Chapter Thirty-Seven: Ottaman Fights the Little Monster
Standing on the cliff wall in front of the stone beam, everyone saw that there were paths on the left and right that extended to the side, which were relatively narrow and narrow, and they could not decide where to go for a while, and they were worried about the large number of terrifying reptiles like black water behind them. We're all standing here, thinking about where to go!
Julia felt a pain in her toes at this time, this feeling had been a long time, and now that she calmed down, the pain became more and more obvious, I was afraid that some worms were pricking her feet, so she looked down and saw nothing! So she squatted down and shouted to Yang Yao to help her take a look!
Yang Yao took out a flashlight and shone it, only to see that Julia had taken off her shoes and socks, one little foot was slender and white, and the tips of her toes were stained with blood, as if she had been pierced by something sharp! Julia inhaled in pain, looked closely, her feet were clean, and she turned her shoes over and knocked them over, but there was still nothing in them, just a little smell!
In the midst of her doubts, Julia noticed that her toes had grown long, and had bent into the flesh between the adjacent toes, and she felt very strange, and when she looked at her hands again, she saw that her fingernails had also become longer, as if she hadn't cut her nails for a month! At this time, he complained to himself: those who have been chased and chased for so many days have not paid attention to their personal image!
Yang Yao saw that Julia was looking at her feet and reaching out again, so she subconsciously looked at her hands. At this look, I was also frightened: I saw that my fingernails had also grown, which was really strange! It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case in just a few days, and the metabolism is too fast! I couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "tsk" in my mouth!
Seeing this, Julia simply sat on the ground, still letting Yang Yao turn on the flashlight, she rummaged through her bag for a while, took out a first-aid kit, and rummaged through it for a while, hoping to find a pair of nail clippers, and finally gave up! I muttered in my heart: This first aid kit is simply anti-human, can't you put a nail clipper, so empty, it can't accommodate such a gadget! In desperation, I had to take out a small pair of scissors, endure the pain, pick out the toenails that were stuck in the flesh, and slowly cut them!
When Qiu Long and the others saw this, they looked at each other one after another! I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it! I saw that Scar's beard was fluffy, as if he had grown a good hair! In addition to being embarrassed and haggard, Ah Chen and the other men were all bearded, long, and their hair was very messy!
Qiu Long reached out and touched his chin, and immediately felt something in his hand, a lock of beard like a plant breaking through the soil in the greenhouse, it felt very good to touch!
Several people looked at each other and laughed, and they all felt embarrassed, and they were also drunk! Everyone simply has a sense of vicissitudes of life!
Ah Chen raised his wrist and wanted to see the current time! From the time the safe house came down the tunnel to the present, he also felt that there was an extra day to talk about, and in the enclosed space underground, if there was no time marking, it was easy to make people lose their sense of space! I saw the hour hand of the watch slowly turning, it seems that the watch is broken!
Ah Chen asked Xiang Laosan: "Laosan, see what time it is?" ”
The third child raised his bearded face, looked at his watch, his face became puzzled, stretched out his other hand, patted his watch vigorously, and said, "The watch is broken!" ”
Ah Chen asked, "Is the hour hand getting faster?" ”
Lao Sanqi said: "How do you know? Is your watch running out too? ”
Ah Chen's face became solemn, and he asked Xiang Qiulong: "Brother Long, how long do you estimate it has been since we came down from the safe house?" ”
Qiu Long didn't know why, and thought for a while: the tunnel under the safe house, from the tunnel into the underground to the stone forest, and then to the hall where the giant is located, these places, plus the time to rest, everyone panicked, it is estimated that it is a day or a day and a half. It's exciting and terrifying, but no one notices how long it takes!
So he said, "It's about a little more than a day!" ”
Ah Chen asked, "If a normal person's hair and beard are not cut, how long will it take to grow to our current length?" ”
Scar said, "Half a month!" "He has the most right to speak, the beard is his trademark, the whole body can be shown to people, he likes this beard the most, basically at least two days to trim it. At this length, it would take at least half a month to become like this!
"This is the strange part, let's see if the fingernails, toe covers, etc. have also become longer!" Ah Chen asked in a trembling voice!
Everyone stretched out their hands to lift their feet, and at a glance, sure enough, just like Julia and Yang Yao, if it weren't for Julia's foot pain, I guess everyone wouldn't have found out immediately!
Scar looked puzzled but said with certainty: "There's a problem here!" Speaking of this, my stomach suddenly became hungry, so I walked towards the third child, and the food was still in the third child's backpack!
The third child took out the food, distributed it to everyone, and ate it slowly!
