Chapter 2514: Recovery
Chapter 2514: Recovery
Xu Ning started to remove his armor, but it took a lot of effort.
Lin Ran took advantage of Xu Ning's removal of armor and took another look at the silk book.
Judging from the silk book, although the font can be roughly recognized, there are still some words that are not in Lin Ran's memory bank, so if he wants to study them thoroughly, he has to go to the library.
The moment Xu Ning took off his armor, a loud noise suddenly came from the coffin.
Everyone looked inside the coffin and saw the headless armor suddenly moving.
"This..." Xu Ning was still holding the connector of the armor in his hand, but he saw that the body that was lying motionless suddenly started to move.
At the same time, he raised his left hand and hit Xu Ning directly on the face.
Fortunately, Xu Ning reacted quickly to the sudden blows and blocked them with his hands crossed in front of his chest. Otherwise, if the blow had hit his cheek just now, his head might have been knocked off his head.
Xu Ning was knocked out, and the armor that had been dragged almost fell to the ground.
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of anything but supernatural phenomena.
The corpse is alive!
Guan Yun was the first to react and pointed his gun at the mummified corpse.
The headless corpse actually began to twist and crawl toward them stiffly, like a scene from a neon horror movie.
What's even more terrifying is that along with the corpse crawling, a group of corpse crickets crawled out from under the tree.
The carrion insects originally fed on carrion, but they ignored the corpse in front of them and crawled towards Lin Ran and others quickly.
"bang bang"
Two shots were fired, hitting the corpse, but the corpse only twisted its body and the bullets fell off its body.
Such a withered body could actually withstand bullets, which made Guan Yun feel a little scared.
He fired twice more, only to realize that his magazine was empty.
Guan Yun hurriedly prepared to change the magazine and took a look inside the tree hole.
At some point, a corridor-shaped staircase appeared inside.
"Hurry into the trees!" Lin Ran shouted to the team members who were still in a daze.
Due to the sudden resurrection of the corpse and the appearance of a large number of carrion insects, the team members began to run towards the altar. Although the altar was not high, it seemed that the carrion insects did not dare to go up.
But when they were halfway there, they all turned around after hearing Lin Ran's words.
Seeing that they heard what he said, Lin Ran ran into the tree hole first and started running up the corridor.
After a moment of hesitation, the others began to run into the tree hole with Lin Ran.
This tree is so huge that it is not an exaggeration to call it a tree tower.
What is more puzzling is that there is a corridor formed by the protrusions of the tree inside the tree, which is very strong when stepped on.
Lin Ran took the lead and ran at the front of the team. Wang Jinpeng was seriously injured and ran slower. Now he was running up with Xu Ning's support.
But as they ran, they would look down and see that although the corpse was not moving very fast, it was squirming and approaching them. It was very scary.
In addition, the carrion worms are much faster. From a visual point of view, it looks like an aircraft carrier is approaching them with a group of small aircraft.
"Xu Ning, please leave me alone and I'll crawl slowly!" Wang Jinpeng glanced behind him. If Xu Ning continued to lead him, he would be overtaken in less than a minute. With so many carrion insects, he could Instantly turning them into bones.
"No, let's go together." Xu Ning said firmly, and then put Wang Jinpeng on his neck.
But at this moment, his feet suddenly became loose, and his whole body swayed in the air, almost falling back. At the critical moment, Guan Yun reached out and grabbed Xu Ning's collar, letting him and Wang Jinpeng maintained a balance.
Guan Yun pulled Xu Ning back to his normal position.
"Thank you."
Because the steps were so narrow, they couldn't change positions while running.
Guan Yun could only take out his pistol and fired two shots behind them, saying: "Let's go! Hold on!"
Wang Jinpeng said slightly apologetically: "Xu Ning, we seem to be overweight."
After all, the wood protruding directly from the wall is used as a step, and its sturdiness is questionable.
Xu Ning gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't hold on if he continued like this. He pushed Wang Jinpeng forward and said, "Jinpeng, I know you are in pain, but there is no better way now. Just hold on!"
After saying that, he pushed Wang Jinpeng forward from behind.
As long as they don't step on the same step at the same time, the step will not sink.
Wang Jinpeng originally wanted to refuse, but he is now in front of Xu Ning. If he delays, Xu Ning behind him will definitely not survive, so he can only grit his teeth and bear the pain and move forward.
But after the delay just now, the nearest carrion insect was almost at their heels.
Once they are entangled by this bug, it may be difficult for them to move forward.
At this moment, a burning stick was suddenly thrown from the front of the team.
It turned out that Lin Ran broke down the broken step at the front, lit it and threw it to Xu Ning.
"Xu Ning, take this."
"Okay!" Xu Ning caught the simple torch in the air and waved it behind him, which indeed scared away the nearest carrion insect.
This creature is particularly afraid of the heat of fire.
But this is not a real torch after all. If it were not shaking like this, it would almost go out.
Fortunately, he stabilized the stick and the flames started again.
"Xu Ning, light it down below." Lin Ran said.
He dug out a bottle of alcohol from his pocket and discovered it when he lit the stick just now. It was dry.
Xu Ning took the alcohol, sprinkled it directly on the steps behind, and then threw the wooden stick over.
The alcohol burned quickly after encountering the flames, igniting the steps below.
The carrion bugs that hit the flames expanded instantly, and then exploded like firecrackers with some liquid splashing out.
Unexpectedly, these liquids can be ignited!
In an instant, the flames that were originally just burning slowly began to become extremely raging.
Everyone got some time to breathe and looked under the tree.
The liquid ejected from the detonated carrion worms fell down like an incendiary bomb and fell on the carrion worms behind, triggering a series of explosions.
This scene looks really shocking.
Just when they thought they could take a breather, Lin Ran frowned and shouted, "Stop delaying and leave quickly!"
This ancient tree is flammable. If the lower part is ignited, it won't take long for the flames to spread to the upper part!
Their current situation is very dangerous.
Lin Ran also made some miscalculations. He didn't expect the carrion insects to be flammable!
