Chapter 224: Tentacles
I stared straight in the direction of Brother Shen's departure, and struggled tentatively a few more times, but he didn't mean to let go at eleven o'clock, his expression was very cold, like a jailer looking at a prisoner.
Gradually, I stopped struggling, I knew that Brother Shen was far away, and as long as he passed through a few caves, I couldn't find him again, my body relaxed, and Eleven let go, and I couldn't understand why they were doing this.
Nineteen seemed to want to say something, but I ignored him, walked straight to the side of the rock wall, found a slightly protruding stone and sat down, and sank my whole body into the warm water, only my head was exposed.
They were all looking at me, I felt the heat in my eyes, I raised my hand to cover my face, it was Brother Shen who secretly left by himself, I couldn't stop it, but I didn't expect to watch him go to danger now.
There must be danger ahead, otherwise he wouldn't let us wait here, he always faces the most dangerous things alone, I'm angry that nineteen they know the danger, but they don't stop it, they seem to really regard Brother God as a god, only I know that he is also a human being, he will also be injured, he will also die, and there are times when he is at a loss and helpless.
I suddenly remembered a lot of things, and the once vague trip to the snowy mountains gradually became clear, and that was when I had the most contact with Brother Shen, especially when the two of us went deep underground alone, and I saw his fragility with my own eyes.
He is not a god at all, although he always disguises himself well, it is true that when he was on Nameless Island, he seemed even more indifferent and unfathomable than the Mo family, but I know that the real him is not like this, I can't explain it to Nineteen, and they can't understand it.
Just like now, they looked at me with amazement, and I lowered my hand and felt like I was floating in the water, but my heart sank like lead.
I covered my face again, and through my fingers, I saw that Nineteen's gaze had changed, and for a moment it was full of understanding, as if he had already seen through what I wanted in my heart, I was startled, and hurriedly lowered my hand, and when I looked at it again, he had lost that look, and his eyes became indifferent and empty.
They all found a suitable place to sit, we had been walking for so long that I was tired and wanted to sleep, especially in this warm and light environment, but I couldn't sleep, and if I did, I would definitely slide into the water.
Nineteen suddenly stood up and walked to me and sat down, I subconsciously wanted to stay away, but he suddenly reached out and grabbed me, put my head on his shoulder, I saw him spit out two words, I don't know why, I understood at once, he said "sleep".
I feel stiff all over my body, uncomfortable, I remembered that I had a nightmare and had to sleep in Lao Huang's room, Lao Huang at that time was probably my mood now, I didn't expect it to be so awkward, but Lao Huang is Lao Huang, I can afford to joke with him, but Nineteen is different, we are a little stronger than strangers, too much intimacy will only make people uncomfortable.
But he did it very naturally, as if this was a natural thing, I glanced at Eleven, he saw this scene, there was no change in the slightest, didn't he think it was strange?
I tried to run away, but Nineteen quickly grabbed my hand, his hand was warm, his palm was full of rough calluses, but it was not annoying, that strange familiarity came again, I could only see his chin, the contours and lines of his neck were so familiar.
I was in a trance again, I always felt that I had seen him somewhere, but I had verified that he was just a stranger I had never met, and the two contradictory feelings were tangled together, making me forget about my brother.
What kind of magic is this person all about? His breath is free, sometimes indifferent to make people fearful, sometimes kind to make people want to rely on, I didn't resist anymore, suddenly I feel that my nose is very sour, I haven't experienced the feeling of relying on others for a long time, I am growing, but I have lost a lot unconsciously.
I hate myself who was cowardly in the past, but I envy my previous life, growing up is a cruel thing, and I am actually very happy to be protected, all of this will only be understood when I am lost, I never cherished it before, but now I have to be touched by occasional warmth.
I was really sleepy, and now I am very relieved, I really fell asleep a little bit, without a little worry and fear, I don't know how long later, there was a sudden big vibration under me, I was startled, and opened my eyes suddenly.
I was still leaning on Nineteen's shoulder, the rocks moving beneath me, and he pulled me to my feet, and I slept in a daze, dizzy, and my feet went limp.
Fortunately, it was no big deal, I moved my ankles twice and it was back to normal, Eleven and we stood together, and the three of us looked around back to back, and all the rocks in the cave were moving violently, squeezing and changing their arrangement, just like when the maze was violently moving outside.
However, the caves here are relatively large, although they move violently, but there is no meaning to squeeze down, we try to stay away from these moving rocks, I saw that there are several rock crevices around are closed due to movement, my heart seems to be pinched hard, Brother Shen has not come back, the maze has changed, if he is trapped in it, it will be difficult to find us.
