Tomb Raider Bronze Door Twins

Chapter 228 Corpse King

All the blood spurted out by the corpse-bugs when Zhang Qiling swung his knife splashed onto his face. He wiped it off, stood still, and breathed heavily, with his weak body that had not yet fully recovered.

Seeing him stop, Yan Bucun did not urge him, but quickly stood beside Zhang Qiling and helped to wrap up the jumping corpse-bugs with red lines.

The corpse-bugs, with heads of different sizes, were tied together in a string, but Yan Bushun could tell after estimating the weight that such a small group of them was still not enough.

It's not that Wu Yu's neck is so thick that it can hold a bell as big as a bowling ball, but that a female bell-bug that can command its young should not be of this size. It should at least be larger than the one living in Wu Yu's body. After all, even a bee colony will look for a large and fertile female queen bee as its leader, let alone this group of corpse-bugs with the same strict class structure?

But everyone knew that using physical strength to consume these countless creatures was really a gambler's mentality, so when Zhang Qiling looked at the palm of his hand that was cut and wanted to add another wound, he was stopped by Yan Bucun as soon as he raised his hand.

"I don't agree with methods that harm your own body. If you insist on bleeding, I'll do it!" Yan Bucun said, and regardless of Zhang Qiling's equally disapproving look, he grabbed the other hand that was trying to stop him with one hand.

The fat man saw that neither of them was willing to give in, so he quickly tried to stop them from fighting. "Comrade Bu Cun, you can't be so hypocritical. Everyone's blood is blood. I feel bad for Brother Laqi Ling, but don't we feel bad for you?!"

"I know what you mean, but this is the only way to quickly gather the corpse-bugs in one place. My red line can't hold out for too long, and our spirit can't take it. Besides, everyone's physical strength is almost at its limit. We can't go back, Fatty, you should know this." After he finished speaking, Yan Bucun grabbed Zhang Qiling's two wrists with one hand, and then pushed his hips. The button of the leather bag on his waist was instantly torn open, and the knife inside jumped out without any hindrance.

Then he hooked the handle of the knife with a red line, swung it and cut open the palm of his right hand in an instant, and then, Yan Bucun, as if nothing had happened, began to splatter the blood on the ground in chunks, just like scattering feed for chickens, intending to drive all the corpse-bugs into one place.

He continued to explain as he sprinkled the blood, fearing that the fat man would not believe him. "I have some Qilin blood in my body. Although the effect may be a little weak, it is still more than enough to deal with corpse-bugs. As for how much to sprinkle, I know it myself. I will not put myself in danger."

"I know you have the willpower to do it, but this thing hurts!" The fat man hurried forward, and the others began to deal with the corpse-bugs.

When Zhang Qiling saw the fat man coming, he jumped twice and quickly leaned towards the fat man. The fat man saw this and took out the handkerchief from his pocket, then tightly wrapped Yan Bucun's hand, "Enough, enough! We are not doing charity, how can we withstand you spilling blood like this? Look at your lips, they are so white as if they were covered with arsenic, you won't stop until you kill yourself, right?!"

Yan Bucun was touched by Zhang Qiling's cooperation and the fat man's sharp tongue. He pulled the corners of his lips and finally mustered up the strength to laugh for a long time. But the biggest credit for the fat man to stop talking was that he was handsome enough. When his eyes curved and his eyebrows softened, people couldn't say anything unpleasant.

So the fat man tied a bow on him. Although he didn't say it in return, in order to make the other party remember it, he patted Yan Bushun's hand lightly, but the force was really like tickling.

Seeing this, Yan Bucun did not grimace in pain, but his smile filled with happiness became more and more intense, and he also responded to the fat man in a particularly good-tempered manner, "According to what you said, I dare not stick out my tongue. What if I accidentally lick my lips and get poisoned to death?"

"Bah, bah, bah! Do you really believe what I said?!" The fat man retorted as if he was afraid that the curse would come true, "I'm telling you! I, Fatty, will never let my brother die in front of me in this lifetime!!"

At this time, Zhang Qiling also pulled his hand out of Yan Bucun's palm, but it was not because of disgust or anything else. It was just that previous contacts would make Yan Bucun generate high fever because of the absorption of Xiao Cun, but the current ordinary warmth made Zhang Qiling a little uncomfortable.

When Yan Bucun held his wrists just now, he could clearly feel the other person's real body temperature, neither arrogant nor impatient, nor cold, but as comfortable as a blanket covering his body. His skin was perfect and delicate, but there were calluses on his palms, which broke through all his disguises and proved that he was never a pampered young master, or a wealthy businessman, but Yan Bucun himself.

"Stop showing off your brotherly love, the corpse-bugs are already in the middle!" Chaoxu was the one with the least sense of collective honor here. No, he had no feelings for Wu Di and his gang, so he put profit first and wanted to solve the problem first. So, he only held Xiangyang in his arms, and protected his former partner, Qingru, who had already woken up, behind him.

Xie Yuchen, Huo Daof and the young man all gathered around. They tacitly did not urge the fat man over there, but each of them was ready to go.

When the first corpse-bug that couldn't stand the blood seeping through the sand suddenly jumped up, the young man kicked it and sent the black little thing into the air. Yan Bucun, who had just been chatting with the fat man, instantly caught the corpse-bug with his big net. After one was caught in the net, several more followed.

