Chapter 267: Black Cicada Chrysalis
Because of the green liquid flowing out of the red coffin, Tang Anshu hurriedly grabbed the rope and moved his body to keep himself away from the red coffin.
At the same time, the green liquid flowed out, and it flowed along the gap in the coffin towards the stone platform below, and after flowing on the stone platform, there was a burst of smoke, and then the stone platform made a cracking sound.
After a while, the stone platform broke directly, and the red coffin also fell directly into the hole below with the break of the stone platform, revealing the rectangular hole behind it.
Yexin, Benzoin and others above shined their flashlights below.
Yexin asked, "What's going on?" ”
Tang Anshu explained: "I pried open the lid of the coffin, and there was liquid flowing out of it, and that liquid corroded the stone platform below, causing the red coffin to fall. ”
Benzoin lay on the edge and looked down: "It's very deep down there, and there is no movement when such a heavy coffin falls, you be careful." ”
Tang Anshu said: "I know, I'll go into the hole next to me and take a look, maybe that's the entrance." ”
Ye Xin hurriedly said, "Be careful." ”
After Tang Anshu answered, he moved to the edge of the cave, flashed the flashlight, and found that the cave was a room, and there were various boxes in the room.
Tang Anshu untied the rope around his waist, walked into the cave, and looked at the square room in it.
The walls of the room are smooth, there is nothing, there is no text or mural that can record the era in which the place was built.
Tang Anshu squatted down and looked at the box in front of him, he regretted it a little now, he didn't invite someone like a chaser to come before he came, so that he could also distinguish the age from the appearance of the box, and maybe he could get some clues.
There was no lock on the outside of the box, but there seemed to be a low hum coming from inside the box.
Tang Anshu approached the box and listened, then took out the dagger, picked open the lid of the box, and then dodged it instantly, worried that the hidden weapon would fly out of it.
But when the lid of the box was opened, he found that the box contained a lump of meat.
That's right, it's really meat, and it seems to be a combination of meat and some organs, and there seems to be a heart in the middle, and the buzzing sound at the bottom is coming from the heart.
"What is this?" Tang Anshu felt strange, and opened several other boxes one after another, and found that the things inside were all the same, basically meat and organs, but definitely not human organs, because people would not have such a big and huge heart.
Tang Anshu checked the surface of the box again, and after finding nothing, he had to return to the top of the cave.
When they were told what he had discovered, they were shocked, but no one could figure out what was going on.
The red coffin, the night liquid flowing out of the coffin, the box full of meat pieces and organs in the hole behind the coffin? What does all this really mean?
Tang Anshu said: "There are two more coffins, I'll go down and take a look." ”
After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he turned around and tied the second rope and slid down directly, and when Tang Anshu came to the coffin, he found that the coffin was not green, but because the surface was covered with thick moss.
Tang Anshu remembered the way the red coffin fell, so he concocted the lid of the green coffin, and then, like the red coffin, a strange liquid flowed out of the gap, but the liquid flowing out of the green coffin was blue.
Next, the blue liquid corroded the stone platform below, and the green coffin also fell directly into the abyss below, the difference was that after falling this time, Tang Anshu seemed to hear the sound of the green coffin smashing on something.
The sound was muffled, and it sounded like the green coffin wasn't hitting a hard object.
Tang Anshu stood there and waited for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he moved to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, and found that it was still a small room, and there were several boxes stacked in the room.
After opening the box, Tang Anshu found that the box contained all Bai Sensen's bones.
Pieces of meat, organs, and bones, what does this mean?
Tang Anshu immediately left the room, climbed back, and followed the third rope to the last blue coffin, and let the blue coffin fall down according to the previous method, and entered the room behind the blue coffin.
The third room was still not an entrance, but it was no longer a box, but a sealed jar.
Tang Anshu thought about it, but still cut the seal with a knife, took a flashlight and shone it inside, and found that it was all water, but this water emitted an iron smell, like blood.
Just when Tang Anshu was still wondering what was going on, the bottom of the cave began to shake violently.
The shaking became more and more violent, and Benzoin and Yexin immediately lay at the entrance of the cave and shouted Tang Anshu.
Tang Anshu also immediately grabbed the rope and climbed back as fast as he could, and while climbing back, he clearly saw a cloud of white smoke slowly rising below.
When Tang Anshu climbed out of the hole, he and the others quickly evacuated, hiding behind a sunken ship, staring at the location of the hole, and then saw a cloud of white smoke rising from the hole, and a black object loomed in the smoke.
"What's that?" Tang Anshu frowned and watched.
Xionghuang clenched the gun in his hand: "Who knows, it seems that he has been hit by the mechanism." ”
There is no doubt that it is indeed a mechanism, and the premise of opening the mechanism is to place the three coffins into the hole below.
But what is the stuff wrapped in that cloud of smoke when the trap is opened?
