Chapter 211: Living Figurines
The more I thought about it, the colder it became, the water I drank in my stomach seemed to freeze, and the cold air exuded from the inside out, and I took my backpack into my arms, and I didn't feel warm, there was always cold air overflowing from all directions, and there were dense rock crevices everywhere, so narrow that I couldn't even reach my fingers.
* It was quiet, like death, only the never-ending "bang" sound kept coming, reminding me of my situation, I reached into my pocket, felt the bronze piece, and stroked the number depression on it over and over again, I don't know what it means, but it was important to that person, I regret a little, why did I bring what he valued so much, it should always be with him.
Now it is also likely to die with me, and I wonder if someone will enter this island again hundreds of thousands of years from now, will they also see my dry bones and this bronze piece? It might have been funny, and he would have thought it was something important to me, but I didn't know that I got it from someone else, yes, maybe that person got it from someone else.
I'm a little tired, I want to sleep, I can't tell the time, only the biological clock is accurate, and it's been at least ten hours before I enter the island, but I don't even see the shadow of the tomb.
While the maze was relatively quiet, it was necessary to rest for a while, so I secretly made up my mind to sleep for a while, whether the hole was open or not, and crawl back in as soon as I woke up.
I soon fell asleep, but my body kept on alert, which is also what I learned in the Mo family, although it is not as good as them can jump immediately with a little sound, but at least there is movement around me can still be detected.
I slept soundly with my backpack in my arms, although it was still very cold, I had experienced so many horrible things, I didn't have nightmares, I was in a daze, a rapid drum beat woke me up, I rubbed my eyes, forgot about my situation for a while, and when I suddenly lifted up, I hit the top of my head, and I grinned in pain.
I shook my head and rested well, but the strange drum beat was not a dream, but real, and I heard a rapid "bang" sound coming from under my feet, and the floating island had been shaking, and now it shook even more heavily with the sound.
I changed my posture from sitting to squatting, this is not the "bang" sound I have always heard, the sound is still there, much slower than this, this new sound is bigger and more urgent, like someone is beating the drum hard, I listened carefully, the interval of the sound is exactly the same, it cannot be artificial, it can only be manipulated.
What happened to the floating islands?
I'm half-kneeling, I can't hear anything except this voice, the floating island has always been normal, could it be that the appearance of this sound is someone who has touched something, I suddenly remembered, there are a group of enemies here in addition to us, but they have never met, I left them behind, and now there is a change, who caused it?
The air seemed to be stagnant, and the rapid "bang" sound was like a complaint drum being beaten outside the ancient yamen, I don't know what kind of grievances were contained, I shrunk my body, it was obviously such a loud sound, the maze didn't react, the rocks were still moving slowly, if I made such a loud sound, they would definitely quickly crush over.
The rapid beat of the drum stimulated my heartbeat, and I thought it would stop after a while, but it didn't, and it had been at least three or four minutes since I woke up, and it was still ringing, and it hadn't even quieted down a bit.
I suddenly felt that my situation was okay, something must have happened outside, I couldn't help but worry about nineteen of them, eleven is so good, it's not that they fell into the water and there is no news, they are the same, after all, we are all human beings, life is really fragile.
I grew accustomed to the rapid sound of the drums, and crawled out along the way I came from with my gear on my back, which was a strategy I had thought of before I went to bed, and it would not change because of such an inconsequential change, and after so long, the hole should have been opened.
I climbed five or six meters, and suddenly I heard a strange rustling sound in the darkness ahead, as if something was dragging, I didn't pay much attention to it, the rocks here were moving all the time, maybe it was the sound of them rubbing, I climbed another meter and stopped, I was used to hearing the sound of the rocks rubbing, it seemed to be different from this sound.
I listened carefully, the sound was really familiar, but I couldn't remember for a while, there seemed to be a cold air coming from the darkness ahead, I couldn't help but take two steps back, the flashlight shone, the light dissipated in the darkness, nothing.
I had some heart palpitations and didn't want to step forward again, the strange rustling sound was closer to me, and I remained in a half-crouching position, holding up my flashlight, and my eyes looked ahead without blinking.
The noise was getting louder and louder, it was getting closer and closer to me, and I panicked, and I took it for granted that the hole would open, and who knew if it would close a little bit, maybe I would see a pile of rocks moving towards me before I climbed up.
I stepped back again, startled, I knew what it was, it was clearly the sound of people crawling in the cave, and I rubbed against the stone walls around me, exactly like this sound.
