Chapter 192: Strange Creature
Zhang Xiaohu's body floated in a vast space, and the surroundings were extremely silent, all of which were demonic red light. There was not a single figure to be seen around him! Everyone doesn't know where they have gone. There was an invisible buoyancy in the air acting on him, and he struggled hard, but he could not move his body. Blood continued to spill from the wound in the palm of his hand, forming large and small red balls, floating up and down with each other.
Where did everyone else go, and why is it only themselves? Where is this? How did I end up here? Zhang Xiaohu wondered in his heart, not long ago, the group of them stepped into the passage under the white giant gate, and the entrance behind them was closed, and the red light of the demon in the passage was great, he just closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, the surroundings became like this.
He took out gauze from the backpack behind him and bandaged his wound briefly to prevent excessive blood loss. He glanced at the watch on his wrist, the oxygen content was sufficient, and he didn't have to worry about suffocation for the time being. Could it be that this is the serum bank, how can it be like this, it looks a little like the universe, and there is no object around it at all, only red light floating around.
Time passed minute by minute, his predicament has not been alleviated, if according to the display on the watch, he has been floating here alone for five hours, the original sufficient oxygen, only 32% of the content, although it can still be used for a long time, but if you can't think of a solution, it is still a dead end.
Zhang Xiaohu controlled his mind and tried to calm himself down. The more you are in this kind of crisis, the more you must not panic, and if you want to survive and overcome difficulties, you must first have a calm and thoughtful mind.
He looked left and right, completely unaware of any changes around him. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the helmet. He quickly patted his helmet, and an intermittent voice sounded, "Yes...", "Can you...", "Listen...", "I...", and after the sound was disturbed, it was completely impossible to identify whose voice it was.
He flapped his helmet repeatedly, hoping to pick up the sounds again, but no matter how much he flapped, he couldn't pick up any more sounds.
Since he set foot on the B continent, Zhang Xiaohu has only eaten some fruits in the dragon people's village, and his stomach has long been empty at this time. He had to eat as quickly as possible, and he remembered that he still had some food in his backpack, so he removed it and prepared to look for food inside. However, as soon as he opened his backpack, he found that it was the map and the box containing the blue stones, and he remembered that he had already returned these things to Y87564-2, so how could they appear in his backpack again. He was a little dazed, and first opened the map, which was blank and did not show anything. It's right to think that this map was made by Y87564-2, but he hasn't been in this place, and he doesn't know anything about the situation here, so how can he write it on the map.
Zhang Xiaohu put away the map, picked up the wooden box again, and after opening it, the original blue stone had undergone an amazing change, it turned brownish-red, and lost its original blue luster. But what was even more strange was that it began to absorb the red light around it, and countless red lights merged into thin red lines, zigzag into the stone. The stone that had been black and abrupt became crystal clear again. In the center of the stone, a tiny red dot appeared, as if it were alive, constantly changing and spreading. After only four or five minutes, the red dot had taken on an irregular triangle, and then a slight crack appeared in the stone, as if the red inside was about to burst out.
Zhang Xiaohu was worried that the stone would really explode, so he hurriedly closed the box, but he was still a step too slow, and the stone split in half, and a gelatinous red substance appeared inside. These substances twisted and flipped in the void in front of Zhang Xiaohu.
Of course, Zhang Xiaohu didn't dare to touch these unknown things, but felt that he should try to stay away from these strange things. He carefully took out a brass tube from his backpack, which was a retractable life-saving tube, which could reach up to 10 meters long, but it had been kept in the backpack and had no chance to use it.
The telescopic life-saving tube slowly approached the red gelatinous object, and the two sides were about to make contact. Suddenly, those gelatinous objects sensed the changes around them, quickly wrapped the telescopic life-saving tube, and quickly spread towards Zhang Xiaohu on it.
Zhang Xiaohu quickly let go of his hand, and just before the red gelatinous object touched him, he threw away the telescopic lifetube.
The retractable life-saving tube was melted away by the red gelatinous substance in just a few breaths. The volume of the red substance had expanded by a factor of ten. It becomes more eerie and terrifying. The distance between it and Zhang Xiaohu is only a dozen centimeters. Soon, though, it quieted down, turning into a large red orb floating in the air.
Zhang Xiaohu was terrified, these substances in front of him were the life-killing sword hanging over his head, and he didn't know when it would take his life.
He looked at his backpack, there were still some miscellaneous things in it, he tried to take out the water bottle from the backpack with his right hand, but as soon as his body moved, the red substance that had turned into a ball quickly changed, twisting and moving forward in the void, and the target was Zhang Xiaohu's right hand.
Zhang Xiaohu immediately controlled his body and became still, and sure enough, those red substances gradually quieted down, and the two sides entered a strange confrontation again, one side could move, but could not move, and the other side was waiting for the other party's action, and then preemptively.
Zhang Xiaohu was inside the helmet, trying to control his breathing, for fear that his body would make big movements with his breathing. He now regrets very much, why did he open the wooden box when he had nothing to do! And at the first moment when the stone changes, why not hurry up and close it? In this world, there have been countless lessons before, "curiosity kills cats", why don't you remember it for a long time! always criticizes Zhao Zixuan, in fact, he is also too curious......
Damn it! Damn it! He cursed in his heart. But remorse is remorse, and the matter still has to be resolved. If this stalemate continues, he doesn't know what will happen to the other party, but he will definitely have only a dead end.
What was that red substance, he instinctively felt that the other party must be conscious, but it had been hiding in the blue stone before, why didn't there be any other changes.
He thought again that all these changes came from the demonic red light around him, where did these lights come from, and what substances they contained, he felt that there were too many things he didn't know.
Suddenly, a white box floated out of the backpack automatically, and he realized that his backpack was still open, and the contents were affected by buoyancy and began to float out according to their weight and size.
The red gelatinous substance devoured greedily, and it easily digested the white box, and then immediately wrapped the next, and then the next. It grew larger and larger, and soon had a basketball-sized size. Numerous tiny tentacles appeared on its surface, and it became more and more like a real creature, having begun to evolve its own organs.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohu's watch made an alarm sound, and the red warning light flashed rapidly.
Zhang Xiaohu secretly said "It's broken", he was worried that the red substance in front of him would feel the changes in sound and light and pounce on his arm, but his worry became a different situation.
The next moment the red gelatinous substance came into contact with the light, as if it had received a mortal threat, it writhed wildly, writhed in the opposite direction, and fled. There are a lot of red silk threads spilling out of the gelatinous substance.
Zhang Xiaohu didn't know what was happening, but he knew that life and death were between this line, and he must not let the red substance escape, otherwise when it recovered, it would be himself who was unlucky, he instantly turned on the light on his shoulder and shot it straight towards the red substance.
