Kong Xue leaned tightly against me, I reached out to protect her behind me, and then turned my head to look at Shi Tao. Shi Tao also looked at me a little nervously, slowly raised his hand, touched the short knife on his waist, hesitated, but did not take it, but pulled down the sapper shovel hanging on the backpack with his hand, and then walked over slowly.

I turned around and patted Kong Xue, motioning for her not to move. Then he took out the short knife on his waist and followed Shi Tao over.

The two of us cautiously approached the nearest stone carving of a human face.

Although this thing does seem very strange, but fortunately there is no danger of this phenomenon yet, these face stone carvings just turn their heads, and they can't open their mouths to spit on us!

Although these self-consoling words are easy to say, we all know in our hearts that the builder must have his purpose in doing so, and the change of the stone carvings on the human face will inevitably bring about a certain situation. It was impossible for the people of Shan Huan to just let these people make a salute on their faces and be done!

Shi Tao and I stared at the stone carvings in front of us, fully guarded, although we didn't know what kind of threat this change could pose to us, but we still didn't dare to relax a little!

We didn't pay attention when we passed by, and now we realize that the human faces carved on the stone walls in the passage seem to be much more elaborate than those carved on the stone walls outside, and the materials are different. The face is carved from a material that looks like white marble, and is carved into the walls on both sides of the passage.

I speculate that there must have been some space between the face and the wall during the mosaic, so it moved, but the key question is why it was designed this way in the first place! If it's to defend against intruders, this doesn't have much effect, at most it can be scary, unless the intruder happens to have a bad heart, it can't play a role in expelling or killing at all!

At this moment, Shi Tao suddenly pointed to the face carving and said, "Zhuo Ran, look! ”

I looked at where he was pointing, and I saw that there seemed to be some black object inside the face. Only then did we realize that in fact, the material of the face showed a translucent state, and it could be seen that the inside was hollow, so under the illumination of the flashlight, we could see some of the conditions inside.

The change inside the human face made us a little nervous for a while, not knowing whether this change was a blessing or a curse, although it was unlikely to be a blessing!

We brought our faces closer and looked inside, and we found that the black thing inside seemed to move, could it be alive? Before we could figure it out, we found that there was more and more black in the face, and gradually the original milky white face almost completely turned into a dark gray at this time.

Not only the one in front of us, but all the stone carvings of human faces have become like this! Shi Tao and I looked at each other, although we didn't know what it meant, but deep uneasiness swelled up in our hearts!

The blackness on the inside of the face is getting thicker and thicker, and it looks like it's increasing.

I suddenly thought of a question, when we just entered here, we found a piece of climbing rope on the iron chain at the entrance, indicating that someone had just passed through here not long ago, and I could almost conclude that nine times out of ten it was the Tang family's team, and they also passed through this passage, why didn't they trigger the mechanism of the stone carving of the human face? Because when we came in, our faces were still rolling our eyes.

Why is that? Could it be that these face stone carvings really only exist to scare people, and they turn black and then turn back, then this organ is too neurotic!

No, the Tang family must have known much more about the situation than we did, and they must have taken some kind of measure to avoid this from happening. And if this is the case, since the people of the Tang family try their best to avoid this situation, then it means that this change is dangerous, and it is likely to be very dangerous!

What is the method? I didn't have a clue for a while, I used a flashlight to shine on other carvings, and I found a problem, although the black objects inside these faces are increasing, but the one in front of us is increasing the fastest, the black inside the stone carvings of this face has risen to the full, and it is almost about to burst!

I couldn't help but be stunned, why did the stone carvings in front of us change faster? What is the difference between it and other human face stone carvings, I thought about it with a frown. What exactly is the difference, closer to us? This is unlikely.

It occurred to me that it seemed that this was the place where the stone carving was brighter, and the flashlights of the two of us were shining on it almost all the time. I hurriedly said to Shi Tao and Kong Xue behind: "Turn off the flashlight!" ”

The two of them nodded, then turned off the flashlight, and at the same time, I also turned it off. Instantly, we fell into darkness, and after a while, I suddenly turned on the flashlight and shone it on the position of the face, and sure enough, I saw that the black inside the face had stopped moving, but after my flashlight passed, it quickly began to move again.

