Chapter 33 Ghost Horseshoe Crab

Li Luyi leaned close to Wo Gua's ear, "Didn't I also say that these black glasses are not ordinary people?"

"The black glasses said that the black zombie has been solved, so he shouldn't catch up again, right?"

"Probably. After all, it would be neither good nor bad for him if we died. Now it seems that he wants us to live, and he really has no reason to protect the black zombie."

After saying this, Wo Gua's heart suddenly returned to his stomach, but the miner's lamp above his head shook, and the battery was out of power.

He quickly took out the battery and replaced it. He knocked on the surface glass of the miner's lamp that turned on again and said "hehe" with a smile. "The quality of the flashlight used to move bricks on the construction site is very good. It wasn't broken just now. Corporal Shit Beetle, just listen to me." You said, I hit the wall just now, and that wall was--"

Li Green Ant and Black Glasses walked forward quickly, as if they were unwilling to stay in this pitted tunnel any longer. They shrank back because they were afraid of being chased by the giant leeches and super-invincible coelenterates from before. He quickly followed up with his neck, thinking that those two people also behaved like this for this reason.

Li Lvyan felt very strange. On the one hand, the sentence left by Professor Jiang was now a quarter deciphered, and the remaining three-quarters were still unclear. What he said: That black zombie is not an entity. What method was used to get rid of the black glasses? But Black Glasses was not prepared to say anything at all, so asking was in vain.

Also because this place is so weird all the way here.

No one's tomb would be built like this. It doesn't look like a tomb at all, but more like a fake amusement park. This kind of tomb has no rules and no traces related to Feng Shui. The identity of the astrologer has been revealed, so why did he do this on purpose? And the walls are also very strange. There are no murals that should be carved for the owner of the tomb. No matter how shabby Liu Jing is, he is still a prince after all. How can he be so depressed? Moreover, Liu Jing has already found it, which means that the last tomb is here. Why does he have to go through this winding corridor?

The walls that almost flattened me before, the tomb passages that kept disappearing inexplicably - and the walls of the tomb chamber just now were bare, but why were the walls red? He himself would never accept Wo Gua's unreliable statement of "running out of paint", but after much deliberation, he really couldn't find any other answer, so he should remain suspicious in his heart for now.

With full of doubts, the three of them walked for about ten minutes in the light of the wolf-eye flashlight guiding the way. The road was extremely smooth and they encountered no difficulties. They finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When a person is unlucky, his teeth will be choked when he drinks cold water, a leech will appear from a crack in a wall and wants to eat him, and he will be chased by coelenterates for several miles. It must be said that the three of them really carried him home. .

The first two groups of people took the correct route, but they also took another route that they thought was the right way to blow up, but they ended up losing their lives. If they weren't lucky, they would have told the truth eight hundred times.

This tomb passage is a bit weird. It looks like a ring. The further you go, the more you find a little light in the darkness and ignore the strangeness at your feet. It looks like countless onion rings. The tomb passages together are really creepy.

Feeling in his heart that even if he encountered a corpse at this time, it would be better than this weird passage that he couldn't tell what it was. Wogua tentatively said, "We even saw the underground water just now. Could it be that the one in front of us is underground? A strange terrain? I heard that in some places the mountains look like women’s breasts. Is the tomb passage we encountered that looks like an onion ring formed naturally?”

Li Green Ant is also not sure: because if you want to determine what kind of terrain a place is, the first thing you have to do is collect specimens, but now there is no research value here, and it is difficult to make a conclusion, so you can simply see the light from the front.

After a slightly cramped corridor, the initial white spot gradually expanded and finally turned into a white spot. Everyone was stunned for a moment in surprise.

After staying in this dark underground for so long, I have lost all sense of time. Now that I can see the sun, it means that I will be out of the sea of suffering soon!

Wo Gua was the first one to show off his energy and rushed out in one go. He ducked sideways with his black glasses, apparently fearing that Wo Gua Mao would accidentally bump into him. Li Lv Yan also had a hint of joy on his face, but before long, he heard When Wo Gua arrived, he screamed, his expression changed drastically, and he hurried forward.

