Chapter 118: Shock
The immovable statues were all hollow, and the sound of percussion continued to spread nearby, as if some conjecture in the crowd had been spread by everyone.
Listening to the sound, the space inside seems to be very large, and it is constantly spreading into the distance, seemingly endless.
Hearing the voice coming back from the side, you can also imagine everything in the statue, and the statue here is still real and virtual, which also copes with it from the other side, there are intelligent people in the crowd, with independent thoughts, and are not affected by others; has his own opinions, and will not believe the rumors of others.
When I found this, I immediately tapped the movable statues around me a few more times, and the sounds I heard were all solid.
Then, I struck several statues around me that were also movable, and the final result was undoubted.
"Everyone be careful, hide next to this man in blue, around those movable statues!" As I said this, I tightened my chains and greeted what was about to happen.
Beside me, in those hollow statues, it was like the sound of a clock, ticking and ticking, from slow to urgent, only for a few tens of seconds.
As Ham looked up at me and pushed the arm of the last statue to his chest, I heard a loud bang coming from above, like the sound I had previously struck on the statue, and after spreading through the crowd, it responded to me with dozens of times more power.
The sound was deafening, as if the whole space was shaking, and only the chains around me, and the solid statue, remained unmoved.
In my eyes, the gaps in the ground continued to increase, and the blood and sand were leaked down piece by piece, but soon, there were changes around us, and the gaps between the statues began to expand along the cracks that were not large.
The solid statues weren't moving, no, maybe they were, they were spreading outward, dodging the crumbling stones around them.
Immediately after, the first hollow statue began to crumble, and large swaths of stone fell off, and finally were swallowed up in blood and sand in the darkness.
In our eyes, blood, sand and gravel flew everywhere, all of which were like boiling water suddenly, bursting with great power in a narrow space.
This power is constantly being unleashed, bombarding the surrounding stone walls that block them, including the stone statues around us.
The chains rattled, and everything around them shook, and we were locked in the midst of the storm, beside these headless men, watching them crumble around them.
The visual impact of this kind of overlooking disaster is simply indescribable, as if we have seen the end through our own nervous system, but our bodies are imprisoned in the existing world.
Below, the blood and sand kept collapsing, like a rolling red stream, scurrying in all directions, stirring up one huge wave after another, until the harsh sound was mixed in with it, and I came back to my senses.
Holding the flashlight tightly, I pressed my body against the headless man behind me, feeling his arm resting on my spine, and a cold sensation rushed into my body.
The fingers trembled slightly, and the solid hammer in the other hand immediately broke off and fell into the darkness below?
I didn't have time to pay attention to that, though, and as soon as I came back to my senses, I felt a layer of blood sand rise below, and then the stone walls around me shook violently.
The chains in my hand also swayed, and I saw Li Sansi and Ham, they were on my right, but because of the previous rift, they were far away from me, and from the current position, you will find that there are some chains extending from the statues on our bodies, which will be connected to each other, standing in the midst of this shattered apocalypse.
Around us, several thick chains hung from all directions, and finally connected to the man in blue in the middle, turning into a large open net.
Only these chains are the most stable on the shaking stone walls, and because of this, we can survive this great change.
But in the midst of the confusion, when I shone my flashlight at the masked man, I found that he was gone, because there was no one else here except us, so I remember the location very clearly, he was next to me, on another statue.
But now when I look there, there is nothing but the statue.
He knew a lot about the things here, and he wouldn't move around, but the sudden movement just now didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, so I just focused on the chains in my hands.
However, now, there are only three of us here, so what did he do at that time, and what caused him to disappear here?
I looked around, wondering if he had accidentally fallen down in the midst of the shock just now.
No way! No, even those of us who came here later had anticipated this kind of large-scale collapse for the first time, so how could he not be prepared?
After looking around the statues again, I saw that the headless people were all suspended in the air, a total of twelve, each with their arms on their chests, but there was no shadow of the masked man at all.
