Chapter 113: Demons Dance (Part II)
"Is this thing better steamed or braised in a braised stew?"
In the black ancient road, the squirming dense forest was gently danced by the sound of the wind, and the blood-stained black leaves were scattered on the bloody soil, and the white moonlight poured low.
Lin Yetian smelled the flesh and blood mixed with the smell of earth in the bag, and arched his nose in disgust.
"I think you can try it raw. ”
The ancient griffin suggested lightly.
Lin Yetian's eyelids jumped.
"Then I'll still stew myself in an iron pot, at least I took a shower yesterday. ”
Several people walked in the vast darkness, and from time to time there were screams, and as time passed, these screams gradually became more and less, and the sound of wailing seemed to become smaller and smaller.
This is not good news.
Not only the reduction of voice, but in Xue Muyan's perception, the nearby emotions are also gradually disappearing, and the original vast emotions in the dense forest are only a little bit of sporadic fear.
"I'm afraid we're going to have to prepare for the best and the worst. ”
Xue Muyan narrowed her eyes slightly.
"For example, you can't wash your hands when you pee?" Lin Yetian's eyes stared.
Xue Muyan was silent for a few seconds, clenched her fists, and silently took steps to ignore him.
As several people continued to walk, the soil under their feet seemed to get wetter and wetter, and a waterhole appeared directly in front of the eyes of several people.
Ahead, in the deep darkness, there was a jungle of banyan trees and a shrill noise.
Passing through a dark pool, contrary to the stream that passed, the waterhole was as dead as an abyss, with no bottom in sight, but full of an unpleasant fishy smell.
Above the pool, several vague black shadows floated on the water, and no waves could be seen in the muddy black mud, as calm as a completely static black hole.
Several people glanced at each other, and the open space by the waterhole looked easier than walking through the banyan trees, but in view of Xue Muyan's accurate judgment, several people chose not to take the direction of the open space.
The dim light of the oil lamp moved, and the figures of Lin Yetian and the others gradually moved away from the waterhole.
Returning to the silent pool, there was a faint whisper of unwilling resentment.
Walking silently in the treacherous jungle where he couldn't peek into the sky, maybe ten minutes, maybe dozens of minutes, Xue Muyan suddenly felt that Lin Yetian in front of him slowed down, and half-squatted down with a strange expression.
Monsters appeared?
Xue Muyan's expression tightened, and she suddenly turned her head to look around carefully, the muscle reaction in her body had been adjusted to the maximum, and she might be on the verge of breaking out at any time.
Several people in the rear saw Xue Muyan's expression, and their expressions were also cold.
In the silent darkness, a few people who remained silent waited for the potential danger that might arise at any time, and the time passed minute by minute.
Five seconds later.
Lin Yetian got up slowly, looked at the few people around him strangely and scratched his head:
"I'll just squat down and tie my shoelaces, you ......"
Xue Muyan's eyelids jumped.
Coughing lightly, holding back the fact that Lin Yetian didn't have shoelaces, Xue Muyan held her pink fist and said hello to the few people behind her before continuing to move forward.
It's just that when she was about to take a step, she suddenly stopped, and Zheng Zheng looked at the red in front of her.
As a result of the gaze, a red lake of blood appeared in the sight of several people, and there were several black, corpse-like things on top of the mud-like lake.
"This ...... Isn't this the lake we just saw? We've avoided it...... Why, why did you run to the front again!?"
The new woman screamed, it was clear that this was the first time she had seen such a strange scene.
"Long legs. ”
Lin Yetian explained seriously.
"The top of the lake...... What seems to be there?" the sharp-eyed Oliver couldn't help but squint as he looked at the black corpse on top of the pool of blood.
"It's like...... It seems to be ...... It's ......"
"Mary, Mary!?"
Looking at it, Oliver suddenly screamed in disbelief, and as his gaze progressed, his frightened look became more and more terrifying:
"Orleans...... Gustin ...... And also...... And my Jenny!?"
"Oh my God! How could ......this be! Aren't they all dead a long time ago! Why are they suddenly here now!"
Oliver's demeanor was a little out of shape, because all the figures that appeared on the lake were his dead relatives!
"Daddy...... Daddy!?"
"Huh. ”
Not only that, but the woman behind her also let out an unbelievable murmur, and Zheng Zheng slowly approached the blood-red lake with a raised step.
This terrifying lake lures passers-by like a bloody mouth, and the already terrifying atmosphere in the air is now even more eerie.
If you don't count Lin Yetianying's father.
Almost at the same time, the black eyes of the two gradually became confused, and in a trance, the scene was reunited with this time Under the gloomy sky, under the huge dark green banyan tree, countless figures knelt in front of the banyan tree, there were humans, there were shadow people, there were six-legged monsters, there were night demons, and there were many human beings seen by many people, they knelt beside the blood-colored lake, and they also used the strange posture of prayer, and the murmuring prayers gathered together, echoing in the blood lake under the huge banyan tree.
"It's not good, stop them!"
The ancient griffin looked at the two people who were drifting away, and cried out with a wrecked expression.
