Chapter 358: Waiting for the Enemy
Walking among the dense vegetation, relying on a simple impression of the terrain, the group braved the heavy rain to pull out vines in search of a path, heading towards the entrance of the Worm Valley as their target. A tough trek.
As he got closer to his destination, Chen Ziyan was surprised to find that although the sky in the distance was also gray, there was no rain falling. Compared with the continuous rain above his head, it was like It's like the world has changed.
The rest of the people also discovered this at this moment. Hu Bayi frowned and said: "It seems that this heavy rain is limited to this insect valley. Although it is not sunny outside, there is no such heavy rain. Ah!”
Wang Kaixuan scratched his head in confusion: “This is really weird. There are two different weathers in this palm-sized place?”
Shirley Yang was not too surprised. She thought for a while and said, "Although this kind of thing sounds magical, it is actually a not uncommon natural phenomenon. I have encountered it before when I was working in tropical areas. It is a common thing for the locals to have two different climates on the east and west sides of a town.”
Although I have witnessed many weird things, my first reaction when encountering this kind of thing is, Shirley Yang is still more accustomed to using science to explain.
Maybe... this is the worldview she has accepted for many years. After suffering a strong impact, the only stubbornness left.
Seeing that Chen Ziyan was only a few dozen meters away from the mouth of the valley and could clearly see the tops of the two meteorites, he stopped the discussion among several people and began to make the next arrangements:
< br>"After everyone passes the valley entrance, go straight to the nearby hillside and leave the rest to me."
Wang Kaixuan subconsciously wanted to refute and take the job on himself, but before he could say anything, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound of falling trees in the forest behind him. He didn't even need to look back to know that it was that person. The corpse cave was chased out of the ground.
When I looked back, the first thing I saw was billowing black smoke. Even though the heavy rain made the sky dim, it was just a blur of vision. At this moment, when the black smoke that covered the sky came out, it seemed like It was as if the dark clouds in the deep valley were chasing me.
Fortunately, Chen Ziyan and the others are very close to the mouth of the valley now. The straight-line distance is roughly estimated to be no more than thirty meters. Even if they walk slowly over, they can definitely reach the mouth of the valley safely before the corpse cave catches up.
"This ghost ate all the corpses in Gourd Cave so quickly?" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but said when he saw the doomsday scene behind him.
He thought that it would take at least a few hours for the Corpse Cave to devour all the Yiren female corpses in the Calabash Cave. He did not expect that they would chase them out so quickly, which was indeed a bit beyond his expectation. .
Hu Bayi's thinking was sharp. Thinking of the corpse of King Xian that disappeared after entering the corpse cave, he couldn't help but look at Chen Ziyan: "Mr. Chen, is it because of the corpse of King Xian?"
Chen Ziyan said before that the corpse cave would When he had been chasing King Xian's body, he hadn't paid much attention to it, but now that he looked at it in light of the actual situation, he didn't know that there was another mystery behind King Xian's body.
"Well, there is a time limit. If you don't replenish the corpse cave, you will easily miss the opportunity. But you don't have to worry, everything is under my control." Chen Ziyan glanced at the valley entrance in front of him. Tianse, replied softly.
In fact, Chen Ziyan had expected in advance that the corpse cave would be chased out of the ground now.
After all, when he passed the center of the Calabash Cave just now, he had already passed the system's task completion prompt and knew that the speed behind the corpse cave would increase significantly.
Although it is impossible to get an accurate time, based on the speed at which the Corpse Cave devoured Huo's Undead Worms, it is not difficult to deduce that the Corpse Cave will emerge from the ground during this time period. It is precisely because of this that Chen Ziyan did not show too much surprise after discovering the corpse cave and catching up.
"Let's go through the valley entrance first. This will be the natural chasm for the corpse cave!" Chen Ziyan quickly calculated his plan in his heart, and after making sure that there were no omissions, He urged a few people around him.
Hu Bayi and the others had already heard Chen Ziyan talk about their plan, and naturally they would not be a disservice at this moment, so they hurriedly walked through the valley entrance.
Chen Ziyan deliberately slowed down a bit and stayed until the last one to walk through the valley entrance. After seeing that the rest of the people had gone to the nearby hillside as he had arranged, he turned around to face the insect valley and handed over the offerings. The king's jade head was taken out from the portable space.
And just after the head, which looked like a jade ball, returned to this world, the corpse cave falling far behind seemed to be stimulated. The billowing black smoke erupted crazily, and in the blink of an eye, the body behind it The sky was dyed gray.
The advancing speed of the corpse cave has increased even more, and the sound of 'rumbling' has become more and more deafening. Standing at the mouth of the valley and looking over, the continuously collapsing trees look like waves, quite a bit... The stormy waves crashing onto the shore.
After taking a look at the corpse cave approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye, Chen Ziyan turned around and headed towards the hillside facing the valley entrance.
Although the unique Feng Shui situation of Taniguchi is perfect for defeating the corpse cave, this thing is charging so fiercely now. He is afraid that an accident will happen if he stands too close, so it is better to stay away a little bit.
After all, it’s better to nip it in the bud!
As they walked, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't take out King Xian's head in advance. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so calm along the way, and they would have been chased up and down.
Chen Ziyan stood alone on the hillside opposite the entrance of the valley, while the others stood on the side hillside. Everyone looked intently at the insect valley.
Under their gaze, the continuous trees in the valley were like toppled dominoes, being pushed to the ground lightly, as if they had become the nourishment for the billowing black smoke.
After about a few minutes, as the rumblings continued to intensify, the dark sky seemed to be right in front of us. At the same time, the trees in the valley could no longer hide the figure of the corpse cave. Standing outside the valley Everyone could already see the dark carrion exposed in the gaps between the trees.
Although it has long been speculated that the corpse cave will greatly increase in size after devouring the corpses in the gourd cave, the vague outline now still makes everyone tremble.
The current corpse cave is like a small mountain of meat. It easily knocks down the thousand-year-old trees blocking the road in front of it. The whole process seems as simple as eating and drinking water.
To Chen Ziyan and the others, they felt like people walking on the grass. No matter how strong the grass in front of them was, it would not cause any obstacles to the pedestrians. The process of breaking through the blockade was full of a sense of naturalness.
