Chapter 450 Underground Castle

When Li Yuanhong came to a platform again, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw many corpses densely packed here, both human and animal.

Without exception, these corpses have been injected with eggs by glutinous worms. Some of the eggs have hatched, and those bugs that have not yet broken out of the corpse are constantly squirming inside the corpse to eat the corpse. Some corpses are filled with insect eggs. It was full and the belly was bulging, like a pregnant woman, but Li Yuanhong could clearly see the insect eggs inside from the swollen belly.

Only then did Li Yuanhong know where those glutinous worms came from. This was the hatchery of the glutinous worms. Judging from the number of corpses here, there were no less than a thousand, and there were many skeletons scattered on the ground. Obviously, these skeletons were eaten by those worms. Remains of dead bodies. Looking at the thick layer of bones, it was obvious that these insects were causing harm to the creatures nearby.

"Hurry up and spread the gasoline on the corpses!" Li Yuanhong took out many barrels of gasoline from the space and ordered the soldiers to sprinkle the gasoline on the corpses. In fact, many creatures here are still alive, as long as the eggs do not break out of their shells. When the eggs come out, the parasitized creatures will remain asleep until the eggs come to hatch, and then they will be eaten by the eggs and die.

Li Yuanhong couldn't save the living creatures, so in order to completely eliminate these mutated glutinous insects, he could only burn the corpses and eggs together to avoid future troubles.

As the soldiers finished spreading oil, Li Yuanhong struck a match and threw it into the pile of corpses. The flames immediately burst out, and the soaring flames quickly enveloped the entire pile of corpses. Those glutinous insects that had not yet broken out of the corpses felt it. Threatened by the flames, they squirmed desperately, trying to get out of the corpse, but because they were not strong enough, they gradually stopped squirming.

The flames were burning more and more fiercely, and the high temperature had made it impossible for the entire cave to treat people. Li Yuanhong had no choice but to continue leading the team forward. This time it went smoothly and no more troubles were encountered.

As he continued to go deeper, Li Yuanhong felt more and more hot, and even faintly heard the "gudonggudong" sound of cooking. Finally, Li Yuanhong saw a river, a river composed of magma, the meandering magma, Burning everything around, the faint red light illuminated the darkness. I thought this place should be deserted, but here, Li Yuanhong found many creatures, not only plants, but also many unnamed insects.

Li Yuanhong glanced at these bugs and plants and found that they were all harmless creatures, so he ignored them and continued to move forward. Li Yuanhong heard the faint sound of water. This is really a wonderful place. There is fire on one side and water on the other. , the compatibility of water and fire created this strange underground world.

Looking for the sound of water, Li Yuanhong found a large river. The river was nearly forty meters wide. The water was very fast. If a stone was thrown, it would be instantly washed away by the rushing water. Li Yuanhong gave it a try. Looking at the river water, I found that the river water was actually cold and refreshing, completely opposite to the hot environment on the other side.

Li Yuanhong continued to move forward, and the entire underground space suddenly became brighter, as if he had returned to the ground again. If it weren't for the stars in the sky, Li Yuanhong would have forgotten that this was a dark underground world.

There was not only grassland in front of him, but also trees faintly appearing in the distance. Li Yuanhong even saw reclaimed farmland, but what was planted in the farmland was not the rice and wheat he was familiar with, but an unknown crop. Like a mushroom, except this mushroom is thin and tall, a bit like a sapling. The tops of these saplings are covered with blue-gray fruits, faintly exuding an alluring fragrance.

At the end of the farmland, Li Yuanhong faintly saw a tall city wall, which was fourteen to five meters high. Soldiers patrolling the wall could also be seen faintly. There was a moat surrounding the city wall, and the cold river flowing inside was Come to the living water.

Fortunately, Li Yuanhong has the eye of truth, otherwise it would be really difficult to find this castle in this place where the only way to illuminate it is with the help of the magma river, because those city bricks are made of unknown black rocks. They are dark and have no light at all. If not, Note, I thought it was a shadow.

Seeing the castle, Li Yuanhong knew that the target he was looking for had arrived. However, the castle was heavily guarded at this time. If he attacked rashly, he would definitely cause heavy losses to his side. Li Yuanhong did not bring many people. , only about five hundred people.

"Be careful, I'll go to the front to investigate!" Li Yuanhong asked the team to hide and walked towards the black castle.

This underground world is completely different from the ground. The plants are not green like the ground, but almost red. The creatures here are also more aggressive. Although there are no large carnivores like those on the ground, even a small reptile has a tendency to actively attack.

Therefore, Li Yuanhong had to be very careful. If he was not careful, he would be bitten by a poisonous reptile, which would be fun from time to time.

