Chapter 81: The Trap

The monster's body was burned by fire, and it turned to ashes in an instant! The hanging angel above my head also crumbled into powder. There were bursts of fearful wails in the blood around me, and Yao Qianwen's body also fell to my side at this moment.

"Hey...... Hurt! ”

The fall was very heavy, but the excitement of being rescued overshadowed the pain, so Yao Qianwen grabbed my arm and got up, "Kill, kill, kill??" ”

"yes." I looked up at the scattered powder.

In the faint light, the floating angel white shadow gradually dimmed and disappeared. The wailing sound from the blood in the ground slowly faded away.

It's like those things that are hidden in the blood, they escape.

But it's strange, how do they hide in their blood? That blood seems to connect two worlds.

"Whew...... I'm scared to death, I'm really dying! Yao Qianwen was relieved, her body was weak, and she sat on the ground again, but her attention quickly shifted to me, "Hey, uncle......"

"Huh?"

"You're pretty good."

"What's so good?" I asked.

"I really killed these things that I couldn't catch or touch! Hey, let me ask you a question, can you really kill Sister Lan? ”

The fluorescence gradually dissipated, and Yao Qianwen's face was once again hidden in the darkness.

"Why do you ask this?"

"Curious, we are now friends of life and death, oh no, it's not the first time that we have been friends of life and death! Tell me about it? ”

"I'm fooling Zuo Yuan."

"Not like ......"

I tried to take two steps forward, but after a pause, I tilted my head slightly, looked in the direction of Yao Qianwen's voice, and asked, "It's not like what?" ”

"I don't know...... I just feel like I always have no way of knowing what you're thinking. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about incoherently." I continued forward, my hand touching the wall, which made me frown, remembering that the door was in this position when I was dragged in by my tongue. But why are there only walls left here?

"What are you looking for, uncle?"

"Door, are you going to lie here for the rest of your life?"

"Isn't the door there, what's there to find...... Besides, there are so many monsters outside the door, wait and go out again. ”

I know Yao Qianwen's thoughts, those people outside the door are dead, and she is happy.

"Some people's lives and deaths are indeed self-inflicted and unworthy of mercy. But those people outside the door, if two more survive, it may be useful in the future. ”

"Oh, you have a point...... Let's go. Listening to the voice, Yao Qianwen was reluctant to stand up, but it was too dark around, and she groped on the ground for a while, "Hey, you come and pull me, it's too dark." ”

I turned around and walked a few steps, but when I reached out, I found that I was feeling the direction of the sound, but I couldn't catch anyone's hand.

My heart sank.

Only then did I realize that driving away those monsters did not solve all the problems.

"Uncle? What are you doing? ”

Yao Qianwen spoke again. It's still in that direction, but it sounds a little far.

I took a few more steps, and then I grabbed her hand. But I'm sure there's definitely something wrong with that distance. In addition to the distance, in fact, this hand is also a bit strange.

The feeling of holding her was somewhat familiar.

But I didn't seem to have touched Yao Qianwen's hand so carefully before.

"Let's go!" I tugged hard, but suddenly I found that the strength of my wrist was amazing!

She didn't move.

At this time, Yao Qianwen's voice came again, "What are you going to do?" Oops, forget it, I'll just get up on my own, this blood is so slippery......"

Her voice is still ahead!

But this dialogue has already told me that the person I caught, not her!

Perhaps, not human.

"Wait!" I hurriedly shouted.

"Huh?" Yao Qianwen made a puzzled sound.

"You stand there and don't move, don't shout what you hear or see!"

"Huh? Uncle, what do you say......

Without waiting for Yao Qianwen's confused question, I lowered my voice and asked the owner of the hand in the darkness in front of me, "Who are you?" ”

That hand was cold.

But it's soft.

I heard her breathing, opened my mouth, and was about to speak.

But the next moment, there was a sudden light behind him! The light illuminated my front as if it were a mirror, and I saw my own illusory shadow, but I had clearly grasped a woman's hand. The light tore the shadow apart, like shattered and scattered lenses, turning into a piece of fluorescent powder.

"Oh, hunter, it seems that your troubles have been solved."

Along with the light, there was also Zuo Yuan's voice.

It was he who opened the door.

But he didn't seem to see the phantom in front of me just now.

Although I wanted to know what it was, my intuition told me that it was best not to mention this matter to Zuo Yuan. So I turned around and looked at him covered in blood, "Solved." Aren't you, too? ”

"But it's a lot of trouble, I thought you might die here, but it surprised me again. Hey, I'm a little curious, how did you find out the body of those things, in the blood on the ground? ”

I glanced at Yao Qianwen, "She said that angels will not hang themselves." ”

"Haha, you're in luck."

"Almost."

"Oh yes, and this." Zuo Yuan hooked his finger forward, and Qingyan walked over with a basket containing Lan Lan and threw it in front of me.

This is not surprising, I know that Lan Lan will not die so easily, at least not at this beginning.

After fixing the straps of the basket, we continued down the hallway.

I just glanced at the rest of the people, and there were only six missing. If so, maybe at the same time that I was pulled into that hut, Zuo Yuan thought of a way to deal with those "angels".

That's a little bit of an idea......

Without doubting Zuo Yuan's ability, I can think that the body is in the blood, and Zuo Yuan can too. I just think that the timing of his thought is quite coincidental.

