Chapter 264: Blood Well

I swallowed my saliva, only to see that Eleven really put the tip of his sword through one of the broken openings, and his movements were very fast, and the blade of the sword turned sharply, and the first layer of human skin was picked up and fell into the water.

Another lifeless face appeared in front of him, their faces flattened and devoid of bumps, looking huge and grotesque, and indeed broken in their skin.

Eleven picked up two more, both of which were damaged, it seems that Ah Chuan is right, I feel very uncomfortable, I don't want to look at the flat and numb faces anymore, they used to be alive, who would have thought that after death, they would not even be able to make skin figurines, and they would be pressed together one after another to seal the well.

What's in this well? There was no sound at my feet, and I was suddenly very afraid, I always felt that there was danger hidden underneath, otherwise how could those vessels that drew water have old blood scale.

Eleven didn't uncover the human skin again, he glanced at Ah Chuan, only to see Ah Chuan nodding, he raised his foot and kicked the thick human skin seal, with a cracking sound, the human skin seal was kicked aside by him, and there were still a few layers below.

It was indeed a well, and through the translucent human skin, I saw a dark hole, which was clearly empty underneath.

These layers of human skin were pressed to the mouth of the well, and Eleven did not pick them up, but directly used a long sword to draw a circle against the mouth of the well, and the human skin fell softly into the well, and suddenly an extremely strong smell of blood rushed out.

The blood is too heavy, even if I am splashed with blood head-on, there will not be such a heavy smell, I hurriedly covered my nose, and looked down by the light of the flashlight, the well is not deep, and the water surface is more than a meter away from the well.

We didn't dare to get too close, we all took a few steps back, there was no sound in the well, the monsters I expected did not exist, this was an ordinary well, for some reason it was contaminated with a heavy bloody gas.

Ah Chuan picked up one of the longest utensils, fished out the holes in the ears of the utensils and walked to the well and leaned down, I raised my hand and grabbed the back collar of his clothes, half of his body poked into the well, the length was still not enough, it was impossible to draw water, and could only touch the outside of the vessel.

I looked against the edge of the well, and saw that the bottom of the vessel touched the surface of the water, and the thin layer of the surface of the water was swept aside, revealing a rippling liquid, which was bright and shining, reflecting the shadow of Agawa.

With a strong bloody breath rushing in, Ah Chuan straightened up, I saw that there was a circle of liquid under the bronze vessel, which was dripping down, and the black piece was still difficult to see, Ah Chuan took off his gloves, stretched out a finger and wiped it, and the bright red came into view, not as thin as water, which was clearly blood.

This turned out to be a well of blood!

I watched in amazement as the blood under the vessel fell into the water beneath my feet, onto the bleached white human skin, and stabbed my eyes with a bright red color, it was so thick that it was not a mixture of blood and water, but real blood that had not been mixed with anything.

My head was buzzing, I had long suspected that this was a living island, and it would bleed if it pierced a rock, and how could it not bleed if a big hole was carved out, no wonder the island mainly sealed the mouth of the well, on the one hand, because it did not want the sea water to pour in, and on the other hand, it did not want the blood to clot.

No, this is not right, even if it is not airy, it should be condensed, there must be something added to this blood, but I don't want to explore, Ah Chuan looked at the blood on his fingertips with interest, and Eleven frowned lightly and kicked the thick pile of human skin back to the well, sealing it completely.

I turned my head slightly, only to see Ah Chuan actually stretched out his tongue and licked his fingertips quickly, his brows furrowed and spit out, all this happened too suddenly, seeing me looking at him dumbfounded, Ah Chuan raised his eyebrows at me.

This guy is definitely a crazy person, just like that fake Ah Chuan, even if this liquid is colorless and tasteless and very similar to water, I will never dare to lick it, let alone blood, not to mention that no one can be sure whether it is blood or not.

"Don't look at me like that, didn't I throw up." Ah Chuan said lightly and patted me on the shoulder.

"So it's really blood?" I was confused, "Why is there a blood well, and what is it for?" ”

"Alchemy, you also smell the smell of steam, and those ready-made pills, these blood must be one of the raw materials." Achuan said, bending down and putting his fingers in the water to wash them off, and put on his gloves again.

I glanced at the human skin at the mouth of the well, and didn't ask any more, I was expecting what the so-called Shengmen would look like, but I didn't expect it to be just a dead end with a blood well, and there was no way out of it at all.