Shari, it's pitch black, at a glance, I can't find anything, I want to call him, but there is such a big movement around, don't say he can't hear it, even if he can hear it, what can we do?
The surrounding stone walls were still collapsing, and large chunks of stone continued to fall, almost filling the entire space.
The shaking chains, the loud crashing sounds, all of this mingled in the ears so that no one could hear the other sounds.
My heart couldn't be quiet, and the sound of stones falling to my chest thumped in my chest.
This collapse lasted for a long time, until a bright light came from overhead, and I suddenly woke up.
Subconsciously looking up, I saw stones, those irregular stones, when I caught my sight, but also blocked the light above my head.
Looking back hard, I tried to push the stone that stood in my way with my hands, but the stone was so heavy that I couldn't push it with one hand, and now I was hanging in the air, and I couldn't use all my strength.
Far away from me, Ham beckoned to me to signal that he was safe, but I didn't have time to reply, but pushed the stones with all my might, and looked for the light behind them, the veins on my neck flared up, and the strength in my hands increased.
Finally, I pushed the rubble away, but just as I could look up, I heard an even louder roar coming from above.
The distant light was once again engulfed by the darkness around it, the collapse of the second layer, and this time it was no longer the stones or the fragments of the statues around us, but the quicksand that we were all too familiar with.
It's like a black waterfall, and I'd be happy if I could see it from a distance, but unfortunately I can't, I can't get out of here, because they're pouring in, and we have nowhere to go.
Looking back, I curled up beside the headless statue, as if close to it, and became like it, and I could only be silent, quietly bearing all this.
I clutched the chains nervously, only to hear loud noises lingering in my ears, and I felt the sand flowing down from the chrysalis behind me, driving a powerful impact that shook the stone statue continuously.
If it weren't for the fact that the body of the stone statue was pierced by chains, I am afraid that we would have been buried in the sand long ago.
Under the impact of the shock, I felt the sand above my head weigh on my body, and before I knew it, it had piled up, as if it were a grave to bury us here.
But they didn't end there, for more sand came down again, scattering the sand that had been piled up before, and almost falling down the statue's body again.
I craned my neck and hid in the shadow of the statue, staring at the sand in the darkness to see the layers of heavy black mist in front of me burying the hollow beneath.
Even in the midst of the crash, I can still hear the noise on the stone walls from before, wailing and struggling in the dark, but in the end nothing can be changed, because the disaster will change everything, including our memories.
It was an illusion, and it gave me a sense of powerlessness, as if my body was also becoming a statue, and I couldn't resist the outcome of fate and choice.
Turning back cautiously, I looked up, but the sand seemed to be endless, and I could not see any light; Any result.
As I approached the stone statue, the sand flowed into my neck, and the damp sensation seemed to flow into my body, merging with the blood, and finally gradually flowing away and disappearing.
But I didn't dare to think about it because of this, because in the dark, my perception would be more keen, and if I continued to think about it like this, I was afraid that my heart would not be able to bear it.
I tried to control everything, and my hand holding the chains tightened, like my own heart of waiting.
In this way, I don't know how long passed, and the sand gradually became smaller, and it seemed that it was about to disappear.
Although it has not completely stopped, the situation has changed for the better, and I carefully move my body to look around through the darkness.
But at this moment, not far from me, there was a sudden meow of a cat, and I was shocked when I heard it, and immediately looked for the place where the sound came.
The black cat had been put away by Ham just now, but when he looked over where Ham had been, he realized that the sound did not come from there.
The voice was getting closer and closer to me, as if it ......
I followed the sound, turned my head, searched around, and finally found a black shadow next to the man in blue.
Two faint rays of light spilled out of its eyes, as if two ghostly fires were suspended in midair.
I knew it was the black cat, but I wasn't sure what it saw, so it made this noise to warn everyone.
I saw that the sand was getting smaller, so I was about to let go of one hand and go to the backpack to get a flashlight to illuminate what the black cat saw, but as soon as I let go of the hand, before I could unzip the backpack, I felt the whole statue shake violently, and then the black cat shadow jumped up and flew over the statue.
