Chapter 125 Goodbye Lantern Festival

I concentrated on listening carefully and found that in the direction we came just now, some rustling sounds came over. This sound was so familiar to us. The scene that was like a nightmare just now immediately appeared in front of me. I immediately guessed what it was and shouted, "Oh no! Those human-faced beetles are coming again!"

Yuanxiao's face changed drastically, "I know that several of us broke into their mouths by those big beetles!"

"Hurry! Let's leave immediately!" As we said that, we began to climb up the rope.

The Tang family’s hiking rope is very light and non-slip, and the grip feels particularly good when grasped in the hands. It is many times taller than our own ordinary nylon hiking rope.

Several other people, including Wen Mo, Zhou Chengru and Shi Tao, who had a shoulder injury, climbed up very easily, but I tried several times and ended in failure. My physical strength was already average, and coupled with the excessive consumption some time ago, my arms were completely different from mine and were not obedient at all.

I heard the sounds of the beetles on the human face getting closer and closer. Yuanxiao, who was anxious, scratched her head and kept holding me up, but I was helpless and failed again.

I waved my hand panting, "No, you go first, it's really not possible. You can pull me up together later!"

Yuanxiao also felt a little sweaty, "Okay! I have to do this first! Be careful yourself! I'll pull you up right away."

I nodded, so Yuanxiao grabbed the hiking rope and climbed up, and said while climbing: "People above should be careful and must cover the people below to come up!"

I was still standing at the bottom of the pit and felt extremely embarrassed at this moment. I once again became everyone's oil bottle. I looked up at the passage when I looked up, and several searchlights were closely watching this place.

At this time, Yuanxiao shouted on it: "Zhuoran, tie the rope and we will pull you up now." Obviously, Yuanxiao had also climbed up smoothly.

I was thick-skinned and tied the rope around my waist, then yelled, "Take it!" Soon, the rope tightened and I was slowly pulled up.

Just as I was halfway through, someone from above suddenly shouted, "Here's coming!" Then there was a burst of gunfire, and several guns shot at the entrance of the passage at the same time.

I turned around and looked there. The bullet hit the stone wall and sparked a series of sparks. The sound of nails scratching the wall came from that direction, causing me to get goosebumps. The beetles as big as washbasin were constantly hit by the bullets and fell into the big pit where we were.

This voice made my heart hang up. I was not sure whether the one who fell in was shot to death or some people who successfully broke through.

I was thinking, but I didn't notice when I pulled the rope upwards and stopped. Perhaps the people above were also attracted by the beetles and were distracted.

I was about to scream and remind them, but suddenly a black shadow pounced on the air. I subconsciously blocked my arms and suddenly felt that some hard object on my forearm seemed to be hooked hard. Then something fell into the darkness under me. I raised my flashlight and saw a big beetle lying on the ground with several furry steps still dancing. As the wings behind it opened, the whole body turned over again.

Obviously, the beetle was not prepared just now, and rushed to me and blocked it to the ground. I wonder if I would have such good luck next time, so I looked nervously at the beetle's wings protruding formation below, and flew into the air and disappeared into the darkness.

I subconsciously turned the flashlight to search for its traces, but I soon discovered that I had made an extremely sb mistake. As my flashlight swayed, several wandering beetles in the dark air seemed to have found their target and immediately rushed towards me.

I was shocked and turned off the flashlight immediately and shouted, "Hurry up! Pull it!"

After I called out this, the people above woke up, and the Lantern Festival curses immediately rang, "Damn! What are you doing? Who told you to stop! If my brother wants anything, I will throw you down and feed the insects!" Then I heard Shi Tao's voice, "I'll come too!" Soon, I pulled my rope and started moving again.

At this time, a searchlight light shot straight from above, and then Kong Xue's voice sounded, "Zhuoran, are you okay?"

I quickly raised my hand and signaled, "Switch the light off, or I will be a living target!" Before I finished speaking, another beetle rushed towards me. I immediately raised my gun and wanted to shoot, but the rope was shaking violently, and I could not aim at it at all, so I could only shoot one shot, which was indeed useless.

