Chapter 132: Fairy Tale Forest (Seventy-Eight) Corpses

It wasn't until the whole space finally stopped rising that I steadied myself against the wall and wore a rough air. The whole space rises very quickly, and it only takes a second or two from the beginning of the ascent to the complete stop. But it was these two seconds that undoubtedly pushed me into a very dangerous situation.

I didn't dare to move, so I leaned against the wall and breathed calmly, listening carefully to what I wanted to hear. The previous doorway was blocked by the wall because of the rise, and the original light naturally disappeared, leaving only the magic symbols on the wall and the faint light.

In the darkness, I waited quietly for a while and there was no sound or any abnormality, and with what had just happened, I didn't dare to touch anything casually, even leaning against the wall carefully, trying not to let the exposed skin touch anything.

I'm only now realizing that this small space actually looks like an elevator - an enclosed space that moves up and down, and maybe goes down in reverse, but this is just my guess, and I don't know if it's really possible.

It's just that the biggest problem now is not to study the function of this "elevator" and how to use it, the biggest problem is that I can't stay here for a long time.

If you want me to say, after I am separated from the wolf fang, he will definitely come to me, in fact, staying in this small space and waiting for the wolf fang is the smartest choice, even if the first thing to find is not the wolf fang, but those ogres, I also have the knife that the wolf tooth made me carry in the guest room before, and I still have the long staff in my hand, not completely without the power to fight.

It's just that the problem is that although the function here is a bit like an elevator, it is not a real elevator after all, according to the smell when opening the door, there should be no vents and other designs, and the space here is very small, relying on the oxygen that exists in it, I am afraid it will not last long. Moreover, once there is a lack of oxygen, dizziness is inevitable, followed by a loss of strength, and if there is any danger in the case of concealment, I am afraid that my strength will disappear completely.

So, regardless of anything else, I have to find a way to get out of this little space now.

Thinking like this, I looked around, but it was too dim for the little light from the magic symbol to illuminate anything, and after some futile efforts, I decided that I had to take a risk and touch the magic symbol again to see what would happen.

With that in mind, I pulled out the knife and held it in my hand, then reached out and touched the magic symbol. There was another sting, and the wall in front of the door slowly faded away, revealing the dark passage outside. As soon as the enclosed space was opened, fresh air was instantly used, and I took two greedy breaths before I began to think about what to do next.

Outside the door is not a corridor or passageway, but a larger room. After adjusting to the darkness, I could still faintly see some dark outlines in the room, presumably stacked with something. I didn't go out the door, still hesitating, to go out from here and look for the wolf fangs and the forest cliffs, or to touch the rune again and see if I could descend back?

Since it's something like an elevator here, and combined with the previous drag marks, I think it should be able to go back down. With that in mind, I decided to take the risk and try again, reaching out and touching the glowing symbol on the wall for the third time.

However, to my surprise, nothing happened this time, as if the symbol had failed, and nothing changed in the small room.

What's going on? Is it impossible to descend back? Impossible, if that's the case, wouldn't it be a one-off here? I frowned and searched, unbelievably groping for the symbols, but as I touched them, I found something else.

Underneath the symbol, a round hole appeared, and I felt the keyhole, and groped with my little finger, which I could reach, and found that it was an elongated round hole, with two protrusions in it, dividing the hole into three sections.

I imagined what this round hole would look like in my mind, and gradually I had the answer - this round hole was the same as the keyhole I had seen before.

It's really a dragon, one key, so many applications

I sneered, but at the same time I realized that if I wanted this "elevator" to run down, I probably needed that key to do it.

Since the original decision could not be realized, the only way left for me was to find a way out of here.

I carefully raised my hand holding the knife to my chest, and then nervously stepped out of the small space. Looking around, there was darkness everywhere, I could only see the general outline but I couldn't see what it was, there was really no light here, there was a lot of debris everywhere, and even in some places the debris kept piling up from the foot to the ceiling, so I couldn't help but worry about whether these things would fall down.

