Chapter 502: Look at it, does it look like... (4400 words)

After jumping into a deep pit of fifty or sixty meters, Xu Xin and his wife were surprised to find that the pit was bigger than they imagined.

Xu Xin really didn't expect that there would be such a tree hidden underground a few hundred meters away from his tree house...

remains?

"There are really a lot of bugs here..." Lou Fei'er couldn't help complaining.

She even walked carefully.

Nowadays, the potholes are covered with insects and are completely dark.

Fortunately, there are basically only crawlers in the potholes now, and the number of flying insects is very small.

Perhaps it was because the flying speed of flying insects was much faster than the crawling speed of reptiles, so they all flew away with the giant insect just now.

The slow crawlers that entered the pit later remained in the cave.

Now, Xu Xin and Lou Fei'er were standing in the center of the group of insects. There were no reptiles within about one meter around them.

He tried to take two steps forward.

Immediately, the surrounding insects began to spread to the surroundings following his movements, always maintaining an open space of about one meter around them.

No insect wanted to come near the two of them.

"Sister Xue Fei's potion is so effective!" Lou Fei'er was a little surprised and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She was really afraid of bugs crawling on her.

Xu Xin nodded: "In this case, our actions will be much easier."

In fact, when they were on the ground before, the insects on the ground would dodge their footsteps. These bugs are still too weak individually. Humans are giants to these bugs, so it is normal to avoid them.

But at that time, there were basically no bugs only where the feet stepped on, and the area they spread out was only the size of footprints.

Now, bugs will not come close within one meter, which is indeed a lot more comfortable.

At least I'm not afraid of trampling too many bugs to anger the swarm and cause them to attack.

"Hey!" Coco, who was lying on Xu Xin's shoulder, also understood the situation, jumped down, and took two tentative steps forward.

A blank area immediately appeared around it.

"嘤嘤!" Coco suddenly wasn't afraid anymore.

"Why do these bugs stay in this pothole?" Lou Feier walked forward. Wherever she went, the swarms of bugs dispersed, which made her feel a little amused. "Don't they come out of the ground? They should. Can it be drilled into the ground? ”

"Who knows?" Xu Xin observed the surroundings carefully and said casually, "Maybe the giant insect ran too fast. These bugs don't know where the giant insect went, so they can only stay here."< br>


"Ha, it's really possible." Lou Fei'er jumped forward, and the insects on the ground quickly dispersed. Then she looked back at Xu Xin and smiled, "So, my master, how do you know? Will the giant insect escape?”

As soon as she relaxed, she started again.

Xu Xin glanced at her and continued to observe the surroundings: "I told you, it's a secret."

"That's right, you didn't even tell Wen Xi, how could you possibly tell me." Lou Feier pursed her lips and shrugged.

"Okay, take a closer look around and see if there is any other way here. Zeng Tao and the others should be down here."

"Oh, okay, then I'll go over there and have a look." Lou Fei'er immediately prepared to walk in the other direction.

"Come back, don't separate." Xu Xin frowned, "Do you want to disappear too?"

"Oh, okay..." She immediately followed Xu Xin obediently.

The potholes at this time are actually not very easy to explore.

Because there were too many bugs in the pit where many damaged ruins could be seen above.

Not only the ground, but everything was crawling with bugs.

Even the ancient stone statue that Xu Xin saw before was now covered with insects, and the face of the human face was no longer visible.

Nothing can be seen.

Moreover, these bugs not only crawled on it, they even made a faint gnawing sound.

"Squeak...click..."

I always feel that it won't be long before these bugs eat this place beyond recognition.

The pothole was not small, the area underneath was about the size of half a football field, and the entire hole was completely covered in black bugs.

The two of them could hardly see anything. Everything they could see was completely dark.

The rock walls of the pits were all covered with dense black beetles, and there seemed to be no caves to enter.

Looking around, I couldn't find any other passages at all, it seemed to be just a pothole.

"...Go and take a look at the stone sculpture with a human face just now."

The two immediately walked towards the large statue about twenty meters away from them.

Although the entire statue was covered in bugs, such a big thing standing here is still very conspicuous.

When they came to the statue, the bugs on the statue's surface scattered in all directions. Some crawled down, some climbed to the back, and some climbed to the head, revealing the statue's face in a second.

Although the statue only has one head and one face, it is four to five meters tall. Xu Xin's height only reaches the nose of the statue.

