A dense swarm of Dap Ghost Worms coalesced into a single mass, filling the entire passage. It was like a pillar of fire erupting through the tunnel!
Hu Ba Yi nearly collapsed at the sight.
If they were to charge, there wouldn't even be time to scream before turning to ash?
"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"
Lu Feng now held a submachine gun in his hand, aimed at the oncoming Dap Ghost Worms. Bullets sprayed out like flames, each one hitting a Dap Ghost Worm directly.
The Dap Ghost Worms were only the size of a fingernail and extremely difficult to hit in their high-speed movement. Yet, Lu Feng was taking them down one by one.
Bullets and Dap Ghost Worms collided instantly, blasting the latter into explosions.
Gunfire?
Where did that gun come from?
Professor Chen and the others were startled. They turned their heads and saw Lu Feng holding a Type 100 submachine gun in one hand, firing wildly at the Dap Ghost Worms.
Holy crap.
Where did he get that gun?
Lu Feng emptied two magazines, saw that Shirley Yang and the others were just standing there dumbfounded, and felt speechless. "Are you all trying to die? Get in the river!"
"Jump!"
Professor Chen shouted, leaping into the underground river.
Hu Ba Yi, Fatty Wang, Shirley Yang, Hao Ai Guo, and Sa Di Peng jumped into the river without hesitation, diving straight into the water.
Lu Feng put away his submachine gun, jumped into the river, and slapped the surface of the water, creating a wave three meters wide and two meters high. The water curtain splashed towards the wave of fire.
Hiss...
Hundreds of Dap Ghost Worms were extinguished by the water and fell to the ground.
However!
Compared to the Dap Ghost Worm army, these losses were simply insignificant. They rushed towards Lu Feng like crazy, intent on devouring him and breeding new Dap Ghost Worms!
"No need to die."
Lu Feng took a deep breath and submerged into the water.
If it were only a few hundred, it would be easy to take them out. But this number must be over 100,000!
He didn't want to test his luck, in case he messed up.
The next second, the Dap Ghost Worms flew above the underground river. A few dozen Dap Ghost Worms, brave as they were, followed after them and charged into the underground river.
The "Immeasurable Karma Fire" was drowned by the river water and washed away.
Although the Dap Ghost Worms could transform their attributes based on their environment, the process took too long. They would drown before they could transform.
Soon, all the Dap Ghost Worms in the Nine-Tiered Demon Pagoda came to the surface of the river, forming a cloud of fire sixty meters long and thirty meters wide!
Some Dap Ghost Worms landed on the inflatable boat, burning it through instantly. It turned into a pile of ashes in a few breaths, making everyone's scalp tingle.
Everyone was submerged in the water, not daring to show their heads.
Sa Di Peng couldn't hold his breath any longer and surfaced to take a breath.
The Dap Ghost Worms were provoked. The fire cloud quickly changed, and a half-meter-diameter fireball shot out from it, directly smashing towards Sa Di Peng.
Sa Di Peng's scalp tingled, and he quickly dived back into the water, frantically diving down.
Boom!!
The underground river was smashed into a large pit, and the fireball charged towards Sa Di Peng.
The fireball encountered the river water and was peeled layer by layer like an onion.
Dap Ghost Worms were extinguished one by one and washed away.
The fireball completely collapsed when it was ten centimeters away from Sa Di Peng and was finally washed away by the river water.
Apparently finding that they couldn't do anything to Lu Feng's group, the Dap Ghost Worms hovered for a while before leaving.
"Close call!"
Sa Di Peng surfaced with a lingering sense of fear. He thought he was going to die.
"Get out of here."
Lu Feng surfaced and swam towards the bank.
Hu Ba Yi and the others made it ashore, their hearts finally settling down.
"Comrade Lu Feng, why did those bugs suddenly wake up?" Professor Chen asked curiously.
"I don't know, they suddenly woke up. Yang and I were almost surrounded, luckily we ran fast." Lu Feng said.
"We didn't wake them up." Sa Di Peng said.
Shirley Yang glanced at Sa Di Peng and said, "Those bugs woke up on their own."
"Okay, I believe Shirley and Comrade Lu Feng."
Professor Chen quickly intervened, changing the subject. "Shirley, did you find the diary? Bring it out and take a look."
"I didn't find it."
"Didn't find it?"
Professor Chen couldn't sit still anymore. "This diary has the route to the ancient city of Jingjue. Without it, it will be very difficult for us to find it."
"I will go back to find it."
"Go back?"
Hu Ba Yi frowned.
"Of course not now, but when they fall asleep again." Shirley Yang said.
"That's the only way right now." Professor Chen said.
"Don't stay here, stay away from the underground river."
Lu Feng had to be wary of the King Salamander, it was safer to retreat to the passage.
"Why leave when it's fine here?" Hao Ai Guo said.
"Then you stay."
Lu Feng threw the camera to Sa Di Peng and walked into the passage.
Hu Ba Yi, Fatty Wang, and Shirley Yang followed quickly.
They finally stopped in a natural cave five hundred meters away from the underground river: "Rest and change your clothes here. Old Hu, Fatty, come with me."
"Lu Feng, what's going on?"
Following Lu Feng away from the others, Hu Ba Yi asked curiously.
"Take these two submachine guns for self-defense."
Lu Feng handed them the guns, along with a dozen magazines and several grenades.
"Nice stuff!"
Hu Ba Yi's eyes lit up: "With this stuff, the feeling of security goes up a lot."
"Old Hu is right."
Fatty Wang smiled brightly.
"Let's go back."
Lu Feng returned to their base. Shirley Yang and the others had set up a temporary tent, and everyone was inside changing into dry clothes.
"Type 100 submachine gun?"
Shirley Yang was startled and looked at Lu Feng. "Where did you get that gun?"
"Brought it with me." Lu Feng said.
"How is that possible?"
"Fatty Wang is a master of gun assembly. He just went and assembled it." Lu Feng threw down a sentence and went to change clothes.
Fatty Wang: "???"
Me?
Master gun assembler?
Shirley Yang felt that it wasn't right, but she couldn't find any evidence.
Two hours later.
Shirley Yang said, "I'm going back."
"I'll go with you." Lu Feng said.
Shirley Yang was a little surprised. "Okay."
They came to the edge of the underground river again and put the new inflatable boat on the river.
"Comrade Lu Feng, Shirley, be careful." Professor Chen said.
"Lu Feng, we'll wait for you to come back." Hu Ba Yi said.
"Don't worry."
Lu Feng smiled faintly and boarded the boat with Shirley to the other side.
