Chapter 6: The Aftermath (II)
Yin He took a step back, but at this moment, in vain, he suddenly heard a strange scream, sharp and piercing, and from the worm egg, something rushed out, and pounced directly on his hand holding the torch, instantly wrapped around his wrist, and then a sharp pain came from his arm.
Yin He screamed, looked at it fixedly, and instantly felt creepy, only to see that it was a child's half-wrist-sized insect wrapped around his wrist, opening its mouth to bite his wrist, and at the same time seemed to be trying to drill into his flesh.
At that moment, Yin He only felt a chill all over his body, roared instinctively, shook his wrist hard, and then the short sword in his hand slashed down directly.
I only heard a "buzz" sound, and the insect fell to the ground in response.
Yin He took two steps back in a row, watching the insects on the ground curl up together, twisting weakly, and there seemed to be no greater danger, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked at his left wrist.
At this sight, he was suddenly shocked, only to see that there was a finger-sized wound on his wrist, and a miserable green color was spreading from the wound, spreading towards the rest of his wrist, and it was not long before a large green spot formed between his wrist and elbow.
These changes were all made in an extremely fast time, and Yin He didn't even have time to react more.
Of course, he didn't know anything about this bug and this weird green spot, and there would be no better way for a while.
It's just that there is suddenly such a large green markings on his wrist, which looks really a little crazy, and no one believes it if it doesn't look like it's poisoned, and Yin He's heart sank to the bottom at that moment.
However, after a while, Yin He found that he didn't seem to have any signs of death, and the terrifying-looking green spot didn't seem to have any other side effects.
This attack, at least for now, except for the finger-sized wound, there will be some pain, that is, the skin has changed color, and there is no other reaction for the time being.
Yin He was also surprised in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what was going on, but since the situation had not deteriorated for the time being, he was relieved. After standing there and muttering for a moment, he stepped forward, kept himself away, and used his short sword to flick the insects in the ground again.
Under the light of the torches, this time he finally saw the whole picture of the insect clearly, in addition to the disgusting face, Yin He suddenly found that there was a pair of wings on the back of the insect, and the chest and abdomen did not have six or eight legs and feet like most insects, but only limbs.
It's like the terrible monster I just saw outside.
Yin He's face sank, at this moment, he quickly figured out something, the insect eggs in front of him seemed to be the descendants of the mysterious monster before, at least there was an inseparable connection between the two.
And is it because it is necessary to lay eggs, so that the unknown weird monster will suddenly appear and attack the people here in Qingyu?
Either way, Yin He was full of disgust at this, but he soon found that the insect larvae that had just attacked him seemed to be struggling in pain on the ground, twisting its body, as if it was undergoing unbearable torture, and at the same time gradually approaching death.
But there's nothing around to attack it.
Yin He slowly stood up and looked around, suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and then raised his head and looked at the high dome.
Green Jade Stone, this completely enclosed green jade place built by green jade!
No matter how powerful the adult monster is, Qingyu still has a strong restraint against all the demonic beasts in this inner ring land. The larvae of this insect were in this green jade place, and it was obviously attacked by the strong power of green jade, which directly caused it to be in a dying state, and indirectly explained why the insect egg showed a shriveled appearance just now.
At that moment, Yin He suddenly had a feeling of relief in his heart, he glanced at the insects on the ground coldly, suddenly sneered, and directly pressed the torch in his hand!
For a moment, only the terrible cry of "squeak" was heard, and after a while, the voice fell silent. When the torches were removed, all that remained on the ground was a mass of charcoal.
Yin He then began to search all the corpses in the green jade house, and finally found a total of five similar insect eggs, and he killed these dangerous creatures one by one without mercy, and the burning flames purified all the demons.
After searching several times and confirming that there was no more danger, Yin He walked to the depths of the Qingyu Institute with a little tiredness, found a clean place to sit down, extinguished the torch, and sat down quietly in the dark.
