Hearing this, Xuanwu hesitated for a moment, but still moved his lips slightly. Then the besieged longhorned insects began to retreat back, and Xiao Yu also took the opportunity to let the flames crack a hole and let the insects retreat to the middle of their range.
.
It's going to be dark soon. If we don't get rid of these bugs, I'm afraid there will be no peace tonight.
As soon as the corpse turtles came out, they covered the entire ground. Even the surrounding walls were crawling everywhere, and some even rushed toward the flames in front of Xiao Yu.
But as soon as it touched the flame, it burned with a roar, as if there was gasoline on it.
Seeing that the flames were useful to those Dingxi, several people took out their talismans and threw them into the insect tide. For a moment, there was a crackling sound in the distance, like the explosion of fireworks.
But the Corpse Turtle did not flinch, and instead continued to rush towards Xiao Yu and others, as if it was desperate to die.
However, these are ordinary corpse turtles. To Xiao Yu and others, they are just bugs blocking the road. They are not a threat at all. The bodies of several people are shrouded in white light. When those bugs approach, they seem to be scared of seeing something.
Things are separated in several directions.
Corpse turtles can only live in dark places. Even if they run out, they will die in half an hour if they are exposed to the sun after dawn.
Besides, there aren't many plants around here and there's no way to hide, so there's no need to be afraid of going out and endangering people.
Corpse turtles surged out from under the stone and hollowed out the surrounding area of the towering stone. Only a roar was heard and the stone collapsed.
"Brother Chen, there must be an underground palace under this stone. It's up to you."
Xiao Yu turned around and looked at the ghost corpse.
"Okay, you wait."
The ghost corpse stood next to Xiao Yu, with one hand stretched out flatly. The arm suddenly became longer. Then, the small hand quickly became more than two meters long and was covered with hair.
"Hiss...this ghost corpse is really real. I'm afraid even Xiao Yu doesn't know this magical power, right?"
Bai Hu was beside him and said with a surprised look on his face.
"Xiao Yu is a human being, not a true immortal. Of course he can't. The ghost corpse can become as big as a mountain. This little trick can't stop him."
Xuanwu is indeed the person who has lived the longest, and he directly told Baihu and others what they didn't know.
"rise.....".
The ghost corpse's big hand grabbed the fallen stone and pushed it upwards. The surrounding rocks collapsed again, and then only a roar was heard. The fallen stone was directly lifted up by the ghost corpse's enlarged hand.
stand up.
"Boom...".
The stone was thrown aside, and then everyone looked towards the black hole, only to see it was pitch black inside, with some stone steps extending downwards.
"Sure enough, there is something strange. It seems that this is the entrance to the underground palace!"
Seeing the cave, everyone immediately said happily.
"What should we do with these things? Let them escape?"
Qinglong looked at the corpses at his feet and said with disgust on his face.
Corpse turtles crawled out from among the dead, and their bodies were covered in corpse oil. There was indeed a stench that would make anyone smell it uncomfortable.
"It doesn't matter. I heard that wherever there are corpse turtles, there will be corpse turtle kings. If these bugs suddenly come out, they must be controlled by corpse turtles. If we catch the corpse turtle king, these things can be solved easily."
Xuanwu explained to everyone later.
"Master, do we want to go down now?"
Xuanwu's little apprentice pulled his clothes and asked with a pale face.
"Go in, of course we have to go in. This time with Xiao Yu and Qinglong following us, and Brother Chen, we can definitely come out alive."
Xuanwu was full of confidence, glanced at the female disciple next to him, and continued with a kind face, "Master brought you out this time to increase your knowledge. We are Gu masters, and we will encounter a lot of these things in the future.
You should study more and ask Xiao Yu and others for advice."
Xiao Yu has met Xuanwu's disciple, and this woman and Xiao Xue hit it off immediately and had a very good conversation. However, they haven't seen each other in the past few years. She has grown up and is no longer the teenage child she was.
There is no such intimate feeling as before.
"Yes, Master".
The woman smiled and stuck out her tongue to Xuanwu, glanced at Xiao Yu and Qinglong, and said nothing more, but took out a few light sticks in her hands.
Fluorescent sticks are small and convenient, disposable items that are not afraid of being extinguished due to lack of oxygen. They are a good choice in caves.
Girls are very attentive and can think of these things. If it were Xiao Yu and the others, they could only use torches or flashlights!
"Everyone, follow carefully. I will be the first, Brother Chen will be the last, and Qinglong will be in the middle."
Xiao Yu's cultivation is considered the strongest, and he also has many methods, so he is at the front.
As for the ghost corpse, he has a strong body, so he goes last. Even if he encounters a sneak attack, he will not be hurt.
But when we got to the cave, the situation was different. The Corpse Turtle, which had not been very aggressive above, actually started to attack everyone.
Although their attack power did not pose a threat to everyone, their endless attacks still made everyone panic, not to mention that they were still in such a dark place.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu took out five or six talismans and waved them gently. The talismans immediately burned and turned into five or six flames, floating in front of him.
"The talisman fire turns into a crane...go".
With a low shout, several flames began to condense quickly, turning into five or six fist-sized firebirds, and quickly flew forward.
With the lighting of the firebird, the cave instantly became brighter.
The moment those corpse turtles saw the flames, they seemed to be threatened by their lives and began to rush towards the talisman fire.
But to Fuhuo, the Corpse Turtle is undoubtedly like a moth to the flame. As soon as it gets close, it is instantly ignited, turns into a ball of flame, and falls into the cave.
Looking around, you can see the densely packed corpse turtles, like fleas, constantly jumping up and then falling down, the scene of desperate efforts is indeed shocking enough.
Only now did Xiao Yu and the others look at the cave. Because the cave was built in stone, it was very dry. There were many traces of digging on the surrounding stones.
The steps of the underground cave extend downward with no end in sight, and a dozen meters away in front, like a swarm of insect corpses, all look at Xiao Yu and his party with eager eyes.
The corpse turtle at the front was the size of a fist, covered in pitch black, as if it were made of rock, and was extremely tough.
"Huh, you are stubborn and stubborn. Since you don't know how to give in, I will help you."
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, quickly took out an intermediate talisman and threw it towards the insect wave ahead.
The talisman flew out and turned into a sea of fire, rushing downwards. The corpse turtles made a snapping sound when they touched the flames, and were instantly burned to ashes by the flames.
Driven by Xiao Yu, the sea of fire kept pouring forward, driving the corpse turtle dozens of meters away in no time.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Deep in the cave, there were bursts of rapid whining sounds. The moment the sounds came, the corpse turtles seemed to have heard the call and retreated downwards like a tide.
