Chapter 406: Big Bugs
"What kind of bugs are these? Why is it so big like a dragonfly? It's not poisonous, right?" Hu Bayi asked.
Xueli frowned and said, "I seem to have seen it somewhere before. It seems to be a mosquito insect. It grows in humid and stuffy places. Generally, it is only the size of a fingernail. The size here is amazing..."
Everyone continued to move deep into the cave, and a large number of insects and water spiders were disturbed along the way. Everyone looked at the densely packed insects that were scattered, and their scalp was numb.
Chen Hao said to everyone: "The situation in the water is too complicated, so we should go to the rocky beach next to us."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The water here is very deep and the environment is complicated. I don’t know what dangers are hidden in the water. Walking down-to-earth on the shore will make people feel more at ease.
Everyone walked forward along the rocky beach next to it, and there were many insects on the shore. They were frightened by everyone and fled everywhere. Among them, there were some big red-mouthed toads hiding in the pile of rocks, which were larger than those seen outside.
What’s strange is that these big red-mouthed toads are not afraid of people at all. The bumps on their bodies look like longans, which makes people feel heart-wrenching.
Fortunately, these toads will not attack people on their own initiative. Unless they step on it, they will jump to the side automatically, hiding in the dark and spitting out their big tongues, constantly catching the flying insects.
When I arrived at the depths of the cave, a dry flat ground appeared in front of me, with an altar on it, and there were some traces of sacrifices around me.
The altar is made of black stones, with many strange patterns carved on it. However, due to the erosion of the environment, the patterns on it can no longer be distinguished. It is probably a sacrifice activity such as worshiping mountain gods.
In the middle of the sacrificial hall, there is a statue of a god carved from black stone, with big ears and a high nose, thick hair on his face, and a skull hanging in his mouth. It looks fierce and evil, very similar to the statue of a mountain god they saw outside.
The fat man said, "Isn't this the mountain god at the entrance? It turns out that this is his territory, but this mountain god looks so weird. I have never seen such an ugly mountain god."
Sydney said: "It is slightly different from the statue of the mountain god outside, but the expression and shape are mostly the same person, but the carving technique or the age is not the same era. The mountain god outside has more characteristics of the Central Plains, and this mountain god is more in line with the cultural style of the ancient Dian Kingdom."
Everyone stayed in the altar for a while, but did not find anything valuable. They immediately packed up their equipment and continued to look for the entrance to the tomb of the king.
"Ding! Detected an epic creature, Huo's immortal insect, with a strength value of 6, and you can get an achievement point when you kill it!"
The system prompt sound suddenly came, and Chen Hao was stunned for a moment. He knew that the system was detecting the big bug, but the strength of the bug was too low. After all, it was an epic creature, just that little strength?
After reaching the deepest part of the gourd cave, a dark hole suddenly appeared on the wall on the left, just on the bank of the underground river, which looked very strange.
Everyone stood outside the cave entrance and looked at each other, hesitating whether to go in and take a look.
Chen Hao wanted to get the big bug in and immediately said to everyone: "Go in and take a look, maybe you can find some useful clues."
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and finally nodded in agreement.
Chen Hao walked into the dark cave first, and the rest followed closely.
The cave is very spacious inside, emitting a fishy smell. The ground is full of corpses, some people and animals, without any flesh and blood, only a skeleton, as if it had been gnawed by something.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel that there was something terrible monster hidden in the cave.
After walking a distance, a huge strange face suddenly appeared from the darkness!
Everyone was startled by the sudden scene and their bodies retreated repeatedly. The fat man and Hu Bayi picked up submachine guns and shot directly at the thing.
"Da da da da da..."
Countless bullets flew out and hit the monster's face, bursting out a series of sparks, and all the bullets were bounced away.
Everyone was shocked. The two of them quickly stopped shooting and carefully illuminated the strange face with the flashlight. Only then did they realize that the other party was wearing a huge metal mask.
It was a golden mask as big as a millstone, with a mouth that was large enough to fit into a person. Two black eyes in the eye sockets looked a little similar to those of an insect, staring at everyone.
"My God, what is this?" the fat man exclaimed.
Chen Hao quickly shone the back of the big bug with a flashlight, and found that behind the mask was a large piece of insect soft body, which was as thick as a millstone and more than ten meters long.
Before he could see clearly, he saw a large ball of red smoke suddenly spit out from the mask's mouth, which covered everyone at a slow speed.
"Go away quickly, the smoke is poisonous!" Chen Hao hurriedly reminded.
Everyone did not dare to neglect. While retreating, they asked Chen Hao what he was.
"I just took a look and it seemed like a big bug?" Chen Hao said uncertainly.
The fat man said, "No, are there such a big bug in the world? This is even bigger than a python."
Hu Bayi quickly reminded: "Don't worry about so many things first, hurry up and shoot him and let it taste the power of bullets!"
While speaking, he pulled the trigger again, the submachine gun spit out flames, and countless bullets shot towards the golden mask again. The fat man also changed into a magazine, and the two shot together.
Although the metal mask was thick, it had already rotted after thousands of years of corrosion in this humid environment. Under the strafing of two submachine guns, countless cracks began to crack, and then it broke into countless pieces with a crack and fell to the ground.
After the mask was broken, an extremely large insect head was exposed. It looked a bit similar to a silkworm, but it had a red carapace on it. All the bullets hit it and all rebounded, as thick as steel plates.
The insect's abdomen has countless legs, one row facing one row, with hundreds of them, which are somewhat similar to a large centipede, but the insect's legs are even shorter.
"It's indeed a big bug. What kind of damn bug is this?" Hu Bayi shouted at everyone while shooting.
"Who knows what kind of monster this is? Lao Hu, our bullets are almost exhausted, let's retreat!" said the fat man.
Seeing that the submachine gun could not break the insect's shell, Chen Hao had to do it himself, pull out the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword, fly forward, and slash hard at the insect's head with a knife.
"Click!"