He stared coldly at the darkness in front of him, and he didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep in an indescribable tiredness.
......
People often have nightmares when they are extremely tired or in an extremely restless mood, and Yin He is no exception.
He had nightmares, and not just one, several. The dreams were so horrible that he didn't even want to think about them when he woke up.
As darkness enveloped him, when he felt himself breathing again, at that moment, his whole body seemed to relax.
He reached out and touched the wrist of his left hand, which seemed to feel the same as usual, except for an additional wound. He couldn't see it in the dark, but he thought maybe the green spot was still there.
Until now, he had shown no signs of death, nor did he feel tingling and rotting on his wrists, and the consequences of that terrible attack seemed to have only changed the color of a piece of skin on his hand.
Yin He always felt that that terrible creature shouldn't seem so vulnerable, but at least it was better to be like this than to be really poisoned for now.
On the bright side, perhaps it was the ubiquitous power of the jade that permeated this magical jade that suppressed the terrifying bug and prevented its toxicity from taking effect.
After temporarily finding such an excuse for his injury, Yin He's nerves were tense and he was temporarily relieved, but soon, he began to think about his current situation.
His situation is very bad, at present, it seems that he is trapped in this green jade place, and the outside has been killed by that unknown terrifying monster is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and what is even more desperate is that because the green jade is sealed, he has no idea what the situation is outside at this time.
Has the monster been gone, or is it standing outside the door?
Yin He didn't want to go out rashly, but he looked at this darkness, and his heart was a little miserable, because in this green jade place, even if he could stay a little longer, he couldn't stay here all the time.
Because after a long time, he will suffocate here.
※※※
In the Holy City outside the Inner Ring Land, when would he get the news here, Yin He was not sure about it, because when the previous incident happened, he felt that most of the people were dead. And even if someone survives by luck, in the current Inner Ring Land, or near this Heavenly Road, it is obviously a much more dangerous state than in the past.
The monster didn't know where it came from, but it was obviously likely to do the same for the other jades, as long as it could spot the other jades.
And even if the supreme elders in the Holy City learned of this news, how likely was it that they would immediately send the most powerful reinforcements and take great risks to go deep into the Inner Ring to fight this monster and rescue the Yin River trapped in the Fourteenth Green Jade Place?
Not to mention, maybe the Holy City Elders' side didn't know that there was still a living person in the Fourteen Green Jade Places.
At such a time, if someone on the other side of the Holy City says "think about the long term......
Yin He didn't want to think about the rest anymore.
Unlike most of the people who work in the Inner Ring, although he has never said it to anyone, Yin He's identity is not an ordinary person, he comes from a powerful family in the Holy City, although he himself is not the most favored and optimistic successor in the family, but the knowledge he has heard and seen since he was a child still allows him to think of the possible reaction of some of the elders of the Holy City.
Therefore, after thinking about it repeatedly, Yin He found with some sadness that after experiencing so much pain and despair, he probably still had no way to wait for reinforcements, and if he wanted to survive, there was still a long way to go.
At least the gate outside is probably still going to be opened......
Although the future looks a little hopeless and sad, Yin He has carefully considered all kinds of possibilities in his heart, and there may be a glimmer of life to live.
Moreover, years of tempering in the Inner Ring had already strengthened Yin He's heart, not to mention that he had already seen too many deaths, including the tragic massacre that had just happened.
He refreshed himself in the darkness, and no longer lit the torches, and with the help of his memory, he groped his way through the jade to find a storeroom, and then rummaged through it, found a little water and food, and ate quietly.
The bloody qi outside was still very strong, but after staying here for a long time, Yin He seemed to have slowly gotten used to this smell and no longer had any reaction.
In this way, he lived in this completely dark and closed place, hungry and sleepy, and did not know how much time had passed outside, and how long he had been here.
It has been said that a completely dark enclosed space can drive a person crazy or fall into terrible fantasies.
Yin He had heard people say this before, but after experiencing such a thing himself, he knew that terrible feeling at this time.