Before the smoke had completely cleared, countless centipedes the size of puppies crawled out of the edge of the hole, and after these centipedes crawled out, they circled around the hole, as if protecting the black thing in the smoke.
Tang Anshu made a gesture: "Something is wrong, retreat, hurry up!" ”
While the others retreated, Tang Anshu was still standing in place, and found that the centipede had carried up the boxes and jars he had found in the cave before, carried them to the ground, opened the lid of the boxes, and bit the meat pieces in them, sending them into the smoke.
Tang Anshu became more and more curious, while the others retreated, he walked forward slowly, he wanted to see what the black thing in the smoke was.
Finally, as Tang Anshu was about to approach the entrance of the cave, all the smoke cleared, and he finally saw clearly that it was a huge oval-shaped object, and the circle of the object looked like a cicada chrysalis.
The huge centipedes pounced on the chrysalis, frantically biting at the crust of the chrysalis, biting out a gap large enough for their own body size, and then biting their organs and bones into it.
Soon, almost all the centipedes had burrowed in, and the boxes that had been carried around were completely empty, leaving only the few black jars that had not been touched next to them.
"Anshu! What are you doing! Come back! Yexin shouted from behind the wreckage.
Tang Anshu glanced back, but immediately set his eyes on the huge black cicada chrysalis.
Suddenly, the cicada chrysalis began to vibrate, and something seemed to come out of it, and with each vibration, a crack appeared on the surface of the cicada chrysalis.
With the vibration, Tang Anshu began to retreat step by step, the vibration became faster and faster, and Tang Anshu also ran faster and faster, and finally Tang Anshu ran to Yexin's side, and the moment he turned around, the cicada chrysalis finally burst open.
The moment the cicada chrysalis exploded, the remains of countless centipedes splashed around, and at the same time, a giant with a height of at least two meters appeared in the center of the cicada chrysalis.
It is said to be a giant, but it has no head, as if it is a punishment in a mythological story, and his shoulders are very broad, as if he is wearing armor.
When they saw this scene, Tang Anshu and the others couldn't help but start retreating.
Benzoin stared at the headless monster: "So, is that the so-called demon?" ”
Tang Anshu didn't know how to explain, but said, "Let's go." ”
Xionghuang cursed while directing the others to evacuate as quickly as possible in the direction of the woods, first of all, to get out of this fog, maybe it would be safe.
The headless monster walked with heavy steps to the jars next to the cave entrance, raised his hand to pick up the jars one by one, and poured the liquid directly into his neck.
After the liquid poured into its neck, the headless monster's body seemed to be much more flexible, and it turned its body, as if to observe its surroundings, but with what observation? There is no head, and there are no eyes.
Seeing the headless monster looking around, Tang Anshu stretched out his hand and motioned for the others not to run anymore and hide in the ruins next to him first.
Xionghuang said dissatisfiedly: "Stop, stop!" If we don't leave, we'll all die here. ”
Tang Anshu probed out and looked at the headless monster: "That thing seems to be looking for something, let's wait first, don't be discovered by it." ”
Yumi said: "What are you waiting for!" Come on! ”
Saying that, Yu Mi and Xionghuang rushed towards the direction of the woods, Tang Anshu couldn't stop them, and the moment the two ran out of the wreckage, they were discovered by the headless monster, and the strange man immediately chased after the two with heavy steps.
The headless monster was not fast, but each step on the ground was heavy, and the vibration was like a brief small earthquake.
The vibration caused by the headless monster also caused strange things to happen, just like the previous vibration of the lucky ship, and the strange black figures from the previous ones immediately appeared on the decks of the surrounding ships.
Seeing this scene, Raimaru and Mint couldn't care so much about it, and they also ran straight in the direction of the woods.
Yexin and Benzoin wanted to leave, but were stopped by Tang Anshu.
Benzoin hurriedly said: "What are you waiting for!" Come on! ”
Tang Anshu pointed to the deck of the sunken ship in front of him: "You pay attention there." ”
Ye Xin stared at the position Tang Anshu was pointing to: "What? There is nothing there. ”
As he spoke, the headless monster's heavy steps brought another shock, and immediately after the shock, three zombie-like monsters appeared on the deck.
Nightshade and Benzoin were terrified, and the three zombies jumped straight off the deck and lunged at them.
Tang Anshu held two guns and shot at the three zombies that pounced continuously, but they disappeared into the air in an instant when they were hit by bullets.
"Follow me!" Tang Anshu led Yexin and Benzoin to hide behind the wreckage of another shipwreck.
The headless monster seemed to hear the gunshots, suddenly stopped, and turned his body in the direction where Tang Anshu and the three of them were.
Yexin trembled with fright and asked in a low voice, "What should I do?" ”
Tang Anshu glanced at it slightly: "Don't move yet, listen to my signal." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the headless monster took another step, and the moment his big feet fell to the ground and vibrate, the three zombies that had disappeared in mid-air suddenly appeared in front of Tang Anshu and the others.
