After getting rid of the control of Nie Wei and other gangsters, Zhan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but then the question came again, how should they get out?
After walking along the dark tunnel for several miles, they encountered more than a dozen forks along the way. Every time they stopped, they had to try to explore. It turned out that there was another fork after the fork, and it seemed that they would never be able to find it.
Finished exploring.
In the end, Zhan Chen simply gave up exploring these forks, and instead chose one of the avenues to go straight. After walking another thousand meters, he finally came to the end of the road, but the result was disappointing. There was nothing there except thick rocks.
Zhan Chen, I don’t think there’s any way for us to wander around here. We have to find a way, otherwise we’ll never want to go. At this time, a person behind him said.
Zhan Chen turned around and looked at him silently. The speaker was Qin Guang. Liu Yi, Qin Guang and Xia Ying, the other three in their team, said to him: Okay, let's find a solution together.
.
So the four of them began to meditate. However, after thinking hard for a while, Zhan Chen felt that his thoughts were getting more and more confusing, and there was no result. When he was bored, he couldn't help but raise his head and began to observe the situation in the tunnel aimlessly.
Although this tunnel is humid, it is much drier than the places they have just been to. There are a few poisonous insects infested, but they are all fifth- and sixth-level shrimp soldiers and crab generals, which are different from the eight they encountered in the big cave just now.
Comparing the level monsters, there is a real difference between clouds and mud.
There seemed to be some pattern in this. Suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he finally thought: Yes, the key factor is water. The water here contains many toxic substances, which are the food that poisonous people like. It can be seen that places with a lot of water are
There is also more food, and with more food, there are more poisons, so the tunnels in those places are dug more and wider by these poisonous creatures, and the more likely they are to find a way out there.
However, there is also a very embarrassing point in this. According to this analysis, where there is a way out, there must be a lot of poisons, there will be many dangers, and it is likely to be accompanied by encounters with high-level monsters.
At present, there are only four people in their team, and they happen to be only at the intermediate level of the Martial Emperor. If they encounter a slightly more powerful monster, not to mention defeating it, and whether they can escape smoothly is a big problem.
question.
Zhan Chen hesitated for a long time before telling his companions his guess. After hearing his analysis, everyone frowned. It was Xia Ying, the only woman in the team, who reacted first and said to everyone: "We will stay here."
It's not a solution, you have to try to find a way out. You can't stop eating because of choking, or hold back because of fear of monsters.
The other three people felt ashamed after hearing this, but none of them had the decision-making ability of a woman. So they left the tunnel and continued exploring.
This time, Zhan Chen had a goal, which was to search for wet places. Under his leadership, the road under his feet became wider and smoother; but correspondingly, he encountered more and more monsters.
The stronger they become, they are so powerful that several people have to work together to defeat them. Fortunately, they have not encountered any enemies that are difficult to defeat along the way.
However, in this crisis-ridden Ten Thousand Poison Cave, will good luck always accompany you?
Nearly a week passed in the blink of an eye. Deep in the Wandu Cave, Zhan Chen stopped for a long time by a stone wall, his eyebrows furrowed. His companions were puzzled by this and asked: Zhan Chen, why don't you leave?
Zhan Chen said seriously: Everyone found that the walls here had an unnatural reddish-purple color, and there were a lot of water droplets on the surface, and they all flowed down.
The other three took a closer look and found that, as Zhan Chen said, the walls here were wet, and water droplets appeared from time to time, forming thin trickles and rolling down the stone wall to the ground.
.
What does this mean? Liu Yi couldn't help but ask.
I think, Zhan Chen, you want to say that we are close to the core area of Ten Thousand Poison Cave. Xia Ying guessed.
Zhan Chen did not answer her question, but said again: "Don't talk for now, and then listen carefully."
Xia Ying and others were curious, so they calmed down and listened. In addition to the sound of water drops falling from the top of their heads, there seemed to be a subtle rushing sound in the cave. It was vague and could not be heard clearly, but it was definitely there.
Qin Guang was the first to react and shouted: I understand, there is an underground river nearby
Zhan Chen nodded and said: Yes, and I suspect that this underground river is not an ordinary river, but a tributary of the Yuan River.
Yes, the Yuan River forms a huge river network, covering the entire Yuanchi area. It is very possible that
Yes, since the Yuan River passes through here, as long as we find it, we may be able to find a way out.
Zhan Chen, you are awesome. The underground river of Yuanhe must be connected to the outside world. The exciting news that we can go out made several people excited.
At this time, Zhan Chen seemed particularly calm and continued his analysis: However, I estimate that the road ahead will not be easy. The toxin content in the rock formations here is very high and it is close to the water source. I am afraid that powerful monsters may inhabit it.