"This stone carving feels so old..." Lou Fei'er reached out and touched it, "It feels a bit like something from thousands of years ago."

This stone carving really gives people a feeling of the ancient Egyptian civilization on earth thousands of years ago.

The face on the stone carving is already a little blurry, and it’s hard to see the whole thing clearly when viewed at such a close distance.

Xu Xin took out insect repellent spray and sprayed it on the top, bottom, left and right of the entire statue.

Suddenly, the bugs crawling on the statue spread wildly again, exposing the statue's complete face.

Just an ordinary statue.

"Huh? Huh...?" Coco lay on Xu Xin's shoulder and tilted her little head.

"It's too close and I can't see the whole statue. Why do I feel that this statue has a strange feeling? I'll take a look from a distance!"

As she spoke, Lou Fei'er stepped back and observed the statue's head.

Strange feeling?

Xu Xin didn't feel it at all.

He reached out and touched it.

Then, what surprised him was that the statue did not give any hints or introductions.

"...?"

This made him a little uncomfortable after coming to this world, and he was used to having an introduction to everything.

This seemingly mysterious thing doesn’t even have an introduction?

"Xu Xin! You spray that insect repellent potion again, and those bugs come up again!" Lou Fei'er's shout came from behind.

The effect of the spray lasted only ten seconds. Now that the spray dissipated, bugs were crawling around again more than one meter away from him.

He stood facing the statue and sprayed it, then moved aside: "How is it, did you find anything?"

"Hmm...huh?" Lou Fei'er's eyes slowly opened wide, then she opened her mouth slightly and blinked, "This statue...huh? Is this...? Huh?"

She murmured doubts, even rubbed her eyes and looked again.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her appearance, Xu Xin was a little curious, "What did you see?"

Lou Fei'er glanced at him, her expression mixed with confusion and shock, and there were some unclear meanings in it: "Well, you can spray it for me again, those bugs are coming up again, I'll take another look..."< br>


"What's going on..." Xu Xin shook her head and sprayed a few more times.

"This..." The more Lou Fei'er looked at it, the weirder her expression became, "Um... otherwise, why don't you come and take a look for yourself? Maybe it's my problem, that I saw it wrong?"

"...? What on earth are you talking about? Forget it, let me go take a look. Come over and spray this place."

Xu Xin stepped forward.

"Hey..." Coco was still lying on his shoulder, turned her head and glanced at the human-faced statue.

The two passed each other.

Xu Xin came to the place where Lou Fei'er originally stood and looked back.

Lou Fei'er was standing in front of the statue, looking at the statue, and muttering something to herself, but he couldn't hear it.

Why did she feel so nauseous?

"Help me deworm." Xu Xin shouted to the other side.

"Oh..." Lou Fei'er immediately took out her own spray and sprayed it, then dodged away.

The overall appearance of the statue appeared completely before his eyes.

This is the face of a man with a strange headdress on his head, strange earrings on his left and right ears, and some strange patterns tattooed on his face. His eyes are open and looking straight ahead.

It does look like the traditional costumes of ethnic minorities.

Because the face is huge as a whole, and Xu Xin is directly looking at it, this lifeless head even gives him a very majestic feeling.

Is this the god worshiped by the ancients of this world?

Or maybe, the leader of some tribe? Like the high priest of the Mayan civilization.

"So, is there anything surprising about this?" Xu Xin looked at Lou Fei'er standing aside.

"...Don't you see?" Lou Fei'er's expression was still a bit exciting, "This statue looks like a person..."

Like a person?

Xu Xin looked at the face of the statue again.

When he was close just now, he couldn't see the entire statue. In addition, the facial features of the statue had been somewhat blurred by the wear and tear of time, so he had no impression of the overall appearance of the statue.

Now that we are far away, it is much clearer.

This appearance...

Hearing what Lou Fei'er said, it seemed a bit familiar.

It seems to be a picture...

A very familiar face.

familiar……?

Xu Xin suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"This..."

This is not...

Lou Fei'er, who was next to the statue, saw Xu Xin's expression and immediately shouted: "You can see it! The face of this statue is your face! This is your head!"

……

"These bugs...are they crazy!"

Zeng Tao sat in a stone room, leaning against the stone door, gasping for air, and then cursed: "Why are they suddenly attacking us! They are clearly not interested in people on the ground! Oh, it hurts! It hurts!" ”

She raised her somewhat miserable little hand, groaned, gritted her teeth and said, "And what is that giant insect just now!"

