Chapter 236: It

Strange noises came to me, and I turned my head to look at the soil next to me, and I saw many roots and grass-like things coming out of the soil and surrounding me, and I could only open my eyes and watch them crawl on top of me. &1t;/p>

I've heard that the ground where the dead have been buried is always fertile, and I wonder if these things use me as fertilizer to absorb nutrients. &1t;/p>

Normal plants don't move so quickly even if they absorb nutrients, and I think of man-eating flowers and pitcher plants, and I think they can't even eat living creatures, right? &1t;/p>

I have experienced the pain of being pierced by vines for a long time, and that time it happened suddenly, and the vines pierced into the chest like being pierced by a sharp sword, and the sharp pain produced was tantamount to cutting out the heart. &1t;/p>

These tendrils are different, they are like fine needles, densely and slowly piercing my skin, burrowing into the flesh and blood vessels, and even deep into the internal organs. &1t;/p>

I don't think anyone has ever experienced this feeling, being absorbed by a plant as a difference, and the psychological resistance and fear are more serious than the physical pain. &1t;/p>

I tried to send out the brainwaves calling for help, but there was still something blocking my transmission, and I could only lie underground and wait for myself to turn into a dried corpse or skeleton. &1t;/p>

The slow torture wears out the human will, but fortunately I have never lacked this thing, and every time I have been tempered by life and death, my will has been constantly strengthened. &1t;/p>

So my body was suffering, but my emotions remained calm, and I knew that I couldn't panic now, even if I watched myself become a dry bone, and my spirit couldn't collapse. &1t;/p>

Time is of the essence, I don't know how long I slept that night, but Gu Yu definitely won't let me go underground for too long, the air mask has a time limit, and he will pull me up on time to ventilate. &1t;/p>

My thoughts were shattered as the oxygen was exhausted, and the soil covering my body did not move at all, and Gu Yu did not pull me on time. &1t;/p>

But I consoled myself that perhaps due to excessive tension and increased breathing, oxygen consumption was faster than the scheduled time, and people in the underground would lose the concept of time, and calculations would be skewed, and darkness and silence would stretch time in the human brain. &1t;/p>

Maybe it's only been a moment on the ground, but I feel like a long time has passed in the ground, until the last breath of oxygen is gone, I can't think anymore, my brain starts to starve of oxygen, dizziness, suffocation, sleepiness, I bite the tip of my tongue hard to stay awake. &1t;/p>

There is no chance of hope to be saved, and I am even worried that Gu Yu has an accident on it, and my worries about him and my desire to live have reinvigorated my spirits. &1t;/p>

A seed buried in the ground also requires tenacious will and breakthrough to be reborn, and I concentrate all my energy, no longer externally, but internally. &1t;/p>

Examining myself, my interior was still empty, and in addition to the feeling of emptiness, I was also extremely weak because the nourishment on the surface of my body was rapidly draining. &1t;/p>

I need energy, and I give this spiritual command to myself. &1t;/p>

The human body is always wonderful, and I am making a concentrated and strong mental suggestion to myself, no, this situation should be said to be explicit, and it cannot be denied. &1t;/p>

My body was already in a weak position, allowing the roots to camp in my body and blood vessels, constantly sucking my nutrients and blood, I couldn't see my appearance, but it was probably semi-dry, I suddenly forced, my body still didn't move, but I had other feelings. &1t;/p>

I felt that the nutrients that had been sucked back by my body, and at the same time, there was another force that was inhaled into my body, like a nutrient solution that could nourish my life, and the empty body was refilled, I forgot to breathe, and then I realized that I no longer had to breathe, like all plants or creatures that grow underground, my lungs stopped working, and the pores of my whole body were breathing in another way, and I was like a deflated ball, which was re-blown, and the power came back to me endlessly. &1t;/p>

The tendrils began to tremble, as if they were suffering and wanted to retreat and flee, and I tensed up, my skin and muscles were all tense, and they were firmly stuck. &1t;/p>

It wasn't until I felt a comfortable energy in my body that I relaxed and let them go. &1t;/p>

I thought about twisting my body again, but this time there was an unexpected change, I moved, but it wasn't me, it was the soil around me that moved, so I moved with me. &1t;/p>

It was as if I was lying in a clay box, and someone was dragging the box to move me somewhere else. &1t;/p>

No wonder I couldn't move, it turned out that the surrounding soil layer had changed, so I said that the newly dug soil layer could not be so strong, and Gu Yu did not cover me with the sealing soil. &1t;/p>

I was on a strange bus, I had no idea where it would take me, but I wasn't in a hurry and concentrated on studying the new energy in my body. &1t;/p>

This energy is different from the fire blue beads, and I am like a well-fed person, lazily waiting to digest the delicacies and convert them into the energy I need. &1t;/p>

The earth 'subway' drove for a while, and suddenly stopped, dragging me deeper into the ground, and I thought about why Gu Yu didn't dig me on time, not that he didn't dig it, but that he didn't dig it. &1t;/p>

