Chapter 474: Tailgating

The black smoke traveled much faster than we could run, and in the blink of an eye, the smoke that had just surpassed us by about a meter had now surpassed us by at least ten meters.

I don't know exactly where the smoke came from, but I have a hunch that once we get wrapped in this thing, we're done.

It moves too fast, and it only cares about running with its head bored, and sooner or later it will be hit.

I quickly calculated in my heart, trying to find a solution in the shortest possible time, but I didn't dare to hesitate at all, and still ran with my life.

Because the prisoner in front of us did not stop, we naturally have no reason to stop, not to mention that his mind is very stable at the moment, it is not only stable, it is almost a kind of solid firmness, as if he is 100% sure that he can break out of danger.

At this time, the field of vision was almost completely enclosed by the black envelope, and the black smoke firmly blocked the light, and the world in front of me went from bright to gray in a few seconds.

Without lights, there's no way to determine how close the black smoke is to you, and the only thing you can do now is to keep running to the prisoner's voice while keeping your balance so you don't fall.

Walking in the dark, it feels like you can hit a wall with every step, but even then, you can't slow down even a minute.

The burnt smell became more and more intense, and at first I didn't think it was particularly unpleasant, but now, it almost crushed the last of my senses, and when the snort was soaked in the smell, you felt the whole back of your head be stuffy, from your neck to the base of your ears, all numb.

I know that when this smell completely occupies all my internal organs, it will be my time of death.

At this moment, the sound of the original "Sisuo" was incessant, and suddenly there was a dead silence in front of me, and I could no longer hear the prisoner's movements!

At that moment, I was extremely panicked, but the first thing that came to my mind was Yunsheng running beside me, and I reached out to touch her, hoping to find her immediately.

I didn't know what I would be able to do even if I found Yunsheng, and at that moment, I might just instinctively want to find her.

After two or three dips of my palm, I touched Yunsheng's shoulder, and then, I felt a sudden burst of snort, and the smell of burnt paste was so strong that it disappeared in an instant, just like the movement of a prisoner.

I did feel my snort at first, and then I realized that the light was bright.

At this point, we had rushed out of the area covered in black smoke and entered a large and incomparably open space.

The reason why the prisoner suddenly stopped moving was because he stopped, and he squatted less than three meters away from me and Yunsheng, like a dog sitting on the ground, straightening up and shrugging his nose with all his might.

I glanced at Yunshang, and saw that Yunshang also looked frightened, and the feeling of running wildly in the dark just now was indeed very poor.

I leaned over to Yunshang and hugged her shoulder, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned her head on my shoulder.

In the prisoner's eyes, Yunshang and I may not exist, and now he still ignores us, trying to smell the air.

I glanced around, and there was a huge hole dug by man, round and about twenty meters in diameter, and the traces of the hoe and chisel were clearly discernible on the wall of the pit.

On the wall of the pit facing me, there was a rather wide opening, and strangely, the edge of the door looked very smooth, showing a perfect fluid shape, with no traces of chiseling at all, and it looked like it was naturally formed.

The prisoner shrugged his nose a dozen times in a row, and finally stopped, and I could feel that his heart was very happy at this time, like a hungry man, who had just eaten a gluttonous feast.

He tilted his head at the doorway, seemed to think for a moment, then turned and looked the way he came.

Can you turn back now?

I didn't dare to be careless, staring at the prisoner, he didn't turn around like the man in white last time, and his soul was gone, and he became a lifeless ice sculpture.

He was alive and well, and in his eyes, I could see a nostalgia for the past.

He seems to ...... I miss the place where he was once held.

I also wanted to see what kind of road I had just walked, so I turned around and looked behind me.

Looking up, the spiral ladder is like a huge drill bit, extending down from an unknown height, and in the face of such a behemoth, human beings like us are like a stubborn rock under the mountain.

It's hard to imagine that such a thing was created by people hundreds of years ago.

No, it's not human, it's made by vampires.

At this time, the black smoke entrenched at the bottom of the spiral staircase had gradually dissipated, like ink diluted by water, getting lighter and lighter, more and more dispersed, and it seemed that it was about to disappear completely.

In my field of vision, it was just some simple black tobacco, but I always felt that there seemed to be something else lurking in the depths of the black smoke just now.

I couldn't figure out why the prisoner had to bring this black smoke to him, if he hadn't suddenly retreated half a step, the smoke wouldn't have appeared.

What would happen if the black smoke didn't appear, and if it didn't, we would still be stuck on the spiral staircase.

Supposedly, with the position we were in at the time, it was impossible to reach the bottom of the spiral staircase so quickly, as if after the black smoke appeared, we made a spatial jump in some sense, and moved a distance of dozens of kilometers at once.

I know this may sound a bit mysterious, but since I entered the Inland Sea, I haven't encountered many mystical things.

There are many things that I can't even think through and can't explain.

But I firmly believe that some of the mysteries in this world must have their reasonable explanations.

Yunshang tugged at my cuffs, and when I looked back, I saw the prisoner crawling slowly towards the entrance of the cave with his limbs propped up on the ground.

At the moment, there was no other choice but to continue to follow him.

We followed behind the prisoner, slowly stepping into the hole, as soon as we entered the cave, the vision darkened, there was no light in the cave, only some scattered glowstone on the cave wall, that kind of stone should be radioactive, can faintly emit a light blue shimmer in the dark, but the light is too dim, at first I was thinking, maybe when I get used to the darkness, I can use those glimmers to see the environment in the cave, but it is useless to adapt to it for a long time.

In desperation, I could only take out a cold light stick from my backpack, and rely on the weak blue light on the cold light stick to illuminate a short section of the road in front of the soles of my feet, at least so that I can feel a little confident in my heart, so as not to be completely blind, and I feel like I am going to hit the south wall with every step.
