Chapter 9 Catacombs (9)

Even if there are still some bugs ahead, with the belief that the exit is not far away, Liu Qi has no thought of retreating.It's just that there are rustling sounds around them, so they have to pay attention to guard against these tomb worms.

The further you go, the more bones you can find lying on the ground, and the number of tomb worms distributed on the bones is also different.It's a small pile of small piles staying together, not covering anything, but simply gathering together to rest.

After these tomb worms are alarmed, they will slowly crawl towards them.

Liu Qi opened the way ahead, and Yi Yanshi was still beside Su Mian, sweeping the torch to prevent the tomb worms from coming.

Su Mian soon discovered that these tomb worms would not come towards them when there were only a few of them alone, but when there were a large number of tomb worms in a group, they would start to move towards them.Some even fly, but fortunately this is just an exception.

He believed that Yi Yanshi and Liu Qi had also discovered this point.The two people holding the torches were more wary of piles of tomb worms, and they could also avoid the occasional tomb worms that took off, and the crackling sound rang continuously in their ears.

The air soon filled with the smell of burnt insects, causing Su Mian to cover her nose.He didn't have a torch. Logically speaking, he was the one who needed to guard against the tomb worms the most. He didn't have a torch in his hand. If the tomb worms flew towards him, he could only hide.

Although Liu Qi was walking ahead, he was only half an arm's length away from the two of them, and he asked Su Mian to move closer to him as he walked forward.

But Su Mian found that in such a tense time, he still had the mind to observe other things around him. He saw a particularly large number of tomb worms gathered on a skeleton.

Because he couldn't get closer to see it, and the firelight couldn't shine through it clearly enough, he could only see it vaguely.But Su Mian always felt that this skeleton was somewhat different from other skeletons.

The specific manifestation is probably that the clothes on the skeleton look relatively new.The tomb worms also like to attach to the cloth when they are huddled together. The other skeletons are severely worn because of the severe wear and tear of the cloth on their bodies, which may be the reason why there are few tomb worms attached.

It is not normal that the tomb worm prefers to cling to this skeleton. Su Mian was staring at the skeleton, but the flash of fire in front of him made him close his eyes subconsciously.

It was Yi Yanshi who swept the torch in front of his eyes, not very close to him, but just blocked the skeleton, and burned a few approaching insects to death.

Although the other party's purpose might be to block the tomb worms, it also made Su Mian unable to see things in the dark too clearly immediately after looking directly at the bright fire.

So he blinked, stopped staring at the skeleton, and turned to look at Yi Yanshi.

"What's wrong?" Meeting his gaze, Yi Yan asked.

"....fine"

The road ahead seemed to be getting narrower and narrower, but the traces of artificial excavation became more and more obvious, which gave Liu Qi more confidence.Similarly, there are more and more tomb worms.

As the number increased, they became more and more restless, and the two torches seemed unable to stop their movements.

"They don't seem to come to your side." Yi Yanshi looked at the bugs on the ground, then at Su Mian, and said suddenly.

Liu Qi was taken aback, and also turned around.After the three of them besieged the city, they found that the tomb worm wanted to go in the direction of Yi Yanshi or Liu Qi more, while Su Mian's side was almost non-existent.

Su Mian took two steps towards the direction they were in under their eyes, and those tomb worms who originally wanted to gather around all moved back a little, exactly the distance he had just walked two steps away.

"That piece of jade?" Liu Qi quickly guessed the reason.

Hearing what he said, Su Mian took out the piece of jade from the tomb owner's mouth from her pocket, held it in her hand, and stretched it towards the insects.

——Sure enough, those bugs backed up a little.

"Sure enough, the reason why the main tomb won't be approached by these things should be because of the jade that the tomb owner said." Liu Qi made a conclusion, but did not snatch the jade from Su Mian's hands.

Now Su Mian is the safest, but Liu Qi and Yi Yanshi will be attacked at any time, but both of them have torches in their hands, so it is even.

Knowing that Su Mian would not be attacked, Liu Qi felt more at ease, which meant that he didn't need to spare his efforts to protect Su Mian, just protect himself.

"Shall I open the way ahead?" Su Mian suggested.

Since he will not be approached by these tomb worms, he will walk ahead, as long as no human pupa appears, he will be safe.

