Chapter 147 It's a Scarab, Run (4800)
The fog was so thick that the road ahead could not be seen clearly. Kaxiu followed the shadow and rushed into the deepest part of the forest.
"Where is it taking me?"
Kaxiu narrowed his eyes, and a faint white air lingered in his nose.
Five minutes later.
Da! A black boot stepped on the open space.
Three adult men in ordinary clothes turned their heads suddenly and looked at the people coming not far away. One of the strongest ones glanced over: "Hunter? No, just an ordinary human."
Da Da Da...
The person rushed straight over without any sign of stopping.
"Get out of the way! Don't block the way!"
Hearing this, the three vampires laughed in anger. The strong man in the lead had a low face: "How dare you talk to me in this tone, a tiny human, I didn't want to have an extra meal today..."
Roar!
A high-pitched cry came out of the man's mouth, and his whole body instantly deformed and swelled, and his face became beast-like. The clothes on his body were torn, revealing the black and red strong body and mane underneath.
The man had a bat face and a cold smile. What he liked to see most was the fear of humans seeing the true form of the vampires.
"Die!"
With a whoosh, the man rushed out madly.
Bang! The next second, a shadow flew back at high speed.
Blood drew a graceful arc in the air.
"What!" Seeing this scene, the other two vampires were surprised and entered the transformation state of the blood gift at the same time. In an instant, they became half-human and half-body monsters like the strong man just now, with thick claws almost as big as a human head.
Swish! The huge black shadow rushed past the two people in an instant.
Kaxiu didn't even look back, and the white airflow wrapped around his hands quickly dissipated. He rushed deeper into the fog without saying a word.
The two heads behind him were sprayed with blood and rushed into the sky.
In the thick white fog, Kaxiu was very focused. He could feel that the speed of the shadow pointing the way in front of him was constantly increasing, and he didn't care whether Kaxiu could keep up or not. If he wanted to follow them and find out what was going on, he had to keep his speed.
Any vampires or humans who blocked the way had to get out of the way.
And those who didn't want to get out of the way had no choice but to die.
Another ten minutes passed, and it seemed like there was no end to the thick fog. Kaxiu's hands were dripping with blood, and his steps were leaping. Every time he stepped hard, a deep hole would be left on the ground.
In this way, he could gain explosive forward speed.
The surrounding environment had hardly changed along the way.
The only change was that there were more vampires around. These isolated vampires didn't know what it meant to give way. In their eyes, Kaxiu was a blood bag that was running over to their mouths, and their first reaction was mostly to meet him and intercept him.
And the consequences of blocking the way are naturally needless to say.
Kaxiu had already killed nearly two dozen vampires.
"Splash... Splash..."
In the distance, there seemed to be a faint sound of water.
After a while, Kaxiu stopped beside a meadow. Although the surroundings were hazy with fog, he could still see the outline of the waterfall falling in front of him. Below the waterfall is an oval pool, with a stream flowing down from the gap in the pool.
The edge is green grass and some gray-white stones covered with moss. There is a circle of empty space around, and then there is a forest.
"The shadow has stopped..." Kaxiu looked up.
The shadow that led him here has slowed down. It paced back and forth in the mist like a normal walk, as if looking for something. A few seconds later, the shadow walked in one direction again, and finally stopped next to a big tree.
Before Kaxiu could rush over, the shadow disappeared in an instant.
The next moment, Kaxiu stood next to the big tree and slowly leaned down. This old tree is very tall and big. It looks like it has grown here for a long time. The wrinkles of the bark are like the face of an old man.
The roots on the ground are twisted and powerful, like huge gray-white pythons, winding under the soil.
Kaxiu half-crouched on a thick tree root and stretched out his hand to push out the leaves and soil between the cracks of the tree roots. After digging for a while, there were some gray stones inside. He wiped off the soil on the surface and took a closer look, and found that it was not an ordinary stone, but a part of the wall or a tile.
He stretched out his hand and dug for a while.
More stones appeared in front of Kaxiu, with a lot of traces of erosion by wind and rain. However, some signs of civilization were still preserved, with traces of carving and painting on them.
He held the tile in his hand and pondered for a while.
Suddenly, his hands were instantly wrapped in white air, and he dug hard into the gap between the tree roots, and a lot of soil piled up beside him. After a while, Kaxiu felt that the dense soil below was empty.
He dug hard with both hands.
A cave suddenly appeared in front of him, dark and unknown where it led to. Kaxiu noticed that there was a layer of rock wall next to the entrance of the cave, with obvious signs of human construction.
"Is it a tomb? Or a relic?!"
Kaxiu frowned tightly, and he thought of the black shadow who had just pointed the way, and hesitated for a while whether to go in and take a look.
He moved closer to the cave entrance, and the air inside seemed to be fine.
Kaxiu took a deep breath and stepped directly inside. As soon as he entered the cave wall, his body slid downwards.
This was a gray-white landslide with an angle of about 60 degrees.
