(Two in one) “It’s up there.”
…
Under the drone camera, it was seen that the mountain of corpses rising around them seemed to be awakening, shaking from left to right, as if they were about to emerge from the body the next second.
Ke Ji swept the torch behind him and saw the same thing behind him.
However, even if there were living creatures in these “meat mountains”, they could not match the tiny sounds they heard in their ears.
Lu Liran frowned, he shook off the worm corpse on the tip of the sword, and cast his gaze into the darkness further away.
Those sounds…
He seemed to be thinking about something, and made a decision quickly. With a sharp look, he took out a piece of intestine that had been used with only a little oil left in the bag, and sprinkled the oil on the left and right mountains of corpses.
Jiang Kun didn’t understand why Lu Liran did this. He felt sorry for the layer of oil that Lu Liran had sprinkled on the mountain of corpses. Now he knew that oils were good stuff, making their torches brighter by more than one level and extending the burning time of their torches.
Now they are dumped on these mountains of corpses that cannot be burned at all.
Lu Liran took a torch and put some oil on it, and the piles of corpses on the left and right instantly caught fire.
Jiang Kun took a look and realized that even if it could burn, it would only burn a layer of oil on the surface and it would be extinguished soon.
The outermost surface of the corpse mountain is covered with some moist mud and moss. It is damp and dark here. This type of moss is the easiest to multiply and grow, and it is not easy to ignite because it is moist, so Lu Liran sprinkled a little oil on it to let it burn first.
After the top layer of mud and moss was burned away, the mountain of corpses underneath was filled with accumulations of carrion and fat. Without any effort from Lu Liran, the fire naturally burned more and more intensely. The fire was much brighter than the torch and illuminated further.

And seeing this clearly made people’s scalp numb immediately. It would be better not to know!
On the red, yellow, green and brown stone walls, it was unknown when, a dense number of creatures like arthropods and house centipedes. Most of them are about the length of an arm and about the thickness of three fingers. There are also some that are extraordinarily large, coiled higher up, about one or two meters long and about the thickness of a forearm.
The carapace of those long creatures is like metal, glowing with golden-green and golden-red luster, while the legs on the left and right sides are brightly colored ring patterns, which makes people’s skin crawl.
As if they were not used to the sudden light, the insects dispersed like a swarm, and their long legs quickly rubbed against the stonewall of the cave. The sound was a thin rustling, no different from what they heard before!
In other words, the sound was far louder and more uniform than the ones heard before, as if the entire stone wall was resonating!
Jiang Kun raised his head and his eyes widened in shock. He looked at the insects on the entire stone wall and couldn’t close his mouth. He subconsciously took two steps back and stepped into a mountain of unburned corpses.
Jiang Kun looked down and hurriedly pulled out his feet. Before he could utter a word, he saw a swelling bulging out of the mountain of corpses at an alarming speed.
Jiang Kun quickly pulled out the machete. As soon as he pulled it out, he saw that the bulge was broken open, and a flesh insect that looked similar to before jumped out and jumped straight in front of his face!
“Holy shit!” Jiang Kun was startled. If he hadn’t been able to resist quickly, wouldn’t he have had to kiss the insect’s mouthparts intimately?!
He held his breath, and the veins on his arms swelled. Unexpectedly, the strength of this flesh bug was not small at all. It pressed on his weapon, making him unable to use his other hand to change the weapon.
What’s even weirder is the mouthpart. It actually retracts completely into the head, as if it’s chewing and preparing something, and he watched as the circle of fleshy bulge of its head puffing out in front of his eyes.
Jiang Kun had a bad intuition. He ducked his head, pressed his body and used skill to throw the worm out. At the same time, he yelled to remind others: “Be careful of the meat bug!”
Luo Qi reacted quickly and noticed when Jiang Kun cursed for the first time. Seeing the worm being thrown in the air, he immediately pulled out his self-defense stun gun and shot the flesh worm with an electric needle.
