Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Falling Lights
The fact that a living person is cut in half so close together is really exciting enough even for a player like Wu Yun who loves horror games. Wu Yun touched the blood stains on his face, he immediately thought of Black Fang's terrifying killing move, which was not too bloody compared to that time, even so, his legs couldn't stop trembling, and his body froze there motionless. And the little Lori not far behind him exclaimed, and then fell into the sand unconscious.
Just when he was in great shock and panic, the rope on his body was suddenly tightened by a force, and Wu Yun hurriedly looked back to see that the team leader was trying to pull the rope that tied him to Wu Yun. The soldiers had also given up their previous efforts, and dragged them out with their captain, apparently hoping to get him out of the hole. Wu Yun hurriedly stepped back, he was afraid that the movement would be too big and startle the terrifying creatures below. At this moment the fox clenched the shotgun in his hand and stared warily at the hole, he was sure that the other party would make a move.
His worries were indeed not superfluous, and for a while, countless sands were sprayed out from below by a powerful force, and the entrance of the cave seemed to suddenly conjure up a fountain of sand grains. But everyone knows in their hearts that this is by no means a natural phenomenon. It must have been caused by Carlos' killer. But what exactly is the purpose of making this thing? This question popped up in everyone's minds.
Everyone struggled to maintain their standing, the sand sprayed out of the cave felt endless, and soon the whole cave was filled with yellow sand mist, and some large grains of sand were gathered into lines and drifted down from the height of the cave, and there was a feeling of sand rain, and everyone on the ground held their breath, for fear that the sand would enter their mouths. After a while, a thick layer of sand was piled up on everyone's bodies. Everyone was dressed in yellow armor.
The squad leader and the soldiers stopped their activities, and Wu Yun had to stand honestly in place. Seeing that there was more and more sand on his body, he suddenly remembered something, he looked back, Wendy had fainted not far from him, but now he couldn't see anything there. Only a small half of the metal box could be seen buried in the sand, though its glow did not diminish in the slightest. However, under the shroud of sand and fog, his vision was still greatly affected.
The metal box, which was the only light source here, gradually moved towards the entrance of the cave, and only then did Wu Yun notice a slender arm on the box. Then came the shoulder. Head... Little Lori was gradually dragged out of the sand by the box.
Watch the box slowly slide down the sand to the entrance of the cave... Wu Yun immediately understood the other party's method, as the sand continued to fall from the sky, the sand particles would roll down the slope due to gravity. These countless tiny particles will act like a conveyor belt to send everything in it into the hole. People who have been fixed by an external force may not be aware of this serious problem, but the metal box without any external support has begun to be affected by this force.
I watched as the metal box carrying Wendy slowly slid towards me. Naturally, he could not remain indifferent. Wu Yunyi bent down and reached out to pull the little Lori over. As soon as the mass of the metal box became lighter, the speed of the decline immediately increased a lot. It fell out of the hole in a matter of seconds. The sand that erupted from the cave swelled up all at once.
The crowd was once again plunged into darkness. The sudden change of getting up made Wu Yun panic, his feet slipped, and he immediately fell to the ground with the unconscious Wendy. With the help of the grains of sand beneath their bodies, the two of them slid straight towards the hole.
Under the cover of the yellow sand rain, the foxes were busy fighting against the endless grains of sand. Who didn't notice the movement on Wu Yun's side.
Only the team leader felt a strong force of the rope in his hand, he couldn't help but loosen his hand, the rope had already left his hand, almost at the same time he took a step forward, his arm stretched out a lot, and the team leader grabbed the rope that flew away from the air.
Then the familiar darkness descended again. He felt a loosening of his back, apparently freed from the soldiers' grasps, all because of the suddenness of his steps, and the utter defenselessness of the riot shieldmen behind him.
The squad leader secretly screamed that it was not good, but it was too late now. He instinctively let go of the rope in his hand, but the inertia of his forward rush did not affect it in the slightest, and he rolled in the darkness towards the dangerous hole. Even if he is strong in kung fu, he can only resign himself to fate in such an environment.
