Chapter 45: Late Night (24)
"Ah, my clothes ......"
Shen Luotian closed his eyes in pain, and couldn't bear to look at the holes in his clothes: "My dress is a limited edition." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
A helpless sigh came through my head.
Can't even complain?
He looked down at the vanishing wound in his heart and whispered, "You're a little too strict." ”
The hard ground beneath his feet had become soft and muddy, and the water below had seeped out and brought out many fine scales.
The scales, large and small, have been corroded by the sewage, shining with broken light, and connected together.
The gushing water washed the dirt over the edge of the cavern, and soon the area was flooded into a pond.
By this time, the trembling that had always been like an earthquake had subsided, and was replaced by some kind of rhythmic undulation.
It's like some behemoth is waking up from its slumber.
He even felt like he heard the long, powerful breath of something in the underground water.
After the overflow, the cracks in the ground began to smoke again.
Wisps of black smoke were wrapped in tiny bubbles under the water, rising densely, breaking through the water and regrouping again, transforming into long, thin claws.
Shen Luotian squatted on a black boulder washed out by water, and his feet were full of sewage comparable to strong acid, like an unlucky person who was isolated and helpless in the flood.
He glanced down at the height of the stone and the speed at which the water level was rising, and estimated that he would be safe for a short time, and began to observe the black claws with great interest.
They don't look like human hands, but more like bird claws, if I had to say it.
These "bird claws" of unknown breed were confused for a moment when they first broke through the water. Then he quickly found his task - to grab something from the ground and throw it into the largest pit in the middle.
These claws are so numerous that they are so dense that they are barely visible, and they continue to increase.
And~~ will split!
Shen Luotian casually picked up a stone and threw it at one of his paws.
He watched as the shattered claw split into two clouds of smoke, flew on its own, reformed into two new claws, and continued to grab something on the ground and throw it into the pit.
This thing is still ~~ going to split! When was the new product developed? I've never heard of it before.
Wait, when was that before?
They threw things as fast as a demolition team, and in an instant, a layer of land was hung up.
The sound of contented swallowing was constantly heard underwater. It wasn't loud, but it was audible that it was one, or several large animals.
This thing still needs to be eaten!
Even eat mud, but he is not a picky eater, so he is easy to feed.
Shen Luotian pressed one hand on the stone under his feet, leaned forward, and cautiously stretched out his hand to a claw made of smoke.
The stagnant water was almost half a meter deep at this time, and except for the occasional throwing ~ gravel on the surface of the water, there was almost no trace of the land that once existed below.
The claws made of smoke shatter at the touch of a touch, split into several pieces and split into separate pieces, persistently repeating the previous movements.
They will quickly regroup when they are blown away by the wind, and it is almost futile to try to get rid of them completely. For he soon gave up his foolish behavior and looked at something else.
In the sewage beneath the mist, an eye that did not look like a human was staring at him firmly.
The so-called one eye is actually an infinite number of identical eyes, blinking at the same frequency, and it looks more like an eye that exists somewhere projecting countless reflections~ from it.
When they noticed that someone was observing it, they immediately looked away and looked at him in unison.
Compared to the claws of birds dancing in the pitch black, these eyes that are silent but staring at people are a little more terrifying.
When I saw this numb and indifferent eye, without any mood swings. Shen Luotian always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
I always feel that the owner of this eye is a person I know. Seeing it appear in this place, he didn't even feel surprised in his heart, but gave birth to a little emotion that should have been like this.
But about this old acquaintance, it is certainly not a good memory.
He raised his hand and touched his shoulder blade, which was aching, as if he had seen a scene from a long time ago in that eye.
A pitch-black and thin bird claw grabbed from the back from top to bottom, taking away a large ~ piece of flesh and blood, and even the bones were pierced together. Nearly tore one of his arms off. Together with the long sword in his hand.
The sharp, curved nails were clutched at the point where they were in pain, and he could even clearly feel the slightest pain when the nails entered his body in his memory.
The hook-like nails still made him suffer a lot at the time, and even after all these years, the original wound still occasionally hurts.
The anger quickly piled up with the pain in his back, and soon reached the point where he didn't vomit or feel unhappy.
Countless eyes flickered like stars, dense and neat to the point of making people sick to their stomachs. The black claws waving around had already shaved off the ground by thirty centimeters, but they were still working diligently, constantly throwing things into the pit.
He clenched his fists, and when he released it again, ~ a black long sword appeared in his hand.
