CHAPTER XXXII

Dark Worms

Sudden situations happen in an instant, and no one can think of them. Shen Kuo and Liu Ting were even more caught off guard, and they didn't react at all, so they were swept over in a daze.

Regardless of whether the next room was the right route or not, at least Shen Kuo thought that those red liquids couldn't have risen so fast.

But he was wrong, completely wrong. Not only did the surging red liquid swell so fast that the next room was completely filled. There was no gap left for the two of them.

After the powerful suction sucked the two people in, the inconspicuous little door was quickly closed. The liquid ripples in the doorway, but it never thunders. It's like someone is ordering them not to step out of this house.

Unprepared, the two men were trapped in a bloody liquid. The two struggled, but no matter where they swam, they always hit rock-solid walls. That is, this room is completely sealed and there is no way back.

Shen Kuo's eyes were wide open, but he couldn't see anything clearly. This is different from being in the water, no matter how turbid the water is, you can still see it a little more clearly.

But now, Shen Kuo's environment. Even when his eyes widened, there was a blood-red patch around him. He could only see something a meter or two away from him, and it was still blurry.

But fortunately, Liu Ting was by his side, which made him feel a lot more at ease. The moment he was sucked in, Shen Kuo's hand was still holding Liu Ting's hand tightly, and he never let go for a moment. Therefore, both of them were hovering in the red liquid, pondering.

Vaguely in front of him, Shen Kuo could still see the figure of the brick monster, but he couldn't be completely sure. Now, Shen Kuo can't control that weird man, he has to find a way to get out of this ghost place.

In the absence of oxygen, human life cannot last for a few minutes in water, or in liquid. And Shen Kuo must find a way out in these few minutes, otherwise, the two of them will definitely die.

So, where is the way out?

I don't ask what it is. For example, why is there so much red liquid? Why are there brick weirdos? Why can you never get out of the maze of bungalows?

These questions are no longer important to Shen Kuo. Because, in the past few days, there have been too many bizarre incidents he has encountered, and he doesn't care about these or two more.

Suddenly, he felt a feeling of soreness all over his body. It's like someone is pinching his flesh and skin, and it hurts, it hurts. And it's not all over the place, it's all over the body. Shen Kuo felt very uncomfortable, this taste was very uncomfortable.

In an instant, he immediately understood what was going on. It was those little bugs that were doing the trick, they must be eating Shen Kuo's body and sucking Shen Kuo's blood.

I didn't expect his fate to be so bumpy. Even if you don't drown, sooner or later you will be sucked dry by these little bugs.

Shen Kuo's heart was very distressed, not only him, but even Liu Ting was constantly struggling, struggling. It seems that she is much more uncomfortable than Shen Kuo. At least, she was more nervous and scared than Shen Kuo.

However, these little bugs are extremely stubborn. Even if you try your best, you won't be able to get rid of them. What's more, the red liquid is their territory again.

Liu Ting was still struggling, as if she had lost her mind. If this continues, the two of them will only die faster.

Therefore, Shen Kuo grabbed Liu Ting tightly and held her constantly shaking head. Shen Kuo wanted to speak, but in the liquid, he couldn't say anything. Therefore, he stared at Liu Ting and shook his head gently. Then, tell Liu Ting with her eyes that she must not panic at this time. I panicked, and I couldn't think of anything.

Shen Kuo kept signaling with his eyes, and after dozens of seconds, Liu Ting recovered from the panic. At this point, she made a few hand gestures, and she asked Shen Kuo how to leave.

The hand style is very simple, so Shen Kuo understands it. But he didn't answer Liu Ting, or he didn't know how to answer Liu Ting.

He looked around, and finally decided to go in the direction of the brick freak. Since death is assured, why not explore the secrets of the brick monster and maybe find out.

Thinking of this, Shen Kuo waved his hand and took Liu Ting to the vague figure. What awaits them ahead? Shen Kuo didn't know, but he had to be brave enough to give it a try.

Enduring the little pain caused by the little bug, Shen Kuo and Liu Ting finally swam in front of the brick monster.

I didn't think the brick monster was still standing there motionless, its mouth still wide open, and there was still water gushing in its mouth. In other words, the brick monster is still spraying red liquid.

Time was running out, and Shen Kuo could already clearly feel that the air pressure in his body was constantly increasing. In other words, if they can't think of a way to escape, he and Liu Ting will never have the possibility of surviving.

Shen Kuo didn't think about it, he made a few hand gestures to Liu Ting, and swam to the side, regardless of whether Liu Ting understood it or not.

