Nine hundred and twenty-three
"This ...... These...... What are these......"
After hearing those strange noises, not to mention their teeth, many of the monks even weakened their feet, and their steps on the ground were messy.
"I don't know what it is." Nuo Mi frowned slightly, but still turned her head to say to the Spirit Lotus Fairy who was following lightly beside her, "Ah Mo, take a picture." ”
The black-clothed fairy named Ah Mo bowed slightly, raised his hand and waved his hand to the side, and the little light falling from his fingertips swept through the air, and the conjured light immediately melted into the darkness, dispelling the originally thick ink-like night a little. But this light only lasted for a very short time.
Before they could see the blurred scene in the darkness, the light that Ah Mo had swayed out had already been swallowed up by the darkness.
However, one monk could not see clearly, and there were other monks who were turning their heads in that direction at the same time. While many of the monks were still confused, one of the monks happened to be standing beside Amo, and couldn't help but speak, stammering, "That's, that's ...... Bugs, right? ”
"What? What the? ”
The other monks who had not seen him quickly asked him.
Questioned by his fellow disciple like this, the monk who had spoken earlier was a little uncertain, muttered a little hesitantly, and was urged a few more words, and then finally spoke again and whispered what he had just seen.
He ran beside Amo, and most of what he saw was the soft light, but he could quite see some of the conditions on the road. When Fang Nuomi reminded him, he also listened carefully, but he only felt that there was a chilling sound in his ears, some of which looked like someone was kneading the fine yarn with his hands, or some rodent animal was quickly eating the fruit, which was very weird.
After Ah Mo threw the light of his fingertips into the darkness, he also tried quite hard to see the blurred shadow.
"Like...... It seems to be a beetle. The monk could only conclude in this way.
Hearing that what was hidden in the darkness was nothing more than small insects, all the monks breathed a sigh of relief.
Glutinous rice furrowed her thin eyebrows again, and said as she ran, "Bugs? I just faintly saw something in the darkness, and it was quite large. Besides, there was no sound in this place, so why did the sound of these insects walking come in? ”
“…… Not really. The monk who spoke first knew that the glutinous rice had misunderstood, so he quickly said, "It is indeed a very large insect, not much smaller than us." Moreover, those are not at all the sounds of their walking, are ...... Be...... It's ......"
-- It's the sound of eating.
This disciple of the Thousand Thousand Sect didn't see exactly what the insects in the dark were eating, but he could barely see that they were all lying in the same place, shaking their heads and pulling something to eat.
The fairy forest where they were didn't know what was wrong, and the day came all the way, except for their accidents, it seemed that they didn't see any life anymore. There are no monks, and no monsters live in it. If you think about it this way, the only thing that the insects are devouring is the same group of monks who fled from them before.
"Eat ......"
All the monks were stunned, and their faces suddenly changed, obviously thinking of the same possibility.
Many of them wanted to ask Ah Mo to throw out some more light so that they could see the insects clearly, but after listening to the description of the food, they were a little frightened for a while, and no one was even saying anything.
Maybe they should find a way to see what is going on the other side, and if a fellow believer is in danger, they should find a way to help. It's just that where do they still have such pride now. Staying by Nuomi's side and waiting for Nuomi and Zhuzi to escape together has exhausted all their courage.
It's not that they're not afraid of the boundless darkness, but they just feel that it's safer to follow glutinous rice than to face the darkness alone.
And the bugs aren't coming at them now, isn't it because they're busy eating? Maybe when the worms finish what they eat, they won't be so polite to them again.
"Miao?" The pillar bowed its head slightly.
Nuomi stopped him, shook his head and said, "Not busy." We can't protect ourselves. ”
As she spoke, she had already taken out an empty jade porcelain vase from her bosom. She is a person who often opens the furnace for alchemy, even in the wild fairy forest, as long as she needs to, she never stops, so she always has a lot of jade porcelain bottles on her body in case of emergency.
At this time, she took out the bottle, naturally not to open the furnace for alchemy.
I saw the glutinous rice holding the small porcelain bottle on the palm of his hand, and as soon as he sent the aura inward, he handed it to the side.
She wanted to see if there were any remaining soul elements over there.
However, after the jade porcelain vase stretched out, it did not attract the scattered soul elements to come over. I don't know if it's the monk who hasn't fallen there, or if the monk's soul element has been eaten by insects along with the flesh.
The fairy forest was still quite quiet, there was no wind or water, and there was no scream. Only the dense sound of insects eating makes people's scalps tingle.
Many of the monks couldn't help but turn their heads to look behind them.
Suddenly, they remembered the screams of those monsters. Even that scream is more comfortable than such oppressive tranquility.
"There is no soul element." Nuomi shook her head, listened to it again, and suddenly said, "Did any of you hear the exhalation?" ”
"Whew, exhale?"
All the monks were stunned again, and suddenly looked nervous and looked around. Some monks even raised their flying swords again, and when they heard any sound, they slashed down with their swords in that direction.
However, when they calmed down and listened carefully, they realized that there was no noise around them at all. Not to mention the exhalation, even the click of the insects eating was left behind because they ran all the way, and it was almost inaudible. They ran all the way forward, and the sound was only intermittent, as if they had been separated by a considerable distance.
They thought that Nuomi was reminding them that there was a monster pasted around them, and they were making a low breathing sound, but then they realized that this was not the case at all, and they all breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "Don't scare us, where is the sound of exhalation?" There are so many of us, even if we are running, we are quite compact, so we don't know if we are mixed with something, right? ”
Glutinous rice's complexion was already worse, fortunately it was night, and no one could see what kind of expression was on her face, otherwise I would have been startled by her terrible look.
She licked her lips before she spoke softly, "What did I say...... It's not the voices. Did any of you hear our own exhalation? ”
"Our own?"
Everyone was stunned, quieted down and listened attentively, only to realize that it seemed that they really couldn't hear the sound of their own breathing.
Not only the sound of breathing, but also the dense footsteps that they should have heard as they ran all the way were completely inaudible. I saw the glutinous rice holding the small porcelain bottle on the palm of his hand, and as soon as he sent the aura inward, he handed it to the side.
