Chapter 251: Footsteps
In an instant, I was pulled away from the spot, staggering to Ah Chuan's side, and the wet hair was thrown away from my face, and my face was still stained with water, and a faint smell of sea water rushed into my nostrils.
What the hell is this!
I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, Achuan pulled me and ran forward quickly, there was a strong wind behind me, it was cold on the back of my neck, I heard something moving overhead, a series of droplets of water fell from the sky like raindrops, and shook us off.
There was something up there, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat, and I could feel that it was fast, and it was not small, it was jumping between two rock walls, and it was very agile.
The smell of the sea came with the whistling wind, this is the unique smell of sea creatures, I can't care about anything, just run forward with all my strength, the wound on my chest seems to be cracked, and it hurts deeply, the pain in my ankle has been very light, but now it is swollen again.
Agawa Shen ran shallow and shallow without falling into the wind, and the things above his head were still chasing us, and I always felt that it would be fast, but it seemed to be deliberately letting us escape, playing with us like a cat and mouse.
The sound of our footsteps was very chaotic, the backpack and oxygen cylinder behind us hit and made a series of chaotic sounds, muffling the sound overhead, I hadn't run so fast for a long time, I was out of breath for a long time, and when I inhaled, my lungs hurt terribly, I was slightly holding my breath and splitting my breath, and I ran straight so dizzy that my legs seemed to be filled with lead.
Ah Chuan kept pulling my wrist, I felt like I was dragging him down, and the route we ran was also very chaotic, and when I touched a rock crevice, I drilled, and I didn't know where I ran for a long time.
I was panting so hard that if I could see it, it would have been pitch black by now, and my body couldn't hold on any longer, and I stumbled and threw myself forward.
Ah Chuan grabbed me, my wrist was broken, almost broken, I couldn't help but scream, Ah Chuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, I only felt a softness under my feet, and sat down directly.
There was no sound, no more cold wind overhead, no more water dripping, the smell of the sea was much lighter, and the thing that was chasing us seemed to be gone.
I still didn't dare to ask, but I couldn't suppress my heavy breathing, Ah Chuan seemed to melt into the darkness, and there was no sound at all, if it wasn't for the constant pulling of me, I thought he had disappeared too.
When exactly did that thing disappear? Or is it still there, but I just hid myself, my legs and feet are finally not so sore, I gently moved my body, and helped Ah Chuan to stand up slowly.
Ah Chuan was motionless like a sculpture, I swallowed my saliva, looked up at the top of my head, knowing that I couldn't see anything, I still couldn't help but look around, the maze moved violently, the sound of rocks grinding one after another, and the thing really disappeared.
Just when I wanted to relax, Ah Chuan suddenly let go and stepped back suddenly, I heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air, and suddenly a strong wind swept through the side of my face, something was cut off, and then a wet mass of something was thrown on my face!
"Ahh
I couldn't help but scream, it stuck to my face with a cloud of slime, and I quickly reached out to shake it off, but Ah Chuan grabbed my wrist first, and jerked me in his direction.
Something fell to where I was standing, making a slight touch to the ground, Achuan reacted very quickly, pulling me forward and running a few meters away, I came back to my senses and hurried to keep up with his pace, just before I could rest, the escape began again.
That thing is still there! It's always with us! I couldn't hear anything as soon as I ran, and at first there was still the wind, but now it's gone, it's like it's gone again, and I can't hear that there's a living thing around me.
I couldn't run at all, I couldn't breathe, and the fishy sweet smell gushed deep in my throat, which made me nauseous, and the internal organs that had finally returned to their original positions were stirred up again, and it hurt everywhere.
I still couldn't detect the existence of that thing, and after a few runs through the rock crevice, Ah Chuan stopped again, and there was silence around him, he listened intently for a few seconds, and quickly said, "Not one." ”
My heart skipped a beat, what does that mean, isn't it the original one who is chasing us now? How many of them are there, and how did Ah Chuan hear it?
I was confused, I could only run with Ah Chuan, my whole body was soft, like I was in a soft tendon, Ah Chuan was almost dragging me forward, and ran through five or six rock crevices, Ah Chuan stopped again, I couldn't do anything but gasp for breath, and I didn't have the strength to pay attention to the top of my head.
There was no sound, Ah Chuan also seemed a little strange, let out a very low sound of doubt, no more monsters attacked, we stood for a long time this time and did not encounter an attack, I raised my short sword and swung it above my head several times, but I didn't touch anything.
