Chapter Ninety-One: The Bone Corridor

The stone door was wide open, and the stone walls on both sides shone with a faint light. The passage was wide, and as it walked towards it, the sound of footsteps echoing through the space around it, but suddenly, it stopped.

What stops the footsteps is the smell.

It is the taste of the king worm! It reappeared, more intensely than every time it had appeared before! And not just intense. Its smell was constant, permeating the air, and to every corner, it would roll over my body as I moved.

Follow my breath, into my lungs, and then all over my body.

Is it that weird thing that seems to be a witch?

Apparently not......

Its smell doesn't last that long.

It won't be so "pure".

On top of that, I also smelled a special sensation in the smell.

Like countless burrs, burrowing into the invisible crevices between my skin, silently, when found, it has invaded you. You can't get enough of that pain.

This pain, like time.

I struggled to find the words to describe it, depression, loneliness, anger, despair......

The sudden beating of the golden heart pulled me back to reality before the sensation completely engulfed my soul. I breathed heavily, and it felt as if the shell had been hollowed out once.

"What's in there?" Looking at it, I was a little scared.

But I still walked towards it.

That feeling kept trying to invade me, the golden heart, but it beat faster and faster. Its beating made me feel real, and with reality, it destroyed depression and loneliness. But it's too difficult, after all, what I'm really doing at the moment is that I'm alone.

Fortunately, there seems to be a limit to that feeling as well.

And in my body, the insect venom mucus is constantly circulating, and the kind of experience that makes me uncomfortable and depressed has also faded a lot.

"So, is this also evolution?" I guess.

But maybe not, it's just a simple adaptation of the body. After all, there is a lot of potential for habits, and I am a person who is used to getting used to it. This wide road gradually became narrower, and the picture in front of me once again became a wormhole-like tunnel similar to Moshan. Only this time, there is only one tunnel. There is no fork in the road.

But this single tunnel is far more difficult than choosing a fork in the road.

Because......

The road ahead was paved with bones.

"Bone Corridor, is this it......" I stopped, threw Mina's lighting device into the distance, and soon, I hit the stone slab at the end of the corridor. The road is not very long, only about 20 meters. The end seems to be sealed, but it's hard to say if there is a mechanism on the slate.

After all, Mina said that at the end of this "bone corridor", there is a secret.

And the source of the strong smell that is very similar to the king insect also comes from here.

"Is it poison? Or some other reason. Why, you guys are dying here. "I didn't get in the first place, I was afraid of death, so many people died in it, I didn't think I wouldn't be much different from them. But I want to know more about the reason why they died inside.

I crouched on the ground, in front of the border of the "Corridor of Bones", looking at the closest piece of my skull, with the eye sockets facing in my direction, and the moment I crouched, it was as if we were looking at each other.

My gaze gradually moved forward, sweeping over all the bones I could see.

Suddenly I noticed a strange thing.

"Did you really go in naked? Why is the floor covered with bones, but there is no clothing? ”

"Also, there were insect corpses all the way before, more or less, but when I got to this level, it was a little weird to be clean. Those worms, have they never been here? ”

"I got it......"

The legend is false, it is not at all that if you go in, you will start thinking, and if you don't go out, you won't go, and you will starve yourself to death. It's corrosion, there's something here, that's going to attack you when you cross that border, or it's going to attack again after a while, and that ability to attack is similar to ......

Zuo Yuan's Blood Gu!

There are the most bones at the border, and although there are many of them extending inward, they are not as thick, and I don't know if it's because of the distance, the white bones on the inside look newer.

Most will be attacked when they come in, and a few will be attacked before leaving.

It's just that it is impossible to prove whether anyone here has left alive. But I didn't quite believe what Mina said, no one had ever come out of the tunnel. Because I think that the road in front of me, for the vast majority of people, may not even have the courage to walk in.

And those legends are mostly from the mouths of such people.

I tried to reach in and cross the boundaries of the "Corridor of Bones", but after a long time, nothing unusual appeared.

I threw a few more rocks into it.

Still no movement.

"Don't you don't scatter eagles when you don't see rabbits?"

It seems to be a bit troublesome, and there are a lot of stones in the "corridor", so it should be someone who has been here before, and has also tried to see if there is a mechanism. But it may not have worked out.

"It looks like we need to spend some money." I pulled out the dagger, ripped off the sleeves of the devotees' clothes, cut the sleeves into strips, and tied them into a rope, about ten meters long. Then, gritting his teeth and reluctantly cutting off a piece of flesh from his calf, he tied the meat to one end of the rope with a stone, squeezing the blood out of that end.