I turned around a bit and found a window after going around a pile of debris that had fallen all the way to the ceiling. The window was open high and not big, but it was the only light source in the room, and only a little starlight came in through the window, allowing me to see the small piece of light and the little things around me.

Guarding all around, I thought about the only place where there was a little light. Only then did I find that the structure here is a bit peculiar, the ceiling is not flat but sloping, and the "elevator" has the lowest roof, which gradually rises to this side, forming an inclined plane. This construction reminds me of the attic, which is also like this, and the ceiling is slanted.

I didn't find anything valuable in the surrounding clutter, I was afraid that they would collapse or make some collision sounds, so I kept avoiding them and didn't touch them, until I walked into this bright light and found that the surroundings were suddenly a lot empty, there was no debris piled up here, the only thing seemed to be in the darkness ahead, there was a large cuboid thing, I don't know what it was, and there was a slight glitter in the dark.

I mustered up the courage to touch the unknown object, only to find that the tentacles were cold, it seemed to be some kind of metal, and there was no piece of it, and I was sure that it was a cage.

But what is the cage for?

I tried to pull at the metal, but I only shuddered the cage and moved a little distance, which was too little, and made me realize that the idea of dragging it to the light was impossible, so I had to think of something else.

It's a cage that naturally has a door, thinking like this, I groped on the surface of the cage, I could vaguely see something in the cage, the volume didn't seem to be small, but there was no sound and no movement for so long, it should be a dead thing, but I don't know what it is.

I finally found the door, but luckily there was no lock on it, so I easily opened it and got into the cage.

After entering the cage, I had an accurate estimate, the cage was so big that I could walk around standing in it. Thinking about the blurry unidentified object, I walked over and watched the thing get closer and closer, and the outline gradually became clear, when I suddenly stepped on something under my feet, and there was a crisp sound. The sound was not loud, but it was very abrupt in this darkness. I was so frightened that I crouched down and curled up in a ball, protected me with a knife, and waited with bated breath for a while, making sure that no one was coming, and then I breathed a sigh of relief and continued to check.

My hands reached under my feet, trying to see what I was stepping on. Just now, I feel like I stepped on something like cloth, but there are hard objects under the cloth, and I have stepped on it, at this time the first thing I groped for was a piece of fabric, but the feeling of starting is not very good, it doesn't feel new, it should be some years, and under the cloth is a long strip of hard objects.

What is this? What is Brie wrapping? I frowned in confusion, and my men continued to fumble, and there was a smell of dust in my nose, with a slight stench, I had not smelled it, I did not know what it was.

As my hand moved upwards and upwards, I became more and more frightened, and vaguely I had a guess, but I couldn't believe it and confirmed it further. Fear and nervousness made my hands tremble a little, and I was more cautious with my touch.

Knowing that I had touched a bumpy shape and two holes that I had thought in my heart, I was shocked to retract my hand and sit on the ground in fright.

My body was still trembling slightly, and the feeling I just felt made me still have palpitations. I already had a rough idea of what I was touching, but the unexpected answer still made me a little stunned.

After a few seconds, I swallowed my saliva and crouched again, hesitated for a moment to grope for the thing again. It took me another round of probing to fully confirm my suspicion that I was facing a corpse.

To be precise, it was a corpse whose flesh had completely decayed, with only clothes and bone racks left on its body.

Is there a person in this cage? It's just that a corpse can be turned into a skeleton, I'm afraid the time is definitely not short, at least it was a few decades ago, right? But why put a person in a cage? And what is the identity of this person?

I had a vague feeling that this was not that simple, that there might be something else going on, and that my instincts and current situation made me feel that this was definitely not a corpse to be fed on.

It's just that the body of this corpse is unknown, and the reason why it is locked up here is unknown, and what is even stranger is that the corpse is thrown in a cage like this and left untreated, leaving it to rot until only bones remain, which is really an unbelievable thing.

For a while, I just felt that there were many doubts, and I couldn't figure it out.