Xue Muyan's eyes were quick, and a flash flashed in front of the two figures in an instant, Qianqianyu grabbed the sleeves of the two of them violently, and a burst of force came to pull the two of them out from front to back.
"Don't look at the pool of blood!"
Xue Muyan, who reacted, gasped and drank loudly.
The pupils of the two people who were confused gradually cleared, and they retreated in half as violently as if they had just woken up from a dream, and then looked at Zhengzheng's eyes, where were there any relatives in front of them, but a few strange dry bones lying on the river in a strange posture.
"This ...... This waterhole is a simulation of a loved one who has passed away in your mind!"
Oliver's eyes widened in fear, and even he, who claimed to be well-informed, had never seen this scene today.
Before he could continue to speak, another figure approached the shore of the Blood Lake with a slight tremor like a walking corpse.
"Night!"
Xue Muyan shouted, and just wanted to get closer but found that it was too late!
And then......
Lin Yetian sat on the edge of the waterhole in a half-squatting position, quickly took off his shoes, stretched his feet slightly, and soaked his feet in this bloody water humming a small song.
"Hey, Xiaoyan, did you just call me?"
Lin Yetian looked back suspiciously and said strangely.
Xue Muyan's eyes froze.
"Hmm...... It's nothing, I just think this pool is quite dirty, and it may not be suitable for you to wash your feet. ”
Xue Muyan was silent for a long time, and said stumblingly, but in fact, there was already an uproar in her heart.
Why......
This guy's painting style is different from ours, hey!
The ancient griffin, who saw this kind of operation for the first time, silently looked at Lin Yetian who was humming a little song, and reminded with a complicated expression:
"That...... It's better to be careful.5 There may be creatures lurking underneath that we've never seen before. ”
"Oh. Lin Yetian thought for a while, then nodded, listened to the persuasion of others very rarely, stretched out his foot to stand up again, and patted the dust on his body.
Xue Muyan coughed, automatically ignored Lin Yetian's strange behavior, and turned around with some seriousness to explain:
"It seems that this blood lake may have illusions that can confuse others, and if we stare at the black group on the surface of the lake, we will see the figures of our relatives, and thus attract us to the lake to devour ......"
"I know, it's good to close your eyes and not look at it. Lin Yetian replied on the side.
Xue Muyan glanced at him with a complicated expression, and then nodded silently, not looking at it directly is indeed the best solution.
Several people crept around to the side of the lake, closed their eyes and slowly groped around the lake from the side again, relying only on the touch from their hands.
The surging darkness flowed around him, slowly eating away at the faint glow of the oil lamp.
The light that symbolizes safety is waning little by little.
The treacherous and malicious whispers echoed in the darkness, and the vicious and dark eyes in the pool of blood peered directly at the oil lamp, but there was no burst of monstrous water.
More than ten meters away, a hazy white light poured down, dispelling the darkness like holy light.
Maybe it was because Lin Yetian's athlete's foot worked, and the red lake water like blood didn't follow up this time.
Everyone silently opened their eyes, and in front of them was a bamboo forest that had already been in a fog, and the blood-colored lake just now had disappeared.
In the black mist, the darkness that could not be reached was accompanied by a strange scream, which gradually reached the depths of the ears of the few people who had just opened their eyes.
"Save ...... Help me...... Help us, who will save us!"
"Mommy, Mommy, I don't want to die!"
"I want to soak ...... I want to"
Something seems to have gotten in.
These clear screams reached the ears of several people little by little, and the ancient griffin's eyes widened slightly:
"This ...... This is the cry for help from our Doomsday Warrior!"
Xue Muyan frowned slightly, she subconsciously thought that it was some kind of monster, so the sound of the suspicious array was like a strange blood pool attraction strategy just now.
However, this time, she did feel a faint fear of almost extinction coming from nearby.
This shows that there are indeed human beings around, and they are still in danger.
Lin Yetian didn't say a word, and walked away looking for the voice.
"Wait!" the ancient griffin grabbed Lin Yetian, who had just wanted to go, causing the latter to turn back strangely.
"Uh...... I mean...... To put it mildly, in fact, we can ignore his or their life or death, judging from the breath of this voice, even if someone is really there, it is obviously on the verge of death. ”
The ancient griffin explained with some embarrassment, although he seemed a little ruthless when he said this, but listening to the voice, several people did not know each other at all, and there was no need to put several people in danger for the sake of a life they had never met.
"That's right. Lin Yetian nodded, and continued to walk forward without looking back.
The ancient griffin was silent.
"Won't you stop him?"
He finally found that the most sensible person in the team seemed to be this extremely beautiful woman.
"No, who made him our captain?"
Xue Muyan smiled slightly and followed, followed by Oliver and the woman.
The ancient griffin smiled bitterly, sighed, and followed the few people in front of him, walking out of the range of the black bamboo.
I walked out of the range of the black bamboo and came to the ancient tree that looked very normal.
In the vast fog, there were screams from time to time, accompanied by the footsteps of several people, and the wails in the air made the atmosphere even more weird.
