Because black beetles are highly poisonous, a lot of time was wasted during the cleanup process. Originally, according to Terra's prediction, it would be over in ten minutes. But in the end, it took about twenty minutes to clean up. Since I couldn't touch the black beetle fragments with my hands, I could only use some simple tools made with limited supplies to push things down the stone stairs. Clear the steps.
All the cleaning mercenaries, after cleaning up all the debris, rested for only twenty minutes before setting off again. Although everyone is very tired, they must set off when the specified time is up, and there is no other way.
This time, Terra still led the team in the front, the superpower walked in the middle, and finally William led the team in the back. However, the other members of the mercenaries were left behind. When they came in, the rear team began to explore the way, while the front team was responsible for the safety of the rear team. Therefore, when Chen Mo followed the team at this moment, he was walking in front.
This time, the entire team had to be much more careful, and when passing through any dark cave entrances, they would check carefully. Everyone would observe and observe again when passing by, and then pass quickly and carefully.
Moreover, a fluorescent stick must be thrown into each hole as lighting. When other people pass by the hole, they must check before passing by.
The impact just now was too deep in my memory, especially the creature like the black beetle, which came like a wave, leaving everyone who saw it with lingering fear.
Just now at the entrance of the cave, before the mercenaries could even react, several people were lost. Such losses can actually be avoided. Even Chen Mo couldn't help but take a look when he passed the entrance of the cave. He was now playing the role of a mercenary, so naturally he had to look a little bit different.
Besides, he was also curious whether some little monsters would come out of the dark hole again.
The team marching in front slowly went down the stone staircase, and the superpowers in the middle followed suit. This time the team was closer together, mainly because they could provide better support in the event of an emergency.
Watching the team move forward, Tina stood on the platform without moving, but stared at the team member who had been burned to ashes in front of her, her expression full of thoughts.
"Captain Tina, do you know anything about this black beetle?" Yam asked. Seeing Tina's expression, he naturally thought that his captain might have some thoughts about Black Beetle.
Tina nodded, and then said: "I have heard of it, but I have never seen it. This is the first time I have seen it. I didn't think of it at first, but I only remembered it when I heard you mentioned the poison. In addition, , In fact, when I came here, I read a description of this black beetle from a historical biography. Moreover, it’s not just me who knows about it, the two of them should also know about it.”
The two people she was talking about were the two Cambodian guides. Now she was standing behind her. Wherever Tina went, these two natives followed her and moved forward. The situation just now actually frightened the two of them, so they still felt a little shivering.
Originally, hiring these two people was just to take Tina to the entrance and complete the guide task. However, because she was worried about leaking secrets, Tina added money again and let the two guides come in together.
Although money is not everything, money can solve most problems. Originally, the two indigenous guides did not want to continue, and according to the legend they heard, people who went down from the entrance never came out again!
Because the two of them were determined not to go. But Tina added the money bit by bit, breaking the two people's inner defenses, and naturally nodded in agreement. However, as a thought, it is natural to have safety guarantees when going down here. Along the way, Tina actually arranged for superpowers to protect the two of them.
But after the two of them saw Tina's mental storm, and all the little monsters were being killed by the mental storm, the two of them followed Tina and became her tail.
Of course, Tina saw these two Cambodian guides very clearly. Now is the time when these two people are needed, so she naturally protected them. But what will happen to these two guides after the mission is over? The outcome has already been determined. How can a greedy person get out alive?
After hearing what Tina said, the two people also nodded. He replied: "In legends long ago, it was said that the Khmer kings were descendants of Nagas, and this Nagas were Hydras. After the death of all Khmer kings, their tombs were filled with creatures led by Nagas. Guard the mausoleum. This black beetle is one of them. It was summoned by Naga from its divine kingdom, and fed on the essence and blood of humans and animals, multiplied the population, and guarded the mausoleum."
"This kind of black beetle is actually called a zombie in legend," another guide said.
After hearing this, Yam could only have questions on his face. Because this explanation really feels quite mysterious.
"Isn't it very fantasy?" Tina asked.
"Yes!" Yam nodded and said.
