Chapter 61: Bone-chilling

Just as Chu Cheng was thinking about how to enter the "hall" in the safest way, a piercing cry for help suddenly sounded not far ahead!

"Help! Help me! The voice was very high-pitched, as if frightened to the extreme, and even the tone was visibly distorted.

"Could it be someone from the Eagle Regiment?" Chu Cheng's heart was shocked, and he only felt that this voice seemed to be somewhat familiar.

"Please...... Who's going to save me! The cry for help drew nearer and closer, and at the same time, from the darkness ahead, there was a sudden slimy creeping sound, followed by a strange "cluck" cry.

Chu Cheng's pupils contracted slightly, and he saw a wriggling "pipe" drill out from behind a piece of metal.

"Help me! Help me! ”

The terrible cry for help continued, and the wriggling pipe stood up from the ground like a snake, revealing the internal structure like a fleshy esophagus, and pounced directly on Chu Cheng.

Chu Cheng exerted force at his waist, and his body moved sideways like antelope horns, easily avoiding the monster's attack.

The strength of the musculature continued to increase, and the speed and strength displayed by Chu Cheng became more and more terrifying.

However, at the moment when the body and the monster were staggered, Chu Cheng saw that on the surface of the monster's inorganic body, there seemed to be a vague ...... faces.

What kind of face was that, like a living skeleton in high decay, with white teeth and gums directly exposed. However, in the skull's eye socket, there was an unusually vivid eyeball, which was spinning back and forth in horror......

Fear! Resentment! Helpless! It's better to live than to die!

Even if they were far away, Chu Cheng could clearly feel the despair bursting from that eyeball.

What's even more creepy is that the cry for help just now came from this face.

The cold hairs behind Chu Cheng stood up, if it was just an ordinary monster, his reaction would not be so great.

What really shocked Chu Cheng was...... Although the outline of that face was hideous and blurred, Chu Cheng recognized the owner of this face, who was attacking the camp by the face-eating insects...... One of the members of the Dead Eagle Regiment!

Chu Cheng thought about it, and at this moment, from the front of the monster's body cavity, more than a dozen lines of flesh as slender as hair suddenly erupted.

These meat lines seem to be light, but they are actually extremely fast, but fortunately, Chu Cheng's premonition of danger predicted the trajectory of the meat line at the first time, and quickly withdrew from the range of the meat line.

The "Zizi ......" meat line fell on the metal ground, making a piercing corrosion sound, and it was foreseeable that if this fell on a person, Rao is Chu Cheng's physical strength would also be corroded in half.

"Why!? Why don't you save me!! A terrible, desperate roar was especially piercing in the silent darkness.

However, in the next moment, a cyan arc of sword light slashed across the distorted face, cutting the monster's body in half.

"Tear up." The scarlet blood spilled, and the monster's body was cut off by the waist in an instant, and after a few convulsions, it was silent, leaving only the resentful screams that belonged to humans, which still echoed in the air, and did not disperse for a long time!

Chu Cheng sighed lightly, in order to prevent the roar from attracting more monsters, he could only kill the other party ruthlessly.

There was a rustling sound around, obviously the smell of blood and the roar just now had attracted something, Chu Cheng didn't dare to stay in place, and quickly entered the range of the "hall", and his body immediately disappeared into the darkness.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Chengcai stopped with a pale face, and the several sources of danger that locked him had been thrown off by him.

Chu Cheng was sure that the cry for help just now ...... And that face, it's definitely a dead member of the Eagle Regiment, yes!

But how could the voice of a dead man appear on the body of a face-eating insect?

"Could it be that when that person was killed by the face-eating worm, a part of his consciousness became part of the face-eating worm!?" Chu Cheng felt a chill in his heart, he really couldn't imagine that when a person died in fear and pain, only to find that he survived and partially merged with the monster, what should it be...... What a terrible and desperate end!

Chu Cheng thought about it, but his body did not pause.

At this moment, the ground under his feet was trampled, and a strange "rustle" sound suddenly sounded.

Chu Cheng suddenly lowered his head and saw a large patch of white gravel scattered on the ground under his feet!

"Gravel?" Chu Cheng frowned, only feeling that the white gravel under his feet was particularly eye-catching in this world based on black mechanical bodies.

"No, these aren't grit!" Chu Cheng picked up a little unknown thing on the ground with his hand, and his body suddenly shook slightly.

Chu Cheng rushed into the area covered by the "gravel", and soon turned out a half-decayed skeleton from the pile of "gravel".

The skeleton was so badly decayed that it scattered into granular bone chips at the slightest touch, just like the white gravel around it.

"This grit...... It's all bone chips from decaying bones!? How many bones are there! ”

Chu Cheng was stunned, as he continued to go deeper, there were really more and more bones in front of him, and there was even a faint tendency to pile up into mounds.

For some reason, the bones here were relatively well preserved, which made Chu Cheng quickly confirm one thing.

These bones...... It's all faceless!

To be precise, the bones of these skeletons' faces are incomplete, as if when the corpses died, the flesh on their faces, along with part of their facial bones, was cut off...... Taken!

Chu Cheng's heart became more and more uneasy, and he had a strong premonition that the white bones that appeared here had a close connection with the face-eating insects!

No signs of automatons were found in the area, as if the area was off-limits.

Chu Cheng continued to walk towards the depths of the pile of white bones, and soon found a strange building in pitch black.

The shape of the building, like a black "tombstone", stands in the center of a large pile of white bones.

Its main body has been flooded with stacked skeletons. From a distance, it seems that these skeletons were frantically trying to get into this "tombstone" building before they died, and their scalps were numb when they saw it.

Chu Cheng approached the "tombstone", and he saw that there was a row of keyhole-like jacks on the "tombstone".

Chu Cheng summoned the master key and tried to use it, but with a piercing sound of metal rubbing, the "tombstone" actually opened from the center.

A thick aura of decay erupted, and Chu Cheng hurriedly retreated, and when the aura of decay dissipated, he saw a shriveled corpse curled up inside the "tombstone".

The corpse looked similarly old, but it looked much better than the faceless skeletons outside. Although the body of the corpse is still white bones, it is very well preserved. Chu Cheng saw that the corpse was even covered with a layer of dry human skin, giving people a bit of a mummy.

Judging by the size of the skeleton, the owner of this corpse should be a woman.

At this moment, Chu Cheng noticed that there seemed to be something hidden in the palm of the corpse's clenched hand.

Chu Cheng broke the dry yellow skin on the corpse's right hand, and suddenly a long black strip with two fingers wide and one finger long, with complex secret patterns engraved on the surface, fell out.

Chu Cheng picked up the thing from the ground, and the moment his fingers touched the thing, he heard a "poof", and a sharp needle suddenly popped out of the inside of the thing.
