Chapter Eighty-Eight: Poisoning
After I said this, I turned my head to look at the hole again.
I hadn't been looking for long before I suddenly felt something moving behind me.
Turning my head, I was surprised to see Venster lying on the ground, with his face pressed against the entrance of the cave, looking in.
"You don't want to die?!" I yelled and pulled him up.
But Venster waved his hand and said, "I'm just curious about what is behind the wall, and I've been looking at it for a while, and it doesn't seem to be dangerous." ”
"How so?" I muttered. My left eye is still blind, thanks to the corrosive gas in the cave. Anyway, I don't want to get any closer to this hole right now.
But Venster insisted on his opinion: "Believe me, the mechanism seems to be gone." And then...... I didn't see the beast you mentioned in the cave, and there seemed to be nothing behind this wall. ”
Hearing this, I moved my gaze to the wall again, staring at the hole in distraction.
"Or ...... Blow it up and see?" I said subconsciously.
"Are you sure? Then I'll blow it up?" Venster seemed to be waiting for me to say this, and he excitedly began to prepare.
I watched in amazement as he shoved the bundle of explosives into the hole and attached a loop of leads.
Until then, I didn't understand why I had suddenly changed my mind......
"Alright, let's go to that secret room and hide for a while." Once everything was ready, Venster pointed to another chamber.
I nodded, and easily packed up my backpack and belongings scattered on the ground, ready to take shelter with him once he lit the fuse.
"Three-two-one" Venster counted down to three times and lit the fuse with a lighter.
The fuse flew to the flames and ignited towards the explosives, and we didn't hesitate to run towards another dark room.
Soon, a powerful explosion sounded. After the tremor of the landslide cracked, I heard the sound of stones breaking and smashing into the ground from the darkroom next door.
"I guess it exploded, let's go in later." Venster coughed and stood up.
Only then did I realize that his eyes, nose and mouth were blown out of blood by the explosion.
Venster didn't notice it himself, and I was about to remind him, but I subconsciously touched my face. I noticed that there was a line of clear blood coming out of my eyes, nose and mouth.
"This explosion was so powerful, we were all blown bleed." I said as I wiped it haphazardly.
"Huh? How can this be, Ah Hao, do you feel a slight tingling sensation on your face. Venster said in surprise.
I shook my head, I really didn't feel anything.
"Not good!" Venster suddenly patted his head, "It's me who is wrong, there's something strange behind that wall, we've been tricked!" ”
"Huh?" I didn't react for a moment, what Venster was talking about.
Then, without waiting for Venster to explain, I had noticed an anomaly - he was bleeding from his eyes, nose and mouth.
I touched my face again, and sure enough, the face that I had just wiped off the blood stained on now had bright red blood again.
"We're poisoned." I said lightly, in fact, this is also what I expected.
I began to regret it, blaming myself for stopping Venster from blowing up that wall. After all, he did it at my behest.
At this moment, the sound of gravel falling next door stopped. The entire chamber suddenly returned to its previous calm.
But neither I nor Venster moved. Because of the poisoning, my eyes are now covered with a layer of blood mist, and I have no intention of wiping the clear blood that flowed out.
I only moved to brush it away when this layer of blood mist completely blocked my vision.
Venster, on the other hand, seemed to be a little better, and didn't bleed as much as I did.
I suspect that the reason for this may be because he entered the dark room later than me, and the symptoms of poisoning are milder than mine.
But in fact, Venster's condition is not much better than mine......
After a while, Venster probably didn't want to stay any longer, and he suddenly stood up against the wall: "There's no way, we still have to act, Ah Hao, we can't sit still here!" ”
"I waited for you to say that." With a happy face, I wiped the blood mist from my eyes and stood up.
However, I don't know if it was because I was inhaling too much poison gas or why, but as soon as I got up, I staggered and fell to the ground again.
Seeing this, Venster quickly came over and lifted me up with one hand.
"Are you alright? Is it okay? ”
I smiled embarrassedly: "It feels okay, blame me, if I hadn't let you blow up that wall just now, we wouldn't have made such a mess." ”
"What nonsense, even if you don't stop it, I won't blow up that wall. Don't blow up, don't blow up? Where can we go without bombing?" Venster smiled and said.
