Chapter 297 Huo’s Immortal Insect

 But before others could react, Chen Ziyan had already stopped him: "Don't worry, have you forgotten what's on the altar?"

"Altar..." Hu immediately reacted: "Master Chen, do you mean to wait until the poisonous mist is exhausted?"

According to the records on the reliefs on the altar, as the mountain god eats, the poisonous mist will also be exhausted by this process.

"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded and said, "We have plenty of time now. There is no need to rush. Compared to the threat posed by the mountain god itself, I think the red poisonous mist is the most dangerous.

Now that we have the help of these floating corpses, we might as well wait and see."

The reason why Chen Ziyan said this was not just for his own mission.

Knowing the plot, he knew very well that even if Huo's undead bugs were not eliminated now, they would still be dead when they came back.

Or to be more precise, he wants to completely eliminate the Huo's Undead Worm, so waiting for the next opportunity is the best choice.

All in all, his reward cannot be lost, it is just the difference between sooner or later.

He is stopping everyone now because this red mist is indeed dangerous. If it has some corrosive properties, it will really threaten them, so it is better to wait a little longer.

"I also think we should wait a little longer. Maybe after eating, the mountain god will go into hibernation. That way we will be safer," Shirley Yang agreed.

She feels that Chen Ziyan's suggestion is very constructive. If it is exposed now, it will not only be the red mist and its contents, but also the countless floating corpses in the water.

So you can wait for a while, maybe everything will change by then.

After hearing the analysis of several people, even Ding Sitian, who suggested fishing in troubled waters, felt that this might be better.

After all, who would be willing to take risks when there is a safer way?

Immediately, several people stopped talking and stared in the direction of the red mist, hoping that things would change in the desired direction.

And while they were talking in low voices, the red mist over there swallowed up many floating corpses.

But even though the red mist has been swallowing the floating corpses, the number of floating corpses in the water has not decreased at all. This shows how terrifying the number of floating corpses here is.

Suddenly, Chen Ziyan keenly discovered that the red mist that had been lingering was showing signs of dispersing at the edge.

He knew that this might be a sign that the red mist had reached a critical point, which meant that the red mist might be about to dissipate.

But at this moment, there was a sudden "crash" sound in the red mist, as if there were many people walking in place.

Not only Chen Ziyan heard the sound, but everyone else also heard it. At this moment, everyone held their breath and stared at the direction where the sound came from.

Under their gaze, the red mist slowly began to thin and dissipate as the sound sounded.

And those floating corpses that were constantly entering it stopped moving forward at the same time, and seemed to be about to dive back to the bottom of the water.

While everyone was waiting anxiously and expectantly, a huge strange face wearing a golden mask suddenly emerged from the slowly fading red mist.

Although this gold mask has been tempered for thousands of years, it is still golden and its shape is almost exactly the same as the one in Chen Ziyan's hand.

Except for the obviously different eye shapes, they all have dragon horns, animal mouths and fish tail-shaped ears. However, they are much larger in size, about the size of an iron pot in the canteen.

With the help of the cold light of the remaining floating corpse, you can even see that the strange face is still breathing in some bright red mist from time to time.

But before anyone could see anything more, the strange face retracted into the mist again.

But they are not in a hurry. Anyway, the red mist is about to dissipate. By then, not only the mask, but also the owner of the mask will be exposed.

Seeing victory in sight at this time, even Wang Kaixuan, who is usually the most impatient, appears to be very patient.

In the notes of Chen Ziyan et al.

Looking closely, it didn't take long for the red mist to completely dissipate, truly revealing what was hidden inside.

When they truly saw the full picture of the creature in the mist, everyone except Chen Ziyan, who had expected it, took a deep breath.

I saw a ferocious giant insect entrenched where the red mist was.

At this moment, the giant insect was facing them, allowing them to see the specific appearance of this thing clearly.

