Chapter 181: The lights go out
Except for this monster, the other monsters also wandered around the entrance of the cave in fear, as if they wanted to enter, but no one dared to move and squeeze their bodies in.
In the end, these monsters could only watch us go away little by little, and I stared at the movements of these things in disbelief, and I always felt a little uneasy in my heart.
"There won't be a problem ahead, right?"
You know, these monsters don't dare to enter, even if they are smaller than us, obviously they can move faster than us, but they don't dare to enter this hole.
I can almost imagine that there must be an even more exotic monster behind this hole.
And just as I was thinking quietly, suddenly there was a roar and a shrill roar behind me.
Immediately after, the monsters stepped aside, and a giant white figure cruised past the entrance of the cave. A silvery green glow also faintly shimmered at the entrance of the cave, illuminating my visible vision.
I noticed a scarlet thing with a round hole blocking the entrance to the hole, and when I looked closely, I saw that it was the eye of the strange insect.
He was constantly peeking through the hole to see our movements and next moves, but he didn't mean to squeeze into it, just watched us quietly, as if watching us gradually crawl towards the grave.
I couldn't help but swallow dryly, and hurriedly urged the people in front of me to leave quickly, I was afraid that this thing would manipulate other monsters to follow up after a while, and then a few of us would kill ourselves.
Fortunately, the movement of several of them was not slow, the team kept moving forward, and the space here was expanding more and more.
Originally, the height of the entrance of this cave was not high, and probably only we could slowly move forward in it by bending down, so in order to speed up, we all crawled in and crawled forward on the ground.
The further you go inside, the more the space around you expands. At this point, the stone cave above our heads was two meters high, and almost all of us were able to walk upright normally.
We stumbled inside and touched the wet walls and moved forward, and every time I looked back, the lantern-like eyes were still standing in place, staring at us.
I kept feeling uneasy in my heart, and hurriedly grabbed Li Zhuang in front of me.
"Li Zhuang, why does that monster keep watching us?"
Li Zhuang glanced back, then waved his hand at me.
"Don't think about it so much, that thing's body is so big, he can't get in. He didn't even manipulate other monsters to attack us, indicating that there might be something in front of them that scared them. ”
Li Zhuang said, as if he saw the hesitation and fear on my face, so he gently comforted me.
"But you don't have to worry, these monsters aren't necessarily afraid of the more powerful guys, they're probably worried about some other stuff. For example, snakes are afraid of sulfur, and there are many things that they are afraid of, not just strong enemies. ”
I knew that Li Zhuang was comforting me, and wanted to ask me not to scruple about it, maybe it was some smell or something else in front that caused this strange insect to choose to stay outside instead of following me.
But these things are not necessarily harmful to us, and after hearing these words, the panic in my heart gradually calmed down.
I nodded, and continued silently picking up speed to follow them, when the front line suddenly stopped.
I was also forced to stop in this passage, and I couldn't help but look in front of the avatar, but there were a lot of people in our group, from the very beginning of the Wang family's team, and then expanded to join Li Ba, and then integrated into Wang Meng and his party.
Now we have enough of four waves of forces around our team, almost 20 or so people. With such a large team gathered in black, I could only vaguely see a white light from the front, slowly spreading along the crowd, but I couldn't see what was in front of me at all.
"Li Zhuang, go ahead and ask what's going on?"
I urged Li Zhuang, he nodded, and silently passed my question to the front.
After a long time, there was no response, but the team began to move forward at a slow pace as before.
I couldn't help but look back, and I don't know when, the monsters that had gathered at the entrance of the cave had all disappeared. And the scarlet eyes of the giant white worm that was snooping at us were not at the entrance of the cave at all.
It's pitch black outside, and it's impossible to see what's hidden in the dark, but how can things be so coincidental?
At the moment when the team stopped, the white giant insect monster outside suddenly disappeared, all of which made me feel a faint sense of unease.
