Chapter 44: The Underground Altar
Maybe it was because the well water was too cold, or it could be the effect of Situ Shize's essence and blood, and not long after the two jumped into the well, Su Shu opened her eyes. Situ Shize looked at the originally charming Su Shu, and the corpse spots on his face did not decrease at this time. Situ Shize knew that she still needed time, and hiding in the well was not a long-term solution, maybe the walking corpse would fall from the sky and smash on the two of them.
"Are you awake? can you do it yourself, I'll go down and see what's going on down the well." Situ Shize looked at the weak Su Shu and said softly, he knew that he couldn't leave Su Shu behind at this time, but when there was no way out, Situ Shize could only gamble.
Su Shu reflected, nodded slowly, grabbed the gap in the wall of the well, and signaled that Situ Shize was okay. Without hesitation, Situ Shize could only race against time to find a way out at this time.
The well water was very dark and there was no light, so Situ Shize could only hold on to the wall of the well while going downstream. Suddenly, Situ Shize's right hand was empty, and the wall that was supposed to exist was broken at this moment. The fracture was wide, as if it had been carved out by hand, and inside was a pitch-black passage. Situ Shize did not enter the depths of the passage, but touched the wall at the entrance of the passage, the wall was made of ancient green bricks, and the walls seemed to be covered with plants such as moss, and the tentacles were very slippery.
"Plop, plop!" There was the sound of something falling into the water like a well, Situ Shize was shocked, and hurriedly swam to the surface of the water, he knew that finally a walking corpse had fallen into the well. didn't swim far, Situ Shize met Su Shu who was struggling downstream.
Situ Shize grabbed Su Shu and swam to the side of the passage, and not long after entering the passage, Su Shu had already begun to choke on water. Although Su Shu's water nature is good, the pain on her back has always tormented her, and with Su Shu's current weak condition, it is really not easy to hold on to this.
Feeling the discomfort of Su Shu beside him, Situ Shize hugged her and swam into the depths of the passage mouth to mouth. This ancient passage was slowly upward, about a hundred meters out, and the two of them climbed out of the water with difficulty. The two of them lay on the ground and gasped for a long time, but there were no walking corpses behind them, and Situ Shize was relieved.
"You wait here for a while, I'll go in and see what's going on inside, the walking corpse shouldn't be able to chase here. In the dark, Situ Shize touched Su Shu's side and whispered.
Su Shu only weakly agreed, lying on the ground and not moving. Situ Shize knew that he couldn't delay time now, and he had to find a safe place to settle Su Shu.
Holding on to the wall, Situ Shize walked with difficulty in the passage where he couldn't see his fingers, and after a few steps, Situ Shize's whole person hit a wall, and when he touched it around, Situ Shize seemed to have entered a dead end, except for the walls up and down behind him and left and right and in front of him.
"Grass, how is it possible!" Situ Shize began to become anxious, no matter who he was, after staying in the dark confined space for a long time, he would have anxiety and fear in his heart.
"No, if there is no road here, there should be no oxygen in the passage, this passage is very old, if it is closed, there will be no oxygen, but more toxic gases. Situ Shize thought to himself. Having made up his mind, Situ Shize raised his fist and used his strength to eat, and slammed his fist on the wall in front of him.
Situ Shize's wall seemed to be a whole rock, and Situ Shize's punch did not shatter the wall, but pierced the stone wall, and a faint light came from the other side of the stone wall. Situ Shize found that on the other side of the stone wall was a secret chamber similar to an underground altar, the secret room was octagonal, each wall had some vague murals, and a stone pillar was erected in each of the eight directions, and some very abstract animals were carved on the stone pillar. An altar was set up in the center of the eight pillars, and the altar was also octagonal, and above the altar hung a huge night pearl, the size of two adult men's fists, and the night pearl emitted a faint blue light, illuminating the entire room.
Situ Shize didn't wait long, and after finding that there was no danger inside, he turned back and touched Su Shu's side. At this time, Su Shu fell into a coma again, and Situ Shize carried her to the side of the secret room. After a burst of punches and kicks, Situ Shize broke through the wall with Su Shu on his back, although he knew that there must be a mechanism on this wall that could be opened and closed, but Situ Shize, who was not in the mood, did not recommend using this violent way to solve all problems.
Helping Su Shu into the secret room, Situ Shize didn't dare to say that she put it on the altar, who knows what is strange about this altar, and at a glance, he knows which unknown cult place this is before. Situ Shize put Su Shu on the side away from the passage, and never left Su Shu's body.
"Old man, how is her condition?" Situ Shize asked the Law Maker as he looked around to observe the situation in the secret room.
"It's not very good, the G-virus and the walking corpse virus are devouring each other, just like when you were injured, the G-virus can't outperform each other, and she is now full of this walking corpse virus. The old man said unoptimistically.
"Is there any other way?" Situ Shize said anxiously.
"There's a way to give it a try, but even if it succeeds, I can only guarantee that she won't die, and it's up to her luck to become a monster or a human. The old man thought for a moment and said.
"Say it. Situ Shize said with some despair.
"You take out the life crystal of the mutated walking corpse, I have seen this crystal, there are no genetic fragments on it, but there is still energy in it that is of the same origin as the energy of the black water arrow he shot, and it is very mild and does not contain toxins. The reason why the walking corpse's attack is poisonous should be related to its mutation, and the combination of the two is what makes the black water arrow so tricky. All you need to do is absorb this life crystal, and then I will help you transfer the ability you absorb to Su Shu in its original form, so that she can get the origin energy of the mutated walking corpse, so that she may be able to control the toxins in her body. But in this way, your consumption is very large, so it is recommended that you absorb a third-level walking corpse life crystal before this, so that you have a greater grasp of completing the transfer of energy, but you have to be fast, I am afraid that Su Shu will not be able to withstand the torture of the two viruses, and eventually her body will collapse. The old man said.
Situ Shize didn't think much about it, nodded and sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the life crystals of the third-level walking corpse, and as he replenished his energy, Situ Shize's state began to slowly recover. And Su Shu on the ground is getting worse and worse, her body has begun to twitch slightly, her face is getting worse and worse, and the corpse spots that have stopped growing are slowly spreading again.
