"Listen to me and don't move!"
Hearing Mr. Li's shouts, Hong Laojiu and others had no intention of stopping. They counterattacked and escaped completely out of subconsciousness.
The crazy monster didn't care at all. Hong Laojiu and others didn't even have time to change their ammunition. After losing their resistance, they completely became lambs at the mercy of it.
puff!
Another subordinate was caught by the monster with half of his body penetrated. The man was torn in two by the monster before he even had time to scream.
Blood and internal organs flowed all over the floor. The other one was so frightened that he retreated to the corner while rolling and crawling. In the end, he still couldn't escape the monster's deadly spikes.
Even Hong Laojiu had one of his arms taken off and one of his legs was pinned under a collapsed stone pillar, and he was about to die there.
"Jin Jue, save him."
The skin on half of Grandpa's face has been corroded and peeled off, and the originally strong side face is covered with blood-red pus blisters, which looks very scary.
After pulling off a piece of cloth and wrapping it tightly around the wound, Grandpa and Mr. Li understood the situation clearly and surrounded the monster on both sides.
"Hind limb joints!"
The two of them fired almost at the same time, taking advantage of the gap when the monster collided with the stone pillar, and all the bullets were fired.
Roar!
The monster was knocked out of center by the attacks of Grandpa and Mr. Li, and its fatal claw hit the stone pillar.
Hong Laojiu was lucky enough to survive, and his face looked as pale as if it were painted with white wax.
"Chen Ze, take the others and retreat first!"
Grandpa picked up an Oriental knife on the ground and touched it in the direction of Hong Laojiu under the cover of Mr. Li.
"Senior, I can only keep my legs and my life. I'm sorry!"
With one slash, Hong Laojiu fainted from the pain. Grandpa pulled a piece of death cloth around his wound and dragged Hong Laojiu out of the pile of rocks.
On the other side, Mr. Li was a little embarrassed when he was chased by monsters.
Fortunately, that thing is now only at the end of its power, relying entirely on the biological instincts of its brain to hold on.
I have to say that the shell of this thing is really hard. When bullets hit it, it only made small holes. In some places, there were even bullets stuck on it.
If it escapes to the ground, it will be a disaster
Unless heavy weapons are used, it is really difficult to deal with, and ordinary people have no power to resist it.
"Take him away first!" Grandpa dragged Hong Laojiu under the stone gate where Chen Ze and others retreated, and then turned back.
"What are you doing back here!" Mr. Li yelled.
Roar!
The monster kept roaring, almost forcing Mr. Li to a dead end.
"Walk!"
At the critical moment, Grandpa pounced and rescued Mr. Li from the clutches of the monster. The two of them rolled on the ground. Before Mr. Li could react, Grandpa kicked his body away.
"You!" Mr. Li rolled up from the ground and wanted to step forward to help, but was shouted back by his grandfather again.
"Don't hold me back, let's go!"
Looking at his grandfather fighting with the monster, Mr. Li knew that his grandfather was concerned about his safety, but he couldn't just watch his grandfather die.
Although that thing was already at the end of its strength, a lean camel was bigger than a horse. What's more, grandpa was already injured. No matter how powerful he was before, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed now.
"Jin Jue!" Grandpa dodged the monster's impact and shouted, "Don't forget what you came to do!"
Grandpa's words were like a thunderbolt exploding in Mr. Li's heart.
Huo Yuanshan and Xu Zixue have been in the lead for a long time, and may have reached the core position at this time.
Mr. Li was anxious about making decisions before and after.
"You...don't die!"
He was reluctant in every possible way, but Mr. Li could only choose the latter.
Ever since he followed his grandfather here, some things were beyond his control.
In the end, he could only choose to believe that his grandfather could come back alive.
Carrying the unconscious Hong Laojiu on his back, Mr. Li retreated deeper along the passage. After a long time, he saw a faint light in front of him.
Kaka.
Those people were very alert, and the sound of the gun bolt being pulled was extremely clear in the darkness.
"Alliance...leader?" A probing voice came over.
It's Chen Ze.
Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief and carried the unconscious Hong Laojiu to join Chen Ze and the others.
Fang Feiyan seemed to have suffered internal injuries, and Chen Ze was standing by her side with half of his arms bare.
"Why is it you, where are the others?" Chu Yuxuan, who was sitting under the stone wall, stood up, and Mr. Li saw a flash of worry in her eyes.
"Let's go." Mr. Li didn't answer. He was equally worried, but there were more important things to do.
Even if that person can't come back, you can't look back.
"The leader will definitely be fine. No one in this world can hurt him!" Chen Ze clenched his fists.
To him, Grandpa is a nearly invincible existence.
Not just Chen Ze, but the entire Chen family, and even the entire Spirit Alliance.
Even if the sky falls, that man can still hold up a way out.
By the dancing firelight, Mr. Li looked at his watch.
It had been 10 hours since they came in, and everyone's tiredness was written on their faces.
Walking down a set of stone steps, a stone chamber appeared in front of you again.