It was very dark inside, and it was almost impossible to see anything clearly.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
There seemed to be a sound of a machine spitting from the surrounding cave walls. Kaxiu felt something shooting at his body, and quickly closed his eyes and covered his face and neck with his arms.
Ding Ding Ding... a series of collisions went down.
About fifteen seconds later, Kaxiu regained his balance. His feet stepped on a solid and stable passage floor.
Huh~
A faint flame suddenly appeared on the upper edge of the cave wall and spread along a line all the way inside. The color of the flame was pale white, not very bright, and there was a dim feeling.
Kaxiu was a little surprised, then reached his hand to his hair and took out a black arrow. It turned out that this kind of hidden weapon had been attacking him just now. He took a look at his right forearm, and there were white spots on the skin. Some places were almost broken, which showed the penetration strength of this kind of arrow.
You must know that Kaxiu, who has mastered the heavy armor of the stone armor, can even withstand bullets. The penetration power of this arrow is comparable to that of bullets.
He pressed hard with his right hand, and the arrow broke with a click.
Suspecting that there was a trap ahead, Kaxiu deliberately slowed down his pace and walked cautiously deeper into the passage.
About two minutes later, a corner appeared ahead.
He stepped forward.
Suddenly, the ground in front of him cracked. It was a trap!
A square-shaped spike neatly arranged appeared at the bottom of a two-meter-deep pit, and Kaxiu fell in immediately. He turned around and stretched out his right hand to grab it, and he actually clamped the edge of the pit by force.
His body swung violently, and his two hands lifted up with force. He returned to his original position and clenched his fists lightly.
With one foot on the ground, his body suddenly flew over the entire trap.
Then, crack!
The ground cracked again.
Kaxiu fell into it unexpectedly.
There was a thud from the bottom of the pit.
"Fuck! So insidious!"
Kaxiu didn't expect that he would be tricked one day.
He lay on a pile of spikes with a gloomy face. At the moment of falling, although Kaxiu didn't react as quickly as the first time, he also forced his body to control in mid-air.
He flipped over and landed on his muscular back.
The more spikes he touched at the same time, the lower the pressure, and the less likely it was to pierce Kaxiu's body. This was the right thing to do.
Although he fell to the bottom of the pit, he didn't feel any pain in his back, so he shouldn't have been injured or bleeding. He turned over and stood up quickly. These spikes were almost as high as Kaxiu's thighs. If it was a person of average height, he couldn't even step on the bottom of the pit.
He took a look at the place where he had just fallen. The tops of the entire piece of spikes were flattened. A closer look revealed that these iron spikes seemed to have been there for who knows how many years. The surface was severely corroded, and rust crawled all over the thorn head.
Its penetration was obviously not as strong as when it was new.
Kaxiu thought of the sharp arrow just now.
Maybe the hidden weapon in the wall was more sealed...
Half a minute later, he stood on the ground of the passage again.
This time, Kaxiu became more cautious. But he never encountered traps or dangers again. He walked smoothly along the passage for hundreds of meters and then stopped.
What appeared in front of him was a huge cave wall, a vast cylindrical cavity. The bottom looked as big as a basketball court, and there were oval passages on the gray-white cave wall, which seemed to lead to different directions.
At a glance, the dense black holes extended to an unknown place, which gave people a sense of gloom and horror.
Kaxiu's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he walked a few steps outside and stood on the raised platform inside the cavity. He looked to the right and saw a series of isolated steps on the cave wall.
You can reach the bottom by jumping on the steps all the way.
Kaxiu hesitated for a while, but still jumped over carefully. The steps are not traps, and there is no feeling of breaking directly when jumping on them. These platforms are very stable.
In this way, he descended to the bottom step by step.
The surrounding air began to drop sharply, and Kaxiu could clearly feel the loss of body temperature. He seemed to see a faint white mist in the air when he exhaled from his nostrils. His body shook, and blood began to circulate continuously in three nodes to provide heat for his naked upper body.
Five minutes later, Kaxiu arrived at the bottom.
At a glance, there were five huge holes on the bottom.
I don't know where they lead to.
In the middle of the cave wall, a gray-white fountain was working, and the pale white water flowed around the pool.
"Can the fountain work for so long? Or is it maintained by someone?"
Kaxiu took two steps to the side, and suddenly he felt that he had crushed something. He loosened his foot and saw that it was a bug.
A beetle with a white shell in the size of a thumb. The bug had been crushed to death, and the light green liquid sizzled on the ground.
Kaxiu stomped his feet lightly, and suddenly the fountain in front of him began to tremble, and the white pool water kept shaking. Then a large number of white beetles sprayed out of the fountain, squeaking non-stop.
"Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh..."
One after another, the corrosive acid shot over.
Kaxiu's figure quickly dodged, and then his right hand suddenly turned white, and a rotating airflow formed rapidly in the palm of his hand.
The flat spherical airflow hummed extremely unstably.
Just when he was about to lose control, he threw it over.
The blue wind mass hit the fountain with a whoosh, and exploded with a bang, and a fierce hurricane covered the surrounding one-meter area.
