Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact
Chapter 410 Insect Swarm
With a creaking sound, the old wooden door was quickly opened by the experienced mercenaries, and at the same time a black figure jumped out.
"Wow!" The man made faces to scare the mercenaries who were traveling with him. His behavior was not only exciting for the mercenaries, but also for himself.
After all, these people are mercenaries who live on the edge of a knife, not high school girls. They can only scream at the first moment, but they immediately take out their weapons with their hands.
"Okay, okay, stop it, it's me." The man was Alvin, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and it was obvious that he was smiling happily.
The others pinched their brows helplessly but did not blame him. After all, the life of a mercenary was boring and they lived in fear, so they really needed some jokes.
"Alvin, don't always make such boring jokes when you are on a mission." The female mercenary scolded insincerely.
Apparently, Alvin didn't hear him. "But I've already explored the area around Shenyun. There's no danger, just some uninteresting medical reports that I can't understand.
You know, although I don't have the Eye of God, I can open the elemental vision. There is not even any residual elemental power around here. What danger can there be~"
Alvin said this nonchalantly. Just when everyone's expressions relaxed, Alvin's expression suddenly changed. His facial features twisted together, as if he was suffering from some unbearable pain.
Mercenaries lead a life of swords and swords, and injuries are inevitable. In the past, even when Alvin was stabbed in the thigh with a knife, he never showed such an exaggerated expression.
"Alvin, stop making trouble." Female mercenary Shen Yun complained.
But the tall man next to him noticed something was wrong at the first moment, and suddenly stretched out his arm towards Alvin, trying to drag him out of the basement.
Alvin was not dragged down by a huge force as expected. The tall and strong mercenary easily pulled him out of the basement.
Or maybe it was too relaxed, as if Alvin had lost nearly half his weight. A quick glance revealed that he had indeed lost half his weight—the lower half of Alvin's body in the basement had turned into a pile of white bones in just a few seconds!
This kind of scene made Shen Yun, who was used to seeing dead bodies, feel like vomiting. This was completely beyond common sense!
"There are no signs of being gnawed by large creatures on the skeleton. It is very likely that it was eaten by a large number of small insects. The bones are abnormally dry. It seems that the moisture was evaporated in a very short time.
However, with such high temperatures, the nearby wooden structures should have been ignited. What on earth is going on? Is it simply extracting moisture?"
Compared to the mercenaries, the nerd Elhaisen from the Order Institute, who was despised by them, was much calmer. Not only was he not panicked at all, but he immediately analyzed the cause of death.
"What should we do now? How about we go back to Boss Mishal and discuss the matter?" said another shorter mercenary.
No one had time to mourn Alvin. After all, the last thing the mercenary group lacked was separation and death.
Moreover, if the dangerous being in the basement could kill Alvin silently in a few seconds, then if they continued down there it would be tantamount to committing suicide.
Hush, but Alhaisen just gestured to them to keep quiet. After all, Alhaisen knew that the boss whom they regarded as their savior was probably in a more dangerous situation than them.
Can he defeat Jiraiya and others? It is better to believe that the beast of burden can pass the examination to become a Xumi scholar.
As Elhaisen gave the order to keep quiet, the other mercenaries also heard extremely faint rustling sounds.
Shen Yun was a user of the Ice Elemental God's Eye. She immediately condensed a large piece of ice at everyone's feet. With the reflection of the ice, everyone could see the surrounding situation clearly!
There were already countless bugs crawling behind everyone! Before anyone could take a closer look, another bug pounced on the face of the nearest mercenary.
Then, a shrill scream resounded throughout the eerie abandoned hospital. The moisture quickly drained away. Before long, the mercenary's head became a dried corpse, like a mummy that had weathered for a long time.
Before they could take a closer look, a green light flashed and entered the basement. Although their bodies instinctively resisted, they had no way out, so the mercenaries could only follow Elhaisen.
Although they came and went frequently, Elhaisen still saw the appearance of those insects clearly. After all, they were very familiar to him. They were common insects in the desert - scarabs.
But scarabs are supposed to only eat carrion, so there is no reason for them to attack humans in such large groups. And what can feed such a large number of scarabs?
Of course there are still some differences. If I remember correctly, in the academic archives about Tinari, Tinari had studied a kind of scarab, which seemed to be such a special existence.
It is three times the size of an ordinary scarab beetle, and its body is covered with barbs and hooks. Just one of them can cover a person's entire face.
As the last tall and strong mercenary hid in the basement, this guy was able to cleverly close the wooden door. However, his cleverness did not save his life.
After escaping from the danger, the man was panting and was about to drink a sip of water to calm his nerves, but just as he opened the water bag, a large number of scarabs rushed in like a rushing waterfall and smashed the wooden door of the basement.
The water bag fell to the ground, and the scarabs immediately bypassed the accumulated water and rushed towards the male mercenary like a tide.
"Throw all the water bags to me if you want to live!" The perceptive Elhaisen immediately found the key to the problem and shouted to the remaining five mercenaries.
Although everyone was puzzled, they still obediently threw away the water bags in order to save their lives.
But the man was quickly buried by the insect swarm. Judging from the experience just now, when we see him again, there will probably be only a pile of bones left.
But even in such a situation, he still picked up the water bag and threw it to Elhaisen at the last moment.
After the swarm of insects devoured the tall and strong man, they immediately rushed towards Elhaisen and his men. At this moment, Elhaisen did not flee immediately, but instead asked the female mercenary beside him whose name he already knew:
"That man, what's his name?" People like Elhaisen usually don't bother to remember other people's names. But guys like that man are still worth remembering.
Looking at the surging swarm of insects, Shen Yun was so nervous that her hands and feet were sweating, but out of the spirit of Liyue's contract, she still answered: "His name is Wang Feiyu. He is from Liyue like me."
Shen Yun was so scared that he was about to cry, and a mercenary nearby was so terrified that he ignored the spirit of the employment contract and fled alone into the depths of the basement.