Hearing this, Liu Qi started to think again, one needs to find a way to walk ahead, and on this point, he was a little worried about Su Mian.

"We have to leave quickly." During this time of thinking, the originally scattered tomb worms gathered together and made some sharp voices.Then, on the road they came from, the sound of a high number of tomb worms crawling over was heard almost clearly!

These tomb worms even summon their companions!Thinking back to the darkness, these two torches were simply not enough to see.

"Run!" Now Liu Qi shouted decisively, the road ahead was narrow, the three of them ran forward in a row, and Liu Qi still took the lead.

His hesitation just now is obviously unnecessary, because there is only one road ahead, even if Su Mian walks ahead, he won't go astray.Even soon their way forward was blocked, and they couldn't continue at all.

It was the people who entered the tomb earlier who used explosives in the tomb passage, causing the front wall to collapse, making this a dead end.

There are also several skeletons at the end. If you look at it together, maybe someone deliberately blew up this road to prevent the tomb worms from attacking them, and they also didn't care about the lives of these people who were blocked.

Judging from the size of this number of people, the team that sneaked into the ancient tomb at that time was probably not small.

"There is a robbery hole!" There is always a bright future, and Liu Qi's torch shines upwards, and he sees a hole that has obviously been dug through above.

If the people trapped inside have no chance to dig the hole, it is only possible that the people outside want to come in and have a look.

Maybe someone who wanted to collect his brother's body always dug this hole, but it is also possible that this hole is not open.But since it exists, there is a high probability that it can lead to another place.

Now this hole can be said to be their only life-saving straw. Its height is such that any adult male with better jumping ability can grasp the hole.

Perhaps grasping does not mean going up. The wall is smooth, and what is needed to climb up is strong arm strength.Moreover, the opening of the hole looks slippery, and whether it can be grasped and climbed up smoothly is a problem. It needs someone below to support it.

Before Liu Qi had time to say anything, Yi Yanshi suddenly moved.He put the torch on the ground, flew up, stepped on Liu Qi's shoulder and jumped into the robbery hole above.

A series of neat movements showed what is meant by "good skill". Liu Qi ignored the pain from his shoulder and looked at Yi Yanshi who had already arrived in the cave in surprise.He thought that he couldn't do this series of actions.

After arriving in the cave, Yi Yanshi squatted down and looked at the two of them, and asked, "Who will come up first?"

That's a really good question.

With Su Mian's body, not to mention the strength of her arms, it was difficult to grab the opening of the hole.Yi Yanshi reached out to grab him like this, he felt that he was not pulled up, and he could pull Yi Yanshi down again.

"Su Mian, go up first, step on my shoulders."

Liu Qi put two torches on the way they came to prevent the small number of tomb worms from crawling over.Not long after Yi Yan asked this sentence, he said so.

He let this newcomer show off in front of him, seeing Su Mian looking at Yi Yan, Liu Qi felt a little inexplicable jealousy.He felt that he had to show his presence, so that the other party could see him more.

It wasn't that he was desperate to put himself in danger. Looking at the long-haired young man who seemed worried about him, Liu Qi smiled and said, "If I don't have time to go up, just give me the jade and I'll be fine."

This is the real reason why he dared to take risks. Naturally, he wouldn't just leave Su Mian here alone. Since we all want to go together, let Su Mian go first. His movement of going up must be better than this young man Fast.

Talking any more is just a waste of time, the sound of the swarm is already very close.Su Mian nodded, watching Liu Qi squat down and step on his shoulder, reaching out to grab Yi Yanshi's hand.

Su Mian had her head up, and because she was stepping on Liu Qi's shoulder, her head happened to be where the hole was.Yi Yanshi was squatting at the entrance of the cave, and when he lowered his head, he was very close to Su Mian.

Although his hand was grabbing Su Mian's hand, he didn't seem to be pulling him up with any force.After realizing this, Su Mian looked at Yi Yanshi.

There isn't much light around them now, Su Mian can see Yi Yanshi's face but can't see his expression clearly, but he always feels that Yi Yanshi seems to be smiling.

There was strength from the tight arms, and it was Yi Yanshi who was pulling him up.Along with Liu Qi's getting up, Su Mian rose a little, and finally her knees could touch the cave, allowing him to climb in.

To be honest, even though Yi Yan was using his strength, Su Mian didn't feel that the other party was actually pulling him up. When he climbed into the cave, the swarm of insects was already in front of Liu Qi's eyes.

