Ancient Invasion [End Times]

Seven days after the invasion of No.90. [First update] "Someone once thought that there was a white dragon underwater in Kunlun, but it was actually it."

Du Nanrong looked at the scene in front of him. The underground karst cave under the uncanny workmanship of nature is about six storeys high, empty and deep, but now it is crowded with huge multi-legged ancient creatures with teeth and claws.

He asked in a low voice: "Do you still want to seduce? Can you seduce me?"

"Just look at a lot, don't look at the feet, count the heads." Cheng Sheng said lightly, as if the scene in front of him was not shocking enough, and the doctor did not waver.

Du Nanrong choked when he heard the words, how many heads?

He and Du Jingshu both looked at the rock wall and the dome at the same time.

These ancient millipedes intertwined and entrenched together, the appearance of the head and the tail are very similar, making it difficult to distinguish.

Only the long antennae and a pair of mandibles can be barely distinguished, but they are also confused with the slender legs, which really adds a lot of difficulty.

Just staring at it for a few seconds is enough to irritate the eyes, let alone counting heads.

Du Nanrong took a deep breath, looked away, and asked instead: "What do I need to do?"

"Help us keep watch," Cheng Sheng said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ying seduced another ancient Malu, half of his body fell to the ground, dozens of pairs of jointed limbs swayed, struggling to turn over.

Cheng Sheng saw the opportunity and set fire to it.

He went on to say: "Watch out for any other ancient horses who are too naughty and sneak down when we are not prepared."

Du Nanrong twitched the corners of his mouth, what the doctor said was too cute.

He looked at the ancient millipede that had been burned and made the sound of oil. The pair of fine and sharp legs scraped across the rock wall, forming a deep scratch, and even cut the stalactite on the side in two. part.

——If this is naughty, it would be too naughty.

Du Nanrong nodded in response, pulled Du Jingshu back a step, and felt that the fighting strength of the two of them was a drag in this team, so he gave up a piece of the battlefield.

"Look carefully, look carefully." Du Nanrong whispered to Du Jingshu.

The little girl bit her head and nodded, wanting to cry without tears—is this some kind of hard-core desensitization therapy?ah?

Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi stopped for a while after dealing with four or five ancient horse lands in the same way.

The palms of Zhang Jiuzhang's two hands were bleeding because of the sharp knife groove, and the bright red blood flowed all over his hands. He didn't stop until he couldn't hold the three-edged bayonet.

Xu Ying frowned and bandaged Zhang Jiuzhang. No one had noticed Zhang Jiuzhang's situation before.

He shook his bandaged hands indifferently, grinned, and looked up at the ancient millipedes on the dome.

Those ancient millipedes were moving in the same direction, and they didn't know whether they wanted to escape or had other plans.

As Cheng Sheng said, these ancient millipedes are entrenched in the cave. At first glance, there are quite a lot of them, but they are actually feet.They have killed four of them now, and most of them are missing from the dome and surrounding rock walls.

Zhang Jiuzhang snorted, spat, and drooped his triangular eyes sullenly and said, "Come again!"

Cheng Sheng stopped him, frowned and didn't move. He heard a faint movement, as if he was hiding there.

Seeing this, Xu Ying and Duan Yi stopped and looked at Cheng Sheng.

Du Jingshu moved slowly and moved closer to Cheng Sheng's direction. She lowered her voice and asked a little uneasily, "Doctor, why do I feel that those ancient Malu... seem to be a little restless? Did they kill the human family too much?" Are you going to start an uprising?"

On the side, Du Nanrong twitched the corners of his mouth to be funny, the little girl's idiom talent must have been absorbed by his side.

Cheng Sheng took a look at Du Jingshu upon hearing this, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked deep into the cave.

The karst cave they were in had four caves extending in all directions. No one knew which final destination it would lead to, nor did they know what kind of cave creatures would emerge from those four caves.

"They left." Duan Yi said suddenly, and saw those ancient horse lands going in the same direction into the crevice of the rock wall.

Duan Yi has always been wary of those ancient Malu groups attacking in groups. After all, there is no biological population that will be indifferent to being killed several times in a row.

It's not the gourd baby who saved grandpa.

But he didn't expect these ancient horse lands to leave voluntarily.

