Chapter XXVIII
After everyone walked out of the stone chamber, like headless flies, they only retreated one by one, and the strange thing is that since the last time the big stone chamber came out, we have never encountered that kind of stone chamber along the way, and even the road is straight, missing the previous bends.

After walking a short distance, there was a "rustling" sound behind him, and the sound was very strange, it sounded like a brush grinding on the ground. I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't help but look back, and suddenly my face changed greatly, it turned out that a large number of corpse scorpions were chasing after me, the number was unimaginable, the whole ground was paved, and the crawling speed was very fast.
The other three also quickly discovered the abnormality behind them, and although everyone knew it, the degree of fear was definitely comparable. A large number of corpse scorpions are pressing closely, and I, the injured person, are also potential, and I dare to swear, this is the fastest I have ever run, and I really live up to that famous saying; The tiger came without a cripple.
At this time, the field of vision in front of him suddenly widened, the road surface was more than half widened in vain, and a staircase appeared below. Although we have a lot of questions in our minds, now is not the time to think about them, because the corpse scorpion is getting closer and closer to us.
Quickly run over the stairs, as soon as I looked up, I found a huge hole in length and width ten meters away, and there are carvings painted next to it, which are some rare and exotic beasts, the description is very exaggerated, they are all strangely shaped, most of us don't know each other, but I saw the excited look on the face of the marker, I guess he must have seen some catty through these paintings.
After running into the giant hole, the four of us really couldn't hold on, one by one with their hands on their knees panting, they couldn't control the pursuers behind them anymore, and the mood at the moment was different from the forward flip, I would rather be stung to death by a corpse scorpion than be exhausted to death like this.
But things are often unexpected, we have been resting for several minutes, and we have not seen the corpse scorpion crawling in from outside the cave, is it that we run so fast, those beasts can't catch up for a while? But when I think about it, I feel that it is not right, we are clear about the speed of corpse scorpions and water monkeys, and it would be good if we could maintain the same speed as them, how could we surpass them?
We were all curious, so we started to approach the hole again, to see what was going on outside.
When we arrived at the entrance of the cave, we saw countless corpse scorpions wandering outside the stairs, and the water monkeys were also mixed in it, depending on the situation, the corpse scorpions were summoned by the water monkeys, and we didn't know what the beasts used to make the corpse scorpions obey their orders, but they would not hurt them.
The water monkey obviously saw the four of us, but he didn't come, but he just roared there with an unkind face, as if to warn us, as if to threaten us, and the corpse scorpions also stopped at the stairs, and the situation became very strange.
The label was broken in one word: "It seems that the stairs are sprinkled with medicinal powder, so that the corpse scorpion does not dare to take a step, but why don't the water monkeys dare to come over, could it be that it is poison, no matter who gets it, they will die?" ”
The mark is right, when I saw some corpse scorpions being squeezed up the stairs by the latecomers, they immediately turned into puddles of pus, and there was a little green smoke, which looked very terrifying, but the four of us also walked over from there, why were they okay?
It didn't take long for us to be surrounded by corpse scorpions, but we knew that they didn't dare to come, so we weren't so scared, but those corpse scorpions were densely packed, like caterpillars in the same place, and the armor on their bodies rubbed against each other, making a "squeak" sound, and the people who listened to it were hairy.
Lao Cai probably couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Don't worry about anything else, when I see these things, I get goosebumps, let's go to the cave first!" ”
After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that there was no better way, so it had to be like this, maybe there was another way out of the cave.
Entering the cave, we took a closer look, this is a very huge cave, more than the previous large stone room, surprisingly, the height of this cave is more than ten meters away, looking at the situation of this cave, it seems to be naturally formed.
In the center of the cave, we saw a huge stone statue, but the texture is different, it is actually carved from white marble, the statue is seven or eight meters high, and it is about to touch the top of the cave.
The shape of the statue is very peculiar, his face is covered with a flower carving mask, only the outline of his facial features, he can't see the true face, he is wearing a beast robe, and he is holding a box on his chest, standing on one foot, which looks very mysterious.
Seeing such a scene, the four of us were surprised, but we didn't expect that in such a cave, there was still an ancient civilization.
Biaozi immediately said excitedly: "There are thundercloud patterns on the stone carving, and the shape is also very primitive, basically it is a stroke to depict the image of the character, I think the history of this stone carving, at least more than three thousand years, should be the product of the Yin Shang period, this thing is a national treasure!" ”
We took a few steps forward while talking, and when we got closer, I always felt that this stone sculpture revealed an evil spirit, and I looked up, I felt that I was in front of it, it seemed very small, a shock from the bottom of my heart, so that I had the urge to kneel, and almost involuntarily worshipped.
