Chapter 028: Strange Stone Statue
"Fu Guodong, wake up, wake up."
Qiu Lao shook the team members who were contaminated with cyan substance, but the other party's numb expression did not change. Qiu Lao checked his heartbeat, it was getting slower and slower, and if he continued at this speed, his heartbeat would definitely stop in no more than a minute, which meant death. Qiu Lao increased his strength, but there was still no reaction, and he wanted to clean up the cyan substance on his hands, but found that it had merged with the skin.
Just when everyone was helpless, suddenly Fu Guodong stood up and directly pushed away the old man in front of him, and Lao Zheng, who was standing in the passage, was also pushed away. Lao Zheng saw Fu Guodong coming up and was ready, but the other party had a lot of strength, and he was pushed aside as soon as he fought. I saw Fu Guodong running straight to the depths of the passage, and the speed, like a gust of wind, had far exceeded the limit of human beings. Qiu Lao and the others knew Fu Guodong best, and this speed made them dumbfounded.
"Woo, woo......"
When everyone stopped tapping on the wall, another sound came, this time like a trumpet, a little low, and everyone felt inexplicably annoyed when they heard it. Lao Zheng was leaning against the wall, and hurriedly knocked violently, strange to say, the feeling of annoyance disappeared in an instant. Fu Guodong had disappeared at the end of his fellow paths at this time, Qiu Lao and the other two archaeological team members discussed, but decided to come forward to check, they couldn't just abandon their teammates.
Lao Zheng was a little hesitant, but the three of them were so righteous that their hearts were also infected, and they agreed to go together. Zheng Guan has always listened to Lao Zheng, so he naturally has no opinion, and Ahaiti is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, so how can he not go.
Qiu Lao is not blind to step forward, first take off a shoe, try it on the cyan substance, and it does not cause any changes, with a flashlight and paper test, there is no change, now it is certain that the mysterious cyan substance only reacts to the human body. Although everyone wrapped up their bare skin and walked forward slowly, Lao Zheng was still at the forefront, not because Lao Zheng was strong, but because he always felt that Qiu Lao was just a scholar and had no real skills.
Sure enough, everyone was tightly wrapped, and there was no change in the cyan substance, and the corner was in front of them, and they soon came to the end of the passage. At this time, the stagnant water in the passage was already four or five centimeters deep, and Ahaiti was not wearing long leather boots, and there was a danger of being contaminated by the cyan substance if he walked any further. Lao Zheng was not worried that Ahaiti would stay alone, and wanted an archaeological team member to stay with him, and was about to discuss with Qiu Lao, when there was a miserable laughter in front of him. It's obviously a laugh, but it brings a burst of coldness, and the sharpness in it makes people feel like they're falling into the abyss.
This laughter was definitely the voice of a person, and there was only Fu Guodong in front of him, Qiu Lao and the other two archaeological team members were worried, and they didn't think about it, and immediately ran forward. Several people ran at the same time, causing a splash of water, which could carry a cyan substance. Suddenly, Lao Zheng, Ahaiti, and the three members of the archaeological team were splashed with water, and suddenly the cyan substance spread on their bodies, even if Lao Zheng was only contaminated with a few drops, in a moment, the whole face turned cyan.
The three of them quickly lost consciousness and were about to fall to the ground, Qiu Lao and Zheng Guan also had an archaeological team member, one of whom helped one and went to the end of the passage, where the terrain was higher and there was no cyan substance. I don't dare to run now, the short distance takes a long time, and when I arrive, the breath of Lao Zheng and the others is already very weak.
Qiu Lao reacted very quickly when he was in the most critical situation, thinking that when he tested it with shoes just now, he was not contaminated with cyan substance, but it did not turn into water droplets like using a knife, could it be that cyan substances have a rejection of metal? Thinking of this, Qiu Lao immediately took out a knife from Lao Zheng's waist and was about to lean on Lao Zheng's face, but was stopped by Zheng Guan, thinking that Qiu Lao was going to be unfavorable to Lao Zheng.
"Let go, I'm here to save him." Qiu Lao roared angrily, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he suddenly broke free from Zheng Guan's shackles, and the knife square was on Lao Zheng's face, only to see that the cyan color quickly faded, and soon turned into water droplets, dripping directly, and was not absorbed by the clothes at all. After Lao Zheng's face recovered, he woke up in a moment, and Qiu Lao had already cured Ahaiti and another archaeological team member at this time.
There was no difference between being in a coma just now, in fact, Lao Zheng still had feelings, and could feel everything Qiu Lao had done, but there was a voice constantly ringing in his head, and he couldn't hear what he was saying, but he wanted to follow the voice, as if there was an irresistible temptation. The longer the time, the more blurred the original consciousness becomes, and at this time, a force appears in the body, a very powerful force, and it feels like the whole person can fly together. Lao Zheng wanted to turn over and get up, but at this moment, the coldness of the knife came, and his consciousness woke up almost instantly, and the voice that appeared in his mind disappeared. Such a strange thing has gone beyond Lao Zheng's consciousness, and now he vaguely understands why the master is always reluctant to mention this.
