Because Lin Wu was surrounded as soon as he entered the blood group. Although there were many people attacking them, there were more blood people rushing in front, so Lin Wu still faced more. Every time they looked at him, they had the illusion that Lin Wu would be swallowed by the blood people in the next moment.
But in fact, Lin Wu is very stable.
She did not directly conflict with the blood men, nor did she fight with them too much. She basically just beat them back and cleared a path to move forward.
If the blood men rushing over blocked the road, she would walk on it - using the force of kicking the blood men away to jump up, pull out the dagger and forcefully stab it into the stone wall above, then swing forward and fly over. If there were blood men blocking the way when she landed, she would just step on them and rush forward, leaving their shoulders before they could reach her.
Perhaps it was because he was controlled by the insect that the blood man was a little slow in reacting to the situation.
Lin Wu left, and they did not chase Lin Wu immediately. Instead, they aimed at Ren Ke and Guan Chen who were in front of them and within their sight.
In just a few moments, the pressure faced by the two people increased suddenly.
“Fuck?”
Ren Ke noticed something was wrong and cursed, "Lin Wu, did you do this on purpose? You ran pretty fast!"
"You're slow, don't blame me!"
Lin Wu in front had already landed on the ground. She pulled off her backpack and used it as a weapon to push back the bloody man approaching her to create some distance, then moved forward little by little.
Ren Ke didn't have time to say anything else and tried to catch up with him.
If Lin Wu went into the cave alone, she wouldn't be able to deal with the bloody man and find the mechanism at the same time.
"Hey, do you think the insects are afraid of fire?" Ren Ke suddenly asked.
Guan Chen looked at her, his eyes fell on the only crowbar in her hand, and instantly understood what she meant.
He said, "Maybe? But I'm out of alcohol. I used it up when I was out there."
Ren Ke gritted his teeth and said, "I have it! There's still some left, it should be enough."
Guan Chen rarely responded to her. He held the gun in one hand and took the dagger thrown by Ren Ke with the other hand, making room for Ren Ke.
Ren Ke quickly opened the bag, took out the first aid kit, wrapped the gauze around the crowbar, poured the only half bottle of alcohol on it, and searched inside the bag.
"Lighter, lighter!" she shouted.
Guan Chen kicked away a bloody man who was approaching, felt in his pocket, took it out and threw it to her.
Ren Ke reacted quickly and dodged the bloody man approaching her. She put on her bag, lit it with a lighter, and said, "Fuck, watch out, I was almost ripped out of my heart by the black tiger just now!"
"Then you are alright?"
Guan Chen replied indifferently, keeping an eye on Ren Ke's situation, just in case anything might be fatal to her.
Ren Ke quickly lit it, grasped one end of the crowbar, and waved the fire towards the bloody man approaching her.
Several bloody people paused.
"It works!" Ren Ke's eyes lit up.
The next moment, the bloody man pounced on him without hesitation! Ren Ke dodged and followed Guan Chen forward.
Those bloody men were only frightened for a short moment, probably because they were sure they were harmless, and quickly pounced on us to continue our attack. It was no longer effective to intimidate them with torches.
"Why aren't they afraid?" Ren Ke used the space where they were stagnant to kick them away, pulled Guan Chen and rushed forward. This increased their speed, and they began to get closer to Guan Chen.
Guan Chen was puzzled: "Why do you think I know?"
Ren Ke: “…”
Ren Ke called out to Lin Wu: "Why aren't they afraid of fire? I want to burn them, but they are too dry to light!"
Lin Wu heard: “…”
Lin Wu looked around for a good opportunity to escape, and replied speechlessly: "They were awakened by the rising temperature and melted. Why do you think they are afraid of fire?"
"…" Ren Ke said: "Do you have any more alcohol? Give it to me, I want to pour it all over them and burn them. I don't believe they can't be burned to death!"
Lin Wu was speechless again: "I only have half a bottle, how many do you want to burn to death? You can't even burn one of their arms."
He caught a glimpse of a groove above the edge of the cave in front of him. Lin Wu suddenly had an idea and turned around and shouted, "Guan Chen, give me the Flying Tiger Claw!"
Guan Chen didn't ask why. He took off the bag, unzipped it, and took it out while beating Lin Wu, then threw it to Lin Wu.
Lin Wu seized the opportunity, stepped on the bloody man as a stepping stone and jumped up to catch it. He twisted his waist in mid-air, quickly untied the Flying Tiger Claw and threw it out.
This caused her to lose her support and fall downwards.
The bloody people below scrambled to reach her.
"Lin Wu!" Ren Ke and Guan Chen's pupils shrank.
At the critical moment, fortunately, the iron claw hooked the edge of the cave entrance. Lin Wu pulled hard, and his body flew out like an arrow, and did not fall into the bloody man's hands.
In just a few seconds, Lin Wu reached the cave entrance. She quickly climbed up the rock wall, kicked away a few bloody people who tried to reach her, and looked forward.
What she had seen before was indeed correct. The stone wall above the terracotta warrior was hung with a mechanism unknown to humans. It was just covered with a layer of something, which also stuck to the rope hanging the terracotta warrior.
It must have been a long time, and that layer had become brittle, so when the terracotta warrior fell, the rope was stretched and that layer was scraped off, revealing the original appearance!
Lin Wu held on to the rock wall with one hand and grabbed the Flying Tiger Claw with the other. She quickly found a suitable place to throw it and accurately hooked it on a protruding, horizontally long rock. She stretched the rope and flew up diagonally, clinging to the uneven rock layer.
It's very high here, and Lin Wu doesn't have to worry about the bloody man at all. He just needs to concentrate on finding out what the mechanism is and then go back.
She bit the flashlight, looked around, and found a relatively smooth way to climb over.
Here, Lin Wu's entire body was suspended in the air.
Apart from relying on the power of the Flying Tiger Claw, he supported his body purely by relying on his arm strength.
Fortunately, Lin Wu had experienced this kind of thing a lot in the past, so he was familiar with it and approached the mechanism in the middle without any danger.
Tilting his head, he saw that there was a whole square surface carved in it, with a protruding three-layer circular lock body inside, different runes and words engraved on the edges, and a keyhole in the middle.
Lin Wu tried to get closer and finally saw it clearly.
The lock body should be rotatable, with each layer in a different position, but with a small piece that can intersect.
Lin Wu supported herself with only one hand, and reached out with the other hand. She tried to turn the three locks first, but only the bottom one could turn, the middle one was a little loose, and the top one was fixed tightly.
Did he have to solve the problem layer by layer, solving the lower layer before the upper layer could be solved? Did he have to turn the correct scale to the intersection inside the keyhole? Lin Wu pondered for a moment.
The runes that lock the body are too strange. They don’t look like the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches or the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
But she seemed to have seen it somewhere.
Where is it...
Lin Wu caught a glimpse of the bloody man below and suddenly came to mind. There were several runes on it, which was the totem of the ancient Yao village!