Wo Gua covered the bruises on his head and said miserably, "I thought the Revolutionary Long March was over, but I didn't expect that there is still the final difficulty of the Eighty-One Dilemma waiting here. "

But in front of a huge exit, there was white light, which was obviously sunlight. Although it was still dozens of meters away, it made people feel extremely warm, as if they could reach out and hold it in their arms.

For the first time, Li Green Ant felt that living under the sun was such a happy thing. He lifted the nest melon up. In front of him was a slightly curved thorny land. Why it was called thorny land was because the front was covered with thin and dense trees of varying lengths. The barb of one.

Touching it with my hand, I found that these barbs were cold and had a shiny black surface. When I hit them with a Luoyang shovel, I could hear the sound of gold and jade vibrating together, a bit like obsidian. Among them, the giant one towers straight to the top, and the top is also a curved dome. The ground is densely covered with barbs, which is also the case on the top. The tips of the hanging barbs were glowing with black light. They were not poisonous or not, but just rubbing them would bring out a deep and sharp bloodstain.

The thorny stone forest in front of us was so densely packed that there was no place to stay. Although there was room for a person to walk sideways, Wo Gua's body would definitely not be able to pass through. The separation gap is small and does not make walking on flat ground possible.

This is how to do?

Wo Gua obviously felt that he might be abandoned, and he quickly grabbed Li Lvyan's sleeve and said, "Corporal Shit Beetle, the fruits of victory of the revolution are right in front of you. You must not abandon your comrades."

Li Lvyan couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't worry, in these days, who wouldn't go out and look for a lost pig?"

The nest melon was very angry, and Li Lvyan touched his chin: This terrain does not look artificial, but it is densely packed like sharp needles with different sizes in the upper and lower rows. It is a bit weird no matter how you look at it, and there is no place to stay, but How to get there?

The exit is just a few dozen meters ahead. As long as you step through this thorny stone forest, you can feel the warmth. Now Li Lvyan finally understands the meaning of the sentence "Love is separated by mountains and seas, and it is difficult to level mountains and seas."

Black Glasses remained silent, and Li Lvyan asked tentatively, "Is there any way you can get through?"

Black Glasses nodded, "I do, but there's no way I can take you two with me."

Yes, asking was in vain, and Li Lvyan felt that Black Glasses probably didn't want to leave him and Wo Gua here to die, so even if he really had a way to get there, he wouldn't leave first.

Hearing Hei Jingyan say such unloyalty words again, Wo Gua thought of Hei Jingzi's refusal to save him before, and said nonchalantly, "Okay, as expected, you want to break up again, so let's break up. I will explain first that food and water are not necessary." The commander wants it first!"

The black glasses gave him a cold look and ignored him. He walked to the side where no one could pass, as if he was looking for a safe place to stay.

Li Lvyan comforted Wo Gua and said, "Don't worry. The black zombie was so powerful just now. Didn't the black glasses ask us to leave first? We will definitely be able to think of a way. If we mess up the position, won't we play into the enemy's hands?"

"Hmph, from now on, I will never accept any small favors from Black Glasses. Even if I starve to death or die outside, I will never-" Li Lvyan took out a pack of compressed biscuits and blocked his mouth. , Wo Gua angrily tore open the package and ate it, swearing poison while eating. The biscuit crumbs in his mouth were like Tiannu's flowers, spraying everywhere. Li Lvyan couldn't dodge and was sprayed in the face.

"I will never eat his food, never!" Li Lvyan wiped his face and helplessly said, "You eat, you eat, please eat more. If you eat more, you won't be so full." .”

The black glasses stayed in place and said in a voice that could be heard by three people: "The scope of the open space can probably accommodate three adults standing at one time, but the location is not fixed and disorderly. If you use the one you used in the stalactite cave to get rid of The rotting corpse method of constantly changing positions is feasible, but it requires rigorous calculations, and this requires your help."

