Chapter 26 Blood Ants
We didn't care about chasing us and tried to stop him from continuing to advance, but we didn't expect that his speed suddenly became extremely fast, as if we were on a clockwork, and in a short while he pulled us down a big piece.
Gradually, the fork in front began to tilt down again. We followed the shipowner and unknowingly chased into a large space. Everyone stopped and looked around and it turned out to be an underground palace.
In a blink of an eye, it became brightly lit inside, with everlasting lights everywhere, and brand new blue bricks were covered with the ground.
The table, chairs, benches and beds are all equipped with decorations, and they look quite luxurious.
The wall is like outside, full of murals and symbols, and there is a tall portrait every two meters. The portrait looks extremely majestic and majestic, with her eyes glaring ahead.
The owner of the ship took a long walk and finally stopped because there was only the entrance and exit of the underground palace when it came in, and other places were closed.
Jinhu and I rushed forward and held him down. He knew that he was extremely strong and broke away from us in just a few seconds, intending to escape.
At this moment, Qin Xuanling rushed up with a quick step and slammed hard on his forehead. The owner of the ship fainted and fainted on the ground.
Jin Hu couldn't help but kick the shipowner hard and scolded angrily: "Old guy, if you want to die, go out and look for it again. What's going on?"
Qin Xuanling stopped Jin Hu and said, "Don't hit him, he should have been attacked by a gang."
As he said that, Qin Xuanling turned the owner over, and saw that the owner's face turned pale, foaming at the corner of his mouth, and black hair growing on his arms.
Everyone was shocked to see this situation and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Qin Xuanling squatted on the ground and opened the shipowner's eyelids. He saw that his eyes were blood-red, which was very terrifying.
I hurriedly asked what poison this is, is it powerful?
Qin Xuanling did not answer, rolled up the owner's sleeves again, and in an instant, countless blood-red small insects scattered everywhere. Their limbs were extremely short and looked like ants, but they were dense and very scattered. They crawled into the cracks in the ground in just a few seconds and disappeared.
Qin Xuanling then said, "This is a blood ants. There are also many evil techniques in Guigu Sect. They practice these evil ways. Blood ants are one of them, specifically used to harm people.
I have seen the written records they passed down before. I chose termites in early summer and fed them with blood from five poisons: centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, geckos and toads. Until the termites' whole body turns red, they use evil magic to make them eat each other. In the end, only some short but extremely aggressive ones are left, and they become blood ants.
Because they have absorbed the five poison blood and eroded the same type, they will become very bloodthirsty. As long as they attach to the human body, they will drill into the pores. The venom they secrete can numb the human nerves in an instant, and then cause the person who is infected to be mentally confused and die suddenly within half an hour."
Everyone couldn't help but feel cold and creepy when they heard this.
Professor Wu asked again, "Then is he still saved?"
Qin Xuanling pulled out a silver needle from the corner of his sleeve and replied, "I can only do my best. Now the poison of the poison has spread to his heart. If he can't force it out, even if Hua Tuo is alive, he can't save him."
I regretted not preparing some anti-virus and insect-proof medicine before coming. If I were to be attacked by these elusive insects, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing that Qin Xuanling had many needles on the shipowner's body, the owner's face still did not change at all, and the black hair on his arms continued to grow wildly.
Seeing that the matter could not be solved for a while, Professor Wu said, "Let's hand over the boss of the boat to Brother Qin for treatment. Everyone should take a break and take a look at the situation in this underground palace."
Thinking of the blood ants just now, everyone didn't dare to sit on the ground to rest, especially Uncle Long took out a pair of thick boots to put them on, for fear of being attacked by the blood ants.
I walked around the palace and suddenly realized that this palace seemed to have seen it somewhere. I remembered that it was a scene in a painting, with a magnificent painting of a palace, which was surprisingly similar to this place.
Just as I was trying to recall, Siyan came over and said, "This palace is strange, and it looks slanted from the level."
I leaned over and saw that four-eyed eyes were holding a gravity level in their hands. This instrument could automatically measure the inclination through gravity as long as it was placed on the flat ground.
According to common sense, after entering the palace, the ground is flat and we don’t notice anything wrong. But if we look carefully at the data on the level, it is inclined forty-five degrees, and it will shift left and right from time to time.
