Chapter 2493: Bitten by the carrion insect
A tacit understanding has been formed between them. As soon as they finished speaking, Wang Jinpeng kicked Shimen.
The stone door opened, and what appeared in front of them was a downward staircase.
Everyone ran into the passage regardless of everything.
The number of carrion insects behind was increasing, running towards the stone gate.
The stone door was kicked open. Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning waited until the last person entered the passage and then closed the door.
However, it was discovered that the door could no longer be fixed, and it could only temporarily delay the advancement of the corpse insects.
"Come on! Leave them alone."
Recalling the insect tide they saw just now, everyone felt terrified.
There are countless carrion worms crawling out of the holes. It is like a monster spawning point, and there will always be carrion worms crawling out.
But they didn't run a few steps when they heard the sound of the stone gate falling behind.
Accompanied by the sound of the crawling corpse insects in close order.
They need to run down the steps and use the light of a flashlight.
The carrion insects only need to rely on their instincts and survive in ancient tombs for a long time, and it won't take long to catch up with them.
Guan Yun, who was running at the back of the team, frowned. It seemed that someone needed to sacrifice here to delay time.
He also made a decision in his heart.
Everyone else was running forward quickly. Only Wang Jinpeng, who was running second to last, noticed that Guan Yun deliberately slowed down his pace.
He shouted: "Brother Guan, what are you doing? Walking so slowly."
"We can't run away like this." Guan Yun said, "You go first, I will think of a way."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Jinpeng couldn't help but said, grabbing his arm and pulling him down.
After hearing Guan Yun's words, the others also paused slightly.
"Let's run around and see if it doesn't work, then we'll fight these guys." Huang Hao, the timidest one, spoke up.
Guan Yun was also a little embarrassed and expressed his worries.
Indeed, according to their current escape speed, it won't take long for them to be caught up, and the consequences can be imagined.
We must find a way to deal with the carrion bugs behind.
Lin Ran knew their weaknesses, but it was a bit dangerous to use them in ancient tombs.
"Everyone, do you still have torches in your backpack?" Lin Ran asked.
Before entering the ancient tomb, they prepared a large number of torches, but some people's backpacks got wet while passing the river, so the torches naturally became unusable.
When Lin Ran said this, everyone knew that he must have something in mind.
So they all stopped and rummaged through their backpacks.
After a while, more than 20 torches were gathered.
Under Lin Ran's order, all the torches were lit and then thrown towards the swarm of carrion insects.
Except for Lin Ran, everyone actually had no idea.
Especially when they looked at the dense swarm of carrion insects on the steps, they almost had an attack of trypophobia.
And just over ten meters away, it can be seen that they are already ready to attack.
But after the torch was thrown.
The wight swarm stopped in front of the torch.
Wang Jinpeng was extremely pleasantly surprised. As Lin Ran had guessed, these bugs were afraid of fire.
Twenty torches formed a natural wall of fire in the middle of the steps. The carrion insects did not dare to approach, giving them time to escape.
"Let's go!" Lin Ran was not in the mood for flattery now, so he shouted to remind everyone to leave quickly.
A torch placed on the ground won't last long. If they catch up again, they may burn their clothes.
After Wang Jinpeng learned that it was safe behind him, he took the initiative to run to the front.
His job was to ensure the safety of the team. It was difficult for Lin Ran to stop such a bold behavior like his. He could only hope that he was lucky and would not encounter the agency.
At the critical juncture, everyone moved faster. No one wanted to become a meal for the carrion worms.
Lin Ran was a little distressed because it seemed that after entering the ancient tomb, they had been being hunted and had no time to explore the truth of the ancient tomb.
Was the one just now really the main tomb?Lin Ran also felt a little unsure.
Finally I reached the bottom of the steps.
However, what was waiting for them was not an area where they could rest. A three-way intersection appeared in front of them.
Just like an ordinary cave, the three forks are separated by stones.
Everyone stopped. Their legs felt a little sore from running just now. They each found a place to sit down and massage their calves.
Guan Yun held the gun and looked behind him warily. The torch did buy them a lot of time. At least for the time being, they could no longer hear the crawling sounds of the corpse insects.
Now they were waiting for Lin Ran to find the correct entrance. This was not a safe area and they could only stay temporarily to rest, not for a long time.
Wang Jinpeng lifted up his pants and found that there was a carrion insect on his calf. He didn't know when it crawled on him.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Huang Hao grabbed the carrion insect, threw it to the ground, and crushed it with his feet.
The insect juice splashed instantly.
Bitten by the carrion insect, Wang Jinpeng's face turned pale.
A Ming, the team doctor, was not there. He didn't know whether the carrion bugs contained toxins, so he could only look at Lin Ran for help.
Lin Ran was looking for a way out, but when he saw the team fell into temporary chaos, he also set his sights on Wang Jinpeng.
After checking his calf, there was a neat wound on it, which was caused by an insect's teeth.
The wound was constantly bleeding black blood.
It must be dealt with quickly now.
"Which of you brought pure water?" Lin Ran asked.
Without saying anything, Guan Yun took out a bottle of mineral water and threw it to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran picked up the mineral water and poured it on his wound. The pain made Wang Jinpeng grimace.
A tough guy like him grinned, showing how painful it was when water touched the wound.
"Be patient." Lin Ran said, and then he asked Guan Yun for a bullet.
"Why do you want this?" Although Guan Yun was confused, he still handed the bullet to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran pulled out the warhead, poured the gunpowder inside onto the gauze, and lit it with a lighter.
Before the fire was extinguished, it was directly on Wang Jinpeng's leg.
The pain just now was just a prelude, and now he felt what it meant to be unforgettable.
"Ah!" Wang Jinpeng shouted.
But then he remembered that he was not out of danger yet, so he put his arm into his mouth and bit his arm hard, which could relieve him some pain.
"That's almost it. Everyone, check yourselves to see if there are any corpse insects?" Lin Ran said with lingering fear.
This kind of bug living in ancient tombs carries countless bacteria and viruses with it.
