When more and more female corpses appeared nearby, several people on the boat stood back to back, holding weapons and watching these strange corpses floating in the water with vigilance.
However, since the female corpses had no next move, they did not take action rashly, but always paid attention to the movements of these female corpses.
Especially Chen Ziyan, who knew the specific power of this thing, secretly prayed that everything would wait until they got ashore before starting.
Even if we still have to face the Huo's Undead Insects, it will be far better than fighting in the water.
At least on land, everyone's performance will not be affected by the terrain.
And even if it is really difficult to resist, it would be easier to escape at that time, right?
However, the possibility of escaping is very low, because if possible, Chen Ziyan wants to kill the Huo's Undead Insect.
In fact, Chen Ziyan's attitude towards Huo's undead insects, which were controlled by the environment, was originally very casual.
If there is a chance to solve it, kill it. If there is no suitable opportunity, just put it aside and ignore it.
Anyway, this remnant of the ancient era can no longer leave the place where it lives, and its impact on the outside world is extremely limited. Life or death is a harmless matter.
But the problem is that just now, his system issued a task again.
And this mission happens to be about the Huo's Undead Insect.
[Ding! Choose to trigger!]
[Option 1: Kill all abnormal creatures in the gourd cave. Reward: Detailed explanation of the evil technique]
[Option 2: Kill all the evil babies in the gourd cave. Reward: Detailed explanation of the evil technique - Insect Control]
[Choice 3: Kill the Huo's Undead Insect in the Gourd Cave. Reward: Dragon Scale Demon Armor (Adapted Model)]
Regarding the three options presented this time, Chen Ziyan just took a look and made his choice.
Although he was very interested in the reward of the first option, he knew very well that only the third option had a chance of success.
Regardless of the first option or the second option, they all have one thing in common, that is, they need to kill all the evil babies in the gourd cave.
If he still has a chance against the Huo's Undead Insect, then killing all the evil babies is simply wishful thinking, at least that's what Chen Ziyan thinks.
Although it is not difficult to deal with the evil babies, let alone one or two, even if there are eight of ten together, Chen Ziyan can easily deal with them.
But the problem is that once this thing appears, there will never be just such a small number. At least there will be dozens of them together, and most importantly, there will be an endless supply. It is a type that will make anyone's heart tremble when they encounter it.
Even Chen Ziyan, who was very confident in his own strength, could only say that he could escape from the siege of the group of infants instead of fighting back.
This is not self-effacing, but he really does not have such confidence.
Chen Ziyan even felt that even Zhang Qiling could only do the same as himself when faced with a steady stream of naughty babies.
The difference may be that he is a little more relaxed than me. After all, his bloodline ability is there, and it has a restraining effect on the products of evil magic such as the evil infant.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of his domain device. He felt that with the ability of the domain device, even if he could not successfully complete the mission this time, it should not be a problem to escape.
Logically speaking, even if it is impossible to suppress Huo's undead insects, which can be classified as insects, it is still possible to make them fearful, and this provides him with room for maneuver.
As for whether the domain device can restrain the evil baby, he is not sure at all, because it is still unknown what category this thing belongs to.
While Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, Wang Kaixuan next to him suddenly touched him.
Then, he heard the fat man whisper: "Mr. Chen, the one who comes is not good, and the good one will not come. How about we attack first?"
While saying this, his eyes were fixed on the more and more corpses in the water.
Obviously, the increasing number of female corpses brought him a great sense of threat.
Hu Bayi stood aside with Wang Kaixuan this time, and also said: "We will do it when these female corpses get close. I think these things are either rice dumplings or ghosts. I will try it with black donkey hooves later. If it doesn't work, use cinnabar."
, Nuomi comes to say hello."
No one had any objections to the battle plan proposed by Hu Bayi.
Nowadays, their most popular methods are black donkey hooves, cinnabar, and glutinous rice.
Even Chen Ziyan, who didn't want to provoke these idiots now, didn't say much.
There is a premise in Hu Bayi's words, that is, wait until these female corpses are close before taking action. At that time, he will have to take action even if he doesn't want to, because it would be too bad to be completely surrounded by female corpses.
What's more, he also wanted to try to see if the things he had on hand could have any effect on him.
If it really works, that would be a great thing for them.
But what everyone didn't expect was that just as they were ready to take action at any time, the body closest to them turned over and disappeared into the water.
And this was like some kind of signal, and so were the other corpses around. In the blink of an eye, all the corpses disappeared from sight, as if these female corpses had never appeared.
Regarding this sudden change, several people looked at each other and were a little confused.
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but look at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Mr. Chen, what's going on?"
He would rather the two sides engage in a life-and-death battle than for the enemy to hide quietly.
This brings too much pressure!
Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly and did not respond. He didn't know what was going on.
Hu Bayi stared at the deep water for a while, then turned around and said, "It looks like he really disappeared. Even if he didn't disappear, he still returned to the bottom of the water."
There is a strange blue light on those female corpses, so it is obvious that they are in the shallow water layer. Now even the shadows cannot be seen, which means that these corpses are at least not in the shallow water layer.
Thinking of that layer of faint blue fluorescence, Hu Bayi said doubtfully: "The faint blue light on those corpses just now looks like phosphorescent will-o'-the-wisps."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But what he didn't understand was how come the will-o'-wisps appeared in the water, or how they appeared attached to the corpse.
"I don't know." Wang Kaixuan shook his head subconsciously, and then he seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Old Hu, do you think those just now were water ghosts, just like the one we met back then?"
When he said this, even Wang Kaixuan, who had always been bold and bold, subconsciously flashed a hint of fear.
I guess I thought of something terrible.
When Hu Bayi was reminded like this, he also showed the same expression.
