Chapter 9: The Monster That Was Created
Song Yin is also afraid, mainly because this stone room is too weird, there is no gap in the walls around it, and the door is also tightly sealed, which means that they are in a secret room, how can there be wind in this case, it is too unreasonable, is there really a monster in this world now? Or is it the invisible kind?
Song Yin didn't dare to think deeply, he was afraid that he couldn't control himself after thinking too much and rushed out, the snakes outside hadn't left yet, and going out would definitely be Wang Wang's fate. Even if you can escape from the temple, it's late at night, what is the most in the mountain zoo, animals, mutated animals, mutated nocturnal animals, can you still have a good one when you go out? Dream.
Sitting down in the corner, the two sisters took the initiative to lean over, they were conjoined babies, and they leaned on wherever the travel light was. Jiang Xiaoqi searched the house carefully several times and found no abnormality, and finally walked over reluctantly. The four of them sat on the ground around the travel lamp, tossing for a while, everyone was not sleepy, but the spirit of this startled was a little lacking, and no one had the heart to speak again.
There was silence for more than two hours, the sound of the snakes was far away, but no one wanted to open the door, although this stone room was a little strange, but in addition to a little cold, the wind was a little strong, but there was no strange thing, and when it was dawn, it was not too late for these poisonous snakes to go back to their lair.
Song Yin was usually used to being poor, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and asked the twins beside him, "Alas, let me ask you, how did you get into Blue Sky Company?" Special? Or is it assessed? ”
Jasmine on the left replied vividly: "We were brought in by Little Seventh Sister." ”
"Oh...... Go through the back door. ”
"Of course not." Pea huffed angrily, "Little Seventh Sister just introduced us to participate in the assessment, and it depends on our ability to get in." ”
When it came to ability, Song Yin suddenly remembered the beauty in the mist, his heart moved, and he asked, "Your ability is that flute, right?" In other words, this ability is rare, and playing the flute can actually blow beautiful women, eh, can you play a handsome guy? Let me open my eyes again. ”
The twins were obviously not deeply involved in the world, and they didn't hear Song Yin's language trap, so they immediately retorted: "Our ability is not a flute, as long as it is a musical instrument, but the flute is easy to carry, and that person is not blown out by the flute, but ......"
Jiang Xiaoqi, who was on the side, suddenly interjected and interrupted the twins: "Jasmine, don't say it, this guy doesn't have any good intentions." ”
Song Yinzheng listened attentively, and saw that he had reached the key place, but he didn't expect to be stirred up by Jiang Xiaoqi's-stirring stick, and he was so angry in his heart that he scolded the eighteenth generation of the Jiang family's ancestors, and his mouth was even more unforgiving, "Alas, Jiang Xiaoqi, how can you talk?" Didn't I have any good intentions? Let me tell you, don't wronged people, I'm idle and bored to find two young ladies to chat, you have to take care of this? Are you their wet nurse? ”
Before the word 'nurse' came out, a bright iron rope with a hook drove to Song Yin's neck.
"You try it again?"
As soon as he saw that Jiang Xiaoqi was on fire, Song Yin immediately admitted that he had never been absent in the matter of pretending to be a grandson.
"Don't don't, Jiang Da Beauty, I'm not bored to play around with you, don't take it seriously, blame me, blame me for this broken mouth." He straightened his body and didn't dare to move his neck, "Look, if you shake your hand and accidentally hurt me, of course it doesn't matter, but those snakes are still outside, in case they smell blood and block the door, we will have to be trapped here, right?" For everyone's safety, I think it's more appropriate for you to take this hook. ”
Of course, Jiang Xiaoqi didn't really do it, but he couldn't say Song Yu with a stupid mouth, and he had nowhere to spread the fire in his belly, so he had to use this method to scare him.
"I warn you, if you dare to say another nonsense, and fight to kill us together, I will slaughter you first."
"Okay, okay, I know, I admit my mistake, you quickly take this thing away, don't worry, I promise not to speak, I won't let go of a fart, okay?"
Jiang Xiaoqi snorted coldly and put the iron hook back.
As several people gradually quieted down, the wind that had been hovering overhead slowly subsided, and the temperature rose somewhat, but the nerves of the four of them suddenly tensed.
They didn't touch anything in the house, how could the wind get smaller for no reason.
Song Yin suddenly had a bad premonition, and held a travel lamp to shine around, and his eyes finally stayed on the roof.
The entire stone room is only about 100 square meters, and you can see the head at a glance, but this roof is ignored by them.
The roof is more than five meters high, and the color of the wall skin in the middle is slightly lighter, because the wind blows the incense ash everywhere, everyone didn't pay attention to it before, but now when you take a closer look, you will find that it is wrong.
Song Yin stepped on the wall behind him and jumped up a few meters high, like a monkey with a burned buttocks, his movements were very flexible, and the travel lamp in his hand was taken by him like this, and it just shone on the top wall.