Li Lvyan's heart sank: He really saw the black glasses from beginning to end, but what he said was indeed what he thought. When he saw this scene, the first solution that came to Li Lvyan's mind was That's the one that's more reliable. The reason why I didn't say it was because I wanted to observe it first. Now that Black Glasses has said the same thing, it's a sure bet.

Take out the Flying Tiger Claw from Wo Gua's bag, and tie the rope on the tail end of the Flying Tiger Claw again, because there are also spikes hanging upside down on the top of the dome this time, which can also be used, but Wo Gua is fatter, and the spikes on it are always It's not as dense and spacious as the one below, and I don't know if it can hold up. There are no rotting corpses or anything else here. The only danger is whether the tops of these spikes are poisonous, and if you lose it in the air and fall, that's Stabbed to death.

"Dang", the flying tiger's claws hooked on a pointed thorn. Li Lvyan tugged hard. In order to prevent accidents, Black Glasses took the lead and flew out on his own and landed steadily. Li Lvyan was second. When it was Wo Gua's turn, Wo Gua was squirming and seemed to be still uneasy about what happened just now. Li Lvyan had a cold face: "Wo Gua, come here quickly. Do you still want to go out to eat?"

Have a meal? !

"I'll invite you to the best restaurant in Yangzhou to eat our special dish, Yangzhou fried rice! It's world-famous. Do you want to have a try?!"

"Come on, come on -"

Wo Gua wiped his saliva, grabbed the rope that was thrown over, and held on tightly. With the other foot, he followed what Li Green Ant taught him just now and stepped back hard. When he was about to come over, suddenly something happened behind him. There was a violent biting sound, like the sound of some rodent grinding its teeth, right next to his ears. In an instant, his face turned half white, his breath relaxed, and he became limp.

Li Green Ant and Black Glasses originally just waited for the nest of melons to come over before moving again, but suddenly a large number of densely packed strange crustacean creatures crawled out of nowhere. I saw that the bodies of those creatures were divided into two parts, and the whole body was blue-black, resembling crabs, but much more disgusting than crabs.

There are two densely packed rows of sharp tentacles and eyeballs on both sides of its front end. The back is like a crab shell, and its half-bowl-shaped gills are curved into an arch. Some are dry and some are full, as if they are full or not. The difference between being full. The most eye-catching thing is a sharp sword-like probe thorn in the middle. The top of the thorn is very sharp, as if it is the brain of this reptile that can suck food.

Wo Gua shivered as he watched, huddled in the middle of the rope, unable to get up or down, "What the hell is this? Why does it look like the ultimate evolved version of the Rat Woman? Is it going to use this thing to suck me?" Brains?!"

The densely packed strange beetles that suddenly came out shocked everyone. Most of those creatures were only the size of fingers. They looked disgusting at first, but then they crawled out from nowhere. They were almost the size of a hand, and some were even as big as a head. The size shocked all three of them.

No one expected that in this place except for the thorny stone forest, they would encounter such a thing. But when a black shell bug about the same size as a balloon crawled out, Wo Gua's howl was the loudest, so it naturally attracted their attention. The largest black shell bug used its densely packed tentacles to point at the soldiers on the left and right. , it was a "crunching" sound like gnawing bones, and I don't know what was exchanged. The soldiers heard the order of the insect king, and all of them were dispatched in an instant, rolling towards the nest of melon like a black and green tide.

"Wogua, don't be stunned, come here quickly, do you want to be dragged away by these bugs to be used as fertilizer?!"

Li Lvyan was shocked when he saw it, and he shouted, "I don't want to, but I can't use my legs hard, and my hands are all sweaty!"

Seeing those bugs parallel to the front end of the body, coming towards him like antennas, as if as long as the thing came close to him, it would immediately drain all his blood through the catheter, Wo Gua immediately shuddered and used He kicked hard with his right foot against a sharp thorn behind him. Under the centrifugal force, his body suddenly relaxed. Wogua's face lit up, "Haha, I'm flying, I'm flying."

Wogua landed firmly on the ground, but saw that Li Lvyan and Black Glasses did not look happy when they saw him reunite safely. Instead, they looked at the place where he had just left in horror, and turned their heads stiffly to look. go.