"It looks like it's a ...... from over there."
Xue Muyan lowered her pace and walked quietly in a white mist.
In the fog, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, several unclear tombstones appeared in the sight of several people.
As a result of the gaze, the black tombstone was strange, the red soil was bare, the night ducks hovered over the stump of the ancient tree, and the white mist seemed to become substantial.
Through this strange mist, a few people could faintly see that there seemed to be a lot of things like telephone poles standing next to the tombstone.
Wait a minute......
Pole?
How can there be a telephone pole here!?
Just when Lin Yetian was puzzled, Xue Muyan saw a bloody figure lying motionless on the ground under the black tombstone.
Quickly stepped forward to check, turned over the front of the figure, and a terrifying picture appeared:
The man's skull seemed to have been squeezed by something like a sharp claw, and all the teeth had been lost, and even the neck had been dug out to impress, and all the trachea, Adam's apple, and tongue used to happen were gone.
Looking at this person's appearance, it is obvious that he has lost his breath not long ago.
Xue Muyan sighed slightly.
Are you still a step too late......
But in this case...... What about those cries for help?
Just as Xue Muyan was thinking calmly, a strange voice came to her ears from a telephone pole not far away:
"Nine...... Eighteen...... One...... Child...... Seventeen...... Delete...... Filthy ......"
This overlapping, buzzing voice reported to her a bunch of random words.
At this moment, the "telephone pole" in front of him suddenly moved strangely, and with indescribable strange steps, he walked down the hill and strode towards several people.
"All on alert!"
Xue Muyan looked at the monster that was gradually approaching and shouted.
Of course, without her reminder, several other people had already launched a defensive posture as if facing a great enemy.
As the strange black shadow gets closer and closer, this monster resembling a telephone pole gradually reveals its full picture:
It was a humanoid creature about fifty feet tall, scrawny and covered in very shriveled, mummy-like flesh the color of rusty metal.
His limbs were disproportionately long and thin, his arms were as long as his legs, and his hands ended in a pair of large, bony hands.
His head and neck were replaced by a slender rod of flesh attached to which two megaphone-like objects were attached, and several black wires were wrapped around his "neck" and entered his upper shoulders and pressed against his abdomen.
The speakers seemed to be metal parts of his body, and he just stared coldly at a few people, tendril-like skin fused around his neck, swirling around his neck like an owl's head.
At the same time, the ancient griffin clearly observed that it had long teeth, no lips or jaws, but an unbelievably long, retractable serpentine tongue.
"Save ...... Help me...... Help us, who will save us!"
The monster in front of him slowly recounted the sound that the few people had heard just now, and it was obvious that this guy was laughing at their recklessness.
Xue Muyan looked at the monster coldly, her steps back half a step back and bent slightly, the energy weapon in her hand was already faintly shining with blue light, once the monster made a move, she would take the lead in attacking.
"Don't be afraid, I'll save you now!"
Lin Yetian shouted, accelerated, and rushed towards the monster with his head bored.
Well...... Well???
The ancient griffin looked at Lin Yetian who was rushing straight away, and then suddenly looked at Xue Muyan.
Xue Muyan was silent for three seconds, and simply didn't bother to pay attention to the man's gaze, after all, she had already seen more sassy operations than this.
Xue Muyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and instantly opened her firepower, using countless blue laser cannons to attack the monster in front of her first.
"Boom, boom!"
A burst of blue cannon fire pierced through the fog and struck the monster's loudspeaker-like head with great precision.
The artillery fire gradually came to an end, and the monster that had just been invincible had been bombarded, and black blood soaked the surrounding tombstones.
"Wow, Xiaoyan, don't you know that murder is illegal!"
Lin Yetian was shocked.
"It's not human. Xue Muyan responded casually while carefully looking around, she didn't pay much attention to Lin Yetian's interruption now, because she always felt that there seemed to be something she hadn't considered.
The ancient griffin stepped forward and was a little strange after making sure that the monster was dead:
"If this monster is so weak, how can it kill this group of doomsday warriors if it wants to die?"
As soon as the words fell, Xue Muyan's pupils shrank suddenly, and she turned her head to look at the other telephone poles.
Sure enough, after a burst of black and emotionless sneering, the "telephone poles" twisted their strange steps and walked towards a few people murderously.
This large group of monsters is either Zhang Yang or Neimin, without exception, their hands are stained with red blood, and some of them even have chopstick-like hands interspersed with a few human eyeballs.
"This ...... This group of monsters ......"
Even Oliver had hardly seen such a large battle, and this rough estimate was three or four hundred.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
No matter how weak their ontology is, when they are united, they are still a force to be reckoned with.
There are so many monsters, and there is no meat on them, even if they are really all killed, it will be more than worth the loss.
Xue Muyan took half a step back, looked at the ancient trees around her, and suddenly an idea appeared in her heart, turned to Lin Yetian and smiled:
"You say...... What if we burned all this mountain and forest?"
"Will sit in prison. Lin Yetian said honestly.
Xue Muyan was silent.
