Chapter 67: The Choice of Life and Death

Escorted by the ghost boys, we finally managed to retreat into the meteorite tunnel......

The ghost boy was originally a yin spirit body, but at this time, one arm was torn off, and I don't know how it was injured.

"Come back!"

I raised my whip and shouted.

The ghost boy swooped into the mountain whip.

It's really strange to say, after we retreated into the meteorite tunnel, the red-haired monsters did not chase after us and continued to attack us, but began to eat the corpses of the dead Tujia people.

It's as if their purpose is to drive us into the meteorite tunnel.

Click! Click!

The bloody scene is disgusting.

The ghost boy devoured the Yin Spirits of the Alpine Clan, and also possessed some of their memories. It once said that inside the jade, there is a mutated nematode.

I remembered the place where I saw the black-clothed leader picking the grass on the stone tower relief and countless nematodes floating around.

That place is probably inside this blue meteorite.

Walking into the jade road more than ten meters, I encountered a fork in the road, one road became three, one up, one down, and the central one stretched straight to the depths.

Because the passage is narrow, it can barely accommodate two people walking side by side.

Ahead, Gan Lan led the team to the upper passage.

Yan Xiaoying was much weaker than I imagined, and she couldn't even stand on her feet at this time, it was hard to imagine that she could still use the Bone Crushing Palm just now, beating the red-haired monster into a puddle of mud.

To be able to hold on to this point, her willpower is truly amazing.

Ignoring Yan Xiaoying's objections, I carried her on my back and followed the large army straight to the depths of the meteorite road.

Because of the people on his back and the injuries on his body, he lagged behind the large army for a long distance.

By the time we encountered the fork in the road again, there was no trace of the Tujia led by Gan Lan.

But...... In the hallway, we found a man lying on the ground.

The man's chest was cut through by the red-haired monster's sharp claws, and he bled too much and died. The blood that flowed from the wound had not yet coagulated, staining the entire jade corridor red.

The air was filled with the strong smell of blood.

I don't know how big this meteorite is, but there are many tunnels inside, extending in all directions, as if it was dug out by something.

I carried Yan Xiaoying on my back and kept looking for the traces of Ganlan, but fortunately, there were blood stains on the ground, which were very obvious, and we could follow the blood trails all the way.

During this process, Yan Xiaoying on her back was silent, and when I looked back, I found that her eyes were closed, and she was unconscious because of excessive weakness.

Ten minutes later, I haven't caught up with Ganlan and them, and I can't hold on anymore at this time.

In a more spacious place, I put down Yan Xiaoying behind me and took a break.

As soon as I put her on the ground, she opened her eyes faintly, looked pale and weak, and said to me, "Tianyan...... We can't go any further with them, this place is very dangerous. ”

I frowned and looked around, I don't know what the reason was inside, the inside reflected a blue light like the sky, as bright as day.

After entering the meteorite corridor, except for the dead person who first encountered the Tujia family, there seemed to be no danger, and the strange wireworms did not appear as expected.

At least we haven't encountered it yet.

"Ganlan...... She...... There is a problem. ”

I was hesitating when Yan Xiaoying then spoke again: "I don't know why...... I feel like she's the same as before, the dead Tujia just now, do you recognize him? ”

"Who's that?"

Before, we encountered a Tujia corpse in the corridor, and because we were in a hurry, we didn't find out who it was.

"That's Ganlan's father."

Yan Xiaoying said in a deep voice: "Normally, if a person sees his father killed, he will definitely break down. But Gan Lan, as a human daughter, didn't even take away her father's body, and kept walking into the depths of the corridor for a moment, which was not reasonable at all. ”

"Do you mean...... She was also controlled by the unjust spirits of the Gaoshan Clan? I woke up and was shocked.

"It's not like an evil body, I can't figure out what the reason is for a while, but it must have something to do with the things inside this meteorite......

"Do you mean that Gan Lan deliberately brought in those Tujia people who survived? If she really has a problem, what should we do now? ”

Hearing Yan Xiaoying say this, I had no idea for a while.

"Go back the way you came, we can't stay in this place, I have a bad feeling here."

"But, those red-haired monsters are still outside......"

"Their purpose is to drive us into the meteorite, and I don't believe they will stay outside all the time......"

"Okay......"

I nodded, although I don't know why Yan Xiaoying made such a decision, but we believe in her feelings, women's feelings are generally very accurate.

After resting for a few minutes, my physical strength recovered a little, and I just wanted to carry Yan Xiaoying on my back.

But at this moment, I glanced at a sudden and saw a man quietly appearing in the corridor behind me, only a few meters away from us.

"Ganlan?"

I could never have imagined that Gan Lan would travel silently in the corridor behind us, and she had obviously walked in front of us with the rest of the Tujia people before.

She didn't know how long she had been standing there, motionless like a wood carving, with her hair scattered, covered in blood, and looking strange and hideous, as if she had changed someone.

Just when my heart was shocked, behind Ganlan, a strange voice suddenly came, and the voice was getting closer and closer.

A moment later, I saw another incredible scene.