When approaching the city wall, Li Yuanhong finally saw clearly the guards on the city wall. These were the cavemen he had tricked many times.

These cavemen were patrolling the city wall with short spears. In fact, they were completely blind and relied entirely on heat sensing to patrol the enemy. The full-body armor Li Yuanhong was wearing at this time had a heat-insulating effect. To these cavemen, they were basically invisible.

In fact, these cavemen are not worried at all that someone will come to attack them. Let alone whether the enemy can find the 10,000-meter-deep underground. Even if they come, many people will get lost in the intricate underground network. But these cavemen did not expect that Li Yuanhong would come in from a road left by humans.

In fact, the cavemen also knew about this passage, but faced with these two creatures, waxy worms and carnivorous bats, the cavemen made this a restricted area, so they never thought that humans would emerge from here.

Li Yuanhong walked around the city wall and finally discovered that there were other passages in this underground space, and these cavemen entered and exited from other directions. However, now the cavemen's strength was severely damaged. Before the portal opened again, They hardly go out anymore. They only collect some resources when they go out. The farmland around them is cultivated by these cavemen.

Li Yuanhong turned around and found that the defense on the city wall seemed to be very tight, but in fact it was full of loopholes. There seemed to be a lot of patrolling soldiers, but this was mainly concentrated in the direction of the passage where they entered and exited. When Li Yuanhong came in, the guards were much sparse. This was mainly In the caveman's concept, it is a restricted area. They cannot leave, and neither can others, so the defensive force is much weaker.

After a round of investigation, Li Yuanhong had an idea. This was not the first time he had dealt with these cavemen. The next step was to launch a surprise attack while these guys were resting.

Li Yuanhong rushed back to the front of his army, and then selected twenty commandos to go with him as the vanguard. This was mainly because the armor of ordinary soldiers had no heat insulation effect, so it was easy to be exposed to the eyes of the cavemen, and in his own space There were only twenty pieces of heat-insulating equipment inside, so Li Yuanhong could only lead twenty people for a sneak attack.

Li Yuanhong quietly came to the city wall with twenty people. Now the cavemen have just changed their guard. In this dark underground, there is no distinction between day and night, but the cavemen still work and rest according to certain rules.

Li Yuanhong looked at his watch and knew that it was already ten minutes after midnight on the ground. It was the sleepiest time of the day for humans, so Li Yuanhong chose this time to attack.

The cavemen above were still patrolling as before, but the number was much smaller than before, almost half less than during the day. What's more important is that before, there were harpies flying in the sky from time to time, but now, there are almost no harpies to be seen.

Li Yuanhong chose a blind corner for patrolling, took out the flying claw from the space, quickly threw it to the city wall, and successfully grabbed the city wall and chopped it.

When Li Yuanhong grasped the rope and climbed up, he realized why these cavemen were so careless. It turned out that the stone of this city wall was not only easy to hide in color, but also had a very smooth surface, as if it had been polished. But Li Yuanhong knew that these stones were formed naturally and were not polished at all.

In the past, Li Yuanhong would climb up the city wall smoothly, but today these stones require almost no effort. When Li Yuanhong climbed up, he almost relied on the strength of his arms to climb the rope.

Finally, five minutes later, Li Yuanhong climbed up the city wall, lowered a few ropes, and pulled up the soldiers behind him one by one. At this time, the twenty-man team finally completed the first step of the attack.

In Li Yuanhong's plan, it was more advantageous to fight the cavemen as late as possible. Therefore, Li Yuanhong was not in a hurry to fight the cavemen on the city wall, but secretly led 20 people into the city.

This is a typical military fortress style. There are no civilian housing or hotels and other facilities within the city walls. There are only military camps, training grounds and canteens for eating. Of course, within the walls, there is also a taller castle. This The castle is a typical war castle.

The entire castle is a solid fortification. There are no other entrances and exits outside the main entrance and exit. Even the windows used for ventilation are not much larger than the shooting ports of the bunkers during World War II. Let alone crawling inside. Even the bigger geckos can't climb in. The entire castle is nearly thirty meters long and is a five-story building. On the roof, there are cavemen on duty, and there are many long-range attack weapons on it. Judging from the faint flash of magic light above, these long-range attack weapons are all Magic weapons are absolutely powerful.

Of course, Li Yuanhong just thought that with these twenty people, he could rush into the castle and do something. Who knew if there were any traps in the castle, so Li Yuanhong, with these twenty people, had to find a way to create something inside the city wall. Chaos, so that his team of 500 people can take advantage of the chaos to attack the city.

As for creating chaos, this is what Li Yuanhong is good at. He has caused chaos to these cavemen before, so Li Yuanhong led a team of 20 people and began to set up traps in the fortress.