Then I threw the piece of meat as far as I could.

Nothing happened.

Little by little, I pulled it back, and as the flesh moved, I heard a faint sound in my ears, and I seemed to have heard it.

I quickly remembered what it was.

It is the kind of sound that I faintly heard in my ears at the moment when I first felt the existence of the mucus insect poison insect in the Moshan wormhole.

Same.

This place is too similar to the Moshan Wormhole, and from the moment I came to the periphery of this church, I already had that feeling. However, compared with the Moshan wormhole, there is a strange "small" feeling, as if this is an incomplete wormhole.

"Huh?"

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly noticed that the meat was missing from my hand.

I quickly withdrew the rope from my hand, the stone was still there, but the flesh was gone. The blood-stained part of the cloth is almost completely gone, and it should also be "corroded" along with the flesh. It looks very dangerous, but for some reason, the rest of the cloth in my hand always gives me an inexplicably unreasonable feeling.

But this kind of unreasonableness can't find the problem for a while.

And the more important problem is how to adapt to evolution if the tunnel corrodes so fast.

Mina was right, if she died, she wouldn't have a chance to adapt. But if I don't get into here and don't grasp the proportions, maybe I will become such a white skeleton in an instant.

After thinking about it, I finally realized that I didn't have to go in at all.

Now it's more important to find the eye-piercing thing and rescue Mina from it. It may be very difficult, if not impossible, but it is much better than this mortal situation.

Why should I waste my time here?

"Forget it, Bone Corridor, you have nothing to do with me." With that, I turned around and prepared to leave, but the golden heart beat hard.

That's a foreknowledge of danger.

It's weird, I tried to get into this deadly passage, and the Golden Heart never gave me any special signal, but I wanted to leave, but it stopped me.

Is it a coincidence?

No.

The heart of gold, there has never been a coincidence. It's like my gut feeling, I believe.

So I hesitated. I didn't really walk back to that path, but turned my back to the tunnel and listened carefully, trying to catch the sound that resembled the wriggling of insects. However, it is not heard.

"It seems to be not exactly the same as Moshan insect venom." I turned my head and my eyes fell on the half-blooded rope.

Suddenly, my mind was struck like lightning!

Quickly crouched, grabbed the rope, and then quickly moved his gaze to the white bones piled up in the tunnel, the layers of white bones, from near to far, from high to bottom, and old and new......

I finally figured out why I didn't think it was reasonable before.

This tunnel has an entry and no exit. I can't pull at a rate that "corrodes" like it, and as soon as I get close to human tissue, even the fabric will be destroyed. But the blood-stained strip of cloth was only half "corroded", why? No matter how fast I pulled back, more than ten meters, it was impossible to be pulled back in an instant.

"Corroding" a piece of meat is so fast, let alone a small strip of cloth.

So it's the boundary!

There is also a boundary, and it has been narrowing over the past decades or even centuries. It's not that this corridor kills differently, and it kills unsteadily at different moments of entry, but that its kill range is changing! To prove it, I tore my other sleeve, made the rope longer, stained the whole rope red with blood, tied the stone, and threw it at the end of the slate!

Bang!

Almost as soon as the slate crashed into the slate, my ears once again caught the sound of the worm's venom wriggling!

The tip of the blood-stained cloth strip dissolves rapidly and disappears at a speed visible to the naked eye! But what disappears is only the front end of the strip of cloth! About three meters from the stone gate!

That's the final killing area!

Retracting the strip of cloth and looking at the white bones under my feet, I lifted one of my legs and stepped on it fiercely!

The sound of shattering and rubbing between the white bones echoed throughout the space, and I moved forward step by step, my heart was always beating fast, but the golden heart was unusually stable. And "corrosion" is also a kind of non-existent.

I ended up in the area before the strip of cloth disappeared.

Stretching out a finger forward, the moment the finger crossed the line, I actually had a sense of penetration, as if there was an invisible wall in front of me, and when I crossed that layer and touched the air in the "wall", a sense of depression suddenly flashed in my heart, very dull, as if I was falling into hell and never turning over.

But soon, the intense pain brought me back to my senses, and when I withdrew my hand, all that was left was Senbai's bones.

The pain, like the flames of hell, spread from the flesh and bones of the right hand to the whole body.

I finally struggled to support my body and leaned back, sinking deep in my bones.
