Chapter 206: Strange Laughter
I didn't dare to speak again, his hand retracted, he quickly unloaded the equipment on his body, and threw it into the recess on the ground, nineteen of them all did the same, I also found a pit to throw the equipment away, the rock wall squirmed very fast, and it only took a dozen seconds to swallow up the backpack.
I don't feel good in my heart, there are all the sounds of crushing and shattering, I don't think these equipment will be spared, and now is not the time to worry about the equipment, the next one to be crushed is us.
The rock wall above us was slowly closing, we could not continue to stand, and the rock walls around us were getting closer, and there was no room to squat, so I bowed my head and hugged the back of my neck like the nineteens, and the five of us bent down face to face, compressing our bodies to the minimum.
There was a slight "crackling" sound, and I watched their bodies shrink, I had seen Achuan shrink his bones a long time ago, but I didn't expect them all to be, even Brother Shen was no exception, Nineteen suddenly reached out and pulled me and stuffed me into their encirclement, he forcibly pressed me down, I squatted down and looked up at them, their bodies were clinging to the lines of the rock like water, the bones were twisted and did not look like a human form, at first glance it looked like the scene of a large car accident.
I know this description is very strange, but the first reaction is like this, the bones in their bodies are misplaced, soft and collapsed, ordinary people will definitely think they have seen a ghost when they see this scene.
The rock wall was still shrinking, and I tried my best to shrink my body to be smaller, and the four people were clinging to me, as if I was wrapped in a mass of rotten flesh with bones, and the flashlight stuffed in my arms hurt my ribs, and I took it out and threw it at my feet, and I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't tell who was who, they seemed to dissolve into one.
The space was getting cramped, it was stuffy and hot, I was sweating a lot, and so were them, the wet mass couldn't tell anything, and the squeezing felt terrible, but I couldn't complain, they were only more upset than me, and those rock walls still had the sharp edges of sea creatures, and it must have felt like being rolled over by a mace.
Time seemed to stand still, there was not a trace of sound around, they seemed to be gone, not even the sound of breathing, I didn't dare to get out of the atmosphere, it was too crowded, my lungs couldn't stretch and breathe normally, and the excess oxygen had long been squeezed out.
It came from under my feet, and I could feel the shaking of the floating island, as if it was one with the island, and I wonder if it was because they were holding it outside, and the squeezing seemed to stop.
This movement lasted for three or four minutes, and I felt a sudden lightness in my body, a sudden decrease in pressure, and the rock wall actually retracted.
We were already hiding in a depression, and it didn't seem like the stone wall would fill all the gaps as I thought, because it was stone and couldn't really flow like a liquid.
They just loosened up a little, didn't stand up, the space around them became significantly larger, the humid air flowed into the lungs, it was cool and comfortable, I picked up the flashlight, only to see them straighten up, the bones "snapped" a few times like lubricant to return to their original positions, Ah Chuan's left arm was still half-hanging, he broke it with his right hand, and pushed the bone back.
"I haven't practiced for a long time, and it hurts." Seeing me look at him, Ah Chuan smiled.
The cave is like a blooming flower, slowly squirming back to its original position, except for the friction of the stone walls and various small creatures, there is not a trace of noise, if it is really a machine, it is impossible to be so quiet, not to mention that thousands of years have passed, and the floating island is in corrosive seawater, and no matter how strong the material is, it should be corroded.
This is definitely a miracle, I am more and more convinced that there are immortals on the island, the cave is basically back to its former appearance, those closed rock crevices are gradually opened, and the passages reappear in front of us, our equipment is revealed little by little, the backpack has obvious squeezing marks, but it is not heavy, I opened it and took a look, and the contents inside were almost undamaged.
Nineteen didn't hesitate, picked up and walked briskly towards one of them, I hurried to follow, and in the distance I saw the human skin figurine standing in the middle of the rock crevice, he had obviously been squeezed, but he still stood there straight, and there was no trace of damage, I walked past it, my eyes stared at its face without blinking, I always felt that it had changed, and there was a slight emotion on its originally numb face, and the corners of its mouth seemed to be slightly upturned.
No one questioned this, and they certainly could see what I could see, and the change was so obvious that it was like being given life and becoming a flesh-and-blood person.
My voice slowed down a lot, the rock didn't move anymore, I walked over, I couldn't help but look back a few times, I had stepped on it, I knew what was stuffed into it, it was like an exhaust machine, it could be squeezed flat, but it could puff itself up when there was enough air.
These figurines were definitely not simple ornaments, but I couldn't think of any use for them, we drilled through a few crevices in the rock, and we went to places where we had never walked before, and there were no traces of squeezing.
