Chapter 502 Look at it, does it look like... (4400 words)
After jumping into a deep pit of fifty or sixty meters, Xu Xin and the two were surprised to find that the pit was bigger than they had imagined.
Xu Xin really did not expect that there is such a hidden tree house a few hundred meters away from his tree house...
remains?
"There are so many bugs here..." Lou Fei'er couldn't help complaining.
She even walked carefully.
In today's potholes, insects are crawling all over the ground, and they are densely packed.
Fortunately, there are basically only reptiles in the current potholes, and the number of flying insects is very small.
Perhaps it was because the flying speed of the flying insects was far faster than the crawling speed of the reptiles, so they all flew away with the giant insect just now.
The slow reptiles that entered the pothole later remained in this cave.
But now, Xu Xin and Lou Fei'er were standing in the middle of this group of insects, and there were no reptiles within about one meter of them.
He tried to take two steps forward.
Immediately, the surrounding bugs, following his movements, began to spread in all directions, maintaining an open space of about one meter around them.
No bug is willing to get close to two people.
"Sister Xuefei's potion is so effective!" Lou Fei'er was a little surprised, and at the same time let out a long breath of relief.
She is really afraid that bugs will crawl on her.
Xu Xin nodded: "In this case, our actions will be much more convenient."
In fact, when they were on the ground before, the bugs on the ground would also dodge their footsteps. These bugs are still too weak for a single individual. Humans are giants for a single bug, so it is normal to avoid them.
But at that time, there were basically no bugs in the place where the feet stepped on, and the spread range was only the size of footprints.
Now, bugs will not approach within one meter of the surrounding area, which is indeed a lot more comfortable.
At least I'm not afraid of trampling too many bugs to death and angering the swarm and causing them to attack.
"Hey!" Ke Ke, who was lying on Xu Xin's shoulder, also understood the situation, jumped down, and took two tentative steps forward.
A blank area immediately appeared around it.
"Hey!" Coco was not afraid at once.
"Why do these bugs stay in this pothole?" Lou Feier walked forward, and wherever she went, the bug swarm would scatter, which made her feel a little amused, "Didn't they come out of the ground? Can it be drilled into the ground?"
"Who knows?" Xu Xin observed the surroundings carefully, and casually said, "Maybe the giant worm ran too fast. These worms don't know where the giant worm went, so they can only stay here."
"Ha, it's really possible." Lou Fei'er jumped forward, and the bugs on the ground quickly dispersed, then she looked back at Xu Xin and smiled, "So, my master, how do you know, then Giant worms can run?"
As soon as she relaxed, she started again.
Xu Xin glanced at her, and continued to look around: "I told you, it's a secret."
"That's right, you didn't even tell Wen Xi, how could you tell me." Lou Fei'er pursed her lips and shrugged.
"Okay, take a closer look around and see if there is any other way to go here. Zeng Tao and the others should be right below here."
"Oh good, then I'll go over there and have a look." Lou Fei'er immediately prepared to walk in another direction.
"Come back, don't split up." Xu Xin frowned, "Do you want to disappear too?"
"Oh good..." She immediately followed behind Xu Xin obediently.
The pothole at this time is actually not very easy to explore.
Because there were too many bugs in the potholes where many damaged ruins could be seen above.
Not only the ground, but everything was covered with bugs.
Even the ancient stone statue that Xu Xin saw before is now covered with bugs, and the face of the statue with a human face can no longer be seen at all.
Can't see anything.
Moreover, these bugs not only crawled on it, they even made a faint gnawing sound.
"Squeak...click..."
I always feel that it won't take long for these bugs to eat up this place beyond recognition.
The pothole is not small, the area below it is about half the size of a football field, and it is completely covered by black bugs.
The two of them basically couldn't see anything, as far as they could see, it was all black and dense.
The rock walls of the pits were also covered with dense black beetles, and there seemed to be no caves to enter.
Looking around, I can't find any other passages at all, it seems to be just a pothole.
"...Go and take a look at the stone sculpture with a human face just now."
The two immediately walked towards the big statue about twenty meters away from them.
Although the entire statue was covered by bugs, it was still very conspicuous for such a big thing standing here.
When I came to the statue, the bugs on the statue's face also scattered. Some crawled down, some crawled to the back, and some climbed to the head, revealing the statue's face within a second.