Looking for the memories of the previous room, Shen Kuo finally found the broken dining table. He picked up a table leg and quickly swam it back again.

Until now, Liu Ting hasn't figured out what Shen Kuo is going to do. At this time, she can only pin her hopes on Shen Kuo, hoping to find a way to escape.

Shen Kuo took the table leg and gestured at the brick monster first, and it felt good. So, he waved his hand and motioned for Liu Ting to step back a bit. Liu Ting didn't know why, so she couldn't do it, and swam back two meters before stopping.

This is what Shen Kuo thought of from the beginning, but he really couldn't make up his mind, whether his method was right or not. Now, there is no way out, and there is no time to think of other options.

Shen Kuo didn't hesitate any longer, for him, one more second of time would be one more second.

He lifted the legs of the table high, and with what little strength he had left, rushed towards the brick monster. At this moment, his mind went blank and he didn't think about anything.

The leg of the table pierced deep into the brick monster's mouth, and the stab was deep. What Shen Kuo didn't expect was that the table leg would be so easy to pierce into the brick monster, as if it didn't take much effort.

If you look closely, the table leg not only pierced the brick monster's mouth, but also pierced it. The table leg actually came out of the back of the brick weirdo's head, which Shen Kuo didn't expect at all. He also thought that in the water, his strength increased.

What happened next surprised Shen Kuo and Liu Ting.

The brick freak in front of them suddenly decomposed, turned into red bricks one by one, and fell to the ground with a bang. Immediately after, the whole room began to shake violently, as if it was about to collapse.

Shen Kuo secretly screamed badly, but it was too late at this time. I felt my body sink suddenly, and with a snap, it was like falling on some kind of hard object. The pain was so painful that Shen Kuo complained again and again, and for a while, I was afraid that he would not be able to get up.

'Damn the hell place.' Shen Kuo scolded, and then took a big breath several times. Only then did I feel that the pain in my body had weakened a little.

However, it was very dark in front of me, and I didn't know what the road was. Shen Kuo touched his body, it felt like the ground, cool. But it is different from the ground in the bungalow because the concrete floor in the bungalow is not so cool. Here, it's like a rocky floor.

Shen Kuo didn't think about it that much, the first thing he thought of was Liu Ting. So, he shouted into the darkness: 'Tingting, where are you?' Are you alright?'

After shouting, he immediately realized a problem. I can speak, not only can I speak, but I can breathe normally. That is to say, his own bet, the bet was right, the bet was successful. He and Liu Ting were finally saved.

He hasn't been able to figure out what this place is, but it's better than drowning in the red liquid!

While rejoicing, Shen Kuo began to look at the current environment he was in.

The space is dark, but it's not completely, completely black. In this strange space, it seems that you can see clearly, but you can't seem to see anything.

Shen Kuo pondered in his mind, what kind of place is this? If it's still in the room, it doesn't feel like it! At least, the way he spoke just now was absolutely hollow. It's like in a very spacious place, and the sound is heard far and wide.

In Shen Kuo's heart, he really couldn't figure out what the current situation was.

No way, he stood up and tried to touch his body. Oops, the flashlight is gone. He began to shout continuously: 'Tingting, Tingting, are you there?'

The sound echoed through the black air, but no echo could be heard. Shen Kuo was anxious, he blindly searched in the dark. With that little bit of dispensable light, looking for Liu Ting.

However, he had only taken two steps when he heard a strange sound. There was a bang, like something was breaking. It's like the sound of a broken string. It was very thin and light, but Shen Kuo still heard it. Because the sound comes from under his feet.

He hasn't quite reacted to what is going on. Suddenly, about ten meters on both sides of him, two oil lamps suddenly lit up, illuminating this empty place a little.

The light of the oil lamp is very limited, so to speak, there are only two points, and the rest of the place is still blurry and dark. However, Shen Kuo still took advantage of this little light to find Liu Ting who was lying on the ground not far away.

It looked like she had passed out.

Shen Kuo ran over, gently picked up Liu Ting, and called softly: "Tingting, wake up. Tingting, wake up!' However, in Shen Kuo's constant calling, Liu Ting was still asleep and did not wake up. Like a peaceful bird, lying quietly in Shen Kuo's arms.

I don't know how Liu Ting passed out so badly. Shen Kuo checked Liu Ting and found that there was no external injury on her body. Shen Kuo was secretly frightened, could it be that Liu Ting was injured internally?