It vanished again, probably hidden from a high place, out of our hearing, and the rocks here were bumpy again, and the depths of our feet were full of ravines, and we were far from the cavern where the skinless corpses were housed.
What's that, exactly?
I wiped my face, the skin that was touched by the wet hair was a little itchy, and there was a fine salt when I touched it, which was seawater, and there was a very light fishy smell, and the smell was mixed in the air, almost imperceptible.
I leaned close to Ah Chuan, listening intently to the movement around me, it really didn't seem to be there, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion, not only fear, but also because it chose to give up.
In the pitch black environment, it is almost impossible for us to dodge its attack, according to Ah Chuan, there is more than one such thing, they are very fast, and they can fly on the wall, there is no reason for them to suddenly appear to scare us and let us go.
What exactly is their purpose? I can't help but think of the owner of the severed hand, it has been hiding in the shadows and harassing, but it has not killed us directly, even if it was cut off by Eleven, it did not come to retaliate, but it has left us, and it has not been seen since.
This island is not simple, there are not only man-eating monsters, but also thinking creatures, like the chase just now, the more I think about it, the more I feel that they are driving us away, trying to take us somewhere.
"Achuan."
"Osawa."
Ah Chuan and I spoke at the same time, our voices overlapped, and after a pause of half a second, we said at the same time: "You speak first." ”
I didn't expect that I would have such a tacit understanding with Ah Chuan one day, I felt a little awkward, but Ah Chuan smiled: "I think they are trying to lead us to the path they want us to go." ”
"Uh, yes, I want to say that too." I was stunned for a moment and spoke.
Ah Chuan also saw it, my heart was heavy, God knows where they want us to go, and what awaits us.
"But it's just speculation, and I think we can verify it." Ah Chuan spoke again.
"Verify? How to verify? ”
I suddenly had a bad premonition, only to hear a bad laugh in the darkness, and Achuan pulled me to turn my head and walked in the direction I came.
This guy is still so crazy, his hands are pulled tightly like pliers, I don't want to go, I can't refuse, he definitely won't care what I think.
We returned to the previous rock crevice, just turned the corner, a drop of cold water fell on my face, I was startled, and retreated backwards, but Ah Chuan suddenly pulled me forward, I was about to open my mouth to refuse, only to hear a very light footsteps from the depths of the rock crevice behind me.
Ah Chuan's movements stopped immediately, and I froze in place in an instant, and the two of us had a tacit understanding, holding their breath together, and suddenly the footsteps became extremely clear.
Someone is walking, it's definitely the sound of people walking!
I couldn't hide my excitement, and subconsciously wanted to ask a question, but Ah Chuan suddenly raised his hand to cover my mouth, and quickly wrote a "no" behind my back with his other hand.
I was a little confused, but I quickly figured out that the sound was indeed like a human walking, but no one knew what it was, and if it was really a person, I didn't know if it was a companion or an enemy, and we couldn't expose it first.
Even though it was quiet, the sound of the footsteps was very small, it was at least five or six crevices away from us, and there was only a faint echo to us, the sound was sometimes loud and sometimes small, a little chaotic, I could hear that the man was tempting, he didn't know where the right path was, he dragged his steps, and it was not easy for him to walk.
This must be someone, the footsteps are a little louder, he is approaching us, Ah Chuan is still covering my mouth tightly, a thin layer of sweat has appeared in his palms, it is very cold.
Ah Chuan was very nervous, I could feel his body tense, as if he was going to attack at any time, he was too cautious, listening to this footsteps, there should be only one person, I'm afraid he was injured, even the enemy couldn't beat the two of us.
The footsteps were louder, he was approaching us, we were talking and walking just now, since he heard his footsteps, then he must have heard us, he was attracted by us, he was looking for us.
He must have suffered a lot of injuries and faltered, so I wasn't afraid to think about it like this, so I didn't look away while Ah Chuan wasn't paying attention, and asked tentatively: "Who?" ”
"You ......"
Ah Chuan said a vague syllable in a very low voice, he seemed surprised, and I was about to tell him that there was no need to be so nervous, but he suddenly let go of my hand, and his body moved away from me for a moment.
I'm a little inexplicable, even I can hear that person is in a bad state, Ah Chuan must also be able to hear it, although he is cautious, but he is not small in this situation, this time I don't know what's wrong, how can I be afraid of being like this.
I turned my head and tried to pull him, but I only heard a very soft footstep that was fading away, and in a few seconds it was completely gone, and he actually left me here and fled.
