People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 318 Huo's Immortal Worm

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

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

According to the records on the relief 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, so there's no need to be in a hurry. Compared to the threat posed by the mountain god itself, I think the red poisonous fog is the most dangerous. Now that we have these floating corpses to help, 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 Worm was not dealt with now, it would also die when he came back.

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

All in all, his reward can't run away, it's nothing more than the difference between sooner and later.

He stopped everyone now because the red mist was really dangerous. If it had the characteristic of spot corrosion, it would really threaten them, so it's better to wait a little longer.

"I also think we should wait a little longer. Maybe the mountain god will go to sleep after eating, so we will be safer." Shirley Yang echoed.

She felt that Chen Ziyan's suggestion was very constructive. If it was exposed now, it would not only have to face the red mist and the things inside, 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, if there is a safer way, who would be willing to take risks.

Immediately, several people stopped talking, and all stared at the direction of the red mist, expecting things to change in the expected direction.

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

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

Suddenly, Chen Ziyan keenly discovered that the red mist that had been lingering for a long time was faintly showing signs of collapsing at the edge.

He knew in his heart that this might be a sign that the red mist had reached a critical point, which meant that the red mist might soon dissipate.

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

Not only Chen Ziyan heard the voice, but everyone else heard it too. Everyone held their breath at this moment, staring at the direction where the voice came from.

Under their watchful eyes, the red mist slowly began to thin and dissipate with the sound of the sound.

And those floating corpses that kept entering it stopped at the same time, and it seemed that they were going 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 poked out from the slowly fading red mist.

Although this gold-cast 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 obvious difference in the shape of the eyes, they all have dragon horns, animal mouths, and fishtail-shaped ears, but their bodies are much larger, about the size of an iron pot in a cafeteria.

With the help of the cold light from the remaining floating corpses, one could even see that the strange face was still puffing out some bright red mist from time to time while breathing.

But before a few people saw more things, the strange face retracted into the mist again.

But they were not in a hurry, anyway, the red mist was about to dissipate, and not only the mask, but also the owner of the mask would be exposed.

Seeing the victory in sight at this time, even Wang Kaixuan, who is usually the most impatient, seemed to be full of patience.

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Ziyan and others, it didn't take long for the red mist to completely dissipate, revealing what was hidden inside.

When they really saw the whole picture of the creature in the fog, except for Chen Ziyan who had expected it, the rest of them took a breath.

I saw a ferocious and terrifying giant insect entrenched in the position where the red mist was.

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

There was nothing wrong with the golden mask, but there was only one eye in the middle of the golden mask, and an eyeball-like thing was turning around inside, and the bloody mouth behind the beast's mouth was devouring a floating corpse at the moment.

The tone of this giant insect is not the one that opens and closes up and down, but spreads out in a square shape around it, and there is a slightly smaller mouth inside, but even this slightly smaller mouth can easily give a floating corpse to it. Swallowed into the stomach.

Chen Ziyan looked at the size of this mouthpart, and knew that Huo's Undead Worm hadn't opened it to the maximum. If this guy was really fired at full power, let alone swallowing a floating corpse, even if he swallowed 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 raw was because it didn't have a regular row of teeth, but had a hard fleshy tooth at each corner of its mouth. It seemed that it was not for eating. Chewing.

Looking back along its head wrapped in a golden mask, one can see a huge and thick torso, which is definitely worse than the green-scaled python at the foot of Zhelong Mountain.

There is a thick layer of carapace on its body, and a layer of scaly bronze heavy armor on it. It is conceivable what kind of defense it has.

When Chen Ziyan saw these people, he immediately understood that the firearms in their hands would never pose any threat to such protection.

Moreover, the exposed body of this guy is more than [-] meters long. It is expected that the hidden body will not lose to this part. Even if bullets can cause damage to such a huge body, but it can only do damage to it. The effect is estimated to be very low.

After seeing the whole picture of the creatures in the red mist, Hu Bayi and the others were a little scared.

Fortunately, after listening to Chen Ziyan's words, if they accidentally disturbed each other just now, under the blessing of the poisonous mist, the consequences would definitely not be easy.

Wang Kaixuan asked in a low voice under the cover of the giant worm's trampling sound, "I'm talking about you guys, do you know what this is?"

