Wang Kaixuan's expectant gaze, Chen Ziyan gently shook his head and explained: "It may not be a fear of light, it is more likely to be temporary photophobia, but this is a good thing, at least until they don't adapt, we won't

There’s too much to worry about.”

This was his speculation based on the performance of the naughty babies.

Although there is no absolute certainty, it is almost certain.

"That's it." Wang Kaixuan was a little disappointed.

However, Hu Bayi relaxed a little after hearing this and said, "Master Chen, let's take advantage of this opportunity and leave this hellish place quickly!"

He felt that he could not sit still and wait for death, but must seize the time and act to get out of here as soon as possible.

Otherwise, this advantageous condition will be lost once the naughty babies get used to it.

Wang Kaixuan immediately followed up and said: "I think it can be done. Even if it really doesn't work, we now have guns and explosives. If it doesn't work, just blow up a way out. I still don't believe that these weird things can't be killed."

To be honest, Wang Kaixuan really didn't take the dozens of ferocious babies that appeared in front of him too seriously.

What really frightened him were the countless female corpses in the pool.

If there was a ferocious baby inside every female corpse, then he really couldn't kill them all. It was beyond his capabilities.

But before he could finish his words, he received a warning from Ding Sitian.

"Explosives cannot be used easily, at least not if the distance is too close."

Facing Wang Kaixuan's puzzled gaze, she explained: "Look carefully at the corners of these ugly babies' mouths. The black liquid spilling out is undoubtedly poisonous. Although I don't know how toxic it is, it can be harmful if you accidentally get it.

It’s troublesome.”

Ding Sixian then did a brief science popularization and told others that the poison is different from ordinary toxins and cannot be viewed with conventional eyes, so it is better not to touch it if it can be avoided.

Although what she said was a little unclear, her solemn expression also made everyone understand how difficult this so-called evil is.

"This ugly thing is really troublesome!" Wang Kaixuan said a little irritably after hearing this.

If this is the case, the explosives will basically be declared useless. Given the distance between these wretched babies and them, if they really explode, they will definitely be poison gas bombs that explode in the face.

"Watch your head!"

At this moment, Hu Bayi's voice suddenly sounded.

Several people subconsciously looked up and saw a few ferocious babies crawling around on the top of the cave wall. It seemed that the smooth cave wall did not affect their movements at all.

As a result, the area above them was also lost.

Even Chen Ziyan couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly when he saw this scene. He felt that he wouldn't be too surprised if he saw a naughty baby emerge from the ground later and stage a dragnet for them.

"Follow the plan and let's go to the exit."

Shaking away useless thoughts, Chen Ziyan gathered his mind and said to the others.

Regardless of whether these evil babies will go to heaven or earth, their most urgent thing now is to find a way out of here.

But when passing by the bronze box, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, could the resurrection of these evil babies be due to something in this box?

Ever since this idea appeared, it began to spread uncontrollably. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible.

But Chen Ziyan is still a little unsure about which item it is.

However, he felt that the possibility of those mandrill skeletons was the lowest.

After this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but divert part of his mind into his personal space.

Because of the emergency situation just now, he conveniently took the ghost-headed copper letter in, so at this moment, except for the animal skin bag containing the mandrill bones, the remaining two items were in his carry-on space.

After taking a look at the two items that were quietly staying in his portable space, Chen Ziyan looked at the babies around him who were avoiding the light, and planned to take this opportunity to do a little experiment.

He now has reason to suspect that one of the two may have caused the baby to wake up.

The first thing Chen Ziyan took out was the bluestone vase, because compared to the three-legged toad in the bronze box, he felt that there was more suspicion of a jade fetus in it.

But the result was a bit beyond his expectation, because even when he opened the cap of the bluestone bottle, there was no reaction from the pigeons surrounding it not far away.

After frowning slightly, Chen Ziyan replaced the bluestone bottle out of the bronze box, but the result was still the same, and those naughty babies seemed not to care.

Such a result made him doubtful, and he began to wonder if he had guessed wrong. Maybe the ritual of awakening the baby was just a one-time procedure, and it no longer mattered what sent the signal.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Shirley Yang asked in a low voice.

She was right next to Chen Ziyan and witnessed the entire process, so she could more or less guess what Chen Ziyan was doing.

"No." Chen Ziyan shook his head gently.

His attempt was a wink to a blind man, but he gained nothing at all.

But Chen Ziyan was still somewhat unwilling to give up his conjecture, so after a moment of silence, he turned his attention to Ding Sitian's backpack.

At this moment, the last thing in the copper box, that is, the animal skin bag, is inside her backpack.

If his guess is correct, then this is the final and only answer.

Noticing the change in Chen Ziyan's gaze, Shirley Yang also looked over and immediately understood Chen Ziyan's thoughts.

After knowing that he failed to get any feedback on the two items in his hand, he set his sights on those mandrill skeletons.

