Chapter 252, Under the Secret Door
These wax heads don't need any means, just the cold air that spews out can freeze me to death.
If you are an ordinary person, when you come into contact with this kind of cold, you are afraid that you will burp a long time ago.
Fortunately, I was very physical, but even then, I couldn't last much time.
As if realizing that I had reached my limit, the gargoyle finally moved, only to see it pick up the almost frozen ice* on the ground, and then rushed to the monster and slashed at the top of the monster's head.
Although the monster's methods are extremely powerful, they are very vulnerable.
With a single stab, the head was cut off to the ground and shattered to pieces.
The stone statue spirit raised its knife and fell with a few clicks, chopping off all the rest of the wax heads.
Although I didn't have that cold and suction, most of my body was frozen and couldn't move.
At this time, the role of the gargoyle spirit is reflected.
I saw it walk up to me and touch my eyebrows lightly, and in an instant, the light shone brightly, and a warm current suddenly poured into my body.
In the next second, the ice on my body was melting at a breakneck pace.
After breathing, the ice cubes have completely disappeared, and the cold air poured into the body is also being evaporated little by little.
Within a few moments, my body was back to normal.
There are no sequelae at all, and they are even more fierce than before.
After putting it away, the stone spirit seemed to be a little tired, its body was shaking, and it was a little unsteady to stand.
The four big characters on the chest also had a slight crack at this moment.
Looking at the posture, this treatment has consumed a lot of it.
Although I knew that it had another purpose for saving me, I also recognized it a little more in my heart.
Once I was able to regain my mobility, I quickly turned my attention back to the wax heads.
After being chopped down by the gargoyle, the heads began to recover again, and after a while, they returned to their original state.
This time, however, they didn't form a human form, but lined up in a row, gradually trying to piece together a long snake.
Before they were fully formed, I quickly stepped forward and slashed at their heads again.
After completely chopping them into pieces, my stalk, which had long been overwhelmed, finally broke into several knots with a "bang".
When it was used to deal with the humanoid white bone group before, it was already full of holes.
Now after another toss, this knife has finally completed its mission.
Although they were chopped into pieces, these wax heads, like Xiao Qiang, who couldn't be killed, kept recovering.
And the recovery rate is getting faster and faster, which proves that they are getting stronger.
It may be that they are adapting to the changes in their bodies, or it is also possible that their abilities are recovering little by little.
But whatever the reason, it's not good news for us.
Now I don't even have the weapons I can take advantage of, and if I continue to consume it like this, I will have to finish playing sooner or later.
There are only two options at the moment, one is to go back and where to go from, and the other is to go through the secret door and find another way out.
If we go back, then it will prove that we have lost all our efforts and worked in vain for a while, and I naturally don't want to, so I can only choose to continue to venture deeper.
I'd like to see what is inside this secret door that makes these wax figures so nervous that they even show up against me.
"Let's go inside!"
After greeting the gargoyle, I picked up the white lantern that had fallen to the ground and set off first, crawling into the secret door.
Just saved my life, I naturally won't take revenge and let it be cannon fodder, that's too much of a thing, if you want to be it, then you have to talk about it later.
Inside the secret door, there is a bottomless passage
Even with the white lantern lighting, there is still no end in sight.
But at this time, I couldn't do that much, so I had to go down the stairs.
Just as the stone spirit followed into the secret door, the secret door suddenly "touched" and closed, isolating the feeling in the temple.
For a moment, the inside of the passage became darker.
Although the sudden change of the secret door has removed the danger behind us, it has also sealed our retreat.
For now, we can only move forward, forward, and forward.
I lit a white lantern and walked down the stairs step by step.
It was dark and quiet, so quiet that I could hear my own breathing.
Fortunately, the whole passage is quite spacious, so it doesn't give people a very depressing feeling, the only discomfort is the bottomless passage, I don't know where it leads.
Inexplicably, I suddenly thought of a song, daring to ask where the road is, the road is at the foot.
It's inexplicable, it's abrupt, and I admire my brain circuits a little.
With a smile, I gathered my mind and continued to walk.
After walking cautiously for about ten minutes, the downward slope finally slowed down.
If you go further, you will not continue to go down, but forward.
The location of the ancient temple was originally on the top of the mountain, and now that we have been walking down for so long, the location we are in now should be in the middle of the mountain.
In other words, this passage was dug in the mountains, which is a bit of a tunnel.
Continue along the passage, about 100 meters or so, and soon a cave appears.
The cave was dark and damp, and a pungent sour smell could be faintly smelled.
I looked around with a white lantern and saw that the whole cave was very large, and the roof of the cave was at least ten meters above the ground.
If you extend horizontally, the light of the lantern will not reach the end at all.
What is this place?
Confused, I began to grope my way down the cavern, followed by the gargoyles.
My eyes were generally focused on the front and overhead, but as I walked, I could only hear a "clang", as if I had kicked something.
When I looked down, I realized that it was a skull head of Bai Sensen.
It's not the first time I've seen it, but it's the first time I've been kicked as a ball.
I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it's normal to die in this place.
I've killed all the bones in the bone-burying area, will I still be afraid of such a dead man's head?
I continued to move forward, observing my surroundings as I walked.
But as he walked, there was another "clang", and when he looked down, there were two skull heads under his feet.
