Chapter 2515: Life on the Line
The obstruction of the flames bought them time to escape. Not a single carrion insect could pass through the obstruction of the flames.
And because the steps fell down after being burnt, the carrion insects gathered at the bottom were ignited together. When you look down again, you will see that the flames are spreading rapidly.
Although Lin Ran ran at the front of the team, he was very anxious in his heart.
He could see black smoke rising from the flames. Regardless of whether it contained toxic substances or not, this black smoke simply diluted the air and made them unbearable.
"What's going on? It turned into a sea of fire in an instant." Liu Jingfeng couldn't help but turn pale when he saw the scene below.
He has seen scenes of high-rise buildings catching fire. The flames will spread upwards. If they are trapped and die on the top of the tree, they will only become buns in the steamer.
As they ran up, the smoke began to gradually rise. Now there was fire below, but because of the smoke, they couldn't see what was going on below.
Wang Jinpeng was very anxious. He had been leading the others in the front before, but now he couldn't do anything and had to slow down the team's progress.
He wanted to work hard to climb up, but the synesthesia that came from his chest and legs from time to time made it difficult for him to increase his speed and made him anxious.
It was Xu Ning who kept pushing him from behind.
Seemingly aware of Wang Jinpeng's emotions, Xu Ning comforted him: "It's okay, Jinpeng, we will reach the top soon."
But when I looked up, I couldn't see clearly what was going on above with a miner's lamp.
Although Wang Jinpeng was upset, he also knew that now was not the time to be anxious.
In fact, he also has the desire to survive. Even if he is willing to sacrifice his life for the team, when everyone is safe, nothing can compare with life.
Lin Ran and the others quickened their pace, just wanting to reach the top of the tree as soon as possible.
If caught up by the flames, there would be only death.
Originally, they just wanted Xu Ning to cut off his retreat, but he didn't expect that the characteristics of the carrion insects would cause a fire to spread among the ancient trees.
Just out of their sight, the body clung to the wall like a Sadako, crawling quickly like a spider.
Fortunately, he encountered the flames while crawling and stopped.
It stopped, then grabbed the carrion bugs around it and stuffed them into its mouth, one, two...
It has been devouring the carrion insects, and its body has begun to swell.
Eventually the body had expanded into a spherical shape, when it detached from the wall and exploded on the steps.
As it exploded, a large amount of mucus burst out from the body, falling like rain.
And its body shrank rapidly, like a dehydrated egg.
But at this moment, a hand stretched out from inside, and it was all wet.
Another hand stretched out and attached to the wall.
Finally, the shriveled shell fell off and fell to the bottom of the tree.
If you have a flashlight at this time, you can see that it has transformed, from a headless corpse to a man with blue skin, looking ahead with sinister eyes.
Liu Jingfeng and the others suddenly noticed that the temperature had dropped, and the vision that was originally bright due to the flames also dimmed.
Lin Ran took a condescending glance. Although he didn't know what happened, he could clearly see that the fire below had been put out.
Carrion worms are particularly afraid of fire. They will be ignited when they encounter fire, and it is impossible to put out fires.
Lin Ran could guess what the headless mummy had done.
The fire just now bought them some time to escape, and temporarily distanced themselves from the carrion insect swarm, but when they looked up, they were still far from the end.
Wang Jinpeng climbed down with his strong willpower and unwillingness to be held back.
This is attributed to his good physical fitness and his habit of exercising.
But Wang Jinpeng is not the only one with extraordinary physical fitness in the team. There are also some people who basically do not engage in physical activities, such as Huang Hao.
Climbing stairs is inherently hard work. After climbing more than 100 steps, Huang Hao felt like he was almost out of breath.
He leaned against the wall and gasped, "Everyone, can you take a break?"
He originally thought he would be scolded by his teammates, but he was actually mentally prepared.
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Liu Jingfeng directly supported the wall and vomited underneath.
The escape was so hasty that his body couldn't bear it.
It was obvious that Huang Hao and Liu Jingfeng were already exhausted.
"Adjust your breathing and stop climbing yet." Lin Ran shouted.
Now the team members are a little overwhelmed. He has to coordinate everyone's footsteps. If the person behind steps forward and pushes the person in front, the width of the steps will definitely not be able to support it.
After he shouted, the whole team stopped at the same time.
Even Xu Ning was already a little exhausted.
Because it was a corridor-type structure, Lin Ran could see the conditions on the lower floors.
He was surprised to find that the mummy that was originally mixed in the swarm of carrion insects disappeared and turned into a blue guy.
What's even more terrifying is that it crawls directly on the wall, climbing up like a spider.
At this speed, it would take at most 30 seconds to catch up with them.
But now that their teammates don't have the energy, they can't keep the distance.
The other people also looked back and felt a little disheartened when they saw the two dense swarms of carrion insects below.
It looks like I'm going to die here today.
There was an uneasy premonition in everyone's heart.
While climbing up, Lin Ran kept staring at the blue guy.
As if he sensed it, the blue guy raised his head, which was originally hanging down, and met Lin Ran's eyes.
Even though he was far away, Lin Ran could clearly see his eyes, which were empty but full of hatred!
Lin Ran's scalp felt numb.
Liu Jingfeng also saw this scene. He was already at the juncture of strenuous exercise and some lack of oxygen.
Frightened by this look, Liu Jingfeng lost his footing and fell forward, losing his balance.
Lin Ran was originally in front of Liu Jingfeng, but he seemed to have been taken away from his mind just now and could not react for a moment.
Liu Jingfeng lost his balance and fell from the gap between the steps.
"Boss!"
"Brother Liu!"
Lin Ran reached out to grab it, but only found nothing.
In front of him, Liu Jingfeng turned 180 degrees before his eyes and fell.
Not to mention the dense carrion bugs below, even if they fell from their current height, they would definitely die!
Liu Jingfeng felt that he was about to die, but at this moment, Guan Yun found a tree vine from nowhere, grabbed the tree vine, jumped out, and caught Liu Jingfeng's hand in the air.
