Chapter 65: Moths to the Fire
But where can the monk still listen, he is now almost in a state of semi-madness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I couldn't persuade him when I saw it, so I hurriedly followed my master. As we got closer, the faint blue spots of light became clearer in the darkness, and at the same time, an unpleasant smell began to appear in the cave. And when we saw the true face of those things, several people were stunned for a moment.
The specks of light in front of him, which glowed like a dream, were not the treasures that the monk said, but balls of light about the size of an adult's head. These orbs of light consist of an outer layer of transparent mucous membrane and a viscous liquid that glows blue. They were strung together like a large string of pearls by a yellowish-green slime, and the strings hung down from the top of the cave.
These are not treasures at all, but rather like the excrement of some kind of animal.
The monk was dumbfounded, he approached the glowing balls of light, and instantly turned from excitement to anger.
"What kind of bullshit is this? What about Lao Tzu's treasure? ā
At this time, the cave was filled with an extremely pungent rancid sour smell, and the sour smell was diffused from those balls of light. The cave has come to an end, but around us, we find nothing but these unidentified spheres. And just as I was looking around, something suddenly landed on my face above my head. I hurriedly looked up, only to realize that the balls of light above my head were dripping slime downwards from time to time.
I felt sick and hurried back.
At this time, the master on the side seemed to have discovered the clue, and his face was very strange. He stared at those balls of light for a long time, and suddenly said, "Two, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Since no treasure has been found, I think it is better to leave first. ā
That's what I thought I was going to do, but how could a monk leave so easily. He told us to wait a little longer, and he began to ponder the balls of light above his head.
Seeing that the monk had no intention of leaving, the master hurriedly said, "Two, you can't wait any longer!" If you don't leave, it's too late! ā
"What's too late?" I didn't understand what he meant.
The master hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the two of you, when we found Lao Tian's corpse, this smell also appeared in the stone room. Moreover, the slime on the ball of light is clearly the same as the one we found on Lao Tian's corpse at that time. The things we see now are most likely the secretions of that kind of monster! ā
I suddenly remembered what Master had said. The heart said badly, and now a catastrophe is coming.
The master raised his head and stared at the top of his head, and said nervously: "Judging from the experience below, these balls of light are very likely to be the bait used by monsters to hunt for food, and people who don't know why will definitely be attracted when they see these balls of light, just like our current situation." And there are so many balls of light here, we must have hit their lair. ā
This is actually the same as "moths to fire". Only now, we're playing the role of moths.
However, before the master's words fell, the monk didn't know what the hell was going on, and suddenly heard him scream. Master and I hurriedly turned around, and saw the monk holding a rope in one hand and pointing to his feet with the other.
"See,!" The monk trembled helplessly.
I looked down and was taken aback. I saw that on the ground, I don't know when there was suddenly an extra corpse!
"What's going on? Where did this corpse come from? ā
The monk pointed to the top of his head, and said that he had just seen the place shining with golden light, and thought that there was some treasure, so he wanted to pull it down with a rope. But who expected, he dragged it, the baby didn't see it, and he actually dragged down a dead corpse!
The sudden appearance of the corpse really caught the three of us off guard. The corpse emitted an unbearable stench, and upon closer inspection, a transparent layer of mucus was revealed on the corpse's surface. This person should have been dragged down by the monk before he could be digested.
To the monk's surprise, when I examined the body, I found that the man's left wrist was tattooed with a very familiar pattern of bamboo king.
I was stunned for a moment, thinking to myself that this is Miss Pan's person? So they've been in this cave too? And the time of this man's death is not more than three hours, which means that they may not have been gone for long.
The monk was a little puzzled, he said that those people were well-equipped, how could they die here inexplicably? I stared around warily, the monster must be around us now, staring at us.
The master didn't want to stay for a moment, so he persuaded us to leave immediately. The monk didn't find the treasure, but now that there was a corpse here, he couldn't sit still. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the monk decided to retreat.
The three of them packed up their things and immediately returned the way they came. I thought there would be trouble on the way, but I didn't expect it to be surprisingly smooth along the way, and we ran until we reached the stalagmite-covered stone forest, where the monk in front of us waved us to stop.
To be honest, the three of us were already exhausted, and now our bodies are almost overdrawn. As soon as we stopped, as soon as my legs became weak, the person knelt on the place, supported the ground with both hands and began to retch.
I hurriedly helped him to calm down, and the master vomited so much that he almost pumped it. I thought to myself, if this continues, sooner or later we will be like this.
"Monk, it's not a way to stay up any longer, we have to find a place to rest for a few hours. Otherwise, even the iron-beaten body can't withstand such a toss. ā
I've been hungry for days on end and now my stomach barely feels anything. The monk also didn't close his eyes for several days, and his eyes were red. I slept for a few hours, but the monk never closed his eyes.
The monk's face was also pale. He breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and nodded, "That's right, but it's not safe here." We need to get out of the cave first. Master, hold on a little longer, and the exit will be there soon. ā
At this time, the master was already exhausted, so I hugged him with the monk and continued to walk back. As far as I can remember, the stone staircase that connects to the exit is not far from the stone forest. I expected to see the exit soon, but this time, the three of them had been walking for nearly half an hour, and the stone staircase still hadn't appeared.
I began to feel that something was wrong, even if we walked slowly, it didn't make sense for half a pillar of incense, we walked for half an hour before we reached the end.
"Monk, are you leading the way wrong?"
Looking at the darkness in front of me, which was still endless, I thought to myself that this girl must have taken the wrong path. The monk immediately said that it was impossible, there was such a road in this cave, and the blind could walk, how could he go wrong.
I was about to reason with him, when I heard the master say weakly: "Two, now is not the time to quarrel. Looking down, I'm afraid we're stuck here, and it's hard to get out again. ā
