There was an accident in the stone chamber

The moths are so confused

It is not a human being who moves, or more precisely, it is not a living person who moves, but the twelve ghostly virgin bronze corpses above our heads. Just as I raised my eyes and forgot about it, the dozen or so female corpses that had fallen quietly in the air began to shake unconsciously.

There is no wind, and there is not even a trace of wind in this stone room at this time, but why do these female corpses swing on their own without wind?

"What's wrong?" Seeing my surprised expression, Zhang Chengyong couldn't help but raise his eyes and look up while asking.

And just when he raised his head, the bronze corpse closest to the top of Zhang Chengyong's head suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed at the top of his head.

"Be careful!" In front of this scene, I didn't care about the pain in my body, and raised my foot to aim at Zhang Chengyong's chest. Hearing only a bang, Zhang Chengyong was kicked by me and sat on the ground, and then he rolled backwards to avoid four or five meters away. However, although this kick was timely, but the strength was a little smaller after all, and when Zhang Chengyong stood up again, I saw three more scratches on his shoulder, although the wound was not deep, but the blood had stained his clothes.

"Are you alright?" I asked hurriedly.

"It's okay! Skin trauma! Zhang Chengyong spat and scolded: "Grandma's! What's that? ”

"I don't know! The movement was so fast that I could just see the gray-brown hair on this guy's arms. I don't know exactly what it is. I struggled to my feet and reached for the dagger in my waist, but when my hand reached to my waist, I found that there was nothing there, so I shouted, "I said Lao Zhang, where is my knife?" ”

"I confiscated it!" Zhang Chengyong said and threw over a handful of tiger teeth, and scolded with a smile: "You are still aggressive even after you are fucking unconscious, Xiaomei and I want to check whether you have any injuries, but you almost sent me and Xiaomei to see the king of Hades, there is no way, the two of us have to confiscate your tiger teeth temporarily." ”

"Grandma's! It must be that you want to take advantage of Lao Tzu and my coma, if it's not good, how can I kill you. Although the two of us kept talking, our eyes kept observing the situation around us.

And at this time, I vaguely noticed that more than a dozen pairs of blood-red light appeared on the shoulders of the twelve female corpses, which flickered and flickered, like the tail of a firefly, and like the bloodthirsty and charming eyes of a vampire bat.

"It's a bat?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Probably not! The moment that guy attacked you just now, I felt that its height and body length were at least about two meters, and there is absolutely no bat in this world that can grow so big. I said, shaking my head.

"But these guys' eyes look like bats!" Zhang Chengyong gritted his teeth and said. "Come on! No matter what it is, I'm going to kill today! As he spoke, Zhang Chengyong waved the tiger teeth in his hand and made a posture of charging into battle.

"Can't be beaten!" At this time, Xiaomei on the side said suddenly. "Now I have to think about how I can get out of here."

"Why can't you fight?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Because these guys are ......," Xiaomei said, looking at the red dots that were still vague and full of greed, "because these guys are mothmen!" ”

"Mothman? What is that? Hearing Xiaomei's words, Zhang Chengyong and I couldn't help but ask in unison.

"It's a creature that lives in legends! I also only heard my grandfather tell me stories about the Mothman when I was very young! Xiaomei said as she picked up a piece of firewood from the fire, and shook it violently in the air a few times, and the blood-red light that was originally eyeing each other instantly became hidden, and it seemed that they were very afraid of the fire, which is why they have not attacked us until now. Waving her torches, Xiaomei led me and Zhang Chengyong to the wall on the left, and then continued: "These mothmen are creatures that live in the dark, their heads are as big as buckets, their eyes are like red lights, and their shoulders are almost on the same level as their heads, so they look like they have eyes on their chests. They are about 1.8 to 2 meters tall and have arms as long as apes, and have wings like clothes moths under their armpits, which make a buzzing sound when they fly, so people who have seen them call them moths. However, despite the word "human", these guys are not human, they just have a human-like appearance. Most of these guys live in ancient tombs and live by sucking fear. What these guys are best at is controlling people's minds, creating illusions, and inducing fear, the reason why Tianyi was able to bring us here just now, and poisoned himself, is probably the ghost of these guys. ”

"Grandma's! It turned out to be these guys doing the trick! I scolded.

"But why can't we fight them to the death?" Zhang Chengyong, who has always been aggressive, asked.

"Because you can't see it!" Xiaomei gritted her teeth and said: "The prototype of the night demons and nightmares in many foreign religions is these moth people, because these guys can be invisible, and when they are invisible, only their companions can see each other, and we can't see each other." Fighting an invisible enemy, do you think you have a chance of winning? ”

"Uncle's! What is the best of now? Zhang Chengyong scolded.

