Chapter 64: The Labyrinth Scorpion Shadow

There was hardly any glimmer of light in the hole.

I even think this place can kill people.

By this time the woman had already crawled most of the way, and I had no doubt that my first target would be me when she got out of danger.

So I had to bite the bullet and get out of here first, and when I found a suitable place, I waited for them to come up.

There was a torch at the door, and I didn't dare to move it, but with an open flame inside, the light that appeared would definitely attract those who came up to chase after me, not to mention that the woman would definitely not let me take a step before her.

At this point, I could only tear a step from my clothes and wrap the flashlight I carried with me, so that the light was weak and would not attract the attention of others.

The entrance to the cave is relatively small, and it is estimated that the fat monk will definitely fill it up if he comes in.

However, I'm still quite thin, so I'm still unimpeded.

As soon as I entered, I felt that there was a lot of moisture inside, and there must be water at the end not far away.

I touched the walls, and they were covered with rubble, like they had been scrawled and had not been trimmed gently.

As I walked inside, a fork appeared in a short time, and two identical openings were placed in front of me.

There were already footsteps behind me, and it was estimated that the woman had caught up, so I could only hurriedly choose one to walk into.

Once inside, I found that it was almost entirely a fork in the road.

The further you go, the more it forks, and it seems like a huge labyrinth.

This was so difficult for me that after walking for a while, I forgot the route I had come, and it became very difficult to go back.

I had no choice but to move forward.

By the dim light, I kept going around in circles.

I even felt like I was going around in circles, but there was still nothing I could do.

I should have marked it in the first place, but now it's too late for me to think about it, and I don't even know where I am.

After walking for a while, I suddenly noticed that there were some broken bones scattered on the ground, and I carefully identified them and broke out in a cold sweat.

A skull is prominently placed here, clearly the bones of a human being.

The reason I was frightened was that it wasn't a rotting corpse, there wasn't even any smell of decay around, but there was a skeleton here.

I endured my nausea and stepped forward and flicked it, and there was not a trace of flesh on the bone, as if it was a corpse that had been completely stripped away.

The light was so weak that I couldn't see what was on it, and when I was about to remove the strip of cloth from the flashlight, I heard a series of footsteps.

I quickly turned off my flashlight and hid myself in the dark.

A faint light slowly emerged from the hole on the side, getting brighter and brighter.

Then a person walked over, and it was the woman.

I was skeptical that the woman had followed me here, but I was relieved when I saw her holding a hollowed-out iron ball.

I could see a thin silver light shining behind her.

It's like a very thin iron wire.

And she kept pulling out the iron wire from the iron ball, and then took out another iron ball and wrapped the wire and threw it on the ground.

She was using these lines as markers, trying to figure out the route of the labyrinth here.

I wondered if I could follow her and walk out of here with her strength.

I lowered my breathing.

The woman seemed to devote all her energy to this iron ball, and except for the necessary look at the road ahead, the whole person was completely immersed in it.

I was a little surprised, could it be that this woman wanted to remember all the routes of the labyrinth?

As she slowly passed by the hole I was in, and quietly left, I quietly followed behind her, pulling my steps as low as I could, and moving forward with hers.

I felt like I was a little dazzled.

I always feel that when her bright flashlight shines past, there will always be some dots in the corners of my eyes, like a sign of dazzling.

I thought I was a little tired, so I slowly closed my eyes and rested for a while, and then continued to follow her along the line.

As long as any thread is still shaking, it must be her doing.

After walking for about ten minutes, I still feel a little tired, and my sense of sight and hearing is everything to me here.

I can't expect my ears to be able to send me a lot of information, and seeing my surroundings through the dim light will give me a little peace of mind.

No, when I closed my eyes again and rested, I heard some rustling sounds.

My eyes may have deceived me, but when I close my eyes, I only keep my hearing, and whatever I hear is real.

This rustling sound is not like someone else can fake.

I thought it was the sound of iron wires rubbing against a stone wall.

When I opened my eyes, I was startled by what I saw.

I'm surrounded by eyes.

It's the kind of vertical eyes that shimmer with a glimmer, like snake eyes.

This scene lasted for a moment, and immediately returned to its original form.

I didn't care if I wasn't discovered, I knew very well that I didn't have visual hallucinations, and that's what just happened.

At this time, I suddenly thought of the bones on the ground, and I didn't know what was going on, but now I suddenly felt it.