The trauma is okay and not terrible. But if it was an internal injury, Shen Kuo would really be helpless.

Just when Shen Kuo was hesitant and anxious in his heart. Suddenly, I heard some unusual noises in the distance, very regular, one after another.

Sparse and sparse, sparse and sparse. The voice came from far and near, as if it was coming in the direction of Shen Kuo. But until now, Shen Kuo didn't know what was hidden in the endless darkness.

But obviously, the sound is not right, very unusual.

Shen Kuo didn't dare to slack off, he picked up Liu Ting and slowly stepped back. What was in the darkness, he didn't know. But judging from this unusual noise, it is not a good thing.

After a while, a large black shadow gradually appeared in the darkness. Under the light of the oil lamp, it is unusually terrifying. And this huge black shadow is still approaching Shen Kuo step by step. At the same time, an unpleasant smell rushed to his face and penetrated into Shen Kuo's nostrils. The irritated Shen Kuo's stomach churned and he almost vomited.

What's that? Shen Kuo secretly screamed in his heart.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer, but at this moment, without Shen Kuo paying attention, Liu Ting suddenly shouted: 'Ah! What's that?' Shen Kuo was unprepared and was taken aback by this shout.

It turns out that there is no coincidence. When Liu Ting woke up, it happened that the black shadow also appeared in the darkness, exposed to the oil light. Liu Ting saw it at the first glance when she opened it, she was not ready, and she was so frightened that the seven souls and six spirits were almost gone.

Coming out of the darkness, or, to be precise, crawling out of something, was more than a man tall and two or three meters long. What it was, Shen Kuo was really hard to say, because he had never encountered this kind of creature.

It looks like some kind of bug, with a milky white body and two long antennae on its head. It's very thin and long, as long as its body.

Let's call it a big worm!

The big worm has no feet, at least from Shen Kuo's point of view, there are no feet, or the existence of feet. But the big worm was wriggling, squirming towards Shen Kuo and the two of them step by step. It's slow, but it seems to be full of murder.

'It's disgusting, what's that?' After Liu Ting got out of Shen Kuo's arms, she didn't stand firm and stumbled back several steps. Her face turned pale, as if she had seen a ghost.

Fortunately, Shen Kuo grabbed her. But Shen Kuo himself was also frightened by the huge worm.

The big worm is still closing in on the two of them, its movements are slow, but its will is very persistent. It seems that Shen Kuo and Liu Ting are its mouths and plates.

The two of them were forced to gradually step out of the oil lamp and into the endless darkness. I don't know what kind of place this is, it seems endless, there is no head and no tail.

At this moment, the place where the big worm was originally its head suddenly cracked, like a mouth. The long tentacles kept shaking, and the whole body stretched and contracted.

Shen Kuo didn't know what that guy wanted to do, but he felt that it would definitely not be a good thing.

Sure enough, just as Shen Kuo stopped to watch, a thick substance suddenly erupted from the open mouth of the big worm, and quickly rushed towards Shen Kuo and the others.

Shen Kuo secretly screamed badly, pulled Liu Ting, who was still stunned, and ran to the side. The thick substance was sprayed onto the place where the two of them had been standing, emitting a fishy smell.

Seeing that the blow missed, the big worm seemed to go crazy, and continued to spray at the two of them. Shen Kuo and Liu Ting had no choice but to jump around, dodging the powerful attack of the big worm.

Even so, there were still one or two drops that splashed on Shen Kuo's legs. Shen Kuo faintly felt that the contaminated part was numb, as if he had lost consciousness. Shen Kuo immediately realized that what the big worm sprayed out was a toxin, a toxin that could paralyze the body.

It's a strange feeling, déjà vu, as if you've met somewhere. But Shen Kuo couldn't figure out what these things were after thinking about it for a long time.

Liu Ting was so tired and out of breath at this time, she was pulled by Shen Kuo weakly and collapsed on the ground. She gasped for breath and suddenly said, 'Cousin, could it be the little bug that sucks blood, and now it's grown up.'

was reminded by Liu Ting like this, Shen Kuo suddenly realized. That's right, isn't this big worm in front of you exactly the same as the blood-sucking bug in the red liquid that spews out of the brick monster's mouth. It's just that the one in front of me is hundreds of times bigger than I don't know it. As Liu Ting said, it has grown up and become stronger.

Well, the toxins ejected by large worms are easy to understand. It first numbs people with toxins, and then absorbs people's blood in Meimei, and has a good meal.

