Chapter 524: Bugs all over the ground!
"Brother Chen, what have they encountered again? It feels so dangerous. I really hope they are safe."
"Why are there so many weird things in this tomb? It's too exciting and too scary. Brother Chen has to be careful."
Chen Yile squatted down and carefully observed the footprints, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Just then, he felt a chill on his back, as if something was staring at him.
He turned around suddenly, but only saw a black shadow flash by at an extremely fast speed. By the time he reacted, the black shadow had disappeared around the corner of the passage.
"Who!" Chen Yile shouted, stood up, raised the Tianshi Sword, and chased in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
Qingting and A Xiang also hurried to catch up, their faces full of fear, but they did not dare to fall behind and followed Chen Yile closely.
As they were chasing, the black shadow suddenly disappeared. Chen Yile stopped and looked around, only to find that they had come to a fork in the road. There were two passages in front of them, one to the left and one to the right. The passages were pitch black and he could not see what was inside.
"Which way should we go?" Dragonfly asked anxiously. Her eyes were full of confusion and fear. Her body was trembling slightly, and she didn't know what to do.
Chen Yile hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure either. How about this? Let's split up. I'll go on the left, and you go on the right. If you encounter danger, shout loudly. When you hear the shout, run back quickly and then meet up here."
After hearing this, Qingting and Ah Xiang showed a hint of hesitation on their faces. Ah Xiang said, "Isn't this too dangerous? Why don't we go to the left together?"
Chen Yile shook his head and said, "No, we have to look at both roads. Maybe the exit is on one of them. There is no time to hesitate. It's decided."
As he spoke, he walked towards the left passage. Qingting and A Xiang had no choice but to walk towards the right passage. They held hands and looked back every few steps at the direction Chen Yile left, feeling uneasy.
Chen Yile walked carefully along the passage on the left. The passage was very quiet, with only his own footsteps echoing. The silence made his heart beat faster involuntarily. He always felt that something was spying on him in the dark.
Suddenly, some strange runes appeared on the wall in front. Those runes flashed with dark red light, as if they had life, and emitted a faint evil aura.
Chen Yile stopped and looked at the runes warily, secretly wondering about their purpose.
Just as he was about to get closer to take a look, the runes suddenly shot out dark red rays of light, shooting towards him.
Chen Yile was shocked and quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the light. However, wherever the light reached, black marks were burned on the stone wall, which showed how powerful it was.
"What the hell is this thing!" Chen Yile couldn't help cursing. He raised the Heavenly Master Sword and chanted, "The Heavenly Master's sword is mighty, all evils will retreat and be destroyed!"
As he spoke, he swung several sword energies towards the runes. The sword energy collided with the light emitted by the runes, making a crackling sound. For a moment, the passage was full of flashes of light and sparks flew everywhere.
On the other side, Dragonfly and Ah Xiang were walking along the aisle on the right. As they walked, Ah Xiang felt something soft under her feet. She looked down and screamed in fright.
There were some wriggling insects on the ground. They were pitch black and had densely packed little legs. They were crawling towards their legs.
The dragonfly was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly took out a bottle of insect repellent spray from his bag and sprayed it at the insects, muttering: "Insect repellent spray, all insects retreat, go away!"
But the insects were not affected at all and continued to swarm towards them.
"What should I do, Sister Dragonfly!" Ah Xiang cried. She stomped her feet constantly, trying to shake off the insects, but there were more and more insects, and they were about to crawl onto them.
The dragonfly looked around anxiously and saw a protruding stone next to her. She hurriedly pulled Ah Xiang to stand on it, temporarily avoiding the encirclement of insects.
But the insects surrounded the stone and kept climbing up. The situation was very critical.
"Brother Chen, help!" Dragonfly shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the passage with a hint of despair and fear.
Chen Yile was struggling hard against the rune light. When he heard Dragonfly's cries, his heart tightened, knowing that they must be in danger.
He ignored the runes he hadn't solved yet and turned to run towards the passage on the right, shouting as he ran: "Hold on, I'm coming!"
When he arrived, he saw Dragonfly and Ah Xiang standing on a rock, surrounded by a group of insects. The situation was very critical.
He quickly swung the Heavenly Master Sword and chopped down at the insect swarm, shouting, "Cut with the Heavenly Master Sword, exterminate the insects and eliminate the pests, kill!"
This time, the Tianshi Sword showed its power, cutting the insects into two pieces and splashing black juice all over the ground.
Chen Yile kept waving his sword, and gradually, the number of insects began to decrease. They seemed to have sensed the danger and began to crawl back. After a while, they all disappeared in the passage.
"Are you okay?" Chen Yile asked, panting. His face was covered in sweat and his clothes were stained with insect juice. He looked in a mess.
Qingting and Ah Xiang came down from the rock and shook their heads in fear. Qingting said, "Thank goodness you came, Brother Chen, otherwise we would be finished."
Ah Xiang nodded repeatedly, with a hint of fear in her eyes, and said, "Yes, those insects are too scary. No matter how hard we try, they won't go away."
Chen Yile comforted him, "It's okay, let's keep going. We have to find the exit quickly."
As they spoke, the three of them continued walking along the passage on the right. Their expressions became more solemn, knowing that dangers were everywhere in the tomb and they had to remain vigilant at all times.
As they walked, they found that the passage ahead became narrower and narrower. In the end, it was only wide enough for one person to pass through sideways.
The walls of the passage are covered with sharp stones and you may get scratched if you are not careful.
"This...how can we get through this?" Ah Xiang said with a frown as she looked at the narrow passage. Her eyes were full of worry and she shrank back, seeming a little scared.
Chen Yile stepped forward to check and said, "There's nothing we can do. We can only go slowly. Everyone, be careful and don't get scratched."
As he spoke, he leaned sideways and walked cautiously into the passage. He would test the surrounding stones with every step, and only dared to move after making sure it was safe.
Qingting and A Xiang followed behind him, and they also imitated Chen Yile and slowly squeezed into the passage.
But Ah Xiang was rather timid after all, and her movements were a little flustered. She accidentally scratched her arm with a sharp stone, and she cried out "Ouch" in pain.
"A Xiang, are you okay?" Qingting asked hurriedly. She stopped and wanted to check A Xiang's injuries.
Ah Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "I...I'm fine, I just scratched once. Let's keep going."
The three of them continued to move slowly into the passage, and each step was very difficult.
