Chapter 119: Faceless Beast
Therefore, the solid line plus the circle represents the safe line, and the dotted line plus the circle represents a certain danger, but the danger is not great.
As for the serpentine mark, needless to say, it is already very clear.
According to the complete map, of the three roads, only the middle road leads directly to the central Lock Demon Lake, and the other two waterways, without exception, are connected to a slightly smaller body of water.
For example, the waterway on the right is connected to the Lock Demon Lake, and the waterway on the left is connected to a waterhole, and the Lock Demon Lake has mermaids, and the waterhole is the nest of the two-headed water lizard. We deserve to be unlucky, the proposition of choosing one of the three, we chose it twice, and we were all wrong, if we chose the central road at the beginning, it is estimated that we have turned a few times back and forth in the lock demon lake.
While sighing in my heart, I also raised vigilance in my heart. The nearby caves marked with triangles must not be considered, and although the cave shown on the map is marked with a circle, it is not a circle plus a solid line, but a circle and a dotted line, which means that it will not be smooth sailing through this cave.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but start worrying about the safety of the Taoist priests, if they didn't think of the problem I just thought of, if they were unprepared, if they encountered an accident, they would definitely suffer!
I voiced my concerns, and the doctor patted me and said it was okay, with that tsundere turtle around, they would be fine.
I thought about it, too, before all of us were caught in the mermaid's way, fell into an illusion, only it and the third child were not affected, and took the opportunity to escape, with it, I should not worry about the Taoist priests, but ourselves.
Our luggage was all on the boat, there was no self-defense, no lighting, and the situation in the cave in front of us was uncertain, and everyone including me was a little worried.
Sister Bailing and the doctor each have a mobile phone, Sister Bailing is more traditional, and her current mobile phone is also temporarily given to her by the Taoist, which is our only light source.
We sorted out the formation, Sister Bailing held a mobile phone to explore the path in front, and Yang Laodao, who was in a good state, followed behind her, and in case of an emergency, he could support in time. The doctor and I walked at the back, firstly to light the front, and secondly, to make the two girls in the middle of the line feel safe by staying at the back of the road.
After getting ready, the group ventured into the narrow, dark cave in front of them.
The space in the cave is not large, not so much a cave, but a crack in the interior of the mountain, the head is not high, but the width is only enough for one and a half people to pass through, if the fat person is definitely stuck in it and cannot move.
The narrow space, the slippery rock walls, and the oppressive darkness make people feel a sense of suffocation in their hearts.
The cave is far longer than I imagined, and I estimated that I had walked into it for more than a hundred meters, but there was still no intention of reaching the end in front of me, and I couldn't see anything else in the cave except for the mobile phone lights of Sister Bailing and the doctor.
According to the signs on the map, there should be danger in the cave, but after walking for so long, nothing happened, which can't help but make me a little confused, is it because I misunderstood, the dotted line and circle represent not the meaning I thought?
Just as I was thinking about it, a drop of water suddenly fell on my head, and I was stunned, subconsciously stopped, touched my wet hair with my hand, and looked up.
When the doctor saw that I stopped suddenly, he thought something was wrong, so he called me and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
I touched the sticky liquid on the top of my head, wondered, and muttered, "There's something dripping on top of my head!" ”
Hearing me say this, the doctor thought that the seepage from the mountain gap was dripping on my head, so he breathed a sigh of relief, patted me on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, we are inside the mountain, it's normal to have water seepage, don't think about it, follow quickly." ”
As he spoke, he didn't give me a chance to continue talking, and pushed me on, pushing the viscous liquid on my hand, and although I was very puzzled, I still followed along, but I always felt that something was wrong in my heart.
As I continued to move forward, I wondered what was wrong, and after thinking about it, I suddenly understood, and finally knew what was wrong, my grandmother, just now, when I was talking to the doctor, there was a person behind the doctor.
A penetrating chill brushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, I almost suffocated, I was absolutely not mistaken, there was clearly a person behind the doctor just now, and it was none other than Wang Xiao, just because the mucus on the top of my head attracted all my attention, and behind the doctor were acquaintances in the team, I didn't immediately notice the abnormality.
However, the person behind the doctor can't be Wang Xiaoyi, because the real Wang Xiao is walking in front of me at this moment, how can he appear behind the doctor?
In an instant, I felt all the hairs on my body explode, and I immediately stopped and turned around violently......
The imaginary face following the doctor did not appear, it was pitch black behind the doctor, and nothing could be seen, but the doctor was startled by my sudden turn of the face, and asked me what was wrong?
Although I didn't see the face behind the doctor, the diffused light faintly reflected a blurry outline behind him, and my scalp exploded, and I almost jumped in fright.
"Hell......"
I screamed, pointed to the doctor's back and retreated, until I stepped on Wang Xiao's length, before I stopped, and I made such a fuss, the people in front of me also stopped at this time, and Sister Bailing's mobile phone shone backwards.
In the faint light, I could see the shadow hidden behind the doctor at a glance, and sure enough, it was really the face of the king.
This scared me almost crazy, at this time the doctor also reacted, his face changed, he turned around suddenly, and the phone shone back, in the chaos, I only felt a change in light and shadow, as if a shadow flashed, but unfortunately I was completely frightened at this time, and I couldn't see clearly.
The doctor turned around, paused for a few seconds, then turned around with a puzzled face, looked at me and asked, "Where is the ghost?" ”
I pointed behind him in a panic: "Right behind you, right ...... you"
After saying half a sentence, I was stunned, only to see that there was nothing behind the doctor, it was empty, and the 'Wang Xiaoyi' just now disappeared out of thin air.