Seeing that the beetle was approaching, I quickly raised the dagger again. I guessed that as long as it couldn't bite me, I would stab it with one knife. Although it would be injured, at least it would have a chance to survive! Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard a gunshot above, and I could hear the sound of a pistol. A bullet flew over to my shoulder and hit the beetle.

Someone was shooting to save me. I raised the flashlight and shone it up, but found that the person who was aiming at me was Zhou Cheng. It turned out that he saved me! Seeing my flashlight shining, Zhou Cheng blocked his hand in front of me to avoid the strong light of the flashlight. I quickly turned off the flashlight and felt very surprised.

Then there were a few more gunshots, and the beetles flying around me were shot down. They should have been all done by Zhou Cheng, and the best shot of the people above should be him. I didn't expect that he would actually save me at the critical moment, which made me unable to understand the person's idea.

I was already pulled to the edge of the big pit. Yuanxiao and Wenmo reached out to pull me up. When Kong Xue saw me coming up, she immediately ran over, "How is it? Isn't you injured?"

I sat on the ground, took a few deep breaths, and waved my hand. Seeing that I was fine, Yuanxiao waved to other Tang family friends, "Everyone is ready to withdraw!"

Our group retreated into a passage one after another, and the beetles on the human faces behind were chasing each other. Yuanxiao turned to look at the countless black shadows in the searchlight, "Oh my god, why are this thing endless?"

I ran and said, "Nonsense! There are still five ancestors left in a total of them. Three of them were killed by us just now. It would be strange if they didn't fight to the death!"

"Ah!" Suddenly a scream came from the end of the team, and someone shouted, "Acheng was knocked down!"

Yuanxiao immediately stopped and said, "Hurry up, save people!" Then, he turned to us and said, "You guys go first! I'll go and see!"

I grabbed him, "It's so dangerous!"

Yuanxiao shook his head, "All my trusted friends, I can't ignore them!" After that, he led the people back. I looked at the air and the ground behind him, and gritted my teeth and ran back with Yuanxiao.

Yuanxiao turned around and saw that I followed me. She was surprised in her eyes and quickly smiled. She didn't say anything. She just shouted, "Come on, pat these bastards to death!" I remember when we were in school, Lanxiao would shout out before every group fight!

But we had just run halfway through, and the guys behind had all turned back. When they saw Lantern Festival coming, they grabbed him, "Don't go to the eldest master! Acheng is no longer saved, and he was torn in half!"

Yuanxiao was stunned for a moment. Seeing the beetle group behind him pounced on me again, I pulled him hard, "Go away!"

Yuanxiao came to his senses, nodded, then turned around and ran forward, everyone was fighting and retreating, but the beetles were still approaching, and soon another guy was caught in the swarm and bitten into pieces.

At this time, we heard Kong Xue’s shouting not far away from the front, “There are two stone doors, come here quickly!”

This news made us happy. As long as we hide in the stone gate, these insects will never be able to enter no matter what.

We accelerated our pace and rushed to the front. Wen Mo and Shi Tao were pushing one of the stone doors hard, but the stone door was very big, much larger than the two stone doors we just encountered. With the strength of Wen Mo and Shi Tao, they could not completely push them open.

The rest of the people immediately went to help, and in this way, the thick stone door was creaking and a gap was opened.

Wen Mo raised his flashlight and walked in first, with the others following him. Yuanxiao said to the guy next to him: "Give me a grenade!"

I was scared, "What do you want to do? Be careful to blow up the entire tomb!"

Yuanxiao waved his hand, "Don't worry, this kind of grenade is not that powerful!" Yuanxiao looked at the back and continued: "The group attack of this kind of beetle must be shaken to death or dizzy the beetles as the leading guide, so that after we hide in the stone gate, these beetles will lose the direction of their attack. Otherwise, they don't know how long they will be entangled!"

After everyone walked into the stone gate, Yuanxiao pulled the grenade and threw it out along the stone gate. Several of us quickly pushed the stone gate. With a loud bang, a strong impact force hit the stone gate. A large amount of dust drifted down, falling all over us.

However, this method worked. The sound of beetles outside became much smaller after the grenade exploded, and eventually disappeared gradually.

Everyone fell to the ground, everyone was gasping heavily, and no one wanted to speak. For a while, there was no movement around me. If I hadn't been able to hear the breathing of others, I even felt that I was the only one in this place.
