Chapter 358: Waiting for the enemy

Walking among the dense vegetation, relying on a simple impression of the terrain, the group braved the heavy rain to pull out vines to find their way, and trudged towards the entrance of the Worm Valley as their target.

As he got closer to his destination, Chen Ziyan was surprised to find that although the sky in the distance was also gray, there was no rain falling. Compared with the continuous rain above his head, it was like the world had changed.

The others also discovered this at this moment. Hu Bayi frowned and said: "It seems that this heavy rain is only limited to this insect valley. Although it is not sunny outside, there is no such heavy rain!"

Wang Kaixuan scratched his head in confusion: "This is really weird. This place the size of a palm can actually have two different weathers?"

Shirley Yang was not too surprised. She thought for a while and said: "Although this kind of thing sounds magical, it is actually a not uncommon natural phenomenon. I have encountered it before when I was working in tropical areas.

There are completely two climates on the east and west sides of a town, which is a common thing in the eyes of local people."

Although she has witnessed many strange things with her own eyes, Shirley Yang's first reaction when encountering such things is still more accustomed to using science to explain them.

Maybe... this is the worldview she has accepted for many years, and after suffering a strong impact, the only stubbornness left.

Chen Ziyan saw that he was only a few dozen meters away from the mouth of the valley and could clearly see the tops of the two meteorites. He stopped the discussion among several people and began to make the next arrangements:

"After everyone passes the valley entrance, go straight to the nearby hillside and leave the rest to me."

Wang Kaixuan subconsciously wanted to refute and take the job on himself, but before he could speak, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound of falling trees in the forest behind him. He didn't even need to look back to know that it was that person.

The corpse cave was chased out of the ground.

When I look back, the first thing I see is the billowing black smoke. Even if the heavy rain makes the sky dim, it is just a blur of vision. At this moment, when the black smoke that covers the sky comes out, it is like the dark clouds in the deep valley are chasing me.

Just like coming over.

Fortunately, Chen Ziyan and the others were very close to the entrance of the valley now. The straight-line distance was roughly estimated to be no more than thirty meters. Even if they walked slowly over, they would definitely be able to reach the entrance of the valley safely before the corpse cave caught up with them.

"This ghost ate all the corpses in Gourd Cave so quickly?" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but said when he saw the doomsday scene behind him.

He thought that it would take at least a few hours for the Corpse Cave to devour all the Yi female corpses in the Calabash Cave. He did not expect that they would be chased out so quickly, which was indeed beyond his expectation.

Hu Bayi's thinking was sharp. Thinking of the corpse of King Xian that disappeared after entering the corpse cave, he couldn't help but look at Chen Ziyan: "Mr. Chen, is it because of the corpse of King Xian?"

When Chen Ziyan said that the Corpse Cave would keep chasing King Xian's body, he didn't pay too much attention to it, but now that he considers the actual situation, he doesn't know that there is another mystery to King Xian's body.

"Well, the weather is limited. If you don't replenish the corpse cave, you will easily miss the opportunity. But you don't have to worry, everything is under my control." Chen Ziyan looked at the sky at the mouth of the valley in front and replied softly.

In fact, Chen Ziyan had expected in advance that the corpse cave would be chased out of the ground now.

After all, when he passed the center of the Calabash Cave just now, he had already passed the system's task completion prompt and knew that the speed behind the Corpse Cave would increase significantly.

Although it is impossible to determine an exact time, based on the speed at which the Corpse Cave devoured Huo's Undead Insects, it is not difficult to deduce that the Corpse Cave will emerge from the ground during this time period.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Ziyan did not show too much surprise after discovering the corpse cave and catching up with him.

"Let's go through the valley entrance first. This will be the natural chasm for the corpse cave!" Chen Ziyan quickly calculated his plan in his mind. After confirming that there were no omissions, he urged a few people around him.

Hu Bayi and the others had already heard Chen Ziyan talk about their plan, so naturally they would not do anything wrong at this moment, so they quickly walked through the valley entrance.

Chen Ziyan deliberately slowed down a bit and stayed until the last one to walk through the valley entrance. After seeing that the rest of the people had gone to the nearby hillside as he had arranged, he turned around to face the insect valley and removed the jade head of King Xian from the valley.

I took it out from the portable space.

And just after the head, which looked like a jade ball, returned to this world, the corpse cave falling far behind seemed to be stimulated. The billowing black smoke erupted crazily, and in the blink of an eye, the body behind it

The sky was dyed gray.

The advancing speed of the corpse cave has increased even more, and the sound of "rumbling" has become more and more deafening. Standing at the mouth of the valley and looking over, the continuously collapsing trees look like waves, quite a bit like the waves crashing on the shore.

.

After taking a look at the corpse cave approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye, Chen Ziyan turned around and headed towards the hillside facing the valley entrance.

Although the unique Feng Shui situation of Taniguchi was perfect for the corpse cave, the thing was charging so fiercely now that he was afraid that something might happen if he stood too close, so it was better to stay away a little bit.

After all, it’s better to nip problems before they happen!

As they walked, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't take out King Xian's head in advance. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so calm along the way, and they would have been chased up and down.

Chen Ziyan stood alone on the hillside facing the entrance of the valley, while the others stood on the side hillside. Everyone looked intently at the insect valley.

Under their gaze, the continuous trees in the valley were like toppled dominoes, being pushed to the ground lightly, as if they had become the nourishment for the billowing black smoke.

After about a few minutes, as the rumblings continued to intensify, the dark sky seemed to be right in front of us. At the same time, the trees in the valley could no longer hide the figure of the corpse in the cave, and everyone standing outside the valley could already see it.

, the dark carrion exposed in the gaps between the trees.

Although it had long been speculated that the body size of the Corpse Cave would be greatly increased after devouring the corpses in the Gourd Cave, the vague outline now still made everyone tremble.

The current corpse cave is like a small mountain of meat. It easily knocks down the thousand-year-old trees blocking the road in front of it. The whole process seems as simple as eating and drinking.

Chen Ziyan and the others felt like they were walking on grass. No matter how strong the green grass in front of them was, it would not cause the slightest obstacle to pedestrians. The process of breaking through the blockade was full of a natural feeling.
