Buzz... Boom...
A large mass of rock-white "stream" rushed out from the side passage, almost covering half of the space. This was a terrifying insect tide composed of a large number of scarabs, carrying a sweeping momentum.
The insect tide slapped against the rock wall, making a banging sound. The entire cavity space was shaken noticeably, and the gray and white wall dust fell down one after another.
At the top of the blood pool, on the uppermost coffin on the left, in the darkness, a high-ranking vampire dressed as an aristocrat was panicking.
It clenched its fists tightly together, and its sharp nails pierced into the flesh without stopping. At this moment, the young man's whole body was extremely tense. However, due to the danger outside, he forced himself to close his eyes and reduce all body functions to the minimum.
The outside insect swarms made a series of rumbling sounds when they climbed, and each one could make the young man's eyelids jump. He had no elegant aristocratic temperament, but instead looked like a prisoner in a prison.
I was afraid that someone would suddenly call me out and sentence me to death.
Snap, snap, snap, snap…
Suddenly, there was a sound like raindrops hitting the coffin. It was the sound of insect limbs crawling.
The young blood clan man's eyelids twitched, and he prayed in his heart. He was awakened by the noise just now, and opened the coffin lid with a sealed effect. It is very likely that a breath has leaked out. I hope these scarabs are not so sensitive and leave here quickly.
Phew!
The young man suddenly felt an unimaginable pain in his abdomen and opened his eyes abruptly. He was shocked to see an insect limb that looked like a long rock-white knife piercing through the coffin and piercing his body.
"This is… "
Kaala! Half of the coffin was violently torn apart.
The high-level vampire with the appearance of a young man was lifted directly into the air, and he saw with horror a two-meter-long scarab!
The carapace is thick and wrinkled like a tortoise shell, with strange and dense patterns on it. The elbow joints are like spiders, the tips are like blades, and the surface is covered with dense tempered hair.
Especially the head, when magnified hundreds or thousands of times, the beetle's mouthparts are simply the most creepy and disgusting thing in the world!
"No!
!”
The young man roared, trying to transform into his true form as a vampire. But his shouting stopped abruptly, as it turned out that his head was bitten off by a giant scarab, leaving only a headless corpse spewing blood.
Shining!
The giant insect's limbs fell like sharp swords, splitting it in two. The surrounding insects swarmed over, enjoying the special vapor produced by the contact between the corrosive liquid and the blood clan's energy.
Half a minute later.
The swarm of insects surged past, moving farther and farther away. This area of space returned to tranquility, except for the traces of mess on the ground.
Another ten minutes passed.
A coffin in the pool of blood seemed to shake.
Half an hour later.
With a click, the coffin lid opened and a black shadow suddenly jumped out from inside. It flew into the air like a cannonball and grabbed the cave wall with both hands, like a giant humanoid gecko.
It turned its head, revealing a face as pale as a dead person. It was wearing a luxurious evening gown, with a bunch of long-rotten flowers stuck on its chest. It was obvious that it was a high-level vampire like the young man just now.
The man took a deep look at the situation inside the cave wall.
Only after confirming that there was no danger did he slowly descend.
The first thing it saw was the torn coffin next to the pool of blood, with scarab bite marks on it. Turning its head to look at the ground, the man's eyes shrank. It was three pieces of bones, as if they had been soaked in sulfuric acid. The shrinkage and corrosion were so severe that the specific shape could hardly be seen. Only by careful observation could it be found that it was two parts of the body and a head.
“Dead?!”
This is the first reaction.
“Scarab Tide!
!”
This is the second reaction.
The man immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. After observing the corpse for a while, he found that it seemed to be a little more serious. Not only was there a scarab tide, but even giant scarabs had come out! This meant that it was not a normal scarab riot.
Instead, someone broke into the ruins and angered the scarab swarm!
The vampires had some knowledge of the Akaba Ruins. The first five areas alone were full of dangers, with traps, poisons, and alien species appearing one after another, not to mention the next few levels.
Among them, there is a very special existence, that is the scarab. They are also a dangerous component, but they have another identity, that is, the sweeper.
It seems that the ancient civilization of the Aqaba Ruins had designed it when it was built. Every once in a while, a terrifying wave of scarabs would burst into the passage and sweep into every corner of the upper three floors in a short period of time, killing the alien species that were constantly born.
