Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Sound of Dripping Water

I didn't feel anything about this red thing, but when I got into it, I felt like I had jumped into boiling water, and I was so hot that I felt like I was about to be cooked.

And the mass was not just a barrier as I had thought, and as soon as I entered, it was as if I had stepped on it, and my whole body fell rapidly, and all around it was red, like tumbling magma.

The pain was like hell, and you could hear countless screams and wails coming from all directions, as if countless people were being tortured.

My body fell completely uncontrollably, I wanted to scream, but I couldn't scream, I couldn't even breathe uncontrollably, this feeling of life being worse than death was indescribable.

I don't know how long it has been, my body has been falling, the pain has not diminished at all, it would be fine if I passed out, but my consciousness is becoming more and more awake, as if I want people to bear this most painful pain in the most sober state.

It is not an exaggeration to describe my situation at this time by calling the heavens and the earth not spiritual.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, as if something was spinning in it, stirring my internal organs, and the pain was much worse than before.

But along with this pain, I found that I was able to move, and the burning sensation gradually subsided.

I began to shout and instinctively wave my hands, but it was all in vain, and after about a few more minutes, I suddenly felt a chill in my body and the scarlet in front of me suddenly dissipated.

Then I fell heavily on the hard ground, but strangely, I didn't feel any pain at all, and the moment I landed, it was like someone was holding me up.

The pain in my stomach disappeared suddenly, but I could still feel as if something was slowly turning in my lower abdomen, and a warm current flowed through my meridians all over my body, making people feel an indescribable sense of comfort, and I felt that my vision and hearing were much better, and I felt a feeling of deafness and sight.

I stood up and looked around, and saw that I was still in a confined space, which was almost the same as the one I had just had, with red rust on the rock walls all around.

The only difference is that there are dozens of holes on all sides that are just big enough for one person to enter, a bit like a beehive.

I didn't see An Xiaotian and them, I guess they got into these holes, and I shouted a few times but no one responded.

But I was in a dilemma, there were so many holes around, and I didn't know where they got in, and they didn't leave a mark or anything.

Before coming in, Shangguan Chen also said that after coming in, he didn't care about anything, everyone would meet first, but now he couldn't even see a single figure.

I was still thinking about waiting for them for a while, but after a minute, I felt a hot breath blowing on my head, and I instinctively looked up and was startled.

I don't know when an extra basketball-sized fireball came out above me, and it was slamming down on me.

I quickly dodged to the side, and the fireball crashed to the ground with a thud and sparks flew everywhere.

Just before I could react, I suddenly felt a stronger scorching breath again, looked up, and scolded in my heart!

It turns out that the fireball just now was just the beginning, and now my head is densely packed with such fireballs, if they are smashed down collectively, I guess I will not be able to avoid even flying mosquitoes.

Before the fireballs began to fall, I hurriedly rushed into the nearest cave with my front feet, and as soon as my front foot entered the cave, there was a rumbling sound behind me, and those fireballs fell like raindrops, and if I were a little more than half a second late, I am afraid that even the bones would have to melt.

When the fireballs hit the ground, they didn't go out, but melted into something like magma, and began to pour into the cave like a flood.

I was so frightened that my mother screamed, and I ran away with all my strength, and I don't know how long I ran, until I was too tired to do it, I found that the hot magma had not chased me, and then I let out a long breath, which was regarded as a circle in the ghost gate.

What a place this is!

I cursed in my heart, and when I looked around, I saw that it was like a huge ant nest, except for burrows and burrows, crisscrossed by roads, and I didn't know which way to go.

Now it's impossible to go back the same way, just ran around, I don't know how many turns I turned, and no matter how good the direction is, people have to be dizzy.

But I couldn't just wait, so I had no choice but to continue to pick a random cave to get into, and every time I walked about two hundred meters or so of these caves, there would be another circular space like the one just now, and there would also be many caves around the circular space.

It's like a series of twisting lines, connecting many distant points, to put it bluntly, it is a super huge labyrinth.

As I walked, I made marks along the way, but I found that although I had not walked the repetitive path, there was no end in sight, and that the vast labyrinth seemed to be endless.

