Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 270: Iron Cage and Revenge

Lei Xirui's face was pale and she nodded weakly.

"Lei Laiweng deliberately didn't blow up the passage over there. If nothing unexpected happens, the monster is alive. This is his backup plan." Da Xian sneered with a bad tone.

There was total silence, and his voice echoed through the lair.

The meaning of the words made everyone shudder.

Lei Xirui is a smart person. The reason why her face looked so bad was because she had already guessed this.

"Everyone, let's look for any passages that have not been blown up. If there are gaps or the stone walls are thin enough for me to penetrate with my spear, remember to notify everyone so that I can open a passage." Pei Nai gave the order first.

Everyone agreed. A few people were left to take care of the wounded, and the rest began to look for an exit.

About an incense stick of time later, everyone met again.

Pei Nai looked at them, and everyone shook their heads at her, indicating that they had not noticed.

"The passage to the giant monster's nest was indeed not blown up, except for the nest that has not been inspected." Shao Liran reported.

Lei Xirui didn't agree with everyone going there, "It's too dangerous, and there is only one entrance and exit to the nest, no other exit."

"There's nothing we can do now. We have to go see if there are any weak spots in the stone wall." Pei Nai made a decision.

The Lei family was not like Pei Nai and the others who broke through the twenty-one domains and the secret realm of the Lu Kingdom layer by layer.

They used to explore little by little under the protection of the Wu soldiers, and they were still full of fear of the creatures deep in the meteorite.

But now there was no way out, so Lei Xirui accepted her fate and called a group of Lei family members to accompany her and lead the way.

Pei Nai and his group followed Lei Xirui, leaving half of the soldiers on standby to take care of the wounded.

Everyone entered the only intact horizontal passage and arrived at the nest next door. This was the ninth nest they had explored since entering the Meteorite Land.

There are four passages connecting to the outside, two of which collapsed in the explosion.

The other two surviving passages, one connects to the eighth nest where the Lei family camp is located, and the other leads to a large nest where giant monsters are cultivated.

This place has been checked by Shao Liran and the Pei family army soldiers. There is no other exit and no weak points in the stone wall.

They did not stop but continued to move forward, passing through the only exit and arriving at the tenth nest where the giant tentacle monster was located.

Gu Jinheng walked in front, followed closely by Han Ruize and Pei Nai.

The area of this nest is comparable to that of an ordinary village.

The vertical downward structure makes the dark space below look like a cave abyss.

The space in front of me is extremely vast, and the stone wall on the opposite side seems very far away.

But because the top and sides are closed, people feel inexplicably fearful and uneasy.

Pei Nai once again had that feeling, as if they were no longer on the land where they were born and raised, but in another region and world.

There are many mid-air platforms in the tenth cave, all of which are connected to the outer stone walls, and one of them is under their feet.

In the middle of the front diagonal section, there is an iron cage.

The iron cage was held in the air by several giant chains from different directions. Next to the iron cage was a high-altitude platform, which made it convenient for the Lei family to study the monster.

However, there was nothing in the iron cage at this moment, and the cage seemed to be hit by an external object and was tilted as a whole.

The iron door of the cage was open, and inside there were only some remaining flesh and blood hanging on the iron mesh, which was dark brown in color.

I guess this is the iron cage that bound the giant tentacle bone spur monster, but the monster has escaped.

There was no sign of a monster within sight.

Luo Yuanying followed the middle of the team, and after quickly observing the environment, he asked Lei Xirui: "You used bone-dissolving water and other corrosive water at that time, and the monster's body was completely destroyed. Is it possible that when Lei Laiong opened the cage, the monster's body was only partially restored and its size was still small. It followed this passage back to the ninth nest and then went to other places?" "It's possible." Lei Xirui felt that his analysis made sense and said truthfully.

Gu Jinheng's voice suddenly sounded, and with one sentence, he shattered everyone's lucky thoughts, "It's right here, underneath."

"Hiss." Pei Nai took a breath.

"Hiss." Da Xi Shangle followed her and shuddered.

Everyone looked toward the dark bottom of the pit, but they didn't know where the monster was. They just felt like they were being watched by something.

"Will this monster actively attack people?" Han Ruize had already taken off the Hunxi Whip just in case.

Lei Xirui recalled, "Usually not, but we have hurt it after all, so we are not sure now."

"Then you stand here and don't move. The others go and explore the stone wall. If the monster moves, Gu Jinheng will report its location. Everyone listen carefully." Pei Nai ordered.

Everyone did as they were told.

Gu Jinheng and the Lei family waited there, while Pei Nai followed the others to check everywhere.

There are fewer vines here, so everyone can only jump onto various mid-air platforms or slopes, fix the mechanism nails for rock climbing, and then use special ropes to hang in the air to observe the thickness of the stone wall.

The soldiers basically work in groups of three and cooperate with each other.

After a while, Pei Nai, who was knocking on the wall to listen to the sound, suddenly felt a chill on his back.

It was the sound of the wind, and a harbinger of danger.

"It's coming towards us." Gu Jinheng's voice was still steady, but accompanied by his divine energy, this sentence was fully transmitted in the nest.

Everyone stopped at the same time and looked into the dark abyss.

In the shadows where light could not reach, there were continuous sounds of foreign objects hitting each other, mixed with the sounds of hard objects colliding and rubbing against each other.

Under the gaze of everyone, a huge tentacle shot out from the hole in the ground and slammed heavily on the entrance platform where Gu Jinheng and the Lei family were.

As early as when Gu Jinheng reminded them, the Lei family had already retreated.

The bone spurs on the tentacle clung to the platform for only a few breaths. The next moment, Gu Jinheng's expression changed slightly.

He shouted sharply, "Run!"

Just as he spoke, a huge and monstrous monster leaped out of the dark cave at lightning speed.

With the help of the first tentacle's pulling force, the monster swung its body upwards, and more than a dozen giant tentacles twisted backwards and floated into the air.

The monster had been waiting quietly in the darkness, and after observing them for a while, it was ready to attack.

Gu Jinheng, Lei Xirui, and most of the Lei family members ran to the edge of the platform at the same time and jumped to other platforms using light skills.

However, two men from the Lei family did not jump away. Instead, they immediately turned around and ran towards the entrance.

The monster crashed onto the platform, occupying almost half of the platform.

It stared at the circular passage directly in front of it, and one of its tentacle pierced through the air and went deep into the hole.

The sound of flesh being torn, accompanied by a short and sharp scream, foreshadowed the fate of the two members of the Lei family.

When the monster retracted its tentacles, the bodies of the two men were hanging on the bone spurs.

Blood flowed all over the ground along the path of the passage.

The monster's head opened instantly, revealing a circle of rotating fangs, and the inner wall inside the fangs was a mixture of black and pink.

That was its throat!!
