Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Sea of Worms
The coin was tossed into the air and fell into Yao Qianwen's palm.
Apparently, she seemed to have made up her mind.
"Looks like I'm going to jump with you......" she still had a hesitant look on her face.
"Jump with me?" I don't understand why she made this decision.
"That's what it says." Yao Qianwen put away the coin.
"You're suddenly getting a little weird." I thought of Yao Qianwen's expression at that moment just now, that was not the expression she should have, maybe I didn't know this girl, but at least in the day and a half of getting along, the character she showed was like two people with that expression just now.
Yao Qianwen smiled and asked me: "Uncle, you are a person who wants to jump off a cliff, do you say I am strange?" We don't seem to be normal people. ”
I stared at her for a long time, then turned to face the cliff again: "You don't have to jump with me. ”
But she had already stood beside me, "The flashlight was taken away by you, and I don't feel safe alone." Anyway, now we don't die so easily, so let's try. But when you get here, uncle, tell me what you're looking for. ”
After saying that, she actually took a step ahead of me and crossed the boundary of the cliff!
Fall into the darkness!
This operation really made me confused, "Young people are ...... now So excited? ”
It seems that it is not only the sudden appearance that should not have an expression, but Yao Qianwen has a problem in itself.
But what exactly is the problem?
What is she here for?
Since she can describe Mina's appearance, she must have seen Mina. But the story she told wasn't necessarily true.
"There must be some kind of connection between her and Mina, I need to figure it out...... If it really makes me die less easily. "My hand, touching the mucus oozing from my abdomen.
Then, take a step towards the cliff and stay for half a second, then shift your weight to your front leg.
Fall!
This feels like it's like hallucinations...... Sure enough, it's different.
I suddenly realized a terrible question, this cliff is deeper than the illusion! The speed of the fall is getting faster and faster, my heart is half cold, even if the mucus can make our body bear more serious injuries, but at such a height, after falling into the rock, our body is likely to be broken and shattered!
That slime is not a panacea.
I made a very bad decision.
Am I believing in hallucinations too much?
Burst!
My body finally touched the ground again. But it was not as hard as I imagined, nor was it the pain of being torn apart, although mine was still shaken around, but the consciousness was still there.
I'm not dead.
Really, not dead!
My hand groped around my chest to find the flashlight that I had stuffed into my pocket, then turned it on and looked at my hand, shining on my body, they were all ......
"What's going on, jumping down so high, how can the body ...... What is it? "Just when I was wondering, I realized that my body was actually soft, like a pile of rice husks, and I grabbed a handful, it was black, it seemed to be a crumb of something, and one of the large pieces still had some lines on it, very much like human blood vessels.
My mind flashed through the images from my previous vision, the eggs.
Now, there's nothing like that under this cliff.
And the lines on this large piece of debris seem to be somewhat similar to those on the eggs......
But anyway, thanks to this thing, I didn't get torn apart.
"Ahh
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation around me.
Not far from me, a girl frantically fluttered at the crumbs, then sat up and looked around blankly.
It's Yao Qianwen.
She breathed heavily, her face turned pale, and her terrified gaze finally focused on my face, staring at me for a long time before she gradually recovered. After recovering, he immediately moved towards me with an angry face, and after approaching me, he slapped me, but I grabbed my wrist: "What are you doing, falling stupidly?" ”
She pulled her hand out hard, "We almost died!" ”
Then he raised his hand and pointed at his head, "So high...... That's so high! If we didn't have these things, we would have broken! The kind that can't be dug up with a shovel!! Do you know! ”
Seeing that I didn't answer, she continued to yell and ask, "What's down here?" Are you sick, and why do you have to jump? You ......"
……
I stared at her, not saying a word.
After talking for a long time, she seemed to be a little tired, and finally stopped, looked at me, and asked, "Uncle, what are you looking at?" I've said so much, but you're saying something! ”
"You're going to follow it yourself."
With that, I turned my flashlight in the direction of the tower, and then walked in the direction of the tower with a thick layer of debris.
"Hey, wait for me!" Yao Qianwen followed, "You promised me that you would tell me when you come down, what are you looking for?" ”
"I didn't promise you, you tossed a coin yourself and jumped off, what the hell is it to me?"
"You!" Yao Qianwen is a little angry, but what I said seems to be the truth.
"Let's talk about you first, why did you jump off with me?"
Yao Qianwen responded: "What you can do so hard must be very important, so I'm curious." ”
I stopped, "Just dance with me for the sake of curiosity, this guy is either crazy or stupid." But I don't think you're crazy or stupid. Aren't you going to tell the truth, little girl, why are you here? ”
"I said, for the sake of distraction, for the sake of transshipment."
"Really?" I turned around and looked at her, "I don't think you're what I'm seeing you." ”
Looking at each other, I and Yao Qianwen.
Time seemed to stand still in that moment, and I could hear her heartbeat, breathing.
But beyond that, it seems, there are a bit of other voices.
The sound came from all directions, and in the darkness around it, there was an intermittent commotion, dense and fast.
"Did you hear that, uncle?" Yao Qianwen's eyes turned around and became vigilant.
I quickly shone my flashlight around, the ground was littered with debris and debris, but at the far border, there were clumps of black material surging like water waves, and they were moving inward, rapidly in the direction of me and Yao Qianwen!
"That's ...... What is it? ”
As the range decreases, the black stuff gets closer and faster.
It gave me an unknown fear, with oppression, and as it approached, my panic reached the extreme, "Quick! Hurry up in the direction of the tower! ”
I feel like that thing is going to engulf us, and we have to get to the top as soon as possible!
But the road under our feet was too difficult to walk, and almost at the moment when we reached the foot of the stone tower, the black matter had swallowed all the debris under the deep valley, enveloping me and Yao Qianwen! It became clear to me that they seemed to be worms, some kind of black beetle, and some of them had crawled up my body, their sharp teeth biting at my flesh in excruciating pain.
In a panic, I first pushed Yao Qianwen to the stone platform in front of the tower, which was the only way to climb the tower.
The moment before the swarm engulfed me, she pulled me up with all her might.
The strength of this girl is not small, and I even feel that the strength of her hands is like that of a strong adult man. I finally figured out why the boulder at that time could be moved away by only her and Guan Dawei.
I rolled on the spot and threw off a lot of bugs from my body, but there were still some like plasters, stuck to my flesh, and I tore them off and crushed them like vents! The bug's turquoise body fluids stuck to my palm, giving off a pungent smell and a strong burning sensation!
This worm's bodily fluids are corrosive!
……
The height of the stone platform was only about two meters, and the insects below quickly climbed up and surrounded us again.
"Uncle, you can climb up here! Fast! "Yao Qianwen pointed me the way, the stone tower behind us, although there is no ladder that extends upwards, but there are protruding stones as a point of reference, which can be climbed upwards.
