Chapter 7: Distant Legends: Eighty-Eight, Escape
At this time, the green leaf ears seemed to know her plan, and suddenly all the green ears poured out of the nest, dripping a large piece of blood from it, dyeing Zhang Zhang and the silk in her hands all blood-red. Zhang Zhang couldn't care about so much, endured the disgust and disgust in his heart, and twisted the silk that had been pulled out into a thin rope. She took the string and whipped the green ears on top with all her might, causing them to make the noise of waves crashing against the shore. Later, pieces of green leaf ears grew arm-like vines, wrapped around Zhang Zhang's body, and pulled her up vigorously.
Although the situation was very unfavorable for Zhang Zhang, she still fought hard to face it. Every fallen leaf that stretched over was pulled out mercilessly by Zhang Zhang. But every time a fallen leaf is pulled out, a green leaf with hands and feet will immediately regenerate at the fracture. Seeing that the ear-shaped green leaves multiply more and more, they will soon encircle her into a big zongzi. In a hurry, she suddenly rushed to a coral lamp and soaked the improvised silk rope into the oil lamp. The silk rope was ignited in an instant. Zhang Zhangru got the treasure, and hurriedly waved the fiery silk rope to kill all the way. The green leaf ears that were ignited by the fire really let out a miserable cry, and they fell to the ground one after another, turning into ashes. Suddenly, the entire space was filled with a stench of burnt skin, which was disgusting. As she could see, the leafy greenery above her head had been burned out of a big hole by her. Suddenly, with a click, a monster crawling with maggots all over its body fell from above, staring at the empty eye socket full of maggots wandering, and pressed towards Zhang Zhang.
Zhang Zhang was driven to a dead end. In this unsheltered, empty cavern, she had nowhere to escape, and was surrounded on all sides by hard walls.
Maggots fell like snow, falling on the ground and stacking on top of each other, like waves of gray-white waves, wriggling towards Zhang Zhang. And the monster, which was covered with maggots and had only empty eyes, also followed behind the maggots with an empty face, fluttering over. It can be seen that this monster has no joints all over its body, cannot turn when walking, and cannot turn its slender arms. This buys a little precious time for the frightened Zhang.
Whenever a monster approached her, she would always bend down and escape from the monster's armpit. So, a large number of maggots led a king-sized maggot monster, like a strange wave, surging forward one after another. Zhang Zhang knew that it was not a way to go on like this. What should I do when my strength will eventually run out? She walked around the bend as much as she could. But the maggot monster is easy to deal with, but the maggot is not easy to dodge. A lot of maggots had already climbed onto her shoes, just burrowing their heads into her trouser legs. It's a feeling like life is worse than death. When the maggot monster approached her again in the corner of the wall, Zhang Zhang actually went against the norm, and instead of drilling through his armpit that he couldn't bend, he put the cloak that had been half of the silk drawn out towards the maggot monster's hood. The maggot monster was very slow to react, unable to turn around to the sudden change, and Zhang Zhang had already taken advantage of his stunned effort, jumped to his shoulder through the cloak, and simply escaped to the ceiling where the maggot monster fell by his height.
The ceiling is also not a good place to go. Everywhere were severed limbs, all squirmed with layers of maggots. The extreme stench was so smoky that Zhang Zhang almost fell back into the cave. But when she saw that the maggot monster was ridiculously removing the cloak that covered his skull, and grinning at where she was standing, she endured the severe nausea, and went on with her head down.
She saw a well-dressed woman hanging from the top of another floor, but her chest had been stripped of the two lumps of flesh inside, leaving only a pair of empty skin bags with pleats to swing in the darkness, and her legs were so frightened that she fell to her knees with a pop. A piece of metal just happened to hurt her kneecap. She instinctively picked up the hard object and found that it was a very fine jade pendant. Even in the dark, you can see its glossy green color. She didn't have time to think about it, she just squeezed it into the palm of her hand.
The maggot monster was already roaring below, and the loud roar shook the hole that had been pierced a little more. The maggot monster, which was extremely clumsy just now, suddenly ran wildly underneath, and fled in a panic. So, one person and one monster, one on the top and one on the bottom, began the race. Zhang Zhang ran extremely hard, because the maggots in the hole were all covered with a moving carpet, and every time he stepped on it, he felt like life was worse than death. There are also those severed limbs and stumps, who make a stumbling block from time to time, and make Zhang Zhang fall into a mess.
The maggot monster finally crawled to the upper cave and returned to his secluded lair. At this time, the situation became more and more unfavorable for Zhang Zhang. For Zhang Zhang, the top of the cave was strange and dark, and she couldn't find a way out when she ran left and right. As for the maggot, he doesn't have eyes in the first place, and relies on his sense of smell to find his target. The roof of the cave was his burrowing lair, and every fold was familiar to him. Therefore, it didn't take long for him to catch up with Zhang Zhang.
At the narrow roof of the cave, Zhang Zhang could no longer find a space to bend over and escape. When the maggot monster once again barricaded her against a wall, she closed her eyes in infinite sadness and let out a heart-rending cry from her mouth. The palm of his hand slashed blindly and frantically at the maggot monster in a desperate situation. At the moment when her palm landed on the maggot monster, the maggot monster let out a heart-rending cry that was even more heart-rending than Zhang Zhang's. This earth-shattering exclamation of ghosts and gods opened a door to the bottom for Zhang Zhang. Zhang Zhang fell defenselessly, and the moment she fell, she saw that the maggot monster was on fire all over her body, and it turned to ashes in less than a second. The moment the maggot monster turned into ashes, Zhang Zhang, whose body fell down, realized that all the maggots on his body were also wiped out. Her body and mind suddenly emptied, and the person fell into a secret room with a thud, and she could knock a man who was sitting cross-legged on a futon and practicing in retreat to the ground.
The man foamed at the mouth, shrunk into a lump, and shivered. Zhang Zhang himself was really bluffed. She didn't know how she managed to get rid of a maggot monster right away. I don't know how I knocked down this man who was in retreat and cultivated. She guessed that the retreat person dressed as a Taoist priest was the Vulture Venerable. Because on the black robe on his body, a vicious vulture was embroidered on his chest. In the middle of the headband on his head, there is also the symbol of a vulture. What's more, he has a hooked nose and deep eyes, and he looks like a scavenging fierce bird, and he is not a good bird at first glance.
Remembering that he relied exclusively on the evil path of the girl Yuan Hong's cultivation, Zhang Zhang's first reaction was to flee quickly. However, the Vulture Venerable's triple cave palace couldn't find the entrance to enter or exit the cave.