The doctor asked me helplessly what was going on, and I was also confused at this time, so I hurriedly looked behind the doctor, but the thing was really gone.
I was confused, and I said that I was wrong, no, I saw it so real just now, it couldn't be an illusion, and how could I be wrong twice in a row?
I still didn't believe it, so I turned around and asked the others: "You guys, just now, did you see a person who looks exactly like Wang Daochang, right behind the doctor?" ”
Including Wang Xiao, everyone shook their heads, I still couldn't believe it, but I didn't know how to explain it, and I was so anxious that I couldn't even speak.
The doctor saw that my face was green, so he comforted me and said, "Maybe my spirit is too tense all the way, you are wrong, if there is really something, Wang Daochang is so close to you, you can see it, he will definitely be able to see it." ”
As he spoke, he came over to help me, and with his other hand, he took a picture of him with his mobile phone.
Suddenly, the doctor's expression changed suddenly, and he suddenly shouted, "There's really something, everyone get down!" ”
Before the words fell, he pounced on me and Wang Xiao, and before I could react, he had already pressed me to the ground, and almost at the moment when we fell to the ground, a strong wind swept against my hair and hit the nearby rocks with a snap.
Due to the sudden change just now, the doctor and Sister Bailing's mobile phones fell to the ground, and the whole cave suddenly became pitch black, so I couldn't see what the thing that swept over my head was, but judging from the strong wind brought by that thing, it was definitely a big guy.
The doctor's voice rang out as the wind swept by: "Watch out on the top of your head, there's something on it, people in front, watch out behind you......"
Before he could fully shout his words, I don't know who had already picked up the phone, and a bright light appeared in the cave again, and then the doctor's frightened scream was heard from the front: "Ah! Hell ......"
I heard the voice, it was from Lin Qiaoer, I was anxious, and I couldn't care about being afraid, I saw that the doctor's mobile phone fell not far from me, I hurriedly picked it up, and took a photo above my head.
For a moment, my throat cramped with fright, and I wanted to scream, but I couldn't make a sound, only to see a swarm of lizard-like things crawling on the rocks above the cave.
Their size is very huge, their skin is almost exactly the same as the rocks around the cave, and the most creepy thing is that their faces are exactly the same as ours, not only the long face of Wang Xiao that I saw just now, but also my own face, I have seen more than three.
I was not the only one who noticed this horrific scene, I heard the screams of the girls in horror, and many gasps.
At this moment, our own faces stared at us with a very strange smile, and we stared at them in horror, and we stared at each other with big eyes, and we didn't dare to move because of fear, but those monsters were lying motionless on the stones for some reason, and the atmosphere was not weird for a while.
This situation didn't last long, after a moment of stalemate with us, the strange faces above began to change, and I saw a face that originally looked exactly like me squirming like pinching plasticine, squirming rapidly, and finally turned into Lin Qiao'er's face, which scared me so much that I almost screamed out loud.
Fortunately, another voice interrupted my horror in time, it was the voice of the king Daochang, who, after seeing the monster's changing face, exclaimed: "Oh my God, is this the legendary Faceless Beast?" ”
Before I could think about what a faceless beast was, the monsters above my head seemed to be frightened by the king's chief, and suddenly there was a sound like a baby crying, and then all the 'faces' turned into a flat surface with no facial features in an instant, like a flat stone.
Seeing the changes in those monsters, Wang Daochang's face changed, and he exclaimed again: "It's not good, they're angry, run, be careful with their tongues." ”
The exclamation of the king was like a catalyst, which aroused the fear in everyone's hearts, and we couldn't take care of it anymore, everyone got up and ran away.
Just as the doctor and I stood up and were about to slip away, a strong wind blew in, and I was prepared, and I fell to the side of the cave, and suddenly a long tongue the thickness of an arm swept like a whip over the place where I had stood, and slammed into the rock, and finally slammed on the rock wall, and slapped the stone the size of my head.
I saw that my scalp was numb, and I suddenly remembered the scene I saw at the bay of Yinyugou, when the tongue monster that swept away the corpse on the shore was probably this kind of faceless beast!
Taking advantage of the gap when my tongue fluttered in the air, I didn't dare to stop at all, so I ran away.
Fortunately, the tongue was powerful, but it was not flexible, and the faceless beasts clinged to the rocks and only attacked us, but they did not actively pursue us, and it didn't take long for us to get out of the crisis completely.
I gasped and felt like my heart was going to jump out, it was exciting. I looked around and saw that everyone was about the same as me, they were all tired enough, and although they hadn't even come out of the cave, they all sat down.
No one urged us, so we acquiesced to resting in place, and in this gap, I asked the king what a faceless beast is?
I was not the only one who was curious, and when I asked at this time, the rest of the people also came over, and Wang Xiao was a kind person, so he told us about the Faceless Beast.
"The Faceless Beast is a kind of strange beast recorded in the Daozang, neither human nor ghost, neither demon nor demon, with a body like a lizard and no face, and can change a thousand faces."
Hearing this, Lin Qiao'er asked with a puzzled expression: "Dao Chief, the Faceless Beast, since it is a Faceless Beast, how can it turn into our face, it scared me to death just now!" Lin Qiao'er said, as if she remembered the situation just now, and her face turned pale.
Wang Daochang smiled and said: "Faceless and faceless, all living beings have a hundred faces, this is a Buddhist saying, but it is true, Daozang records, the faceless beast has a docile temperament, will record what it sees and is interested in, and then imitate and change into the appearance of this thing, and when it is angry, it will change back to the faceless appearance, and the faceless beast at that time will show its ferocious scene, just now we were also lucky, not swept by its tongue, otherwise it will immediately become a delicious meal in its belly." ”