Although the statue has only one head and one face, it is four to five meters high, and Xu Xin's height only reaches the nose of the statue.
"This stone carving feels so old..." Lou Fei'er reached out and touched it, "It feels a bit like it was thousands of years ago."
This stone carving really gives people a feeling of ancient Egyptian civilization thousands of years ago on earth.
The face of the stone carving is already a bit blurred, and it is not clear when viewed at such a close distance.
Xu Xin took out the insect repellent spray and sprayed it on the whole statue up, down, left, and right.
Immediately, the bugs that were crawling on the statue scattered wildly again, exposing the statue's complete face.
Just an ordinary statue.
"Huh? Huh...?" Ke Ke lay on Xu Xin's shoulder and tilted her head.
"It's too close to see the whole picture of the statue. Why do I feel that this statue has a strange feeling? I'll take a look at it from a distance!"
As she spoke, Lou Feier stepped back while observing the head of the statue.
strange feeling?
Xu Xin didn't feel it.
He reached out and touched it.
Then, to his surprise, the statue didn't give any hints or introductions.
"...?"
This made him a little uncomfortable after he came to this world and was used to everything being introduced.
Does this seemingly mysterious thing not even have an introduction?
"Xu Xin! You spray that insect repellent potion again, those insects came up again!" Lou Fei'er shouted from behind.
The effect of the spray was only a dozen seconds, and now the spray dissipated, and bugs climbed up again at a place more than one meter away from him.
He immediately sprayed at the statue, then stepped aside: "How about it, did you find anything?"
"Hmm...huh?" Lou Fei'er's eyes widened slowly, then she opened her mouth slightly and blinked, "This statue... huh? This is...? Ah?"
She whispered doubts in her mouth, even rubbed her eyes, and looked again.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her appearance, Xu Xin was a little curious, "What did you see?"
Lou Feier glanced at him, with puzzled and shocked expressions, and some unclear meanings in it: "Well, you can spray it for me again, those bugs came up again, I'll take a look..."
"What's the matter..." Xu Xin shook her head and sprayed a few more times.
"This..." The more Lou Fei'er looked at it, the weirder his expression became, "That...or, why don't you come and see for yourself? Maybe it's my problem, did I read it wrong?"
"...? What the hell are you talking about? Forget it, let me go and have a look. Come here and spray it."
Xu Xin stepped forward.
"Hey..." Ke Ke was still lying on his shoulders, and turned her head to look at the statue with a human face.
The two passed by.
Xu Xin came to the place where Lou Feier was standing and looked back.
Lou Fei'er was standing in front of the statue, looking at the statue, and muttering to himself, but he couldn't hear it.
Why does she feel so dazed?
"Help me get rid of the bugs." Xu Xin called over there.
"Oh..." Lou Fei'er immediately took out her own spray and sprayed it for a while, then dodged away.
The overall appearance of the statue appeared in front of his eyes.
It was a man's face, with a strange headdress on his head, some strange earrings on his left and right ears, and some strange patterns tattooed on his face, with his eyes open and looking straight ahead.
It does look like the traditional costumes of ethnic minorities.
Because the face is huge as a whole, and Xu Xin is in the position where its eyes are looking directly at, this lifeless head even gave him a very majestic feeling.
Is this the god worshiped by the ancients of this world?
Or, the leader of some tribe? Like the high priest of the Mayan civilization or something.
"So, is there anything strange about this?" Xu Xin looked at Lou Fei'er beside her.
"...Didn't you see it?" Lou Fei'er's expression was still a bit exciting, "This statue looks like a person..."
like a person?
Xu Xin looked at the face of the statue again.
When he was close up just now, he couldn't see the whole statue, and the facial features of the statue had been somewhat blurred by the wear and tear of time, so he didn't have much impression of the statue's overall appearance.
Now that the distance is far away, it is much clearer.
This appearance...
Hearing what Lou Feier said, it really looks familiar.
It seems to be a...
very familiar face.
familiar……?
Xu Xin suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"this……"
this is not……
Lou Fei'er, who was beside the statue, saw Xu Xin's expression, and immediately shouted: "You can see it! Isn't the face of this statue your face! This is your head!"
...
"These bugs...are they crazy!"
Zeng Tao sat in a stone room, leaning against the stone door, panting heavily, and then cursed: "Why did they attack us all of a sudden! They are obviously not interested in people on the ground! Oh, it hurts! "
She raised her somewhat appalling little hand, gritted her teeth with a groan, and said, "And what is that giant worm just now!"
