PDLP Chapter 89 Giant Centipede
Chapter 89 Giant Centipede
"The so-called Eastern Xia Kingdom was actually a small country established by a Jurchen general of the Jin Dynasty."
This Jurchen woman was named Puxian Wannu. Her initial state was called Dazhen, later changed to Dongxia.
At this point, Cheng Feng paused and raised his hand to stop the two women.
The people behind them also stopped in their tracks, and for a moment only the faintest breathing could be heard in the passage.
Cheng Feng slowly withdrew his hand and put a finger to his lips to signal everyone to be quiet.
Then he took a step forward, moving silently forward like a cat.
After passing a protruding rock wall, a huge, blood-red figure appeared in Cheng Feng's eyes.
This is a giant centipede that is over ten meters long and as thick as a water vat.
Its entire body was dark red, and its sides were covered with densely packed legs and feet.
In front of its mouth are a pair of sharp upper jaws; if they were to clamp onto a person, they would surely leave two bloody holes, one in front and one behind.
His body was robust, and his muscles contracted and expanded with each breath, giving him a powerful appearance.
It was lying in the passageway, blocking everyone's way.
Although this organism has mutated, it still retains some of the instincts of a living organism.
That is, they become very sleepy when the weather is cold.
If it isn't woken up by any loud noise...
Unless they're starving, they won't move around much, since it takes a lot of physical exertion.
Cheng Feng looked at the Nepalese sword in his hand and couldn't help but miss the Zhanlu sword.
This kind of short-bladed weapon is really a disadvantage against such a big guy.
But with his path blocked, Cheng Feng had no choice but to find a way to deal with the giant centipede.
"Kill it, then take it home and keep it as a keepsake. It's rare to see such a big centipede. Making it into a specimen would be really impressive!"
Thinking this, Cheng Feng rushed towards the giant centipede like an arrow released from a bow.
In an instant, he stabbed the centipede three times in the head with a Nepalese knife.
The giant centipede was awakened by the excruciating pain, raised its head and opened its huge mouth as if to roar silently.
Then, like a train in a tunnel, it sped towards Cheng Feng.
Hearing the commotion, the people behind Cheng Feng quickly followed and opened fire upon discovering the enormous centipede.
Bullets rained down on the centipede's head, instantly turning half of its head into mush.
But even a centipede doesn't die easily; even without half a head, the centipede's charging momentum remains undiminished.
With a head-on collision about to occur, Cheng Feng had nowhere left to retreat.
He immediately gathered all his strength, let out a roar, and launched an attack on the enormous creature in front of him.
The two collided instantly, producing a dull thud.
The other half of the giant centipede's head was smashed to pieces by Cheng Feng's knife.
Cheng Feng was also knocked back by the giant centipede, and Chen Wenjin flew forward without hesitation.
She caught Cheng Feng in mid-air, and the two fell from the sky, tumbling together four or five times before crashing into the stone wall with a bang.
Fortunately, it was Cheng Feng's back that was bumped; he was completely unharmed and picked up Chen Wenjin.
Looking him up and down with a worried expression: "You were too impulsive. Don't you know me?"
"I'm thick-skinned and can take a bump without any problems. Let me see if you're hurt anywhere."
Chen Wenjin was held in Cheng Feng's arms. After calming down for a while, she said shyly, "I'm fine, let me go first!"
After hearing this, Cheng Feng put Chen Wenjin's feet on the ground and only let go completely after seeing that she was really alright.
Then his gaze fell upon the giant centipede.
After being struck by the wind, the giant centipede was beyond dead, with only nerve reflexes causing it to twitch incessantly.
"Cheng Feng, Sister Wen Jin, are you alright?"
Huo Ling pulled Chen Wenjin along, first looking at Cheng Feng and then sizing up Chen Wenjin.
"Don't worry, Xiaoling, I'm fine. I just had a slight stitch."
As Chen Wenjin spoke, he pressed his left side of his abdomen. The blow Cheng Feng had given him in mid-air was quite severe.
Cheng Feng activated his Ghost Eye and slowly tossed the giant creature into the imaginary space, placing it next to the Azure Scale Python to keep it company.
"Alright, everyone, let's continue on our way. We'll get a good rest once we reach the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds."
Having dealt with the large centipede, the rest of the journey went smoothly without any further trouble.
After everyone had walked through the passage, the magnificent and majestic Yunting Heavenly Palace came into view.
Cheng Feng and his group stood on the high platform, with the main road leading to the main hall of the Cloud Palace below.
This avenue is so wide it inspires awe, with dozens of massive stone pillars, some hundreds of meters high, standing on either side.
Like giants lined up on both sides, their solemn and majestic aura was overwhelming.
"It's really magnificent. Compared to this, the Insect Valley in Yunnan seems rather small-scale."
Huo Ling couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Wenjin gazed intently at the darkness in the distance and nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, the architecture here is a masterpiece of nature."
After everyone had admired it for a while, Cheng Feng wrinkled his nose. He was sensitive to the scent of plants and smelled something unpleasant.
This also reminded Cheng Feng that Wang Zanghai had seemingly set a trap here.
The trap was useless against him, but for ordinary people, as many as they came, they would all die.
Thinking it over, Cheng Feng wiped the knife and reopened the scabbed wound on his finger.
"Come here, everyone, I'll add another layer of protection for you."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng pulled Chen Wenjin over and made her stand in front of him.
Then he used his own blood to place a red dot on Chen Wenjin's forehead.
"Why are they suddenly using blood again? Did that big-headed corpse fetus follow us?"
Chen Wenjin glanced at the wound on Cheng Feng's hand several times and asked seriously.
Cheng Feng pulled Huo Ling aside, and after placing a cinnabar dot on her face as well, he said, "Those vines below are a kind of poisonous vine."
When it's daytime outside, it releases a toxin that induces sleep.
At night, its toxins become hallucinogenic.
An ordinary person would surely die here within a few days; they sleep during the day and eat dirt and gnaw on rocks in the illusion at night.
"We'll be played to death here in less than two days."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng had already applied buffs to the remaining ten Xieling brothers.
"Alright, with my blood suppressing it, these toxins are basically ineffective against you. Everyone, rest here for a while and have something to eat."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng opened his ghost eyes and took out several large backpacks.
"Commander, the situation ahead is still unclear. Should we send some brothers down to scout ahead?"
Wang Kaishan also realized the danger of this Changbai Mountain tomb, so he decided to lead a group down there himself.
Let's clear the mines for the boss.
Cheng Feng knew their intentions and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, rest. This is an order."
"Yes, Chief!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison.
To prevent anyone from falling in, the group decided to return to the cave and set up camp.
Because of the limited space, only sleeping bags can be placed in the tent, making it difficult to set it up properly.
There is no distinction between day and night in the tomb, so it is most taboo to go without rest for a long time, otherwise you will easily be exhausted both mentally and physically if you encounter any situation.
After everyone ate something, the two brothers who were left on guard duty took the opportunity to rest.
No one knew how many hours they had slept, but everyone climbed out of their sleeping bags, full of energy.
Fearing the blood might become ineffective, Cheng Feng gave everyone another dose.
Then they packed their bags and prepared to explore the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds ahead.
