Chapter 372: The Sound Continues

As soon as the telekinesis mixed with Fu Yun submerged into the wellhead, a slight sharp sound was heard from the depths of the wellhead.

The source of the sound seemed to be hidden beneath the surface of the water, making it sound so unreal that I could only make out that it was a humming cicada, but I couldn't make out any other details.

The sound disappeared for only a few seconds, and after it was gone, the sharp stones embedded in the edge of the well began to fall off in large swaths, and the reefs around the wellhead began to shrink rapidly, as if a gray tooth had broken away from the receding gums.

Strange to say, as soon as the sharp stone left the reef, the evil aura that had previously covered it quickly disappeared.

Don't ask me why this is happening, I don't see the doorway.

At this point, I can't be 100% sure whether this well is alive or not.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the cave.

My heart tightened, and I immediately turned back to look, and saw a man in a long black robe standing in front of the entrance to the cave, and because of the low entrance of the cave, I could not see the man's face, but only the part below his chest.

Judging by his stature, he is a man, and judging by his demeanor, his status should be very high.

At this time, he stood at the entrance of the cave, and lectured to the two guards with his hands behind his back.

He told the guards that the townsfolk would come here in a moment to get food and keep the guards in order.

At the same time, I also learned from him that the citizens had obtained enough meat and vegetables from another well for a week, and he told the two guards that the guard in charge of the other well had done a very good job, and hoped that the two of them would not let themselves down.

In the face of this man's reprimand, the two guards could only nod their heads submissively, and that action struck the two wagging tails and begging dogs.

This made me very interested in the man in black, who he was, why the guards were so afraid of him, and what role he played in the social system that the king in yellow had single-handedly built.

With such curiosity, I stared at the entrance of the cave, just to see what the man in black looked like.

Unfortunately, he didn't show his true face in front of me in the end, and after reprimanding the two guards, his figure quickly flashed in front of the cave and headed due east.

Through the view of the hole, I could only see his back as he drifted away.

At that moment, I suddenly had a feeling that I had seen this back somewhere.

I've only seen it recently.

It won't be long before the townsfolk will come here to get food, and I know that this place is not suitable for long, so I quickly withdrew while the guards were away from the entrance of the cave.

To be honest, I didn't know what day of the month it was, let alone what day of the week it was, so I didn't expect that today would be a rest day for the underground residents.

However, according to the man in black, the citizens have already obtained enough meat and vegetables from another well, which means that no one should visit that well again anytime soon.

Alas, thanks to the man in black who came early, I would have gone into the well to check the situation.

When the citizens come to salvage the grain, they will probably be able to salvage my piece.

Before the citizens could come, I quickly slipped into a narrow alley and felt my way to the northwest corner of the city.

Along the way, I only chose those very narrow alleys to make sure that nothing went wrong.

I have calculated that if I want to have a week's worth of food for the whole city at one time, I must invest a lot of manpower, that is to say, at this time, there is a large group of citizens heading towards the southeast direction of Ikujing, but I can't tell what kind of route these people will choose, but one thing is certain, that is, these narrow alleys, which are only enough for one or two people to walk side by side, will definitely hinder the speed of the large army, so when they choose a route, there is a high probability that they will avoid such narrow alleys.

From the southeast to the northwest corner of the city, I walked diagonally through the city without encountering a single living person.

Strangely, there were no guards next to the stone cave in the southeast corner of the city.

It is estimated that the citizens have just taken the food, and there is not much new food in the raw well, so there is no need to worry about someone stealing it, and it will not take much anyway, so there is no need for guards to guard it.

After all, it's a day off, and the guards also have to rest.

Seeing that there was no one around, I didn't deliberately lower my footsteps, and got into the hole with a big grin.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the cat entered the hole, he heard a rush of footsteps in front of him.

I was startled and immediately looked ahead.

The corridor here is deeper and wider, and at a glance, you can only see a section of the road wall illuminated by light and mist, and the darkness in front of you that cannot be penetrated by light.

The sound of footsteps came from the darkness.

I didn't dare to move, I just stood there and watched the darkness quietly.

Da, da......

Sounds in the darkness echoed through the corridors, and for a long time, their frequency and volume did not change in the slightest.

It was as if there was a clockwork piece of wood, standing in the darkness and walking in place.

After settling down and carefully identifying it, I felt more and more that it was not the sound of bare feet stepping on the ground, if it was the soles of my feet hitting the ground, the sound would be more muffled and heavier, but the sound that echoed in my ears at this time was more like a meatloaf without skin hitting the stone surface at once.

Thinking of this, I tried to move and took two steps towards the darkness.

The voice remained unchanged.

It didn't seem like my actions were irritating it.

Then I quickened my pace a little and leaned down into the darkness.

When you stand in the light and look at the darkness, the darkness is like a black curtain, you can't see through it, but when you step into the darkness, you can see the outlines of those wrapped in the darkness.

At this moment, I saw that on a section of the road wall shrouded in black shadows, a strange fleshy willow was obliquely grown, and it was it, slapping against the stone wall in the process of continuous trembling, making a sound like footsteps.

The light was too dim for me to see what color the fillet was, but I could tell that it was about the thickness and length of an adult's forearm, and the surface of the fillet was covered with squid-like suckers.

This thing looks like a skinned octopus tentacle, exuding a strong corpse aura.

When I walked past it, it didn't feel my presence, and still beat the wall at its own frequency, and kept slapping all the time.

Da, da......

Strange sounds kept echoing in my ears.

As I went deeper and deeper, I found that this sound also had a magic similar to the whispers of the deep sea, I don't know when it began, my state of mind has been affected, and the scene in front of me has also changed, the stone walls on both sides have become bloody walls of flesh, the darkness is pierced by a bloody light, and the red light instantly illuminates the entire corridor.

Even I was red by this blood light, like a bloody man.

As soon as I saw that the situation was not right, I pressed a mental power into the spiritual platform and straightened the meridians again, and the illusion disappeared in an instant, and the corridor was once again shrouded in darkness.
