Five Realms of Reincarnation Chapter 16 The Mask Lair

After the light source in the stone cave disappeared, the whole door fell into darkness, and I could only rely on the impression of the light source disappearing for a moment to find Shen Muhan, grab her hand and walk down the steps. The liquid inside had already overflowed out of the door, and I could even hear the sound of water flowing from behind, and I dragged Shen Muhan to keep speeding up.

The steps were already very narrow, plus they were very slippery, and one of them fell unsteadily on the steps, and the two of them rolled down the steps together, I held Shen Muhan in my arms as much as possible, and pressed my face to her chest with one hand to protect the back of her head to reduce the bump of the steps. However, this action deprived me of a chance to protect myself, and every time I rolled, I slammed the back of my head on the steps, and my whole head buzzed.

I don't know how many times I rolled, I finally felt a flat ground behind me, and a warm feeling on my face came from top to bottom, I touched the sticky one with my hand, eighty percent of it was broken, and the whole head was wooden, and I didn't even know that it was bleeding. I let go of Shen Muhan and sat up and groped around, and finally touched the air cylinder and oxygen mask.

The sound of the water behind him was getting closer and closer, and his eyes were dark and he finally helped Shen Muhan put on his equipment, but he didn't have time to tidy up his own, so he put the mask on his face and jumped into the water with Shen Muhan in one hand and the gas cylinder in the other, swimming out desperately.

A slight burning sensation came from the legs, and the corrosive liquid finally flowed down the steps into the water. The wetsuit already has a certain corrosion resistance, and the corrosiveness of those liquids has been reduced a lot by diluting those liquids twice, so it shouldn't corrode us for a while. However, the diving gloves have not known where they have been lost, and the corrosive liquid is still pouring in, and the concentration will definitely get higher and higher, and the hand will definitely not be able to hold it.

I was still holding a gas cylinder in my hand, and the space in the cave was so small that I couldn't carry it on my back, so I had to push forward with my feet on the stone wall. I don't know where the diving dagger was lost, if the mask is still guarding the entrance of the cave, it doesn't even have the ability to fight back, there are interceptions in front and pursuers in the back, so I can only resign myself to fate.

I don't know if it's because the sea water is diluted or if the body has gradually adapted, the burning sensation on my legs is getting smaller and smaller, and in the end I can't feel it anymore, but Shen Muhan in front of me suddenly stopped. I reached out to pat her to see what was going on, and I suddenly realized that I could see her. It stands to reason that when we came down, there was no light source, and the only thing that could know Shen Muhan's location was the indicator light on her gas cylinder, but I can see her whole person clearly now. Is there anything weird?

When I turned my eyes to the surrounding stone walls, I realized that the entire stone wall was glowing with a layer of blue light, and I was just busy running away, and my attention was on my feet, and I didn't even notice when these blue lights appeared. I thought about it, we had gone through this hole before, and there was no blue light.

Shen Muhan stepped back and touched my arm with her foot, this girl is clever, if she can't touch me with her hand, she must want to tell me that there is something in front of her. But the space in this hole was limited, and I couldn't move in front of her, so I had to let her lean hard and look forward through the gap.

Originally, the light was not particularly strong, and the barely exposed gap was not clear at all, and he could only vaguely see that there was something like a pig's urine bubble not far in front of Shen Muhan that blocked the entire hole, but it looked like it was floating with the water, and after waiting for a while, there was no movement.

Shen Muhan kicked me again, obviously not controlling the strength and distance, and kicked me on the broken head impartially, with a heart-piercing pain. By the time I recovered, Shen Muhan was already close to the thing in front of me, and he didn't stay long before he got through the middle.

After there was no block in front, I saw that the thing was a thin film, and there was a hole in the middle, I don't know if it was originally like this or if Shen Muhan drilled it, it turned out to be a false alarm. But this place is definitely not the one we entered, maybe the stone steps inside have changed, and the outside has also changed.

