Chapter 54: Octoplaw

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

I was taken aback by this sudden change, and when his big hands grabbed my wrists, a cold and piercing sensation spread throughout my body in an instant. I can't help but wonder if this guy is alive or dead.

I couldn't do that much, I stood up and pulled my legs and tried to run, but I found that I couldn't stand up at all, and the guy sat there like a rock, as always, motionless, but the mouth under the golden mask grew bigger and bigger.

I pressed my waist and abdomen, stepped on his chest with my own feet, and pushed my body back to break free, but it didn't have any effect.

"Bu Jin!" I exclaimed, though I knew it seemed cowardly, but I really didn't know who else could help me when I was in such a horrible and helpless situation.

I broke free and looked over the man's shoulder as best I could over to Bu Jin. However, at that moment, my heart suddenly went cold.

I saw Bu Jin standing there steadily, her beautiful face did not have any waves, she just looked at me faintly, as if looking at someone who had nothing to do with her.

At that moment, it was as if everything in the world had stopped turning. I never felt like Bu Jin, but, I don't know why, in that moment, I felt heartache and helplessness.

My father's words came to my ears again - you have to be careful of her, she is not human.

It's not a human, it's not a ghost, so what is she? Did she really have human emotions?

However, I didn't have time to think about it, and in the moment of life and death, even if I thought about it too much, my body still kept resisting according to instinct.

I kept my feet on the man's chest, and I tried my best to lean back, and I fell backwards, and the man's body was lifted up at once. At that moment, I suddenly realized that the man's body was so heavy, it was like a huge stone, pressing down on my body, and I had to put my knees against his chest to prevent him from coming close to my body.

And, look at it, that guy is constantly closing in on me.

"Bu Jin! Save me! I shouted again in despair.

This time, I heard Bu Jin's response, but the voice was so cold.

"I said so, take off his mask."

"Fuck you!" For the first time, I scolded Bu Jin and said, "That mask can't be taken off at all!" ”

Bu Jin didn't seem to understand what I was saying at all, and she still stubbornly said, "Fan Peixi, take off his mask." ”

I had no choice but to keep trying, I had been trying to break free from the man, but I hadn't really tried to take off the man's mask. Since my wrist was being grabbed by the man, I could try to pull the mask off with my fingers.

It's just that it doesn't matter if I touch it, and my whole body panics all of a sudden, because I haven't touched the edge of the mask at all. It was as if the mask was not on the man's face at all, but on the man's face.

What creeps me even more out is that when the man found me groping for the edge of the mask, he seemed to smile even more, he grew his mouth and made a "bang-bang-bang" sound in his throat, I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but then I realized that he wasn't laughing, but spitting out.

Suddenly, a spider-like dark brown octopus-sized bug the size of a lighter crawled out of the man's mouth, and I was so surprised that I screamed and began to use all my strength to break free, and even my wrist was already cracking and bleeding outward from the exertion, but no matter how hard I tried, the man's big hands were like a huge pair of pincers clasping my wrist and not moving.

What made my scalp tingle even more was that there was not only one such bug crawling out of the man's mouth, but when the first bug crawled out of it, his mouth grew into a large "O" shape, and countless dark brown octopus worms swarmed out of his mouth.

The bugs crawled out of the man's mouth, down the man's cheeks, neck, and began to crawl towards my arms.

The bug's two front paws were unusually powerful, and they crawled up my body, neck, face, and began to try to pry my mouth open, my eyes, trying to drill into my body.

I shut my mouth and made a "whine" sound. But Bu Jin still stood there, motionless.

When the first bug got into my mouth, I started to despair, I gave up completely resisting, only my own mouth was still trying to close.

Is it just like that?

I was a little unwilling, but when I thought about it, I didn't feel that I was unwilling. Probably, I just don't want to die like this, if I want to die, at least let me know who the "person" who influenced the entire ancient Chinese civilization is? Who is Bu Jin? Who exactly is Ryazan? Where is my father, and does he still exist in this world? If my mission is not accomplished, who will replace me?

There were too many questions that came into my mind at once, I closed my eyes, and my heart said forget it, don't think about it, maybe, these things are not what I should have thought about, maybe, these things are impossible to figure out, maybe, all this experience should be done by my brother, not me.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps in the distance.

I looked through the dense swarm of insects and took a hard look at the door of the stone chamber - it was Ryazan.

Ryazan looked at me with a panicked expression, a look of worry and fear in his eyes, and then he glanced at Bu Jin, and there was some reproach in his eyes.

However, Bu Jin didn't pay any attention to this, and Ryazan didn't say anything, and came behind the man with a long knife.

I saw Ryazan, and the desire to survive burned again, but my body was completely disobedient to my own command, and I couldn't remember how many octopus worms had crawled into my mouth. I just felt a tight, itchy pain in my throat, and then my throat, esophagus, started to hurt in bouts.

Ryazan put up his long knife and said to me: "Peixi, don't worry, I'm here to save you!" ”

As he spoke, the long knife swung and slashed at the man's neck.

I heard a "hum", not only me, but even Ryazan couldn't believe it.

I don't think it's surprising if the long knife slashed at the man's neck and made a "ding" sound, and the man's neck was undamaged, at most the man was a zombie, and his body was very hard.

However, I didn't expect that the long knife would cut directly through the man's neck like cutting tofu, and without any hesitation, the long knife would slash through it at once.

But the man's neck was not broken. His head didn't move, and Ryazan's move, as if it had been chopped into the air, had no effect.

That person should be a ghost, but his hands that grabbed my wrists were so solid and powerful.

Ryazan was also not prepared for such a situation. What was even more frightening was that the man's neck suddenly turned, and his entire head turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and his body did not move, but his head had already turned to Ryazan's side.

Without a steady stream of insects attacking me, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, I looked at Ryazan, only to see Ryazan slightly stunned, only hesitated for a moment, I saw countless octopus insects began to crawl on Ryazan's body.

However, fortunately, Ryazan was not a good person after all, and when he saw this, he did not immediately pounce on the octopus insects that crawled on his face, but clasped the person's shoulders with both hands, and then, leaning forward, pressed the man's chin with his knees, and did not let the person open his mouth.

The worm in the man's mouth couldn't be released, and he seemed to be very uncomfortable, so he let go of my hand at once, and the whole person stood up at once, with so much force, that he directly flew Ryazan out.

I was free, and I hurried to the side, knelt in the corner, and kept picking my throat with my fingers, trying to vomit, but all I vomited was some stomach acid, and I couldn't see the bugs.

I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and shouted: "Ryazan, watch out for those bugs!" ”

Ryazan got up, saw that I was fine, showed a reassuring smile, and smiled at me: "My Lord Peixi, just take care of yourself." ”

"We can't beat him, so let's run." I said.

Ryazan stood up, put one hand in his trouser pocket, took out his bronze coin, and said to me with an excited expression: "What are you kidding, Lord Peixi, we have worked so hard to come here, do we have to give up here." ”

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but say angrily: "It's a lot of hard work...... I don't fucking know why I'm here, first because of my mother's body, then because of the old man's cave, but this is the old man's cave, and I don't fucking know what we're going to do. ”

Ryazan glanced at me and said with a smile: "Didn't your girlfriend tell you that our task is very simple, which is to take off the man's mask." ”

"That mask can't be taken off at all, it's on his face!" I shouted.
