Nothing came of it, so we started talking about what to do next. The fire break in Cassia didn't last long, and most importantly, I found that we were lost. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This must have been the wrong direction when we ran for our lives. No one can say where we are now. The plan of the dungeon is still in Master's hands, and the two of us are not familiar with the situation here, so it is almost inevitable that we will get lost.

Those gold-eating ants are blocking our back path, and we have no choice but to forge ahead. I still have some impressions of the part of the cloister in the plan of the underground palace, but along the way, I found that the terrain here is completely different from the cloister. In other words, we are not walking in the corridor that connects to the Backrooms, but where does this stone path lead now? Neither Cassia nor I have a bottom in our hearts.

The only thing that is certain at the moment is that this stone path has been visited by gold eaters before. The whole stone path was suffocatingly empty, and we couldn't find any replacement for the fire folds. In this case, as long as the fire source is extinguished, then the two of us don't want to get out of here.

Along the way, I followed Cassia with trepidation. At this time, what did Cassia in front of him suddenly kick? I heard something roll all the way and hit the stone wall next to it, and then there was a very crisp sound.

"What the hell?" Cassia was taken aback, and reflexively touched the knife on his waist. I was also frightened, but when I walked over, I saw a pile of white bones lying at Cassia's feet.

All of a sudden, my whole body tensed. It was a near-intact skeleton, with the exception of the skull, which had been accidentally kicked to the wall by Cassia just now, and the rest of the skeleton was still intact. I looked at the hair in my heart, and shouted Cassia to leave quickly. Because I know very well that this must have been left behind by the gold-eating ants.

But he didn't go far before several more corpses appeared in the stone path. The movements of these bones are so strange that I dare not look closely. When I walked around, I roughly counted, and with the previous one, there were seven people dead here. And these people seem to have had an accident not long ago, and the blood stains on some of the bones are obvious.

Judging from the time, they should be the same group of people who came in a few days ago. Unexpectedly, they all died here.

At this time, Cassia seemed to see something greasy from the pile of bones. I advised him to leave, but he ignored him.

"Don't look at it, if you don't leave, we'll end up like this. Take advantage of the fire and get out of this hellish place as soon as possible. ”

Cassia calmed me down for a moment, he counted the bones carefully, frowned, and said to himself, "Something is wrong, why is there one missing?" ”

I said what the hell are you doing, when has this been, do you still have the heart to observe this?

Cassia asked me rhetorically, "Don't you think it's weird?" There were eight of them, but now there are only seven skulls here, so where did that one go? Could it be that the man found some kind of life-saving way and escaped from here? ”

He looked at the bones on the ground and continued, "And, did you find it? The appearance of these bones is also very problematic. If it was the gold-eating ants who were chasing them at that time, then under normal circumstances, these bones would have appeared one after another, rather than in one place en masse, as is the case now. Because each of them must have different physique and endurance level, the weaker the physique, the sooner he suffers, and his bones should appear in the front position. And if the physique is better, his bones should appear in the back position, even if other interference factors are added, then there will be at least some distance between their bones. But now, most of these bones are concentrated in one place, and it is clear that what happened at the time was more complicated than we thought. ”

I roughly understood what Cassia meant, so I asked him, "What do you think happened here?" ”

Cassia speculated: "The cause of death of these people will never be so simple. It is very likely that in the process of fleeing for their lives, they suddenly received some kind of fatal attack, causing them to lose the ability to resist in an instant and fall here en masse. After that, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they were fed by the gold-eating ants that caught up. ”

Cassia's speculation seems plausible, but what does that deadly attack mean? Could it have something to do with the disappearing eighth person?

"What happened here? No one knows now. But since this place is infested with gold-eating ants, the possibility of a mechanism is basically ruled out. If the mechanism is excluded, then the only thing left is the human factor. "But as for whether it was related to the eighth person, Cassia speculated that it was unlikely, otherwise it would not have been an accident, but a deliberate murder for a long time.

But if it's not the eighth person, then the only explanation left is that in addition to us and the group of people who died here, there must have been another group of people who also entered the dungeon, and they entered the dungeon before us.

I'm not very interested in any of this, and the only thing I'm concerned about at the moment is whether the eighth person really found a way to save his life and escaped alive, as Cassia had speculated? If so, what exactly is that approach?