There is nothing wrong with the golden mask, but there is only one single eye in the middle of the golden mask, and an eyeball-like thing inside is spinning around. The bloody mouth behind the beast's mouth is currently devouring a floating corpse.
The giant insect's breath does not open and close up and down, but spreads out in a square shape. There is a slightly smaller mouth inside, but even this slightly smaller mouth can easily kill a floating corpse.

Swallowed into the belly.

Chen Ziyan looked at the size of the mouthpart and knew that the Huo's Undead Insect had not opened it to the maximum. If this guy really let his full firepower go, he would not only swallow one floating corpse, but even two or three at the same time.

There will be no problem.

At the same time, Chen Ziyan also saw clearly that the reason why this guy swallowed it alive was because it did not have a regular row of teeth. It only had one hard flesh tooth on each of the four corners of its mouth. From the looks of it, it was obvious that it was not used for food.

chewable.

Looking back along the head wrapped behind the golden mask, you can see a huge and thick torso. Compared with the giant green-scaled python at the foot of Zhelong Mountain, it is definitely worse than the giant green-scaled python at the foot of Zhelong Mountain.

It is covered with a thick carapace and covered with a layer of scaly bronze heavy armor. You can imagine what kind of defensive power it has.

When he saw these, Chen Ziyan immediately understood that the firearms in their hands would definitely not pose any threat against such protection.

Moreover, this guy's exposed body alone is already more than twenty meters long. It is expected that the hidden body will not lose to this part. For such a huge monster, even if the bullet can cause damage to it, it can only have a certain effect.

The effect is estimated to be very small.

After seeing the complete picture of the creature in the red mist, Hu and others were a little scared.

Fortunately, I listened to Chen Ziyan's words. If they had accidentally disturbed each other just now, with the blessing of the poisonous mist, the consequences would definitely not be easy.

Wang Kaixuan, masked by the sound of giant insects treading on the ground, asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you know what this is?"

At first he thought it was a centipede, but then he realized something was wrong. Centipedes are all flat, but this guy in front of him was round, not to mention centipedes don't have an eye.

Chen Ziyan felt it was time and wanted to give a direct answer, but before he could speak, Shirley Yang said:

"This should be some kind of creature left over from ancient times. We still need to observe the details, but it is definitely not a product of our era."

And just when Chen Ziyan wanted to continue what Shirley Yang said and reveal the identity of Huo's undead insect, a new incident interrupted him again.

I saw that the Huo's undead insect had stopped eating, and its body had also stopped moving.

Without the cover of the footsteps, Chen Ziyan and the others did not dare to make any noise, so they had no choice but to silence their voices and look at Huo's undead insects.

Then they saw that this guy no longer breathed red mist, but instead turned into wisps of white mist.

Under their gaze, the white mist quickly changed from wisps to bunches, and finally large clumps poured out from the mouthparts.

However, the white mist did not linger around it like the red mist, but gathered together and surged towards the top of the cave above.

At the end, a column of smoke composed of white mist reached the cave wall above.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Ziyan immediately thought of the poisonous miasma in Worm Valley.

Although it is different from what they originally thought, it can still be explained.

Huo's undead insects use red mist to lure floating corpses in the water. After eating, they discharge the white mist. When the white mist reaches the insect valley on the ground, it forms a poisonous miasma there to protect the Tomb of King Xian within the miasma circle.<

/p>

The combination of these factors is like a transformation ritual, which successfully revitalizes everything.

What Chen Ziyan couldn't figure out was, with such consumption, how could there be so many floating corpses left today, thousands of years later?

You must know that in that burst of devouring just now, the Huo's undead insect swallowed at least dozens of floating corpses.

Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking about this problem, Huo's Undead Worm stopped breathing the mist, and then, in front of everyone's puzzled eyes, the upper half of its body was slightly raised, making a half-bowed posture.

After shaking its head a few times, its huge insect mouth opened, and the floating corpses were spit back into the water.