I knew in my heart that it was the light, and it was the light that caused the faces on both sides of the passage to change in this way, and it was the light that led something into its interior.

At this time, Shi Tao and Kong Xue, who were still unknown, turned on the flashlight again, and the strong light lit up again, and I was horrified to see that the black in the human face swelled even faster, and it was about to break through the wall. I don't know what that black is, but it's definitely not a good thing!

I was so shocked that I hurriedly shouted, "Don't turn on the flashlight, quick!" Close it! ”

Shi Tao and Kong Xue looked very puzzled, but when they saw my expression, they immediately did so. All the flashlights were turned off again, and darkness came again.

We fumbled together, and Kong Xue anxiously asked, "What happened?" ”

I told them a few words about what I had just seen with Shi Tao and what I had discovered. In the darkness, Kong Xue's voice came, "Then what should we do?" I gently shook her hand and found that her palms were covered in sweat.

yes, what should I do? Forward is the monster in the water, backward is the strange stone face, stay in the middle, but can't turn on the flashlight yet, but there is no light, in this extreme darkness, it is extremely difficult for us to return the same way!

I just hope that those faces can be strong enough, don't break them, we can stay where we are, or come up with a way to leave, or we can wait for Wenmo to come back to the rescue, maybe he will have a way. But when it comes to Wenmo, I feel a little angry in my heart, where did this kid run at the critical moment!

And at this moment, Murphy's Law once again confirmed its existential value, if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small its odds are, it will always happen! In the darkness, I heard a crisp cracking sound in my ears! My heart was shocked! Oops!

At this time, I didn't care about what I was avoiding, so I quickly turned on the flashlight, and when I saw the stone carving of the human face just now, my heart suddenly cooled, the stone face had been broken, and the black things in it were scattered all over the ground. When I looked at those black objects, I felt numb all over my body, and I immediately got goosebumps.

I saw that the ground was densely crawled with black beetles, each about the size of a quail egg, scattered on the ground, and many of them poured out from inside the stone face!

I hurriedly stepped back, Kong Xue was not the kind of girl who was afraid of insects, snakes, rats and ants, but when she saw such a scene, she couldn't help but scream!

As the saying goes, good things are hard to come by, and bad things are easy to come in pairs. We really have a roof leak and it is raining, and the sound of the broken stone face sounded again, "pop" "pop" "pop", every broken sound sounded to us like the footsteps of the approaching death!

There were more and more beetles on the ground, as if the black ink was spreading very quickly!

Kong Xue asked with a pale face, "This, what kind of insect is this?" ”

I stepped on one lightly, picked it up with a short knife, and saw that it was a black beetle, but on its beak was a pair of large claws that did not match its size, and on its back there was a small white face pattern.

I knew right away that these were all the same ferocious human-faced beetles we'd seen on the banks of the river! It's just that it's all larvae, so is this their nest?

I was thinking about it, when I suddenly felt a pain in my calf, and I looked down and saw that it was a small human-faced beetle, and at this time its pair of large claws had been deeply pierced. I didn't expect such a small size to be so fierce! I swung my knife and slashed it down.

It seems that the aggressiveness of these beetles should not be underestimated, and there are so many of them that once they swarm up, a few of us will immediately die!

Shi Tao picked up the sapper shovel and slapped at the swarm of insects that came over, but it had little effect, a dozen of them were killed with a shovel, and dozens more would rush over immediately! The short knife in my hand has no room to play, and there is a sense of helplessness to draw the knife and cut off the water!

I took off my clothes and wrapped myself around a short knife. Fluttering left and right, a large number of insects were killed by Shi Tao or thrown into the water by me, but compared to the uncountable number of beetles, this is a drop in the bucket! We had to fight and retreat until we reached the water's edge.

At this point, we are in a desperate situation, with a killer beetle in front and a mysterious water monster in the back, and we are caught in the middle. As the top existence of the food chain on the earth, it seems that a few of us are destined to become the belly of other species today!

Shi Tao waved the sapper shovel in his hand continuously, and a large number of beetles were slapped into meat patties, and he turned to me and said, "Zhuo Ran, you take Kong Xue away!" ”
