247. The origin of the human monster
I also thought about this question, the strange hand was afraid of Shadow Moon, but he just didn't dare to come forward to catch or attack people, but he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating. If we keep being followed by them, if the passage ends up dead, won't we be trapped in a dead end?
Sheng Shiyao immediately decided: "Go back and find any room with a roof." I thought so too, and I don't know why the strange hand came out of the wall, so I had to dodge the upper floor, and then I would find a way to deal with it after the flock of birds before. But when we turned around, we heard the six sons exclaiming: "Look! ”
I didn't know what was going on behind me, but when I heard Liu Yue's frightened gasp, I hurriedly asked, "What happened?" I heard that Zhou Tong said in a panic: "Little sister, that strange hand came out of the wall." ”
Yes? How is it possible for the hand to come out? No, there was a problem with his expression, and sure enough, he heard Sheng Shiyao say: "The people in the wall are all people, all of them are coming out through the wall, and the wall is melting." Come on! "There is no way back but to move on. Later, you could hear the sound of approaching footsteps behind him, and the momentum was getting louder and louder, Sheng Shiyao asked everyone not to look back. But even if you don't look back, you can feel the sense of oppression coming from the layers, which is getting stronger and stronger.
"It's over!" I heard the desperate cries of the six sons, and my heart sank to the bottom, and I already had a vague feeling that these monsters would no longer buy into Shadow Moon, and even I suspected that they were deliberately driving us into the end of the passage, just waiting for the final fight. Still on the move, Sheng Shiyao shouted: "Zhou Tong, blow up that wall with a torpedo, and I'll cover you." The three of you huddle together. ”
After saying that, he and Zhou Tong separated from us and moved forward, I turned around and covered Liu Yue and Liuzi behind, but I heard Liuzi say: "It seems that the shadow moon is useless, they are still forcing over." "In this way, we can only retreat to the end of the passage little by little.
When the order to "lie down" came from that side, I was dragged to the ground by the two of them, and then there was a "boom", and a wave of air swept over us, and the sound of falling down one after another should have brought over many people who had become monsters. Needless to say, just by imagining that these people could not be normal and alive, they must have been influenced by some of the influences here. If there is a mind that is better, and no mind is even more terrible, they will only follow a mechanical pattern altogether.
"It's cracked! Sixth son, Ah Yue, little sister, you rush over quickly, let's work together to knock this place away. Zhou Tong was shouting urgently, we didn't hesitate to get up from the ground and run towards that place, I have the shadow moon in my hand so I pad it back, but whenever there is a strange hand reaching out to pull them, I will cut it directly, and I will not be soft, and then I will cut it until my eyes are red. With the joint efforts of everyone, the blasted hole was finally pushed down, and we immediately rushed out of the passage. I felt that there seemed to be a flash of white light in front of me, and the originally dark and silent world turned out to be blurry light and shadow again.
And the space I entered was obviously much larger than just now, and it was no longer narrow. What was even more surprising was that the group of monsters that were chasing after us did not follow, as if they were bounded by the entrance of the passage, and they were all surrounded there, but none of them stepped in.
Everyone is puzzled, why is this? Could it be that in the space we are in now, there is something more powerful than it that makes them afraid to cross the thunder pool by half a step? Suddenly, seeing Sheng Shiyao's figure rushing out, he actually swept back to the entrance of the passage quickly, we all exclaimed, but seeing him flash at the entrance of the cave and come back quickly, Zhou Tong shouted in shock: "Ah! It's all melted away! ”
What melted down? I desperately wanted to open my eyes to see, but something happened to Sheng Shiyao, but seeing that his figure had returned to him, he muttered in a low voice: "So that's the case." Later, I realized that Sheng Shiyao had just run over and dragged a monster into this space, and the moment it entered, it gradually turned into a puddle of black viscous liquid from the beginning. It is the space medium that is fatal to them.
According to their description, these monsters that came out of the wall were covered with black pulp, and they could only see human shapes, and their faces were unrecognizable, including the outstretched hands, which were also jet black. I don't understand why these people are inside the wall, even if there are unfortunate victims who escape into the space of this underwater city, there will not be so many, just a few hundred meters all the way just now, at least thousands of people are piled up in the wall.
There is an outrageous thought in my heart, that is, this group of people are from the ancient Dian Kingdom two thousand years ago, and they were glued into the wall when the king built the passage for some reason, but I don't understand why they are not corrupted, and then they become such monsters without thinking.
Also, since this kind of strange hand appeared in this passage, then Zhuang Yu should also encounter this type of monster, where will his passage be? The intuition should be close.