"Now it seems that the only weakness of these guys is the fear of fire, maybe we can run out and get rid of them based on that!" I said.

"But where should we flee?" Zhang Chengyong asked. "When I came, Xiaomei and I have walked many times, and it is a maze inside, we can't get out at all, and there is no light at all! Staying here is either trapped alive or used as a snack by these guys. If that's the case, I'd rather rush into the maze and try it once. ”

"That stone road is a labyrinth?" I looked at the two of them and asked curiously.

"Yes!" Xiaomei nodded and said.

"You've tried a lot?" I asked again.

"Yes! We tried many times! Xiaomei still answered very succinctly.

"How many times?" I asked.

"Thirty-seven times!" Xiaomei replied.

"Haven't been out once?" I asked.

"Yes! I didn't go out once, and once I almost died inside. If ......" Xiaomei said and paused, "If Brother Yong hadn't suddenly seen it and followed you here, it is estimated that the two of us would have died inside!" ”

"Okay!" Although I said this, an indescribable sense of loss arose in my heart. After entering this ancient tomb, although I have felt the taste of death and waiting for death more than once, but now when I have to face death again, the indescribable fear and haze of loss in my heart still cannot be removed.

", what's that?" Just when I was trying to get rid of the sadness in my mind, Zhang Chengyong on the side suddenly scolded.

"What's wrong?" I asked hurriedly.

"I don't know what fell on my neck." Zhang Chengyong stretched out his hand and touched his neck, while looking up, but there was nothing on it, and when he spread out his hand to look, he found that there were inexplicably more colors in his hand. "What is this? Where does the pigment come from? ”

"Paint?" Hearing Zhang Chengyong's words, I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head back and looked back, and then, I suddenly shouted happily, "Hahaha!" Now God doesn't want to accept a few of us to return to our places! ”

"What's wrong? What did you find? Zhang Chengyong said and turned around.

"Look!" As I spoke, I pointed to a place not far from Zhang Chengyong's head.

At this time, a piece of paint in this place has begun to melt slowly under the high temperature of the torch, and another mural that was originally hidden under the ground is revealed little by little. And the part that leaked out at this time depicts the scene of how Wang Yuan was forced to accept the construction of the Yuk Tomb and how he created an escape path for himself.

"Is this Wang Yuan building an escape passage for himself?" Zhang Chengyong said excitedly.

"That's right! The material of these murals is apparently specially treated by Wang Yuan, and it melts whenever it encounters a higher temperature. Xiaomei, raise the torch a little higher! As I spoke, I lifted Xiaomei's elbow and tried to raise her torch so that I could see the contents of the stone wall.

However, at this time, the torch in Xiaomei's hand was extinguished at once after making a few abnormal noises of "poof". And to the surprise of a few of us, at the same time, the fire in the center of the stone chamber was suddenly extinguished at this time.

Darkness, sudden darkness, darkness as thick as ink, came to us like the goddess of death in an instant.

It's silent, but it's scary, it's suffocating, it's painful.

There were no chaotic shouts, no hoarse shouts, just cozy blood-red points of light flying towards us.

The wind, mixed with rancid and bloody scents, flew past me, beside me, and overhead, and the creatures moved so fast that I barely had time to react.

The only thing I could feel at this time was pain, a kind of primitive pain when the claws scratched the skin, a piercing pain.

Pain can sometimes make people lose their minds, but sometimes it can also make people more calm and awake. What I need at this time is calmness, because calmness is my only hope for survival. It was this calmness that allowed me to grab the hand of the guy in front of me when I was grabbed by a sharp claw on my chest.

Hands, perhaps not hands, more accurately claws.

Emaciated, cold, with skin like an old man, lifeless, parched and full of wrinkles. But I wasn't in the mood to get a closer look at what this guy was like. The most important thing I want to do at this moment is to kill the guy in front of me.

It's a primitive thought, a life-and-death thought, a thrill to survive, a bloodthirsty impulse.

I didn't think much about it, I waved the tiger tooth in my hand, and stabbed this guy in the neck three times.

The knife is very fast, and the lower part of the hand is not crooked, and it is very accurate.

I felt its blood splattering all over me, cold, without a hint of temperature.

However, I know that it is dead, because it is no longer moving, which was struggling with it.

I took a deep breath, and I wanted to stand up and call out to Zhang Chengyong and them to see how they were.

But at this moment, the entire stone room suddenly lit up. The light was still the fire, but what I didn't expect at all was that at the moment the fire was lit, I saw a person, a person I was holding onto, a person who was originally my best friend.

Zhang Chengyong, who was already lying in a pool of blood at this time, was stabbed three times in the neck.
