Chapter 574: The Cave
I sniffed, and it was a faint smell that drifted in the wind and swirled around the tip of my nose, and I was sure I was right.
"What's going on?"
I stood there for a moment, but walked inside.
After walking for a while, the smell faded and gradually disappeared.
According to memory, after a few more steps, there will be a fork in front of you, go inside along the fork on the left, and choose left again at the next fork in the road, and you will see the hanging coffin.
After walking for about half an hour, a fork in the road appeared, and I was now inside the mountain.
Unlike most caves, the terrain has been rising since entering the cave and reaches a limit at the first fork.
The fork in the road was blocked by two water curtains, and according to memory, I chose the left side.
Piercing through the water curtain, the terrain sinks sharply, and it is clear to me that I have truly entered this cave when I walk here.
After walking along the slope down for about five minutes, the terrain gradually calmed down, and the sound of water could be heard in my ears, and a dark river about three meters wide appeared on the left.
The water is about an elbow deep, and by the bright white light of the horse lamp, you can clearly see the bottom of the river, and like the outside, the bottom of the river here is also densely packed with corpse cockroaches.
I didn't mean to alarm the corpse cockroaches, but stood up and looked around with a lantern to look around.
The cave is very characteristic of karst landform, the stalactites hang down, and occasionally water droplets drip from the surface, and the ground makes a ticking sound.
As you walk along the side path, the temperature of the cave gradually drops, and the sound of rushing water and the occasional thunderclap rings in your ears.
Every time there is a crisp thunderclap under the water, a small bubble rises on the surface of the river, and a faint dark green ghost fire rises.
After walking for about ten minutes, I paused, and I smelled the faint fragrance again, which was very faint, but very mellow, as if someone had left it on purpose.
I pondered for a while, but I still didn't understand who could get here before me.
"Strange!" I shook my head and continued to walk, and after walking for another half hour or so, I could see the second fork, and after the second fork, after another half hour or so, I could see the hanging coffin, and some of my doubts would be solved.
The memory left in his previous life, he has a deep grudge against this coffin, and I have a feeling that once I see that coffin and solve some doubts, he will really disappear, and then I will only be left with memories, and it will not affect myself.
"Be careful!"
Slowly exhaling a breath, I lifted the lantern and continued to move forward, took two steps, and suddenly an exclamation sounded behind me, I didn't think about it, the sword swirled and slashed behind me.
With a pop, it felt strange to the touch, as if it had chopped a rag with a toughness, but the tip of the sword pierced into it, and the inside was very soft, and there should be a lot of moisture.
With a strange thought, I threw the contents of my sword into the water, and at the same time raised the lantern and shone it into the river.
"it!"
The moment I saw the mass of things, I frowned, and a feeling of nausea ran in my heart.
There was a mass of human heads floating on the surface of the river, and eight slender legs slid on the water, quickly approaching the shore with its body.
At the same time, the head-shaped mass was still flowing out of a thick white liquid, which looked like brains, and emitted a strange smell.
"Spider!"
I took a step back and spat out two words, not expecting to run into a spider the size of a spider here.
In the memory fragments left by my previous life, I didn't see this spider, in fact, there are two memories, one is that I walked through the corpse cockroach swarm, and the corpse roaches blew themselves up one after another, and the other is that I sealed the coffin with blood in front of that coffin.
The rest of the memories didn't, so I didn't expect such a spider to emerge at all.
If it hadn't been for that sound of alerting, the spider would have landed on my back and inserted its mouthparts into my neck.
"Thank you, are you alright?"
The voice sounded again, from far and near, and the person who spoke appeared in front of me, it was the pangolin.
"Why are you here?"
I looked at him suspiciously.
"I can't walk by myself!" The pangolin rolled his eyes and said pitifully: "I tried to go back, but after walking for a while, I ran into trouble, and two people composed of corpse cockroaches appeared, there was no way, I could only turn back to you!" ”
"If it weren't for my nose spirit, I might have lost it, but I didn't expect to see that spider hanging down as soon as I followed!" The pangolin pointed to the spider on the surface of the river.
After a finger, the pangolin was stunned, and there were thunderclaps in the river, and these thunderbolts were connected like firecrackers, and bubbles were also surging upwards from the bottom of the water at the same time, and the spider that rowed to the river was completely panicked, and grabbed the shore with four legs, and the other four legs rowed hard, trying to climb ashore from the river.
It's a pity that it's late.
Accompanied by dark green ghost fires, corpse cockroaches came up from the bottom of the river, biting the spider's four legs and shriveled stomach left on the water, and dragging it down the river.
A whirlpool rose on the surface of the river, and the spider disappeared in front of us, dragged to the bottom.
The matter is not over, one by one corpse cockroaches floated up from the bottom of the river, gulping and devouring the white body fluids exposed by the spiders.
At this time, the pangolin regained its turtle nature, its whole body shrunk into a roll, and it leaned motionless at my feet, not daring to come out.
I didn't move, I'm not afraid of corpse roaches, but once the corpse cockroaches of the whole river are alarmed, it will always be troublesome, and if you have that strength, it is better to stay behind.
My heart palpitates that there can't be only one spider in the cave, and judging from the reaction of this spider, it knows very well how powerful the corpse cockroach is at the bottom of the river, that is, it is likely that there is not just one spider here, but many of them.
If so, then things are a bit of a hassle.
After waiting for nearly five minutes, the river surface returned to calm, and all the corpse cockroaches dived to the bottom of the river again, and stayed there quietly.
The corpse residue floating on the surface of the river had been completely cleaned up, leaving no trace except for the ghost fire floating in mid-air.
"Let's go!"
I took a deep look at the river, mentioned the pangolin that was still pretending to be dead, and whispered.
The pangolin probe didn't refute, honestly according to my request, stretched his body, and followed me inward.
On the road again, I slowed down a lot and was a lot more careful, holding a lantern from time to time to check the surroundings to make sure that I wouldn't encounter the situation just now.
After walking for about twenty minutes, I paused again and realized that something was wrong with the river.
The calm river was covered with tiny bubbles, and the river made a strange rustling sound, as if thousands of corpse cockroaches were rubbing against the stone wall at the bottom of the river at the same time.
Soon there were more and more bubbles, and the river was boiling more and more, and a fishy smell and a smell similar to brain pulp came at the same time, mixing together.
"Thank you, God, above!"
The pangolin trembled and raised its paws to point upward, and its whole body was in a mess, and it began to play dead.
I looked up, my heart was cold, through the light of the horse lamp, I could clearly see that I don't know when more than ten pairs of cold eyes appeared on the top of the cave wall.
One by one, the spiders fell down and stared at me coldly, they took me as a prey and wanted to hunt me.
In addition to spiders, there are also cobwebs on the top, the things on the cobwebs are nothing else, it is the corpse cockroach, one by one the corpse roaches are tied in the spider web, many corpse roaches' bodies have been broken, dark green juice drip down the spider web, fall in the river water, the river boiling more and more violently.
The food of this spider turned out to be a corpse cockroach, which I didn't expect.
I stuck to the front, looking coldly at the spiders in the air, chasing soldiers in front, and then intercepting, there were a total of eighteen spiders blocking the way in front of and behind me, and their goal was very clear, that is, to kill me.
The corpse roaches at the bottom of the river were alarmed somewhat beyond my expectations, and for the corpse roaches, these spiders were obviously very jealous, and froze in place, without further action.
I had the illusion that these corpse cockroaches were protecting me, and I even felt a sense of closeness in them.