I began to panic more and more, and when I passed through a cave, the light suddenly dimmed, and I had to slow down and grope my way forward, and all of a sudden, I felt something under my feet, and it was soft, and I looked down and saw that it was a person lying there.

I hurriedly leaned down and took a closer look, and was immediately startled, because this "person" was a little different from normal humans, although he had a human body, but his head was like a beast I had never seen before, and it looked extremely strange.

This reminds me of the charred monster corpses I saw at Long Xiaoman's house, which looked very similar to the thing in front of me, all of them were human and beast heads.

After seeing the corpse of this monster, I was even more sure of An Xiaotian's speculation that the mysterious force that attacked the Long family must be related to this place, otherwise there would not be an identical monster.

I examined the corpse of the monster carefully, and found that it was mortally wounded in the heart, as if it had been pierced by some sharp weapon, and its blood had coagulated for a long time, and it looked like it had been dead for several days.

We just came down, so it must not have been An Xiaotian who killed this monster, which means that someone or something must have been here before us!

And what I hope most in my heart is the people of the Long family, if this is the case, it means that they were safe at least a few days ago!

At this time, I suddenly felt movement behind me, turned my head to look, and suddenly surprised me!

A bat the size of a water tank hung upside down behind me, and what was even more bizarre was that this bat actually had a human face, but its facial features were blurred, and it looked even more permeable!

I didn't have time to think about it, and I whipped it, but the human-faced bat was so fast that it flashed my whip with one wing, but instead of attacking me, it flapped its wings and flew away.

I had a false alarm, I thought it was some kind of powerful character, but I didn't expect it to be scared away so easily.

I continued to walk forward, and along the way I found several monster corpses with beast heads and human bodies, in different forms, some were stabbed into the heart, and some were cut in the throat with a knife, but I could see that the people who killed these monsters were extraordinary and clean, and I had not found two scars on the corpses of any monsters.

This shows that the person who shoots is a one-hit kill, and he can reach out.

Before I knew it, I came to a spherical space full of caves again, this time I was a little discouraged, I couldn't get around, and if I went on like this, when would it be a head!

But we have to keep going, we can't stay where we are and wait to die, but we can't continue to bump into a fly like a headless fly.

I began to calm down and take a closer look at the caves, which from the outside, were nothing out of the ordinary.

So I stood at the mouth of the cave and leaned my ear over to feel it one by one to see if I could detect anything unusual.

My stupid trick worked, the caves looked the same on the outside, but if you listened and smelled closely, you could see the difference inside.

For example, there are several caves in the entrance, and I can feel a burst of hot breath coming from the inside, which means that there must be magma in front of me, so I directly exclude these caves.

Although I didn't feel the scorching breath in the remaining caves, I was happy to hear the sound of dripping water in one cave on the left!

In this case, being able to hear the sound of water is like finding an oasis in the desert. I've been wandering around here for a long time, and my throat is already smoky with thirst, and if I continue like this, let alone any monster attacks, I'll die of thirst here.

Without thinking about it, I ran into the hole, and the sound of dripping water became clearer and clearer, and after about two hundred meters or so, I was pleased to find that this was no longer the circular space full of caves, and it was not surrounded by rocks covered with red rust.

It is an octagonal stone platform surrounded by a ring of still water sources, and next to each of these water sources is a dragon-shaped sculpture.

A small stone bridge was erected on top of it, and I walked from the small stone bridge to the center of the stone platform, and found that in the center of the stone platform was a pothole the size of a basin.

Smack!

A drop of water dripped from above, falling right in this hole, in the open space, making a clear dripping sound.

The dripping sound I heard at the entrance of the cave should have come from here.

My throat was so thirsty that I smoked, and I didn't care if there was a problem with the water at this time, so I just held it in my hand and started drinking, the water was cold, and I felt comfortable in my stomach for a while, and I didn't feel anything wrong after drinking.

Just as I was putting my hand into the basin-sized hole again, about to hold water to drink, I suddenly felt something hit at the bottom, and when I took it out, I froze.

Long Xiaoman's mobile phone!

I suddenly remembered that the last time I called Long Xiaoman, I heard the sound of dripping water on the other end of the phone!