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

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

"This should be some kind of creature left over from ancient times. The specifics need to be observed again, but it is definitely not a product of our era."

And just when Chen Ziyan wanted to follow Xue Liyang's words and reveal the identity of Huo's Undead Worm, a new incident interrupted him again.

I saw that Huo's Undead Worm had stopped eating, and even its body stopped moving.

Without the cover of the sound of footsteps, Chen Ziyan and the others did not dare to make any noise, so they could only silence and look at Huo's Undead Worm.

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

And under their watchful eyes, the white mist quickly changed from wisps to bunches, and finally, large groups gushed out from the mouthparts.

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

In the end, a column of smoke made of white mist reached the cave wall above.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Ziyan immediately thought of the poisonous miasma in the worm valley.

Although it is different from what they thought at the beginning, it can also be explained.

Huo's undead insects use red mist to lure the floating corpses in the water, and after eating, they emit 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.

The combination of these factors is like a conversion ceremony, successfully revitalizing everything.

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

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

Just as Chen Ziyan was thinking about this question, Huo's Undead Worm stopped breathing out the mist, and then under the puzzled eyes of everyone, the upper half of its body was raised slightly, making a half-bow posture.

After shaking his head a few times, he saw its huge worm mouth open, and the floating corpses were spit back into the water by it.

However, Chen Ziyan noticed that the spit out floating corpse was completely different from the previous one. The original blue luster covering the surface was gone, and the white corpse had become pitch black, with no similarity at all.

"This is?"

After seeing this scene, 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 Worm 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 not clear whether there are other procedures 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.

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

It turns out that what Huo's Undead Worm really needs is not the female corpse itself, but the layer of substance wrapped on the surface of the female corpse, that is, the layer that exudes this faint blue luster.

After absorbing this layer of substance, it will spit out the female corpse carrier swallowed into the abdomen again, so that the cycle can be repeated.

With a little thought, one can tell that King Xian must have made some kind of arrangement in the water, and it will not be long before these pitch-black female corpses will become what they saw before.

While Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, Huo's Undead Worm not far away had already spit out all the female corpses that had been swallowed, then moved its densely packed giant feet, turned around and walked towards the rear.

At this moment, most of the floating corpses in the water were submerged in the water, and the fluorescence was much weaker than before. Chen Ziyan and the others could no longer use this light to see clearly too far away, so they could only see Huo's undead turning around, but they couldn't see it. Way to see where it went.

"What shall we do next? If there are no accidents, the exit from here should be in the direction where this monster is going." Chen Ziyan looked at the figure of Huo's Undead Worm solemnly, and said with a little worry.

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 was the one who arranged this place in the first place, he would definitely make the same choice.

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

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

Ding Sitian also nodded: "That's right, insects have tenacious vitality, and explosives are indeed the best choice."

Although he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, anyone with a discerning eye could see the situation now. If he wanted to go out, he had to face this monster-like giant worm.

Fortunately, after listening to Chen Ziyan's words, it would not be easy for them to get close to each other until the poison gas of the giant insect was exhausted.

Hu Bayi said with some regret: "Unfortunately, we didn't know in advance that this thing would feed on the substances on the surface of the woman's corpse, otherwise we could take advantage of this and send the explosives directly into its stomach."

Although he didn't say what the method was, everyone could 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 Worm.

Wang Kaixuan heard the words, and put forward an unreliable suggestion: "Why don't we wait here and wait for it to eat like this?"

Rao has always been a reckless person, and he didn't want to confront such a creature head-on at this time, so he thought of such a method.

Shirley Yang shook her head and vetoed it: "This method won't work. Even if the interval between this kind of creature's eating is not long, it will still be measured in days, and it's impossible for us to waste so much time here."

Although they do have plenty of time now, it is only a day or two of being rich.

Who knows when the guy's next meal will be, in case it's a week or even a month?
This...how could they afford to wait!
At this time, Chen Ziyan broke away from his thoughts, and directly decided: "It's better to use explosives directly. It's unrealistic to wait for the next meal. Later, Huahu and I will find a way to attract this guy's attention. You should prepare in advance. Seize the moment and just throw the explosives in and you're done!"

It's not realistic to kill Huo's undead worms directly, as long as the other party can't hinder their actions.

And Chen Ziyan felt that this could be regarded as the right medicine for the time being.