Thinking of this, Shen Kuo couldn't help but take a look at the big worm that was about seven or eight meters away from him. He was thinking that endless dodging of light was not the way to go, and that action had to be taken. Killing or subduing the big worm is the best policy.

But how do you subdue such a big worm?

In a moment's interval, Shen Kuo touched all over his body, but found nothing, let alone a weapon. And what can be used to deal with the big worms?

Liu Ting looked at him and couldn't help asking, 'Cousin, what are you looking for?' Shen Kuo looked at Liu Ting, and he said, "Tingting, what else do you have. It's better to have a weapon, look for it.'

Liu Ting obediently checked her body, but she only found a flashlight. She took the flashlight and said, 'That's all I have left, okay?'

Shen Kuo took the flashlight, and it could still light up when it was turned on. He sighed helplessly and said, 'It's better to have something than nothing, so take it!'

As he spoke, Shen Kuo turned around and stared at the big worm with a stern expression. He stared at it, trying to find out the cracks. For now, he doesn't have any way to deal with the big worm, he can only wait for the opportunity.

The big worm is brewing for the next wave of toxin spraying. Its entire body curled up in a ball, as if it was holding its breath and preparing for a big explosion.

Shen Kuo stared, his eyes not even blinking. He made a bet and decided to give it a go. He knew that dodging didn't solve anything. On the contrary, with the overdraft of physical strength, it will eventually become a fish at the mercy of anything. So, he has to fight back, even if it is a failure.

At this point, the mouth of the big worm suddenly opens wide. That's right, it's about to spew toxins.

At this moment, Shen Kuo threw out the only weapon in his hand without hesitation, a flashlight. And the goal is clear, which is the big worm's open mouth.

At the same time, Shen Kuo also followed suit. And the flashlight almost one after the other, running towards the goal.

Shen Kuo is not sure, but he doesn't have any effective way now. He could only hope that his flashlight would be able to throw it a little more accurately and ruthlessly. It can leave him even a second of leeway.

The flashlight and Shen Kuo arrived at the big worm almost at the same time.

The big worm has just opened its big mouth and the toxin has not yet squirted out. Or, more accurately, when you are about to squirt but don't squirt. Shen Kuo's flashlight flew right into the mouth of the big worm and blocked the throat of the big worm. Ren blocked the venom that had just been prepared.

No one would have imagined that Shen Kuo would throw it so accurately. I'm afraid even Shen Kuo didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. It's just such a coincidence, it's a little unusual.

The big worm was swallowed by a flashlight, and it paused at first, as if it didn't react for a while. After a few moments, the big worm terminal began to get angry. It flicked desperately, trying to get the flashlight out of its mouth.

Although the time is very short, it is more than enough for Shen Kuo. Sometimes, events change in a split second. When you can't think of it, there is a reversal.

At the same time that the flashlight reached the mouth of the big worm, Shen Kuo bounced and flew high. Then he stepped down hard and stomped on the big worm.

At this time, the big worm is doing its best to shake it. After only two flicks, Shen Kuo's feet arrived.

It doesn't matter if you step on it, you almost stepped on the big worm's already soft body. As a result, Shen Kuo stepped on the body of the big worm. The mouth that was already wide open opened even wider.

In the mouth of the big worm, not only was the flashlight spit out, but also the milky white thick venom was also stepped on by Shen Kuo.

Not only these, but behind the milky white thick venom, there are also some black, white, and red things, I don't know what the road is, and they are also followed.

Shen Kuo had never seen it, but he guessed that these things might be the various organs in the stomach of the big worm.

Shen Kuo saw it, although his stomach was already empty, he still wanted to vomit. After a few retching sessions, he settled down a little.

The big worm struggled a few times and finally stopped moving. Shen Kuo left the body of the big worm with peace of mind and walked in the direction of Liu Ting. A hanging heart, this is put down.

Seeing Shen Kuo walking towards her, Liu Ting asked anxiously, "How is it, cousin?"

Shen Kuo's face finally barely showed a little smile, and he said, "It's okay, this guy wasn't very scary, he was trampled to death with one kick." As he spoke, he picked up Liu Ting, who was still sitting on the ground.

'Scared the hell out of me.' Liu Ting patted her chest, a little nervous, and finally calmed down a little.

However, things didn't end as they imagined. On the contrary, the big worm is just the beginning. What they will face next is something they never thought possible.

In front of them, on the walls on both sides, oil lamps stood out and lit again. One, two, three. A few seconds later, more than a dozen oil lamps were lit on each side of the wall at once. Illuminate the originally dark and open space brightly.