It can be called a terrible natural disaster among the ruins.
As for the lower three floors, they are different. The upper three floors are underground buildings that humans can build, while the lower three floors are strange and mysterious mazes. The entire maze seems to be alive, with the ability to self-repair, change structure, and release alien species.
This group of high-level vampires who were sleeping had once explored the Akaba ruins relying on their immortality, but they suffered a great loss on the fourth floor, with one fifth of their members dying on the spot. They could only retreat to the first floor water vortex area to occupy a key node and transform it into a blood pool, so that all the high-level vampires could sleep and recuperate.
The man looked thoughtful, his eyes flickering. He was actually very curious about the group of people who broke into the Aqaba ruins, but it was better not to let them go out to investigate at this time. It was true that he was curious, but he really didn't want to become the excrement of insects.
Every time the man looked at the miserable corpse on the ground, he couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. He wanted to restrain himself but was afraid of being contaminated by pheromones.
Finally, he sighed and quietly returned to the pool of blood.
The man pursed his lips and finally made a heavy decision in his mind. He lifted the coffins that were originally pressed down to the side and sank his coffin to the bottom.
His movements were extremely fast, and with the help of the buoyancy of blood, he got into his own coffin before the coffins above fell.
The man did this not because he was afraid that the scarab tide might kill the vampires sleeping at the top first. He simply liked sleeping at the bottom. He preferred the quiet and safe feeling of the bottom of the water.
Well, that's right... That's right.
The man closed his eyes again.
A peaceful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, like a child sleeping.
Right now.
The first level of the Aqaba ruins, the Fengli area.
Three black figures flashed around the corner, leaving only a fragment of black clothing. The strong wind swept through the passage, and the air waves filled the cavity, bringing a distinct feeling of wind.
"Finally got through this, what a hell of a place!"
The three of them stopped at a fork in the road. Sheng Feinan couldn't help but complain. He touched his well-maintained braid, his face full of heartache. The originally glossy black hair had become dry and split, and the ends even had traces of being burned by fire.
Beside him, Feng Liusi's face was very dark. Dark in the physical sense, he was hit head-on by a ball of flames that suddenly burst out from the wall. If it weren't for the aura weakening and blocking his spirit, Feng Liusi's hair would probably be burned off and turned into a boiled egg.
Both of them had red faces, sweat on their foreheads, and their breathing was quite uneven. Only Kaxiu seemed unusually refreshed.
An hour ago, they angered the scarab swarm and entered the Tinder Zone directly. They immediately saw the true face of the Akaba Ruins, and the traps and alien species they encountered before were nothing.
As the name suggests, most of the walls of the Tinder Zone were covered with fluffy hairs like moss. Sometimes the air in the entire passage was filled with fluffy white mist like dandelion seeds.
These things are extremely flammable and have an exaggerated burning and sticking ability. Kaxiu and the other two suffered a small loss. The walls of the entire tunnel were simultaneously sprayed with flames, which directly caused the dense fluff in the air to explode, and the arrogance surged wildly.
My ears were filled with the rumbling sound of explosions and the earth was shaking.
It seemed as if it was going to flatten the entire surrounding area.
However, the three of them were lucky enough to get out without suffering too much damage. Instead, the swarm of scarabs that had been chasing them were blocked by the explosion for a while and lost.
It's a blessing in disguise of sorts.
"What on earth are those bugs? I can sense that there may be more dangerous auras under that square..."
Feng Liusi wiped his black face and said solemnly. He was the most accomplished of the three people present and had a keen sense.
There was something beneath the square that made him feel extremely dangerous.
If they were not careful, even though the three of them were strong fighters, they would probably fall here. The Akaba Ruins were indeed very dangerous, and the smooth journey before was just an illusion.
Now we are in danger! There may be more dangers of this level or even higher in the ruins behind!
Never take it lightly.
"Oh, never mind. We've got rid of them for now anyway. Let's go to the next level first. Once the ruins are completely explored, these bugs will probably have shrunk back." Sheng Feinan counted his hair with some distress while emitting cold air to cool them down.
On the side, Kaxiu remained silent. He was also a little frightened by the scarab tide, which was much more exaggerated than the last time.
Such a huge noise, like a tsunami.