Many white beetles were crushed to pieces.
But more beetles continued to crawl out.
They moved forward in groups.
On the other side, Kaxiu's figure was no longer on the bottom platform. A shadow flashed by one of the cave entrances.
Half an hour later, hurried footsteps were heard in a silent passage, and the white fire line at the top spread along with the footsteps.
"The style of this place seems to be the same as the ruins that Huanghun had visited..." Kaxiu thought as he ran wildly.
His figure flashed at the end of the passage, and a moment later, the sound of dense insects climbing sounded at the intersection of the gray-white passage.
This group of white beetles is really persistent.
Five minutes later, Kaxiu rushed into a passage like a whirlwind. His pupils shrank slightly, but his footsteps did not stop for a moment. Instead, he burst out with all his strength and ran wildly.
In an instant, he appeared at the end of the passage.
The next second, a total of twelve gray-white stone statues on both sides of the passage revived and moved. Stone chips peeled off at the joints, and the stone statues raised their heads one after another, revealing twelve strange human faces with different emotions.
Crying, laughing, angry, roaring...
Their movements quickly changed from stiff to smooth, and each of their huge bodies took steps and chased in the direction of Kaxiu's escape.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, dense climbing sounds were heard at the entrance of the passage. The last stone statue turned its head, and a white torrent squeezed in, instantly covering all the stone statues.
"Hiss hiss..."
The highly corrosive acid almost became a rain.
"Roar roar roar!"
Hearing the deafening roar behind him.
Kaxiu's steps became faster.
After a few hours, Kaxiu, who was running barefoot, was almost speechless. What a big deal, isn't it? It's just stepping on a white beetle to death? As for coming out in full force and chasing him for three or four hours!
He was a little embarrassed now, and there were traces of acid corrosion on the surface of his body. In addition to a pair of shorts that were almost crotchless, Kaxiu even threw away the shoes that were suspected to be stained with pheromones. However, the swarm of insects still persisted, and he suspected that he was also stained with pheromones. But there was no water source in the ruins to wash.
So Kaxiu could only run for his life, relying on the amazing physical strength of the three node cycles to keep fleeing. During this period, he also encountered many other dangers in the ruins. For example, the blood-sucking vines hanging on the cave wall, the half-human-sized magic flower mantis, the human-faced flower with strong hallucinogenic pollen, the mutant three-headed python, etc.
The above-mentioned dangers seemed to be killed by the white beetle. He seemed to have provoked an ultimate boss at the beginning.
Squeak... Squeak...
In a hall full of plants, some monkey-like creatures hung on the vines. When Kaxiu rushed all the way, he kept attacking with weapons and frantically obstructed.
Fortunately, Kaxiu practiced hard qigong and rushed out.
The annoying monkey screamed and seemed to want to chase.
The next second, a white torrent swept the entire hall.
The torrent receded, and a large number of monkey skeletons fell from the vines. It smashed to the ground, shattered, and smoked.
Ten minutes later.
Kaxiu rushed to the end of a tunnel, but to his astonishment, it turned out to be a dead end! There was a sound of climbing at the entrance of the rear tunnel, and a large number of white beetles poured in.
"Fuck!"
He smashed his fist on the wall as if to vent his anger.
"Huh?! This wall seems to be empty?"
At the same time, in a vast hall.
The dome extended widely, and the top seemed to be an unknown mural painted with black and red paint. In the center of the hall was a very, very large pool, and in the center of the pool was a stone pillar submerged in water.
In the gap between the hall and the pool, dense red rituals spread like a spider web. There were incomprehensible unknown symbols on it, like tadpoles.
And now, these symbols are lighting up one by one.
Ten mysterious people in black robes were kneeling on the ground devoutly, constantly muttering awkward pronunciations. It seemed to be some kind of mysterious and weird prayer. Their fingers were pressed on the ground, and they were bleeding continuously. The blood that flowed out seeped into the rituals on the ground, as if it was stimulating and resurrecting something.
"ki tu gi a ba a ba..."
The prayers became louder and louder, reaching a certain limit.
Suddenly, all the rituals on the ground turned red.
The calm pool water turned into a transparent golden color like amber, a steam rose up, and the hall was banging.
Wait, bang! ? This has never happened before during the ceremony. Many black-robed people raised their heads and looked at the pool with doubtful eyes. Could it be? Could it be!
A black-robed person murmured excitedly: "Finally..."
Bang!
The dome exploded, and a piece of stone wall fell down.
Then a shadow jumped into the pool with a splash.
"What's going on?! Who is that person?!"
"He fell into the holy pool!!!"
"Bold!"
"No, the ceremony has been completed and cannot be stopped!"
All the black-robed people stood up suddenly and shouted.
Hualala... Hualala... Hualala...
A white river seemed to be crawling down the cave wall above my head, and there was a hissing sound from the friction between the limbs and the wall.
The next second, the chaotic voices turned into shouts.
"Damn it, it's a scarab, run!!!"
