Truly.

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but nodded, he had the same idea.

The personality that some people usually display will be very different from how they behave when they encounter a serious situation. People who seem brave and powerful show cowardice when they are in danger; On the other hand, people who are usually ordinary may burst out with amazing courage in the face of fear.

But Ji Chunzao is the type that is completely the same as the inside and the outside, and it has not changed even if it has been on another planet, which is undoubtedly enviable.

To be honest, Yan Jingxing is very nervous right now: exploring and adventuring in the ruins left behind by a huge alien civilization has never even appeared in the most ridiculous dream he has ever had! But suddenly it became a reality in front of me, and I was caught off guard.

Every time he saw the strange murals and sculptures that belonged to alien civilizations, he felt uncomfortable.

He could also see that Miss Xie was as nervous as he was, and although she tried her best to keep herself calm, there was a sense of worry in her tone and eyes when she spoke.

The only one of the three who can maintain normalcy is Haruzamo.

Of course, Xie Yuzhi may mean more than praise - this attitude can be said to be brave and optimistic, or it can be said to be heartless.

But Ji Chunzao obviously only understood in a good direction, and when she felt that she was being praised, she proudly compared a "yes!" to her peers. gestures.

"Don't worry, nothing dangerous has happened in this place so far, right?"

Please, don't say that.

……

Young people continue to explore. The corridors seemed intricate, but they all converged in the same direction, and they soon found a new room at the end.

"The door to this room...... It doesn't seem to be able to open. ”

Yan Jingxing tried to pick up the door, but this time there was no gap.

He turned and looked back, and if they couldn't open the door, they would have to go back.

The atmosphere of this place is no different from the rest of the place, the walls and floor are uneven with flesh and blood, like the inside of the cavity of some kind of large creature; And in the three corners of the room, there are machines similar to chairs.

"Three more ......" Yan Jingxing turned around and found that there were indeed no other entrances and passages, "Could it be that you want us to sit on it?" ”

Behind the chair are pulsating blood vessels, which bulge from beneath the surface, forming bones under the cover of the walls, and finally leading all the way to the door.

"Is this the teleporter that sent us to this planet?"

"It doesn't look the same."

Xie Yuzhi was cautious, and reached out to stop Ji Chunzao and told him not to approach.

"Be careful, maybe if you get closer, you'll trigger the trap."

……

"Wait."

Yan Jingxing was about to leave this room and look for any other way, but at this moment, he suddenly stopped.

For he felt as if he were in the ruins of this empty and silent palace, hearing voices other than the three of them.

Outside the room was a long hallway, and the ends were drowning in darkness where they couldn't see their fingers.

When I came, everyone talked and laughed, and I didn't think it was scary at all; But if you stand here and look around, your heart will start to grow hairy.

The terrifying, incomparably strange alien landscapes and the pale, faceless and upright alien sculptures that he saw in the murals on the road seemed to come to life in his mind at this moment.

Yan Jingxing squatted down and tried to listen.

This time it was certain that in a corner not far away, some strange movement sounded.

The sound was rustling at first, like rats spinning around in the walls of an old house, and it was unnoticeable, but ......

"What's wrong with you?"

The two girls noticed something strange and hurried to his side.

Yan Jingxing shuddered, and while looking around, he whispered to the two companions:

"Did you hear me?"

If he was on Earth, he might have subconsciously ignored the past, but this is another planet.

After all, is there really such an animal as rats in this place? So far, they haven't even seen flies and mosquitoes.

Ji Chunzao and Xie Yuzhi squatted by the door in his mimicry, trying to confirm the source of the voice, and quickly got an answer.

The young people looked at each other, their expressions a little stiff.

Yan Jingxing held back the thought of fear and looked into the depths of the corridor.

- What the hell is that?

*

He bowed down and walked slowly.

Yan Jing walked in the front because he felt that he was the only boy and should have behaved braver, but this was obviously not recognized by his companions - if he hadn't walked out first, he would definitely bump into Xie Yuzhi or Ji Chunzao first.

He heard the footsteps of the two of them following behind, and he couldn't say what he wanted them to do in the room.

As the distance to the source of the sound became closer and closer, the strange movement suddenly stopped for a while.

But they soon saw something else.

"That's ......"

"Look at this, are they the spirit leeches you are talking about......?"

Xie Yuzhi suppressed her voice, her face turned slightly pale, and she clenched the wrist of her other hand with one hand, trying to avoid screaming.

In contrast, the remaining two behaved more calmly, after all, it was not the first time they had seen it:

The hall leading to the hallway, where they had passed ten minutes earlier, had formed clusters of familiar monsters, "spirit leeches", which roamed the ground like snakes, leaving cold and sticky traces.

At first glance, I thought it was some kind of cold-blooded reptile, but as soon as I got closer, I saw countless wriggling heads on the surface.

"Can you see it?"

“…… Well. Miss Xie sighed slightly, "It looks a little more disgusting and terrifying than I imagined." ”

After meeting the astronauts, he can see alien creatures like Ji Chunzao; This was also true for Xie Yuzhi, because just a day earlier, they had witnessed a huge monster appearing in the clouds.

Experience has shown that it seems that if you see the real world once, you can see them all the time.

"How, what to do?"

Ji Chunzao asked in a low voice.

"Spirit leeches are blocking the intersection, and we can't seem to go back."

Xie Yuzhi stared at the actions of the insect groups for a while, and soon found that there was a certain pattern and scope implied in them.

"They seem to be patrolling this area, and it would be better to find a way to get around-"

"Boom."