Everyone's movements were in unison. They only needed to kick or hook the corpse-bugs into the air like kicking a shuttlecock. After doing this many times for a long time, Yan Bucun would not have to look for the corpse-bugs anymore. Everyone could lock onto them accurately and throw them into the net without hesitation.

Until the end, they even collected a full bag, and above their heads, Zhang Qiling and the young man's Fa Qiu fingers came into play. They inserted their fingers into the gaps between the dense corpse-bugs, rubbed their shells, judged their body shapes, and picked out the thin and unusable ones.

Soon, only a few were left. These were the best ones they had picked, but Yan Buyun still shook his head. However, this did not deny their selection results. "It's still too small. The corpse-bug I saw in Wu Yu's body, although its body has shrunk because the bell has merged into Wu Yu's body, the weight of its soul has not changed."

Yan Bucun seemed to be afraid that everyone would not believe him, so he wiped his eyes and fixed his scarlet eyes on Wu Yu. After confirming, he turned back to the remaining few in the net and observed them again and again.

"There must be a better guy." Yan Bucun said this, but everyone suddenly fell silent.

When Zhang Qiling withdrew his hand from continuing to search in the net, his eyes passed Yan Bucun, and when he saw the thing behind the other party, his pupils suddenly trembled, because in the space, the hole that was originally used for corpse-bugs to exit suddenly became larger, and a huge monster taller than a human emerged from it.

It had a shell that glowed in the dark, like obsidian that shone brightly due to the refraction of candlelight. At this moment, its fangs were tentatively hanging above Yan Bucun's head, measuring the size of his skull, and it murmured repeatedly, probably trying to measure whether it could eat the prey in one bite.

"It's the Corpse-Eating King." Unexpectedly, the one who said this was the Black Blind Man hiding in the corner. He scratched his ears. Even if he didn't look, he could hear the unusual sound from the cavity of the Corpse-Eating King's body. "It probably felt the vibration of the mother bell and knew that the Corpse-Eating King who led this place was not dead yet, so it ran over to kill its mother and seize the throne. It is indeed the 'first filial piety' in the Corpse-Eating King Realm."

“Hiss!!!!” The Corpse-Eating King roared angrily, and his raised head suddenly lowered. Yan Bugun quickly dodged to the side, grabbed his red line, and smashed a bag of corpse-eating bugs on the head of the big Corpse-Eating King.

The collision of shells and the confrontation of hardness actually made a deafening sound. When the red net fell, the Corpse-Eating King opened its mouth again without any damage, but this time its target was actually Wu Yu.

Wu Yu's consciousness had been in chaos. When he saw the corpse-eating king running towards him, he still relied on his strong instinctive reaction to successfully avoid the corpse-eating king's first attack. The corpse-eating king, unable to brake, rushed straight into the wall, embedding its fangs deeply. However, its legs and feet were very powerful, and it was able to pull this big lump of itself out of the wall in less than two seconds.

Then, the Corpse-Eating King once again went towards Wu Xie unyieldingly, but this time it faced the young man leading Wu Xie's crazy hatred, Yan Bucun putting those red lines on his body and dragging him fiercely, as well as Xie Yuchen, Huo Daofu and the fat man, who were driving guns that were about to penetrate the whole world.

Zhang Qiling took a step and flew in an instant in the midst of the yellow sand and gun smoke. The moment he landed on the Corpse-Eating King, he took the black gold ancient knife thrown to him by the young man.

Then, the tip of his knife pressed against the Corpse-Eating King's weak spot. Realizing that its lifeline was locked, it wanted to throw the man off. But just as it was about to move, it found itself fixed in place, unable to even move its feet. Yan Bucun took advantage of its stunned time to pry open its mouthparts with a red thread and penetrated deeper. He also helped put Wu Di down from the young man's back and held him in his arms.

Another red line emerged from his fingertips and entered Wu Mi's mouth. This attempt made Wu Mi feel such a strong physiological reaction for the first time in his life. He vomited violently, and Yan Bucun tried his best to make his movements faster, at least to make Wu Mi suffer less, until he grabbed the female bell, and repeatedly hit it against Wu Mi's tonsils with difficulty. After taking it out with great difficulty, he fed the female bell into the mouth of the Corpse-Eating King.

"What kind of method is this? Feeding it with its own kind is to supplement its nutrition?" Xie Yuchen asked without understanding.

Yan Bucun explained in detail. Due to excessive manipulation of the red line, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "It is to make the two kings merge into one."

When saying the last sentence, Yan Bugun looked up at Zhang Qiling who was above the Corpse-Eating King.

"Aqi, listen to my instructions..." Yan Bucun's breath was a little weak. The red line was like sucking out his soul. The energy and spirit consumed by it were no less than those of everyone else, but he could still bear it. He rolled his throat and continued,

“Once it’s fused, Aqi, you kill it, and I will peel out the complete mother bell and use it to find the location of the bronze door, because the mother bell can determine the magnetic field. But when I start ringing the bell, there will be side effects... The corpse-eating bugs will go into a riot, and the bells outside will ring at the same time. At that time, everyone should run away. Don’t stop. As long as they are by my side, they will not attack the mother bell, so follow me, you must follow me!”