Don't worry, Zhan Chen, we came all the way just now, didn't we join forces to kill all those poisonous things? Qin Guang said nonchalantly, probably thinking that Zhan Chen was a bit unfounded.
Although Liu Yi and Xia Ying didn't say anything, they obviously didn't take Zhan Chen's warning to heart.
No, I have to be more careful. Zhan Chen thought silently that seeing the attitude of his companions only aroused his vigilance. The scene of karst beasts wreaking havoc in the cave is still vivid in his mind. Now they are deeper into the cave.
Dangerous place, any negligence will lead to disaster.
The four of them started to march again. Unlike before, Liu Yi and the other three all sped up their pace, obviously because they had learned that the clues to get out were right in front of them, but Zhan Chen followed behind them, looking left and right from time to time, observing up and down.
surrounding situation.
Continuing deeper, they came to a huge cave again, and this place was similar to the cave where they were in trouble before. It was more than a hundred feet in diameter, and the head was covered with long stalagmites. The only difference was from the previous cave.
What's more, the ground is not very smooth and is covered with large and small rocks, making it look uneven and uneven.
The loud and turbulent singing of the underground river rolled in from the deep cave entrance on the opposite side and continued to reach everyone's ears.
Liu Yi shouted excitedly when we arrived, and hurriedly stepped on the rocks and rushed to the opposite cave entrance. Xia Ying and Qin Guang looked at each other and followed happily.
Everyone was careful with their heads, but at this moment, Zhan Chen from behind yelled.
Liu Yi, who was rushing at the front, subconsciously raised his head and saw a huge transparent mesh above his head. He pulled a hood over him. His pupils shrank suddenly and he ran away to avoid it. Unfortunately, it was already there.
Too late
The silk net was almost transparent floating in the air, and the falling process was silent, making it difficult to detect. By the time Liu Yi discovered it, the giant net had already fallen above his head, or rather, if it hadn't been
Zhan Chen reminded him that Liu Yi, who was focused on finding a way out, might not realize that he had become the target of a monster until now.
The silk net covered Liu Yi's body and immediately entangled his entire body and wrapped it tightly. Liu Yi struggled desperately, but with the great strength of Emperor Wu, he was unable to break the silk threads. Instead, he was
The wrapping became tighter and tighter, and finally he was wrapped into a rice dumpling, unable to move at all.
Liu Yi, let me help you. Qin Guang, who was following him, saw that Liu Yi had fallen into the trap of the monster. He immediately pulled out his sword and was about to rush forward to help him cut off those hateful threads.
At this moment, a giant spider-like monster descended from the stalagmites on the top of the cave. It was two meters high, four meters long, and had four pairs of terrifying and ferocious long legs. When stretched out, it could reach eight meters in diameter.
rice; the whole body is pitch black, like ink, covered with hair; there are four pairs of black eyes on the top of the head, each one is as big as a volleyball, emitting a frightening light
What is particularly eye-catching is that there are many dark yellow stripes on its back, which form a pattern, like a distorted and ugly human face; at its tail, there is also a thin and transparent stripe.
An almost invisible thread. However, it is this inconspicuous thread that can support its entire huge body.
The big monster fell in front of Liu Yi, its big black eyes flashed with a hint of ecstasy, and it immediately raised its poisonous pincers and plunged into Liu Yi's body like lightning, injecting digestive juices.
Ah, Liu Yi couldn't help but roared and roared in pain for a long time, but his voice quickly disappeared.
Then, a terrifying scene happened. Liu Yi's originally fit body began to swell and become bloated, like a rich man who had gained weight.
Next, the big spider happily began to suck the juice from Liu Yi's body. Seeing that his body shriveled up again, only a human skin was left, as thin as a blanket.
Seeing this, Qin Guang stood there blankly with the sword in his hand, at a loss. Xia Ying, on the other hand, felt a commotion in her stomach, so she bent down, covered her stomach, and began to retching.
Why are you still standing there, run away, it's a human-faced spider. Then Zhan Chen shouted loudly, waking the two of them up, and finally thought of running away.
After the human-faced spider finished eating, it still felt that it was still unfinished. In the blink of an eye, it saw the delicacies that had finally been delivered to the door and wanted to run away. It was unwilling to give up. It stretched out its eight long legs, jumped lightly, and was a hundred meters away.
, unexpectedly blocked the return exit before Zhan Chen and others.
Zhan Chen, we can't run away, the human-faced spider is a top-level seventh-level monster, we are dead. Seeing this, Qin Guang couldn't help but cry out in despair.
Zhan Chen stared at the human-faced spider that was staring at them so close, with a flash of perseverance in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: Since you can't escape, then fight it.
