Chapter 215
At this time, the candle did not fall off easily. I believe the boy in white must have found a way to fix the candle, otherwise it would be easier to knock down a candle with the power of the ghost fireflies.
But you can't get down to this point by relying on this method. Who knows how long it will take to reach the deep and unseen underground?
We repeated this method for more than a dozen times, and there was only one candle left in the end, which made everyone very helpless. The boy in white continued to urge everyone to continue walking, and as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.
We reinvigorate ourselves, raise our confidence, and continue to move forward. After all, we have no way to turn back, and we can only move forward to have a chance to survive. The last candle is lit, and we understand that we can only rely on ourselves next.
The ghost fireflies were also the last time we were playing in the flames. We were watching the ghost fireflies while walking. In fact, if they were not hurt, they were also cute little animals. How beautiful and charming they were in the flames. They were like a group of children, dancing around the flames, wondering what to celebrate.
Soon, they threw out this ridiculous idea. They are not just children, but small insects that can kill people at will. Maybe God is unfair to humans, or maybe it is a punishment for humans. There is a beginning and an end, a cause and an effect, and nothing can be perfect.
The last candle was extinguished, and the air returned to the dark and terrible silence. The boy in white asked everyone to stop, after all, there was no candle for us to cover. So everyone stopped first, and could also take a break, thinking about how to deal with the ghost fireflies.
We didn't dare to eat or drink, for fear that it would make a sound that would harm everyone. So some people were hungry and endured to wait until they continued to eat.
So the boy in white said to us: "We have only one way to try it, use electric lights to see if it can attract it. This is very risky and it is very likely to attack us. But this is also the only way, do you want to give it a try if you vote?"
To be honest, if it weren't for him, more than a dozen of us would have died long ago. So I had nothing to say and was willing to accept his request. The others thought the same as me. They understood that everyone's life could be picked up by the boy in white in front of me. They all agreed with his method. If they fought, we would be safe if we succeeded.
So a dozen of us continued to walk forward, and the boy in white was waiting behind to watch the whole situation. But not long after we walked, the group of ghost fireflies began to fly towards us. The boy in white knew that the plan had failed, so he turned on the flashlight and threw it down quickly.
The ghost firefly reacted a little more slowly this time. After it was over, it would react before chasing the falling flashlight. Is the light of the flashlight much less attractive than the flame of a candle?
No, it turned out that after the flashlight fell, the ghost fireflies stopped after chasing for a while and no longer dared to fly down. In that area, we watched the flashlight fall, which made us very strange.
Until the flashlight fell to the ground, the light disappeared, and it was likely to fall to the ground and be destroyed. But we saw that the ground was still deep, and we didn't know when we would go down. There seemed to be a series of horizontal bars below, connected to the opposite wall, and we didn't know what it was used for.
The ghost firefly found that the light of the flashlight disappeared, so he returned to the area above to continue patrolling. We dared not continue to walk, after all, the plan had failed. We kept waiting for the boy in white to decide whether to leave or not.
The boy in white didn't know what to decide. He kept staring at the movement of the ghost fireflies and did not rush to tell us what to do next. We squatted down silently and watched the ghost fireflies fly everywhere in the air.
If the ghost fireflies were not red, I would have thought they were exactly the same as ordinary fireflies. I didn’t expect that they would actually burn people’s ghost fireflies to death. Looking at groups of red dots, it was like painting in the air, as if they were showing their beautiful works in front of us.
At this time, we found that the ghost fireflies were flying upwards, as if we had found something on it. Only then did we remember that at that time, a person fell down and was burned by the ghost fireflies. Someone must have come in, but I don’t know if it was another team of people or the enemy.
Seeing that the ghost fireflies were getting farther and farther away from us, the boy in white urged us to move forward slowly. After all, it would be difficult to find this opportunity if we were not sure about it. At this time, we heard gunfire sounds above and didn't know what happened. If we looked carefully in the air, it seemed that many ghost fireflies fell down like extinguished fires.
Not long after, another person heard a cry of pain: "Ah... it hurts so much!"
A man fell from a high place, and a ghost firefly chased the fallen person. We stopped quickly. After all, the ghost firefly had already arrived not far from us, so we had to stop and watch the movements of the ghost firefly.
Half of the man was burned and fell down. The ghost fireflies did not chase after them again. This was not the first time. It made us understand that there might be a forbidden area for the ghost fireflies not far below. We don’t understand why this is, but at least it is good news for us.
