Chapter 24: Unknown Creatures in the Dark

I fell into an abyss-like trap and ended up in a web of trees formed by the roots of a banyan tree, and before I could rejoice, an unknown creature with a keen sense of hearing approached me in the darkness, and I was lucky enough to escape two attacks. In order to save his life, his body stiffened and did not dare to move and lay on the tree web. I have been forced into a dead end by fate, and then I felt something slowly approaching behind me, and my heart was suddenly completely cold, and the glimmer of hope for survival, which had been drifting away, was swallowed up by the devil.

Cold sweat spread all over my body, but I could only wait in the unknown darkness, waiting for the unknown creature to approach and usher in an unknown way of death. At some point, a cold wind began to rise in the abyss, wrapping around my body like a poisonous tongue, and my fingers holding the dead vines of the tree began to numb, and I thought to myself: I don't have to wait for the unknown creature to attack again, I may fall into the abyss underground. There is no hope of life, only the choice of death, and what could be more tragic than this!

The unknown creature behind me finally approached me, grabbed my ankle, and from its claws I felt a thick and damp liquid, and the cold slid towards the base of my thigh like a boa constrictor without temperature, and I couldn't hold back any longer, and directly raised my other foot and kicked at the unknown creature that was grabbing me. As a result, the violent action caused me to fall from the tree web, and the unknown creature that grabbed my ankle still did not let go, and fell with me into the abyss underground, and I thought to myself: I pulled a cushion on my back when I was dying, and it was worth it.

The cold wind passed by my ears, and I thought I would fall into the endless abyss, but there was a tree net underneath the tree web, and a moment later, I fell again above the tree web. This time, I was familiar with the tree net, and immediately secretly groped for a place with dense roots to sit up, and quickly opened the backpack behind me, and took out the fire fold from inside.

The two wolf-eye flashlights prepared by the fifth master, one is in my place, and the other is in the fat man's hand, my wolf-eye flashlight was thrown away when I fell into the trap just now, and the fat man's one should be gone.

But fortunately, there are candles and fire folds as a backup fire source.

The moment I lit the fire, I was so silent by the scene in front of me that I couldn't speak, the boundless spider web-like tree webs, covering the sky and the sun in the dark abyss, I sat on the tree web, like a lonely boat floating on the boundless sea, the vision made me think of no words to describe, if I had to express it, I could only barely describe it with vastness.

Endless tree webs, horizontal, vertical, hanging, and intertwined, form a criss-cross underground spider web, extending infinitely in all directions into the darkness in the distance. And I, now a headless fly trapped in a spider's web, has no way forward.

I tried to look down and suddenly saw something clutching my ankle, and then I remembered the unidentified creature that had just fallen with me. Because the scene in front of me was so shocking, I completely ignored its existence. I hurriedly stretched the fire fold to my feet, only to see a human hand, which made me gasp. I trembled and moved the fire fold in my hand forward, and I saw a face covered in blood, like a corpse at the scene of a car accident.

Seeing this terrifying sight in the dark, I couldn't help but shout countless times in my heart, "My God, there are ghosts!" "I wonder if it could be the rumored bloody corpse, right? Suddenly, I felt a chilly cold spread from my ankles, and the roots of my thighs quickly felt numb, and I couldn't help but say: It's over, this time it's really hopeless!

The corpse poison of the bloody corpse is incurable, and if it is sticked, it will definitely die, and the skin is as hot and unbearable as being bitten by thousands of ants

I suddenly felt that something was wrong, my ankles were not hot except for the cold feeling, I suddenly realized that my ankles felt cold because of the cold wind, and the numbness in my thighs was purely due to holding a position for a long time. So, I immediately used a fire fold to carefully examine the person who was dragging my ankle. Only then did I realize that he was not a zombie, but a living man with a face covered in blood, and a living person I knew very well, my dearest fat comrade. It's just that he was covered in blood, and he was so cautious in the dark that I didn't recognize him for a while.

It is possible that the fat man hit a large tree root and broke his head when he fell, so he was covered in blood. I guess he was dying when he was on the tree web, and he crawled to my side with the last of his strength, and I only paid attention to the ahead, and mistook an unknown creature for him, and didn't pay attention to the fat man crawling behind me. Now that I think about it, when the fat man grabbed my ankle, he was kicked hard by me, and then he fell down with me, and he must have been injured.

