Chapter 203: Human Skin Figurines

This kind of scene is actually very funny, the two parties are scared of each other when they meet, I don't know who is terrible, these deep-sea creatures who are in the dark environment all the year round are very afraid of light, no matter how weird and terrifying they look, the first reaction to see the light is to run away, put yourself in the shoes of these creatures, if you are these creatures, suddenly see a strange-looking two-legged monster emitting a dazzling light, you will definitely run away.

I don't feel scared when I think about it, I turn off the flashlight, it's enough for Brother Shen and Ah Chuan to turn on one after the other, and there is no need to be afraid if you can't see it, I just think that there are rocks on both sides, and it is easier to have myopia at this time.

The feet are uneven, and the sides are also littered with rocks, I walked up and down the rocks on one side, the stones covered by seaweed were slippery and difficult to walk, and the narrower ones were not easy to fall, my balance was much stronger, and I was able to find my center of gravity in time when I almost fell down several times.

There are so many shellfish that we don't need to bring with us, we just roast them when we need to, but these creatures are completely beyond my knowledge, and there may be poisonous mixtures in them, but I can tell the difference between mussels and oysters.

It's not like a mausoleum at all, it's completely natural, there is not the slightest trace of artificiality, Nineteen won't lie, maybe it's too long, the traces of artificiality are covered, the sea is the easiest place to bury secrets, not to mention a thousand years and a hundred years, a few years is enough to erase everything.

The constant "creaking" of shellfish being trampled under their feet made our arrival a disaster for them, and these shells stood in clusters and were difficult to walk, even if they were wearing thick rubber shoes.

There was another fork in the road ahead, and there were five of them, and Nineteen entered one of them without hesitation, and we all followed, the road was difficult to walk, and it was still natural, the island was not big, and we were gradually approaching the core.

There was no danger at all, and I felt a lot more relaxed, except for the strange "bang" sound that continued, there was no other movement around, no shadows of dangerous creatures, and no hostile people, so quiet that it made it easier to fall into another kind of fear.

I felt a little thirsty, my face was very dry, and I touched a handful of salt full of white flowers, salt makes our body more prone to dehydration, but I dare not drink it, there is no water supply here, and supplies must be saved.

There were forks in the road ahead, they couldn't be called roads at all, they were just narrow and messy crevices, and piles of shellfish and marine secretions blocked the already narrow rock crevices, and I could see through the messy crevices that there was a pathway behind them, but I couldn't get through them at all.

Four or five rock crevices were scattered across the rocks, and Nineteen pressed the rock next to one of the crevices, and jumped into it with a slight leap sideways, and the shellfish made a "crackling" cracking sound, and he jumped nearly a meter high, standing on these rough rocks.

This crack in the rock was almost completely blocked, and there was still cover behind it, and Nineteen stepped on it sideways, and stretched out his hand to me, and Brother Shen held my leg on it, and Nineteen pulled it, and picked me up, and the little fur I had practiced was not needed here at all.

The rock crevice is too narrow, we can only carry the equipment sideways, obviously there is a wider road, but Nineteen chose this one, this must be Ah Qing's instructions, but unfortunately I can't hear from him.

The cracks in the rock were full of sharp shells and stone ridges, I felt like I was going to be crushed into a meatloaf, nineteen slowly moved against the stone wall, I also tried to be careful, but to no avail, there were always places all over the body that I didn't notice, the shells cut across the body, it hurt very much, and everywhere I went, I would inevitably leave bruises.

It was not easy for the nineteenth to open the way, I saw him pull out an iron rod from his backpack to clear the obstacles in front of him, obviously he could use more force, but he knocked very carefully, he was trying to control not to make a loud noise, I couldn't help but think of Ah Chuan's words, could it be that yelling here will attract something?

I stepped on a pile of shells, like barefoot jumping on a massage mat, muffled pain as if I was about to cramp, Brother Shen also squeezed in, Nineteen seemed to be in trouble, he suddenly exerted force, and I heard the sound of a heavy object falling.

This time it was very loud, and suddenly the rock wall behind me suddenly retreated, I was startled, and quickly straightened up, the rock wall was really moving, and it could only be sideways, but now it can be more than halfway.

Nineteen's movements immediately stopped, and I turned my head to look at the rock wall, which was obviously connected to the whole island, how could it say that it moved, or did Nineteen run into some mechanism?

It's not that simple here, I turned on the flashlight, and saw the rock that had been knocked down by Nineteen, it was just an ordinary rock covered with sea creatures, I couldn't help but raise my hand and touch the rock wall on the right, rough and cold, algae-ridden, and it was also a real rock.

