After re-landing, Zhao Hongxi and the others immediately looked ahead. The narrow tunnel entrance was extremely dark.
Fortunately, they all had night vision goggles and thermal imaging equipment.
It was a tunnel about five meters wide, seemingly formed naturally.
"There are their footprints here!" Just as the few of them were puzzled, Fox found traces left behind by the archaeological team at the entrance of the tunnel.
These mercenaries who had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies were indeed very terrifying in terms of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.
In terms of understanding the structure of this tomb, they might not know anything.
However, their experience of fighting in the wild and special environments had allowed them to develop a skilled anti-reconnaissance ability.
Therefore, after exchanging a glance, they put on their equipment and entered the tunnel.
However, as they walked in this tunnel, even mercenaries like them who killed people like flies could not help but be more careful.
Other than facing the archeological team, there might be unknown dangers in the tunnel.
As they thought about how they were moving forward quickly, the few of them were wearing military boots with nails on them. It would not be difficult for them to move on the slippery ground.
Under such circumstances, the archeological team walked for a long time through the tunnel. They arrived at half of the area in five minutes.
However, the closer he got to this area, the more intense the sense of urgency on Zhao Hongxi's face became.
He was no longer as calm as before.
No matter what, he was sure that the successor of the Mountain Moving Lineage was not simple.
He had to be on guard!
However, the more exciting it was, the more he looked forward to it.
He had been a mercenary for so long, but he had never fought with those hidden experts!
He had once seen a martial arts practitioner break a tree as thick as a bowl with a single palm strike!
In terms of martial arts, they might not be a match for him.
However, if it was a life and death battle, coupled with firearms, he was looking forward to it!
However, as they continued walking forward, Zhao Hongxi frowned.
He could smell a strong burning smell in the air of the tunnel, mixed with the smoke of gunpowder.
Zhao Hongxi immediately realized that something was wrong.
These archeologists also had firearms.
However, this was not the main point. The important thing was that there was definitely something unknown in this tunnel.
Otherwise, why would there be such a smell?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongxi lowered his voice and reminded them,""Fox, be careful. Do you smell it?”
Hearing this, the few of them nodded.
The smell of burning and smoke in the tunnel was enough to show that the archeological team might have used firearms to fight something in the tunnel before this.
As they thought, they turned on the thermal imaging equipment as they moved forward.
Furthermore, the muzzle was pointed forward.
"This is…" Not long after, Zhao Hongxi and the others suddenly stopped in their tracks.
This was the place where the Six-Winged Centipede had been burned to death.
The few of them looked over and saw that there seemed to have been an explosion in the tunnel.
The ceiling of the cave was smashed into pieces.
Moreover, the surrounding rocks were charred black.
" What's that?!"
Just as the few of them were confused, the old monster suddenly pointed at the front of the tunnel and exclaimed.
The few of them looked over.
Under the thermal imaging equipment, there seemed to be a huge object being pressed down in the pile of rubble in front of the tunnel.
The heat map it emitted looked very huge!
" What is this thing?!" After sensing the abnormality, the few of them carefully approached the heat source.
He took off the thermal imaging camera and looked at it.
However, when they saw what it was, their pupils constricted.
" Where did such a huge centipede come from?!"
The few of them could tell at a glance that this thing was a huge centipede. Its body was at least one meter wide, and its hard shell looked invulnerable.
Gulp!
Even though they had crawled out from a pile of corpses, they were still scared by the six-winged centipede's corpse.
After all, no matter what, the ferocious beasts they knew were only tigers and lions.
Who would have thought that even a centipede could grow to such a size?
This was a monster!
In an instant, the corpse of the six-winged centipede overturned their understanding.
However, Zhao Hongxi was the first to calm down.
"This is a thousand-year-old ancient tomb. It's understandable that there are some creatures that have not been discovered in the outside world!”
"However, this centipede was burned to death by the archeological team. This is enough to prove that the archeological team is not as weak as we thought. We have to go all out this time!”
Upon hearing this, the few people present also reacted fiercely.
"Burned to death by the archeologists?"
The old monster frowned and looked at the half-buried body of the six-winged centipede.
At the same time, there were a lot of burn marks.
Some places were even melted by the fire.
What a joke!
The archeologists could even kill such a monster?
To be honest, without any heavy weapons, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't turn around and run.
Those archeologists had really underestimated them!
However, Zhao Hongxi licked his lips excitedly after he said that.
The more afraid he was, the more excited he became!
If the opponent was too weak, it would lose its flavor.
However, just as they were thinking about it, what happened next made their eyes widen.
Hiss!
In the next second, a hissing sound suddenly came from the surroundings, and the few of them hurriedly took a few steps back.
Hualala!
Immediately after, under their horrified gazes, they saw the pile of rocks that had originally blocked the tunnel actually collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Amidst the flying gravel, the six-winged centipede that had been charred to death actually moved again.
He twisted his body and gradually pushed away all the rocks.
"This! He's not completely dead yet?"
Seeing this scene, the few people present were all shocked!
They could clearly see that the six-winged centipede had been burned to ashes, but it was still moving?!
"It's molting!"
"There's such a thing?"
At this moment, Zhao Hongxi and the others would never have thought that the terrifying centipede was still alive.!
Not only that, but the charred outer shell on its body quickly fell off, revealing a brand new outer shell inside.
Moreover, the new outer shell was even redder than before!
There was even a shiny metallic luster on it, as if it was several times harder than before.
Hiss!
Even Zhao Hongxi couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene!
Was this rebirth from the ashes?
Molting!
After its original outer shell was burnt, it actually transformed into an even more powerful body. Its defense was several times stronger than before.
Even his body had grown bigger!
Hiss!
In an instant, the six-winged centipede that had completed its transformation raised its head and let out an ear-piercing screech at Zhao Hongxi and the others.
The upper half of its huge body stood up like a human.
It was even higher than the ceiling of the cave!
Moreover, they could clearly feel that they were being targeted by a terrifying monster!
"Shoot!"