However, without much thought, the procession had already moved on, and I did not dare to stay alone any longer, so I immediately followed.
As I continued to grope for the edge of the stone wall, I had a vague sense that there seemed to be something strange about it, and I looked up and saw that the stone wall above our heads was not completely flat.
The edges and corners of the stone wall began to appear some regular patterns, and the dragon and phoenix were carved in the center of the stone wall, which seemed to be carved with many strange beasts.
As these images gradually appeared, the bodies of these strange beasts began to appear in rich colors, and they used special pigments or rocks to inlay them, bringing the feathers and scales of these strange beasts to life.
As we continued, the eyes of these monsters were inlaid with dark or light beads, and in the darkness, there were faint layers of reflected light, which made people feel a little frightened.
Especially the further I crawled, the more strange I felt, as if there were countless pairs of eyes around me.
It seems that not only me, but Li Zhuang also seems a little uncomfortable, he is constantly observing the surroundings, and his eyes also show a vigilant look.
"Li Zhuang, how come the strange beasts above this wall look like they are alive?"
I couldn't help but tug at his arm and asked.
Li Zhuang stopped for a moment, then waved his hand at me and made a virtual gesture.
"Don't talk nonsense, there are some evil sects in this place, anyway, follow the one in front of you first, understand?"
Before I could reply, the lyre girl turned her head and stared at the two of us with deep eyes. I was startled by her gaze and involuntarily stopped.
I stammered a question.
"Lady Qin, why do you look at us like that? Is there something going on up ahead? ”
She nodded silently at us, then pointed to the position directly ahead.
"A little problematic, do you feel like the light in front of us is getting closer and closer?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then involuntarily asked a rhetorical question.
"The light is getting closer, what do you mean?"
The corners of the piano girl's mouth hooked up a sneer, and there was a bit of coldness in her eyes.
"We started by following the light of the leader, there were about 20 of us, and the passage was not winding in some places, but probably straight to the front. So I can probably count that there are ten lights in front of me, and there must be ten people with flashlights that can shine on us, helping us to illuminate them. ”
I nodded, and in the team of three of us, the piano girl was walking in front of us with a flashlight, helping the two of us to light the way.
In order to avoid being too wasteful, we worked in groups of 2 to 3 people, and each group had a flashlight in their hands to help us light the road ahead.
The piano girl then pointed to the front and asked me to count the lights in front of me.
"We'll make a turn halfway through, so there's no doubt that there will be fewer lights. After all, the lights will be blocked around the corner, and it is normal for the people behind us to not see it. ”
The piano girl said, a touch of coldness appeared on her face.
"But look at it now, how many lights are there ahead?"
I was stunned for a moment, then quickly skimmed over their bodies and looked ahead.
We've walked some distance ahead at this point, and there should be ten rays of light in front of us, but all I can see are five rays.
I froze in place, frowned and counted carefully to make sure I was not mistaken, there were only five rays of light in front of me.
The corners of my mouth curled stiffly, and I couldn't help but reply in a daze.
"We must have walked around the corner, right?"
The lyre girl looked back at me mockingly.
"I've been watching what is going on ahead and I know that we're not going around the corner. And just now I noticed that every few minutes, it seems like the lights in front of me go away. ”
As she spoke, the piano girl couldn't help but say, her body flashed forward, and then don't give me the way.
"If you don't believe me, you can walk ahead and see if anyone in the group has disappeared."
There was also a faint layer of uneasiness in my heart, and I immediately squeezed towards the front, and the team in front of the qin girl at this time was the old man Wang and his party.
At this time, Old Man Wang was walking directly in front of the piano girl, and beyond that was his granddaughter and his four bodyguards.
As the cave gradually expanded, it was barely possible to walk two people side by side, and I squeezed past them, and although the faces of several people showed some doubt, they quickly gave way to me.
And the few guys at the back obviously heard the suspicion of the piano girl, and their eyes involuntarily looked forward, and their faces showed a look of horror.
