Chapter 61: The Red Ghost

The thick-legged stone chain was pulled straight by the winch a few meters in diameter, and there was an intermittent rattling sound, followed by a fishy wind, which smelled really bad, like an octopus rotten in the sun;

I covered my nose and carried the dagger, and my body naturally retreated, until I retreated to the edge of the stone wall, and there was no way to avoid it, and the flames in the oil lamp around me flickered wantonly in the fishy wind, and shook so many times that only a fire head was left but would not be extinguished, such a design made me admire;

The fishy smell is getting heavier and stronger;

Almost a moment after I hid in the corner of the stone wall, the sound of metal striking faintly came from the ground where the huge winch was like a millstone, which at first was only like a curtain man's blowing, but in only a minute or two it was a tinkling bell, and very regular;

I had the courage to tiptoe close to the winch away from the stone chain and found that I had shouted a few times down through the gap between the winch and the ground, and the shouting was heartbreaking, and I felt that my lungs had been twisted together;

The gap between the ground and the winch seems to be only a millimeter apart, and the edges of the two have apparently been worn out over time to smooth each other;

But the metal crash did not stop with my roar, and tended to grow louder and louder, so that I instantly dismissed the idea that it was a human sound, and quickly got up again and hid back against the stone wall;

But the moment I turned the winch, suddenly! Out of the corner of his eye, he found that something on the stone chain seemed to be wriggling against the surface of the chain, and the speed of the wriggling was not fast, at first glance, it looked like a clump of glossy red hair was winding around the stone chain, slowly crawling towards the winch;

"What the is this?" I believe that no matter who changes to this semi-claustrophobic underground, seeing so many things like red ghost hair squirming towards the hole where they are, I am afraid that even the courage to take a look may not exist;

I've seen a lot of battles over the years, and even the little lady has come over without danger at the moment of life and death, but in a situation like this, it's the first time I've been alone in it, after all... What could have threatened my life before, whether it was Scarface or Enchantress or Demon Crow, whether it was an evil spirit crow or a demon ghost, except for those big white flesh worms, all existed in my known world, or things that could find the prototype of existence, but what I saw now crushed my imagination to the limit;

In a state of horror, I felt an urge to step forward and pull away the slimy red hair to see what was going on, and I had even pointed the dagger in my hand straight at the clumps of surging red hair, when in fact the distance between me and the stone chain was only five or six paces at best, and it would never take three seconds between one advance and one retreat;

But as soon as I hesitated consciously, the confidence in my heart instantly leaked out, and my behavior was not fast, I moved my body forward a little bit with a dagger, and my eyes stared at the red hair that was endless and could not see the end;

It had the advantage of that, at least in this state of high nervous tension, my attention was completely absorbed by the disgusting stuff, and instead I pulled the already screeching ghost sound out of my consciousness;

It wasn't until the crimson hair-like thing really caught my pupils that I understood what it was, and almost at the same time, the disgusting things, which seemed to have eyes, discovered me, and slowly stood upright against the surface of the stone chain;

I've seen this thing before, remember those red coniferous seaweeds that I met with Huya and DanDan on the edge of the cliff where we first met the witch? I'm not sure if it's the ghosts of the sea, for it's not in the sea, and they're not scattered in the water, but at least from the little strand that stands upright, there is a great resemblance between the two;

They didn't seem to be of much interest to me, and in an instant everything was back to its original calm, and they were wrapped around the stone chains, and then around the huge winch that existed like a two-story building;

The seaweed in the crevices was still spreading endlessly into the cavern, which made me very glad that I resisted the urge to crawl out of the cave when I first saw these two stone chains, otherwise... I can even imagine myself being strangled to death wrapped in these thousands of strands of hair;

The metal pounding in the ground continues, but the rhythm is noticeably chaotic;

In this chaotic situation, my head is rarely not confused, but extraordinarily sober, maybe only when I leave the protection of Huya and Bald Man and others will I have such a clear thinking, "Could it be that the people of the lame team are below?" Are they crying for help? ", I thought to myself;

But I can't judge the progress of the matter anymore, the blood-red coniferous seaweed has wrapped the top layer of the winch tightly, and strangely enough, they seem to be interested only in that layer, and there is not even a trace of red to be found on the middle and lower layers;

As more and more red attached, the upper winch pulled the stone chain harder as if it had been wound up, and at the same time, the tapping sound at the bottom of the winch became louder, reaching the limit of the decibel I could bear, and my brain seemed to be about to be pierced by the sound;

"Not good", I suddenly realized what might happen next, this group of miscellaneous uncles, the sound of the king hammer smashing the little widow in front of my eyes Lao Tzu couldn't bear it, looking at the direction of the winch and the red algae pulling the stone chain while rotating, there will be a bigger noise later;

While secretly scolding the ancestors of the designer, he held the dagger in his mouth and covered his ears with his free hands, and then quickly ran to the farthest corner from the winch from this stone cave. I even shoved my fingers into my ears to lighten the impact of the piercing knock a little;

I almost mixed garlic on the soles of my feet, and crawled to the corner in the dark, it is strange to say, such a loud noise came from the ground, but I didn't feel the tremor of the ground at all, I wanted to bow down and put my head and internal organs on the ground, in order to reduce the stimulation of the sharp sound waves on my body, but at this moment, I was about to bow my head but was surprised to find that the originally smooth stone wall around me, suddenly bulged outward a little, and what surprised me even more was that this raised part turned out to be a groove, Just enough to hide the body in it;

But when I really shrunk my stomach and squeezed my body into the groove raised by the stone wall to avoid the sound waves, I found that there was still space in the groove that was twisted and twisted, and the stone wall in the cave happened to form a "bow" shaped corridor, and there was a faint light flickering outside the corridor;

This turned out to be a secret door......