"Brother God? Eleven? ”
I whispered two words, and there was no response, and my heart beat wildly, and if it was someone I knew, I would definitely reply, and if it wasn't for them, who was crawling towards me little by little?
The cold hairs on my whole body stood up at once, I didn't dare to delay, I moved my steps back, and soon retreated to the bottom of the cave, the cool wind kept blowing, I couldn't escape, and the strange voice was getting closer and closer to me.
The rapid drumbeat was still ringing, but my heart was beating faster than it, I stared at the darkness in front of me, little by little, the sound of scraping was getting closer and closer to me, and a gray face was reflected in the distance under the flashlight, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide, this was the human skin figurine!
"Ahh
I couldn't help but scream, it was alive, crawling on all fours like a human, it was approaching me little by little, its gray face was blocked by wet hair, and its facial features showed a strange shadow under the flashlight, it was like Sadako crawling out of the TV, trying to ask for my life!
I panicked and slammed my back against the rock, and I had no way back but to watch it get closer and closer to me!
It's dead, only a human skin remains, why did it come back to life!
The face of the human skin figurine became clearer and clearer, I couldn't help but tremble, I saw its expression change, the smirk that was still bent at the corners of its mouth before, but now it has no smile, it has become an expressionless numbness!
It really came alive! Not only will they turn around and crawl, but even their expressions will change, I have long thought that these skin figurines are ghostly, but I didn't expect them to come back to life!
I watched it approach but there was nothing I could do, I gave an order to A, but it didn't move, it showed that it was dead, A's could not kill it again, what should I do, if I stabbed it with a short sword, the mercury in its body would flow out, I couldn't escape, it would definitely be poisoned, not to mention that I didn't know what it would bring if I pierced it, and I didn't know if the puncture would stop it from getting closer.
"Stay away from me!"
I screamed, pounding hard against the stone wall beside me, I was cornered, this place was much more terrifying than I thought, it wouldn't come to life for no reason, if it came close, I would definitely die!
I panicked to the extreme, as long as there is a glimmer of life, I am willing to do anything, the maze was stimulated by me, the stone wall began to move wildly, I saw a palm-wide gap on the side, but it was not enough, I couldn't get out, in the panic I raised my sword and stabbed the stone wall, I felt a warm liquid flowing out of the stone wall, the human skin figurines were about to touch my feet, I didn't have time to react, I saw the stone wall suddenly opened, I suddenly lost weight, straight down and fell.
"Bang!"
I fell, two meters high, the whole slapped on the hard rock, the bones of the whole body were broken like pain, I couldn't move for a while, I struggled to shake my hands to pick up the flashlight, only to see the rock above my head squirming frantically, like countless huge black worms, the hole I fell down has disappeared, the human skin figurine is trapped in it and does not come out.
I breathed a long sigh of relief, my heart was still pounding, pain was coming from all over my body, and the rocks under me were squirming, but I couldn't get up, I could only lie down like a dead fish, and the rocks slowed down until they were a meter and a half away from me.
There was a clear sound of water in my ears, I was a little panicked, I sat up with my body bent, my back hurt terribly, the butterfly bone could barely move, I slowly moved my arms, and the pain faded after a long time, this kind of stuffiness I have experienced countless times, but it does not affect my movement much.
I didn't expect to be injured often and have this effect, I smiled bitterly, the muscles of my legs and feet were twitching slightly, I hammered a few times, I picked up the flashlight and looked at the other side, this is a small cave, very wet, the place where I fell is a huge rock, the crevices of the rocks next to it are full of sharp shells, if I fall a little off, it must be more than just a fall.
My luck always plays a role in such strange places, I saw blood on my left wrist, and when I looked closely, I realized that there was a slender cut on the side of my wrist, and the wound was not large, not like it could bleed so much.
I didn't care, I quickly rummaged through my backpack and took out a medical kit to disinfect and bandage, the environment here is humid and harsh, and there are unknown strange creatures, although I now have a certain resistance to corpse poison and the like, but if you are really infected with a fever, it is also a troublesome thing, and you still have to deal with it.
I tried to stand up, but the first time I didn't succeed in my legs and feet, and the second time I barely stood up with my hands on the ground, the bones in my body were as weird and hard as if they were out of place, and I twisted my body, only to hear a "snap" sound from the joints, which at first glance sounded very similar to the sound they made when they shrank their bones.
