People are in the lighthouse, Bai Yuekui wants to team up with me

Chapter 124 Strange Creatures
Perhaps feeling the breath of living people, countless nanoworms swarmed out of the nest. They gathered in the midair of the cave, densely covering the sky and blocking out the sun, like a big black river.

With a huff, the sea of ​​nano-worms swooped down like a tide, and the momentum was so great that it made people tremble when they saw it.

However, Li Yuan was well prepared and suddenly pulled out the silver iron sword. Under the full force of the 41 pillar-shaped life essences, the cold sword energy shot out in all directions. Under the sweep of the sword light, large swaths of nano bugs exploded instantly. Come, make a rumbling sound, like thunder.

In an instant, half of the tide-like nano-worm swarm was killed by Li Yuan, and the other half was still not afraid of death, smelling the delicious breath of life source.

At this moment, with a wave of Qing'er's small hand, one after another space ripples surged in mid-air, and the fluctuations generated by the expansion of space directly crushed the nanoworms that rushed towards them into powder, turning them into a cloud of dust that floated down .

In just one breath, the remaining black nanoworms did not cause any big waves, and were easily wiped out by Qing'er.

Wherever I saw in the cave, there were no black swarms of nano-worms gathered, and the remaining sporadic worms also realized that these two great gods were not easy to bully, and they all fell back into the nest, closed the upper opening, and dared not come out again.

It can be seen from this that the black nanoworms have a certain amount of wisdom, and this kind of wisdom does not come from a single individual, but belongs to a whole group.

This was the first time for Li Yuan to see such a strange insect, and he was even more curious about where this place was.

He looked at the bones in the cave and found some clues.

First of all, none of these bones belonged to humans, not even human-like ones. They were all bones left by unknown creatures.

Among them were three-legged animals, four-legged animals, and even those without legs. In short, they were of various shapes and shapes, and their skulls were also strangely shaped. There were no animals corresponding to them in the old world of the earth.

Secondly, these skeletons are relatively well preserved, and there are no broken bones. It seems that they all died quite peacefully, or died without a sound.

This is quite in line with the predatory characteristics of black nanoworms. They will drill into the body of the organism and suck the vitality of the opponent. Often the organism dies in a state of coma and no clear consciousness, so the skeleton is completely preserved.

It's just that he doesn't understand why there are so many skeletons in the cave. Could there be creatures waiting in line to die?
What he couldn't understand the most was that there was no other way to get in here. How did those large creatures with a size of several meters come here.

He glanced at the dark hole behind him, and reckoned that the diameter of the hole was at most about two meters, which was more than enough to accommodate three people walking side by side. As for larger creatures, it was obviously impossible to pass through.

Is there a hidden and unknown entrance here?

Thinking in this way, Li Yuan turned his eyes to the passage at the end of the cave, maybe there is the answer he wanted.

While he was meditating, Qing'er had already begun to mess around. She looked here and there, picked up the scary bones and knocked them here and there.

I don't know what switch I touched, but there was a strange click, and the ground under my feet began to shake.

"What's the situation?" Li Yuan was slightly startled, and turned to look at Qing'er.

The latter also looked dazed, not knowing what he had done, showing an innocent expression, and hurriedly threw away the big stick in his hand.

Boom!
As a low vibration fell, the dozen or so nanobug nests suddenly rose upwards. What supported their rise were sarcophagi drilled out of the ground.

The shapes of those sarcophagi are very simple. They look extremely dark on the outside, but there is a gleam of light in them, and the inside is covered with spider silk-like circular patterns, which has the feeling of alien black technology.

Li Yuan was so curious that he walked into one of the sarcophagi and looked them over carefully. Only then did he see clearly that the Sanskrit symbols he was familiar with were engraved on these sarcophagi as tall as half a person.

It is the enchantment symbol with magical power on his silver iron sword.

Bai Yuekui and the others have been studying these text symbols, and now they have also appeared here, and they don't know if there is some connection.

He raised his hand to touch the sarcophagus. It was soft and hard, and he didn't know if he had touched some switch, but there was a bang, as if something had been opened.

I saw the inner lines of the sarcophagus in front of me flashing slightly, and there was a rumbling sound. The top cover of the sarcophagus was opened to the left, revealing the space inside.

It turns out that the sarcophagus is hollow, and there is nothing inside, but another mystery.

Li Yuan felt as if he had discovered a new world when he saw the things hidden inside.

"What... what kind of creature is this?" Qing'er also leaned over at this time, she stared at it carefully with a pair of big eyes, her face was full of doubts and incomprehension.

Li Yuan also shook his head, expressing that he did not know.

In front of his eyes at this moment, the thing hidden in the sarcophagus is an unknown creature with brown skin, which feels like rhinoceros hide, and has six arms and two legs at the same time.

Its head is only the size of a bowl, with eyeballs on top of its head, which looks like a grasshopper. It also has a pair of short and small tentacles, its mouth is a bit like an ant, and its ears are like a conch, which is very strange.

The creature is not tall, it is equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old child, about one meter.

Between it and the sarcophagus, there are several sticky tentacles connected, and the sarcophagus is connected to the nanoworm nest directly above. The three seem to be connected and integrated with each other.

Judging from the breath, the unknown creature had been dead for a long time and had long since lost its vitality, but its body had not rotted.

I don't know if it's because of the particularity of its body, or because of the sarcophagus, but Li Yuan was lucky enough to see this indescribably strange species.

Similarly, after checking one by one, he found that there was a creature with similar appearance in more than a dozen other sarcophagi.

They had been dead for an unknown number of years, and were buried underground in the cave. It happened that Qing'er touched the activation mechanism before releasing them.

Li Yuan couldn't help but make a bold guess. The nanoworm's nest was connected to the sarcophagus. This was obviously not unreasonable.

Is there a possibility that the existence of nanoworm nests is actually to help the creatures in the sarcophagus continue their lives? After all, nanoworms can rob other creatures of their life essence and vitality.

Some of these things are used to maintain the growth and reproduction of nanoworms, and the rest are used to support the creatures in the sarcophagus.

It was only because there were too few prey, and the nanoworms did not have enough life source to support the creatures in the sarcophagus, so they died, so that they were left here for an unknown number of years.

If this conjecture is true, then the problem arises. These strange creatures are obviously very intelligent. Knowing this method must also develop into a civilization.

What exactly are they, where do they come from, and what is their connection with those magical Sanskrit symbols?
