Chapter 24 The Night Walk
Although Xiang Qi's shooting was specially trained in his uncle's mercenary institution, his shooting skills, reaction speed and ability to respond were excellent, and he also achieved excellent results in simulated battles such as mountains and jungles. However, even if his simulated opponents were as fast as ghosts, their attack speed was still not as good as real ghosts. Moreover, the light in the cave was dim, and it was a bit difficult to capture with his sight alone, let alone flashlight beams and muzzles.
Xiang Qi once again regretted that he did not bring his night vision glasses when he came out of the warehouse below this time.
The ground floor of the huge cave, the ground and earth walls, are filled with white brown liquid.
Once those white maggots come into contact with the air, they can quickly transform into winged poisonous insects and fly freely in the cave.
The entire space was gradually filled with dense poisonous insects and poisonous gas sprayed from dog-headed canes. The eyes were filled with mist, and the ears were filled with the buzzing sound of poisonous insects flapping their wings. The visibility was getting lower and lower. Even the phosphorus fire that frequently hit was covered by the poisonous insects with a faint faint light, becoming unpredictable.
The air became more turbid, making it more difficult to breathe. Xiang Qi began to feel dizzy and chest tightness and nausea. Although he started to feel nauseous since he just smelled the smell, his reaction was even stronger now.
Intuition told him that this was a sign of poisoning, and even the function of the central nervous system began to be affected.
You must find a way to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise you will be torn to pieces and fumed to death and will be poisoned and killed.
"Humans, except for Gods and the undead, have no creatures of any race. They can survive after sucking my poisonous gas. Do you know what these poisonous gases and poisonous insects are?"
Xiang Qi didn't speak, and even had to breathe carefully. How could he dare to speak?
He tried to hold his breath and hid behind the dirt in the cave to wait for an opportunity to shoot. He only heard the hoarse voice of the mummy corpse saying not far from him: "Those evil things collected from disasters and diseases that flew out of Pandora's box, attached to the cane. From then on, the cane possesses the magic of all the evil things in Pandora's box. Hahaha."
Pandora's Box? Isn't that something from ancient Greek mythology?
Legend has it that Prometheus violated the will of Zeus, the king of the gods, and stole the sky fire to humans. Zeus was furious and decided to punish Prometheus and humans. He ordered the superb craftsman, Herjunstos, to create a woman according to the goddess's appearance, named Pandora. This name means a woman with all talents, and let every god give a gift in the box that Pandora carries. Afterwards, Zeus married Pandora to Prometheus' younger brother Epimetheus. However, Prometheus had the ability of a prophet and knew that Pandora was a tool used by Zeus to punish humans, so he repeatedly solemnly reminded and warned Epimetheus in advance-don't open Pandora's box, but Prometheus never expected that his earnest warning would arouse Epimetheus's strong curiosity.
Epimetheus secretly opened Pandora's box while the person was away. So countless oracles about war, diseases, plagues, disasters, pain, jealousy, etc. flew out from it. Epimetheus was so scared that he was speechless and panickedly covered the box.
I heard that the last thing left in the box is hope, so since then, human beings have to go through various wars, diseases, plagues, disasters, pain, jealousy... but there is no hope.
Kado's illusion is a closed space built with spiritual power. Even if the things in Pandora's box reappear again, it will have no effect on the world outside the illusion. However, if everything is true as the corpse king said, then Xiang Qi must face the invasion of diseases and plagues. To put it bluntly, brown liquid is a biological and chemical weapon that contains deadly bacteria!
Curious to kill the cat. Why do you want to come to such a place to stalk around!
Xiang Qi's breathing became more and more rapid, and his sense of smell gradually became dull. The stench that filled the entire cave seemed to be unable to smell. His consciousness gradually blurred, and his movements slowed down. Even the Corpse King came behind him without even realizing it.
Just as the Corpse King suddenly scratched his claws on his back, Xiang Qi instinctively threw himself forward, avoided the fatal blow just now with intuition, and suddenly turned over, kicked his heels on the ground, and then slid away from the back of the ground, and shot at the claw that was soaked in water.
The Beretta in his hand suddenly got stuck, and he realized that the bullet had been fired. However, luckily, the corpse king's claws were not very solid at all. After six or seven bullets, it also fell to the ground with half of its head.
The mummy with half of the attack power became even more manic. He grabbed the remaining claw towards Qi's door. Xiang Qi turned over and rolled on the ground a few times. At the same time, he dropped the pistol in his left hand, and quickly untied the bone-cutting knife wrapped around his arm, and threw out the big knife tied to one end of the leather rope.
The leather rope wrapped around the Corpse King's arm for a few times, then pulled it hard, and the claws that were pulled toward him were pulled in a direction. The Corpse King's center of gravity was unstable, so he fell to the ground. Xiang Qi turned over, picked up another bone-cutting knife, waved his arm and chopped off the entire Corpse King's arm.
"Ah, my favorite body! Damn human, it's really hateful! Since you have destroyed my body, I will use your own to accompany me. Although I am thin, I am still fresh."
Its favorite body?
Do you still have a body that you like and don’t like?
Xiang Qi felt dizzy in his head, and he was thinking about how to take the opportunity to solve the corpse king, so the doubt flashed through his mind and did not think about it again. He took out a grenade from the side pocket of his backpack behind him, pulled the safety ring, and retreated towards the water, while throwing the grenade that had popped the safety pin out, and rolled the grenade from between the corpse king's feet into the metal soft robe.
At the moment of explosion, Xiang Qi plunged into the water, and the sudden coldness made Chaos's consciousness feel a little clear.
I heard a loud noise outside under the water, and even the mountain could be felt slight vibration in the water, and the mud on the top fell down like a heavy rain.
Fortunately, this layer is high enough that the soil layer above has not been damaged by the air waves, otherwise he might have been buried here alive.
The explosion just now not only blew the entire Corpse King to pieces, but even the poisonous gas filled with the cave and the poisonous insects flying all over the sky were hit by the air waves to the edge of the cave.
There were many corpses of poisonous insects floating on the water. Five piles of phosphorus fires were completely extinguished, so Xiang Qi had to take out the only Beretta left on his body and turn on the small flashlight on the barrel.
With the light of the flashlight, he unexpectedly caught a familiar thing under the water, and then he realized that the skateboard that had been behind him had disappeared. It turned out that the thing fell off the shoulder strap just now when he fell off the upper layer.
This skateboard is very important and cannot be lost.
Xiang Qi sneaked down and picked up the skateboard, and suddenly saw a pale face next to the skateboard. Xiang Qi was so scared that he immediately pushed his legs away, and swept the flashlight around, and suddenly found that there were countless bodies deposited on the bottom of the river.
The Corpse King's words just now suddenly echoed in his mind, "This is my favorite body." Could it be that these... are also the Corpse King's bodies?
Xiang Qi's heart skipped a beat and almost choked.
