Chapter 7 Ghost Worm "Asking for Recommendation and Collection"
We were chased by the ghostly phosphorescent light, and quickly deviated from the original route in the dark misty jungle, but we couldn't care so much about it now. It's just a blind run.
People are actually very conformist creatures, Yuan Meng and I actually don't know anything, it's just that An An is extremely afraid, we were unconsciously infected, and we panicked together.
The ancients were defeated like a mountain, and they were actually frightened by their own people. But if you are calm enough, you will find that things may not be as dangerous as you think.
After running vigorously for a while, I felt as if there was no danger chasing us behind me, so I quietly looked back, only to see a dozen thumb-sized green lights like maggots on tarsal bones, closely following behind our buttocks.
Holy, what's that? I can't get rid of it! I cursed secretly. But when I turned my head, I suddenly found that An An and Yuan Meng, who were originally on the two sides in front of me, disappeared out of thin air, and it didn't take me even a second to turn around, and there was no slowdown under my feet at all, how could they disappear? Could it be because of those weird green lights?
My mind was lightning, and when I thought of something wrong, I braked suddenly, stopped running, and turned around to go back to them, but when I turned around, I saw that a dozen green ghost fires that had jumped our chickens and dogs had suddenly arrived in front of me, and were suspended in the air less than half a meter away from me.
These are living creatures, not ghost fires, but what kind of creatures are these creatures that make An An so fearful as a snake and scorpion. They may seem like glowing insects in size, but what are they? I don't know.
Just as I hesitated for a moment, a dozen or so green lights in front of me suddenly soared in height, and it seemed that this was a harbinger of an attack.
They may seem so weak, but I'm not stupid enough to stay there and let them attack unbridled. After all, they scared An An enough, so these things are definitely not as weak as they seem.
As if I saw a poisonous snake, I slowly retreated, trying not to make a big movement to stimulate them, but no one expected that I took less than two steps back, and suddenly the turf under my feet was empty, and my body was originally leaning back, so I immediately lost my support, and the whole person fell down in an instant.
I didn't even have time to scream when I suddenly fell into a dark cavern at my feet.
Fortunately, the drop was not deep, about more than three meters of drop, and I fell to the ground with a bang.
In the darkness, I felt a few gusts of dark wind swishing around me to flee around, and where the palm of my hand was pressed, something was wriggling and moving, and a foul smell came to my face, I couldn't help it, I hurriedly stood up, didn't care about shaking off the caterpillar that seemed to have crawled on my body, and reached out to find the backpack in a hurry.
Fortunately, the slip pocket next to the backpack was tight, and the flashlight was not lost when I fell, so I hurriedly pulled it out and pressed the switch in a panic.
A bright beam of light appeared in front of me, and before I could see where I was, I saw a woman with a blue face and long hair standing in front of me with a blank expression, this is a dead person! I was only a fist's throw away from her cold grimace.
I was so frightened that I screamed and jumped back, but I was colliding with a ** hard object, I hurriedly turned my head to look, only to see that the body of a woman with only half of her face left was swayed left and right by me, and it seemed that she was about to live.
It was as if I had been stepped on by the tail, and I screamed and rushed into the spur, only to collide with a cold corpse again. My day! What the hell is this place, why are there so many dead bodies!
However, this corpse is very unusual, and it is a zombie that is hugged by a handful of generals! I was not so frightened that I struggled to break free, but my cold arms were as powerful as iron tongs, and I couldn't break free for a while.
Just when I was so frightened that my hair stood on end, a familiar voice suddenly whispered in my ear, "Shhhh ”
It's An An! I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I was relieved and let her drag me behind a swollen and purple-skinned female corpse beside me.
I don't know how many years this female corpse has been dead, but it still smells pungent, I forced my breath and extreme disgust, and I clinged to her tightly with An An, and as soon as I hid it, An An whispered, "Turn off the flashlight." ”
I don't know what she's hiding, but at least it's scarier than the stinking female corpse. I turned off my flashlight, and I was suddenly in darkness where I couldn't see my fingers.
However, after the first few seconds of adaptation, I found that there were actually green spots around me, but unlike the glowing flying insects that drove us away from the cave, these green spots of light were not ghost fires, because the humidity of the cave was very high, and it was difficult to form spontaneous combustion conditions for phosphorus. What are they?
I held my breath and tried to open my eyes wide, only to find that most of those light spots were concentrated on the female corpses on both sides of the cave, and the more the light spots were on the abdomen of the corpse, the denser the light spots became. Those spots were probably caused by the remnants of the chemicals used to dispose of the corpses.
