Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Eyes of the Mother Worm

We walked around the things on the ground and slowly shot the flashlight into the stone wall, and we saw a black hole inside.

Dongfang scratched the shell with a knife again, and saw that there was a very broken layer at the incision, which should be the inner membrane of this creature, like a hard-boiled egg, the thin film attached to the egg white after peeling off the egg skin.

"What the hell is this?" I asked in Dongfang's ear.

"I don't know! But it should be possible to get to other tombs! As he spoke, he looked back at me and Liu Ran again, "But we have to get past it." ”

"From here!" I glanced down at the liquid on the ground, and I felt a little resigned.

Dongfang nodded, "It seems that there is only one way, if we don't pass from here, I'm afraid we will be crushed into pies like the last guy who came here." ”

As he spoke, he took out Kun Tiandou again, "The pointer on it is from the top, to the east, south, west, north, and finally when you come here, it is possible to squeeze the space, think about it, what else can we do now." ”

Hearing him say this, I glanced at the corpse in the distance again, and finally nodded in agreement.

Through this opening, a lot of liquid was sent out, but it was still not enough for the three of us to pass through.

On the stone wall, this mural occupies a large part of it, and we roughly calculate that it should be the monster's belly that appears in front of us.

At this time, Dongfang changed to a larger knife and cut the hole continuously, and beckoned me to go over and help smash it with a steel pipe.

By this time, the shells carved into the stone walls were no longer as hard as they had been, and I felt more like some kind of hard plastic when I smashed them.

Taking advantage of this, Liu Ran endured the nausea, looking for something over there, as if to determine the growth habits of this thing.

But by the time we had all made a half-human-high incision, she didn't find anything useful, and ended up just using a needle to draw some liquid, and was going to go back for another test.

When we came to our senses, we packed up our things and began to follow the smashing hole into the hive in front of us.

Because there is still some distance between the opening and the ground, when we step in, it is like walking up a staircase.

From the outside, the hole had been hit on the thing, but as soon as I walked in, I felt as if I had entered an empty cave all at once.

The space here is indeed very large, and the whole picture cannot be seen from the outside, if it weren't for the discovery of body fluids on the stone wall in the east, who would have thought that there would be such a huge space in this stone wall.

The flashlight shone inside, and I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, because there were many large and small spheres piled up in front of us, which looked very much like a kind of bubble, translucent, but what was hidden inside were all that kind of weird bugs.

"It seems that we are lucky, now is the incubation period of this thing, which also explains why we haven't encountered so many!" Dongfang said, shaking the flashlight to other places.

Following his flashlight, I saw the inner intestines, like sewage pipes, and like meat snakes entrenched in caves, hanging from all corners of the head.

Looking further along these lines, after bypassing the place where the eggs are stored, there are some disgusting internal organs, and the feeling of slippery flesh makes me sick to my stomach.

"Let's go! I don't want to stay in this place for a minute! Holding back my vomit, I removed the flashlight from what I had just done.

They seemed to feel the same way, so they didn't say anything more, and walked quickly inside.

Walking here, I felt that there was always a bit of resistance under my feet, and when the light went down, I saw that my feet were no longer covered with a layer of sticky stuff.

I immediately shook it vigorously, but at that moment, I suddenly felt a sound under my feet, and everyone immediately stopped and listened.

The sound went from far to near, and suddenly from somewhere behind us, a sticky juice spurted out and landed on the eggs.

"What's that?" I frowned and asked, and listened to Dongfang's reply, "It may be a bodily fluid that promotes the hatching of insect eggs, but judging by the posture, there should be more than one place here where you can spray this kind of juice." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the juice squirted out from the other direction, and I felt a layer of cold sweat break out on my head in an instant, and I wiped it with my hand, only to realize that it was actually those juices.

"Let's go!" Liu Ran shouted at us, turned around and walked forward.

I followed the east, deep and shallow, and walked forward, but behind me came the sound of the eruption one after another.

It's not as hard to walk as it is outside, but I don't know what it will be, and even I'm afraid that if I don't step on it, I'll be slid into the other organs of this thing.

Such a huge creature, its body is like a mountain, and I don't know what else is inside.

For the unknown, I am afraid and curious, but now is not the time to think too much, I can only put all my mind in front of me, and follow Dongfang without falling behind.

Here, we have come to a potholed area, which at first glance is full of bulging flesh and a layer of viscous liquid on it, which at first glance looks like tree sap.

Here, we paused, Dongfang took out Kun Tiandou from his backpack, looked at the pointer on it had begun to move downward, and looked back again, at this time the magnetic field should have reached the lower side, but I didn't know that it was the tomb that would be opened.

We don't have time to go back now, and even if we find the tombs, we may not be able to keep up with the speed of those tombs, so we might as well wait and find a way to get out of here.

Carefully stepping on the slippery lump of meat always gives people a strange feeling.