"What's going on?"

No one answered me, Nineteen was agile and quickly ran through this road, I hurried to follow, my mind was full of incredible, the rock crevice really widened in an instant, did it still have ears?

The sense of crisis suddenly came, and the mentality that had just calmed down was gone, and I couldn't help but look up, and after looking around, I didn't find anything unusual about this rock wall.

The end of the rock crevice suddenly opened up, about a meter wide, but it was more difficult to walk under the feet, the uneven rocks were full of fine seaweed, very slippery, and nearly half a meter deep of stagnant water, everyone turned on the flashlight and shone under their feet, the fine seaweed floated in the water, and there was nothing under their feet.

I could only stare at the outline of the rock, holding on to the rock wall with one hand and walking slowly, this kind of rugged road was too physically demanding, and one step was worth the usual five steps.

There are still no traces of artificial excavation, but the space above our heads is larger, and we seem to be walking in a maze, and the rock walls on both sides are slippery, even if I have eight legs, I can't climb up.

The rocks here weren't very messy, but there were too many of the sea creatures that were growing there, and we hid as we walked, and strange noises sounded from time to time under our feet, and I could feel a lot of things being alarmed by us and scattering in all directions.

There are too many gaps in the rocks on both sides, if it is really artificially excavated, it can only mean that this place is in disrepair and dilapidated, and it is also, after all, it is more than 2,000 years old.

I looked up, the space in the island is really large, as if the whole island has been hollowed out, if it is really built by man, it is definitely a miracle, I can't imagine what method people used thousands of years ago to dig a floating island into this shape, is it really an immortal practice?

This road should be right, there are many rock crevices on both sides, but they can't be walked, there are still many forks in the road, Nineteen made a choice without hesitation, this must be the road pointed out by A-Qing, and I am a little relieved.

Crevices that are sometimes wide and sometimes narrow have become commonplace, and we either enter the water or walk on the wet rocks, and I don't know where we go, and I feel like I've already circled the whole island, but I haven't even reached the core.

There were several crevices in the rock ahead, and Nineteen turned into one, and I mechanically followed, but he suddenly stopped, and I was startled, and I stretched out my head to see a figure standing in the darkness ahead.

It was an ordinary man, nothing weird, he stood there motionless, unresponsive to our light.

We were too far away to see anything clearly, Nineteen casually unscrewed a mussel from the rock wall next to him and threw it over, with a slight "plop" sound, the water splashed, and the mussel landed in front of the figure, he must have been splashed with water, but still did not react.

I swallowed my saliva and stood stiff, unable to hear anything but the "bang" that had been lingering in my ears, and everyone stopped moving, and we were far away from the figure.

Nineteen suddenly turned his head and startled me, he didn't look at me, but looked at Brother Shen, who walked past me and walked to the front, and said softly: "It's okay." ”

Nineteen walked forward again, the Mo family was too careful this time, the hanging man bronze spear in the past was much more terrifying, and they didn't slow down to show a trace of hesitation, this time the Mo family was really bottomless.

I distinctly felt that everyone's footsteps had slowed down, and we were getting closer and closer to the figure, but it still did not move, and Nineteen threw out another mussel, which struck it accurately, and made an indescribably strange sound, not a stone, but soft.

Things that have been sealed in the tomb for thousands of years will definitely not have this kind of sound, and if it were a living person, it should have been a reaction a long time ago, I became more and more nervous, I didn't dare to look at it and couldn't hold it, the light was getting brighter and brighter, and I saw that it was really a person.

Its facial features are lifelike, its long black hair is drenched in water, wet and sticking to its body, it seems to be alive at first glance, it is not wearing clothes, it may have long been rotten, we are getting closer and closer, until we stop in front of it, we find that it is a figurine, its facial features are all painted, I don't know what paint is used, it has penetrated into the skin, and it has not faded after being blistered for so many years.

Its whole body was a miserable crimson gray, staring at it, expressionless, numb, it made people panic, nineteen raised the iron rod and stabbed it, only to see that its skin was slightly sunken, and quickly returned to its original state, and it was as elastic as a living person.

I couldn't help but reach out and poke it, it was as soft as tanned leather, but it wasn't empty inside, it was filled with things.

"It's real human skin, and so is the hair." Brother Shen spoke.

I retracted my hand like an electric shock, feeling a little disgusting, and then looking at its facial features everywhere with evil energy, I suddenly found the most discordant place of this human skin figurine, it stood in the water like this, its whole body was smooth and there were no sea creatures attached, lonely and strange, not to mention that if the floating island sank to the bottom of the sea, it would definitely float up, and it was impossible to still retain a stable posture.