This time, I finally paid attention.
If it's just one skeleton, it's not surprising, but it's only a few steps away, and two more skeletons come out, which is a bit frequent.
I turned my gaze and began to observe the ground.
I kept walking, but as I walked, I realized that something was wrong.
Because every few steps I take, a few skulls will appear in front of me, and the number of them continues to increase, and the number of encounters is more frequent.
At first there were only one or two, and soon it became three or four, five or six.
Up to now, every distance I have passed, I see a pile of skulls on the ground.
This place...... How many people have died?
Just as I was amazed at the number of skulls, my progress suddenly stopped, and I was stupid.
There was no way in front of me, to be precise, blocked.
But what stood in my way was a mountain, a mountain more than ten meters high that could touch the top of the cave.
If that's all there is, it's fine.
The scariest thing is that the mountain is all made of skulls!
There are no bodies, no limbs, all round skulls.
Thousands of skulls were piled up one by one, turning into a mountain more than ten meters high.
I looked up at the Skull Mountain, and my eyelids began to beat uncontrollably.
The image in front of me was so shocking that I looked up from my tiptoes until I touched the top of the cave.
As far as the eye can see, there are all skulls.
The skulls, large and small, were stacked on top of each other and took up almost all of my sight.
I stood stunned, my heart throbbing uncontrollably.
How many people have to die in this place to create such a scene, a typical mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Thinking about it a little deeper, what is it that makes these people die?
War, plague, or whatever?
Either way, it's not something I can get my hands on now.
The skeletons were piled up, and I naturally didn't dare to touch them, but deliberately bypassed the skull mountain.
After bypassing, I realized that there was a different cave behind this Skull Mountain.
In front is a mountain of skeletons, while in the back is a large pool of blood.
The blood pool was large, larger than Skull Mountain, and the blood in it was almost overflowing.
And the sour smell I smelled before was emanating from this pool of blood.
To put it mildly, with the size of this blood pool, it can be used by hundreds of people to swim freely in it.
The appearance of the pool of blood completely blocked my way, and there was no place to put my feet.
If I wanted to go on, I had to swim through the pool of blood.
This is a technical job, and ordinary people really don't dare.
The pool of blood is not large, and it still emits a pungent stench all the time, and swimming in it is not much better than being in a dung pit.
Disgusting aside, no one knows if there will be anything in this pool of blood.
In case of a terrible monster suddenly rushing out of the blood pool at the same time in the past, it would really be a matter of death.
Now I regret that I came to this place of hell.
It's Skull Mountain again, and it's a pool of blood, and just being scared can scare people half to death.
In order to test if there was anything in the blood pool, I specially picked up a skull and threw it into the blood pool.
Only a "poof" sound was heard, and the skull gradually became a blood flower in the pool of blood, and then quickly sank.
Aside from the rippling ripples, there was nothing unusual about the entire pool of blood.
I didn't give up, and just to be on the safe side, I picked up another skull and threw it into the pool of blood.
There was another "poof", and this time there was no change in the slightest, except that the blood sputtered higher.
Is there really nothing evil in it?
With the mentality of giving it a try, I sorted out my equipment and slowly touched the pool of blood.
The pool of blood was so deep that even at the edges, it was up to my shoulder.
The further I went, the deeper it became, and soon I couldn't reach the end.
I let my backpack and lantern float on the water, and I began to swim deeper and deeper into the pool of blood.
Just as I was engrossed and vigilant, I only heard a muffled sound of "bang" behind me, and when I looked back, I saw a large area of blood splattered down, wave after wave, hitting my face, so that my body was almost unstable.
After the blood splattered, the gargoyle also poked its head out from the bottom of the blood pool.
"Uncle, can't you tap when you come down?"
I was a little upset: "Do you have to make such a big noise by jumping?"
The stone statue spirit spread out his hands and made a helpless appearance.
I didn't bother to think about it, so I turned around and continued to grope forward.
But at this moment, there was a sudden "rumbling" in front of me, and a blister appeared.
When he was stunned, two more blisters popped up one after another.
Immediately after, a blood-stained skull emerged from the blister.
When the pool of blood was first exposed, there was blood spilling out of the eyes and nose, and it looked very oozing.
At first, I was startled, but when I saw that it was a skull, I was relieved.
Because this skull that suddenly appeared was exactly what I had dropped before.
"Even you scared me?"
I aimed at the skull's face and punched him up.
With my strength, this punch will go down, and the skull will fly at least ten meters away against the surface of the pool.
However, when I actually punched the skull in the face, something happened.
The skull was completely different from what I imagined to be flying backwards, or rather, not only did it not fly backwards, but it didn't even fly backwards at all.
The whole head, just because of inertia, just deviated to the right side, that's all.
My punch was less like a skull than a skull, more like a stake.
I looked at the skull that was slightly off, and then at my fist, and I couldn't believe it.
Why don't all these cards play according to the routine?
Just as he was surprised, the surface of the blood pool began to bubble again, accompanied by two 'rumblings', and soon, two more skulls emerged from the blood pool.
The three skulls, with their hollow eyes, stared straight at me.
Being stared at by them made me a little uneasy.
Just as I was about to get around them, the three skulls floated up, slowly rising along with the blood in the pool.
