Chapter 2572: No fire
Wang Lei now did not want to call Lin Ran by his first name, and directly called him a charlatan.
But the irony is that even if he doesn't like this person, Wang Lei still feels that he is the only one who can see through the trap of the ancient tomb.
He was praying in his heart. Lin Ran told him that these were all hallucinations, so that he could stop and face these corpses. They had already encountered this scene on the altar before.
It's just that at that time, the corpse crickets did not emerge from the ground, but climbed up from the tree trunks and the edge of the platform. At that time, there were fifteen of them, and they were all caught in a bitter fight.
Thinking of this incident, Wang Lei also thought of another terrible thing.
Even when they all fell into hallucination, Fang Yuan did not take action.
Otherwise, if his fighting power is so strong, it would be impossible for him to be completely unimpressed.
Lin Ran was running now, and he didn't understand what was going on, so he ignored Wang Lei and just kept running forward with the team.
Wang Lei thought that Lin Ran deliberately put on small shoes for him, and he was very angry.
"You bastard! Don't be great if you know some strange skills in the future!" Wang Lei didn't get an answer and was very confused.
Lin Ran didn't deliberately not answer Wang Lei's question, but this puzzle also existed in his mind.
He didn't know why so many corpses suddenly appeared. It could be said to be an illusion. He was already in an illusion. The Qingqiu Demon Fox's illusion spells hadn't been able to catch him before. There were more corpses in this ancient tomb. Are demon foxes more terrifying?
Lin Ran didn't dare to tell whether these corpse crickets were hallucinations. After all, a place like this was indeed very suitable for the growth of corpse crickets, and there were even enough corpses to make blood corpses.
Everyone had already started running towards the tomb. They were all in good physical condition, and they seemed to have received professional training. They used abdominal breathing, and no one had any hiccups after running for so long.
Wang Lei looked at Lin Ran with some surprise. This kid seemed to be the weakest person in the team. He didn't expect him to run very fast.
Wang Lei was stunned. Could it be that Lin Ran knew Kung Fu?
Even though Meng Xing is a girl, the Lin family's education has always been very strict, and Meng Xing's strength is probably higher than Wang Lei's. This is the main reason why Wang Lei feels extremely stressed.
Soon, the pressure fell on him.
"No, I can't run away!" Wang Lei shouted in frustration as he ran.
With so many corpse crickets and the narrow passage, the corpse crickets move very fast.
If it's just about speed, it's impossible to be an opponent of these bugs.
Wang Lei ran at the end of the team and was about to be bitten by the corpse cricket.
However, in the next second, Fang Yuan suddenly stood in front of him, stretched out his finger, and tapped the zombie that rushed towards him. The zombie fell directly to the ground as if it had lost its soul.
"What kind of trick is this?"
Fang Yuan simply stopped pretending, stopped and said, "You go first, I have a way to deal with these corpse crickets."
"That's what you said!" Wang Lei was not grateful because of Fang Yuan's life-saving grace. Instead, he was resentful of Fang Yuan because of his incompetence.
Since Fang Yuan himself was willing to stay and break up his family, Wang Lei really wanted it. He wanted to suggest that Lin Ran stay together.
When Lin Ran saw this scene, although he was a little reluctant to give up, he knew that he still had important things to do and ran forward without his life.
Only Meng Xing stopped and saw Fang Yuan standing straight among the zombies!
"Brother Fang!" Meng Xing originally wanted to win over Fang Yuan. Although she didn't know what happened, she knew that it was not easy to trap Fang Yuan.
Could it be that Wang Lei framed him behind his back?
"Wang Lei, what happened?" Meng Xing questioned Wang Lei with extremely harsh words for the first time.
Wang Lei was stunned for a moment. The two of them were childhood sweethearts. He noticed the dissatisfaction in Meng Xing's words and slowed down a little.
After all, Fang Yuan stood there and delayed them for a short time. It didn't matter if they escaped slower.
Because Wang Lei had already thought of another solution, which was to kill Lin Ran in a while.
Corpse crickets will stop chasing when eating, and they are not a species that knows how to distribute. They will fight with each other in order to snatch food.
As long as a corpse is left for them, they can fight for life and death.
The liar had already suffered his retribution, and Wang Lei even just wanted to escape faster.
"Fang Yuan, he is so great, he wants to stay and give us a break!" Wang Lei stopped and said sincerely.
"Brother Fang, you..." Meng Xing was about to call Fang Yuan, but in the end, he saw that all the zombies had covered his body and hugged him tightly.
There is no help.
Even the extremely optimistic Lin Ran couldn't accept himself at all.
"Do you want to continue moving forward?" Meng Xing asked.
But she was not asking Wang Lei, but Lin Ran.
Lin Ran also stopped, but he did not feel sorry for himself like the others. Instead, he was rummaging through his backpack, shaking his head and saying, "Technology has advanced, but we don't even have torches?"
You must know that in archaeological work, the role of torches is not only for lighting. The temperature of the flame can dispel the cold and bring a sense of warmth to people in the dark. It is a very important archaeological prop.
I got all the tools I could prepare in my backpack, except for the torch.
"I need fire. Which of you has fire?" Lin Ran asked.
"Fire? What do you want this for?" Wang Lei, who was in embarrassment just now, changed the subject after hearing this.
"Corpse crickets are afraid of fire." Lin Ran said.
"Well, it seems that my great-grandfather did mention this matter." Because they had never seen insects like corpse crickets before, she had forgotten this knowledge point long ago. She didn't expect that it was really found in the royal tombs. Encountered a zombie.
"Are there any combustibles?" Lin Ran asked directly. He had now accepted that Meng Xing was his descendant, so he was no longer polite when talking to her. How could anyone be so polite when talking to his descendants? .
Pretty much the other way around.
"It seems not..." Meng Xing lowered his head.
For some reason, she felt as if she was sorry for Lin Ran and didn't prepare anything.
Seeing Meng Xing facing Lin Ran with his head lowered and falling into self-blame, Wang Lei could not sit still.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Ran: "Do you want something to burn? I have some paper here, do you want it?"
"Yes!" Lin Ran said.
Wang Lei did bring a lot of paper, but it was all ordinary straw paper.
Lin Ran tried several times but was unable to light them all. He threw the lit toilet paper into the group of corpse crickets, and it was extinguished in an instant. Moreover, it could not be thrown into the group of corpse crickets like cardboard.