There was something that could move soil under this ravine, and it must have secretly dragged me away while I was asleep, and when Gu Yu dug up the sealed mound, all he saw was the empty soil layer. &1t;/p>

He must have been in a hurry and was looking for me, but I was being dragged deeper into the ground, and I didn't know if he could find him, so I had to prepare for both. &1t;/p>

After being dragged for an unknown amount of time, the soil layer finally stopped, and then there was a noticeable bump and a sense of suspension, and I should have been hanging somewhere. &1t;/p>

The soil gradually loosened and detached from me as if the ice and snow were melting, and my eyes remained open, and now the soil dissipated, and I saw a faint light around me. &1t;/p>

The light was soft and faint, with a faint purple tinge, and I turned my head and looked around, and the surrounding rocks contained a large amount of fluorescent stone that emitted purple light. &1t;/p>

I didn't study the various types of ores, so I only knew that they were bright and beautiful, but the roots of the plants sticking out of the crevices in the rocks around them diminished the beauty of the rocks. &1t;/p>

The roots were like the tentacles of some kind of monster, and the glimmering rocks were like the eyes of a monster, a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, very terrifying. &1t;/p>

This underground cavern is about fifty square meters in size, but it is full of those roots, and it is likely that they are the ones who dragged me over. &1t;/p>

"Is this the stomach of a dryad?" Observing the shape of the cavity, I couldn't help but mutter, my lungs working again, and I breathed in the damp, putrefined air, sliding from the bump of the rock wall where I was to the bottom of the cavity. &1t;/p>

The shape of this cavity is very similar to that of the human stomach, and there is a hole entrance at the bottom, which resembles a pylorus connecting the stomach to the duodenum. &1t;/p>

I looked up and saw that if there was a pylorus under the 'stomach', there should be a squirt door above, which is where the esophagus is connected. &1t;/p>

Sure enough, there was a hole above the hollow, and from that hole hung a lot of tendrils, probably the passage through which I had just been transported. &1t;/p>

Is this feeling that 'chewing' doesn't move me, swallows me directly into my stomach and digests it? &1t;/p>

It occurred to me that I might be in the belly of some large, unknown creature, and while it was a bit outrageous, it should work pretty much the same. &1t;/p>

Since Ah Kun said that the corpses buried here decay slowly, indicating that they had dug up the dead people buried in the soil, then I was transported into this hollow, eighty percent of which is a special case, and perhaps 'it' did not encounter a scoundrel corpse like me, and instead of providing it with nourishment, it robbed it of its energy. &1t;/p>

To prove that 'it' existed, I fumbled around, pulled out the dagger from my waist, and cut off the roots that crawled all over the rock wall, trying to see what was hidden behind them besides the rocks. &1t;/p>

These tendrils have changed their previous 'enthusiasm', and the hands that touch me all retreat backwards or to the side, and I have to hold on to them tightly to cut off some of them. &1t;/p>

"It's not time to stab me, huh?" I muttered to myself as I severed the writhing roots of my hands, writhing like living things. &1t;/p>

Cutting and cutting, I found a hole in the rock wall, and this hole did not look like a natural formation, but as if it had been dug by man! &1t;/p>

Hey, I said in my heart, who is this? Scooped the monster out of the stomach and perforated it? &1t;/p>

Thinking that there might be someone trapped here like me before, I felt a little more steady, since there were predecessors who opened the way, how could I not keep up, so I climbed to the edge of the hole, grabbed the surrounding roots and borrowed into it. &1t;/p>

It can only accommodate one person in it, and if you want to turn around, you can't do it, and if you want to go back, you can only retreat back as it is, and I don't know how that person dug this hole in the first place. &1t;/p>

The cave is also crawling with roots, which could be 'its' blood vessels or nerves, literally everywhere. &1t;/p>

The angle of the hole is inclined upward, the distance is not long, the exit is open on the stone wall of another huge hollow, fortunately, the structure of the hole is not all rocks, there is a gap between the rocks and the rocks, of course, this person's technique of drilling the hole is also first-class, if you dig the whole big stone halfway, the first half is equal to digging in vain. &1t;/p>

The huge hollow rock wall also has the same kind of purple stone that glows, but in the center of the hollow, there is a large creature full of roots, or rather, wrapped in roots. &1t;/p>

This thing moved and moved, as if it were ...... It's like a huge heart! &1t;/p>

However, it moved very little, more like a person's chest rising and falling slightly after falling asleep, and I walked towards it while paying attention to the movement around me. &1t;/p>

It seemed to sense something, and the beating increased a little, and I looked around and saw that there were no living people or bones, but there were no other exits. &1t;/p>

The one who dug the hole and came in, where did he go after he came in? I muttered to myself, walked over to the heart, and kicked it. &1t;/p>

It didn't react, and there was no defense mechanism around it, so I reached out and grabbed the roots on it and pulled it down, because the body was full of 'electricity', and the strength had been restored, and in a few clicks I tore off a piece of the roots. &1t;/p>

A thick layer of dirt fell on the roots, and before I could shake off the dust, a blood-red face fell out from behind the roots and almost hit me in the face. &1t;/p>

&1t;/p>