The worm plummeted into the burning mountain of corpses, and with a roar of flames, the fleshy worm was swallowed up unceremoniously.
“It’s a spring-tailed worm.” Nan Guo was still observing the first worm corpse that Lu Liran threw away with great interest. Hearing what Jiang Kun said about “meat bug”, he couldn’t help but correct him.
This kind of bug usually burrows in the rotten soil and lives on the nutrients and rot in the soil. It cannot grow very big. At most, it can be as long as a finger or three or four centimeters.
But obviously, this understanding does not fit here.
Nan Guo studied the worm corpse with some interest. The mouthparts of the spring-tailed worm can be retracted, and it can chewed, which is quite strange. Now that it was dead, it was just a piece of soft meat. Nan Guo inserted a branch into its mouthparts and opened the mouthparts, only to see that there were bulging carrions inside.
The piles of carrion ignited around them raised the temperature in the cave a lot. The worms that were originally hiding in the meat mountain and feasting on it could no longer hold back the heat and were eager to get out of it.
There were also long-legged insects scurrying on the stone wall, but it was unknown where they went. In just a blink of an eye, the insects that originally covered the entire stone wall disappeared.
Lu Liran’s eyes darkened, and he didn’t say much. He just urged the group to leave here quickly.
As he moved forward, he lit fires on the piles of meat mountains on both sides, burning the entire cave brightly.
These creatures, which live underground all year round, will be instinctively afraid of light for a while, but when the fire goes out, they will crawl back and surround them.
They must leave as soon as possible before this happens.
The fire forced the giant spring-tailed worm out, and some of them were nailed to death by Lu Liran in the mountain of flesh before they had time to move.
Ah Kang and Luo Qi watched Lu Liran’s actions in fear, and unconsciously substituted themselves in their hearts, neither of them feeling that they could have noticed and solved it so quickly.
The two of them only had stun guns equipped for search and rescue, each equipped with twenty electric needles, so that they could share the firepower.
It’s just that more and more spring-tailed worms are emerging from the sides, and their jumping ability is quite amazing. After all, it makes people tired to deal with it, and they will be attacked unexpectedly.
The mouthparts don’t look like fangs, they are a bit blunt, and if it takes a bite, you won’t lose a piece of flesh directly, but the nausea in your heart is a real mental attack.
It didn’t take long before someone in the team couldn’t stand it anymore.
It was unknown if it’s because of the blower on the sole of his shoe, but even after being cleaned, Ah Kang is still the favorite target of these spring-tailed worms.
Compared to the occasional cold sneak attack of the others, Ah Kang’s end was always constant, even occasionally encountering the dangerous situation of two or three pouncing at the same time.
Even with Lu Liran’s care and help, Ah Kang still murmured in a broken voice, why couldn’t all these things be burned on fire?
Lu Liran was also silent. Although these worms could not fly, their jumping ability was amazing. The metal texture of their carapace prevented them from being burned to death quickly even if they were in a fire.
So as long as their ability to move is not cut off and then thrown into the fire, those worms will always have a way to escape on their own.
“Isn’t it better without all this carrion? Why are they always staring at me?” Ah Kang was desperate. While he was distracted while talking, another metallic black spring-tailed worm pounced on behind him. The worm’s body was plump, as if it was swollen with bodily fluids. At first glance it looked like it was carrying a golden-green backpack
Ah Kang screamed and hurriedly threw it away. but he didn’t expect to throw it directly onto Nan Guo’s head with such force.
Nan Guo was stunned for a moment, and felt something was pressing hard on the top of his head.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw the spring-tailed worm’s retractable mouthparts pointed at him, and then all the minced meat and rotten meat chewed in the mouthparts were sprayed in his face.
“Ugh——” It was the thrown pop-tail worm that vomited.
Nope. Nope. Nope. No
The mental images of just bugs creeps me out but the last part made me laugh😂 nan guo totally deserves that bug being thrown on him👍🏻
So glad I waited until I finished eating my lunch to read that.
Thank you for the chapters