When I came back to my senses, I heard them asking Sheng Shiyao what was going on, and he replied in a low voice, but I guessed that there was a big way out. He said that these people were not piled up in the wall by the ancient kings of the Dian Kingdom, but the Dian people themselves in this city, and they were divided into two groups for some reason, one group sank somewhere at the bottom of the lake, which is one of the mysteries mentioned before: the human body library under Fuxian Lake, the underwater corpses are all inclinted, the male corpses lean forward, the female corpses lean back, and move naturally with the current, like living people. We haven't seen this yet, but we can be sure that it's not apocryphal, it's real.
There is also a group of people who are in the mud under the surface of this palace, because they are contaminated with that black magma-like substance, they do not decay, and they usually sleep like a deep sleep, but just now, they have been awakened one after another, and then accumulated. It was discernible from the first sounds he heard of movement, which he heard coming from near and far.
Zhou Tong asked in disbelief, "Brother Yao, are you saying that they can walk in the dirt layer?" And then through the wall? What kind of monster has this become, so powerful. Sheng Shiyao denied: "It's not that they have any powers, it's that layer of black pulp is working, and it can corrupt the mud and stone on the surface, so no matter how strong the walls of the passage are, they become so easy to melt." And the medium of this space is just enough to restrain that kind of black pulp, and it can only be said that all things are mutually reinforcing. ”
Originally, Zhou Tong wanted to ask, but Liu Yue interrupted: "Okay, don't study that monster anymore, let's investigate this place." You see that there are four fire clusters lit above, is it the lamp that has not been extinguished for 10,000 years? The light of the fire was so strange that it could illuminate the place brightly. "I instinctively looked up, and I could vaguely see the light and shadow when I entered here just now, so I quickly found the light highlight that Liu Yue said. Now I don't feel amazed anymore, sometimes I can't see, sometimes I can see, it's related to the medium in the air.
It's like two jars of water, one is clear and the other is turbid, and in the turbid land, my vision naturally can't see anything, but when I reach the clear ground, I can temporarily wash away the turbidity in my eyes, allowing me to see blurry images.
In the turn of my thoughts, Zhou Tong had already found a way to climb to it, and after a while, he said: "This is not like a 10,000-year-old lamp, it seems to be ordinary lamp oil, and you can clearly see that the lamp oil line drops after burning." "If it was the merman ointment, it shouldn't have been used so quickly, otherwise how would it take 10,000 years. But if it's not a perpetual lantern, it's weird, it means that these four fires were lit not long ago, which means that someone was here before we came, or maybe not a person.
I'd rather believe that Zhuang Yu and Jian Ning got here by the end of the day, rather than guess that another creature that might be even more dangerous and terrifying is nearby. Just now they have learned from their mouths that this is a karst cave about 100 square meters in size, and there is no side door around it except for the passage that we blew open. After being anxious and fruitless, the monsters returned to the wall, but as you can imagine, the hole in the wall that they had broken through was impossible to restore.
Liuzi suggested that we should go out of the passage, but Zhou Tong didn't use his brain, the group of monsters obviously smelled the breath of humans before they came from the surface layer, as long as we stepped out of this space they were afraid of, I believe that they will come back in a few seconds. And then next time, I won't be able to run into this place so smoothly.
Obviously, it is not feasible to walk back into the aisle. At that time, Sheng Shiyao had to make such a decision, even if he could escape the pursuit of this group of monsters and return to the ground, he would encounter a flock of cuckoos again. This royal palace is full of dangers from the ground to the ground.
I handed the shadow moon to Sheng Shiyao, since there is no way out, let's open a way out by myself. During the two escapes, the shovels and other tools we had brought with us were long gone, except for medical supplies and weapons and some food. I'm guessing that there might be some secret doors like this place, but the area is large, and it takes a lot of time for Sheng Shiyao to search for them one by one. If any more creatures that are not afraid of this spatial medium come from that passage, it is impossible to hide.
Time is pressing, and it is best to stay away from the channel threat area as soon as possible. So Sheng Shiyao took the shadow moon and walked to the side, chiseled the wall, and chiseled out a hole in a few clicks, but suddenly he stopped and shouted to the side: "Find something quickly, block this!" The exterior walls are sandy! "I was surprised, the hourglass mechanism was the most common one in ancient times, but I didn't think that it would take a layer of sand to lay a layer of sand on the outside of this space of 100 square meters.
In the blur, I only saw a figure running around, but soon the sixth son called out: "It's not good, this stone is also cracked, and sand is pouring in." "The principle is very simple, originally the back of the wall is sealed, when the wall hole is not chiseled, these sand particles are full of density and will not move, but when there is a hole opened, the sand slides from the inside, the density begins to change, and then the sand particles produce a force to squeeze the stone wall we are in now.
What seems to be a very small grain of sand, when countless grains are gathered together and squeezed, the force is very huge.
And we have no way to put an end to it, we can only make up for it and plug it, but where is it useful, blocking this place, that place is leaking again, and in a moment, the sound of quicksand is coming down, I can feel that the top is also leaking.