Because of the decrease in the number of people in the team, now there are Zuo Yuan's people exploring the way in front and behind, and I am walking side by side with him in the middle of the team, so there is no way to communicate with Lan Lan.

Zuo Yuan paid more attention to the doors along the way this time, but the result was that the only one that could be opened was the one that Yao Qianwen had encountered. This made Zuo Yuan's expression a little strange. Not only him, but even I felt that this coincidence was a bit too far-fetched. I even asked Yao Qianwen secretly, but this guy could only give me a confused expression.

At the end of the hallway, there is a downward slope. There is a door connected to it, about five meters high and at least three meters wide. At this point, the traces of the man-made construction became very rough, so it was better to call it a hole than a door.

And at this point, there were suddenly more insect corpses on the ground.

It's those demonic locusts.

This reminds me of the previous question, why did this strange insect die on its own?

In addition to insect corpses, there are also statues here, and like those in the church, they are messengers of various chrysalis gods. It's just badly damaged, and it's piled up in a mess.

Very messy.

It's like heaping garbage.

"Why don't you leave?" Zuo Yuan stopped and looked back at me, "Are you interested in these statues?" ”

"No, I'm interested in what might exist down here." I reached out and pointed to the deep hole in front of me.

After continuing to walk for a distance, the originally wide entrance became narrow, and there were still many insect corpses, but there were many differences from before. In this location, a lot of strangely dead worms appeared. They were demonic locusts, but they had severed limbs and stump arms. A closer look at the wounds, judging by the marks of destruction, fits very well with their own palate teeth.

It is very likely that they bit each other, causing widespread death.

Before the violent death, I had a hypothesis, although the demon locust seemed to be powerful, it was mainly strong in its insect poison and feigned death. But that doesn't mean whether the demon locusts themselves are healthy or not. Weakness is the only reason that can be used to explain their violent deaths.

And now cannibalism again?

I wonder if there's something under this church that's hurting these bugs on a massive scale! It will be injured, and the serious ones will even start to attack their own kind in a frenzy! Even if they survive, they will enter a period of weakness, which will soon cause them to enter a state of suspended animation.

If this is the case, then the demonic locusts did not leave the covenant of darkness for prey or infringement.

But......

Desertion!

What is buried beneath this dark covenant that can make those terrifying monsters flee for their lives?

There are a lot of assumptions in my head......

At this time, the team suddenly stopped, and the rattlesnake that led the team at the front came to the middle and said something to Zuo Yuan, Zuo Yuan's expression was quite calm at first, but when he listened to it, his expression was a little strange. Then, go with the rattlesnake to the front of the group.

I was a little curious, so I followed.

It turned out that the cave was in another area, and the area of this area may be very large.

Why maybe? Because you can't see the whole picture here.

There are many stones, and between the boulders are inlaid with tall mirrors. The mirror is messy, surrounded by faint fluorescence, and the human face appears in the mirror, which will immediately make the mirrors around it reflect a mirror reflection, glowing with ghostly light, as illusory as a ghost.

Zuo Yuan is now standing in front of one of the mirrors, and in the mirrors all around, there are Zuo Yuan's faces, which makes me a little unsure which one is the real Zuo Yuan.

"You have a strange expression." I asked him where I was.

"Strange? Isn't it weird, don't you look at these mirrors? He turned around, and his back was all in the mirror.

I walked up to him, "Mirrors are weird, but this isn't the first time they've appeared here. ”

In the previous corridor, every few meters, a mirror appeared.

"It's a straight line, and this is a maze no matter how you look at it. I don't want to waste time. Zuo Yuan's eyes turned to Qingyan and said two words in Chinese.

Then, Qingyan began to arrange people, with red ropes tied to their bodies, to explore the way in front.

The rope was probably pulled out of the distance of less than two hundred meters, and the news came from the other end that another exit to the area had been found. It also seems to be the only exit.

It's that simple?

But it's that simple.

Zuo Yuan also felt that there was a problem, but he couldn't help but go. So, he split the group, and the first part of the group followed the red rope to the exit of this secret room, and soon the signal of arrival came. But Zuo Yuan still didn't believe it, so he divided the rest of the people into two groups again, and the second team also arrived smoothly.

Now, only me, Yao Qianwen, and Zuo Yuan, Qingyan, and Rattlesnake are left.

"It's time to go." I asked.

"You seem to be looking forward to it?" Zuo Yuan looked at me.

"I think the same as you and don't want to waste time. You're too suspicious. ”

It can be seen that Zuo Yuan's vigilance is difficult to let go.

But are the remaining people still going to be divided into batches?

He finally made the decision: "Let's go......"

And as it turned out, he was right. Walking along the red line, there were no problems at first, but in the middle of the section, the red line was somehow pressed into the gap of a mirror. The rattlesnake pulled it out, only to find that another section of the extension had split out more than a dozen ropes of the same thickness, pointing in completely different directions.

"Damn it!" Zuo Yuan had angry killing intent in his eyes, but there was nowhere to solve it.

He turned around and planned to turn back, but the red line behind him was also stuck in the mirror, and when he pulled it out, the way back was divided into dozens!

"Uncle, the corners of your mouth ...... You ......" Yao Qianwen's voice faintly drilled into my ears. I turned my head to look at her, and she was raising a hand and touching it to my face, "You, what are you smiling at secretly?" ”

"Shh I made a silent gesture and whispered in her ear, "Hold me tight for a moment, follow." ”
