Chapter Seventy-Four: The Secret in the Stone
"Uncle, what the hell is going on!"
"You ask me, I ask the ghost?"
Actually, if there's a monster standing in front of you, it's okay to say it, just blast it directly, but what I'm most afraid of is this invisible and untouchable thing, you don't know its specific form of existence, so there's no way to deal with it at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I can't help but feel a heart, death is death, anyway, this way of dying is not painful, it can be turned into stone for many years without rotting, and it is not good that it will be excavated thousands of years later, and I will become a work of art, which will be admired by the world in the museum!
Before I knew it, I was left with only one head exposed, and my whole body was completely turned to stone, without any reaction, and the feeling was quite subtle, as if you had been cut off by someone, but you were surprised to find that you were still alive, although there was only a head left, but you can still think.
Suddenly, the fawn shuddered, as if he was aware of something, I thought he had thought of something, but I didn't expect him to actually raise the eight-one bar and aim at my head.
"Damn! You're sick! Even if I'm a dying person, you don't need to be so ruthless, don't you want to practice marksmanship before you die? I roared hoarsely.
As soon as he finished speaking, a smile appeared on his lips, and he turned the tip of the gun to point at the boulder behind me.
"You're fucking scaring me, I'm going to die and I'm still joking, I'll obey you if I don't adapt to the soil......"
Before I could finish, my lower lip stiffened completely, and then my upper lip began to petrify, and I couldn't make any more sounds.
I started to worry a little that if my nose was petrified, wouldn't I be unable to breathe? But I shouldn't have been completely dead at that time, so what would it be like, I guess it was very uncomfortable.
I adjusted my breathing, took a deep breath and held it, hoping it would hold up for a while.
But then I realized that something was wrong, because my lungs were petrified, but I could still breathe, you know, breathing must be accompanied by the expansion and contraction of the lungs, this stone is so hard, how can it move?
It occurred to me that this petrification may only stay on the surface, for example, the clothes are petrified, but the chest can still move, and it will not start to be carried out into the body until the whole person is completely sealed, which will explain why the brain can still think, the reason is that the blood circulation continues.
If that's the case, then the rest of the process will be very painful, and I can't help but become a little anxious.
At that moment, the fawn fired, and I could clearly see the bullet passing in front of my eyes, flying towards the stone behind me, and after a burst of gunshots, his hand turned to stone, and I looked at my fingernails, and there was really no change there.
In less than half a second, there was a sound of stones tearing behind me, and I squinted my eyes to look at them, and I could only see a few cracks in one corner of the stone, and then the stones cracked, made a loud noise, and scattered all over the ground.
Almost instantly, the petrification marks on my body gradually faded, from top to bottom, the whole process was very fast, and the moment my feet could leave the ground, I felt a new life!
Before I could finish celebrating my regained freedom, I heard the fawn shout, "Run!" ”
I subconsciously turned my head to look at it, and I couldn't help but gasp. I saw a large number of scattered stones mixed with countless gray particles, which were rampaging on the ground like ants on a hot pan.
"What are you doing in a daze, it's those bugs that will burrow into your skin and turn you into stone!"
When I heard this, I realized that these things turned out to be insects, but the color was the same as stone, so I couldn't see it at first glance.
In a moment of hesitation, those gray insects suddenly gathered together, densely packed, forming a dark gray sphere, and quickly rolled towards us.
I cursed and hurriedly turned and ran away.
These insects behave a bit like ants, when the ants encounter the danger of water or fire, they will wrap themselves into a ball and roll out of the fire, and after escaping, all the ants outside are scorched, but the ants inside survive. Could it be that these insects, like ants, are in any danger?
The fawn said as he ran: "These insects can't see the air, I just burst the stones, they have to get together and look for new hosts, when the time comes, these insects outside will turn into stones, and the inside will burrow into the host, absorb nutrients, and breed from generation to generation!" ”
"Oh? You know this again? It's so mysterious, it's made up at first glance! I said.
"As long as you talk a lot, I guess it's not good, hurry up and run!" The fawn said indignantly.
I couldn't help but be a little moved by these little insects that they were so united, but the next second I realized that these insects were not good either, so I quickened my pace.
The ball rolled faster and denser, and gradually formed a stone ball, which came at us like crazy.
Seeing that we were about to be overtaken, the fawn slowed down and turned to the stone ball, which was a shuttle, but they seemed to have been prepared for it, and quickly turned into a huge net, through which the bullets passed, and when the gunfire was over, they gathered back together into a ball and continued to roll forward.
"Looks like you've met an opponent." I quipped.
The fawn snorted, put the gun on his back in frustration, turned around and continued to run.
The canyon is long and can't see the end, a few of us are tired and panting, and we never see the stone ball stop, it seems that they can't get to the Yellow River and don't give up, but there is no way, we can only try our best to escape, live for a while, and leave things like being their host to other unlucky ghosts!
I couldn't run anymore and yelled, "Hey! We can't keep running like this, even Usain Bolt will always be caught up one day. ”
"Then what do you say, if you can take us out, I will call you uncle in the future!" Uncle Li said with a wry smile.
Suddenly, Uncle Li screamed, and when I looked back, I found that his feet were already crawling with stone insects at some point, and the gray stone-like material quickly spread around.
"Hurry up! Leave me alone! Uncle Li shouted, and at the same time, his feet were completely petrified and he couldn't move while standing there.
Naturally, we could not die without help, so I took out a shovel and smashed the stones under his feet, and then one of them lifted one of his arms and ran forward.
"Let you leave it alone, no one will be able to run away at that time!" Uncle Li roared, his voice a little hoarse.
At this moment, the valley road in front suddenly became wider, and there was a lake not far away, which seemed to be very deep.
Since the stone worms behave similarly to ants, they must have been afraid of water, so without saying a word, we quickened our pace and ran almost like a gallop towards the lake.
