180. Self-reliance
The only remedy I could do was to use the claws that Shadow Moon had slashed horizontally into my shoulder blades, and I had to thank Shadow Moon for her magic and sharpness, and before the blow came, the claws were not severed, but they were clearly felt to tremble, and then the claws were released, and I fell straight down to the man's face.
The moment my body touched my face, I was terrified, it was soft! I smashed the face into it, and at this moment, I stared at the face under me, and it seemed that every inch was floating, and it seemed to be all gathered somewhere, and soon I was shocked to find that this was not a human face carved out of stone, it was transparent! It is a dense network of tiny insects attached to the reverse side, forming a pattern of a human face, and the place where I stand is not a stone, but a film of special material.
It could never be natural, someone made a mold of a human face out of this special material, and then covered it on the stone platform, no, it should be said that it was a stone pool, and I am sure that the bottom must be empty. Because I can feel the gravity that makes the membrane on my foot sink a little bit, and it may sink into the bottom at any time.
Not to mention the danger underneath, just that many small insects that can form a giant human face about two square meters in size are enough to make me frightened and frightened, and if I fall, I will be immediately swallowed by those insects.
Cautiously, he reached for the edge of the stone pool, and breathed a sigh of relief when he finally caught it and held on tightly. Looking up and glancing to the side, he was so frightened that he almost let go of his hand, Sheng Shiyao actually lay on the back of the bird monster again, and it should even be said that he was riding on it, his legs clamped its body, and the head of the bird monster could be turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and he was breaking open its iron beak with his bare hands. The cry like a woman's cry turned into a sharp and piercing sound, piercing people's eardrums and causing them to be in a trance.
This is most likely a trick of the bird monster, to control people with voice. Suddenly, Sheng Shiyao felt a little strange, his hands were relaxed, not good, his eyes were red, and his demonic nature was about to rise. I don't know if it was automatically activated by him, or if it was provoked by the bird's voice control, if it was the latter, the consequences would be unimaginable, but don't be controlled by this birdmonster.
What to do? I was suddenly mad, he was far away from the bird monster, and I could sink into this stone pool at any time, how could I break this game? Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, but to no avail, I only felt that my feet were sinking, as if this human face film could not bear my weight, I looked down and found that the dense insects were gathered in the black hole at the eyes of the human face, as if there was a passage there, squeezing each other in, and there were too many, so I surrounded layer after layer.
Remembering the intuition before the accident, he stared at the two black holes, gritted his teeth, raised his arm and stabbed down, straight into one of the black holes. Obviously felt the blade into the object, and then straight to the end, without waiting for the consequences, after pulling it up and then stabbing into the other side, at that moment, two black gases rushed out of the sky, the membrane under my feet broke, only to hear a bang, the center of gravity suddenly lost, the person fell straight down, the right hand that was broken on the edge of the stone pool desperately picked on, and the left hand stabbed the shadow moon into the wall of the stone pool, and finally stopped my fall. But the whole person hung there, relying on his arms to bear the weight.
The flashlight fell on the mask when it was just grabbed by the bird's claws, and then the membrane ruptured and rolled down with it, reflecting the stone pool in full view. First of all, I saw the principle of the formation of the black hole, which was actually two fist-sized pipes erected there, and the material of the pipe could not be seen, it should be metal, and it was black.
Then I was really right before, those fine worms crawled into this tube, looked down along the tube, and just crossed the idea that the tube was quite long in my mind, I was frightened by the scene at the bottom of the stone pool, and as soon as my right hand on the stone pool was loosened, the person sank half a foot, and held the handle of the Shadow Moon knife with both hands dangerously, so that he did not fall.
Oh my God, at the bottom of the stone pool, there is a pool full of corpse bones, excluding animals, there are many human bones, this is a corpse pit! Because the membrane was shattered, many of the worms did not have time to burrow into the tube, and fell into the bottom layer, and then all of them burrowed into the skull of the skeleton, which was a terrifying scene that was indescribable.
So, can I understand that this stone pond is the place where the birdie outside used to pile up the bones of its prey? After it devoured its prey, it threw the bones into it, but what about the membrane in the shape of a human face? It covers the stone pool, how will the bird monster throw the corpse? Or does the membrane fall off and grow back at a fixed time?
As soon as my mind turned, I was horrified to find that a layer of air seemed to be slowly forming up on the top of my head, condensing from the periphery of the stone pool to the middle, and I didn't care about studying what the principle was, but I knew that if I let this air film condense to the full, then I would be locked underneath, and I would be suffocated by the isolation of the air. It's easy to slide down, but it's hard to stealthily go up, especially when my shoulders were pierced by the claws of the bird monster just now, and it hurts a minute to move, but now I can't support the handle of the knife in both hands.