I shook the fat man's arm that grabbed my ankle, he didn't react at all like a dead man, I slowly broke his fingers, took out my water-soaked underwear from the backpack, carefully wiped the blood on the fat man's face, I found that on his forehead, a large hole half a heel long finger was opened, the flesh was turned over, it had to be stitched, or the wound would not heal, it would continue to bleed, and it would be fatal.

I first took out a candle from the backpack, lit it and sprinkled a few candle tears on the root of the tree next to me, and then put the candle on it, and then I turned out a sewing kit from the bottom of the backpack, put the needle on the fire and roasted it to sterilize, but there was no disinfectant water, the silk thread could not be sterilized, and finally I was forced to sweat, there was really no way, I remembered an old saying: saliva sterilizes. I don't know if this method will work, but at this time the dead horse will be used as a live horse doctor, if the wound on the fat man's head is left alone, it will really be hopeless.

I gritted my teeth and endured the pain, and I toasted my hands on the candle, and I smelled the smell of burnt pig hair. After the needlework was finished, I quickly started with the faint candle flame, and while the fat man was unconscious, I did my best to complete the suturing operation, if he woke up, without anesthetic, he would have to die of pain.

The suture surgery was going smoothly and was about to come to an end, when I felt something strange around me, and I said, "I can't stop for a moment!" I didn't stop moving, and I glanced around with my eyes, and something seemed to shake in the darkness in the distance, like a branch of a tree that the wind blows. But the cold wind in the underground does not make such a big movement, and I know that something is wrong, and the ghosts hiding in the darkness of the underground are about to appear.

I finally finished stitching up the wound in the sweat and rain, and I finally saw the ghosts emerging from the endless darkness. I saw that tens of thousands of monsters like black spiders climbing on spider webs were slowly approaching us in an encirclement on the tree web. In the flickering candle flames, I saw black fur all over the monkey-like body, with a black head on top, with particularly striking pointed ears, a pointed mouth, and a pointed nose, like a bat, and I did not see their eyes, a black hairy face without eyes, what could be more terrifying in the dark!

It was like a combination of a black-haired monkey and a black-haired bat, slowly approaching us in groups, closer and closer to me, closer and closer, so close that I could see the three forked claws on their two front legs, firmly grasping the roots of the tree, and constantly moving forward.

It is also a realm where there is no escape, and since falling into this dark abyss, the nerves of the tense nerves have not relaxed for a moment. I took out a bundle of rope from my backpack, wrapped the unconscious fat man firmly around my back, and then pulled the backpack and put it on my chest.

Countless monsters covered with black hair, monkeys and cats are not like cats, and we are surrounded by watery clusters, and the encirclement is constantly shrinking and shrinking. The existential question was in front of me, and I couldn't think of a solution. The unknown creature that sneaked up on me just now must be this little monster with black hair, looking at their long pointed ears, you can know how sensitive their hearing is, so the eyes that are useless in the dark have degenerated and finally disappeared. This also shows that they have lived in this dark abyss for a very long time, far away to an era that I don't know.

When I arrived at someone's one-third of an acre of land, it seemed that it would not work without leaving some gifts, but I really had nothing to leave behind. I remember that there were two sausages in the backpack, and if I gave them them, let them be accommodating and let us live.

If the heavens block your doors and windows, then you chisel the wall open, this is the fat man's concept of solving things, it seems that I am really going to smash the wall today.

I checked the rope tied to my body, then took off my coat and put it on the fat man's head, then I put out the candle and put it in my pocket, closed my eyes, and silently recited in my heart, "Amitabha, Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva, save all beings in fire and water" I read more and more quietly, and finally it was similar to the buzzing of mosquitoes, but my legs at this time were infused with all the strength, and at the same time as I felt something rush up from the tree web and rush towards me, I suddenly shouted, and my legs jumped high above the tree web, and then fall downward.

The tree net was broken by my voice, and countless unsuspecting little eyeless monsters with black hair fell with me into the abyss below, and the terrible screams were endless, and I was used to falling in the dark, and I only hoped that I would soon be covered by the tree net again.

However, this time I miscalculated. On the way to fall, there were constantly broken branches of trees and scratched my falling body, but none of the tree nets could withstand the force of my impact, we broke one tree net after another, and fell infinitely, and my heart also fell to the bottom.
