Chapter 190: Head Drop Imp
Soon. I noticed that the giant octopus had giant rats hanging from its body in many places. It's like a Christmas tree with all kinds of presents. It's funny.
But. In such a situation. None of us could laugh.
It is assumed that the original idea of the mechanism was to use the pressure of the water to suck giant octopuses from the underground river. Let the rampaging giant octopus smash the intruder into a pulp.
But. It's been a long time. With the reproduction of giant octopuses. Its natural predators are also getting stronger and stronger. There is a constant struggle between the two populations.
The octopus is busy fighting the giant rat. Although noticed our side. But they didn't bother with us at all.
Shen Dali pointed at the giant rats in surprise and said, "Fifth brother." Take a look. It's them. ”
I hurriedly said, "Look at the fart." Hurry up. Beware of the broken octopus and press the trap indiscriminately......"
Unexpectedly. Before I could finish my words, it would have worked.
Giant octopuses are too large. Although it is framed by many sarcophagi. But its giant claws flailed around in order to shake off the giant rat. Right under our gaze. Hit the stone bricks on the ground one after another.
Time. A number of organs have been activated.
Just listen to the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air. Dense crossbow arrows shot horizontally.
I hurriedly pulled Leng Yue and Shen Dali and squatted down. Use the sarcophagus to block. It can dodge rows of crossbow arrows.
Just as we were about to look up. Another pillar of fire rose into the sky not far away. Then it turned into a wall of fire. Pushed sideways towards us.
After the wall of fire. The sarcophagus suddenly slammed around like a bumper car. Almost hit us several times. If it weren't for the timely hiding. I'm afraid I've been knocked to the bone and broken.
After the sarcophagus collided. I haven't had time to get back to where I was. There was a large cloud of pink gas coming from all directions towards us.
We were busy with our masks. But he didn't wait to come into contact with the poison gas. Suddenly, I felt the ground shake. Then we saw a lot of stone balls rolling over the ground.
Watching so many mechanisms come one after another. I was reluctant.
In such a situation. Don't talk about moving forward. As long as you can save your life, it is not easy.
Just dodged the stone ball. Steaming jets of hot water crashed down from above. So much so that we can't take care of the bricks under our feet. Exhausted.
It's a vicious circle. The more so evasive. The more traps we step on. After that, the situation became more and more difficult.
In a panic. I glanced at the giant octopus. It was found that it was long dead. His body was full of crossbow arrows. There are also many places that are charred and blackened.
It's not just the giant octopus. Even the giant rats that hung on it. Not immune. Pierced alive as a hedgehog.
We have survived round after round of life and death trials with great difficulty. Over and over again, pushing the limits of what can be achieved. If it weren't for Leng Yue, who helped me and Shen Dali at several critical moments. I guess with the strength of our normal people. It has long been turned into a corpse.
I don't know how long it took. All the mechanisms finally stopped. In this floor of the house. It's a mess.
Just when I thought I had managed to dodge all the traps. But I heard a "hiss" sound. The sound was like hundreds of snakes spitting letters.
There can simply be no snakes this season. Do you have to face illusions again?
Unexpectedly. What came next was not a snake. Rather, it is a giant cocoon that slowly falls from above. The number is more than a hundred.
Each cocoon is large enough to fit an adult. Hanging slightly on the sarcophagus. And there is a subtle sound coming from it. It's as if something is going to break out of a cocoon.
Really. Under our watchful eye. The cocoons cracked open one after another.
"Let's chirp". A clump of ** stuff slipped out of the cocoon. Fall on the sarcophagus. Slipped and rolled to the ground again.
It looked like a big, bloody mass of flesh. But it's not. It has a bluish-white tube on it. Directly connected to the cocoon.
I frowned and observed. The heart is in the throat. I couldn't tell what it was for a moment.
Shen Dali panted and scolded, "Fuck." What the hell are you doing? If you have the ability, you will play me to death. ”
Leng Yue said lightly: "Placenta." ”
No way. It's really placenta.
I've only seen this stuff in disgusting horror movies like the American one. Never been exposed to it in real life.
If it is the placenta that falls from the cocoon. There's nothing out of there. Could it be a baby?
I just thought of this. Suddenly, I heard a baby crying.
"Wow...... Wow......"
The cry was very harsh. Affected by spatial echoes. And very loud.
In the midst of the baby's cry. I felt numb all over. The mood is irritable to the extreme. There is a feeling of scratching the heart and lungs. It's very painful.
He raised his hand to cover his ears. I guess he doesn't feel much better than I do.
Shen Dali was able to hold on. It is expected to be related to the various harsh environments he experienced in the army.
The cry lasted for more than ten seconds. Suddenly stopped. It's as if someone pressed the mute button.
But. The tranquility lasted for a few seconds. The baby's laughter rang out again and again.
Laughter is much better than crying. But in such an environment. But it really makes my heart hairy. Goosebumps all over my body.
And so it took another dozen seconds. The cocoon continues to crack down. Then I saw a strange creature fall.
Those things looked like babies. But when you land, you can support your body on all fours.
They are covered with black fur on their backs and on the top of their heads. The rest of the exposed skin is bright red. Eyes the size of brass bells staring. There was no whites of the eyes.
"Holy. What is this. Shen Dali exclaimed. Snatched my lines.
I was breathing heavily. The palms of the hands were covered with sweat. Feeling stiff all over.
I heard that there is a kind of evil art called head-lowering in the Lingnan area. Specializes in refining imps with newborn babies.
The imps made are very ferocious. You can protect your home. It can help the owner to collect money. You can kill your master's enemies without even noticing.
Later. This evil art spread to Southeast Asia, Thailand and other places. And it is very rare in China.
It is said that it is because most of the head descenders do too much evil. Heaven is intolerable. One by one, they all died unexpectedly and left no heirs. Therefore, the inheritance has long been broken.
As for the head-lowering technique that has been transmitted abroad. In fact, it's just a little bit of the surface of the orthodox head lowering technique. But it's enough to make waves.
Unexpectedly. In the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty in northeast Inner Mongolia. We were able to see with our own eyes the imps in the head-lowering technique.
I don't know if it's our luck. Or our great misfortune.
"Be careful. It's a little ghost. I gritted my teeth and reminded Shen Dali and Leng Yue.
Leng Yue crossed the iron chopsticks. Said lightly: "I know." ”
Those imps use both hands and feet. Tooth roared and leaned over to us.
Lean on our closest. I can already see the upper and lower rows of fangs. and hideous faces.
