Chapter 473 Oh! The Great Pan Zi
"Yes, you're right. Then next time I... won't tell you." Ling Xiao nodded and smiled.
Pan Zi suddenly remembered A Ning. Ling Xiao and A Ning seemed to have a good relationship. How could he have overlooked this? Maybe they were actually in cahoots. Wasn't Ling Xiao keeping quiet just to trap them all here to die?
"Wang Zanghai won't let us out," the young man said, implying that Wang Zanghai had planned from the moment they entered to prevent them from leaving, and even if Ling Xiao reminded them in time, they still couldn't get out.
Ling Xiao's timing was actually perfect. If Wu Xie hadn't turned back and wasted time, they wouldn't have seen these things at all.
Pan Zi remained silent for a moment, then Ling Xiao said, "We can't stop here."
"But I really can't run anymore. The fragrance hasn't spread this way. Can't we rest here for a while?" Wu Xie said breathlessly, looking extremely tired.
“It’s not about the scent anymore. It’s cold and damp here. These centipedes will lay their eggs and hatch in warmer places. Let’s light a fire. We can’t let our bodies become the only source of warmth,” Ling Xiao said.
Wu Xie was aware of the dangers involved; some centipedes were poisonous, and he would rather be bitten by a centipede than be stung by one of these creatures.
Cheng Yu and Fatty lit a fire and kept their distance. Sure enough, the centipedes started falling down with a thud, and some even crawled towards the flames. The fire crackled incessantly, and the smell of burning filled the air.
"Hey! We'd better stay away from these snowflakes. They're really vicious. If you get bitten, your life or death is basically up to fate," Shunzi warned, and everyone immediately took another step back.
The centipedes overhead had all been eliminated. Cheng Yu shone his flashlight onto the roof. Perhaps because there were fewer centipedes, the lamp slave, which had been dark before, started to light up. However, it didn't stay lit for long before new centipedes would cover the lamp slave. Even after burning one batch, a new batch would crawl up. The light flickered until it went completely dark.
A rustling sound arose, and the lamp slave's lamp flickered on again, casting a shadow that revealed something in the distance. Since he arrived, the lamp slave's lamp had remained lit, and no more centipedes crawled toward it. The shadow stayed motionless by the firelight.
"What..." Wu Xie was interrupted by Ling Xiao's shushing before he could finish speaking.
"If you don't want to die, step back." Ling Xiao's voice wasn't loud, but it could still reach everyone's ears.
"What is that?" Wu Xie asked in a low voice.
Hei Xiazi glanced at him and then said, "An upgraded version of the centipede, you deserve to have it."
Wu Xie immediately shut his mouth. Judging from the shadow, the thing must be quite large. These small centipedes already disgusted him to the core, let alone a big one...
“I plan to blow up a road,” Ling Xiao said.
There was no way to go now, the only way was to use explosives. Ling Xiao put down his right sideburn and looked at Pan Zi.
“We don’t have any explosives at all.” Pan Zi felt a little uneasy under his gaze.
“I can say I have explosives, and I will have them, but I need something to help me secure them so that they can be ignited.” Ling Xiao stared intently into Pan Zi’s eyes.
Panzi knew what the kid was thinking. Little Third Master had reminded him more than once that the kid held grudges. He had offended the boy along the way, and now the kid was going to use him to tie up explosives. Having figured it out, Panzi took a step forward and said, "As long as you can get everyone out of here, Panzi will tie up the explosives and help tie them up."