Wu Yun's current situation is exactly the same as him, all he can do is firmly grasp Wendy's arm, not so much that he doesn't want to let go, but that he has no consciousness to let go at all at this time, but in the current situation, his kinetic energy is much greater than that of the team leader, and it is too close to the entrance of the cave, even if he lets go, it won't change anything at all.
Wendy slipped into the cave first, and Wu Yun involuntarily followed. In the darkness, the metal box fell down like a bright meteor. With the help of its light, Wu Yun finally saw the scene inside, and he couldn't help but secretly cry out in shock, under the entrance of the cave were undulating sandbags. From the entrance of the cave to there, it is roughly estimated that the height is at least ten meters. The consequences of falling directly like this can be said to be unimaginable. After a few seconds, the box was deeply embedded in the ground, and then a large cloud of sand and dust was splashed, and it could be seen that the sand layer below was quite thick, and Wu Yun couldn't help but hope that it would be thick enough not to fall to his death.
Wu Yun rolled over in the air, and he couldn't help but turn his face up. His eyes couldn't help but look into the hole he had fallen into. At this time, he was startled by what he saw, and a huge monster appeared on his head like an air barrier. It clung to the sand above its head, and the monster's head was pointed at him, and he couldn't distinguish its eyes and mouth at all, and he could only see a bunch of huge bulging sarcomas, densely covered with coarse hairs, and there was no beauty at all. It had two slender pincers on its head waving in the air like two sharp blades, and Wu Yun could even see that there was a little blood stained on it. It seems that this is the murder weapon that killed Carlos. The reason why they are slender is only compared to its fat and bloated body.
Its body is like a huge spindle, with some fairly regular horizontal stripes on it, but the overall feeling is still uneven and bumpy, and the entire body is also covered with a long layer of fluff, but due to the distance, it doesn't look like the head is shocking.
Although Wu Yun didn't know about this kind of monster, he could see that this guy's attention was not on him at all, its head was straight to the metal box below, it was obviously more interested in this glowing object than Wu Yun who could reach it.
A figure appeared at the entrance of the cave again, and looking at the costume, it was naturally the team leader tied to him. He had no idea what the danger was, but Wu Yun didn't remind him of it. Even letting him know wouldn't help. It's better to be killed like this, maybe it's happier, at least Wu Yun will choose this option to die more happily. The monster apparently realized something, and it turned its head, and the team leader's body plummeted. A moment later, the monster's head turned to the glowing metal box below.
At this time, Wu Yun realized the behavior pattern and living habits of this monster. It uses the bunkers above it to catch creatures. It throws sand to cause its prey to fall into the hole, and finally uses its pincers to tear the unlucky prey into pieces.
The reason why the three of them didn't encounter the fate of being chopped up by Carlos. It's all thanks to Wendy's metal box, for whatever reason. The monster was clearly interested in glowing objects, so much so that it didn't strike at the few people who fell in the first place.
Watching the huge monster slowly shrink, Wu Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With a snort, he sank into the thick sand. It seems that the sand layer here is too thick compared to the above, Rao is so, Wu Yun is still smashed. But compared to facing the monster on the sand layer above his head, he felt that he was really lucky in his current situation.
Thinking of this, Wu Yun looked up, and the sand layer occupied by the monster was like a partition. Split the place where he is now and the place where the team fell into two parts. The sand on it kept falling, gradually burying the metal box, and just as the light was about to disappear, Wu Yun saw that the monster had finally returned to normal, and it climbed up from the entrance of the cave very neatly.
I don't know who else is up there, he's only seen a total of three people when they fell so far, which means that the fox and the three riot shields are still on the upper floor. Wu Yun didn't have to think about it to know what the result would be when he only used a shotgun to fight that behemoth. He had to pray secretly for the people above.
He tried to stand up, but his joints ached. And the monster had disappeared from his vision. He couldn't help but close his eyes and let the sand slowly fall on his face...
