Jiang Cheng gathered his thoughts and finally focused on the surrounding environment.
The surroundings are very dark and it is impossible to see what is here. Xu Dingjia and Chu Xueying took out their flashlights one after another and illuminated the space. They found that they seemed to be in an underground cave. The cave is more than four meters wide, so three people walking side by side don't feel very crowded. There is no need to worry about falling meteorites here, but the smelly water on the ground and the dense honeycomb-like holes on the Yanbian mountain wall always make people feel sick and numb.
"Let's leave quickly!" Chu Xueying's voice was filled with uneasiness. She knew that there might be danger ahead, but she still couldn't wait to leave here.
Xu Dingjia closed his eyes for a while and then said: "The marked direction is indeed in front of the cave. We have no better choice but to go forward."
Jiang Cheng had no objection, but glanced at the Qiming Star on his finger with some concern.
The three of them walked forward for more than ten meters, but nothing strange happened. It was very quiet along the road, except for the occasional sound of water drops and strange rustling sounds in the small caves on the surrounding mountain walls. Perhaps because of the quietness, the sound of water drops and the strange noise in the small hole became more and more obvious. Jiang Cheng felt as if a hundred claws were scratching his heart, which made him feel very uncomfortable. The more uncomfortable it became, the more obvious and clear the sound became.
"Ah!" Chu Xueying suddenly screamed.
Jiang Cheng and Xu Dingjia immediately stopped, and the flashlight beams shone towards Chu Xueying at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Cheng asked quickly.
Chu Xueying shined the flashlight at her feet and said, "I feel like I stepped on something disgusting!"
The flashlight light focused on Chu Xueying's feet and saw a pool of thick liquid at her feet, mixed with some black beetle stumps. For a moment, it was impossible to tell what the original image of that thing was.
"What is this?" Xu Dingjia leaned over and looked at it and said doubtfully: "A bug? Judging from the stump of the limb, this bug is at least as big as the palm of your hand! What kind of bug can be so big!"
Jiang Cheng said at this time: "We must speed up our pace!"
"What?" Xu Dingjia asked.
At the same time, the small and abnormal noises around him gradually became louder. The three of them felt like they were in a heavy rainstorm, and there was no way there could be a drop of rain in the environment they were in at this time!
"Look at the small hole on the mountain wall!" Chu Xueying exclaimed.
As he spoke, a black liquid emerged from the dense holes around him. If you look carefully, you will see that there is no liquid, but countless black bugs! The bugs were small when they came out of the cave, about as big as a thumb. But after a while, each one became as big as the palm of your hand, like a flatulence. Jiang Cheng could see clearly that the bugs seemed to be cockroaches, but they had big heads, no tentacles, but two slender and sharp horns. The shiny black shell seemed to be covered with scales, and there were seven of them under their bodies. There were even more legs, trailing a barbed tail behind it.
Jiang Cheng had never seen such an ugly and terrifying monster. At the same time, he suddenly felt that his head was swollen, and he felt that countless small thoughts suddenly appeared in his consciousness. Every thought was very cruel and evil, and filled with the desire to devour everything. He immediately realized that these were not his own thoughts, but the consciousness of countless bugs affecting him!
"There's something wrong with these bugs! Run!" Jiang Cheng shouted, pulling Chu Xueying forward without any explanation.
Xu Dingjia followed closely behind, not daring to slow down at all. The target of the group of insects was very clear, which was the three people who appeared in the cave. They immediately swarmed towards the three people's escape direction like a tide.
But those swarms of bugs didn't just appear behind everyone, large swarms of black bugs also began to slowly emerge from the mountain wall in front of them where the flashlight beam shone!
Everyone had no choice but to run as hard as they could.
Xu Dingjia said as he ran: "I remember what this is!"
Jiang Cheng had to ask, "What on earth is this? Is there any way to deal with them?"
"The Nightmare Bug! It is an underground creature that mutates under the influence of urban consciousness! You must not be bitten by it, otherwise you will immediately fall into an endless nightmare. Next, you will be devoured by countless Nightmare Bugs and die! But! , How could these things appear in the ruins of foreigners?" Xu Dingjia chattered.
Chu Xueying cursed: "Is now the time to study this problem? Think about how to deal with them! We are about to be surrounded!"
Xu Dingjia tried hard to remember, and suddenly said: "I remembered it! As long as there is sunshine, these things will recede immediately!"
"This is underground! Where can I find sunshine for you!" Jiang Cheng said angrily, "Is there any other way?"
Xu Dingjia himself was also in a state of high tension, and it was very difficult to recall these things. Now that I think about it more carefully, I can't help but slow down.
Taking advantage of Xu Dingjia's slight negligence, a Nightmare Insect flew up and pounced towards his face. Jiang Chengzheng looked back and saw it, and without thinking, he stretched out his hand to slap it away.
"Be careful!" Chu Xueying blurted out.
Jiang Cheng only belatedly remembered the horror of the Nightmare Insect, but his hand had already been swatted away and there was no time to take it back.
When the evil nightmare insect noticed Jiang Cheng's palm flying towards him, it did not dodge. Instead, it spun its body in mid-air and faced the palm.
The expected terrifying scene did not happen, but a clear light appeared on the palm, blocking the space between the insect and the palm. In an instant, the Nightmare Bug let out a shrill scream, suddenly spontaneously ignited in mid-air, and turned into ashes with the wind.
Xu Dingjia was stunned and said to Jiang Cheng, "I didn't expect this ring to leave like this!"
Jiang Cheng exhaled in shock and said, "Let's leave quickly before these bugs are chasing us!"
Only then did others realize that the Nightmare Insects that had been pursuing so ferociously seemed to be frightened by this scene, and actually stopped for a moment. They seemed to be afraid of Jiangcheng's Qiming Star, but they were unwilling to retreat and always lingered around the three of them.
After escaping for the time being, Jiang Cheng did not dare to slow down. Seeing the darkness ahead, it seemed that they would have to walk some distance before they could leave this place!
Xu Dingjia felt much more relaxed at this time and said to Jiang Cheng: "I didn't expect Qiming Star to have such an ability. We should be able to leave safely now!"
Jiang Cheng's steps did not slow down at all, and he said: "When we were in the meteorite space before, I noticed that Qiming Star had consumed a lot of energy to protect us. Similar things happened once or twice, Qiming Star The energy will be completely consumed!"
Xu Dingjia took a breath when he heard this and murmured: "I suddenly remembered something!"
