Chapter 131: Safe Chair
The camera was pointed at the alchemy furnace in the center of the room, and Olivia was ready to take some more important messages before leaving.
Although this is not the core of the ruins, it is still part of the underground ruins, and it is entirely possible to pour out the items that exist in the real ruins through some of the things here.
Olivia was obviously not the only one who had this idea, as the rest of the rescue team was also wandering around the underground while the machine was being repaired, and there were naturally some special discoveries, such as Dahl, who was now standing in front of a wooden cabinet.
Holding a strong flashlight, his gaze stayed on a clay pot in the middle of the wooden cabinet, different from the clay pot he had seen around some small dirt bags around him before, there seemed to be a few gray notes posted on the periphery of the one in front of him, Dahl raised his hand to sweep these pieces of paper that had been completely broken by the erosion of time aside, grabbed the edge of the clay pot and dumped it to his side, and a crisp collision sound sounded in the clay pot.
There's something in there!
Realizing this, Duff subconsciously looked left and right, even though he didn't know who he was guarding against.
The light extended along the mouth of the jar, and in the fine smoke and dust, he saw a milky spherical mineral, which was a strange mineral crystal that he had never seen before, and he could feel that there seemed to be some kind of flowing energy in it just by holding it.
Treasure?
What can be specially collected by the ancients is certainly not an ordinary object in Dahl's opinion, simply blowing away the dust from the ore, and then putting it in his pocket without saying a word.
If you take such a big risk to join the emergency adventure team, you can't go back empty-handed, in case it is a precious mineral crystal, it is a big deal.
Thinking of this, Dahl's eyes began to wander around, the same clay pot he seemed to have seen in another place just now, one was to take, two were also to be carrying, what was he hesitating about?
Walking past the place he remembered, the depression buried in the ground replaced by the joy of harvest, Dahl looked at the aimless few people around him, and he couldn't help but feel contempt for others.
Wait a minute......
Is it really good to move forward?
An inexplicable thought suddenly appeared in Dahl's mind.
The idea was undoubtedly strange, and Dahl himself found it strange, because it wasn't a difficult and special thing, just lift your feet and move forward.
But he just stood there and watched the other members of the Archaeological Society shuttling in the darkness ahead.
The two sides were only a few meters apart, but the darkness in between made Dahl a little frightened.
In the blink of an eye, the members of the Guild who had become accustomed to the darkness and were vaguely distorted and could be seen before suddenly lost their silhouettes and were replaced by a blurry, tumbling gray mist.
Long~Long~
At this moment, the stratum began to tremble again!
The tremor from the soles of his feet and the sound of people running around him as they searched for cover sounded like a chant before death came, and the constant flashes of fear and trance in his mind made him collapse as if he had collapsed, and he almost fell to the ground.
As a carefully selected elite of the Field Support Department by the Archaeological Association, Dahl had never been so frightened, beads of sweat on his forehead, and his eyes unconsciously swept around, finally frozen in a corner of the room.
There was a stone chair there.
"Dahl, Dahl, come over here, don't stand there, it's dangerous......"
Some of Dahl's friends in the same group saw him standing still and shouted to warn him.
Dahl didn't hear anything.
That stone chair is safe, as long as you get there, nothing will happen!
Following his "own" consciousness, Dahl ran to the chair, sat down in the astonished eyes of everyone around him, and immediately collapsed on top as if he had entered a safe house, raised his hand to give a thumbs up to the others nearby, and opened his mouth to grin widely.
It's as calm as if you're in your mother's arms.
"What is that guy doing?"
Joseph looked at Dahl not far away in some surprise, patted Olivia on the shoulder and asked.
"Who knows, he ...... Oops, hey, run!"
As soon as Olivia turned her head to see Dahl, she immediately noticed the bulge of earth around him, her face turned white, and then she yelled.
The latter, however, is unaware.
"Oh~ Is there a seat belt in this kind of place, it's a good place. ”
Dahl muttered to himself, reaching for the "seat belts" and putting them on his body.
All the lights were on him.
This made him feel inexplicably warm.