Shen Kuo finally saw the environment they were in clearly at this time.

This space is large and has an irregular rectangle. All sides are made of yellow stone and inlaid with oddly shaped copper oil lamps.

Behind the two, at the entrance, is an irregular brick wall. Shen Kuo looked a little familiar, and he immediately remembered. Isn't this the wall that the brick freaks broke through? How did you end up here? What made Shen Kuo even more unexpected was that behind the wall, there was something else.

Under the light of the oil lamp, you can faintly see the familiar small room outside.

What the hell is this place?

Just when Shen Kuo was stunned, Liu Ting suddenly patted him, pointed to the end of the oil lamp and said, "Cousin, look, there seems to be someone over there. How do I feel, feel like Duffy?'

Hearing Du Fei's name, Shen Kuo's eyes immediately widened. Looking over, on the opposite wall of this space, sure enough, there was a person standing. This person is none other than Du Fei who Shen Kuo thinks about day and night.

'Duffy!' Shen Kuo roared, and without thinking about it, he rushed towards Du Fei. He missed Duffy so much that when he saw that Duffy was in danger, he couldn't wait to immediately rush over and hug her tightly so that she would not be hurt in the slightest.

However, he had barely taken two steps on his feet when he heard Duffy on the other side crying out in a heart-rending voice: 'Don't come, don't come!'

Shen Kuo didn't know what was going on, so he had to stop, and his heart was uneasy. He asked, 'For what?' Duffy, what the hell is it for?'

'You come this way, you're going to die, you're going to die.' Duffy choked up, tears welling up in her eyes.

Because he was far away, Shen Kuo didn't know that Du Fei was crying. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Ting on the side. I saw Liu Ting stretch out her finger and point to the front and say, 'Cousin, look, what is that?'

Only then did Shen Kuo notice that the gap between him and Duffy was not empty, but covered with countless white threads. It's like the silk spit out by a super spider, and it's all over the place...... No, no, it can't be described in terms of horizontal and vertical yet. Because these white silk threads are arranged according to the three-dimensional orientation. From top to bottom, almost all of them.

In other words, it's almost impossible to walk through it without much effort. And next to Shen Kuo's leg, there is such a horizontal one.

This kind of scene is a bit like a scene in some secret agent movies. An agent secretly breaks into the enemy's hinterland in order to obtain some information about the enemy. Under the criss-crossing infrared devices, the intelligence was easily stolen.

It's a pity that it's not in the movies.

Shen Kuo looked at it carefully and finally figured it out. On the walls on both sides of the space, there are fifteen oil lamps on each side. Two threads shoot out of each oil lamp, in different directions, high or low, front or back, extending to another oil lamp.

The thread looks thin, but it is very solid. Because Shen Kuo saw that there was a big worm lying on every silk thread. They seem to be asleep, motionless.

And before, the bang that Shen Kuo heard was caused by him breaking the one closest to him. The big sleeping worm fell from the silk thread and woke up. And, launched an attack on Shen Kuo.

In other words, as long as the thread is not broken, the big worms will not wake up and will not pose any danger.

But how is this possible? With such a dense silk net, it is difficult for even a cat to pass through a person. Once all the silk threads are broken, more than a dozen big worms attack together, and with Shen Kuo and Liu Ting, I am afraid it will be difficult to parry. Unless, they have a light machine gun in their hands at this time, that's a different story.

'Brackets, you'd better go, leave me alone!' Duffy said weakly. Her hands and head were drooping, and her long, unkempt hair covered her haggard face. She seemed to use a lot of strength to say this.

Shen Kuo couldn't see Du Fei's situation.

Actually, Duffy is not standing. Her hands were nailed to the wall with two very thick steel nails, as well as her feet. If you look closely, you will see that Duffy's feet are not on the ground, but some distance from the ground. Blood flowed down her palms and feet, slowly devouring Duffy's fragile life.

'No, I'm not leaving, I'm going to get you out.' Shen Kuo said in a firm tone.

Liu Ting also echoed on the side: 'Yes, Feifei, don't worry, we will definitely rescue you.'

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man in the dark, dragging a long, huge axe. He had a terrible smile on his face, a terrible laugh.

The man came to Duffy and stood still, clapped his hands and said, 'What a touch, what a touching!'

'Who are you?' Let Duffy go, or I'll be unkind to you.' Shen Kuoli shouted. (To be continued......)