"You still have the audacity to appear in front of me."
He smiled at the flaring eyes in the water, and then shouted, "Crawl back under your ground and shrink!" The ground is not a place where you are qualified to stay! ”
As the tip of the sword touched the water, a series of explosions erupted in the murky water.
It's like there are countless mine bombs hidden under the water. From where the sword touched, a series of explosions sent splashes of water, tearing the black smoke above and below the water to pieces.
The slow swallowing sound under the water suddenly stopped, followed by an angry roar.
It was so loud that it sounded like a bell ringing in your ear. It directly overwhelmed the sound of the dense splash exploding, which shook his head with a roar.
The vision in front of him was blurred, there was a sharp chirp in his ears, and his stomach was churning.
He clenched the sword in his hand, felt a biting chill from the hilt, and struggled to suppress the anger surging in his heart.
He's deliberately you off, don't fall for it.
Someone whispered a warning in his ear.
The boulder under his feet swayed from side to side, making a very small cracking sound from the inside.
The angry roar of the interrupted eating continued for a long time, until the black boulder with the words written in the distance shook a few times, and the thing underground stopped roaring.
He crouched on the stone and retched twice, and the dizziness subsided a little.
The human body is so fragile!
This is the thought that comes to mind when he touches ~ the nosebleed that comes out.
"Who is it?"
Sharp questions came from underground, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women. It's obviously not the same thing as the one just called, but it's like a eunuch who pinched his throat and pretended to be in a costume drama.
"Who is not long-sighted, and dares to disturb our meal!"
A huge head suddenly protruded from the gushing water, turning back and forth in search of something.
It's actually a dragon head!
Shen Luotian looked up at the tall faucet in the water, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It turns out that dragons can still grow so ...... Ugly!
This dragon head does not have the majesty and sacredness of the dragon in the traditional sense, but has a deep malice towards obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It had no eyes, and each of its sockets had a floating ghost fire. One blue and one green, still a mandarin duck eye.
The ghostly fire filled with yin reflected the empty space beneath its skull, and from a distance it looked like a huge lantern.
There is only a crooked horn on the top of the head, hanging on the right side. On the left is a small sharp cylinder.
It seems that someone once used great force to cut off the horn diagonally from the bottom to the top, leaving such a trace.
In the mouth, a jet-black fang, flickering with a dark green glow, seemed to be coated with a highly toxic liquid.
Someone probably broke the other tooth as well, leaving only a rotting black hole in its mouth.
Below is its thick~long neck, and the part that exposes the ground is at least five meters, and the part hidden in the hole below is not known how long.
The scales on its neck were mostly mutilated, and it was as if it had walked through a pool of sulfuric acid, and black holes exposed the carrion on its body to the air.
The thing seemed to be unaffected by the underground sewage, and at this time it was covered with water droplets, which splashed around as it turned its head, and smashed into a shallow pit when it fell to the ground. But I don't know what could hurt its body like this in the first place.
"Idiot! Look, he's right down to you! ”
The shrill voice came from the ground again, sounding a little angry: "Can't you find anyone without eyes?" I really don't know what's the use of keeping you blind worm! ”
The dragon head opened its mouth and roared, and lowered its head slowly.
"Left, left! Where do you look? Hey, it's not over there, it's over! ”
The voice of the underground directing its movements became even more angry: "You blind! Deaf and blind! I can't fight, and I eat so much! Moves slower than a turtle! What's the use of keeping you, it's stinking of your meat when it's stewed! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! ”
It shouted three stupid times in a row, each sharper and more piercing, and it didn't make the dragon head that was exposed to the ground move faster, but provoked the other party to let out another roar.
The thing opened its mouth and roared, spitting out bad breath that had been brewing for an unknown number of years.
It was a taste that could not be described in words, and it could almost be sent directly as a biological weapon. It can make people recall all the things they have encountered in their lives in the moment they smell it, and all the things that are related to decay and deterioration.
Shen Luotian was so smoked by it that he almost turned his back on it, and with difficulty he raised his hand and drew a barrier with his long sword, blocking the stench in front of him.
The invisible gas hit the barrier, condensing into a yellow-green mist.
He looked up with great difficulty, looking up at the dragon's head with its mouth wide open.
The thing had finally found its place under the guidance of the sound of the underground, and was roaring at the tiny humans below, spitting out streams of sewage.
The water made a loud noise as it hit the ground, and the ground continued to collapse. In just a few moments, he could barely find a place to put his feet.
