Chapter 268
Without hesitation, Zhang Hao was the first to step onto the iron bridge.
Wu Tianzhen followed.
Next were Yi Sa and Ding Yudie, with Fatty and Zhang Qilin walking at the very back.
One reason was to prevent any powerful threats from appearing ahead, and the other was to cover the rear.
However, nothing happened along the way, and they traveled for a long time without incident.
This made the fat man and the others suspicious, feeling that something was amiss.
The fat man muttered to himself, "Brother Zhang Hao, have we fallen into an illusion? It was so dangerous just now, how come it's so calm now?"
"Stop talking, the words spoken here are probably very accurate, who knows, a big guy might just appear!" Wu Tianzhen said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the iron bridge began to shake.
Yi Sa, Ding Yudie, Wu Tianzhen, and Meng Qianzi, the Mountain Ghost King, all looked at the fat man.
This made the fat man feel embarrassed, realizing that he was a jinx, saying things that always came true.
"Come out, come out!"
At that moment, Wu Tianzhen, who had just turned around, suddenly pointed ahead and called out.
Suddenly, a hideous, dark creature crawled out from in front of the iron bridge, its eyes filled with resentment as it stared at Zhang Hao and the others, as if it harbored a deep grudge against them.
After it appeared, there were countless of these creatures.
Just looking at this scene is enough to send chills down your spine.
"Corpse beetle, it turns out to be this kind of thing!" "These things usually live among a large number of corpses and feed on rotting flesh."
"There are so many now, it seems there are many corpses down there!"
Upon seeing so many ugly-looking insects, Zhang Qilin frowned.
Upon hearing this, the fat man and the others frowned.
Blood corpses, corpse beetles, and forbidden women—these are the most feared things when going into tombs. I never expected to encounter so many of them all at once.
Let alone a fight, just watching it makes your scalp crawl.
"Let me try it!"
Meng Qianzi stepped forward and shook the golden bell on her ankle. Instantly, wild beasts came galloping from the path they had come from, rushed onto the iron bridge, and charged towards the large group of corpse beetles.
These wild beasts include wild boars and rhinoceroses, all of which are extremely fierce.
As soon as they stepped onto the iron bridge, it began to sway, and Wu Tianzhen and the others almost lost their footing, quickly grabbing onto the iron chains.
"This is spectacular! This bell is truly a wonderful thing!"
Seeing such a magnificent display, the fat man couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Qilin, Yi Sa, Ding Yudie, and Wu Tianzhen stared intently ahead, their eyes fixed on the distance.
Wow!
Directly ahead, the army of corpse beetles also began to move. In particular, the leading corpse beetle was extremely terrifying, like a diamond cone. Any wild beast that touched it was killed instantly, and then crawled through the corpses.
He didn't forget to scan Zhang Hao and the others with a sinister gaze.
"This thing is really creepy!"
The fat man stuck out his tongue and said.
Just as he was about to raise his gun to aim at the leading corpse beetle, Zhang Qilin had already thrown out the Black Gold Ancient Blade first.
The Black Gold Ancient Blade was like a ray of light, pointing directly at the head of the corpse beetle. At this distance, coupled with the Black Gold Ancient Blade's sharpness, the corpse beetle should have been sliced in two in an instant.
But now, not only was the corpse beetle not cut open, but only a faint bloodstain was cut on its forehead, while the Black Gold Ancient Blade rebounded and was caught by Zhang Qilin who rushed forward.
Moreover, this enraged the corpse beetle that had been slashed across the forehead, and it glared at Zhang Qilin with resentment before charging over.
"Bang bang bang!"
The fat man fired in time, hitting its black armor.
The bullet only slightly blocked its body, and then rushed towards the fat man like a streak of light.
This startled the fat man; the thing was incredibly fast.
They were so fast they didn't even have time to pull the trigger.
More importantly, this was truly astonishing. The shell of this thing was incredibly hard; not only could Zhang Qilin's Black Gold Ancient Sword not break through its defenses, but even bullets couldn't penetrate it.
Moreover, this is just the leader; behind him are countless followers and his henchmen.
And judging from the appearance, the army of wild beasts summoned by Meng Qianzi with the Beast-Subduing Golden Bell was no match for its disciples and followers.
This is a huge problem! "Pfft!"
Just as the fat man was nervously thinking and pulling the trigger, there was a loud bang. The corpse beetle that had rushed over like a shadow was stomped under Zhang Hao's foot and killed instantly.
He has integrated too many things along the way, plus the evolved Qilin blood, making him practically a humanoid savage beast.
So, let alone these ugly corpse beetles, you could even crush powerful blood corpses with your own feet! "System, fuse with the corpse beetles!"
Feeling the corpse beetle beneath his feet, which he had trampled into pieces, Zhang Hao mentally issued a command to the system.
[Ding, merging in progress.]
[Ding, fusion successful! Fused item: Corpse Beetle!]
[Ding! The host has acquired special attributes of the fusion material: night vision and hardness dozens of times greater than diamond.]
As the system notification sounded, Zhang Hao was immediately enveloped in an aura invisible to others, completing the fusion with the corpse beetle.
Then he looked down at the blackboard bridge, and the dark area below the blackboard bridge became crystal clear to him. He saw that it was bottomless, like a real underworld.
You can vaguely see groups of corpses below, and a dense swarm of corpse beetles crawling up the iron bridge chains!
That night vision technology is really impressive!
Moreover, it's not just ordinary night vision; it can even see into the deepest abyss.
"Uncle, you're amazing! This corpse beetle leader was so powerful, bullets and the Black Gold Ancient Sword couldn't penetrate it, but you just stomped it to death like that, Uncle?"
Just then, Wu Tianzhen, who was behind Zhang Hao, shouted.
She had not only raised her finger to her uncle, but her admiration for him had reached 99%, with the remaining 1% reserved for the fear that he would become arrogant.
"hiss!"
The fat man also took a deep breath, looking at Zhang Hao as if he were a monster.
He fired two shots in a row, both hitting the head of the corpse beetle, but it was like a tickle, not even causing it the slightest harm.
But now he's been stomped to death by Zhang Hao's brothers? That's just too barbaric!
This is inhuman! Even Zhang Qilin looked at Zhang Hao with utmost admiration, once again shocked by Zhang Hao's power. "Uncle, they're all here, what are we going to do?"
Just then, Wu Tianzhen, who was holding Zhang Hao's arm, suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.
As the leader of the corpse beetles died, the other corpse beetles immediately crawled over the slain beasts' carcasses, swarming densely towards Zhang Hao and his group.
Moreover, their eyes were filled with resentment, as if they were determined to avenge their leader, which made the fat man and the others feel a chill down their spines.
"Use fire! They're afraid of fire!"
Zhang Hao, on the other hand, calmly issued the order.
