Chapter 42 The Price of Harvest
The edges on both sides of the box suddenly became alive, turning into two arms, and grabbed Ning Weirui's legs, as if he wanted to pour him directly into his big mouth.
At this time, Xiao Zhen rushed over and slashed with a sword. One of the monster's arm broke in response to the sound. The monster stood up unwillingly. There were two legs under the treasure chest. The color of the legs looked exactly the same as the color of the treasure chest wood, and it was thin and long. The entire treasure chest was almost taller than Ning Wenrui. The huge treasure chest bit Ning Wenrui's head. At this time, Ning Wenrui finally recovered from his trance.
Facing the bloody mouth that was biting towards him, he was so scared that he hurriedly supported his hands and used his strength to hold the master's big mouth tightly to prevent it from biting it. At this time, Dashan rushed over and swung out the engineer shovel in his hand, and it staggered the treasure chest. Ning Wenrui finally took his head out of the treasure chest, but his left hand bit it straight. With a click, the sharp teeth of the treasure chest directly bit Ning Wenrui's left hand.
Ning Wenrui screamed in pain. He did not have Xiao Zhen's tenacious nerves, but it also woke him up completely from the confusion. He covered his wrist with one hand and turned around and ran away, blood spilled all over the ground.
On the other hand, Dashan and Xiao Zhen also began to beat the treasure chest. The engineer shovel and Yan Shang Jian kept slashing the treasure chest, cutting the box with blood flowing. After the wooden box was damaged, blood actually flowed out.
Xing Tianyu did not take action, it was enough to have Xiao Zhen and Dashan.
In the blink of an eye, the treasure chest was covered in scars. It tried to attack everyone, but because the speed was too slow, it had no effect at all. So it slowly squatted down again and returned to the treasure chest, looking like it was not fighting back. At the same time, the strong and seductive feeling before appeared again, but this time, no one was fooled.
Xing Tianyu felt relieved. Although this treasure chest was scary, it was actually slow and had no ability to fight head-on. I guess he could only rely on that kind of spiritual temptation to lure people into a trap, and then swallow it with his mouth. However, once he found out that this kind of mental attack would be useless, so he was not in a hurry to exile it. Maybe something else would be good if he killed it.
He guessed that he should have strong mental power and was not affected by the temptation. Xiao Zhen should have been injured by his hand and the constant pain made him not fall into the trap. As for Dashan and Lin Xiaoxiao, it should be because they were far away, so they had little influence. Poor Ning Wenrui, as the summoner, was the first to be affected and had no ability to resist. This means that he and Xiao Zhen were next to him. Otherwise, if Ning Wenrui summoned alone, he would have died.
Ning Wenrui seemed to have figured out all the things, but in a panic, he was so frightened that he was brave and fired a shotgun.
The shot opened a big hole in the middle of the treasure chest, and blood gushed out. The treasure chest seemed to be dead. Suddenly, the big mouth was opened, and with a foul stench, a bunch of messy things were vomited out all at once.
This vomit suddenly made the entire lobby filled with a strong stench, as if the sour smell of vomit and the rotten stench of rotten corpses. Xiao Zhen and Dashan, who were beating the treasure chest, hurriedly retreated, and everyone covered their noses. Fortunately, the door of the lobby was open, and the stench gradually dissipated with the night wind.
The treasure chest was completely dead at this time, with the lid wide open, the big mouth and black tongue inside were thrust weakly, everyone looked at the pile of things spit out of the treasure chest, including broken metal objects, tattered clothes, and some bones that had not yet been completely digested were all soaked in mucus. It was really hard to imagine that such a box could hold so many things.
Xiao Zhen was far away and used a wooden stick to lift the remains of a piece of clothing. It was the residue of a black robe. "Old Xing, do you think this thing looks familiar?"
It's not just familiar, but judging from the style of the residue, it's clearly a summoner's robe.
Xing Tianyu's face was solemn, "It seems that at least one summoner has been eaten by this box."
"Well, and it seems that it's more than just the summoner. It seems that this thing has eaten a lot."
Xiao Zhen said while holding the pile of things. It's really true that although the things spit out of this treasure chest were disgusting, it seemed that you could see some good things inside, such as some gold and silver jewelry, some gold and silver coins, and several swords of different styles. Some had been corroded and broken, while others were still intact, with a few small bottles containing unknown liquids. Xing Tianyu even saw a wallet, a mobile phone, a pistol and a few magazines.