Ah Chen said: "The weirdness in this, we really can't think of it!" If I hadn't looked at the time, I wouldn't have felt it! Raise your wrist and let everyone look at the pointer on it, and the same is true for the third child, who can see that the hour hand is moving slowly at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye!
Everyone took a breath of cool air, and the glasses said worriedly, "Could it be that we have all fallen into the time vortex?" ”
Qiu Long pondered, "This place is indeed unusual, everything around it is beyond the scope of human cognition! What we have seen and experienced so far is enough to show that this is a completely different place from the human world! Whether it's the time vortex mentioned by the glasses, or the influence of that ball of light, it has already affected our normal body functions anyway! ”
Yang Yao said: "This short day, it seems to have passed about half a month, if it weren't for the urgency of us being chased, I don't know how long this bit of food can last!" Maybe you'll be starving and lying down! ”
The third child asked: "If that's the case, then we have eaten so many times, but we don't feel dizzy from hunger, what's going on?" ”
Everyone chattered, and countless questions blurted out!
Seeing this, Qiu Long said, "Okay! All right! Have you seen less of the oddities along the way? Again, we are not sightseeing tours, nor are we archaeological expeditions, these things are safe when we have time, and it is not too late to have a tea party and study them slowly! ”
"For now, let's first determine the route forward, or a purpose, get out of this place quickly! If you stay any longer, you will probably become an old man and an old lady, and you will soon sleep with these giants! Also, the black worms in the back are estimated to crawl over soon! ”
As the saying goes, there is more experience in leveling up and fighting monsters! But in the past few days, Qiu Long has gained more experience in escaping for his life, but he is only tired of fighting monsters, and when it comes to upgrading, Qiu Long feels that his age is indeed about to upgrade!
After some discussion, everyone divided up to look for the traces left by the giant's activities. After a while, they gathered together again and summarized and analyzed what they had found. For the first time, I saw things like iron axes and iron rods on the narrow roads on the left and right, scattered scattered! However, there are more discards on the stone beam in front, and a complete giant skeleton is also seen!
Everyone analyzed that the traces of this giant did not seem to go to the sides much, but the stone beam showed that it was the main passage! Regardless of whether these giants came from Shiliang at that time, or went out from here, there is no turning back now, only Shiliang still has some hope! It's just that the sad and mournful cries under the stone beam, everyone should be careful, according to the previous experience, try not to make a sound, it should be avoidable!
Go to both sides, I really don't have a little bottom in my heart!
So everyone packed their bags again and took stock of the only remaining supplies in their backpacks! You can still eat a few times if you save some food, but the bullets in your hand are about to run out, and there are still a few grenades left!
This time, Qiu Long and Scar were in front with guns, and everyone distanced themselves, and Lao San and Ah Chen walked last!
The stone beams appear to be naturally formed, about two meters wide, and the top is so uneven that you can faintly see the opposite side when you stand on it. A few tall stone pillars under the stone beams stretch down to the magma! The slowly flowing magma flows to the left around the base of the pillar!
Where I walked, I saw huge iron axes and iron rods scattered on the soles of my feet, Scar tried to take it, and felt that it was heavy and abnormal, and grabbed a handful of rust in his hand, and after trying it a few times, Scar gave up!
The whole space was red and kind, and everyone walked on it, and their bodies were wrapped in it, as if there was no other color in the whole world except red, except black!
Just on the stone beam, everyone is cautious, the timid can only look straight ahead, or the back of the person in front, don't dare to look under the soles of the feet, the feeling of dizziness is really terrifying, in case of falling down, it is simply no hair!
A few black shadows were still flying around under the stone beam, and everyone was also cautiously bypassing the iron axes, iron rods, and giant skeletons that stood in the way, and slowly moved forward!
Ah Chen walked at the end, always worried that those black dead things would follow quietly, and he always felt the sound of crawling behind him, basically turning around in two steps, turning his brain dizzy! In fact, he knew that the would definitely follow, but sooner or later!
Sure enough, when he turned around again, he saw a puddle of black stuff flowing like flowing water again! He sighed secretly and shouted in a low voice: "Third child, the black worm is coming up!" You light the torch! ”
This whisper was quite startling in the silence, and the people in front of it also heard it!
Qiu Long and the others slowly increased their speed, and asked Scar to go back to support, dragging the black worm, he was worried that maybe the loud noise would provoke those strange birds under the stone beam!
The tide of black insects crawled extremely fast, and the stone beams were narrow, and those crawling on the edge fell off the stone beams one after another, sliding like sticky asphalt to the magma below!