However, Chen Ziyan noticed that the spitted floating corpse was completely different from the previous ones. The blue luster that originally covered the surface was gone, and the fair corpse turned completely black, without any similarity at all.

"This is?"

After seeing this, Chen Ziyan suddenly felt something in his heart, and all the clues came to his mind in an instant, and they were all connected together at this moment.

Just like what he thought just now, Huo's undead insect uses red mist to attract the female corpse to devour, and after consuming the red mist, it will spit out the white mist just now.

Although it is unclear whether there are other processes in the white mist when it penetrates the ground, it is basically confirmed that the mist is an important part of the poisonous miasma, and even a basic component.

Chen Ziyan's doubt just now, that is, the female corpse in the water is not enough for Huo's undead worms to swallow it for thousands of years, can be regarded as having an answer at this moment.

It turns out that what the Huo's Undead Worm really needs is not the female corpse itself, but the layer of material wrapped around the female corpse, that is, the layer of stuff that emits this faint blue luster.

After absorbing this layer of material, it will revomit the female corpse carrier it swallowed into its belly, so that the cycle can repeat itself.

With a little thought, you can tell that King Xian must have made some kind of arrangement in the water. It doesn't take long for these dark female corpses to become what they were before.

Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, the Huo's Undead Worm not far away had already vomited out all the female corpses it had swallowed, then moved its densely packed giant feet, turned around and headed back.

At this moment, most of the floating corpses in the water have been submerged, and the fluorescence is much weaker than before. Chen Ziyan and the others can no longer see clearly from too far away with the help of this light, so they can only see the Huo's Undead Worm turning around, but they can't.

A way to see where it went.

"What should we do next? If there are no accidents, the exit from here should be in the direction of this monster." Chen Ziyan looked at the figure of Huo's Undead Worm with solemn eyes and said with a slight worry.
p>

He felt that there was no need to verify. Even if the exit was not where this guy was going, it must be not far away.

If he had been the one who originally arranged this place, he would definitely have made the same choice.

Wang Kaixuan thought for a while and said: "I guess a gun can't handle this thing. It's too big. If I really want to make the final decision, I'm afraid I'll have to use explosives."

This time the logistics were so strong that they would not let go of things like explosives, so he thought of this immediately.

Ding Sitian also nodded: "Yes, insects are tenacious, and explosives are indeed the best choice."

Although I want to take advantage of the opportunity, anyone with a clear eye can see the situation now. If I want to get out, I have to face this monster-like giant insect.

Fortunately, after listening to Chen Ziyan's words, they waited until the giant insect's poisonous gas was consumed, otherwise it would be difficult for them to get close to each other.

Hu said with some regret: "It's a pity that we didn't know in advance that this thing would feed on the substances on the surface of the female corpse. Otherwise, we could have taken advantage of this and put explosives directly into its belly."

Although he didn't explain the method clearly, everyone can guess that it was nothing more than putting the explosives into the female body in advance, thus sending the explosives into the body of Huo's undead bug.

Wang Kaixuan heard this and made an unreliable suggestion: "How about we wait here and wait until it has its next meal?"

Rao is, he has always been

I am a reckless person, and I don’t want to go head-to-head with such a creature at this time, so I came up with this method.

Shirley Yang shook her head and rejected it: "This method won't work. Even if the interval between this kind of creature's meals is not long, it will still be measured in days, and we can't waste so much time here."
Although they do have plenty of time now, it is only a day or two.

Who knows when this guy’s next meal will be, what if it’s a week or even a month?

This... how can they afford to wait!

At this time, Chen Ziyan broke away from his thoughts and said directly: "Let's just use explosives. It's unrealistic to wait until the next time we eat. Huahu and I will find a way to attract this guy's attention later. You should be prepared in advance.

Seize the opportunity and just throw the explosives in and that's it!"

They don’t want to directly kill Huo’s undead bugs, that’s not very realistic, as long as the other party can’t hinder their actions.

And Chen Ziyan feels that this can be regarded as the right medicine for the time being.
