Chapter 286 Underground Passage
Zhou Wen and the others were all shocked when they heard this. Lu Yunxian quickly asked, "Lu Ning, please explain clearly. What exactly happened?"
Lu Ning recounted what had happened. They followed the marks left by Ouyang Lan to find the entrance to the underground passage, and An Sheng led his men into the underground passage.
As a result, not long after entering, the entrance of the passage was suddenly closed, and then a large amount of black liquid flowed out from the cracks in the surrounding rocks.
When they looked carefully, they found that it was not liquid at all, but a kind of hair-like insects. There were so many of them that they were like a tide. As long as the insects touched the body, they would drill into the body through the pores and soon make people unconscious.
If there are too many worms in the body, it will be fatal.
The passage could not be opened, and Ouyang Lan had to be rescued, so An Sheng had no choice but to order a retreat deep underground. They fled for a long time, finally got rid of the insect tide, and found a strange underground palace.
As a result, just as An Sheng gave the order to explore the palace, Jiuye and his men suddenly launched a sneak attack on An Sheng and Lu Ning. An Sheng was caught off guard and was knocked down the underground fault full of insect swarms. Although Lu Ning resisted for a few times, he was outnumbered and was also knocked down the fault.
Lu Ning only remembered that she fell into the insect swarm and then passed out. She thought she was dead, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Wen and the others.
Zhou Wen and Lu Yunxian frowned secretly when they heard this: "Don't you know that you came out lying on a strange car?"
"What car?" Lu Ning frowned.
Seeing that Lu Ning really didn't know, Zhou Wen and Lu Yunxian were both very confused. Judging from what Lu Ning said, it was naturally impossible that Jiu Ye and the others were so merciful as to rescue her and send her out. This matter was very strange.
"Lu Ning, if you can still hold on, can you draw a map for me of the places you have passed by and the things you have encountered?" Zhou Wen looked at Lu Ning and said.
"Sure, but we were on the run at the time, so I can only roughly remember the direction. I definitely can't remember the entire route, but I do remember some special landmarks." Lu Ning took a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down some scattered information for Zhou Wen.
"You should have a good rest. We will find a way to go in and rescue them." Zhou Wen took the information and prepared to go back to play games, following Lu Ning and the others' route first.
Lu Ning shook her head and said nothing. They only had so few people left, how could they possibly go in and rescue others? Moreover, An Sheng had already fallen into the sea of insects, and the possibility of his survival was slim.
However, Zhou Wen didn't believe that someone like An Sheng would die so easily. Moreover, the old principal might be in there too. He had to go in and take a look no matter what.
After returning to his tent, Zhou Wen turned on the mysterious phone, entered the Zhuolu copy, and came to the entrance of the underground passage.
There was no strange car in the game. Zhou Wen looked at the information written by Lu Ning, and then directly controlled the bloody man to enter the tunnel.
The tunnel was dark and damp, with moss growing on the stone steps and semi-artificially carved stone walls on both sides. It was obvious that this should have been an underground cave, but it had been slightly artificially processed.
Not long after entering the passage, I heard a bang and saw that the entrance to the passage was blocked by a stone door. The passage suddenly became dark.
This kind of darkness made Zhou Wen a little uncomfortable. Without the ability to listen carefully, his simple vision became very weak and he had no way to see in the dark.
Fortunately, Zhou Wen still had the Dark Doctor. He let the Dark Doctor attach himself to him and turned on the light of perspective. Zhou Wen's eyes suddenly emitted light, and he could see clearly within ten meters.
After seeing this, Zhou Wen also felt a little scalp tingling. He saw many cracks on the stone wall. Countless hair-like strange insects were pouring out of those cracks. Just as Lu Ning said, they looked like black liquid.
Zhou Wen summoned a palm-leaf fan and waved it at the strange hair-like insects around him. Wherever the wind passed, the insects were blown away, crashed into the mountain wall, and turned into broken ice and died.
"Kill the legendary creature blood filarial worms... Kill the legendary creature blood filarial worms... Kill the legendary creature blood filarial worms..." With this, the system's prompts directly flashed on the screen.
"Only legendary level?" Zhou Wen was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that this kind of strange insects were only legendary level. However, they could actually drill into the bodies of epic level strong men and even make them unconscious. This was quite powerful.
"It seems that level suppression is not absolute. The ability of this kind of blood filarial worms is quite special, and there are so many of them. No wonder even epic-level strongmen have to retreat." Zhou Wen saw the blood filarial worms surging up like a tide, and he no longer wasted his energy and rushed towards the depths of the underground passage.
Lu Ning slept for more than ten hours and used some vitality crystals. When she woke up again, she looked much better.
"Lu Ning, if I let you enter the underground passage again, would you still dare to go?" Lu Yunxian saw Lu Ning sitting down, and suddenly looked at Lu Ning and asked.
"Adjutant An is already dead, so what's the point of us going in again?" Lu Ning sighed. "And now that I think about it, we've been running for our lives since we entered the tunnel. I didn't realize it at the time, but now that I think about it, it seems like we've been led away by Jiuye and the others. Jiuye and the others already know about the underground world. They didn't come here to save Madam Lan, they must have had a premeditated plan."
"No matter what their plan is, I don't believe Adjutant An will die so easily. Besides, there is Young Master Wen. He will definitely go in to support Adjutant An. However, we don't know much about the situation inside. If possible, I hope you can go into the underground passage with us again." Lu Yunxian looked at Lu Ning and said. There are some things that Zhou Wen can choose not to do, but he must make plans early.
"Young Master Wen? Are you talking about Zhou Wen? I know he has great potential, but he is only at the legendary level after all. In such a terrifying place, even you and I can't protect ourselves, so what can he do?" Lu Ning said.
Lu Yunxian didn't say much, just looked at Lu Ning and asked, "Then are you willing to go into the underground passage again? Just for Adjutant An."
Lu Ning opened her mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly she heard a clanging sound coming from the ruins, one after another, like the sound of a bell ringing, but it was not like the sound of metal colliding, but more like the sound of stone colliding with stone.
Zhou Wen also heard the sound, and he immediately thought of the strange car. Moreover, judging from the direction the sound came from, it seemed to be the location of the entrance to the underground passage.