Her words were interrupted.

A strange muffled sound rang out again, like someone beating a drum in the hall.

Yan Jingxing noticed that the ground under his feet was trembling, and for a while he felt like he couldn't stand on his feet.

"Knock...... Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The voice grew louder and closer, and he subconsciously held his breath, feeling like his own heartbeat.

“……！”

They were in the hallway that connected one side of the hall, which was littered with wriggling worms, and on the other side of the hall, smooth gray skin gradually emerged from the darkness, huge mouthparts opened in circles, and sharp teeth were all over it.

"It's a big ——!"

Ji Chunzao was amazed.

"Yes...... The leader of the spirit leeches? ”

Yan Jingxing felt that his hands and feet were trembling, especially when he saw the behemoth mouth emerging from the darkness, and he bit off the wall structure next to him in one bite, which was even easier than taking a bite of the cream cake.

But he managed to stand up, and one of them grabbed the hands of the two girls.

"Run!"

The three of them quickly retreated down the hallway.

The roar behind him grew louder and louder, and the huge leeches squeezed through the cavern, through the hallway, and into the hallway.

The mollusk, which was larger than all known terrestrial animals on Earth, snaked its way through the corridors, "rumbling" like a burgeoning machine.

The ground was jolting like a wave, dust was falling from the swaying ceiling, the passages were cracked, and the bloated, fat bodies almost filled the entire space.

The boys and girls managed to run back to the room before the giant leeches could catch up with them.

"Boom!"

The blue-gray sleek body quickly slid through the hole, like a subway train running through a tunnel.

Yan Jingxing hid in the corner of the room, watching all this happen in horror.

There was nowhere to hide in this room except inside the three devices, and it could be noticed immediately if it turned its neck.

He was short of breath and stiff, and he felt like he was about to faint, just like in a horror movie he had seen before.

It's humiliating, but ...... If it weren't for the little girl next to him clutching his sleeve, he might have passed out on the spot.

Whether it was Ji Chunzao or Xie Yuzhi, the two of them were all silent now, curled up, and stared at the entrance of the cave tightly.

After a while, the sound of "boom" faded away, and the surrounding movement gradually disappeared, and then they invariably exhaled in unison.

“…… Let's go? ”

He asked quietly.

"It should ...... But it's better not to go out just yet. In addition to the big guys, there are other leeches in the hall. ”

Xie Yuzhi furrowed her eyebrows.

"Looks like we're stuck here. It is impossible to go back the way you came, and it is also dangerous to find another way. ”

"Where did those guys come from?"

This is also the question Yan Jingxing wants to ask, on the way they came, it was obviously quiet everywhere, and the whole palace was more like a huge tomb; But suddenly, the monsters seemed to pour out from all corners in one go.

"Come to think of it, it looks like it's been since we walked into this room. Is it really because some kind of mechanism has been triggered? ”

"That'...... So what do we do next......? ”

Unconsciously, Yan Jingxing's gaze fell on the three devices in the room.

At this moment, his and Xie Yuzhi's eyes met.

“…… Can you just give it a try? ”

"There's no other way."

Miss Xie looked solemn.

"If the spirit leeches notice this room, we don't have any defense. Even if these devices don't make any sense, they can at least be used for hiding. ”

"Okay, let's go in and have a look."

Ji Chunzao volunteered and was the first to climb into the chair.

Then, under the gaze of the remaining two, the pelvis suddenly rose next to the "chair", and it was directly closed.

"Wait ......!"

It looked as if she had been eaten by the chair.

Yan Jingxing was taken aback, the little girl's movements were so neat that others had no time to stop them. He hurriedly rushed over and tapped the device's casing hard.

"Spring algae! Spring algae! Are you okay? ”

"I'm fine."

There was a muffled response from inside.

"Is there anything wrong with it?"

Xie Yuzhi also asked.

"No, it's just dark, there's no light, but it's quite comfortable to lie down...... Hah. ”

A yawn is heard from within the device.

"When I said that, I suddenly wanted to sleep, I was so sleepy......"

…… Can you feel sleepy at such a time?

Yan Jingxing felt that she was really amazing.

At that moment, his ears suddenly moved.

A strange sound accompanied by a tremor of the ground, and the familiar sound came from far and near......

Oh no, it's back again -

It seems that the huge leech turned around and crawled back after drilling around the palace!

"Jing Xing, let's hide first."

Xie Yuzhi tugged at his sleeve and reminded him softly.

"Okay."

Although he still had all kinds of doubts in his heart, there was no other way at the moment, he and Miss Xie chose a device to get into.

……

A few minutes later, giant leeches "rumbled" past the passage.

After another ten minutes, a certain wriggling insect mass circled around the device in the cave as it passed by, and then went out again.

Half an hour later, all three devices flashed red at the same time.

There was no sound, no one spoke, and the room was silent, as if all the boys and girls in the device were asleep.

The red light flowed like flowing blood, flowing down the veins to the floor and then up to the walls.

After absorbing the "blood": murals of spreading fungus and fleshy tissue, slowly protruding from the depths of the walls.

The stories they tell seem to be a follow-up to the frescoes in the hall:

……

Three alien dwellers walked into a forest, and from the pillar of flesh that stood in the middle of the forest, they dug out a total of three things: two eyes, and a spinal cord.

The pillar of flesh collapsed, and they returned to their original tribe.

After this was done, the three alien dwellers seemed to have great power and exalted status on this planet, and they were surrounded and surrounded by countless people of their kind, leading armies, stepping into palaces, and stepping onto thrones......