With this thought in her mind, she quickened her pace and walked to Ding Sitian's side, whispering a few words in a low voice.

Chen Ziyan didn't know what Shirley Yang said, but he knew that Ding Sitian took out the animal skin bag and gave it to her after Shirley Yang finished speaking.

Shirley Yang, who got the animal skin bag, paused for a moment, and when Chen Ziyan came over, she handed it over: "Try this again."

"Okay." Chen Ziyan responded, then reached out and took the animal skin bag.

But before he could try, Hu Bayi, who was at the front of the team, said, "Mr. Chen, we're here."

With the help of Zhi Ying's aversion to light, they walked smoothly and now they have arrived at the exit they saw earlier.

Of course, being able to arrive so quickly is closely related to the fact that they were relatively close to their original location.

After hearing Hu Bayi's words, Chen Ziyan didn't think too much. He casually put the animal skin bag into his pocket and quickly came to the front of the team.

At this moment, they had arrived at one side of the cave, and in front of them was a thick square stone with neat edges.

"Come on, move this away."

Chen Ziyan did not hesitate to call to the others and wanted to move the thick stone slab. He guessed that the exit was behind the stone slab, otherwise there would be no need to place a stone slab with such obvious artificial traces here.

But after the stone slab was moved a little, Chen Ziyan's heart sank because he couldn't see the slightest light in the gap between the stone slab and the cave wall behind it, which gave him a bad premonition.

After completely moving the thick stone slab away, Chen Ziyan sighed helplessly in his heart.

His hunch was not wrong!

There was a cave behind the stone slab, but it was not the exit he imagined, but a solid cave that had long been abandoned.

It looked like it should be the nest of some kind of creature. Looking at the size of the cave, Chen Ziyan felt that this should be the place where those mandrills used to live.

But this makes sense, after all, King Xian seems to attach great importance to these mandrills.

"this……"

Hu Bayi let go of his hand holding the stone slab and looked at the cave in front of him in astonishment.

This was different from what he imagined.

Facing the confused looks from him and Wang Kaixuan, Chen Ziyan did not immediately give an explanation, but said directly: "If you take the waterway, the exit should be at the end of the watertank!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Ziyan took the lead and headed towards the water.

Because he saw the stone slab, he subconsciously thought that the exit was here, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered that the real exit of the gourd cave was at the end of the water flow.

Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Hu Bayi and the others didn't care about any explanation, and immediately followed him step by step.

Fortunately, until they came to the water pool, the naughty babies did not attack them, which made several people slowly heave a sigh of relief.

After looking at the female body floating not far away, Chen Ziyan reminded: "You need to swim through the rest of the road, so everyone should be careful later."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan: "Old Hu, Fatty, you guys take the lead."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that he would take Huahu to break up the queen, and this had become an established rule in their team.

"Okay." Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan responded in unison.

Naturally, the two of them would have no objections to such an arrangement. If we were to strictly reckon with it, with so many ferocious babies around, it would undoubtedly be more dangerous to break up.

Then the two of them briefly checked their equipment, and after confirming that there was no problem, they jumped into the water together and swam forward along the current.

After swimming a certain distance, Hu Bayi raised his hand and made a 'safe' gesture, indicating that others could enter the water.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan asked Shirley Yang and Ding Sitian to follow quickly, so that their situation would be safer.

But he still stayed on the shore, hoping to contain the group of pig babies for a while.

After all, even if the flashlight is waterproof, the light will inevitably be suppressed in the water. At that time, the baby who has adapted to the light will probably attack.

Chen Ziyan didn't want to have to be distracted to help when the time came. It would be better for him and Hua Hu to face the attack of the baby. At least they were sure they could deal with it.

While waiting, Chen Ziyan also thought of the animal skin bag that he had put into his portable space.

After scanning the surroundings for those who were still watching eagerly and showing no change at all, Chen Ziyan finally gave up his guess.

It seems that this animal skin bag has no effect on the babies.

But what Chen Ziyan didn't know was that at the moment he put the animal skin bag away, although the born babies around him had not changed, there were changes under the water that he could not see.

The female corpses that were floating toward the surface of the water, after the animal skin bags were put into the portable space, seemed to have received some kind of signal, and they all turned around and dived back into the deep water.

After waiting for a while, and feeling that the others should swim some distance away, Chen Ziyan also took Huahu into the water.

In view of the fact that the naughty babies might take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, Chen Ziyan entered the water without any hesitation and immediately swam in the direction where the others left with all his strength.

In the process of quickly moving away, Chen Ziyan did not forget to look back and found that those ferocious babies had also followed him into the water.

But the appearance of these ferocious babies in the water made Chen Ziyan feel extremely uncomfortable.

The current appearance of these guys is simply unsightly. Not to mention their ferocious faces, they are even uglier. They are also covered in bloated wrinkles. Their rough skin does not look like a newborn. They look like an old and ugly person.

Software crawlers are really the type that irritates people’s eyes.