The stone chamber has no door, but it is polished and shiny. Under the light of a torch, it is as bright as amber and beeswax.
Mr. Li walked closer and found that it was covered with a layer of the same material as the previous stone wall.
With some doubts, everyone entered one after another.
"Wait!" After taking a few steps, Mr. Li was stunned.
The innermost part of the stone chamber was filled with fleshy eggs, each as big as a bull's head, and the surrounding stone walls were covered with dark yellow mucus.
Some of the fleshy eggs have been broken open for a long time, leaving only shriveled empty shells, but a few have obviously been broken open recently, but the young animals inside are missing.
Only a few were gnawing on the corpses of their own kind on the ground.
Many dead cubs could be seen on the ground, mixed with the bones of some humans and beasts.
"This..." Chen Ze was so frightened that he took several steps back, his voice trembling, "Third Master, we are not going to go through here..."
Looking at the fleshy eggs that had not yet broken open, Mr. Li also felt a little numb.
Those hatchlings may be lurking in some corner.
No wonder the giant beast outside is so crazy, maybe it is guarding the insect eggs here.
Mr. Li carefully scanned around and found that there were no traces of a battle in this stone chamber.
Those corpses were all from a long time ago.
In other words, Huo Yuanshan and the others have never been here.
Think about it for a moment.
Where the giant beasts fought before, there were several passages everywhere. In that environment, they could only choose at will.
This is the lair of those monsters. Huo Yuanshan and the others know this place well and will definitely avoid such dangerous places.
Looking around, although there are a lot of these flesh eggs, they are not as scary as imagined.
What is terrifying is the terrifying number of beasts and insects after the eggs are broken.
As long as you don't disturb them, you can still get through.
Mr. Li motioned for everyone to retreat and picked up a few long nails in his hands.
Whoosh!
Almost instantly, more than twenty spikes were shot out and flashed through the dim stone room.
squeak!
The cub has just taken shape, only about one foot in size, and its skin exoskeleton has not yet metamorphosed to the point of becoming invulnerable.
The spike pierced the body of the cub, and it twitched and flapped its wings that had not yet molted on the ground.
A few cubs that were not shot seemed to have noticed something and crawled out from their hiding places, the tentacles above their heads trembling in the air.
Mr. Li didn't give them a chance to resist, and shot out several more spikes.
After killing all the cubs crawling outside, Mr. Li waved his hands to Chen Ze and the others.
The feeling of stepping on the mucus mixture on the floor was indescribably weird and disgusting.
In order not to disturb those fleshy eggs, Mr. Li and the others tried their best to avoid anything that might trigger danger.
The dark golden crystal clots on the stone wall where they came from before were probably formed by the accumulation of mucus that dried over time.
Everyone was extremely vigilant, even breathing became cautious.
Those fleshy eggs were piled up all around irregularly, vibrating as if they were breathing. If you were not careful, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The surroundings were so quiet that Mr. Li could hear his own heartbeat.
This is an independent secret room. If there is a way to get out, it must be under the pile of meat and eggs.
It was vaguely visible that there were three sarcophagi standing on the stone wall covered in mucus.
The coffins are three meters high and arranged horizontally. The coffins are black and carved with stone patterns, entangled like vine roots. A huge round object is carved on the top of the coffins.
Among the three sarcophagi, one has fallen to one side and its lid has disappeared. Although the middle one remains upright, its lid has fallen down and there are two eggs stuck inside.
Under the dried mucus shell, a human-shaped black thing could be vaguely seen.
Only the sarcophagus on the far left is still well preserved, but there are also several huge meat balls stuck to the top and lid of the coffin.
Obviously, if you want to open the coffin, you must first get rid of those time bomb-like things.
Seeing the complete sarcophagus, Chen Ze became energetic, but his eyes swept over the flesh and eggs on the ground, and he looked at Mr. Li with a sad face.
Mr. Li was also a little worried. These eggs were really untouchable, but he carefully looked at the structure of the stone chamber. If there was a mechanism that could pass through here, it would definitely be behind the stone coffin.
"Perhaps..." Chu Yuxuan suddenly spoke, with a little uncertainty in his tone, "The previous beast egg hatched and ruptured quickly after it came into contact with human blood. If you just moved it, there might not be any problem. "
"What you said is easy!" Chen Ze retorted, "It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, we will all be ruined!"
Mr. Li listened and quickly recalled the previous scene under Hong Laojiu in his mind.
The egg was indeed broken open from a place infected with human blood.
Think again of the mummies in the sacrificial room. Before death, they were tied to the stone bed and soaked in animal eggs with blood to complete the sacrifice.
Perhaps, as Chu Yuxuan guessed, these beast eggs need the stimulation of blood to rupture.
Thinking of this, Mr. Li was heartbroken.
Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, there is no other choice anyway.
"Third... Third Master..." Seeing that Mr. Li was already heading towards the sarcophagus, Chen Ze swallowed nervously. Mr. Li signaled them to be ready to retreat if there was any danger. If there is any abnormality, evacuate this place immediately.
With the beast eggs so close in front of him, Mr. Li finally gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand...
