Yan Chu listened carefully for a while, then suddenly raised his head, holding a torch and shining it towards his head, and others followed suit.
This photo didn't matter, but it shocked Wang Tiezhu and others.
It turned out that there were countless palm-sized gray moths densely packed on the stone wall above their heads.
Stimulated by the fire, they flapped their wings and flew into the air. Their originally gray bodies gradually emitted a faint blue light, which was exactly the same as the fluorescence on this dark river!
"Oh my God! What is this?"
Yan Ying stared blankly at the blue light moths flying in the sky before her eyes, and stretched out her hand to catch one.
"Don't move!"
Long Ruoyi suddenly stopped Yan Ying and looked at the group of moths with a serious face.
"What's wrong Zoë? There's something wrong with this moth?"
Wang Tiezhu knew that she would not stop Yan Ying for no reason, so he asked aloud.
"You may not know that this kind of moth is called the 'blood-transforming moth'. Even though they are very beautiful, they use this appearance to confuse their enemies. As long as ordinary people come into contact with it, it will turn into pus and blood.
die."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ying quickly put away her outstretched hand and hid behind Wang Tiezhu.
Long Ruoyi's eyes had begun to turn into vertical pupils, looking at the group of moths coldly.
"I have never seen so many blood-transforming spirit moths, and I now suspect that the reason why this dark river emits a faint blue light is because they laid their eggs here, and judging from their current appearance,
In order to protect our own eggs, if we want to cross the river, we must get rid of them first."
Wang Tiezhu's face darkened after hearing this. He didn't expect to encounter such a troublesome thing.
"How to deal with them? There are so many of them, use fire?"
Unexpectedly, Long Ruoyi actually shook his head, "The blood-transforming spirit moth will only become more ferocious when encountering fire. Don't you know how to throw ice spikes? Try it."
"There are so many moths, when should I throw them away?"
Wang Tiezhu cried secretly, "How do you deal with them when you encounter them?"
"run."
"run?"
"The blood moths have a strong sense of territory. Once they run out of their territory, they will not continue to attack. But do you want to run away now?"
Wang Tiezhu was speechless for a while. It was obviously impossible for them to go back the way they came and climb the towering Juetian Wall. From this point of view, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.
Using all his strength to activate the spiritual energy in his body, Wang Tiezhu opened his arms and slowly rotated in the air. A magic circle half a man's height gradually formed, and traces of extremely cold power condensed around it.
"Fire!"
Wang Tiezhu shouted angrily, and the magic circle began to operate. Countless tiny ice spikes shot out from the magic circle, hitting the blood-transforming moths flying above the underground river.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Under the attack of "Ice Spike Gatling", the blood-changing moths fell from the sky into the underground river.
Seeing this, Wang Tiezhu was overjoyed and increased his spiritual power output, furiously attacking the blood-transforming moth.
However, gradually, Wang Tiezhu noticed something was wrong. The originally calm water surface felt like it was shaking.
"Is it because I have consumed too much spiritual energy and am too weak?"
Wang Tiezhu rubbed his eyes and looked towards the river again. This time he finally saw clearly.
What kind of shaking was that? It was clearly countless blood-transforming spirit moths hatching from extremely tiny eggs, and in the blink of an eye they grew to be as big as a palm.
"Hey, Long Ruoyi! What's going on!"
Wang Tiezhu was not afraid of Long Ruoyi's claws and roared at her.
"It seems that the blood of the blood-transforming moth can help the next generation hatch..."
What made Wang Tiezhu even more annoyed was that Long Ruoyi was actually studying the hatching process of the blood-transforming moth.
"Long! Ruo! Yi!"
Wang Tiezhu looked at the moths that were beating more and more, feeling powerless for a while.
"What's it called?"
Long Ruoyi glared at him, "Can't you freeze the surface of the river?"
"Forehead……"
Wang Tiezhu scratched his head and turned off the engine.
"this……"
After coughing a few times, Wang Tiezhu could only pretend that what just happened never happened.
He held the magic circle with one hand, and used the power of extreme cold with the other hand, shooting a stream of cold air from his fingertips toward the river.
The entire river surface was frozen in an instant, and the blood-transforming spirit moths that were subsequently shot down by the ice spikes could only fall on the ice and could not touch the water, so no new moths would hatch.
"Be careful, don't use fire."
Wang Tiezhu looked at the number of moths in front of him that were several times more than before. His "Gatling" array could no longer completely cover them. Now some of the moths began to avoid the ice spikes and rushed towards Wang Tiezhu and his group from both sides.
Wang Tiezhu himself needs to control the magic circle as the main combat force against the blood-transforming spirit moth. He has no time to care about others and can only rely on them to protect himself.
Fortunately, there is still Long Ruoyi, who has such a powerful fighting force. She has now activated her dragon form, wielding a pair of dragon claws to kill everyone.
Bai Meng also released the poisonous things in his gourd, and a crowd of toads, spiders, and bats feasted on the moths like a buffet.
Yan Ying and Yan Chu held stone shields and swords with flame patterns in their hands, and protected Bai Ling.
Seeing that everyone else was safe and sound, Wang Tiezhu felt relieved and used all his strength to activate the magic circle in his hand.
Under the joint attack of everyone, the blood-transforming spirit moth was quickly wiped out.
After cleaning up the blood-transforming moth corpses on the ice, Wang Tiezhu released the power of the extreme cold, and the underground river glowing with a faint blue light appeared in front of everyone again.
"What to do with the eggs in here?"
Wang Tiezhu thought for a while and said: "We have no grievances against these moths. We just had to attack them as a last resort. If we continue to clear these eggs of theirs and hurry up, it would be outrageous. Let's do it like this. Let's cross the river as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded and agreed with what Wang Tiezhu said.
According to the previous arrangement, Wang Tiezhu took Bai Ling and Yan Ying into the underground river first.
As soon as they entered the river, the light suddenly dimmed, but fortunately there were blood-transforming moth eggs that were emitting light, so nothing could be seen.
This underground river is in the shape of a "concave". If the road was still there, Wang Tiezhu and the others would have started walking up from here. Now that it is submerged by the underground river, they need to avoid the stalactite pillars that originally grew above their heads in the water.
Arrive at another one.
The light of the blood-transforming spirit moth eggs has gradually disappeared. Wang Tiezhu was ignited with white flames and led the people in front. He passed through the dense stalactite pillars and continued to swim forward for a while. A trace of light gradually came from the water above his head.
.
"Wow!"
Several figures emerged from the calm water, and Wang Tiezhu and his party finally crossed the underground river and came to the other side.
After lighting the torch again, Wang Tiezhu began to look at the tunnel.
This tunnel is basically the same as the one before they entered the water. The only difference is that there are no blood-transforming spirit moth eggs glowing with blue fluorescence on the water.