While I was speculating, I wanted to ask An An, but I didn't see Yuan Meng, and at this moment, two green ghost fires suddenly fell from the mouth of the cave where I fell, and they were like ghosts in the night, chasing after us. I can see that my heart is on fire, these little things are too deceitful and too much, and it's not over yet! Do you have to kill us all?
At this moment, five, six, seven, and a dozen green flames the size of a hallux toenail all fell, hovered for a moment, and then flew straight towards the female corpse where we were hiding. They found out!
As soon as I was about to make a move, I was hugged by An An, unable to move, although I was frightened, I could only rely on her. Stand still and remain motionless.
At this time, more than a dozen green ghost fires had already flown in front of them, forming a ball, illuminating the distance of one meter in a radius. I finally heard the wings of these strange bugs vibrating in the air.
I tried to get a good look at them, but the light was too dim to get a rough idea, and the insects looked like flies, but they were bigger, and the green light came from their bellies, similar to fireflies.
These damn flying insects circled us a few times, and they must have noticeably spotted us, but for some reason, the insects that had been persevering with us suddenly seemed to lose interest in us, and flapped their wings and flew away together.
I watched them fly out of the hole in the cave, endured it for half a minute, then I couldn't stand it anymore, I suddenly pushed away the female corpse in front of me, flashed to the side, and took a deep breath, although the air here is still muddy and smelly, but it is much better than lying on the corpse and smelling the corpse.
"Can you turn on the lights now?" I asked quietly.
Before An An could answer me, a light flashed from the stabbing stab, which startled me, but the light immediately shot to the ground, and I saw Yuan Meng walking over with a disgraced face. It turned out that she had been hiding behind a dead body two meters away, because it was so dark here, so I didn't notice it when I was close.
I also turned on the flashlight, and the cave suddenly lit up, and we took pictures back and forth, only to realize that the place where we fell was not a cave, but an underground tunnel. We shone in front and back, dark and deep, and the flashlight had a limited distance, and there was no end in sight.
What kind of place is this, is it the graveyard of the tomb? It doesn't look like it, how can there be such a long cemetery, but it is not a cemetery, and where are so many dead bodies here. It seems that all the questions have to be answered by An An.
An An also knew that we had a lot of doubts to ask her, so she said before we could speak, "You know how dangerous it was just now, it was the devil's worm who chased us. ”
"What's that?" Yuan Meng asked. Actually, it's not just her, even I haven't heard of anything called "devil's worm".
An An whispered, "Look. As he spoke, he took a step back, pushed the female corpse to the ground in the stomach after we had just used it as cover, and kicked it hard, and the belly of the female corpse was kicked and cracked, and a large number of white eggs flowed out of the female corpse's stomach, and I felt goosebumps all over my body.
An An broke off a section of tree roots from the wall of the tunnel, carefully poked them into the eggs, and crushed a few, and suddenly a pungent and spicy gas permeated.
I couldn't help but be taken aback when I saw that the roots of the tree in An An's hands were corroded by the black juice oozing from the crushed insect eggs, and I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose and walked around with Yuan Meng from the side.
Pointing to the eggs on the ground, I asked angrily, "Could these be the eggs of the Devil's Worm?" ”
An An nodded, I couldn't help but be stunned, I felt scared, no wonder she turned around and ran away when she saw it, there was really a right reason. The eggs of these insects are so poisonous! I can't even imagine that if this were to be confronted by a group of adult ghost insects without knowing it, we would probably not know how we would all die.
Those demon worms are really weird, laying eggs in human corpses, but I also understand why the devil worms abandoned us just now, probably because we were too close to the corpse that had already laid eggs, and our bodies were contaminated with the smell of worm eggs, and those ghost worms mistook us for the corpse that had laid eggs, so they abandoned it.
During our escape, we accidentally fell into this mysterious underground tunnel, but we escaped. I just don't know where this underground tunnel leads? It's easy to climb up the tunnel, but there are devil worms on it, and if you climb up, you're committing suicide. But walking along this tunnel is obviously an imprudent adventure, there are so many corpses here, in case there are one or two corpses, in the cramped environment, where can we parry.
But is it possible that we will not be able to survive here until dawn!? I really feel like I'm in a dilemma.
An An took out a flashlight, shone a picture behind him, and said, "This secret passage leads directly to the castle of Chakhtis. It was used by the Countess of Bathory as a secret passage to transport corpses out of the castle. How about it, do you want to take a shortcut! ”
As soon as I heard it, it turned out that these female corpses were ancient corpses that had been dead for more than 400 years, and they were all killed by Elizabeth, who was known as the "Bloody Countess". The poor girl killed by the Countess of Bathory.
The resentment alleviated my fear a lot, since there is only one way, then go, not to mention that there is a guide, so Yuan Meng and I nodded, and followed An An to the depths of the dark passage.
