Chapter 123: Phantom of the Abyss
Han Yu's leg injury is not serious, fortunately, it didn't hurt his muscles and bones, I helped him and the prince to deal with the wound again, he struggled to stand up, his body still fell down, I tried to help him but was pushed away by Han Yu, he is a person who does not admit defeat, there is a kind of pride that is almost stubborn in his bones, and after being with him for a long time, sometimes I feel that he has a different kind of perseverance, sympathy is a pitiful synonym in his dictionary, and the last thing he needs for a strong person is cowardice.
The prince walked up from behind, grabbed Han Yu's hand and helped him walk forward without saying anything.
"I can do it myself." Han Yu glanced at the prince.
"The road ahead is still long, I think you are walking slowly, don't get me wrong, I'm just worried about Du Ruo." The prince didn't bother to argue with Han Yu and answered calmly.
Han Yu argued a few times, it should be the wound on his body that made him too vain, and finally the weak wry smile hand slowly put on the prince's shoulder, and I almost laughed out loud several times when I fell behind me, and the two of them are stubborn people who can have such a harmonious side when they meet together.
"You've killed someone, how do you feel?" Han Yu twisted his head and asked me.
"What can I feel, I have autopsied so many people, if I have to say that there is a difference, at most one will move and one will not move." I followed behind, looked at the blood stains left in Qi Chutong's hands, and replied disapprovingly. "In fact, Qi Chutong shouldn't be considered a person, I just killed a big centipede at best."
"Killing is a felony and a curse to hell." The prince looked back and smiled happily.
"Do you think there's a difference between me and being in hell?" I replied with a faint smile disapprovingly. "Every day when you live, you deal with dead people, and there are still dead people in the underworld, no matter how you look at it, there is not much difference."
I followed the prince and Han Yu behind me and chatted without a word, and walked down the steps that led to somewhere, I don't know how long I walked and looked up to see that the platform that killed Qi Chutong before was already far away from us, and the light in front of the steps gradually dimmed, and the more I went down, the more I laughed at how big the ground was.
"What is this?" Han Yu and the crown prince in front stopped on a platform.
I walked over and saw that it was the same console that controlled the passage switch when we came, but the console in front of me was much larger, and there were countless meters and buttons on it, everything in this abyss was full of sin, I reached out and pressed a button at random, and suddenly I heard the roar of machinery turning in the abyss, and we looked down at the small coffins used to raise clones began to turn.
Han Yu also pressed a few buttons at random, and we slowly understood that this console was used to control the conveyor belt, and it was to send the cultivated clones to the assembly line for slaughter, and I found the switch to turn off the evil that had been going on over and over again, and the transmission belt slowly stopped, and suddenly there was a scream from the passage in the distance.
It was the sound of a woman screaming, and the three of us suddenly looked at the dim front vigilantly, listening to the voice it was not Yun Duruo and Nangong Yi, Han Yu clenched the iron rod in his hand again, and we cautiously walked towards the passage, the passage extended to a stone wall, which was much wetter than other places, and I reached out and touched it and found that there was water dripping slowly on the stone wall.
It must have been very deep from the ground, and the groundwater was gathering here, but I always felt a very fishy smell, and I smelled the hand that had just touched the stone wall even stronger, as if something had left it.
"This ...... This seems to be ......" Han Yu picked up a white thing as thin as a cicada's wings from a sharp edge of the stone wall, didn't dare to be sure for a long time, and then handed it to us beside him.
The prince took it and unfolded the white thing, and I vaguely saw that there were patterns like scales on it, and I buried my head and smelled that the fishy smell was coming from it.
"Snakeskin?!" The prince looked at us in shock.
"I also felt like snakeskin, but I'm not sure." Han Yu said as he jumped his head and looked up in surprise. "Where can a snake live so deep underground?"
I didn't speak for a long time, and involuntarily took a step back, the prince and Han Yu looked at me in surprise, presumably they noticed that there was something wrong with my face, and I dealt with dead people every day and asked myself if I was bold, but I was afraid of snakes Even if the prince was holding a snake skin in his hand, I suddenly had goosebumps all over my body, snakes are the most evil and terrifying things in my heart, don't say that even if I think about it, my legs are a little weak.
"You're afraid of snakes?" Han Yu was stunned and laughed.
