"Wujijiji——"
"Bang!" As the Sharp-billed Mountain Snake screamed, its claws suddenly expanded several feet, flying up and down rapidly, just in time to block the attack of a monster insect in front of it.
The opponent is a guy with six barbed legs and a pair of sharp giant jaws. It looks like a mole cricket. A pair of long and narrow tentacles swing "swish, swish, swish" like a whip, and it is attacking the mountain ray with great momentum.
Just now, Xu Bai and the others had entered a much wider underground area, which gradually turned into a passage to the Tianchan Grotto. When the three copper female beetles kept crawling forward, they suddenly encountered a dark brown monster insect blocking them. , exactly the one attacking the Mountain Reel now.
The copper beetle took advantage of the opportunity of the mountain ray to stop the other party, and continued to escape desperately, crawling towards the end of the tunnel. Xu Bai raised his nose and smelled it, and immediately whispered: "It's the unique smell of copper mines, brothers, it seems that we have already It’s quite close, let’s move forward and catch up.”
Bi Beiqi said at this time: "But the mountain turtle is still dealing with the monster insects..."
"Chichichichi—" Before he could finish his words, the sharp-billed mountain ray roared and rolled forward quickly, suddenly passing by the demonic insect's lower abdomen, "chichichichi—pah!" The sharp claws were flashing in the electric light. He tore open the monster's stomach, and the intestines, internal organs, and flesh were scattered all over the floor with a crashing sound.
When the three people saw this scene, they immediately cheered: "Okay!"
"Crack... bang bang!" The head of the dead demon insect was torn open by the mountain eagle with its claws, and a small ball rolled out from it. The mountain turtle thought it was a good thing, so it picked it up and stuffed it into its mouth. Binango He immediately shouted: "Don't eat it, it's a 'false demon bead'. If you eat it, you will definitely get a stomachache."
"Hey, what is the False Demon Pearl? You guys are walking really fast. This place should be dozens of feet deep underground."
Guan Heng's voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone. Xu Bai and the Bi family brothers were both refreshed and extremely happy. Bi Nange turned around and asked, "How is it? Have all the matters above been resolved?"
"Yes." Guan Hengyan briefly and concisely told the story of his encounter with Zhu Ping and Meng Ju, and then picked up the pseudo-demon bead and was about to continue asking questions, but Xu Bai hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, silverfish are crawling. There is no shadow left, hurry up and chase. If you want to ask anything, just say it as you walk."
So everyone ran forward, chasing the squirming copper beetle while talking about the "false demon bead".
It turns out that the geology here in Songuo Mountain is very suitable for the habitat of various monster insects, but these guys who are afraid of the sun usually only move underground. There are scattered copper ore residues everywhere under Songuo Mountain. Sometimes the monster insects eat too much by mistake, and their brains are The evil spirit will automatically merge with some copper slag and gradually gather into a "bead" shape.
But those small beads are not demon beads, but because the demon insects cannot absorb and digest a large amount of copper slag, and the pseudo demon beads derived from them can not only make the demon insects' heads become heavier, but also affect their own movement speed. usefulness.
"But I can still feel that there is some demon spirit presence in this bead." Guan Heng was holding the "fake demon bead" with two fingers at this moment. He thought to himself: "This thing looks quite strong. If it is used to fight People may make the other party suffer a bloody head, but they are a very convenient 'hidden weapon'."
Thinking of this, Guan Heng suddenly flicked his fingers, and four monstrous beasts suddenly appeared around him. He weighed the pseudo-monsters in his palms, and then Zhu whispered: "Go and hunt as many of those demon worms as possible nearby, and remove the ones from their heads by the way." Take out all these 'things' and keep them in your soul body for safekeeping, so that I can use them when the time comes."
The four monstrous ghosts showed their understanding, and flew away in an instant. No one expected that at this moment, the demonic insects under the Pine Cone Mountain were in bad luck.
In just a few moments, those beasts had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth. They were all miserable and miserable. Even if they died, even their heads were torn open, and the "golden bones" made of copper slag and demonic energy were taken away. Fake demon beads".
But at this time, Guan Heng and the others did not know the specific situation, because he, Jianzui Shanyu, Xu Bai and others had already tracked the silverfish to a certain place.
"Papa, dangdang..." Xu Bai stretched out his hand and knocked on the rock wall beside him. Dust and debris fell from it, revealing a piece of light yellow rock. He said: "Look, here is the mineral vein. It seems that the copper mine is The reserves are quite abundant.”
"That's right, with the large amount of ore in the Beilu underground, our Songuo Mountain will not be short of forging raw materials within a hundred years." Binango said with bright eyes at this time: "Finally found it, everyone. All the hard work was finally in vain.”
At this time, Guan Heng, Bi Beiqi, and Shan Ru were standing in front of a stone wall nearby. The three copper beetles that were squirming all the way had stopped. At this moment, they finally stretched their bodies lazily, and then lay down motionless and fell into In dreamland.
"Hey, Xiaobei, do you know how long the silverfish will sleep here?"
After listening to Guan Heng's words, Bi Beiqi scratched his head and said: "I really don't know much about it, because only the elders who study allusions in the clan know everything about the copper mother silverfish, but well, the silverfish should at least be there. They have been sleeping here for several years, and I heard they would spin silk and cocoons around themselves before waking up..."
"Isn't that just like butterflies and moths?" Guan Heng smiled slightly: "Ha, these insects are really interesting."
"No, our tribe has circulated such a legend for a long time. Copper beetles are the 'guardians' of miners." Bi Beiqi said at this time: "It is said that they can warn of upcoming dangers in the mines and wake up from their slumber. Come and make a cry to tell everyone to leave and take shelter.”
Hearing this, Guan Heng was a little surprised: "Is that so?"
"Not only that, mining ores underground is actually extremely dangerous. Water seepage and landslides can often be seen. Needless to say, sometimes the longer you stay, the more difficult it will be to breathe."
Bi Beiqi covered his neck in front of Guan Heng and looked like he couldn't breathe. He then said: "I heard from our elder that silverfish are extremely sensitive to the flow of surrounding breath even when they are sleeping. If the breath is too thin, They will also wake up manically and move to the ground, and mining people can judge whether the mine is safe or not based on their habits."
When the other party just said this, the sharp-billed mountain turtle suddenly tilted his head and walked to the side, and then scratched a few times at a strange huge stone. "Crack-boom!" His sharp claws were suddenly bounced away, and the mountain Kun was so frightened that he suddenly retreated to Guan Heng's side.
"What's wrong?" Guan Heng lowered his head and looked at the opponent's paws, and immediately frowned: "Weird thing, mountain hawks are best at digging earth and rocks underground. Not to mention ordinary rock formations, it can easily dig through them, even copper mines. Down, but the claws of mountain rays..."
At this time, Guan Heng picked up the small claws of the mountain turtle and took a look. The extremely sharp nails were broken in several places, which showed that the strange boulder in front was really unusually hard! m.