There were constant gunfire above. What was strange was that the ghost fireflies did not fly back in a hurry, but slowly flew towards us. But we did not move, and they could find us?
The captain led other special forces to raise the guns and point at the pile of ghost fireflies. If the ghost fireflies fly to a certain safe range of ours, the captain will open fire. Each of us is very nervous, and there is constant gunfire on it, so it is definitely difficult to deal with this ghost fireflies. Because there are too many ghost fireflies, it is impossible to eliminate them.
But they effectively repelled the ghost fireflies, and a large amount of residue fell over the sky. I don’t know what effective method they used. We confronted the ghost fireflies. Once the ghost fireflies approached our safe range, the captain had no choice but to choose to fire.
As the special forces are getting closer, I don’t know if the special forces are nervous. Anyway, I’m so nervous that my feet are weak. I’m not afraid that it will kill me, but its power has scared me. As long as I touch you, your body will be burned out by it, and you can’t subdue it.
The captain finally chose to fire, first shooting at the ghost fireflies. The other special forces were not willing to be outdone and quickly started fire according to the rhythm. So the captain fired while shooting and led the team forward.
Strangely, the ghost fireflies did not rush forward as savagely as before. Maybe they had not encountered natural enemies for too long and were shot by special forces and did not react for a while, so this chaos occurred. They seemed to be trying to avoid bullets everywhere, which made us not expect that they would be afraid of death.
As expected, God is still attached to us. It is not as perfect as any creature. It is impossible for us to be born without shortcomings. At this time, we no longer become afraid of ghost fireflies, but are full of fighting spirit.
The ghost fireflies quickly changed from a scattered formation to a regular legion. They attacked us in three directions. It was obvious that the ghost fireflies were not stupid and they also had wisdom. Not long after, another person fell from it, but these ghost fireflies were not interested in chasing us again. Their goal was to burn us all.
The special forces opened fire in three directions, but this time the ghost fireflies no longer retreated, but rushed forward with all their might.
The boy in white shouted to everyone: "Others can shine on them with flashlights, which can interfere with their vision."
We dared not be vague and quickly took out the flashlight from our backpack and pointed it at the group of ghost fireflies. It was obvious that the ghost fireflies became dull in the light, and he didn't know whether to follow the light or continue to rush towards us.
But when he was slow, he had been killed by the special forces gun. At this time, the Ghost Firefly retreated and did not rush forward. We seized this opportunity and moved forward quickly towards the road ahead. Strangely, the Ghost Firefly did not follow, but just stared at us in the air.
Everyone was puzzled. Could it be that it was because they were afraid of death and dared not come up? But three people fell from above in a row and did not think that the ghost fireflies were afraid. What was the reason?
I analyzed the situation and said to everyone: "Maybe this is a forbidden area for ghost fireflies, and they dare not come in. Maybe there will be creatures that are stronger than ghost fireflies here, so everyone should be careful."
After hearing my explanation, everyone began to figure it out. It was indeed the case. Looking at the place where the fire was opened above, it was estimated that it was nearly 300 meters high, and we didn't know who they were.
The captain saw everyone's doubts and said to everyone: "I'm sure this is not our person, it should be the group of people who sneaked into our attacks."
This is not good news. When we meet, we will definitely exchange fire. So while they are trapped by ghost fireflies, we will speed up and walk down. We want to rest, but the enemies above cannot give us rest.
We don't even know how he cracked the maze and could catch up so quickly. We don't know how many of them have, and whether 15 special forces can deal with them alone. After all, they came prepared and must know all the information, otherwise how could they dare to openly fire.
As we walked just in time, the captain suddenly called us to stop and said to everyone: "There is a group of shelled bugs in front of us. Please take a look. They seem to be waiting for us to get closer. What can I do to deal with them?"
We followed the captain and looked in the direction. I was frightened. It was a large group of corpses. There were a large area below, and it seemed that we were already waiting for us to arrive.
The old turtle said in surprise: "There are too many corpses. It's the first time I've seen so many, it's so spectacular."
Professor Zheng looked surprised: "How to get over this, this, is even more terrifying than a ghost fireflies."
"Is this tomb really a tomb that people enter, and there are deadly creatures everywhere. Fortunately, I have studied corpse worms. They are not only afraid of fire, but also a smell. It only has a little poison, which can force corpse worms to leave. I brought six torches and waited for me to add this poison powder." This man is the king of insects and is naturally curious about various insects. Of course, he has also studied terrible corpse worms.