What's going on? Are we all walking slanted now? Or is this palace moving?
Professor Wu also felt incredible after hearing this, so he asked Siyan: "Is there any problem with the level, or there is magnetic field interference here?"
Four-eye replied, "I bought this level from Germany. The error is extremely small and will not be affected by external forces. I am sure there is nothing wrong."
Uncle Long said in surprise: "No, can't we all walk slanted now? But I feel it's normal." As he said that, he also made great strides.
Suddenly I saw that there was a unique floor tiles under his feet, and they were very different from other floor tiles in terms of their color and shape.
Thinking of the possibility of many mechanisms here, I hurriedly reminded him not to walk around anymore.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, he stepped on the floor tiles, and then was stunned and said in a panic: "I seem... I really stepped on the machine."
I suddenly became nervous and threw Professor Wu and Xiaoqian to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Be careful, everyone!"
Before the others could react, the walls on both sides of the palace suddenly shook, and then two silver spears shot towards Uncle Long, one left and one right.
Uncle Long was stunned and almost forgot to hide. Awei, who was beside him, saw the silver spear coming, stepped forward and pushed Uncle Long down. In a flash, the two silver spears shot Awei directly into each other.
I saw Awei's body trembling with the silver spear through, then lying on the ground. For a moment, the spleen in his stomach mixed with intestines flowed all over the ground, and the blood in his abdomen kept spraying out, and he was completely unable to do it.
Uncle Long climbed up from the ground regardless of the danger and hugged Awei, screaming in his mouth, looking heartbroken.
After waiting for a few minutes, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no silver spear shot out again. I quickly got up from the ground and rushed to Awei.
Uncle Long hugged Awei's body and cried bitterly, saying that it was all his fault, but unfortunately Awei was so loyal and righteous, and he was in vain for his life.
Everyone felt a little uncomfortable. Although Awei has not talked much after getting along these days, he is quite solid. In addition, he is tall and tall, so he is a good helper.
The atmosphere in the palace became very depressing for a while. The thrilling days of life had already made everyone tired. Dajun and Lin Qian had an accident one after another. Now Awei has encountered another unexpected situation, which undoubtedly casts a shadow on everyone.
After a while of silence, Uncle Long proposed to take Awei's body out no matter what, but Professor Wu refused on the spot. The road ahead was dangerous and unknown. Taking Awei's body with him was obviously a big burden.
But Uncle Long didn't listen to anything, insisting that Awei sacrificed his life for him and would take him out for a decent burial no matter what.
I saw that it was difficult to change Uncle Long's wishes for a while, so I pulled Professor Wu over and whispered: "Uncle Long is just loyal, and there is nothing wrong with this. Let's follow his wish first. After a while, he might change his mind and deal with Awei's body at that time."
Professor Wu had no choice but to nodded in agreement, so Jinhu and I stepped forward to deal with the corpse briefly, and wrapped the corpse in it with the big sleeping bag Awei used during his lifetime.
After we dealt with the body, the owner of the ship woke up and stared at him with rat eyes.
Qin Xuanling walked over and pulled out the silver needle on his body, and then he asked weakly: "What happened just now?"
Jin Hu said angrily: "You old man was bitten by a bug, got infected with a gull, and almost died."
The shipowner quickly got up and saw the dense red dots on his body and the black hair that had not yet receded on his arms, and he suddenly became dizzy again.
Everyone ignored him and let him lie on the ground.
I smoked and observed the murals on the wall for a while, and found that these murals seemed to be related to the ones in the outside passage. To be precise, they were like comic strips, and many of the contents were coherent.
For example, the picture in front of me happened to be the continuation of the mural that I saw first in the passage. In that picture, it depicts the battle between the two armies, while the picture in front of me is like the soldiers of both sides negotiated in a cloudy and mist place after the war.
But what I am most interested in is the tall portrait, which is very exquisite no matter how you look at it, and the description of the characters' movements and expressions is also quite realistic.
Then I suddenly realized that the portrait shouldn't be drawn by Xu Fu's disciple Chen Yanshu, right?
I was about to turn around and tell Professor Wu, but I accidentally discovered that the portrait seemed to be moving!
Professor Wu saw me standing in amazement and looked at me with my eyes, and was stunned.
