In the eerie corridor, Su Nianzhi was supporting Ah Wu. On both sides were vines that were strangely twisted together. There was a kind of soft-bodied insect crawling on them. Its tail was like a small lantern that emitted a flickering green light.
If you didn't look at the soft, white insects, which were three thick insects, it would have been a pretty sight.
Su Nianzhi's eyes lit up when he saw the insects. If he wasn't supporting Awu, he would have rushed over to study them.
The story of why they appeared here started a few hours ago.
Shi Sheng was walking along the same route as the convoy in front of them. Along the way, they saw corpses and equipment.
But just a few hours ago, they found a strange city in the desert. It was strange because it was intact. It was almost impossible to find a city like this in the desert.
But it really existed.
They found two cars outside the city and some traces of activity, but no people.
All the equipment in the cars was gone. They must have entered the city.
Shi Sheng entered the city without hesitation. Awu and Su Nianzhi had to follow him.
Just as they entered the city, before they had time to check their surroundings, there was a sudden earthquake. The whole city began to sink, and endless yellow sand poured in from all sides.
The last thing they saw was a flash of cold light. When they woke up, they were lying in the eerie corridor.
Shi Sheng stood not far away, poking at the bugs on the leaves with her sword. They saw with their own eyes how those soft bugs opened their mouths, revealed their sharp teeth, and bit the sword. Then, as if they had eaten something disgusting, they quickly loosened their mouths, rolled into a ball, and rolled off the leaves, disappearing into the lush leaves.
The corridor was not wide. It could only allow one person to pass. If they were not careful, they would bump into the insects on the leaves.
Su Nianzhi and Awu struggled to walk, but Shi Sheng walked in front of them as if he was walking on flat ground. If they couldn't pass, he would just cut them.
So, not only did they have to pay attention to the sides, but they also had to pay attention to their feet.
"How long is this?" Su Nianzhi was a little irritable. They had walked for so long, but they still hadn't gotten out of this eerie place.
"Young Master, be careful." Awu pulled Su Nianzhi. Behind him, an insect opened its mouth and bit nothing, falling directly from the leaf to the ground.
Su Nianzhi suddenly took out his scalpel and stabbed at the insect on the ground.
"Crack!"
A crisp voice rang out in the quiet corridor.
The scalpel in Su Nianzhi's hand was bitten off by the insect. It opened its mouth and was about to bite Su Nianzhi's hand.
"Do you think your scalpel is a diamond?" Shi Sheng, who had walked far away, suddenly came back and stabbed the insect with his Iron Sword from the side.
Su Nianzhi looked at the insect in confusion, then looked at Shi Sheng's sword.
Looking at the materials … they were all about the same. Why were the bugs unable to bite through hers, but the bugs that bit him were crunchy?!
Shi Sheng withdrew his sword. His eyes were calm and almost indifferent. "Continue if you want to die."
"Young Master …" He couldn't even knock him out now. How frustrating.
Su Nianzhi looked at Shi Sheng and quickly took out a transparent bottle. He picked up the insect that was stabbed to death by Shi Sheng and put it into the bottle.
Shi Sheng was speechless. 'Such a dedicated pervert, I'm impressed.'
He deserved to die.
Shi Sheng turned around and continued to walk forward.
…
"Splash …"
The clear sound of running water was getting closer. At the end of this strange corridor, there was a flat protruding ground. The plants were left in the corridor and didn't extend out.
In front of the flat ground was a small stream. The protruding ground was already in the stream. The stream was one step higher than the other and extended upwards.
Shi Sheng shone the light at the top. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. It was the same as the corridor behind her.
The corridor ended here. There was a path on the other side of the stream. The protruding ground was about five meters away from the other side. The water in the stream was very shallow, not even knee-deep. It seemed easy to pass through.
Through the light, she could see the bottom. There was something like a cobblestone under it. Shi Sheng poked it with her sword, and the cobblestone suddenly came to life. It turned into a long worm and quickly wrapped itself around the iron sword.
Perhaps it felt uncomfortable. It let go of the Iron Sword and swung it a few times in the water. Then it disappeared into the darkness.
Shi Sheng was speechless. He knew it couldn't be so harmless.
As a tomb raider, how could it be so easy to pass through this dangerous place?
Every step was dangerous and every step was poisonous.
"Ahhhhh!!"
A scream came from behind. Shi Sheng stood up and looked back.
A group of people was coming from the other side. The scream stopped them. Voices rang out in the darkness.
"It's the archeological team," Awu whispered.
They walked along one end of the corridor and didn't know where the other end was. Obviously, those people came from the other side.
"There's someone in front." The archeological team noticed Awu and Su Nianzhi. A few beams of light shot over, shining on Awu and Su Nianzhi.
"Professor Su?" The person opposite them called out hesitantly. "Is that Professor Su?"
Su Nianzhi ignored them. Awu had no choice but to respond on his behalf. They didn't know what was going on. It was better not to make too many enemies.
The archeological team only came over after they received an answer.
There were more than ten people in total. All of them were in a sorry state. Some of them sat on the ground and panted. This place was a nightmare. They had never seen anything dangerous before.
"Are you the only ones left?" Su Nianzhi didn't care, but Awu had to understand the situation.
"We got separated from the rest." The archeological team's representative wiped off his cold sweat. He looked exhausted. "But Mr. Pei is behind us."
Someone on Pei Ye's side had been bitten and couldn't move forward. They had left first.
At this thought, the archeological team's representative immediately turned around to look for the person who had screamed. "Professor Feng, how are you?"
There was a bite mark on the back of Professor Feng's hand. It was red and swollen. It felt like someone had poured salt water on the wound. Professor Feng was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
Someone was squatting beside him, disinfecting him and stopping the pain. However, it was useless.
"Kill me, kill me … Ah …" Professor Feng couldn't stand the pain. He grabbed the person beside him. "Kill me, it hurts …"
"Professor Feng, bear with it. You'll be fine." The archeological team's representative comforted Professor Feng even though he wasn't sure if Professor Feng would be fine.
Professor Feng's wound was getting more and more swollen. Not only was it painful, but it was also extremely itchy. Professor Feng couldn't help but scratch it.
The wound was a mess of flesh and blood.
Seeing that Professor Feng was getting out of control, the archeological team's representative immediately shouted to the people beside him, "Two of you, grab Professor Feng."
Shi Sheng supported himself with his sword and watched them struggle. After a while, he said softly, "I advise you to kill him."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" The archeological team's representative glared at Shi Sheng. Seeing that it was a new face, he couldn't help but get even angrier. "Who are you?"