The boulder he was stepping on shattered into three pieces, and he forcibly tied them together with blood threads, barely creating a place that could collapse at any moment.
The voices from the ground are still babbling, directing the dragon's head to attack the enemy.
I don't know what the communication between them is. The one who called below did not give a correct instruction from beginning to end; The water sprayed on it never acted according to the instructions, and always came to their liking.
This kind of cooperation, which has no tacit understanding at all, has caused great damage to the surrounding ground. Although it has never been able to inflict precision strikes on enemies on the ground, this kind of large-area full-field attack has some effect.
Have I ever dealt with such a stupid thing before? Almost killed by it?
The long sword in Shen Luotian's hand turned into a huge black umbrella, blocking the yellow rain falling on his head.
He cowered under the umbrella, and involuntarily began to wonder if he was really as powerful as everyone else and other things boasted about in his previous life.
There's moisture in this!
He gently turned the umbrella in his hand, and then a hurricane shook out, rolling up the water droplets falling in the sky without dropping, and smashed them all on the dragon's head.
The dragon's head was split and its face poured down, and the water in its ears smashed into a daze, howling and spitting out a jet of water into the sky.
"He's not up there! You idiot! ”
The sound from the ground was mixed with the sound of water in the sky, and it was almost impossible to hear.
Probably mistaken for thinking that the enemy was coming from overhead, the head on the ground did not listen to persuasion at all, and constantly roared towards the sky, spewing ~ water columns.
A thin layer of gray mist drifting through the hazy sky was dispelled for a moment by its tossing.
In Shen Luotian's memory, he had been to this place in a dream when he was young, and the number of times was not small.
When he was young, he was often infested with something, and there were almost no sweet dreams until he discovered the place.
But this is the first time that such an empty situation has occurred.
At first, a voice was heard in a nightmare of being chased. Calling his name and pointing him in the direction he was hiding eventually led him to a secluded path.
After dodging the strange pursuers behind him, he followed the path and explored on his own, and finally arrived at this place.
Although the silence was gloomy and there was an eerie and ominous aura everywhere, there was actually no danger.
Only once he came, he remembered the place.
In the nightmares that followed, he would always find the path leading to this place in an inexplicable location, and then find it with ease.
The nightmare stopped after Ye Baiyu came to the house, and he was finally able to sleep peacefully.
But the dreams about this place did not stop.
For a while, as soon as you fall asleep, even if you don't see the road, your consciousness will be involuntarily pulled under this gloomy sky.
He often sat on a boulder on the bank of the river and watched the quiet flow of the river, and the pedestrians with different expressions hurrying by.
This went on for a long time.
Gradually, he is no longer just sitting on a stone and watching the water and people.
He began to hear the voices around him.
The voice that called him here at the beginning has been tempting him to stay in this "place that truly belongs to him" from the very beginning, never to return to reality.
His sleep time has been extended little by little, and when his family found out, he could sleep more than 20 hours a day.
The person who finally solved this matter was still Ye Baiyu.
He didn't know exactly what Master had done. I just remember that after being fed unpalatable decoction for more than a month, I never dreamed of this place again.
Although he occasionally heard the voice calling him here in other dreams, he never found the path again.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the boulder with the words engraved in the distance.
If memory serves, I was sitting on that rock in a daze in my dream.
No matter how earth-shattering the commotion is, except for the previous one, this towering boulder has never moved.
The bright red handwriting is like a sign, although it does not move, it looks vibrant, as if the only life that exists in this gloomy and obscure place, and people can't help but be attracted by it.
He looked at the boulder from afar, and a few images flashed through his mind again.
It was still the angle from which he stood on a boulder, looking down condescendingly at the river.
Beneath the boulders, there is no river flowing quietly and the same quiet and silent crowd hurrying forward.
The raging river, the crowds of people fleeing and crying for the ground, the panicked birds constantly passing through the sky, and the ground shook as violently as it does now.
In front of him stood a strange monster with an angry roar.
It also has a dragon head.
Recalling this, he finally turned his gaze and glanced at the dragon head in front of him.
Exactly the same dragon head, exactly the same movements, exactly the same roar.
"This guy, if I'm not mistaken...... What a hassle! ”
He sighed, holding up his umbrella to block the jet of water that had finally found its place and spewed at him.
I apologize for doubting your strength.
He thought to himself, bowing his head at the pitch-black boulder.
