The gray powder that was rising up one after another seemed to be the scale powder falling from the body of a moth, and it had a certain ominous smell. Zhang Chuxun and the two instinctively covered their mouths and noses, and at the same time dodged a few steps back.
This action seemed to have triggered some mechanism. In an instant, all the mountains of bones piled around the stone gate collapsed and fell into the water. The broken bones turned into dust and pressed towards the place where they were like mist.
"Back up! Back up quickly!"
Zhang Haike shouted and reminded Wu Xie and others who were about to come around that it was taboo to inhale some strange things in a place like this.
Wu Xie and Fatty had just come over while dripping in the water. They hadn't figured out what was going on. At first glance, they saw that the sky was filled with white powder that seemed to be covered in alkaline gas, so they had to turn around and run towards the depths of the pool.
.
The fat man made a leap and dived into the water, holding on tightly with his other hand, forcing Wu Xie into the water as well.
The two of them squinted their eyes and blew bubbles under the water until they couldn't hold it in any longer, and then they came out of the water to take a deep breath.
Zhang Haike didn't retreat far. When he heard the noise, he turned his head and looked at the two of them speechlessly. He simply didn't know what to say.
Shaking his head, he looked at the man who had just run faster and further and was already squatting on the turtle's head, and said with a smile: "It's just some weathered ashes, why are you running so far?"
Zhang Zhuoxun ignored him, frowning and looking at the jar of corpse oil.
One second, two seconds...for several minutes, he remained in this position motionless.
Zhang Haike paused in his smile and realized something was wrong. He silently gave Wu Xie and Fatty a signal to keep themselves hidden. Then he dived into the water and swam silently like a jellyfish to Bronze Bixi. He held a dagger in his hand and raised his hand.
Ready to go.
Under the anxious atmosphere, Zhang Zhuxun still watched patiently.
I don’t know how much time passed, but finally there was movement in the altar.
"Gudu", a bubble smaller than the eye of a needle carefully inflated, and then immediately shattered, like a crocodile hiding in the mud swamp with a single eye peeking out, with undetectable microscopic traces appearing on the surface of the corpse oil.
Lan.
A trace of murderous intent flashed across Zhang Zhuoxun's face. His sixth sense rarely made mistakes. There was indeed something hidden in the corpse oil.
He didn't need to know whether this hidden thing was the culprit of the craftsman's untimely death, he just needed to get rid of it.
Zhang Zhuoxun gestured to Zhang Haike who was guarding below, pointing to the cold fireworks pinned to the side of his backpack.
Zhang Haike understood and took out two cold fireworks and threw them to him.
Zhang Zhuxun pulled out the fuse, and the fire ignited instantly. The unknown species in the altar seemed to feel the danger, and more and more bubbles floated on the surface of the corpse oil.
Without waiting for it to take measures in time, Zhang Zhu stuffed the cold fireworks into the corpse oil, leaned back to avoid the rising flames, and jumped into the water.
It was like pouring a ladle of water on an already burning oil pan. With the blessing of the corpse oil, the fire in the Bixi altar instantly shot up into the sky, and the entire ear room was reflected red.
In the shadow cast by the water surface, Zhang Zhuxun and the two saw a long black shadow covered in flames standing upright in the fire, teeth and claws showing, twisted tentacles flapping randomly, and splashing sparks flying in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, several burning tentacles were seen resting on the edge of the round wall of the Bixi altar like human arms. Soon, more tentacles climbed up and occupied Bixi's back.
It was like a belt of fire snakes, coiled around the body without a turtle shell, its lantern-like red vertical pupils flashing with malicious light, staring eagerly at the humans below.
Zhang Zhuoxun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he touched the handle of the gun with his right hand behind his back. The moment he turned on the safety with one finger, he took a preemptive strike and fired two shots in succession with lightning speed.
With two "bang bang" sounds, one bullet hit one of the eyes of the "Fire Snake", and the other hit the neck of the "Fire Snake" as Zhang Chuxun expected. The "Fire Snake" stood up.
His whole body fell backwards, and half of his head was gone.
After firing two shots, Zhang Zhuxun showed no signs of fighting and immediately turned around and retreated.
Zhang Haike made a mistake and stepped forward to take his place.
The "Fire Snake" fell on Bixi's back and recovered after a few breaths. Its red one-eye was ferocious, and it suddenly rushed over from Bixi's side with a long chain of fire. Its sharp jaws opened,
Go straight to Zhang Haike.
Zhang Haike ducked out of the way, and when he turned around, a barrage of bullets was fired out. The waist of the "Fire Snake" suddenly folded in half, avoiding most of the bullets. It circled around the bronze crotch and then turned back. Its poisonous jaws continued to open and close, firing out bursts of bullets.
A shrill roar.
Wu Xie and the others were far away, and they only saw a long fire chain fighting with Zhang Zhuxun and the two of them. They couldn't help but exclaimed, "What the hell is this damn thing?"
The fat man looked like he had seen a ghost, "It's so big and long, is it a corpse dragon?"
Wu Xie stretched out his neck to take a look, and when he saw the sharp poisonous jaws clearly, he took a breath and said in shock: "It's a centipede!"
This centipede was not as huge as the one they saw at Yunding Heavenly Palace, but it was still two or three meters tall. Moreover, it did not seem to be afraid of fire, and the tongues of flames surging on its body added to its ferocity.
The battle in that chamber became fierce. Under the close attack from Zhang Zhuxun and Zhang Haike, the fire chain quickly climbed down from the top of the mountain like a snake, dodged into the water to avoid it, twisted its body, and stirred the pool water into a turbulent mess.
Sea of fire.
"Damn it, get out of the way, the centipede is coming towards us!"
The fat man jumped up, dragged Wu Xie and ran away. The fire chain in the water was still burning, and the centipede chased behind the two of them at a flying speed.
Wu Xie and Wu Xie each had two arms and two legs. They splashed forward in the water at a speed that was not comparable to that of a centipede with more than a dozen pairs of legs. They were about to catch up with them. Zhang Zhu looked for ammunition for the two of them.
It has also been exhausted.
Zhang Zhuxun shouted, "Give me the flare!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haike immediately opened his backpack to look for it.
Ordinary detonators are too lethal and cannot be used, otherwise Fatty Wu Xie and the three centipedes will suffer together.
During this interval, Fatty and the others threw everything they could throw at the centipede's head, which indeed hindered its progress, but at the same time, it also strengthened the centipede's idea of chasing them, because these two idiots
There are no lethal weapons at all.
"Go on." Zhang Haike found the flare gun, filled it with flares, and swung his arm to throw it to Zhang Chuxun.
Zhang Zhuxun caught the signal gun and shouted to Wu Xie, "Get out of the way!"
Wu Xie and Wu Xie, who were scurrying forward with their heads in their hands, were about to reach the stone gate and were desperate when they heard this voice, immediately stopped, rushed to both sides of the ear chamber at the same time in tacit agreement, and dived into the water with one leap.
With a "boom" sound, the scorching red light group carried a long whistle and rushed straight towards the top of the fire chain like a falling meteor.
Wow, the air in the entire space seemed to be scalded, and everyone closed their eyes tightly.
The blazing fireball flew away from the middle. Even though they were several meters away, Wu Xie and the two huddled in the water, and they could feel the flash of scorching heat causing the water to boil.
The shining signal bomb was like a thunderbolt, breaking the centipede fire chain with just one blow. After completing its mission, it continued to rush towards the wall above the stone door, and then exploded with a bang.
In an instant, flames shot out in all directions, gold, red and white intertwined, creating an extraordinary brilliance.
