Chapter 242: Exhausted (2nd Update)
Seeing Yaolong swallow it, the man behind him was a little relieved, and he said to us: "Then, then you first, rest, rest." As he spoke, the man pointed to the room opposite us, as if to signal us to sleep there. And he himself slowly walked into the room that the woman had entered earlier.
When Yaolong saw them leaving, he spread out his palm and put it down in front of me, only to see that the insect-like thing was lying in his palm. At this time, I took a closer look and found that the insect-like thing was actually alive, and I saw that its shriveled feet kept dancing wildly, as if trying to struggle to get up.
Seeing this, my heart sank, thanks to Yaolong's cleverness, if it were me, I might have eaten this worm a long time ago. Then, fearing that a man and a woman in the house would hear what we were talking about, we got up and went first to the room to which the man was pointed.
The rotten wooden door was closed, and the candles were lit. At this time, I realized that this is a place for people to live, and it is clearly a utility room, where hay and some farm tools are piled up on the ground, and from the grass there is a foul smell, as if something is rotten.
In addition, there is only one one-foot-square window on the wall around the house, so the air in the house is not very circulating, and there is no way to rest.
"What the hell is this?" I held a candle lamp to illuminate Yaolong, looked at the insects in his palm that were still struggling, and asked puzzledly.
"There is no doubt that this must be some kind of Gu technique, but as for what kind of Gu it is, I don't know." Yao Long stomped the worm still on the ground and crushed it. Listening to the sound of "squeak~" from the insect, it was trampled into a puddle of pus by Yaolong.
Seeing this, I frowned and said, "It seems that we have fallen into a trap again this time, there must be something strange about this village." ”
With that, I began pacing back and forth around the room, trying to piece together the known clues and piece together a complete truth. The blood-stained rags found in the mountains, then encountered by unknown stowaways, then attacked by wolves, and finally rescued by the mountain people here, according to their mouths, it seems that some people have disappeared in the village......
Thinking about it, my mind was a mess, and I don't know if it was because I didn't have a clue about it, or because I hadn't rested for too long, and my brain wasn't working properly.
I was anxious, and suddenly I heard some strange sounds, "Rustling~" seemed to come from the grass on the side.
As soon as I heard the sound, I instinctively turned around, shone the candle flame in my hand on the haystack that made the sound, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"You, did you hear anything?!" I nervously asked Yaolong in the darkness beside me.
But there was a dead silence in the room, except for the strange sound coming from the haystack, there was no other sound, and Yaolong's voice could not be heard at all.
"Yaolong?" I shouted again in confusion, and slowly turned around, shining the candle flame in my hand towards the place where Yaolong had been before. As the light slowly moved through the dark room, a figure gradually appeared in my field of vision, and I saw that the man was dressed in the same clothes as Yaolong, standing in the corner with his back to me, constantly shaking from side to side, without saying a word.
"Yaolong, what's wrong with you?!" I was a little anxious and walked slowly towards the corner. At this moment, Yaolong suddenly turned around, only to see his eyes gradually bulging, and then rolling down from his sockets. As the eyeballs dropped, centipedes and spiders crawled out of his empty bird's nest, followed by his mouth, nose, and ears......
As more and more poisonous insects poured out of his facial features, his body gradually lost weight and gradually became a skin. At this moment, the poisonous insects that poured out of his body pounced on me in dense clusters. Seeing this, I was speechless in astonishment, and could only widen my eyes and open my mouth in horror, and kept retreating.
As I stepped back, I felt as if I had stepped on something. When I looked back, I saw a half-human-tall spider lying at my feet, and the other half of its body was hiding in the grass in the corner.
This time, because I stepped on one of the legs, it jumped up and pounced on my door. In desperation, I hurriedly withdrew my hand and pulled out the spirit from behind me, and prepared to plunge the sword directly into my chest to awaken the void......
But just then, a hand suddenly reached out from my side, and that hand grabbed my wrist to hold the spirit, preventing me from awakening the void. Immediately after that, I felt a pain behind me, as if I had been pinched hard.
With the pain, I suddenly came back to my senses, and then I realized that I was standing in the corner of the wall, holding the spirit in one hand and about to stab it in the chest, and it was Yaolong who grabbed my wrist.
"What, hallucinations again?!" He asked with concern.
At this moment, I was already sweating profusely, and the candle in my hand was trembling. "Yes, it should be." I said a little overwhelmed.
Then, I put the spirit in my backpack again, and after using the candle flame in my hand to confirm that the Yaolong in front of me was indeed me, I felt a little relieved.
"This damn hallucination comes up every now and then, and I almost can't tell what's real and what's hallucination......" I said, leaning against the wall, wiping the sweat from my forehead.
"It's not a way to go on like this, if you continue to hold on like this, you won't have a nervous breakdown, we have to think of a way......" Yaolong said and began to ponder.
At this moment, as soon as I relaxed, my eyelids began to heavily, and gradually I felt that my limbs gradually lost control, and my body leaning against the wall slowly slid down the wall due to the loss of strength.
"Hey, don't sleep......" Yaolong saw that I was going to fall asleep, and hurriedly tried to shake me awake. But because I'm so tired, it's not that I want to sleep anymore, but I'm about to get through it.
No matter how violently the dragon shook, I couldn't shake me awake anymore, and gradually I felt my body touch the pile of hay in the corner.
At that moment, I suddenly felt as if something had been stabbed in my buttocks, and I stood up in an instant pain. "What, what......" I rubbed my ass at a loss and turned to look at the bulging haystack on the ground.
"Is there anything in there?" When Yaolong saw that I was awake, he looked at the pile of hay in the corner of the wall in confusion, and stepped forward to kick it away.
As Yaolong kicked it away, in the dim candlelight, I saw a pile of white bones appear in the hay, and I even saw a human skull in it...... [.]