Seeing this, Cheng Sheng pursed his lips and looked at Duan Yi: "I have an idea, it might sound crazy."

Zhang Jiuzhang raised his eyebrows, smiled, and interjected: "Scientists are crazy, you say."

"Let's keep up with those ancient horse lands," Cheng Sheng said.

Du Jingshu gasped.

Du Nanrong didn't speak, he just squeezed Du Jingshu's shoulder and whispered a few words of comfort.

Zhang Jiuzhang paused slightly: "It's really crazy."

Duan Yi glanced at Cheng Sheng and believed Cheng Sheng without any doubt: "Okay."

Xu Ying and Du Nanrong would have no objection, Du Jingshu bit the bullet and followed.

Zhang Jiuzhang gave a "tsk", watching people all flash into the cracks in the rock wall, finally took a deep breath, and followed in.

The size of those huge ancient millipedes at least ensured that there was enough room for people like them to pass through the gaps in the rock walls, after all, where was the difference in size.

At most, some places are really flat, and they need to crawl on the ground on their stomachs.

——To be honest, just crawling in the crevices of mountain caves is enough to defeat people's psychological defenses, whether it is the sense of oppression around them, the darkness where you can't reach your fingers, or the ubiquitous rustling The sound, in such a claustrophobic environment, is suffocating.

Du Jingshu unknowingly fell behind in the line, such a gap was only enough for everyone to pass through alone, Du Nanrong could only turn his head and look at it from time to time, and keep in touch with Du Jingshu to confirm that the little girl was still behind him, but he didn't know that the distance was already close. It gets bigger and bigger.

Until Du Jingshu bumped into something suddenly behind her, the little girl was so startled that cold sweat burst out from her back.

Her arm was held, and Zhang Jiuzhang's deep voice came from her ear: "Go on, I'm behind you."

Du Jingshu let out a breath, tears fell out of fright, only to realize that it was her own.

She nodded with sobs, knowing that Zhang Jiuzhang was following behind her, she seemed to have gained some confidence, she took a deep breath and continued to climb forward.

"Can you tell me the reason why we are trapped in this place now?" Zhang Jiuzhang crawled behind, waiting for Du Jingshu to continue to crawl forward for a certain distance, panting for a rest, and asked.

Right now they seem to be getting narrower and narrower, and the gap in the mountain ahead seems to be completely closed in the next second, which makes him wonder why he is in such a situation.

Duan Yi was at the front, and said, "Those ancient Malu gave up attacking us and left suddenly, which means that something made them feel threatened, and that place is not safe."

"Following the millipede at least ensures that we will not go into a dead end; on the other hand, creatures are far more sensitive to the direction of airflow than humans, and they may be able to take us out of this place." Cheng Sheng said.

Speaking of this, Zhang Jiuzhang patted Du Jingshu in front of him: "Then let's go."

Du Jingshu remained silent.

Zhang Jiuzhang called her suspiciously, but there was still no movement.

She bowed her head and lay on the ground, motionless.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiuzhang frowned slightly, walked forward a few steps, and stretched his arms to confirm Du Jingshu's status.

He was worried that Du Jingshu might breathe and pass out in such a claustrophobic environment.

However, just as Zhang Jiuzhang put his hand on Du Jingshu's neck, he was caught suddenly. Zhang Jiuzhang was slightly startled and almost made a move.

"Scared me." Zhang Jiuzhang muttered, retracted his hand and said, "Go forward."

Du Jingshu responded in a low voice, but said nothing.

They crawled forward, and after climbing through the narrowest place, the space in front of them slowly spread out and became much wider.

Cheng Sheng stopped the movement of crawling forward, he suddenly leaned against the rock wall, listened carefully, and called to Duan Yi: "Listen."

Duan Yi heard the words and turned sideways to the rock wall, and heard a subtle but rhythmic dull sound coming from the side of the rock wall.

The rock wall is not friendly to sound transmission, so Du Nanrong and Xu Ying didn't hear anything.

Cheng Sheng frowned. No matter what was making the noise on the other side of the rock wall, it was a big thing, which also confirmed Cheng Sheng's statement was correct.

"We have to get out as soon as possible." Cheng Sheng said, he speeded up, "That thing is right next to us."