When Su Mian didn't care to look at Yi Yan again, she immediately took out the jade and threw it at Liu Qi who was still below.

"Take it!"

Knowing what he meant, Liu Qi also stretched out his hand and grabbed the piece of jade that was flying towards him. He didn't try to climb into the robbery hole immediately, but pointed the jade towards the oncoming bugs.

But in the next second, an insect pounced on Liu Qi's face. They didn't retreat because Liu Qi was holding the piece of jade. Almost instantly, the black swarm of insects crawled all over Liu Qi's body. .

Liu Qi's whole body trembled, the gun in his hand was hit by him a few times before it fell to the ground, and then he fell to the ground and began to roll, but Su Mian didn't even hear any screams from him. sound.

It is not difficult to guess that those bugs crawled into Liu Qi's mouth and blocked his voice.

Only the sound caused by thousands of reptiles made people feel creepy. Su Mian could no longer see even a piece of Liu Qi's skin, but only saw the human form covered with black insects.

Seeing the accident in front of her, Su Mian subconsciously leaned back a little, bumping into the person behind him.This time he froze even more, and the people behind him didn't have the slightest intention to move.

"It seems that the jade stone can only block a small number of tomb worms. With such a large number, they will no longer be afraid of these tomb worms." The voice was almost close to Su Mian's ear, slowly Huan is explaining to Su Mian.

But this is clearly illogical. At first Liu Qi thought that the jade could block everything in the tomb, because of the records in the notebook and because the entire main tomb was safe.

Leaving aside why the main tomb is safe, the tomb worm didn't seem to stop at all when it rushed towards Liu Qi just now, and the jade was also submerged in the end, which is enough to show that the tomb worm is not afraid of the jade at all.

It's not hard to guess at all.... It's not the jade that these insects don't get close to, but Su Mian herself.But Yi Yanshi's words were just to find reasons for Su Mian, as if he didn't find anything wrong with him.

The torch below was no longer lit. It was unknown whether it was extinguished by the tomb worm or when Liu Qi was rolling.Su Mian couldn't see what was going on underneath, but could only see the uneven outline of the robbery cave in front of her.

Not a single tomb worm crawled here, as if they didn't notice the existence of Su Mian and Yi Yanshi.

"Let's go." Yi Yanshi's voice sounded again, and finally he stopped being next to Su Mian.Since La Su Mian came up, he has been behind Su Mian, and has no intention of going to see the situation outside the cave.

Liu Qi is obviously hopeless, and they really don't need to bother with him anymore.This also shows that Liu Qi's mission has failed. According to the system, he will be sent back to his original world, and his memory of having done the mission will be erased.

But he would not be sent back until he died, and he had to experience the feeling of being covered in bugs himself.

Su Mian rubbed her cold fingertips and turned around.Yi Yanshi had already turned his back to him, and felt that Su Mian was following him, so he continued to walk forward.

The burglary hole was very small, they couldn't stand upright in it, and it was very tiring to bend down, so Su Mian changed to crawling.His body was already covered with dust, and his fingertips seemed to feel a little dry from touching the ground.

Yi Yanshi opened the way ahead, even if there was no light source and the road in front of him could not be seen clearly, he still walked without the slightest pause, as if... he was very familiar with this place.

Su Mian thought of the skeleton that was covered by the most tomb worms just now. It was obviously a latecomer, and it was very likely that it came through this robbery cave.

This robbery hole gradually went down, and when it finally went out, it was no longer at a high place, but directly connected to the ground.

But it's pitch black outside, and it's hard to see anything.

"Let's take a rest here." Yi Yan who could only see the outline beside him said, "I've been in this ancient tomb for so long, haven't I slept yet?"

Su Mian covered her body with a small "hmm", and sat down against the wall.

"After a while, those tomb worms are gone, so I'll go get his equipment. After all, he has a lot of good things, so we can't waste them."

Su Mian shrank her knees and did not respond.

When Yi Yan first discovered that the tomb worms would not approach him, perhaps the other party already knew that the tomb worms would not attack him.Yi Yanshi also deliberately delayed when pulling him into the cave, not because he didn't want to save him, but because he was holding Liu Qi back.

The purpose of Yi Yanshi is to kill Liu Qi.