The labyrinth's activity seemed to stop, and I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when there was a sudden movement under my feet, and the rocks below squirmed like the surrounding rock walls, and lifted me up, and I was startled, and I leaped forward, and bumped into Nineteen, who reached out and helped me.
The rocks on both sides began to close again, and even our feet shook, and they were not fast, and we were not going to fall, and the group ran and jumped towards the exit, and it seemed that the labyrinth was not intended to give us a respite.
It was enough, until now we didn't even see the shadow of the cemetery, we ran to the end of the rock crevice, Nineteen froze slightly, suddenly jumped up, I didn't have time to react, I threw myself forward and fell directly into the water, fortunately my mouth closed quickly, otherwise I would have poured a large mouthful of seawater.
There was a hole full of water in front of me, bigger than all the caves I had seen before, I waved my hands and feet to the surface, and saw that nineteen of them were picking up the rocks on both sides, I was the closest to Brother Shen, he bent slightly and stretched out his hand to me, I was about to stretch out my hand, but I felt a sinking under my feet, and something very heavy grabbed my ankle.
Definitely the master of that hand! The touch is exactly the same, but the force is greater, I suddenly lost strength, choked on a mouthful of water, subconsciously shook my arms, the water surface is no longer calm, and there are even more splashes under the water, I look down, but I can't see anything clearly.
I let out a few muffled screams, and I saw two figures jump into the water in unison, and the splash hit me in the face, and suddenly my ankle loosened, and the guy who had grabbed me let go.
The cave became like a giant flush toilet, and the water in the cave swirled and flowed into the darkness ahead, and soon my feet touched the ground, and Brother Shen grabbed my wrist so hard that the force of the water was not great, but he pinched it very painfully.
The water quickly ran out, and I looked underneath my feet and there was a solid rock underneath, again without any gaps, but I did get caught.
"Did you see the thing that grabbed me?" It was salty and bitter in my mouth, and my voice was hard to hear.
"You're fluttering so hard, the devil can see it." Ah Chuan jumped down, and he also looked unwilling, and took a closer look.
"Is it the same as last time?" Nineteen asked.
I nodded, feeling that the atmosphere was getting more and more oppressive, even if the rocks here would move, they must have been sealed at that time, otherwise the water would flow down, could that thing really be a ghost?
I feel angry, what is it to be sneaky like this, if you have the ability, you will come out to arrest me, there are so many of us together, even if it is a ghost, it is not afraid, but it always sneaks up on me, are you still afraid that we will not succeed.
Everyone's eyes were on me, and I was helpless, maybe it was really because I was weak.
"Alright, hurry up."
Nineteen said a word, and went forward, and I realized that it was a gourd-shaped cave, and we entered this end with a small head, and climbed through a narrow hole, and on the other side there was more space and low ground, and the water flowed down from here, but now I could not see the outlet.
At the bottom of the cave stood four figurines, and I was completely attracted by them, they were almost the same as the ones we had seen before, except that the corners of their mouths were curved, and they were actually laughing.
I felt that the hairs all over my body stood up, and my eyes were still ordinary, with a weird smile, it was more like the Gu King Warriors I had seen before, and the thing that didn't smile appeared again.
The whole hole was cold, and I couldn't help but hug my arms, it was so weird, I don't know if they were made different, or if they really changed their expressions, they were still in a messy position, and they were placed irregularly.
Ah Chuan was puzzled: "Huh? I took a closer look at them vigilantly, and I took a closer look, and their facial features were indeed painted, but the oil paint had already penetrated deep into the skin, how could the things painted change it, was this really oil paint?
I snorted and took a few steps back away from them, and Ah Chuan looked like he couldn't hold back, he had always been interested in these things, and now he must have wanted to dissect them.
The one I saw earlier was not an illusion, I had already noticed that the expressions of the figurines had changed, but these were more obvious, I didn't know what that meant, what exactly did the master here want to send to us, was he saying that we were welcome to hell?
The rock face began to creep slightly, forcing us forward, and nineteen entered a crevice in the rock, and the path we walked seemed to be getting lower and lower.
I looked up, the stone wall was getting higher and higher, and we were going deeper and deeper into the center of the island, which seemed to be alive, and the rock wall was constantly expanding and wriggling, and even the ornaments were becoming more like real people.
We walked cautiously, and even if we didn't make a sound, the surrounding rock walls were moving, and they were no longer aimed at us, but moved naturally, and I was more and more surprised that it must have been moving like this for thousands of years.