Both of her hands were dripping with blood at this time.

"Take some medicine quickly." Jin Yue knew that her hand was injured, so she took out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, "Recover."

"Ugh...oooh, it hurts..."

Under the influence of the pills, Zeng Tao's hands gradually returned to their white and tender state.

Zeng Tao rubbed the blood on her hand against the steel armor and stood up against the stone door: "We can't get out now, can we?"

Just now, they escaped into this stone room against the swarm of insects that were attacking them crazily.

This low stone house is one of the few buildings in this area that only has a door and no windows.

Most buildings have both door openings and window openings, and there are also empty openings without doors or windows, which cannot be closed at all.

Some have removable doors, but the window openings cannot be closed.

After searching for a long time, the two finally found the room. They entered the room, slammed the door shut, and then threw a torch into the house to kill the bugs that followed them into the house on the spot.

The torch at this time was still burning in the corner.

Jin Yue walked to the corner and picked up the torch: "Don't go out for the time being. The swarm of insects outside is too crazy."

"Isn't it!" Although her hand has recovered, Zeng Tao still groped for her little hand and said in fear, "There is no way to counterattack, you have bitten my hand like this!"

"So why don't you cover your hands too." Jin Yue glanced at her, "You obviously covered your whole body so tightly when you came out."

"Isn't that because... the hand is wrapped around my hand and the knife feels bad..." Zeng Tao felt a little embarrassed, "And the bugs outside didn't attack us, so I took it off. But it's of no use now."

Zeng Tao pointed to the cloth used to cover Jin Yue's hand: "It's all chewed up."

Jin Yue tore off these steps.

The cloth is almost torn.

The attack power of those bugs should not be underestimated. Even if she kept telling her to move and swatting away the bugs on her body, the fabric on her body still suffered.

Fortunately, the purple-grade steel armor was unscathed, and the bite force of the insects could not damage the steel armor.

But the steel armor doesn't have much effect.

After all, this is armor, not tights, and bugs can sneak in through the gaps at will.

These gaps were covered before, but now...

They have all been chewed up.

If they had been a minute later, I'm afraid both of them would have been bitten by bugs into their clothes and their bodies would be bloody and bloody...

"...This group of bugs is as crazy as a group of wasps that have stabbed their nest."

Outside the house, the sound of insects was still very loud, and even the sound of insects hitting the stone door could be heard from time to time.

Fortunately, the stone door is very thick, at least ten centimeters thick, and very heavy. Although there are many insects, it is impossible to break it open.

Even Zeng Tao had spent a lot of time opening this door just now.

It was also because of this that her hand was chewed like that.

"This stone door is really ridiculously heavy!" Zeng Tao no longer leaned on the door, because she also knew that those insects could not open the door. "How on earth were the buildings in this place built? With my strength, I can push the door open." Every door is so difficult..."

"We can only wait here." Jin Yue sat down against the wall, "We can only wait until those bugs leave before we go out."

The two of them had just tried torches outside, but just like on the ground, although the torches could attract swarms of insects, they were extinguished instantly due to too many.

"If I had known earlier, I should have brought some of those mutated vines down." Zeng Tao sighed, "That thing might still be useful."

It's a pity that the two of them don't carry that kind of thing with them.

Now they can only wait for the opportunity.

……

Xu Xin was squatting next to the statue at this time, checking the situation here.

But he inspected it carefully for a long time, and even jumped on top of the statue, but he didn't find anything magical about the statue.

This seems to be a very ordinary stone statue.

But...

Why...his face?

Or does it just look similar to him?

But this is...too much of a coincidence, right?

A statue that looked very similar to him was found several hundred meters underground around his tree house?

This made him feel a little nervous.

"Xu Xin, here! Come here quickly, this seems to be an entrance!" About twenty meters away from Xu Xin, at the edge of the rock wall, Lou Feier turned around and shouted, "Keke found it!"

Xu Xin immediately stood up and walked over.

On the rock wall in front of Lou Fei'er, the insects dispersed due to her approach, revealing what was inside.

A door.

A double stone door with a curved top.

It seems like there is an entrance to a dungeon.

On the stone door, there are some incomprehensible words carved on it.

"Hey!" Coco climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder and pointed at the stone door with her little paws, "Hey!"

It looked like they were going to move on from here. (End of chapter)