Both of her hands were already dripping with blood.
"Hurry up and take some medicine." Knowing that her hand was injured, Jin Yue took out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, "Recover."
"Uh... woo woo, it hurts..."
Under the action of the pill, Zeng Tao's hands gradually returned to their white and tender state.
Zeng Tao wiped the blood from his hands on the steel armor, leaned against the stone door and stood up: "We can't get out now, can we?"
Just now, they fled into this stone room against the swarm of insects that attacked them frantically.
This low stone house is one of the few buildings in this area with only doors and no windows.
Most of the buildings have both door openings and window openings, and there are also holes without doors and windows, which cannot be closed at all.
Some have movable doors, but the window openings cannot be closed.
After searching for a long time, the two finally found this room, entered the room, slammed the door shut, and then threw a torch into the room to kill the bugs that entered the room with them on the spot.
At this time, the torch was still burning in the corner of the wall.
Jin Yue walked to the corner and picked up the torch: "It's better not to go out for the time being, the insect swarm outside is too crazy."
"Isn't it!" Although his hand has recovered, Zeng Tao still groped for his little hand, and said in fear, "There is no way to counteract it, it has bitten my hand like this!"
"So why don't you cover your hands as well." Jin Yue glanced at her, "You covered your whole body so tightly when you came out."
"Isn't that because...the hand is wrapped around, and the handle of the knife feels bad..." Zeng Tao was a little embarrassed, "Besides, the bugs outside didn't attack us, so I took it off. But it's useless now."
Zeng Tao pointed to the cloth covering Jin Yue's hands: "It's all been chewed."
Jin Yue ripped the steps off.
The cloth is almost broken.
The attacking power of those bugs cannot be underestimated. Even if she kept telling the mobile phone to move and slapped the bugs away, the cloth on her body still suffered.
Fortunately, the purple steel armor was unscathed, and the bite force of the bugs could not damage the steel armor.
But this armor doesn't do much.
After all, this is armor, not tights, and bugs can easily get in through the gaps.
I covered these gaps before, but now...
They've all been eaten away.
If it was a minute later, I'm afraid they would both be gnawed into their clothes by bugs, and their bodies would be bloodied...
"...This group of bugs is as crazy as a group of wasps that have been stabbed."
Outside the house, the sound of insects was still very loud, and even the crackling sound of insects hitting the stone door could be heard from time to time.
Fortunately, the stone gate is very thick, at least ten centimeters thick, and very heavy. Although there are many bugs, it is impossible to knock them open.
Even Zeng Tao, it took a lot of effort to open the door just now.
It was also because of this that her hand was bitten like that.
"This stone door is ridiculously heavy!" Zeng Tao no longer leaned on the door, because she also knew that those bugs could not open the door, "How did the buildings in this place be built? With my strength, push Every door is so difficult..."
"We can only wait here." Jin Yue sat down against the wall, "We can only go out after those bugs leave us."
The two of them also tried the torches outside just now, but just like on the ground, although the torches could attract the swarms, they were instantly extinguished due to the large number.
"I knew it earlier, I should have brought down some mutant vines." Zeng Tao sighed, "That thing might still be useful."
It's a pity that the two of them don't carry that kind of thing with them.
Now they can only wait for the opportunity.
...
Xu Xin was squatting next to the statue, checking the situation here.
But he checked carefully for a long time, and even jumped on top of the statue, but he didn't find anything magical about the statue.
This seems to be a very ordinary stone statue.
but……
Why... his face?
Or is it just that he looks a little like him?
But this is also...too a coincidence, right?
A few hundred meters underground around his tree house, a statue very similar to him was found?
This made him feel a little nervous.
"Xu Xin, here! Come here quickly, this seems to be an entrance!" Lou Fei'er turned around and shouted at a position more than 20 meters away from Xu Xin, "Ke Ke found it!"
Xu Xin immediately stood up and walked over.
On the rock wall in front of Lou Feier, the worms receded because of her approach, revealing the appearance inside.
A door.
A double stone door with an arc-shaped top.
It was as if there was an entrance to a dungeon.
On the stone gate, some incomprehensible characters were engraved.
"Hey!" Ke Ke climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder and pointed at Shimen with his small paw, "Hey!"
It appears they are moving on from here.