I saw that after Ganlan, a person appeared again, and this person's appearance was even more terrifying than Ganlan, his clothes were in tatters, and there was a terrible wound on his chest that was dripping blood.

"It's him...... Ganlan's father, he ...... just now It's dead! ”

Seeing the appearance of that person clearly, goosebumps all over my body suddenly rose, and a person who was obviously dead was actually standing behind Ganlan at this time.

"It's a nematode......"

Yan Xiaoying opened her mouth, and under the blue light, she could see the wound on Ganlan's father's chest, and there were thumb-thick nematodes wriggling.

And so it was...... Look at Ganlan's face...... Red hair grew on her face...... "I don't know if it's because of the pain, Yan Xiaoying's voice trembled a little at this time."

"Where are you going?"

A cold, unforgiving voice came out of Ganlan's mouth, and she looked at us coldly, with a strange smile on her face.

"Let's go!"

I didn't answer, and picked up Yan Xiaoying and fled towards the depths of the road.

As soon as she took two steps, she heard a whistling sound behind her, thinking that Gan Lan and her father had chased after her.

At this time, Yan Xiaoying, who was on my back, twisted a little, and I took the time to turn my head to look, and found that she threw out the corpse rope and tied up Gan Lan who rushed over.

But Ganlan's father lunged at us.

"Run......

Ganlan gave up the mountain whip, and we ran all the way.

During this period, we encountered several forks in the Yong Road, and we fled in a panic, we had already lost our way, but fortunately Ganlan was blocked by Yan Xiaoying's corpse rope, and Ganlan's dead father was not fast.

Although I carried Yan Xiaoying on my back, I finally got rid of him.

But......

Having just gotten rid of Gan Lan and her dead ghost father, we didn't have time to catch our breath when we noticed many strange creatures appearing in the transparent walls on both sides of the corridor.

These creatures live inside turquoise meteorites, swimming like fish, and they are shaped like snakes, but they are transparent, have no mouths, and have sharp spines on their heads and tails.

It is the parasitic iron nematode.

There weren't many nematodes that appeared inside the surrounding walls, and we hurried by, not daring to stop.

However, the deeper we ran into the tunnel, the more creatures there were, and they seemed to smell the blood on us and chased after us.

When I turned my head, I saw that behind me were densely packed with that kind of strange creatures, they were swimming inside the blue meteorite, and their speed was not slow.

At this time, my whole body strength was almost exhausted, and unfortunately, I suddenly stepped on a pit under my feet while running, and the whole person fell to the ground with Yan Xiaoying at once.

Yan Xiaoying flew out of my back and rolled out two or three meters away.

When I struggled to get up, I saw that the strange parasites chasing behind me were approaching, and I even saw several thumb-thick wireworms burrowing through the blue rock wall to get out of it.

The nematodes that were going to come out were at my feet.

I instinctively retracted my feet, rolled to Yan Xiaoying's side on the spot, and when I helped the latter up, I found that she had injured her head in the fall just now, and she was unconscious again.

What was even more terrifying was that I found a small hole in her left hand, and a nematode was wriggling, and it had already burrowed into most of it.

"Not good!"

My face changed drastically, and I instinctively reached out and grabbed the wire worm that was about to burrow into Yan Xiaoying's body, trying to pull it out.

But the nematode is like a loach that is slippery, with a sticky/thick body/fluid on its surface, which cannot be grasped at all, let alone pulled out forcefully.

hurriedly opened Yan Xiaoying's sleeves, only to see a red vein bulging on her arm, and the veins were surging, constantly crawling towards the roots.

I was sweating profusely, and there was nothing I could do, and what was even more terrifying was that the army of nematodes behind me had already caught up.

At this time, I could have left Yan Xiaoying alone and fled for my life, but for several days of life and death, how could I leave her here and leave alone?

Seeing the dense number of nematodes surrounding us, I already had the scene of countless nematodes burrowing into my body and Yan Xiaoying's body.

I laughed miserably, and although we got the fruit of the ghost lantern, we didn't expect to die here.

And the most terrible thing now is not death, but after death, our flesh will be manipulated by parasites and become cruel and bloodthirsty red-haired monsters.

Seeing that there was no hope of survival, I took out the mountain whip and was about to smash it into Yan Xiaoying's head, and then commit suicide, so as not to be tortured by ten thousand insects before I died.

It takes a lot of courage to make a life-and-death decision, but I have no other choice at this time.

Maybe it was the pain in her arm that made Yan Xiaoying wake up and turn around, and when she saw me raising a whip to smash her head, she smiled at me slightly, without the slightest fear or blame in her eyes, and wrapped her arms around my calves, closing her eyes and waiting for death.

"Don't worry, you and I can still be companions on the Huangquan Road, and we won't be lonely."

I muttered to myself, closed my eyes and slammed down the whip.

But at this time, my hand holding the mountain whip suddenly tightened, and it was held by a strong palm.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a person standing in front of him, he was dressed in black, his face was as cold as a knife, it was Lin Miao who said before that he would wait for us to go out on the fifth floor of the stone tower......