That person is also gone, we tossed this time, he must have fled a long time ago, we returned along the same way, just walked to the mouth of the cave, my heart moved, pulled Ah Chuan: "Since there is water here, let's just pretend to go back and put out the fire." ”

Ah Chuan really thought about it, and refused in the blink of an eye: "That furnace is so big, how much water do we have to fill to extinguish it?" There must be something extremely flammable underneath, and if it can't be extinguished at once, I'm afraid it will never be extinguished. ”

As soon as I thought about it, I didn't say any more, my steps were heavy, this place was completely different from what I expected, I still had a glimmer of hope when I came, thinking that I could escape from here, now that I think about it, I may really be preconceived, Ah Chuan never said that life is the way to live.

It wasn't a long distance, we had walked for five or six minutes, and I saw a familiar corner, and after three more bends, we could get back into the cave, but Eleven suddenly stopped, and his voice was cold: "The temperature has become lower." ”

I have long forgotten how high the temperature should be here, and now I don't feel cold, it's still warm, Ah Chuan smiled: "I feel it too." ”

I didn't notice anything, the rapid drumming was still there, and I couldn't feel anything unusual in the sound, there must be a reason for the temperature change, could it be that the person we were chasing did something.

Ah Chuan and Eleven's footsteps were lightened, hidden in the sound of the drums and completely inaudible, our speed slowed down, and my footsteps almost disappeared.

It was a short journey, but it seemed like we had walked for centuries, and we finally reached the last corner, and Ah Chuan motioned for us to stop, and quickly stretched out his head to look into the cave.

"Strange ......"

Ah Chuan said something in a low and quick voice, his face was full of surprise, he stretched out his head to look again, this time he didn't shrink back, but walked out.

I also walked out, looking at the scene in front of me a little overwhelmed, not to blame Ah Chuan for saying strange, I also felt incredible, because the raging flames under the huge furnace were actually extinguished, replaced by clouds of steam, they tumbled up from under the furnace ding, shrouding the entire cave in mist, at first glance it seemed to have entered a real fairyland.

The boiling sound in the furnace is still there, but it is obviously much lower, and the steam with a slight pink spray is no longer violent, and the water vapor is all gathered under the furnace ding, and the clouds are steaming and foggy, and it is not real.

The surroundings were extremely dry, there was no shadow of water anywhere, and the flame was so strong that it was difficult to extinguish even if a dozen people poured water at the same time, and there was no one in the cave, and it actually extinguished itself.

"Running out of fuel?" That's all I can think of.

"Perhaps." Ah Chuan replied casually.

Eleven swords were raised in hand, and we cautiously entered the cave, there was no man, no monsters, and the cave was still the same as when we came, except for the extinguished flames.

It was really a ghost, I wanted to go to the furnace to have a look, but Ah Chuan grabbed me, and the three of us walked around the perimeter of the cave back to back, looking at every rock crevice around, and didn't see any living creatures.

It's not man-made, that's the problem of the furnace itself, this is water vapor, the fire must be doused by water, but we don't know where the water comes from, the steam under the furnace is tumbling, it's hot, we can't get close, boiling steam is more likely to burn people than boiling water.

We are facing the furnace against the rock wall, a steady stream of water vapor is steaming from under the ding, the boiling sound in the ding is getting smaller and smaller, gradually, there is no more steam coming out above the furnace, the tide drum has stopped, the surroundings are wet and hot, the humid water vapor is on the face, touch a handful of all fine water droplets.

My attention was all on both sides of the furnace, for fear of seeing some strange shadows in the steam, but no, the steam gradually dissipated, the temperature around us was rapidly decreasing, and we almost all stood up straight and walked towards the furnace.

There is also steam, but it has little impact on the line of sight, under the furnace and I saw, there is a depression, there is a burning sensation under the feet, bronze is metal after all, thermal conductivity is much stronger than stone, the furnace is nearly a meter from the ground, I saw Ah Chuan bend down to drill under the furnace, the flashlight swept over, only to see that the depression was full of white things, not the milky white that ordinary people would think of, but as white as snow, dazzlingly white.

I noticed the white stuff while the fire was still burning, but I couldn't really see it through the flames, I didn't expect it to be so white, so white that it didn't fit in with the surroundings.

What's that, exactly?

Eleven didn't move, I also squatted down, lowered my head and moved to the edge of the depression, only to see that the depression was not only filled with the strange white thing, but also floated a layer of water more than ten centimeters deep, it seemed that this strange white thing was very dense.

It was so flat, it really looked like a layer of snow, and the water on the upper layer was still steaming, and I didn't dare touch it, because reaching out would definitely burn the blisters.

"What is this?" I looked at Ah Chuan, who was so well-informed that he might be able to recognize him.

Ah Chuan laughed: "You think I'm a god? There's a lot of stuff I've never seen. ”

I raised my head slightly, and my attention shifted to the center of the belly, and when there was a fire, I saw that there was a black pillar with a diameter of about two meters, and now that the fire was extinguished, the pillar was also presented in front of me.
