Chapter 94: Smiling Stone Fetus
This look was very terrifying, I blinked vigorously and looked closely, only to see that its facial features were very three-dimensional, and its small body was exactly the same as that of a baby, just sitting there motionless with its eyes closed.
It has an eerie grayish-white color, incompatible with the yellow and white colors of the cave, and it seems to be motionless on its own, completely unresponsive to our arrival.
If this is a stalagmite, it is too amazing, we have seen countless stalagmites along the way, they have different shapes, some do have the pictograms of birds and beasts, but they are only similar in appearance, and the baby in front of us seems to be finely carved, completely incompatible with nature.
There was silence in the cave for a while, everyone stopped, we all stared at the baby who stopped in the middle of the road, and Brother Shen didn't hesitate when he saw the hanging man's bronze spear, but stopped here.
Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi both took out their flashlights, and the cave suddenly brightened, and the baby was clearly presented in front of our eyes, and I saw at a glance that it was curled up in its little hands, holding a piece of jade tightly.
It's our lost piece of jade!
No wonder Brother Shen stopped, my heart jumped in my throat in an instant, fear made my limbs numb, whether this is a baby corpse or a stalagmite, it is not a living thing, jade is walking with the water, even if it is stuck, it should not be like this, it is clearly holding it tightly, the jade is wrapped in its hand, as if it was originally growing inside.
It's so abnormal, it can't be like this unless it's alive, but it's really motionless, how the hell did the jade get into its hands!
The air seemed to be stagnant, no one made any action, not even Ah Chuan could tell why, the water here was very shallow, only beyond the instep, it was holding the jade in its hand, and the jade was completely out of the water, even if there was really a 1 in 100 million chance of getting stuck in it, it was impossible to get out of the water.
No one dared to move, I suppressed my breath, this must not be a good kind, it was probably a corpse, but the corpse could not be as intact as a work of art, it could only come with the water.
I didn't dare to think it was a living creature, let alone a real baby, but all sorts of anomalies suggest that it moves.
"Click."
A crisp voice sounded, it was Brother Shen, he casually broke off a thin stalagmite tip, the baby did not react to the sound, it was still motionless.
Brother Shen threw the tip of the stalagmite at it, it was the first time I had seen something that could make Brother Shen so tempting, and he hit it on the head accurately, and with a crisp sound, the tip of the stalagmite was ejected far away.
It's a very hard thing, it sounds like a stone hitting a stone, I don't know how strong Brother Shen is, but it doesn't have a single wound on its head.
"What the hell is it?" I couldn't help myself and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know," there was a rare look of hesitation on Brother Shen's face, "the jade wasn't washed by water. ”
My heart was cold, no wonder Brother Shen was so jealous, thinking about it, the water here only reached the instep, and it was relatively gentle, it was not easy to wash away the jade.
"It's not water, that's what it brought from?" Ah Chuan's words were marked with playfulness and curiosity.
"I don't know, Jade walks in a straight line." Brother Shen spoke again.
I was confused, what does a straight line mean? It is impossible for the jade to move on its own, even if it is brought by this inexplicable thing, the karst cave here is so complicated, it is impossible for it to walk in a straight line, unless it can penetrate the wall.
This is even more unlikely, things are getting more and more weird, and they are beyond my understanding.
"Oh?"
Ah Chuan was also surprised, he looked at this strange baby, showing an interested look.
He walked up, and I almost screamed, who knows what it was, and he passed unsuspectingly, and I thought of the monsters who did not dare to enter the cave, they must be afraid of this thing.
I stared at it, as if I could fix my eyes there, it was cold here, but I was still sweating.
Ah Chuan walked very carefully, he seemed to be relaxed, but in fact, every part of his body was tense, he stepped on the water and barely made a sound, and soon he was only a few meters away from this strange baby.
"Be careful." Xiao Qi spoke.
Ah Chuan didn't respond, he turned slightly sideways to the side of the strange baby, and our flashlights shone on it in unison, like a spotlight, illuminating its face.
Ah Chuan turned around, the strange baby still didn't react, he slowly reached out to get the jade, my heart hung in the air with his hand, and I unconsciously held my breath.
There was no reaction, it seemed to be really just a stone, Ah Chuan's hand touched the jade, and the movement was extremely light, but suddenly he suddenly increased his strength, trying to pull it out quickly.
Ah Chuan's strength must be very great, I saw that this strange baby was lifted up by him for a moment, and the jade seemed to grow into its hand, and Ah Chuan didn't pull it out.
"Boom!"
