Chapter 119: Danger lurks
Shocked, I immediately grabbed the chain again, not knowing what the black cat had found when it ran away.
But when I was staring nervously at the figure of the black cat, I realized that it was coming towards me, could there be something wrong near me?
Thinking so, I fixed my mind and looked around, but except for the black cat, there were shaking chains and falling sand.
If not these, then what else did I not notice?
Finally, my eyes were focused on the darkness in front of me, it could not be "it" in the sand, but what could survive such a collapse?
The first thing that comes to my mind is those skeletons, they may be similar to the skeletons in Yunnan, they can come back to life in the blood sand, will they ......
While I was nervously thinking about this possibility, the black cat had quietly climbed onto the stone statue behind me, and then kept screaming at the darkness in warning.
The scream, accompanied by the sounds around me, made my whole heart hang, and I first wrapped the chain around my arm a few times, fixed my body, and then went to my backpack to feel for the flashlight.
With difficulty unzipping, I quickly felt the flashlight inside, and after eagerly taking it out, I immediately opened it, but then another black shadow stumbled down from the top of my head.
There was a lot of movement, but I didn't see what it was, it just felt like a strip.
Thinking of this possibility, I pulled the flashlight upwards again, but what I saw was still a steady stream of sand.
At this moment, Ham's voice came again, and the voice was very urgent, but I heard it clearly, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on my body.
"Someone fell from above, right here for me."
It's nothing to be afraid of, but I subconsciously think of the absentee around us, if even he dies here, then how are we going to get out.
I recalled what he said to me before, and those words seemed to make me stick to my choice, but ...... I didn't expect him to leave us now.
Is this what happens after the choice? Are we going to die here too?
I don't believe it!
When we close our eyes, the darkness lasts for a long time, and finally it opens up suddenly, because no matter what the outcome is, we can't avoid it.
I knew that the shadow had fallen on Ham's side, so I shone a flashlight at him.
We were so far apart that even if I found the body, I couldn't tell who it was, so I asked Ham to help identify the body when I shone on him.
But when I asked who this person was, but I didn't hear Ham's answer for a long time, my heart trembled, could it be that Ham saw this person's face under the mask.
But on second thought, even so, why didn't it answer me, was it because there was something wrong between them?
Through the previous relationship, I didn't find anything wrong with them.
I repeated it impatiently, but suddenly heard Li Sansi answer coldly, "This person is also one of us, but he didn't die here, but was washed down from the trap above along the quicksand." ”
Hearing his explanation, I was bittersweet, happy that the body was not a masked man, which meant that he was still alive, and worried that he was still there.
With the presence of this person, we can guess a way out, perhaps by climbing all the way up above our heads, we can find a way out.
Although this is a clumsy solution, there seems to be no other way to do it, because if the trap above is connected to here, we can go back to the trap the same way as we are.
But so far, we don't know how many of them fell into the trap in that position.
If we can determine the identity of this person, it will be of great help to the location where we are going, but looking at the darkness below, only Li Sansi dares to go down and check the corpse.
There are very few sandflows above us, which also makes the frequency of the chains shaking smaller, but as far as the eye can see, the originally huge space is now almost filled with these sands, almost filled, but the bottom is not solid, but there are some stones supporting some empty places.
The sand was so close to us that Li Sansi could easily jump down, and when I turned on the flashlight, I shone on him, and he shone on the sand under his feet, all the way to the place where the body had fallen just now.
His pace was very careful, for fear of stepping on the empty place and leaking through the sand, if it was shallow, it was fine, but if it was deeper, half of his body would be buried, and then it would be troublesome.
If it is a real sandy place, it will be buried, and it will be nothing, but it is different here, if you really encounter such a thing, the pressure on your body will increase dramatically, and the ground may sink rapidly, and the person standing in the sand will also be sunk because of this.
This kind of feeling like sitting on pins and needles is not something that anyone can control, so only if you are extremely careful and have enough mental endurance.
Although his speed was not fast, because he was very close to the corpse, it didn't take long for him to come to the corpse.
At this time, Ham also turned on the flashlight, and the three of us shone on Li Sansi and the corpse at the same time, and I saw that the ground around the corpse had some signs of collapse, and its two legs had been buried in sand.
Li Sansi moved the flashlight, carefully looked at the corpse a few times, and finally fixed his gaze on the corpse's face, and then slowly bent down to look.
Because it was far away, I naturally couldn't see the faces of Li Sansi and Ham, and I only heard Ham whisper something to Li Sansi, and then there was no movement.
Li Sansi's vision was blocked, and I could only shine the flashlight elsewhere, but when I inadvertently shone on the deceased's trousers, I found a layer of red blood sand slowly overflowing from the sand.
They are like strange waters in the sea, and when they come into contact with everything around them, they hide their own dangers.
"Be careful, step!" I said something loudly to them, but they didn't seem to react, and looked down at their feet, but found nothing, and just about to take back the flashlight, I added, "At the feet of the corpse, those red sand seeped out." ”
Hearing this, Li Sansi was slightly stunned, but soon understood, the flashlight swept behind him, and then quickly walked a few steps to the side.
The area of the blood sand is not large now, but it is still infiltrating, and when Li Sansi returned to his position without danger, I heard the black cat's bark again, which pulled me back from the scene just now.
I immediately realized that the trouble around me had not been found, and I did not know what danger this astute black cat had discovered.
I looked down, and sure enough, here I saw the red blood sand, which seeped out of the sand beneath me, like a dense sea, and the unbreakable sand and rocks rushed out of the ground.
At the same time, there was also blood and sand flowing from the place where it was supposed to be the gate, and I looked nervously at the sand, feeling as if these things were alive, and quickly approached the dead man.
The black cat whispered beside me, as if to warn of it, but I was slow to sense the danger coming.
Although the blood sand below is not far from us, judging from the current speed, as long as we stand here, it will not threaten us.
I looked up a few more times, and the sand above my head was still falling intermittently, blocking the flow of blood sand from time to time, forcibly stopping them.
However, I listened to the uneasy cry of the black cat around me, and I couldn't relax in my heart, but now I don't know what I can do to solve the current predicament.
Time is passing minute by minute, and the black cat's voice seems to be reading the time, but from beginning to end, it doesn't move, and it seems to have an uncertain meaning for the warning of danger?
Maybe I, like it, are waiting, afraid of the result, but I have to see the result.
Following the falling quicksand, my flashlight also shone through, and I saw a flash of blood sand quickly hit the corpse and began to spread all around.
The sand turned completely into water, and just as we were all holding our breath and staring at the strange scene, we suddenly heard a rush and a bullet flew over.
At this moment, we were all awakened, but we saw that the blood sand quickly wrapped the whole corpse, and then, the corpse seemed to be attached to the second layer of skin, but the same layer of skin was also sucking the blood from the corpse.
The corpse under the light, I felt like fruit scorched by the scorching sun, and the nutrients were squeezed out of the body by the red skin.
Then, the surface of the body quickly flattened, showing the folds that had piled up, and the whole body seemed to have become a complete skin and bones, and a few more glances made people feel creepy.
I subconsciously withdrew the flashlight, but at the same time, I saw the deceased's withered arm in the afterglow, and it actually moved.
In the end, all the places on the body were covered with blood sand, which was attached to the thin layer of skin like a cicada's clothes, completely dyeing the corpse blood-red.