After passing through an unknown number of films, I finally reached the end, and the light from the water could be faintly seen outside the hole. I now miss life on land so much that I quickly kicked the stone wall a few times hard and swam out of the narrow stone cave.

It was not the same cave we entered, and there was no sign of a shipwreck outside. I hurriedly carried the gas cylinder behind me, ready to float up, but Shen Muhan next to me grabbed me, shook his head at me and pointed upward.

I looked up, and suddenly I felt an urge to scold my mother, countless masks were floating above our heads, countless tentacles hanging down, densely packed, roughly numbered hundreds, and some small ones wrapped in a transparent ball in the middle.

I thought I would escape, but I didn't expect to enter a desperate situation, this is clearly the lair of masks, and the balls in them should not have grown up yet. Now that I think about it, those pig urine bubbles in the cave just now must be eggs of this kind of thing, and when the mask grows up, it comes out of the eggs and leaves the eggshells on the stone wall.

When we were in the shipwreck, a mask almost killed us, and I don't even know how we died. I hurriedly pointed to the hole behind me and let Shen Muhan drill back, leaving a head to peek at these masks outside.

All the masks floated motionless in the water as if they were dead, and their tentacles hung in bunches. At this time, the prompt light on the gas cylinder lit up, and when he got out of the stone cave, he dragged Shen Muhan towards the mask group. There was very little air left in the cylinders, and we would burp ourselves without using these masks if we waited like this. Since these masks are not moving, maybe they are sleeping, as long as they are not disturbed, there may be a way to live.

Although there are a lot of masks, fortunately, they are far away from each other, so I pulled Shen Muhan to carefully drill through the gap, and when I saw that the masks did not react, my heart relaxed a lot. However, the mask does not float on a horizontal plane, and it cannot be relaxed for a while.

At first, I would look at each mask I swam to make sure it wasn't awake, but then I went through a lot of masks from bottom to top, and I saw a lot of eyes, and everywhere I saw were masks, so I had to force myself to think that they didn't exist, and I paralyzed myself in my heart: these are all kelp.

After about ten minutes, he finally swam out of the mask group, and he was still more than ten meters away from the surface of the sea. I glanced back at the masks, still looking like they were sleeping, and I suddenly suspected what I had just thought, this might not be the lair of the masks, but a cemetery, and all the people here were corpses.

Before the thought could be extinguished, the mask in a pig urine bubble at the top of the group suddenly moved, and turned its face at me, and although it was some distance away, I could clearly see that it had a strange grin on its face.

I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, but it was too late, and with that smile, the pig urine bubble exploded, and the mask inside stretched out its tentacles. All the masks floating in the water also moved, turning their faces in my direction, and hundreds of masks slowly grinned at the corners of my mouth at the same time, and finally grinned at the ear.

I didn't have time to think about it, I hurriedly pulled Shen Muhan upstream, as long as it reached the surface of the water and land, I was not afraid of these masks, no matter how powerful these masks were, I could eat them one by one and sprinkle some cumin, but I didn't dare to hold them up underwater.

I glanced behind me with my peripheral vision, the tentacles of the mask on the top were almost stretched to our position, and I didn't have time to think about dragging Shen Muhan's gas cylinder and paddling desperately, the light in front of me had begun to become a little dazzling, and the water surface was close in front of me.

Shen Muhan floated out of the water and swam towards the shore before me, and my whole head leaked out of the water after me. As I was about to paddle sideways, there was a slippery feeling in my feet, and then I was dragged into the water, and a mask was attached to my face, and there were several holes in my face, the same one who attacked us in the boat, I didn't expect this thing to hold such a grudge.

The mask glanced at me and threw me into the mask group with a strong flick of the tentacles, and the eyes were full of eyes that could not see anything except the tentacles, one by one wrapped around me, not even letting go of the head, and after a while even breathing became difficult, and the brain was rapidly deprived of oxygen, and I knew that I was going to die.

But fortunately, the girl is safe.
