Chapter 175 - Ancient Remains (IX)
Editors: Humu & Kitty
When Xing Yan opened his eyes, he saw student Abyss kissing him.
The child’s face was quite small, his lips were pink, his eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly. Seeing this, he felt that the tight string in his heart seed to have broken. So he reached out his hand and held the child tightly, exhaling a breath and biting the other party’s lips. His tongue rolled over, and he sucked hard.
Luo Jian’s lips were kissed numb by him, but Luo Jian couldn’t bear to pull away.
There was too little ti to be intimate together, too little.
Luo Jian suddenly rembered that he had not seen Xing Yan for nearly ten years. He was rational and silent for too long, and all the ups and downs in his heart were wiped out in the fighting. When he saw Xing Yan again, his heart was rippling again. But he was dood to be unable to act as when he was young and frivolous, always putting his best effort forth.
But these warm emotions still surfaced on the tip of Luo Jian’s heart.
He felt that he was like so kind of animal that was bitterly wallowing in marshes, and he had finally grasped the straw to save his life. He would seem too stupid if he let go of it again.
However, while the two were inseparable, their teammates who were struggling to resist the insect attacks were dissatisfied. John held up FFF inquisition’s torch...... Ah, no, John broke apart the two reminiscing lovers with several deafening gunshots. After that, Luo Jian reluctantly climbed down from Xing Yan, ignoring the blazing hot look in Xing Yan’s eyes.
The centipedes, who had once retreated to the water, climbed out of the water again. The numbers surged, and they rose from the surface of the water again. They floated and dipped down along with the waves, staring at the people of Team Ghost Shadow.
“We have to head back into the water again! This is the only way to get to the next floor!” Noen, who was on the front line, yelled while swapping positions with Luo Jian. So instead of Noen, Luo Jian stood at the frontline and began to burn the insects with his own flathrower as he aid towards the surface of the water.
The terrifying heat made even the water boil, and the monsters in the water were struggling to climb up. Wang Yue also followed behind Luo Jian. He never stopped moving. Taking advantage of his fast speed in assembling traps, he quickly crossed through the waters and the ground and set traps all around them. As long as those big centipedes climbed up, they would imdiately be burnt to ashes by the ignited flas.
Noen withdrew from the battlefield and took out several new sets of protective clothing from his space because Xing Yan and company did not have such protective clothing. In order to avoid them from being parasitized by insects in the water again, it would be better to wrap them in defensive clothing.
However, when Noen took his clothes and compared it to the figures of Luo Jian and Xing Yan, he frowned and said to Xing Yan and company: “Why are the bodies of you humans so different?”
John imdiately stepped forward to show his strong muscles and beautiful figure, “My figure is the golden ratio among human beings.”
After hearing this, Noen was stunned montarily. He turned his head and looked at Luo Jian and Wang Yue, who were still standing in front of the insect swarm. Their thin figures were jumping around in front of him. Then, Noen turned back to look at the tall n in front of him.
Noen scornfully despised: “You humans let your cubs go to war!?” Even the inhabitants of the Polaris, known as the cosmic fighting race, were not so cruel!
John, who was attacked by Noen’s scorn, imdiately jumped: “How do they look like cubs? Especially the one with the flathrower. He’s a monster, alright?!”
Noen was too lazy to argue with John. He put the protective clothing one by one into the hands of John and company to let them put it on. “It’s cold-proof and can keep you warm. It can also absorb attacks, and there’s also a diving assisted-breathing system....... By the way, even in a vacuum, it can provide an hour of oxygen supply. I hope you fragile humans don’t die so fast.”
These few people did not continue squandering ti. They quickly put the clothing onto their bodies carelessly. Their protective clothing had a mask and a helt attached to it, but they could be taken off when necessary. However, several people who put on protective clothing felt the sa feeling. It was as if the clothes on their bodies were alive. They would alter in accordance to their body shape to tightly wrap around their bodies and even rise and fall along with their breaths.
As the party prepared, Noen imdiately yelled, “Get ready to head out with !”
Hearing this, Luo Jian in the very front imdiately gestured to Wang Yue. Wang Yue had almost completely ignored his team leader and began to follow Luo Jian’s orders. After understanding what Luo Jian ant, he began to scatter traps on the ground as if he was scattering beans. Although his weapon was a crossbow, this bow had its skill points upped to the maximum points on setting traps. This was why Wang Yue could set traps everywhere happily every day.
After that, Noen began to lead the way. Luo Jian was at the rear while the rest of the people were sandwiched in the middle. They dived into the water one after another, eliminating or avoiding those serpentine centipedes in the water, and they set forth on a thrilling underwater escape journey.
The main output of Team Ghost Shadow in the past had beco the one requiring heavy protection, but Xing Yan did not seem to care at all now. He even turned back to see if the Luo Jian, who was at the rear, had followed. However, John was glum. He felt that his strength in this secret chamber had been weakened too much and he had beco the most useless one.
Every ti he thought about it, John felt so sad that he felt his heart twitch.
Maybe because he was too upset, he made a small mistake while diving.
In the deep water, there were not only a large number of insect eggs and huge centipedes floating around, but the waters were also covered with a milky-white colloidal substance which looked very disgusting. It would spread and sway left and right with the fluctuation of water flow.
No one wanted to touch this disgusting jelly-like thing, but when the brawny John swam, his movents were too huge. Therefore, his legs touched it slightly. To his surprise, he rely touched the strands and felt that his feet were imdiately bound by sothing.