After hearing the bang, the third child lit the torch and handed it to Ah Chen! Ah Chen borrowed it and swung it towards his feet, and immediately forced the black worm that had reached the soles of his feet back, but he was pushed over by the swarming from behind, and when they met on a narrow road, the black worms had no room to retreat!
The black insects in the vicinity were forced by the torches to fall off the stone beams! Scar flashed his glasses and asked them to pass over, and ran towards Ah Chen! Seeing that the black insects in front of him were coming forward one after another, fierce and abnormal, the entire stone beam in front of Ah Chen had been completely dyed black!
At this time, Qiu Long and the others had already run halfway through! But the situation in front of him is very critical, and there are already individual black worms crawling on the clothes of the third child!
Seeing that the torches could no longer be stopped, Ah Chen shouted: "Shoot!" In an instant, the sound of gunfire resounded throughout the space!
The strange birds chirping under the stone beam have been startled when the third child lit the torch, after a gunshot! A few strange birds screamed and quickly listened to the sound and light from under the stone beam, and flew over in circles!
In front of him, the dragon heard the strange cry of a strange bird like a frightened nest, and he knew something was wrong! He stopped, turned around and shouted behind him, "Scar, you guys fight and retreat!" He also instructed them to pay attention to concealment and fight back in time!
But seeing the sound of the gunshot, the black splashed everywhere, and the rocks fell down one by one, thinking that the rocks of thousands of years could no longer resist the impact of the guns!
At this time, a gust of wind hit overhead, and everyone quickly lowered their bodies and quickly lay on the stone beam! The glasses at the front felt a gust of hot wind blowing on their backs, and the mournful cry was simply soul-wrenching!
A giant bird flew along the stone beam towards Ah Chen from the side of the dragon, the wide wings were several meters long, seeing that Ah Chen was still shooting forward with his back, the third slammed Ah Chen, at this time a pair of giant claws of the giant bird brushed the back of the third child, and the clothes of the third child were cut in an instant, and the white back meat was exposed, and it was almost disemboweled!
The third child immediately felt a cold back, and felt sad in his heart: I will explain here today! With a twist in his heart, he stood up suddenly, raised his gun and shot at the giant bird, until all the bullets in the gun were gone!
I saw a giant bird fluttering a pair of fleshy wings, screaming with a long beak, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and planting its head towards the black stone beam! Everywhere he went, black splashed, and the black insects on the stone beam were cleared out of a path by the fall of the giant bird, and they fell down one after another! Some of the rocks that had been cracked by the bullets were also carried down in an instant!
Ah Chen and the three of them immediately got up and ran towards Qiu Long's side quickly!
I saw two giant birds flying up and down under the stone beam, stretching out their long beaks to peck at the black insects that fell off the stone beam, feasting on them, and they couldn't care about a few people on the beam at all! The strange bird lying on the stone beam raised its head at this moment and quickly pecked at the delicious food in its mouth, not at all interested in the person who shot him just now!
More black worms poured out of the hole, through the stone beams, and climbed onto the body of the giant bird, and more crawled towards this side! The giant bird was pierced and screamed, and finally couldn't hold on, flapping its fleshy wings and falling from the stone beam, black insects fell from it one after another, and still many of their tentacles were deeply pierced into the bird's body, and a pair of meat wings were drilled out of the dense holes, the bird could not fly, and finally wrapped in a black worm, fell into the hot magma, and instantly turned into a trace of green smoke!
The two giant birds that were pecking up and down were also entangled in the bodies of the falling black worms at this moment, and their sharp tentacles pierced into the flesh one by one, making them stop screaming!
When the three of them ran over, Qiu Long also rushed over, and saw that the third child was barebacked, and his white flesh was shining red, he was very shocked, and he didn't hurt his fur, so he was a little relieved!
Qiu Long saw that this would be the time when the birds and insects were in full swing, and it was also the best time to retreat! I also saw that although the giant bird was fierce, it couldn't resist the huge number of black insects, and gradually fell behind! A black color was slowly approaching this side, so he stopped talking, and quickly turned around and ran forward with a few people!
The two giant birds were no match for the black worm, screaming again and again, and seeing a few people running on the stone beam, they didn't seem to have the sharp iron claws of the black worm. Then he turned his wings and flew towards a few people!
Like a roaring cannonball, when the two giant birds flew towards this side with a loud cry, everyone lay down in advance, and when a gust of hot wind flew over everyone's heads, everyone got up again and ran forward without a price.
Gunshots rang out again, and they began to shoot at the giant bird!
They had already run over the stone beams and stood on the opposite side!
There are flesh-winged monster birds on it, and iron-limbed black spiders below, and it is really dangerous in front of everyone, and their lives are in danger!