"What?" Du Nanrong couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." Cheng Sheng said without hesitation, "But the giant ancient Malu will be used as food, at least two points can be confirmed."

"First, its size will not be small."

Cheng Sheng's words were interrupted, and Duan Yi who got out of the gap caught him and hugged him out.

He quickly glanced at the surrounding environment, the cave was like an upside-down golden bell, and a wide underground river appeared in front of them, and the millipedes that escaped from the gap were entrenched around the underground river.

Cheng Sheng continued: "Second, considering our current environment and ecology, it is either a lizard or some kind of insect, such as a spider."

Xu Ying's expression was not good.

Cheng Sheng then added: "Judging from the movement I heard just now, the possibility of multi-arthropod creatures like spiders is unlikely. I personally prefer lizards."

Du Nanrong followed closely and crawled out of the gap. Hearing this, he gasped and said, "I also prefer lizards."

Cheng Sheng laughed.

No one likes things with many feet.

After Du Nanrong finished speaking, he turned around to pick up Du Jingshu, but he didn't expect that the little girl didn't follow him closely.

Du Nanrong's face changed, and he immediately went to find Du Jingshu.

At this moment, a pair of hands stretched out from the gap, and Du Jingshu was pushed out by Zhang Jiuzhang.

The little girl let out a hoarse gasp, and took a deep breath, as if she hadn't caught her breath for a long time.

Zhang Jiuzhang followed behind Du Jingshu, and came out disheveled.

"Claustrophobic." Zhang Jiuzhang popped out four words.

Du Jingshu managed to slow down, and said awkwardly, "I didn't know I had this problem..."

"People without professional training can't stand such a long-distance claustrophobic space. It is very common to cause fear and overbreathing." Xu Ying comforted.

It was not easy for Du Jingshu to follow them all the way here. He had never lost the chain and made a mistake. If he were to be someone else, he might not be able to do better than Du Jingshu.

Zhang Jiuzhang just said "hmm" expressionlessly, agreeing with Xu Ying's statement.

Du Nanrong took another look at Zhang Jiuzhang, quite surprised.

He comforted the little girl in a low voice: "It's fine if you come out now, and we won't get into it next time."

As soon as Du Nanrong finished speaking, Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi shouted in unison: "Be careful!"

Before he could react, he was directly crushed by Zhang Jiuzhang.

The rock wall behind Du Nanrong's side was knocked away suddenly, and the gravel was sliced ​​across. Fortunately, Zhang Jiuzhang pressed it in time, otherwise he and Du Jingshu would have nothing to do next.

Du Nanrong looked back with lingering fear, and saw a huge, all-white guy appearing at the opening of the rock wall behind them.

The inside of the rock wall is hollow. It is estimated that it was also a cave before, but it has lasted for a long time, because the crustal movement finally closed.

The big, white thing looked like a lizard, but strangely, there were no eyes where they should have been.

It has no eyelids, and the eyes are hidden under the skin.

In all fairness, this tuatara is very beautiful.

"It's an olm. I've never seen it. It lives in a dark cave formed by groundwater all its life. Someone once thought that there was a white dragon underwater in Kunlun, but it is actually it." Cheng Sheng marveled, "An olm can live for a hundred years. Even without food, they can survive for more than six years."

"It's so beautiful..." Cheng Sheng subconsciously took a step forward, a little fascinated by this beautiful guy in front of him.

Immediately, Duan Yi pulled him back in the next second.

Cheng Sheng came back to his senses, and quickly said: "Its skin has no pigment, and its eyes cannot see. This is the characteristic of most cave creatures. If they live in places with light, they will probably evolve eyes."

"It's an amphibious creature. You can see that the transparent parts on both sides of its head are slightly red. That's its gills. The redness is because there is blood flowing in the blood vessels." Cheng Sheng said simply, "It's in the water. They breathe through their gills, and on land they breathe through their lungs.”

"It eats millet?" Du Nanrong only cared about this.

Cheng Sheng nodded in response. To be precise, the crabs, snails, and insects in the cave were its main source of food.

Du Nanrong heaved a sigh of relief.

The appearance of the olm made the ancient horseland group that had calmed down become commotion again.

It stood at the mouth of the broken rock wall, as if sensing something.