I glanced to the side, I didn't even want to touch the snakeskin in the prince's hand, but as soon as my head turned around, the whole person was frozen in place, my hand trembling and I raised it and pointed to the pile of white things under the dim light.
"Yuzi, go take a look...... What is that? ”
I almost stepped back as I spoke, Han Yu should have never seen me with such a panicked expression now and smiled at the wounds on my body, grinning in pain, Han Yu and the prince walked to the place where my fingers and squatted.
Then I couldn't hear Han Yu's smug smile anymore, the two of them squatted there motionless for a long time, and when they stood up, the prince and Han Yu's expressions were more shocked than mine, and in their hands was a complete snake skin, light as transparent snake skin spread out in the hands of the two of them could not be fully displayed, I involuntarily squirmed, this is a full ten meters long.
The prince's face was solemn and with Han Yu's help, the snake skin was completely opened, the two of them standing in the snake skin were not compact at all, and the first thing that came to my mind was that this snake could easily swallow the two of them.
I gasped, this must be the skin of a huge snake to shed, I don't even dare to think about it, with the habit of snakes, they like yin and live in dark and damp caves, but this place is too deep, I remembered the scream we heard just now, and looked at the dark passage in the mountain wall, and my hand shook slightly.
They put the snake skin aside, the ease on their faces was long gone, the prince walked in front, Han Yu limped behind, I stood at the hole in the mountain wall, swallowed my saliva, gritted my teeth, and followed in.
The passage through the mountain wall can only accommodate one person, and we are always vigilant and groping our way in the dim light, and I look around like walking on thin ice with every step I take, and there is only one image in my mind, is the giant serpent coiled in a corner of this gloomy mountain wall, and is now spitting out a letter and quietly approaching us, what kind of head will the giant snake have? Because the snake's skin was not intact when we were outside, we never found the skin that had been shed from the tongue.
The light slowly appeared in front of me, and the wind was surging between the narrow mountain walls, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and I even faintly smelled a smell of blood, and the screams gradually began to increase, and the voices of men and women were full of panic and despair.
When we walked out of the passage, we saw the environment in front of us, which was a large low-lying area naturally formed underground, more than five meters deep from the place where we stood, surrounded by smooth stone walls with no place to climb, the water dripping from the mountain wall gathered here into a winding stream, we could clearly hear the echo of the water dripping in the creek, the stream flowed slowly like a mirror, The water droplets that slowly drip from the mountain wall around them ripple in circles on the mirror surface, and the ripples that spread out in circles collide with each other, and it is easy to be fascinated by staring at these ripples for a long time.
However, the water of the stream was not crystal clear, but a red color exuding a disgusting blood, and we looked around and found several people lying in pools of blood, presumably the screams just now came from the mouths of these people, and the blood that flowed out of the uneven ground meandered into the stream, and there must have been a fight here before we came, but the reason and motive are not clear.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and corpses, which could not be dispersed for a long time, and I could still smell the strong smell in the damp and turbid smell, and the bloodthirsty behemoth that we could imagine by only seeing the snake's skin must be quietly lurking in a corner here, no matter how you look at this low-lying place, it looks like the cave of the giant snake.
We looked into the depths of the low lying, and as far as the eye could see, there were huge naturally formed stone pillars that were intricately distributed into the sky like a labyrinth, and the passage that led us here disappeared at the bottom of our feet, and the prince pointed to the steps opposite in the distance, presumably through this low place if we had to continue to walk deeper.
But we soon discovered that there were traces of artificiality in this place, and there were mirrors inlaid on those huge and towering stone pillars, which invisibly extended the low-lying space infinitely, and the low-lying was as complex as a labyrinth at a glance, and it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the false.
"What's that?" Han Yu frowned and looked at it for a long time, pointing to a sunken shadow on the stone wall below the low-lying area, and asked in surprise.
We followed his gaze, it was clearly an excavated stone cave, the outermost part was closed by a strong iron gate, we stood on it and explored for a long time, and found that there were several more stone caves like this, which were only what we could see, and there were many that we could not see, which were presumably blocked by the stone pillars.
Click!
The quiet low-lying area could have heard the sound of water dripping down the stream of blood, but suddenly we were moved by the sound of a heavy iron gate activating, and we followed the sound of the sound to see those closed iron gates slowly opening.