Suddenly, I found that the stone carving moved, and my heart tightened, and I saw the mask of the stone carving fall down, not to look at it as a mask, but at least it weighed hundreds of catties. I quickly dodged away, barely avoiding this catastrophe, and in shock, I looked back at the others, only to find that they were all gone, could it be that they had gone somewhere else while I was distracted?
I couldn't believe it, so I looked around, but in the huge cave, I couldn't see the whereabouts of Biaozi and the others. I panicked in my heart, and was about to shout loudly, but the stone statue moved again, and this time I saw it clearly, and the whole stone statue trembled, as if something was about to come out of the stone statue, and many pieces fell from it.
I was happy in my heart, maybe the sign and the others were behind the stone carving, and the vibration of the stone carving might be the phenomenon that they activated the mechanism.
When I looked up, I saw the huge face of the stone statue, it should be a woman's face, but it looked very hideous, her expressionless face was full of wrinkles, and her mouth showed two long fangs, which were very similar to the zombies in the movie, and the two eyes were very attentive, no matter which direction you looked at her, she felt that she was staring at you, which made me feel uncomfortable.
I was a little surprised when the stone statue shuddered again, and then she crouched down, and her eyes winked at me, and she actually came to life. My scalp is tight, how is this possible? I scolded myself for not being resolute enough, maybe a series of things caused me to hallucinate.
But everything was so real, the statue's right hand was stretched out in front of me in a blink of an eye, and she looked unkind, and her eyes revealed resentment, as if she wanted to catch me and swallow me. I yelled, it doesn't matter if it's a fucking hallucination or it's real, it's important to save my life first, and I accidentally let me see a small room next to the stone statue.
I was trying to hide in, but I was slapped a few times at this time, and the pain made me sober up a lot, and when I looked back, the stone sculpture was still in place, and the mask on her face did not fall to the ground, as if nothing had happened just now. And I'm standing by a huge pool of water, and I'm about to fall into it if I take a step forward, and where is there a little room? I thought to myself, am I really hallucinating?
There was a sudden pain in my arm, which made me retract my mind, only to find that it was Biaozi and Professor Zhang who held me, and Lao Cai on the side was also anxious. I immediately sensed something was wrong and asked them what was going on?
Biaozi scolded: "Fuck, that stone statue is sprinkled with medicinal powder, whoever gets close will be fascinated by the smell of medicine, thus hallucinating, if we didn't pull you, you would definitely drown in this pool." ”
Professor Zhang thought for a moment and said thoughtfully: "No wonder those water monkeys don't dare to come over, I think they must know how powerful they are, so this is their forbidden place." ”
I finally understood what was going on, and I couldn't help but scold the owner of this stone statue for not having a sense of morality, but fortunately they were quick to sign their hands and feet, otherwise I would have taken another step forward, and everything would have been over. When I looked down, I saw that the pool was rectangular and filled with water, no, it should have been filled with blood, and it was very old, so the color of the blood had turned brown, and I couldn't see how deep it was.
Biaozi said no, if there is such a big pool of blood, it must smell fishy, but we didn't smell it, Biaozi wanted to get some water to study, but was stopped by Professor Zhang, he said: "That charming stone statue, since you want to lead people to jump into this pool, it means that the things in the pool are not good, be careful of poison!" ”
I don't think this pool is simple, its existence must have its reason, the strangest thing is that the pool of liquid, after countless years, is still full, as if it has never decreased. And the water is rippling, and it seems that there is a backflow below, so is there an opening under this pool that leads to other places?
After listening to Professor Zhang's words, he didn't dare to risk his life, he looked at this pool carefully, and soon made a discovery, and then said: "Have you noticed that the closer you get to the pool, the more black and bright the cliffs there become, and it seems that the color of these cliffs has a great relationship with this pool." ”
I looked back, and it was indeed as the sign said, the closer I got to the pool, the more black and bright the rocks became, and the lighter the color, which was difficult to spot without looking closely. It occurred to me that all the rocks along the way, including those stone beds and everything, were black, could it be because of this pool?
I thought my discovery would be useful, so I shared my thoughts with others.
Professor Zhang thought for a long time and said: "It seems that these liquids have a corrosive effect, and there is nothing to stop them, the ancients made this pool, perhaps to prevent these liquids from flowing out, otherwise wherever the liquid flows, it will become this black mountain rock." ”
Lao Cai shook his head and said, "You're not entirely right, at least the stone sculpture hasn't been eroded." He pointed to the stone sculpture that was intriguing.
We all looked back, yes, the whole statue is still so white, there is a silt without staining, it seems that white marble can block the corrosion of these liquids, I don't know if the word "corrosion" is correct, to say that those liquids have a corrosive effect, then these black rocks will not be so hard.