John’s feet were entangled, and he could not swim. At that mont, he felt his heartbeat race faster. He lowered his head to look at his feet. Afterwards, he was surprised to find that the milky-white gelatinous substance that covered the waters seed to be a strange mucus secreted by insects. It was just like saring 502 glue on John’s feet!
John, who was accidentally stuck, imdiately disrupted the entire team’s journey, but the team could not stop moving because right behind was a huge swarm of insects. These long and large centipedes were sliding through the water like flat snakes, and they opened their mouths ferociously and rushed at the group of people in Team Ghost Shadow.
If they were on land, they would still be able to manage, but now they were in the water. The dense and cold water would cause many people’s skills to be unable to play a role. For example, Luo Jian’s flathrower could emit ultra-high temperature fla, but it was totally useless in the water.
So Luo Jian could only temporarily switch to using lee with a long knife.
Only alien Noen’s bazooka could withstand a blow from him.
In this situation where the insects tried to chase and overtake them, if the team stopped for even a mont, it would be enough for them to be threatened by mass destruction of the team. So Noen did not stop. He did not even turn his head backwards. Jiang Li, Wang Yue, and Xing Yan followed after him in an orderly manner. They did not turn back to look at John again even though he was a very important companion.
Of course, in fact, John did not ask for the help of his companions. Naturally, he understood what he needed to do and what his team needed to do at this critical mont. His captain had told them long ago that in the face of a crisis that would destroy the team, if you lagged behind, you should not expect any companions to return to save you because turning back was tantamount to death.
John had to co up with a way to save himself at this mont.
He imdiately took out his knife and tried to cut off the 502 glue that had trapped him but to no avail: the milky-white substance not only had terrible viscosity but also was very tough and elastic.
In fact, John could have taken off his shoes completely, but unfortunately, the milky-white disgusting mucus would still climb up onto his legs and stick to his protective clothing.
So, John had two choices: either to take off his shoes and protective clothing or to be stuck here until the insects gnawed him to bits. It was obvious which choice he would choose without much thinking.
But just as John was about to go all out to pluck his clothes out, Luo Jian, who had been at the rear, ca over. He took a look at John and swung his knife. With a wave of the long knife, the 502 glue on John’s feet disappeared.
John looked at Luo Jian gratefully, but Luo Jian was filled with impatience. He grabbed John’s clothes, and John only felt a strong force pulling him. He was thrown directly out of the water by Luo Jian, heading towards the direction of Noen and company.
In the waters, John felt that his body was out of control. When he adjusted his posture and looked in the direction of Luo Jian, he found that the few seconds that Luo Jian had delayed for him actually made him beco trapped in the swarm of insects.
The centipedes found Luo Jian, who was left alone. One by one they surrounded him. Luo Jian floated in the middle of the water, holding a long knife that was not in line with his body size. It looked like he would be swallowed by insects at any ti.
At this ti, the exit of the water channel had appeared in front of them, and the exit was close in front of them. As long as they worked hard for a few monts longer, they would be able to leave the dense and cold waters and leave those annoying centipedes that were wading at the bottom of the waters.
One after another, Team Ghost Shadow mbers climbed out of the waters. They crawled onto the bank and in an undersigned coincidence, they ntioned that Luo Jian was still trapped under water.
But now, it was unwise to go back to the waters to look for soone because everyone had already seen a large army of enemies sweeping across the waters.
Noen straightforwardly said: “Let’s not worry about him. Let’s go imdiately. There are more swarms charging to where we are. He’ll be able to follow us later.”
Wang Yue was dissatisfied with what Noen had said because he had developed trust in Luo Jian: “Although I know it’s easy to escape with his strength, it won’t take much ti for us to wait here for a while.”
Noen rebuked: “He can’t use a flathrower in the waters. He will need more ti. If we stay here, we’ll just be surrounded by insects and cause him more trouble.”
Jiang Li indicated that this issue should not be contested.
John hesitated for a mont. The other party had just saved his life, and now, within re monts, he would turn his head and abandon him. It would be immoral for John to not properly consider, so he turned to ask for Xing Yan’s advice.
Xing Yan was also hesitating. His reason told him that what Noen said was not wrong. He had seen the strength of the child; he did not think that Luo Jian couldn’t escape by himself. Moreover, if they stayed here and waited, there would be more insect swarms charging towards them to block the surface of the water. At that ti, it would be difficult for Luo Jian to get out of the water.
And if they continue to move forward, the swarms would easily pursue the bigger targets first, so Luo Jian would not be attacked again by those swarms, and his journey in escaping from these swarms would be much smoother.
But it was not known why that sentence inwardly sounded out again within Xing Yan. That person told Xing Yan not to leave soone, but who was this soone? Clearly, that person had only said it once but Xing Yan could not forget what that person said no matter what. This made Xing Yan feel as if he was possessed. As if he was trapped because he was shackled or trapped in so kind of loop. When he wanted to get rid of everything shackling him, he appeared quite helpless to do so.
“Let’s keep going.” Xing Yan began to regret the mont he said this sentence, but he knew that logically, he should have chosen that.
His choice should not be wrong.
But his heart seed to be coated with a layer of sand, and he seed to feel sothing terrifying...... compared to what they were facing now, compared to any dangers they had faced, or any enemies they faced. Sothing more terrifying than all that.
T/N: Happy New Year guys!! I hope you guys would have a great year ahead!