Although Lao Zheng and the three of them were fine, they all collapsed a little, and continued to move forward with the support of Qiu Lao and others. There is a circular arch in front of it, which requires you to bow your head to enter, and it is the same as the city gate when entering the labyrinth, which is completely inconsistent with the height of ordinary people. The space inside is not very large, the radius is only about seven meters, Lao Zheng and others have entered, it seems a little crowded. Everyone's eyes stayed in the middle, unmoved.
I saw Fu Guodong, kneeling in the middle, his body prostrate on the ground facing forward, like a devout believer, worshipping the god of faith. In front of Fu Guodong is a stone statue, without hands and feet, with many notches on its body, which looks like scales. The most bizarre thing is that the head of the stone statue, with only one eye, is the size of a fist, occupying one-third of the head. The stone statue's eyes are cyan, exactly the same color as the cyan substance seen outside, and it is not known what the connection between the two is. These huge eyes, still a little red, alternate with cyan from time to time, but cyan occupies most of the time, and yin red is only fleeting.
"Fu Guodong, get up quickly." An archaeological team member shouted, seeing that there was no response, he stepped forward and wanted to help Fu Guodong up, but he touched it lightly, and Fu Guodong fell to the ground, his face was covered with blood, his eyes didn't know where he went, his face was twisted together, extremely hideous, and the whole person was like a monster, which scared everyone back again and again.
It was not a long time since Fu Guodong left alone, what happened in the middle that made him look like this. Everyone looked around, but no eyeballs were found, except for the place where Fu Guodong knelt and worshipped, no blood stains were found. Zheng Guan reminded that Fu Guodong had blood stains on his right fingernails, as well as human skin and broken flesh, looking like this, it seemed that he had deducted his eyeballs alive. Thinking of this possibility, everyone felt a chill, and a feeling of nausea came.
Holding back the feeling of vomiting, the group searched around, but there was only a stone statue and nothing else. Lao Zheng stared at the stone statue, his eyes unconsciously moved to the huge eyes, and suddenly Lao Zheng seemed to see the master, waving to him, and kept scolding in his mouth, why didn't he hurry up. Lao Zheng subconsciously walked forward, and there were a few people like Qiu Lao who walked forward, but Ahaiti stood in place, curiously looking at the few people who were moving forward together. Ahaiti shouted a few times, but no one responded, only then did he realize that something was wrong, and immediately rushed forward and blocked in front of the stone statue.
Maybe it was blocking everyone's sight, and soon Lao Zheng and the others stopped, and they all came back to their senses at this time, and they all gasped loudly, and they all felt like they were about to suffocate. Just now, Lao Zheng and the others all hallucinated, as for why Ahaiti alone didn't have it, no one could explain it, just like it couldn't explain this weird stone statue.
After a few discussions, they decided to study the stone statue, which is now the end of the passage, and if they can't find the clue to the exit, they can only return the same way, or they will be trapped in the maze. Only Ahaiti was not affected by the stone statue, so he stepped forward, and Lao Zheng and Qiu Lao stood from afar and watched.
Ahaiti stepped forward and tried to move the stone statue, but found that the stone statue had taken root and did not move. In a fit of anger, Ahaiti grabbed the head of the stone statue with both hands, and violently forced, only to hear a loud "bang", the stone statue actually exploded, shaking Ahaiti away, Ahaiti's right hand was blurred, and all below the forearm were missing. Ahaiti screamed heartbreakingly, and Yunnan Baiyao did not relieve the pain, you must know that Ahaiti was shot without sound, which shows how much pain is now.
After the stone statue exploded, it was actually empty, there was a chrysalis about twenty centimeters long, and the strange thing was that there were still eyes, living eyes, and there were bloodshot next to them.
"This can't be Fu Guodong's eyes, right?" An archaeological team member suddenly exclaimed.
Fear spread in everyone's hearts, Fu Guodong's eyes could not be found at the scene, and now there are two human eyes on the unknown chrysalis, if it is not Fu Guodong, no one will believe it. It's just that the stone statue is closed, how does it get into the stone statue?
Suddenly, a layer of cyan material appeared on the ground in the small space, and then the surrounding stone walls and the top of everyone's heads were covered with cyan material. The cyan substance seemed to come to life, crawling up the feet of the crowd. Everyone wanted to get rid of it, but they couldn't get rid of it at all, but fortunately, they already knew that metal could fight against cyan substance, and there were more or two metal things on everyone's body, which were placed in the calf position, so they barely stopped the cyan substance from advancing rapidly. But this time, the cyan substance is very powerful, and the metal can only suppress and spread, and if you don't find a way to solve it, it will be swallowed by the cyan substance.
"The cyan substance should be born from the stone statue, and the stone statue suddenly appeared as soon as it was broken, how could it be such a coincidence."
As soon as Lao Zheng's words were finished, he saw that Ahaiti had already rushed forward, probably with a broken hand, resentment in his heart, and slammed on the chrysalis with his foot, the chrysalis seemed to have life, and let out a slight scream, and I don't know if it was an illusion. The pupae are fragile and shatter at the stroke of a single foot, and are all a slightly thick and sticky green liquid. As the chrysalis shattered, the cyan material around it quickly faded, as if it had been submerged into the air, and came and went without a trace.