The strange baby fell back into the water, making a soft sound, it didn't grow on the ground, even if it was suddenly fallen, it still didn't move, but Ah Chuan's eyes showed an incredible look, he quickly retreated to Brother Shen's side, staring at the strange baby, his eyes were full of curiosity and surprise.
"Interesting, it's already fused with jade." Ah Chuan said.
"What do you mean?" I'm even more confused, can it still melt the jade?
"Its hand is embedded in the pattern on the jade, which was supposed to be soft like cement, but after holding the jade, it becomes hard again."
Ah Chuan said it very vividly, I immediately understood, he would definitely not lie to us, what the hell is this?
I didn't have much fear, I just felt amazed, it would be fine if this thing was in some other shape, but it looked like a baby, which made me feel very awkward.
"The jade always has to be taken, and we can't just break it up, right?"
Ah Chuan seemed to be asking us, but his eyes kept on the strange baby, and his tone was full of ridicule and threat, as if he was talking to it.
As if he understood his words, the strange baby suddenly reacted, and it opened its eyes suddenly, its eyes were round and big, and the whole eyeball was as white as death, just like a ghost doll in a horror movie!
Everyone took a step back, and at that moment I couldn't hear anything, I could only hear the sound of my own heartbeat, it was really alive, and I understood Achuan's words!
Even when I opened my eyes, I couldn't focus on the eyes without Hitomi, and I didn't know who it was looking at, but I moved slightly, and it seemed to be looking at me from any angle.
Its eyes were very strange, although they were eyes, they were still carved out of stone, and I calmed down slightly, its gaze was blank and empty, and it seemed that it could not see us at all.
"Hey, it's interesting, it's not a good boy to take someone else's things."
Ah Chuan's voice was smiling, seeing this situation, he could still say such things calmly.
As if to prove that it could really hear, the strange baby moved again, and it slowly grinned in an eerie way.
How terrifying is this scene, how terrifying, I covered my mouth to prevent myself from screaming, Ah Chuan seemed to understand something, he didn't retreat, and he laughed like it, and a person and a baby confronted each other like this, and time seemed to freeze.
I stared at the strange baby's mouth, which was as hard as a stone, how did it open its eyes and open its mouth? Cement does not have this speed, it seems to be at two extremes, soft as water to us and hard as stone to us.
From my current point of view, it still looks like a stone sculpture, but it is carved into the appearance of opening its eyes and mouth, its mouth is grinning a slit, I stare at it carefully, and it is dark inside, I can't tell if it just has a mouth, or if it really has internal organs.
Ah Chuan moved again, he walked up, leaned over slightly and stretched out his hand to it, still smiling on his face.
"Give me the jade, or I'll smash you." He said it lightly, as if he was not at all afraid of it.
The baby's mouth grew wider, the corners of its mouth cracked until it reached its ear, it seemed to laugh, but it didn't make a sound, and I was trying to see if its mouth was empty, but it moved violently.
Its speed is extremely disproportionate to its stone-carved body, its mouth opens extremely wide in an instant, the back of its head turns over, it moves too fast, I can see very blurry, its whole head hangs down to the back of its neck, its head seems to be broken, its neck has completely turned into a big mouth with a black hole, its mouth is full of sharp white stone thorns, and it seems that the whole body is densely covered with fangs!
It rushed towards Ah Chuan, the speed was very fast, I thought Ah Chuan would let A attack, but no, he should have thought of this consequence, his body moved suddenly, but he didn't expect this stone-heavy thing to have such a fast speed, it was difficult to dodge with human strength.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, time seemed to press the pause button, and I saw Brother Shen's hand stop in front of Ah Chuan, and he raised his hand to knock the strange baby out at the last moment, and he hit its body, and the loud sound was the sound of metal fists and stones colliding.
No matter how fast the speed of the strange baby is, the body is small, the strength of the god brother is extremely great, it was knocked out and hit the wall of the cave, its body is hard and heavy, it should have made a huge crashing sound, but it didn't, it seemed to have just been beaten into the cotton.
I saw an extremely strange scene, its body softened in an instant, as Ah Chuan said, like cement, it melted into the stone wall, as if it had grown from inside.
Its mouth was closed, and its eyes were open, and at first glance it looked like a relief carved into the wall of the cave, and half of its body was completely integrated with the wall of the cave.
"Stone fetus, there really is such a thing in the world, and this time it is not in vain."
Ah Chuan's voice was full of exclamation, he didn't look scared at all, if Brother Shen didn't block it just now, no one knew what would happen if he was bitten by it.