There was no way, the impression that that incident left on them was too profound.
After Hu Bayi got out of his memories, he met several pairs of curious eyes, and he simply recounted the old incident.
It all started when they were young, one summer...
After finishing the story, Hu Bayi said with emotion: "At that time, no one dared to believe that there were ghosts in the world. Even if some people believed it, no one dared to say it. In the end, we could only attribute the matter to chance and coincidence."
After he finished speaking, Chen Ziyan put forward a different view: "According to your description, this is not just a matter of being entangled in water plants, but just like what you said, there were some things that couldn't be said at the time.
There is nothing you can do, but in the future it is better to believe that something like this is possible, and never be careless."
He naturally knows that those just now are not water ghosts, but he dare not say that there are no water ghosts in this world, and those female corpses are not much less dangerous than water ghosts, so he should be careful when encountering them again.
Hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Hu Bayi also nodded solemnly: "Yes, some things really need to be investigated carefully. No one can explain the reasons, so you must be more careful when encountering problems."
In fact, there is one thing he didn't say, that is, he went to see the corpse that fell into the water, but there was a clear fingerprint on the ankle, so he had his own opinion on the truth of the matter.
How could there be such a coincidence in the world, how could water plants wrap around the mark of a finger?
In fact, there is no need to be reminded like this. After experiencing this incident, although everyone seems to be the same as before, in fact, they have already secretly raised their vigilance to the highest level.
After all, those corpses just disappeared and were probably hidden under the deep water, so it was too early to relax now.
This can be seen from the looks in several people's eyes now.
The hovercraft traveled quickly along the stream, and they soon passed through this section of the fossil forest and came to a semicircular cave entrance.
The diameter of this hole is limited and can only accommodate one person at most.
Through the light, you can see that the other side is also a cave, not a deep tunnel.
Wang Kaixuan looked over and complained, "Why are there still holes here? It's really endless."
Shirley Yang thought he thought this section of the road was too long, so she said: "Judging from the trend of the mountains from the Canglan River to the Nu River, the actual depth of the entire Worm Valley should not exceed forty miles. We have now walked three miles.
About half way, the rest of the way shouldn't be too far."
The meaning is obvious, just to tell Wang Kaixuan that he will be able to get out of this stream soon.
Wang Kaixuan muttered and wanted to say something, but in the end he did not say anything. He just nodded to Shirley Yang and expressed his goodwill.
Chen Ziyan ignored the conversation next to him and focused all his attention on observing the situation.
It can be clearly seen through the light that the mountain wall on the opposite side is also very smooth, and the refracted red light is deeper. The overall shape is in the shape of a trumpet that is tight in front and loose in the back. Unsurprisingly, the space will become larger as you go inward.
But one thing cannot be ignored, that is, the environment behind the cave entrance is no longer suitable for riding a hovercraft, at least the one that appeared in front of him is not suitable. It would be more suitable for them to move forward on foot.
Because the plant roots hanging upside down inside are denser, coupled with the scattered plant fossils, the space is almost compressed to the extreme.
"Put the boat away for now." Seeing this, Chen Ziyan said.
Others have also seen some of the situation on the other side and know that Chen Ziyan's handling method is the most appropriate at the moment.
Putting aside everything else for now, their hovercraft cannot pass through the narrow hole in front of them.
This means that their hovercraft can be deflated and folded. If it were replaced with a bamboo raft or the like, it would probably have to be abandoned here.
After taking care of the hovercraft, Chen Ziyan and the others passed through the cave entrance one by one and arrived at the cave on the other side.
Not long after leaving, they clearly felt the gap between the two sides.
Compared with the cave they were in just now, the air here is far less fluid, more humid and hotter, and there is a strong smell that makes people feel like their breathing is hindered.
After Chen Ziyan noticed this, he immediately asked everyone to put on the masks of the protective suits again.
Although there won't be anything like poisonous miasma here that can easily kill people, they don't know how long they will stay there, and breathing in such air for a long time may cause problems, so it's better to be careful.
After continuing to advance for hundreds of meters, the team had to slow down because the terrain in front changed again. The land area was extremely compressed. Except for some fossil trees exposed above the water, everything in sight was whirlpools.
and turbulence.
Moreover, with the gradual expansion of the space, it is no longer possible to easily see the boundaries on both sides, so they can no longer just take the next step, but need to make certain judgment and analysis.
"This... let's take a boat next." Wang Kaixuan looked at the water in front of him and felt that re-inflating might be a good choice.
There were only two choices before them, one was to swim directly with arms, the other was to take out the hovercraft and move forward by boat again.
"Inflate it." Chen Ziyan agreed without hesitation.
Although the previous section of the journey may not be easy on a hovercraft, it is still easier than an armed swim.
Now that they haven't even seen the real owner of the Calabash Cave, they can still save some energy if they can.
With the help of a hand-operated air pump, the hovercraft soon appeared on the water again.
Several people boarded the boat with ease and drove the boat forward.
However, their speed this time was very slow, not much faster than walking, and maybe even slower.
The reason for this result is the vortices and turbulence densely distributed on the water surface.
It was only when they faced it in person that they realized how troublesome these things were. It was very likely that if they were not careful, they would be led astray.
Just when everyone was getting a little annoyed, a buzzing sound of the flapping wings of insects came from the depths of the cave, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Almost as soon as they heard the buzzing sound, Chen Ziyan and others squatted down, grabbing the weapons in their hands and making a defensive posture.
You can tell from the scale of the buzzing that this must be a large insect swarm, and this also represents danger.
Although insects are not scary if they are not poisonous, this refers to the situation when the number of insects is small. Once the number of insects is large enough, it will be extremely scary no matter what.