However, just as a glimmer of hope rose in my heart, Cassia, who was walking in front, suddenly seemed to have discovered something and hurriedly ran over. I could faintly see behind me, a blurred black figure, lying less than ten paces away from me.

Suddenly, I felt a "chuckle" in my heart, and my mood was suddenly lost to the extreme. The heart said that the eighth person also died here. The glimmer of hope in my heart was extinguished in an instant.

As it turned out, Cassia's assumptions about the eighth man were wrong. Here, all the luck mentality, in the end, will only make you feel more desperate. However, contrary to my negative attitude, Cassia was extremely excited when he saw the corpse, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

I wondered in my heart, looked down, and suddenly the whole person was stunned.

I never imagined that this would be a well-preserved corpse! It's incredible that even the burden on the corpse hasn't been ruined by the gold-devouring ants.

Looking at the corpse that remained intact at my feet, I was a little excited and speechless for a while. Because in my subconscious, since this eighth corpse can be preserved intact, it means that there must be some way to avoid the teeth of the gold eater ants.

The man's death was horrible at the moment, and he was dressed very similarly to the guards. During the examination of the corpse, the first thing I noticed was the two steel axes inserted in the back of the corpse, one of which pierced the heart directly from the back, which was the direct cause of the person's death. This is the first time I've seen this type of steel axe, and the length of the steel axle is obviously much shorter than that of a general-purpose steel axe. Judging by their length, these steel arrowheads should have been shot out of some kind of hidden weapon crossbow.

In addition to the cause of his death, Cassia and I also noticed that he was coated with a layer that resembled plaster powder. This thing makes me feel very strange, why does this person put this kind of thing on his body?

A thought popped into my head. Could it be that this is what those gold eaters scruple about? I suddenly remembered what the guards had said.

Cassia didn't believe it at first, after all, how could an emperor-level existence like the Gold Devouring Ant be afraid of something as common as gypsum powder? But after he carefully examined the body and found no other possibilities, he had to admit this fact. But as for why are gold-eating ants afraid of this gypsum powder? We still don't know.

In addition, Cassia also turned out a few fire folds from the burden of the corpse, which solved our urgent need. And just as I was trying to identify the person's appearance, there was a sudden squirming movement in the dark stone passage behind me. The fire fold shone over, and I saw that the overwhelming gold-devouring ant colony in the stone road was pressed up like quicksand, and a large area of black pressure was pressed.

"It's really a grievance. Go, go, they're coming! ”

Before I could see what the eighth man looked like, Cassia picked up his burden and dragged me forward. It was almost pitch black, and I didn't dare look back. And because Cassia Ming's injuries hadn't healed yet, those Gold Eaters were moving much faster than us. We didn't have to go far before they started falling from the top of the stone path to our heads.

We ran until we reached the end of the stone path, and a half-open stone gate appeared in front of us. I was overjoyed, thinking that the exit was coming, so I let Cassia hold on. But before the words could be shouted, suddenly my feet were empty, and before I could realize what was going on, the person had already begun to fall uncontrollably. Cassia didn't have time to pull me from behind, and he fell down.

This almost knocked me unconscious, and I ran too fast before I fell, and when I got up from the ground, I felt like the bones all over my body were scattered, and I almost had half a life left.

What happened to Cassia somehow, and the absolutely pitch-black space was filled with echoes of his coughing. I looked for the cough and asked him how he was. Are there any injuries? Cassia smiled bitterly, then took out a fire breaker from his bosom, blew it up and threw it on the ground.

"Watch out for the top of your head, those brutes might chase after you."

Cassia pointed overhead, and I looked up to see an irregular pitch-black hole about a man above us. That's when I realized what had just happened. And those gold-eating ants, for some reason, haven't chased them down yet.

I breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said to myself, if they really chased down, Cassia and I would not even be able to escape.

"Looks like it's safe here for the time being, are you hurt?" I saw that Cassia Ming's face was wrong, so I had to go over and take a look.

Who knew that Cassia hurriedly waved my hand and told me to stand still. I couldn't understand what he meant, so he pointed to the stone walls on both sides, and half-jokingly said, "Xiaoshan, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out this time." ”
