Chapter 22 - Burning the Centipede
Not long after, I saw the rope move three times in succession, and it seemed that the other side was safe.
"Brothers, the gold and silver treasures are right across the way, let's start work!"
Under Chen Yulou's arrangement and command, everyone began to crawl into the robbery cave in an orderly manner.
The deeper you go into the hole, the stronger the smell becomes in the air.
Although the underground palace has been sealed for a long time, it is not strange to have such a smell, but Ye Bai felt the strange movement of Xiao Hei in the snake cage.
"What's wrong, Xiao Hei?" Ye Bai asked in a low voice in snake language.
"Hiss, hiss." (Danger, ahead.)
It was probably because Xiao Hei sensed the breath of the six-winged centipede that he was so scared.
"Don't be afraid. If there is danger, I will take you to escape first. They can't escape us." After comforting Xiao Hei in snake language, Chen Yulou turned around and asked.
"Brother Ye Bai, what happened?"
Ye Bai said: "Xiao Hei said there is something in front of him that scares him."
Chen Yulou nodded, his face solemn.
Although they were well prepared for this trip, he was still wary of the six-winged centipede described by Ye Bai. Such a monster would probably cost human lives to kill it.
If Xiling is damaged again, he will no longer be the leader.
Following the robbery cave, everyone came to a huge, cold and damp cave.
In the center of the cave, a wide stone path leads straight into the depths. There are more than a dozen eight-treasure glass lamps placed on both sides of the stone path, illuminating the dark cave a lot.
Ye Bai and Chen Yulou have excellent eyesight. Behind the stone path is a palace gate. This gate was built with nine layers of poles and has extremely high standards.
The entire Pingshan Mountain was hollowed out, and countless materials had to be transported into the deep mountains. This was an unimaginable and shocking project in ancient times.
Seeing this spectacular scene, Luo Laowai couldn't help but said excitedly.
"It's his grandma, I'm not dreaming, right?" He said while slapping his subordinate, Adjutant Yang, "Does it hurt? I'm asking you if it hurts?"
Adjutant Yang was so stunned that he uttered one word.
"pain!"
"As long as it hurts, I'm not dreaming! Hahaha, it's his grandma's fault, I've made a fortune."
"Brother Chen, now we will make a fortune."
Chen Yulou couldn't help but said: "Luo Shuai, don't worry, now is not the time to be happy. If we don't get rid of the centipedes in the underground palace, even if all the treasures are placed in front of us, we won't be able to get one."
"Okay, brother Chen, you are an expert in burial. You have the final say, and I will listen to you." Luo Laowai quickly shut up and suppressed his heart that was about to move.
Chen Yulou carefully observed the terrain in the underground palace, discussed with Ye Bai Partridge Whistle, and decided to use food to lure out the centipedes first.
Huamaguai and Kunlun each led a small team to pour the blood of animals on both sides of the stone path.
The thick smell of blood immediately spread to the entire cave,
After a while, Ye Bai heard subtle rustling sounds, dense and clear. At the same time, Xiao Hei in the snake cage became more and more restless.
Fortunately, I left Daqing and Erqing in Yizhuang this time. Otherwise, the two timid snakes might have fainted in the snake cage.
"The poisonous centipede is coming, everyone, prepare!" Chen Yulou said loudly.
"Whoosh!"
For a moment, the fishy smell surged into the sky, and at a glance, there were densely packed centipedes all around.
This amount can almost pile up into a small mountain.
Seeing this scene, the people who were discharging the mountain were fine, but the warlord's men began to panic, and the gunfire seemed to be non-stop.
"ah!"
Bang! Bang!
In just an instant, a few running soldiers were entangled by centipedes and fell into the centipede army, turning into a puddle of thick water.
Just when Chen Yulou wanted Luo Laowai to stop him, he found that Luo Laowai was also hurriedly firing his gun outside.
"Made, you idiot!" Chen Yulou swore a rare curse word, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone retreat to the lime. If there is blood, the centipede will not come."
At Chen Yulou's voice, the soldiers quickly calmed down and began to clean up the centipedes in an orderly manner with the Xiling people.
Perhaps the centipedes in the underground palace had not smelled such a strong smell of blood for a long time. More and more centipedes crawled out from the abnormal corners and gaps and gathered towards the blood.
Seeing that the number of poisonous centipedes was about the same, Chen Yulou hurriedly ordered again.
"Quick! Spread oil and set fire!"
The fire took advantage of the power of the oil and burned instantly. The smelly centipede seemed to be a good combustion accelerant. It burned in the flames and emitted bursts of black smoke.
Two clusters of fire illuminated the entire cave.
The poisonous centipede underneath him was frightened by the fire and fled in a hurry, and soon disappeared.
"Finally burned these monsters to death."
"It's his grandma's. The smell is so damn unpleasant. This centipede probably didn't grow up eating shit." Luo Laowai covered his nose and moved forward to inspect the centipede's burnt corpse.
Just when they were relaxing, a loud noise scared everyone and staggered.
"boom!"
"what happened?"
"Something is hitting the palace door." One person pointed to the palace doorway at the end of the stone path.
"The thing hit me from the inside. It belongs to his grandma. This kid is right. There really is a big centipede." Mr. Luo held his chin crookedly, a little unconcerned.
Just now, he almost wiped out the poisonous centipede group, which greatly boosted his confidence.
"Don't be afraid. The brothers in Xiling will act according to the plan and set up traps first." Chen Yulou said to Mr. Luo again: "Shuai Luo, let your brothers stay back to avoid getting hurt later."
Luo Laowai realized this time that Chen Yulou disliked them getting in the way.
How could he compromise so easily if he has such a good face?
"Brother Chen, I didn't contribute much on this journey. Besides, I can't bear to see any more casualties among the brothers in Xiling. Don't worry, my brothers are not good at firearms and explosives. Once this big centipede appears, I'm afraid
You don’t want to be sieved by us!”
Seeing Luo Laowai's persistence, Chen Yulou had no choice but to ignore him.
While the two were talking, the palace door was hit hard twice more. It seemed that the crumbling palace door might not be able to hold up for much longer.
The partridge whistle whispered to Hua Ling and the old foreigner: "When the six-winged centipede appears later, you two stay with brother Ye Bai and protect him. Don't let him get hurt."
"Don't worry, senior brother." The two of them responded at the same time, knowing that the key to whether moving mountains could lift the curse lies with Ye Bai.
The partridge whistle opened the chicken coop and said to the angry chicken: "Brother Chicken, I know that you are full of aura and extraordinary in nature. You can destroy evil spirits, poisons, mirages, and expel ghosts. Today, we will have a life-and-death battle. What are your abilities?"
Use them all, but don't let your reputation as the Furious Golden Rooster be ruined."
The Angry Chicken seemed to be able to hear people's words, so it croaked loudly, jumped out of the frame, and walked towards the palace door.