Walking in the belly of a living creature, I really didn't dare to think about it anymore, but this feeling around me made me unbearable.

It seems that there are many pairs of eyes looking at us from that dark corner, and I don't know if they feel this way, or if anyone feels it as long as they are in it.

"Wait a minute, do you feel ......," I finally stopped, hesitantly speaking, "and it feels like we've been staring at a lot of eyes?" ”

The two people in front of him also stopped moving, and the light of a flashlight came over, and then there was Dongfang's voice, he lowered his voice very low, "You feel it too?" ”

I narrowed my eyes at the light of his flashlight, and after blocking it with my hand, I said, "What do you think is going on?!" ”

Dongfang looked at me, shook his head suddenly, and pulled me over.

It happened very suddenly, I didn't have time to prepare at all, my body was pulled by him like this, I lost my balance in an instant, and the whole person began to deviate downward, but fortunately I was pulled by Dongfang.

Being frightened like this, the feeling in my heart seemed to be infinitely magnified, as if those eyes were right behind me, but when I looked back, I didn't see anything.

"Pull me up!" I looked up and spoke to the east, but as soon as I finished speaking, I saw a long thing sliding down from the top of our heads.

"Watch the top of your head!" At this time, Liu Ran suddenly turned around, and when he saw us in this state, he didn't have time to ask anything, and rushed over with an arrow step.

Waving his hand and pulling out a short knife from his waist, Liu Ran slammed it when he walked to our side, hitting the body of the thing.

A stream of blood dripped down the knife, and I immediately lowered my head and dodged it.

Dongfang and Liu Ran worked together, and only then did they save me, but as soon as I came up, I asked Dongfang, what were you doing just now? Why did you pull me down all of a sudden?

He didn't say anything, but looked up and pointed to the spot where I was standing.

It was originally a flesh-shaped thing, round and slippery, so you have to be very careful when you walk through it.

But now, when I looked back again, I saw a strange black pattern.

The pattern looks like a mouth with fangs, and the teeth that come out of the mouth seem to open at any moment and swallow everything around it.

"I just saw it open, that's why I pulled you over!"

Hearing Dongfang say this, I also frowned, and said in my heart that this place is full of dangers, how can it look even more dangerous than outside.

"You just said it, and you feel it too!" My eyes were fixed on the flashlight, "That feeling of being watched?!" ”

Dongfang nodded, and shot the flashlight overhead and into the surrounding darkness. "Maybe not around, because we're inside it, and it wants to digest us here."

"Look at the eggs we had at the beginning, what is the reason why they have survived here for so long, they have strong vitality, they can connect with the outside world, or something else?"

"Maybe not, no matter how strong the vitality is, it can't live for hundreds of years, or even longer, because all the cells in its body will die sooner or later. This is the law of nature, and it will never change, but we have seen that this thing has survived, because it has never left here, it has become one with here, it is constantly incubating eggs here, making cells and regenerating, maintaining the reproduction of life and its own growth. ”

"At first we thought it was a nest for the bugs, but now it seems that it is the mother of all bugs, and when the bugs' life cycle is over, it will be reintegrated into the mother body and used to renew the cells of the mother worm."

Quiet, none of us spoke, Dongfang's words just now are a bold idea, maybe it can't be confirmed, but I have to admit that it is also the closest to the truth.

The reincarnation of the life cycle, the unlimited reproduction and growth of matter, in this small space, is enough to create a new and complete biological chain.

Maybe we are all trying to accept, maybe we are all comforting ourselves with this real and incomprehensible world, until Liu Ran suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, "No matter what it is, if we can come, we can definitely leave." ”

Maybe that's a reassuring pill, maybe it's just the only thing we can do right now, keep going, no matter what lies ahead.

I don't know where we're heading, but when I feel like we're going up, the distance wasn't very long, maybe ten minutes or so, and the road in front of me became even harder.

"Perhaps, we can find a way to get out now, its shell is embedded in the stone wall, and it should lead to a different place!" I made this suggestion to them, and it seemed that they didn't want to stay longer, but look up and up, and if we could go up a little bit, we might be able to get closer to the exit.

The flashlight looked here again, and I saw a lot of meat sausages hanging on the left and right, and they would swing a few times from time to time, which looked very unsettling.

We fumbled, little by little towards the shell, and my hands felt slimy, and I didn't have time to see anything, I just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

A lot of the meat here is soft, and it's not so easy to find the part of the shell that can get out of here.

Walking along a fairly flat place, I didn't dare to look down, because my feet felt soft and soft when I stepped on it, and the focus point was also very slippery, and I was really afraid that my frightened legs would be weak and fall from here.

There is still that kind of sticky juice underneath, and when the flashlight passes over, I see a kind of picture reflected inside, and the picture is very awkward, probably caused by somewhere inside.

Finally, the road came to an end, and we found the hard shell, but just as we were about to gain a foothold, a slippery thing came out of our heads.