There was something in the hole, and it was still a small thing, so small that it could slowly crawl all over the body and eat the only thing that was left of the skeleton.

I ran frantically along the line.

As I ran, the rustling sound was especially noticeable.

Syllable!

"Ahh

In a panic, I collided with the woman and slammed her against the rock.

Both of our flashlights fell to the ground, as did the cloth I had been covering the flashlight.

The two flashlights are one inside and one outside.

And at the entrance of the cave illuminated by the bright light, I saw a scene that made me numb.

Under the strong light, the stone wall began to vibrate slowly, and countless dense black shadows moved from the wall, leaving small holes, about the thickness of a thumb.

And out of these holes are scorpions that look exactly like the stone walls.

Countless scorpions seemed to be avoiding the glare, and gradually exited the hole.

When the scorpions were gone, I saw the reflection of the bright light.

The scorpions' backs were cracking, and they were the kind of eyes I had seen before.

Even these eyes are still spinning, as if they are looking at us.

"You!" the woman didn't see this, but picked up the iron balls scattered on the ground, and after picking up a few, she was deflated, and threw the iron balls out in a rage.

"I'll kill you!" the woman pulled out a tiny thorn and was about to lunge at me.

"Oops!" I was about to explain all this to stop her from moving, when I saw her fall to the ground as soon as she got up.

She looked at me with her legs covered.

I saw a stone standing up next to her leg, and I guess I hit it and hit her straight on it.

She seemed very angry, and the general's thorn was thrown at me, and I ducked with my head in dodge.

"Don't move!" I quickly stopped her from picking up the flashlight after a miss.

"What else do you want to do, kill me?" the woman tried, but as if she couldn't stand up, she gave up and lay down against the wall.

"Woooooo I really didn't expect this woman to start crying.

As she spoke, the rustle around her grew louder and louder.

"Shut up!" I quickly went over to cover her mouth and grabbed her head to keep her moving.

She struggled for a few moments, a look of horror in her eyes.

She also saw the shadowy scorpions outside the cave entrance.

I whispered, "I let go of you, you must be quiet!".

Then I slowly let go of her.

She looked at me in surprise, then turned her head to look at the scorpion outside the cave, lowered her head and asked, "You came to save me?"

"No! I was driven by these scorpions! But now they seem to be afraid of the bright light. Did you always use a bright light when you came in before? I asked in a low voice.

She shook her head, saying that she had also walked for a while and thought that there was no danger before using a strong flashlight, wanting to walk faster.

I nodded and understood.

I quietly picked up the means on the ground, and on one side, the scorpions immediately rushed in along the weak spot of the flashlight.

I was so frightened that I quickly set the flashlight right.

"We're surrounded!" I said, a little frustrated.

Indeed, next to the light source of the two means, a thick layer of scorpions was enclosed.

Although these scorpions have eyes on their backs, they still have poisonous needles on their hind tails, and I dare not doubt that there is no poison in them.

Just think about the bones before you know that these scorpions are definitely cannibalistic.

But there is no benefit in waiting here all the time, the power of the strong flashlight is limited, not to mention that we have already aroused the anger of these scorpions, once the flashlight is extinguished, it is estimated that we will all become scorpion dung.

"Do you still need this iron ball?" I asked, seeing the iron ball on the ground.

"It's messed up, we have to straighten it out!" The woman slowly relaxed her vigilance when she saw that I had no murderous intent towards her.

"We need to get out of here, you get out of here!" I said with some anxiety.

It's not that I'm worried about the situation at this time, but if Zhao Gan and the others come in, we will provoke the scorpion and know that the scorpion is afraid of the bright light, but Zhao Qian doesn't know!

It took about ten minutes for her to straighten out the iron ball, but she didn't give it to me.

I knew she was worried that I would end up leaving her.

But she didn't know that I wouldn't use this thing at all, and even if it was given to me, what could I do, I still had to be lucky.

"Can you go?" I asked.

She stood up and tried, then shook her head.

I was ruthless, gave her the flashlight behind me, and then half-squatted in front of her.

"Come on, I'll carry you, let's go out together!" I said.

"What? you carried me?" the woman apparently didn't believe I was going to carry her, after all, she had tried to kill me several times when she was outside.

"Do you have a better way?" I said angrily.

After a moment's hesitation, she nodded.

I carried her on my back, and she was holding the iron ball while shining on the scorpion behind her, while I held my hand in front of me with my mouth.