I saw that the spike that Wo Gua used as a footstep was originally densely covered with malicious black beetles, but Wo Gua kicked it hard and almost crushed a dozen of them to death. Their carapace was covered with blue. The mucus stuck to the spikes and slowly moved linearly downwards. The body of the black beetle finally fell to the ground with a "click". The scene was silent for a while, because the dozen black beetles were trampled to death by the nest melon in panic, and even those Black Beetle didn't seem to expect such an ending, and was stunned.

blue blood——

Because the beetle's blood was actually blue, the scene fell even more into a dead silence.

Li Lvyan swallowed and said, "Wo Gua, I seem to know what that is."

Wo Gua also made a "coo" sound, with a slightly frightened "What?"

"It is shaped like an iron, more than a foot wide, with smooth armor, blue and black, and bony eyes on the back. The eyes are on the back, the mouth is under the abdomen, the head is like a dung beetle, and the twelve legs are like crabs. On both sides of the abdomen, there are long Five or six feet long, the tail is one or two feet long, with three ribs like a palm stem, and bones on the back like horns, seven or eight inches high, like a stone coral. Every time they cross the sea, they show their backs with their backs on each other, and swim in the wind. Commonly known as horseshoe crab. Its blood is blue, and its abdomen has seeds like millet and corn, which can be used to make glutinous rice paste. The small ones are called ghost horseshoe crabs, and they can harm people if they eat them." Li Lvyan said with a vibrato, "Wo Gua, have you read this from "Sandu Fu" by Zuo Si in the Wei and Jin Dynasties?"

"What?"

"Ride on a horseshoe crab and ride on the same horse. This is a damn ghost horseshoe crab!!"

Li Green Ant was about to explode on the spot. Unexpectedly, he just thought he was lucky, and in the blink of an eye he won the jackpot. This thing that existed in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and could not be seen now was actually seen in this dark underground. , it’s really stupid.

The ancestors of the ghost horseshoe crab are said to have appeared in the Devonian period of the Paleozoic Era in geological history. At that time, dinosaurs had not yet risen and primitive fish had just appeared. As time went by, animals of its contemporaries either evolved or became extinct, and only the ghost horseshoe crab was the only one. Since its creation more than 400 million years ago, it still retains its original and ancient appearance, so the ghost horseshoe crab is known as the "ghost fossil".

Li Green Ant scratched his hair. "This thing is as old as trilobites. It is related to scorpions, spiders and extinct trilobites. Let me ask you, what about scorpions, spiders and extinct trilobites?" What do leaf insects have in common?”

Wo Gua was stunned, "Can't you even eat it?"

"They are all highly poisonous!!"

Li Green Ant took a breath, "This ghost horseshoe crab is the ancestor of scorpions, spiders and extinct trilobites. If you get a little bit of it on your skin, you will be dead. This thing usually only appears in the deep sea. Damn it." How could I meet you here?!"

Seeing that Li Green Ant was in a state of madness, Wo Gua cautiously said, "You said it's poisonous, so why don't we touch it? It's just that we trampled a few ghost horseshoe crabs to death. The name sounds scary. Look at it." It’s scary, but it won’t cause any actual harm.”

Li Lvyan laughed miserably, "If we can run normally now, of course it will be fine, but the problem is that now people can fly faster than us by crawling. This thing is poisonous!!!!"

Black Glasses also heard some clues: "These things are moving in groups. Jin Yuanbao just trampled some to death, causing a lot of noise. It seems that these ghost horseshoe crabs are also very protective of their shortcomings. Let's not provoke them and leave quickly." "

Li Green Ant doesn’t want to provoke them, but——

However, they saw those corpses of Kisama, which were bleeding blue blood and were obviously dead, being carried by some soldiers to the largest Kisama. Kisama used its tentacles to stay on the dead bodies for a while. , seemed to be mourning in silence, but the group of ghost horseshoe crabs were agitated at this moment, whispering to each other, as if they were arguing about something.

Wo Gua said, "Hey, you idiot of knowledge, can you understand what those ghosts are saying?"
