Mei Qian felt bitter in his heart. In fact, before entering the underground, he had imagined what it was that could bring him such a strong sense of crisis, like a natural enemy.
It might be a monster, or it might be some kind of deadly toxin or mechanism.
Now it is certain that the thing is a living creature, and at least it can travel freely through the underground maze.
It's a pity that he endured inexplicable temptations along the way, turning around here and there, but still didn't avoid them.
The other party seemed to have sensed his presence, and was chasing after him very purposefully, and the speed was very fast, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
As a result, Mei Qian had no confidence that he could lead everyone out of the underground before the monster came.
So, before the crisis was about to come, he asked others to run away.
Zhang Yu and Ning Chi, who had cooperated with him, quickly understood what he meant. Although they did not find any danger, they did not say anything and led the others to run quickly in the direction of Mei Qian's finger.
Mei Qian, holding the Mingquan Knife, slowly followed the crowd, sensing with his heart from time to time to guard against sudden attacks by monsters.
Fortunately, the expected danger did not occur, and the thing in the sensor suddenly slowed down.
Taking advantage of this moment, Mei Qian quickly urged everyone to leave quickly.
But for some reason, Zhang Yu in the team stopped, looked at him with an incomprehensible look, and tapped his feet with his chin.
"The Ronin Begins with Douluo"
Mei Qian was stunned for a moment, then looked down and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
At this moment, they had arrived inside the stone chamber and were at the edge of the altar surrounded by four huge stone pillars.
He lowered his head and could clearly see the black and red lines on the altar, which made him feel very familiar.
Therefore, even though he was extremely anxious, he still stopped like Zhang Yu.
"Is it the third one?" Zhang Yu sighed softly.
Mei Qian pulled her friend along with mixed emotions, and the two of them continued to catch up with everyone.
It took less than half a minute from the time everyone entered the stone chamber to the time they left at the altar, but Mei Qian's mind had already been racing countless times.
He originally thought it was just a parallel time and space on Earth, but his experiences in the past two years have made him increasingly unclear about this world.
What’s even weirder is that altars from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods have appeared one after another recently, all related to him.
The Dongshan Warring States Ancient Tomb first appeared in his mind, and he was then taken to the scene as a suspect. As a result, he was hit by an earthquake, and he successfully discovered the blood-stained altar and the bones underneath that almost filled the deep cliff.
The Xiadu Ancient Tomb was quite bizarre. It started out as a bad idea, but actually appeared. Compared to the bones left in Dongshan, the giant snake underground really impressed him.
Now, due to a disappearance, he and Zhang Yu appeared here again.
Yes, although the location, environment, and construction style were completely different from the previous two, he was absolutely sure that the altar under his feet was the same as the altars that existed in Dongshan and Xiadu.
This realization almost made him feel so heavy that he felt suffocated, such a strong sense of fate.
Qi State, Yan State, and now it is Chu State's turn. Are there still four altars waiting for him?
What's even more terrible is that the thing raised here is definitely alive, and it is a huge multi-legged creature.
During the running process, he could clearly hear the dense and heavy footsteps in his ears, like the constant beating of war drums, which was extremely oppressive.
Of course, after all kinds of questions and emotions flashed through his mind, he suppressed them.
It doesn't matter whether the person worshiping here is a big snake, a centipede, or even a giant lazy toad. The most important thing is to leave here as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the strange sound in her ears disappeared completely, Mei Qian's steps paused slightly, and then sped up a bit.
Although no footsteps could be heard, the sense of crisis in my heart became stronger, indicating that the monster was already nearby.
The entrance to the corridor ahead was right in front of him, and it looked like he could run in in just a few steps. But at this moment, Mei Qian's alarm bells blared in her heart, and she jumped forward without thinking, and even grabbed Zhang Yu.
And just after he and Zhang Yu turned into gourds and left far away, there was a loud noise from where they were standing, and smoke filled the air for a moment, followed by sharp and terrifying roars that kept echoing in the underground space.
Fortunately, the monster did not continue to attack, allowing Zhang Yu and Mei Qian to get up from the ground and run into the corridor with everyone.
According to Mei Qian's idea, a monster making such a loud noise should alert Da Pang, like the giant snake underground in Xia Capital, that as long as it enters the tunnel, it will be much safer.
Therefore, at this time, he had the leisure to look back.
"What the hell is this?" The strong light shone on the scene where the dust gradually dissipated, and everyone couldn't help but feel numb. Zhang Yu even raised his gun and cursed.
The thing that appeared in front of me was definitely a monster.
At first, the smoke was shrouded, and a thick shadow was dimly revealed inside, making Zhang Yu and others suspect that it was another big snake.
As the monsters gradually reveal their lineup, their ferocious and strange appearance is truly chilling.
The thing that most resembles this thing is a giant centipede, which is about ten meters long by visual inspection, but what is different from the giant centipede is that its abdomen is densely packed with slender, centipede-like claws.
But if it is said to be a centipede, Mei Qian can see it more clearly than others. The claws are not the barbs of arthropods at all, but are fleshy, rather like human palms.
"Thousand-thousand-armed Guanyin?"
Mei Qian: "..." God is the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara.
He only paid attention to the movements of the monsters and didn't pay any attention to who in the team was speaking. Anyway, it was either Liang Qian or Ning Chi. He didn't know if he was really big-hearted or had a great talent for comedy, but he could still say such witty words in this situation.
But, well, this description is quite appropriate.
The monster in front of us, baring its teeth and claws, with its slender claws dancing, doesn't it resemble the mythical Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara? It's just that the two cold-looking giant swords at the corners of its mouth have no sense of sanctity at all, and are just disgusting.
.
But the next moment, Mei Qian realized something was wrong.
The people who were thinking about the same thing as him were Zhang Yu and Ning Chi. They looked at each other and could see each other's bitterness.
Then without saying a word, he grabbed Maomao and the others who had not yet reacted and rushed deeper into the corridor.
They finally knew where the dense bloody fingerprints they saw in the corridor came from.
This means that the monster in front of you can come and go freely in the corridor, why don't you run away now?
Mei Qian had other ideas. Instead, he stepped out of the corridor and looked directly into the monster's vicious and cold compound eyes.
The calculation was wrong. He knew that in the corridor, he and the others had no speed advantage at all with their two legs, and all of them would be devoured by the monsters.
Then he could only delay it for a while, even though when he faced the monster, he felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end and his heart beat uncontrollably.
But he had to stand up and buy time for others, and even take the opportunity to kill the other party.
He let out a long breath and couldn't help but hold the Mingquan knife tightly.
This time will be the biggest existential crisis in his life...