I smiled wryly, and saw blood come out of the corners of his eyes again. I was about to remind him when suddenly I felt a sweet throat, my mouth was forced to open, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Seeing this, Venster screamed badly, and hurriedly picked me up and rushed to the dark room next to me: "Hurry up, hurry up, just get over here." ”
Although I really wanted to go on my own, looking at my physical condition, I knew that it was better not to be reckless.
But in this way, the burden on Venster is much heavier. Although he didn't say anything, in fact, he dragged me slower and slower, and I walked crookedly, almost relying on the wall to barely move forward.
"Do you want to put me down and go first?" Finally, I couldn't help but say.
"What nonsense, save energy." Venster scolded me, took a few steps, and finally led me to the darkroom next door.
The air in this dark room, where we blew up the walls, was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Not only that, but a misty mist appeared in our line of sight.
"Venster, is this ......," I asked weakly.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the thing that poisoned us." Venster covered his mouth and whispered.
After that, I felt a jolt under my feet, and although I couldn't see clearly, I guessed we were walking under the bombed-out wall.
"Did you go inside?" I asked Venster, the blood mist and the thick fog of my vision had made it impossible for me to tell where I was.
However, Venster didn't answer me, I was stunned and asked again.
Still no response......
Suddenly, I leaned over and fell forward.
At the moment of falling, I heard a heavy slamming of the ground beside me.
"Venster?" I braced myself up with all my might, wiping away the blood mist that had accumulated from my eyes.
Then I saw that there was a cliff ahead, and Venster had fallen beside me.
"Venster, don't fall, we haven't gone out yet." I stood up and helped Venster up again.
It's quite heavy, indeed.
I gritted my teeth and put it on my shoulder, and looked around, and there were cliffs in front of me.
And from the bottom of the cliff, a steady stream of thick gases came up, I don't know if it was steam or what.
It's quite like the scene I saw through the cave before, where the unknown beast rose from the steam.
Could it be that this is emanating from that monster?
Thinking like this, I suddenly fell into a trance. Suddenly, a grimace suddenly appeared in front of me, and he sneered at me: "I've been waiting for you here for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so vulnerable, and I'm almost dead now." I'm still thinking about how to defeat you, but unfortunately, you've lost yourself without a fight......"
"Who are you?" I stared at it with all my might.
What a grimace it was, hideous, like a combination of a lion and a wolf, but with the characteristics of a human. I really don't know if it's a human or a ghost, just if it's some kind of monster.
"Who am I? We met, and you should remember that you asked the same question at the time. After grimacing, he suddenly disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a pair of red eyes exposed.
I suddenly came to my senses, this is what I saw through the black kyanite glass box before, that grimace!
"It's you?!" I exclaimed.
"Remembered? Oh, at that time, you were wrong for that person, and I was startled and fled in a hurry. Now that I finally understand that you are not him at all, I naturally don't have to be afraid of anything. Grimace said, returning to his previous half-human, half-beast form.
"So what? That's the one you just saw?" I was so calm that I didn't want it to see that I was a little flustered, "And you're the one who has been watching us?"
"Surveillance? What are you talking about? I-" The grimace paused and disappeared suddenly.
My vision was clouded with a veil of blood again. Then, I felt uncomfortable, half knelt on the ground, and vomited a pool of blood.
At that moment, the familiar sound of the flute echoed in my ears.
The sound of the flute filled my ears, and I, who was already uncomfortable, was even more upset by the disturbance.
I covered my ears with my hands, hoping that I wouldn't hear the flute.
However, the flute grew louder and louder, until finally, it became a harsh and high-pitched sound.
I screamed and clutched my ears, but to no avail......
In addition, my eyes, nose and mouth seemed to be bleeding more and more under the stimulation of the flute.
The mist of blood in sight grew thicker and thicker, and the blood that came from my nose flowed into my mouth and then from the corners of my mouth.
I don't know how miserable I am now......
Fortunately, the shrill and piercing sound of the flute suddenly stopped. I was relieved, and I fell to the ground as soon as I got on my stomach.
In a trance, I felt someone approach, crouched down to look at me and Venster, and then the man lifted me up and walked in the direction I didn't know.
I couldn't speak, so I had to let the man take me away......