I pulled nineteen: "How long has he been gone?" ”
Nineteen looked at me and shook his head, and spat out two words, I could understand that the first one was "no", thinking that he should have said it soon.
How long is it soon? If it was really not long, he told me directly, ambiguity is a cover-up, I didn't ask any more questions, and my heart gradually panicked, this kind of place, I may not be able to come back after leaving for a few minutes.
The rocks under my feet were also moving, and although I couldn't see them when they were buried in the sand, I could feel the rhythm of it, and the movement of the rocks also stirred up the sand, and the water became cloudy, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
There should be no danger underwater, there will be no big rock crevices here, otherwise there will not be so much sand at all, I am a little relieved, and suddenly stand up straight, I ignore a very serious problem, the water temperature here is high, and the rock activity is not as violent as outside, why can't I see the shadow of a little creature?
There are rocks underneath the sand, and there should always be shellfish growing on them, and no matter how bad they are, there should be fish outside, but there is nothing here, the rocks are smooth and clean, and there is no shadow of marine life not only under your feet, but also on the stone walls outside.
I immediately remembered the river without fish, shrimp and aquatic weeds, because there were strange corpses and bugs hidden in the bottom of the river, could it be that there was something hidden under the sand here?
I panicked a little, grabbed Nineteen, pointed to the water, he seemed to be mistaken, and thinking that something had touched me, he stabbed me at my foot with his sword.
Nothing, I was about to explain, but I felt that the temperature of the water suddenly became low, from low to high, it was not easy to detect, but I was used to the warmth, and I could feel it at once when it suddenly became cold, and I saw that Nineteen and Eleven were visibly vigilant, and they all looked at a crevice in the rock, as if this cold water was flowing from there.
I quickly turned around to see that the crack in the rock was moving, and it was closing little by little, and the three of us flashlights shone it together, and I saw that there was indeed a slight ripple rushing towards us, and something seemed to be moving inside.
But there were ripples everywhere, and the rocks were moving, and I couldn't see anything at all, and I was wondering, but I saw something red gushing out of the cracks in the rock.
It's blood!
I was startled, my heart almost jumped out of my throat, it must be blood, I couldn't hear the sound, my nose became extra sensitive, I smelled a faint fishy smell mixed in it, blood red was spreading, little by little towards us!
Nineteen and Eleven pulled me back, the water was full of ripples, and I saw that the water at the crevice was obviously stirred by something, and we quickly retreated, and ran to the edge of the crevice that we had entered at the beginning, only to see the crevice that was about to shrink suddenly open, and a drenched man came out of it.
It's Brother God!
I couldn't help but scream, but unfortunately no one could hear it, Brother Shen was very embarrassed, I saw him hanging down his left arm, and there was an obvious bloody wound on his shoulder, and there was blood flowing down from there, soaking through half of his sleeves, and falling into the water with his fingers dripping, exploding bright blood flowers, and holding a long sword in his right hand, which was all covered in blood.
"Let's go! Come on! Walk! ”
He was shouting at us, I couldn't hear it, but I could tell it from the shape of his mouth at a glance, and there was nothing in my head in an instant, and Nineteen pulled me and ran backwards, and Brother Shen was also running, and I saw a lot of wrist-thick pink tentacles sticking out of the rock crevices behind him.
"What's that?!"
I felt like my brain couldn't even think, and those tentacles shot like arrows, filling half of the cavern almost in the blink of an eye, and they were like moving seaweed, like octopuses, with teeth and claws, clinging to the rock wall, swimming in the water, dense like nets, and overwhelming!
Eleven reacted quickly, lifted Brother Shen's equipment and ran out, we fled to the previous cave, I only felt soft under my feet, stepping on the fine sand and not even running, turned around and saw those tentacles appear with Brother Shen appeared on the edge of the rock crevice, I saw a tentacle has been wrapped around Brother Shen's legs, Brother Shen swung his sword and slashed, it was broken, like a giant worm, jumping in the water and spurting blood, Brother Shen looked very weak, seeing that a tentacle was about to be entangled, Eleven suddenly turned around, kicked the rock wall and jumped high, Swing your sword and cut off the tentacle that was about to touch Brother God.
As if stimulated, more tentacles poured in from the rock crevices, at first glance it looked like a mass of flesh spurting out, they waved, like soft whips, Eleven and Brother Shen were completely surrounded, I could only see from the gaps that they were constantly slashing, they surrounded Brother God They were not enough, those clinging to the rock wall began to attack me and Nineteen again.
