The interior of the Devil's Cave is a bottomless pit with vertically steep rock walls. If you want to get to the bottom, you can only spiral down the pit along the protruding rocks on the rock wall.
Compared with other caves, the structure of this cave is extremely simple - there are no forks, no secret passages, and all roads can be seen at a glance.
But this kind of road made Li Xiao, Zhou Qing and others couldn't help but frown.
Looking around, there are giant scorpions or giant bats gathered in twos and threes on every protruding rock. The number is too numerous to count!
Not to mention the ancient roads and spiders hidden on the rock walls...
"The artifact we want to get is at the bottom of the pit." Li Xiao stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down with a telescope, "Well, you can see the artifact at a glance from here."
"Then why don't we just jump down? Anyway, the sinkhole is big enough and the parachute can be opened. Isn't there a lot of trouble left?" After observing the surroundings, Zhou Qing came up with a bold idea.
"What a good idea!" Li Xiao encouraged her first, and then said in a different tone: "However, if we jump directly, we will probably lose our bodies!"
He handed the telescope in his hand to Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing imitated his movements and looked at the bottom of the pit in confusion——
After just one glance, she quickly withdrew her gaze and retched several times with a pale face.
"Oh my god, how come there are so many?!"
The bottom of the sinkhole is a wide flat ground - the most eye-catching thing is that there are densely packed giant scorpion nests and spider nests next to each other, except around the artifact!
The kind that can make trypophobic people die suddenly on the spot!
The number of giant scorpions and spiders can be described as a flood!
Countless dead bones and remains of giant scorpion spiders were scattered around the nest, which was piled at least waist deep.
"Underground caves, there is no shortage of these disgusting things. After all, they all live here..."
Li Xiao muttered, picked up the shotgun and prepared to walk towards the descending rocks, "Why don't you just stay here, I don't think you can stand it as a woman, I can fight it alone."
"Tsk, who are you looking down on?" Zhou Qing followed him unwillingly.
"By the way, don't you feel sick when you look at these things? Why do you feel like you don't have any reaction?"
"Well..." Li Xiao shrugged, "I felt very sick at first, but when I fought my way out of the spider pile, I didn't feel anything. Maybe I got used to it."
Li Xiao gradually opened up the conversation, "You don't know that when I first explored the southern cave, that place was a spider nest! There were no guns or grenades at the time, so I just took a bow and a spear and forced myself to fight from the spiders.
Fighting in and out of the pile!
Later I took you to the southern cave, which I had cleaned several times, and the spiders were almost invisible..."
"That's when you weren't afraid of these disgusting creatures?" Li Xiao said easily, but Zhou Qing seemed to be able to feel the thrill of being alone in dangerous places.
"Well, think about it, at that time, you had to die if they didn't die. They had already gone crazy killing them. It didn't matter whether they were disgusting or not. After I came out of the cave, it seemed that I never felt sick again."
Li Xiao turned back and glanced at Zhou Qing, with an unknown light in his eyes and said: "How about you also try this method? I guarantee that you will solve it completely in one go. Be careful!!"
Li Xiao's words stopped abruptly. He quickly picked up the shotgun and fired a shot at the rock wall beside Zhou Qing.
A strange creaking sound was heard, and under the light of the fire, a huge long creature clinging to the rock wall was covered in green blood, and it twitched and fell off the cliff.
"It's Gu Malu! This thing likes to hide in the dark and sneak up on players!" Li Xiao clicked and loaded the bullet again, with a solemn look on his face.
"No more small talk! Always pay attention to your surroundings from now on! We have encountered a monster! I will open the way, you cover behind me!"
Zhou Qing nodded, stopped talking nonsense, picked up the standard rifle and followed closely behind Li Xiao.
Continuing downward, a group of giant bats soon appeared in front of them. After Li Xiao killed a few with his rifle from a distance, the remaining bats rushed over.
Cutting back to the shotgun, Li Xiao fired a shot at the group of bats - blood suddenly appeared in the group of bats, and several of the bats that were hit fell straight down!
Shotguns, a large-scale attack weapon, are extremely effective against such gathering creatures. Even if they do not hit the bats' bodies and only hit their huge wings, the powerful steel ball bullets can still penetrate their fleshy wings and shoot them.
Wear their bones!
Under the continuous firing of two shotguns, this group of nearly twenty giant bats died before they even got close to the two of them.
Stepping onto the rock where the bat was standing, Li Xiao and Zhou Qing kicked off the bat corpse on the ground and continued to move deeper.
Soon they encountered a large group of giant scorpions again, and this time Li Xiao simply threw a high-level grenade at the group of giant scorpions!
After the roar, I looked at the giant scorpions again. Green mucus was splashed everywhere. The ground was covered with the stumps and severed limbs of the giant scorpions. Their internal organs and carapace were scattered all over the ground. It was so disgusting.
Several giant scorpions at the edge of the explosion were still alive, lying on the ground waving their stumps and trying to move. Li Xiao, who was rushed over, took out a standard pistol and shot him in the head.
Walking among the debris, Zhou Qing's face turned blue and white, and her stomach was already churning, but she still endured it - looking at Li Xiao who was clearing the road with an expressionless face, an imperceptible sadness flashed through her eyes.
.
What kind of experience can turn a harmless college student into a fearless warrior?
…
Li Xiao and Zhou Qing's exploration did not have many difficulties. They used shotguns and rifles and grenades. No matter how many of these bats, giant scorpions, etc. were, they were just for free experience.
Even if the two men were approached and their whole bodies were covered in metal armor, they didn't have to worry about being hurt by these innocuous attacks.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is the ancient Malu hidden in the dark!
This thing is so annoying and disgusting! This thing is like an anti-cheating creature made by the system for players wearing metal armor. If you spit out the corrosive slime, if you accidentally get it, a big hole will be corroded into the metal armor.
.
Li Xiao, who was walking at the front, was the first to suffer the disaster. In the dim light, he only focused on destroying the giant scorpion in front of him, but did not notice the ancient horse land on the rock wall above his head.
A ball of dark green corrosive liquid fell on his visor, instantly corroding the visor until half of his face was exposed.
After turning the muzzle of his gun to shoot down the ancient millipede on the rock wall, Li Xiao quickly took off his helmet and threw the corroded helmet into a deep pit.
His movements were still a bit slow, and his face was still stained by the solution, and several bean-sized wounds were burned out. Fortunately, the wounds were all on his face and did not hurt his eyes.
"Mad! How dare you hurt my handsome face!" An angry Li Xiao fired several more shots at Gu Malu, who was still alive.
After killing Gu Malu, he turned to Zhou Qing and asked, "Am I not handsome anymore?"
Seeing that he was fine, Zhou Qing rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's okay, just treat it as plastic surgery."
"What do you mean, you mean I wasn't handsome before?"