"I didn't believe it from what I read in the biography. But seeing this creature this time really made me question the knowledge I had learned before." Tina was also doubting life. She had only heard about it before. I thought it was just a man-made legend, but I didn’t expect to actually see it this time.
"This one called Shi Lai has actually seen the real thing. Although I don't believe that he was summoned from the Kingdom of God, nature is magical, and maybe it is also a species. But it is a bit strange to say that the Khmer King is from Naga. It's easy to say. After all, humans are humans, how could it be Hydra? Maybe this is just a rumor!" Yam said while shaking his head.
"Everyone has doubts about the rumors of Hydra, because no one has seen such a thing. However, there are many legends in the world, all related to Hydra." Tina said.
"Oh? The legend there?"
"For example, the legends of the Khmer Dynasty that we are talking about now include Hydra Naga. There is also the legend of Hydra from ancient Greece, there is also the legend of Yamata no Orochi in small books, there is also the legend of Xiangliu from China, and the Aha from ancient Persia. There are descriptions of these creatures in Zhida Haqi, as well as in the Black African continent, including the Bible, and the stories of their nine snake heads are described in detail. There are even paintings and detailed paintings in some myths and legends. A picture of Hydra came out," Tina said.
Yam was really surprised when he heard it. I didn't expect that the whole world is so big, but there are such similar places.
"Okay, legends are legends. We don't need to explore anything. This time we just need to get what the organization wants. In addition, knowing what this kind of thing is, we can be more prepared." After Tina finished speaking, she waved her hand. Let everyone follow the team, and the two Cambodian natives naturally followed behind her.
Yam thought for a while, but finally did not open his mouth to explore. What exactly did the organization want everyone to come here to get? Is it related to the burial of the Khmer King?
After all, he still didn't ask, just be yourself.
In fact, not far away, because Chen Mo has become a forward pathfinder, he is also a sniper and a soy sauce guy, so he happens to be walking at the end of the team, next to the predecessors of the superpowers. With.
Therefore, when Tina was speaking, Chen Mo, as a cultivator, naturally had first-class hearing. He was not too far away from Tina, so he could naturally hear her clearly.
After hearing the conversation between the two and the end of the conversation after Tina said a little, he was even more anxious than Am. This guy should ask, how do you know what exactly this trip is going to do and what the goal is. What.
Chen Mo really wants to know what he wants to get, and whether he can benefit from it. If you know that you are not very interested, then you can just find a way to get the piece of jade from Tina and get out of the way. There is no need to continue with this group of people.
However, the man named Yam didn't speak, which made Chen Mo anxious for him.
Seeing that Tina had no intention of explaining, Chen Mo no longer had the need to cock his ears and continued to follow the team.
However, just as he was going down the stone stairs, he felt that the air here was flowing faster and faster, and the cold air made him very uncomfortable. Although he is not afraid of hot or cold now, he is very sensitive to temperature changes, so he can feel even if the temperature drops slightly.
Moreover, while walking, the flowing air seemed to be mixed with traces of low words. Although it's not clear, it feels a bit like someone is chanting a spell.
However, the wind generated by the flow of air here blows the caves everywhere and makes a whining sound, which seriously interferes with all hearing. Therefore, unless you are a person with sensitive hearing like Chen Mo, you will not be able to hear the low sound of the wind. The sound of chanting a spell.
Ah! It would be fun if there really was a spell in the wind. Maybe this spell is the command for the next monster attack.
Or, he looked at the monster fragments at the bottom of the cliff. This spell might have awakened these fragments. Especially since he didn't know it until he looked at it, he found that in this cold air, the fragments piled underneath were changing little by little, seeming to be combining with each other and slowly recovering. .
Chen Mo's vision is not affected by the environment, although now everyone relies on headlights and fluorescent sticks for illumination to look down on things. But he could see as if it were daylight, so the things underneath were displayed in detail in his eyes.
These monsters can really recover! It turns out that what he just guessed was not wrong. The little monsters that rushed out of the passage from the team were the same little monsters that had been killed in the passage before.
Chen Mo was really curious about this underground space and these monsters. I have never seen it before, nor have I had the opportunity to see it. Now that I have the opportunity, let’s take a closer look!
