Chapter 213: The Stone Statue Sheds Blood and Tears
In the endless darkness. Lit. There was only the wolf-eyed flashlight in the hands of me and Shen Dali. and Cold Moon's bright green eyes.
The iron fence gates opened very slowly. It's as if there's an invisible dragon Zhong Lao Su pushing out from the inside.
The three of us immediately became nervous. Because the rice dumplings in those cells are all open doors. Raise your head slowly. Forgot about it.
However. To our surprise. Those rice dumplings just hid in the dark and glanced at us. Then he slowly lowered his head. It's as if they don't take us into account at all.
Shen Dali whispered, "Fifth brother." Don't these people look down on us? ”
I whispered, "It's better to look down." Let's walk over carefully. Don't surprise them. Otherwise, it's troublesome. ”
Then. We suppress our inner turmoil. Slowly move forward.
Because the rice dumplings in the cell have overdone our attention. Let me ignore my feet to a certain extent.
We didn't get far. Suddenly, a faint "click" sound came into my ears. I was thrilled. Realize that one of us may have stepped on the trap.
"There are organs. Rewind. ”
I shouted to remind Shen Dali and Leng Yue. But I didn't run back immediately. Instead, he frowned and listened carefully. I want to see what kind of mechanism has been touched.
After all. It doesn't make sense to set up a mechanism in this eerie place, far from the Ming Weapon.
Sure enough, it was as I expected. There is no crossbow. There are no flaps. There are no hanging stones. There is no quicksand......
But. What happened next left me very confused. For I heard a noise coming from the end of this corridor again.
Shen Dali and Leng Yue had already retreated. I saw that I had not left for a long time. Shen Dali anxiously shouted, "Fifth brother." Isn't there a mechanism? Come out of here. ”
"Shh I put my index finger up in front of my lips. Xiang Shen made a silent gesture. Then I continued to listen to the voice.
It sounded like a collision between tiles. But it doesn't stop. There should be something else. And it's getting closer.
I held up my flashlight and looked ahead. For the time being, I won't pay attention to the rice dumplings on both sides.
And then. I was amazed to see a large bag bulging out of the ground. It's moving towards me. It's as if something is moving under the floor tiles.
See this scenario. I don't dare to stay here any longer. Busy backing away. Soon retreated to Leng Yue and Shen Dali's side.
I pointed to the big bag that was getting closer and closer. frowned and asked Leng Yue: "Did you see this thing last time you came over?" ”
Leng Yue shook her head. His eyes were fixed on the big bag. Silently threw the pair of iron chopsticks long. Across in front of us.
The sound is getting clearer and clearer. The big bag is getting closer and closer.
With the approach of the big bag. We retreat slowly. Always keep a safe distance from it.
The bag moved out of the hallway of the cell. Finally stopped near the tall stone statue of the ferophyll. After a moment's pause. Suddenly, like a heartbeat, it contracted and contracted. Unspeakable weirdness and horror.
"Why don't you go the other way?" Shen Dali suggested in a low voice.
I shook my head and rejected his suggestion, saying, "I can't tell if there will be similar mechanisms on other routes." Let's see what it is. ”
Judging by the speed at which the thing moves and how often it contracts. I think it's more like some kind of creature.
As long as it's a living thing. There will always be a way around it. I'm afraid that thing is a large and destructive mechanism. But it doesn't look like it.
We waited nervously and uneasily for about two minutes. only to find that the big bag was shrinking faster and faster. And the stone bricks on it were shattered to the point that they were not in shape. It's hard to understand.
Suddenly. The big bag stopped again. Only two or three seconds later. I only heard a chaotic "boom". The bag collapsed. A large pit half a meter round is presented in front of our eyes.
We didn't dare to rush forward. After waiting for a while. before approaching cautiously. I want to see what happened.
The pit that suddenly appeared was large. But inside it's funnel-shaped. In the very center there is a round hole in black paint. Only the size of a palm.
Shen Dali said nervously: "Fifth brother." I think it's a bit like a snake hole. This snake is not hibernating and sleepwalking. ”
"The toads downstairs aren't hibernating. It's normal that snakes don't hibernate here. Now this is the time. We'd better have a little meeting. Let's talk about what to do next. After all. What happened here was completely beyond my comprehension. I can't make decisions alone. ”
Shen Dali hurriedly said, "Fifth brother." You just have to arrange it. ”
Leng Yue did not say anything. Instead, his expression became more solemn.
He looked up slowly. Diagonally looking upwards. I didn't look away for a long time.
I'm a little confused. Follow the cold moon's line of sight. We found him looking at the nearest stone statue.
If only the stone statues. I don't believe that Cold Moon would be so concerned. Quite possibly. Something extraordinary was happening on that stone statue.
Think of it this way. I held up the wolf-eyed flashlight. Gaze up. I saw the raccoon "crying". Fluid slowly trickles down from the spot of its eyes.
When I look closely. Immediately stunned.
The stone statue of the fox flowed out. It turned out to be dark red blood tears.
Soon. It's not just its eyes. its nostrils. Mouth. and even the ears. There is a dark red liquid that flows out slowly. Finally converges on everything at the place of its beard. Turning into a waterline fall. Crumbling on hard stone bricks.
Soon. A smell of extreme blood centered on the stone statue. Spread out to the surroundings.
I'm well aware. This is just a precursor. Something worse must have happened.
The dark red, fishy liquid that flowed from the statue became more and more intense. It dyed its entire face red. The waterline is divided into many strips. It's like a small waterfall.
Merely. The red liquid is much thicker than water. It's disgusting to look at.
This lasted for just over three minutes. The ground had gathered into a small puddle of dark red liquid. And sputtered all over the place.
Because I don't know if the liquid is poisonous or not. I warned Shen Dali and Leng Yue in advance to step aside. Otherwise, we will inevitably have that chilling red liquid on our bodies to a greater or lesser extent.
Suddenly. I heard a low "whine" coming from the end of the hallway. It was as if some wild beast was approaching.
I frowned. When you listen carefully. only to find that the "whine" sound is getting more and more chaotic. Closer and closer. It was as if we were close to us.
"It's coming." Leng Yue suddenly dropped such a sentence. Take a step forward. He stepped into the corridor we had just entered with iron chopsticks.
"Something's coming."
When I was wondering. Something suddenly came to mind. Busy looking away. Look at the nearest cell.
Just take a look. I couldn't look away. Eyes widened. Almost forgot to breathe.
The corpse in the cell, which had been wilting in the corner. I don't know when I actually stood up. Staggered towards the open fence gate.
...