I'm afraid that the high-level vampires sleeping in that unknown blood pool have all woken up. They may be looking for intruders. The three of them must always be prepared to meet these powerful dark creatures. High-level vampires are not weak!
Another thing to note is.
In the Tinder Zone just now, Kaxiu quickly witnessed the effect of his lungs becoming golems. When breathing, his lungs could filter out all kinds of impurities, and even the explosion and combustion of air that caused the oxygen to drop did not affect him. The powerful bronchial tree in his lungs could easily obtain a large amount of oxygen and filter out toxic gases.
There was no difference between breathing the air in the flames and breathing the air in normal conditions, so after several people broke out of the tinder area.
Even though Feng Liusi's breathing rate was unstable and his physical strength was greatly consumed, Kaxiu was basically not affected.
The ability of the lungs to transform into a golem is beginning to show results.
After a short rest, the three of them quickly took out the map and began to study the location of the intersection leading to the next level in the Fengli area.
"Hurricane Gardens? What kind of weird name is that?"
Saint Finan said, pointing to the area on the map.
In Kaxiu's hand, the Devil's Book showed that there was an unknown area in the southwest corner of Fengli District called Hurricane Garden. There were no traps, poisons, or dangers such as alien species marked on it. Instead, there was only a bold reminder: "There is wind."
"Windy? What do you mean?"
Kaxiu also frowned. For a fighter whose physical functions have long been inhuman, a typhoon of level 10 along the coast is not a problem. A fighter can also stand firm against wind and waves that can blow people away, unless it is a natural disaster like a tornado.
The Devil's Book only gave a brief reminder.
However, the simpler it is, the more suspicious it may be.
Soon, more than ten minutes later, the three arrived at Hurricane Garden.
Boom!
Kaxiu leaned against the cave wall, looking at the roaring gap not far away, his expression a little dazed. It was indeed worthy of being called a hurricane, and the gushing air appeared half white and half transparent. At first glance, it looked like a waterfall with a huge drop, with millions of tons of water rushing down.
"The passage to the next level is inside here?"
Saint Feinan felt a little ashamed.
The gap was so loud that it was fortunate that the air was rushing out instead of water, otherwise they might not be able to squeeze in. But then again, how did such a strong air wave work? Was there any device deep in the Hurricane Garden
"Are we going in?" Sheng Feinan glanced at the two people next to him.
"Three, two, one!"
After the countdown ended, the three of them plunged into the waterfall like three rapidly swinging spears. Kaxiu had the strongest physique, so he was at the front. Feng Liusi Shengfeinan was closely behind him to reduce wind resistance. If this area was not long, Kaxiu could hold on all the time. If he couldn't hold on any longer, the three of them would take turns, which should be enough to support him to the entrance.
Ta-ta-ta…
The sound of footsteps was swallowed up by the whistling wind.
The three of them came to a hall, their steps were difficult, and their speed was like that of an ordinary person. There were wisps of white air flowing around them, with a strong forward thrust. If a normal person was hit by such wind and waves, I'm afraid his face would be blown off.
Kaxiu put his arms together in front of him, blocking half of his vision. He looked at the road and scene of Momo Lake from both sides. The direction of advance recorded in the Devil's Book had already been memorized in his mind.
"Go through the hall, turn left, go forward. Fork in the road, third passage, go forward. Turn right, straight corridor, circular cavity..."
Kaxiu's feet were rooted in the ground like tree roots, and he braved the strong wind step by step. His muscles and Achilles tendons were like tight steel ropes, which brought great power with each contraction.
He slowly led the two of them to the left corner.
Just left the hall.
From the corner of my eye, I saw something foreign flying rapidly towards me in the passage ahead, like a crescent-shaped translucent blade.
Shining!
!
The blade was so fast that it slashed Kaxiu's arms, causing blood to spurt out. He lost his balance and was almost blown away by the strong wind. Fortunately, he stretched out his hands and forcibly pressed down the walls on both sides of the passage, retreating several meters.
"What's going on?" asked Saint Feinan from the back.
"There's an attack... again!"
Kaxiu's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly saw a series of transparent blades floating in the air, spinning wildly and accelerating. The spiral air blades were like ferocious piranhas at the bottom of a rainforest river.
The scene in front of him was dangerous, and danger was about to break out. He should have focused on it, but an inexplicable thought flashed through his mind.
"It would be great if the Blue Wind airflow could be this strong..."