When he saw the faint, almost imperceptible mural on the wall, his face turned white all at once.
"It's ...... Come on. ”
He yelled, as if he had gone mad, and ran to the door.
Jiang Xiaoqi and the twins also jumped up, the room was still gray, what was on the wall, the three of them didn't see it at all, but they had an inexplicable sense of trust in Song Yin's perception, and they didn't hesitate for too long, and the three followed.
Song Yin pushed away the stone room with an arrow step, the two sisters followed, Jiang Xiaoqi ran last, and just as she stepped out of the stone room, the wind in the room stopped instantly, as if someone had pressed the switch of the stop button. The incense ash was sprinkled and floated to the ground, Jiang Xiaoqi looked back at it with the afterglow, this glance frightened her almost not standing firmly, slammed the stone door shut, and hooked the iron cable around the doorknob a few times, tied to a stone pillar, and after doing all this, she quickly ran upstairs.
In the stone room, the walls are shattered inch by inch like eggshells, countless flying wall skins are peeling off, and wisps of white smoke gradually seep out of the cracks, condensing into a white translucent monster image with a sheep's head, a dog's body, and a tiger's tail.
This monster is called the 'Covenant Beast'.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, some of the strengthened races who believed in the gods found a way to cure the mutation from ancient books. They used the backward medical technology at that time to stitch together the bodies of three mutated animals, sheep, dog, and tiger, in an attempt to create a 'contract beast', so that the contract beast could devour the mutated energy on the planet and return it to the original safe and free world of human beings.
After decades of continuous research, these three animals almost became extinct on Planet Z, and it was the Society for the Protection of Human Security that finally came out to stop this crazy move.
Animals are the food that the world depends on today, and once there is a danger of extinction, then human beings are not far from death.
Although it is explicitly forbidden to maliciously kill wild mutant animals on a large scale, there are still many paranoid medical practitioners who secretly carry out this work.
In the first hundred years after the apocalypse, after countless failures and blows, the first 'contract beast' that survived on its own was finally successfully created.
And this temple is the altar that those crazy believers used to worship and raise the 'contract beast'.
Prior to this, Song Yin had heard countless versions of how mad scientists created the 'Covenant Beast', and he had always thought that the so-called 'Covenant Beast' was just the last bit of hope left by mankind for this apocalyptic world, imagination and longing.
However, when he saw with his own eyes a mural of a covenant beast carved on the wall, it opened its eyes like a living thing, stuck out its tongue at him, and even began to suck the power in his body, Song Yin believed that the 'covenant beast' was real.
However, all the images of the 'contract beast' recorded by humans are very different from what he saw with his own eyes-
The pair of horns that were supposed to grow on the head of the sheep actually grew on the mandible, just like two large white mustaches smeared with shaping potions, making the whole image of the beast weird and a little funny.
Is this a contract beast? A monster that devours abilities? This thing is not even a legend?
Song Yin ran towards the staircase while secretly thinking to himself, if the monster with the inverted horns was really a covenant beast, then once it left this ruin, it would inevitably bring great disasters to the human world.
The food of the Pact Beast is an ability, and once humans lose it, they will not be able to survive in a world full of radiation and crisis.
And if humans want to return to the beautiful environment with towering greenery and clear skies, the first thing to eliminate is the source of radiation, not the ability.
The four of them ran to the fourth staircase with their heads covered, but they didn't encounter the snakes just now, but they were stopped by a group of green striped frogs that were jumping towards the fifth floor.
This frog is very venomous, living at the bottom of a dark swamp all year round, and only comes out to feed after dark, and they are even more dangerous than the small flower snake, which injects venom into a living body through its teeth, and as long as it is not bitten, it is fine. The striped frog itself is a poisonous spreader, and the mucus around them has a strong corrosive effect, and just a drop on the skin will quickly melt into a puddle of nutrient solution for them to suck like candle oil.
Looking at the frog swarm that had already crowded the entire staircase, everyone had to turn around.
The four of them retreated all the way, but they didn't dare to open the door of the four-story stone chamber again, in case another contract beast came out of it, they could only close their eyes and wait for death.
"What should I do?"
Pea's face was desperate, and Jasmine's face beside her was even more ugly than hers.
Jiang Xiaoqi lost the rope hook, pulled out a three-edged bayonet from his back waist and blocked it in front of the twins, "When you have a chance to go out later, don't look back, follow Song Yin, I think he will guarantee your safety." ”
This is obviously explaining the aftermath, when the two sisters heard this, they grabbed Jiang Xiaoqi, and tears flowed, "Little Seventh Sister, we won't leave you, we will die together." ”
"It's time like this, don't be stupid, you are still young, live well."
Jiang Xiaoqi patted the twins, pulled out his arms, and prepared to rush towards the frog group, so that he could fight a bloody way for the two sisters.
