Chapter 49: The Statue
"I don't fucking understand why Space is bringing us to this island." Dai Shikai said as he put on his equipment, "Those monsters must have been influenced by their great Lord Cthulhu of Lalleye. But what about us? Did the space throw us here to feed the monsters? ”
He patted his head self-deprecatingly and sighed: "Blame me, I haven't noticed Brother Qing's abnormality all along." After going up the mountain, too, sometimes I saw that he didn't sleep peacefully, but I never thought about it...... Why, why is it always him who is unlucky? There are so many of us in our group, but he was chosen and dreamed of Raleier and the Old Dominator! ”
Xu Zhen and Bei Qi saw that his face was full of self-blame, and they deeply understood the pain in Dai Shikai's heart. What Lu Qing is suffering now is far more than all of them [31 update fast].
"Brother Qing, that fool, with his character, something will definitely happen." Dai Shikai fastened the rope around his waist and said to Xu Zhen: "I'm sorry, Brother Xu Zhen." I'm not as smart as Brother Qing, and even now I don't know where the real way of life is. If I don't go back this time, you...... Take care. ”
"Don't say such things." Xu Zhen shook his head: "You and Lu Qing are my best friends, no matter what happens, I will not leave you." Go ahead, I'm sure you can get him back. We're here, waiting for you to come back. Feel free to call me if you need to. ”
"Hmm." Dai Shikai stretched out his arms, hugged and encouraged Xu Zhen, and then seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Betsy on the side: "I know your feelings and dedication to Brother Qing, but you also know that he only has Wen Qiao in his heart." Betsy, you are a good girl, and Brother Qing also hopes that you can find true happiness. ”
"I know." Betsy smiled indifferently: "Don't ask for anything in return, but ask for no regrets." Kai, stay safe. ”
Dai Shikai nodded, and finally, under the gaze of the two, he followed the edge of the cliff and began to slowly climb down. His speed is very fast, but his hand and foot movements are very calm, even if he has been tirelessly rushing for a day, but he has already retained such strength, which can't help but make people wonder if he is a monster, with physical fitness beyond ordinary people.
Dai Shikai jumped up in the air and landed safely on the protruding stone wall. Large cold sweat dripped on the ground in front of him, and when he wore it, Kai's legs were weak, his throat was fishy, and there was a lot of white sweat on his back. He gasped for breath before he put his hands on the ground and barely stood up.
Where is he as strong as everyone sees, and he can hold on to this point, but he just relies on the last bit of faith.
Dai Shikai found the stone tablet, and after looking at the long and complex hieroglyphs on it, he took it in and waved his hand at Xu Zhen and the others. Then, without looking back, he walked into the cave in front of him.
Xu Zhen and Betsy watched him disappear out of sight, and they all pinched a cold sweat for him. Xu Zhen thought about it, put his backpack aside, and said to Betsy: "I'm sorry, just now I was afraid that Akai would be worried, so I agreed to let him stay here." I can't ignore the lives and deaths of my companions, so ......"
"Well, go ahead." Betsy knew what he was going to say, and smiled calmly: "Don't talk about you, I don't want to wait here." ”
"You ......" Xu Zhen wanted to open his mouth to persuade her to stay, but thinking of Betsy's feelings for Lu Qing, it seemed that he could not get rid of it in a few words, so he no longer stopped him: "Okay, I'll go down first, and then you can follow." ”
"Okay." Betsy nodded, but her expression suddenly became serious. At the same time, Xu Zhen also glanced at her knowingly, and took out the dagger from his bag. They all noticed that just as they were communicating, there was a small movement in the thick fog behind them......
"I'll do it here, you can go." Before Lu Qing entered the cellar, he suddenly turned around and said to Ni Ya solemnly: "It's enough for you to take me here." As for the dangers that lie ahead, I don't think you can afford them. So, let's go. ”
"This ......" Ni Ya didn't expect the other party to say this to herself, and she didn't react for a while. Lu Qing looked at her and said solemnly, "It's okay, you can go." ”
"Well, then you have to be careful." Ni Ya pursed her lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and left him all the weapons in her bag that could defend herself: "I know that my strength is not very good, not only can I not help, but I may also drag you down." To be honest, I admire you for daring to face this alone. I wish you success! She said something precious, and then quickly left the place with her bag on her back.
A steady and powerful footstep resounded from the empty steps, echoing through the vast and dark underground chamber. The light of the fire shone on Lu Qing's face, setting off the shadow between his eyebrows deeper and deeper.
Unlike the exquisite and luxurious marble decorations of the church above, the stone walls here are crude materials, and there are mysterious words and terrifying images carved everywhere, although Lu Qing can't read it, he can be sure that the things on it are exactly the same as those on the stone tablet on the cliffside, and they should record information from the same era.
When he walked down the steps and stepped over the puddle of blood on the ground, Lu Qing suddenly noticed the circular altar in the center of the church's underground and the mysterious statue covered in a white cloth about three meters high. Even though it was tightly covered, Lu Qing could still feel the huge, terrifying, and unimaginably ancient stone statues below.
In the final analysis, the sinister feeling of unease and fear in this town emanated from the statue in front of him.
No, there seems to be something in the dark.
At this time, he noticed two figures on the ground not far away, and when Lu Qing approached, he was surprised to find that these two people were Li Zeyan and Qing Shui, who had disappeared before. Luckily they didn't die, just temporarily fell into a coma.
Lu Qing looked around, and there were all tight walls. He touched the walls around him unbelievingly, but found no passage. There was no other exit except for the staircase I had just come down.
Don't...... Is this connected to the cliff space? After the two entered the cave, they triggered some kind of opportunity, or from the beginning, this mysterious tunnel has been connecting the two, so Li Zeyan and Qing Shui did not disappear, but returned directly to the church in the town.
"Here? Hiss...... How could I be? Just as Lu Qing was thinking, the voice of Qing Shui came from behind him.
He looked at Lu Qing in surprise, and after looking around, he became even more dazed: "Aren't we in front of a cave on the edge of the cliff?" Over here...... Hey, Li Zeyan is also there! ”
As if hearing someone speak, Li Zeyan, who was originally unconscious, frowned, and slowly opened his eyes.
When he and Qing Shui learned from Lu Qing that they had now returned to the town, both of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"What is this statue?" Shui rubbed his temples, always felt uncomfortable, and his scalp couldn't stop tingling. And when he saw the statue in the basement, he finally realized that all the discomfort in his body came from this strange statue.