"Is that guy crazy, how can he catch those tentacles!"
Someone roared in the darkness, with a lingering terror in his words.
Dahl smiled as he was wrapped in the surging tentacles that came out of the ground, and they looked like they had razors on the inside, but they grinded so hard that Dahl's flesh cracked.
But he was just laughing there until his flesh was blurred and his bones were dripping with blood......
The number displayed in the upper right corner of the screen on the psychic protector continued to soar, and Olivia forced herself to withdraw her gaze, the old mark on her chest getting hotter and hotter.
"The rescue plane is almost fixed!"
At the entrance where the underground layer was knocked out, the mechanic's voice was like the last straw for those who fell into the water, tugging at everyone's heartstrings.
There is nothing to hesitate, Olivia gritted her teeth, she had seen all kinds of terrifying monsters in the videos of the Grotesque Studio a few years ago, and her psychological quality was obviously higher than that of the people around her, and she barely recovered her thoughts while immediately turning around and running towards the location of the rescue machine.
No one wants to face a spiritual pollution monster that can create an earthquake underground!
Everyone except for Dar was frantically retreating, and some even hoped that Daldal would buy them some more time.
The lighted rescue machine in front of it is getting closer and closer, but the chaotic footsteps around it are getting softer and softer.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced over and saw people who had stopped, and without exception there was a hesitant look on their faces, as if they had thought of something, and suddenly turned their heads and walked in the direction of Dahl.
At one moment, Olivia also felt a strange trance enter her mind, but the next second the old mark on her chest expelled that feeling from her mind...... In fact, it's not so much an expulsion as it is a thought that feels disgusted by something and retreats.
"Joseph! What are you doing?"
Olivia reached out and grabbed Joseph's shoulder, which was closest to him, and shook violently, trying to revive him from his trance, but the latter did not have the protection of the old seal, completely ignored Olivia's reminder, and walked back with a sluggish face.
In the process, Olivia inevitably turned her head or said that despite forcing herself not to look, human instinct drove her to check on the monster.
So she saw it.
A surging pile of tentacles grew on the soft, gray-black sack-like body that filled half of the underground void...... Aside from the outstretched tentacles that groped around, it appeared to have no recognizable features.
No, there is still one.
There's a lump at the front end of this thing...... It was a vessel for its brain, or nerve center, or whatever else dominated the sick organ of this horrible, disgusting creature, and the vast majority of the monster's torso was hidden in the dark underground.
I don't know if it was an illusion of extreme panic, Olivia found that there seemed to be a strip of cloth on the body of this gray-black spiritual pollution source monster that constantly emitted some kind of fluorescence.
It's just a faint fluorescence that seems to dim at any moment.
After one glance, Olivia had no intention of looking at it, but only bent down and carried Joseph onto her shoulder, as for the life and death of the others, she no longer cared about it, and she did not have the energy to care.
However, at this point, the success rate of escape no longer depends on how fast Olivia can run, but on whether the horrible guy behind them is willing to let them go!
The huge body that filled the underground layer was just a swing of the head, and dozens of tentacles rushed towards everyone present.
There was no heart-rending scream.
There was only the sound of flesh being peeled apart.
Keeping her spirits clear, Olivia finally made her way to the rescue plane before being caught by her tentacles.
But before she could open the hatch, the entire underground floor began to sway again, and the monster was probably full of food and drink and ready to withdraw, and its huge size "inadvertently" caused a small earthquake in the movement.
This is not good news for Olivia.
Not to mention the sparks that had barely repaired part of the rescue plane that had just been repaired by the falling rocks again, the ground in front of him that had collapsed due to the monster's movements and the collection of tentacles that had crushed it made Olivia close her eyes in despair.
The expected crushing did not come.
In the darkness, Olivia suddenly sensed a cold wind blowing, and there was a violent noise ahead, and then everything was calm.
When he opened his eyes again, the monster was gone, and two bright searchlights came straight behind him.
"Looks like what I gave you is pretty good. ”
Someone said with his back to the light, standing on the broken stone.