To make matters worse, Shadow Moon was so sharp that my gravity pulled it down, and the walls of the stone pool couldn't withstand the force, sinking inch by inch, so that even if I stretched out my arms, I couldn't reach the top of the pool. In desperation, I took off my right hand and grabbed a pipe that was erected in the middle, the tentacles were greasy and slippery, but the bottom layer was hard, it should be a metal pipe, but the surface layer became slippery without knowing what happened.
Try not to make up the nausea in your brain, you have to rely on this tube to save yourself, scrape off the slippery substance on the surface with your fingernails, and after feeling that your hand is no longer slippery, you hold it tightly, use your right hand and tube to support your body's gravity, and your left hand tries to pull out the shadow moon. Keep an eye on the membrane on the top of your head, most of it has already condensed, and only the top of the two tubes is still empty.
I was very anxious in my heart, I endured the pain in my shoulder blade, and pulled Shadow Moon out of the stone crack with all my strength, and then the knife turned around, and with a bang, the other half of the metal pipe was cut flat, and the position was about ten centimeters up to my right hand, and then I used two fingers to pick the mouth of the pipe, and the remaining three fingers grabbed the handle of the Shadow Moon knife, and at the same time the two feet kicked on the stone pool wall, and finally stabilized my body. But the nozzle of the tube was sharp, and it was obvious that the fingers were cut, and blood gushed out, and soon blood beads slid down the tube, and blood must have flowed into the tube.
I was going to gather some strength and rush out of the membrane with the help of this tube in one go, but I already found that the membrane was condensing to the nozzle, and the speed was much slower, enough space for one person to stay there. As I took a breath, I suddenly felt that the tube I had picked with my two fingers vibrate, and then I was horrified to see that the top of the tube I was holding in my right hand was not one or two, but a swarm, and it was still popping up. However, the upper layer of the film has not been condensed.
In the next second, I was horrified to find that the worms began to go down the tube, less than a meter from the place where I grasped it to the top, no matter how small the worms were, and the crawling speed was also extremely fast, and soon it was only a foot away from my hand, and the upper half of the tube was already covered with a dense layer of worms, and I didn't dare to think about how many of these mollusks were in the slender tube, only the number of human faces that could accumulate on the membrane layer before, I could cover my whole person. If I get crawled all over my body by this kind of bug, it will definitely be a nightmare for my life!
Now I'm like a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to get a glimpse of what's going on outside, and I'm still gritting my teeth against this cramped situation. I knew that if Sheng Shiyao could get separated, he would have come to save me a long time ago, but if he didn't come, he must not be able to come. Passing through the reddening of his eyes, his heart sank, and then he raised his eyes, but at the moment of electric lightning, the worm crawled down again, only a palm away from my hand.
I plan to fight the danger of sliding, and use my left hand to concoct and cut off the part full of worms according to the law, which has two dangers, one is that my hand may slip and fall into the corpse pit below, and the other is that the pipe will be cut to no avail, and there will be worms coming out of the fracture. But in any case, I can only fight, just as I was about to hold the knife in my left hand, I suddenly remembered why there were no worms in the left tube? And the previous tremor seemed to have stopped, my eyes swept back and forth, my mind fluttered, ah! Is it blood?!
The situation was imminent, and I couldn't analyze it carefully, change my mind, lowered my head and bit the back of my right hand fiercely, it was a hard bite, the tooth marks were extremely deep, and a circle of blood beads immediately popped out.
I flipped the back of my hand so that the blood was wiped on the tube, and as it turned out, I was right, and when the blood seeped out, the worm's crawling speed slowed down, and when I rubbed the blood onto the tube, the worm began to retreat. If I was really afraid of blood, the tube in my right hand suddenly trembled before, and it was most likely because my fingers were cut by the mouth of the tube, and the blood flowed into the fine worm commotion, or even ...... It is even possible that the two tubes are connected at the bottom, and the blood gas drives them from the right tube to the left tube and escapes from the mouth of the tube.
So, this group of worms is actually fleeing, not intentionally attacking? Why are they so afraid of human blood? I looked down at the countless corpses below, and realized that they might not be afraid of human blood, but of mine!
Strange things happened one after another, and I wasn't surprised to see the membrane on top of my head gradually dissipating. It is also vaguely understood that this membrane may be related to the fine worms in the tube and the corpses at the bottom, which is formed by the condensation of an invisible gas.
I heard a bang outside the stone pool, it was the sound of gunshots! Then I heard Zhou Tong yelling: "Ge Laozi, the gun can be used, Lao Tzu wants to blast you strange birds to the ground." Then there were several thuds, and the birds were crying, but the mournful cry of the birds, which resembled the cry of a woman, was no longer heard.
I don't know if I am particularly sensitive to my family's voice, or if it is already prominent, in the midst of a riot, I can always hear Zhou Tong's rough roar: "Brother Yao, let's deal with it here, you go to save the little sister, she was eaten by the stone." ”