Xiao Zhen picked out all the valuable things from the pile and threw them aside. Ning Wenrui held his wrist and winked at Dashan. Dashan immediately pulled out a towel from his backpack, took out a bottle of mineral water, and flushed the pistol and bullets.
This is an M1911A1 pistol, a very classic old-fashioned pistol that can load seven bullets at a time. In addition, there are several spare magazines. Ning Wenrui threw the shotgun to Dashan and equipped the pistol himself.
He only had one hand left, but the shotgun could not get the bullet, and it was just right to use the pistol.
Xing Tianyu picked up the mobile phone and wallet. He was a little curious about the summoner he had been eaten before. So far, he had never seen any other summoner. These two things might give him some clues.
In addition, he also picked a slightly curved scimitar from those weapons. The scimitar was shiny and apart from the corrosion at the handle, it looked like a new one. There were some weird hollow patterns at the ridge of the scimitar, which looked quite unique. This style was indeed the first time Xing Tianyu saw it.
He checked his wallet and cell phone again. Unfortunately, the wallet was soaked in the stomach acid of the treasure chest monster for too long and had been corroded most of the time. Even the whole piece inside could not be identified. The phone looked quite intact, but it was not related to electricity and could not be turned on. Xing Tianyu decided to keep it first and see if it could be repaired later.
What made him a little curious was that it seemed that there was no magic on these things.
The small bottles containing unknown liquids were also collected by Ning Wenrui, and it seemed that he planned to go back and study them slowly.
As for those gold, silver jewelry, gold, silver coins, no one cares too much. It’s time, no one will care about that little money anymore, but they are idle, and it doesn’t seem to take up much space anyway. Several people picked two of them and gave them all.
In general, this summoning cannot be said to have no gains, but although there are some gains, it is obviously a bit too expensive compared to what Ning Wenrui paid.
"I don't plan to summon it again, you can do whatever you want," Ning Wenrui said with a gloomy face. Dashan used alcohol to disinfect the place where he broke his hands and wrapped it in gauze. Although the blood was still oozing out, it seemed that it was not life-threatening, but the severe pain obviously would not disappear.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have cried and even collapsed. However, Ning Wenrui is no longer an ordinary person. Not only has he experienced the crises on the Daqing Mountain, but he is also a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions. He lost one hand but was unable to completely knock him down.
Xing Tianyu looked at Xiao Zhen, but Xiao Zhen shook his head, "I don't want to summon anymore. I think with our current strength, we should be able to rush out."
In fact, after these two dangerous summons, several people were a little cowardly, and even Xing Tianyu was a little cowardly.
But Xing Tianyu was not so confident that he had escaped by relying on the accumulated strength. Yes, they now have guns, magic swords, and apples that can release dozens of magic.
However, since the enemy can drive creatures in the shadow world, he must have some supernatural abilities, not to mention that their numbers and weapons cannot be determined. In this case, he felt it was necessary to further strengthen his strength.
But Ning Wenrui and Xiao Zhen's words also make sense. Now the danger of the summoning ritual has entered an upward period. It summoned bad things three times in a row, which brought danger to three times. If you continue to summon it, you really don't know what will happen.
Xing Tianyu hesitated for a moment, "I decided to summon again, the last time, but not now, but when the monster appears again."
After saying that, he explained: "Since that thing is afraid of light, we just want to summon something that can shine. But we cannot summon now. If we summon now, then all the consequences and dangers will be borne by ourselves. If that thing has lethality, then we will be the first to be involved. So my decision is that we should prepare all the necessary conditions for the summoning ceremony first, and then stick to it until dawn. If the monsters do not attack us again during this process, we will not summon and fight out directly after dawn.
But if the monsters attack us again before dawn, we will conduct a summoning ceremony and let the summoned things fight with the monsters in the shadow world."
Xiao Zhen's eyes lit up, "This idea is a good idea, which not only reduces risks but also gives us a chance to escape."
Ning Wenrui also nodded, "Okay, let's do it like this. It's two o'clock now, and it will be dawn in three hours. Let's light up the fire a little more."
The five people immediately took action and threw all the ones that could be chopped into the brazier as firewood.
