Chapter 134: Monsters
The road widened, and Sethor suddenly ran to a large clearing, with no mountain walls around, and something flickering in the darkness in the distance on the right, and a small dark shadow beside it.
"Lolo?" Sether tried to call, and although there was silence around him, there seemed to be an endless whisper, and when he listened carefully, he was gone, and he couldn't make out which language it was, but it only made people feel creepy.
The little black shadow moved again, letting out a faint moan.
"Lolo, is that you?" Seser asked again, and he quietly moved towards the dark shadow, his hand moving to the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Yesher...... "Sure enough, it was Lolo, and he hurried over and pulled her out.
The glittering thing was a large bronze mirror that fell on top of a small hill-like rubble. Sether lifted the bronze mirror up, and in an instant a bright yellow light refracted from the mirror's surface and fell on the shining points in different directions in the distant darkness. These are also bronze mirrors, but they are much smaller, and they are hung from the top of thick vines.
The main purpose of the huge bronze mirror is this, it can concentrate, expand and refract a little bit of bright light through the copper mirror in different positions, forming a bright light source. However, despite this, due to the frightening size of the place, the thick darkness in the tunnel swallowed up most of the light, and their vision was still limited, and they could only see the objects in the inner diameter of three or four meters near the huge bronze mirror.
It turned out that the small hill-like thing was not rubble at all, but a stump that had long been weathered into pieces. These limbs were cut off while they were still wrapped in armor, because the air here in the tunnel was extremely dry, because the armor of these stumps was still shiny, and the thick tendons and bones underneath were very well preserved, the gray and dry skin and bunches of tendons, just a withered hand was longer than the calf of an ordinary person, so it can be seen that the dead here are giants.
Behind the pile of stumps is a stone wall, on which are carved many huge monsters that are half-human, half-beast, lifelike, brightly colored, and unusually fine. Most of them depict the habits of these monsters, devouring humans, hunting tigers and leopards, destroying villages, and robbing ordinary women**, giving birth to terrifying freaks with many hands and legs.
On the left is a male half-human, half-ox, the upper body is an adult man with a beard and long braids, the lower body is covered with black coarse hair, two forked hooves and a slender cow's tail, and on the right is a female half-human, half-fish, with a chest and a lower body, the whole body has scales, with six webbed arms and two forked fish tails, no hair on the head, all sharp fins, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and extremely hideous.
"I've only seen pictures of these monsters in books," Luo Luo was shocked, "I didn't expect them to exist." β
"They don't belong to Velogosa, the evil species born of the world before the Flood," Sether muttered in a low voice, "but their bodies are gone, but the spirits still walk and walk on the Velogosa we are. β
"Why are half-humans, half-beasts evil?" Lolo clung to Sether's arm, she didn't dare to look at these abominable monsters for long, "Maybe people just don't know about them, maybe they're not as scary as they look." β
"Did you only learn to sing in the Rest Palace?" Sether snorted mockingly, "It seems that Muki-se didn't teach you well." This world was not born to satisfy the greed of human beings to do whatever they want. Breaking through the forbidden zone cannot be a surprise, only endless evil. β
Lolo still looked unconvinced, but she didn't dare to continue arguing with Sether, for fear that he would be impatient and throw herself into this terrible tunnel, leaving her to fend for herself.
"Look," Lolo timidly pointed to a huge arm as thick as two human arms on top of the stump, "and there was a big piece of flesh missing, as if something had gnawed it off." It seems that these half-humans, half-beasts are not invincible. β
"Maybe it's the result of their cannibalism devouring each other, but it's also strange," Sether frowned and looked around, "Who can destroy so many half-humans and half-beasts in one go......?"
"Why?"
"Humans are no match for these centaurs, and as for the oracles, it's more than enough to destroy them, but if they do, they won't be able to leave so much wreckage, and we'll see a handful of charred ashes at best. β
Sether stopped talking and fell into deep thought, while Lolo didn't dare to make a sound beside him, and the whole person stuck to him like kraft candy.
"What's the matter with that scream?" said Sether, who rudely shook off the girl's entanglement and nearly threw her back at the wreckage, "What's the matter with that loud noise?"
"When I ran here, I crashed into the bronze mirror. Who knows how the mirror could sound so loud, I was scared to death, so I whispered......" Lolo explained, the voice getting quieter and quieter.
"It seems that your definition of whispering is completely different. Sether scoffed.
Even in the dim light, you can clearly see that Luo Luo's face has changed from red to white, and then from white to red, back and forth several times.
"We've been here too long," Sether looked around alarmingly, "and we can't afford to delay any longer." Let's go. β
Luo Luo nodded repeatedly, and as soon as the two of them wanted to leave, they heard a sound like a tide coming from far and near.
"Oh my God, this isβ" Luo Luo was so anxious that he grabbed his cheeks, but he couldn't hold back for a long time.
"What the hell is it?" Seiser was also anxious, he was already an impatient person, and now when he saw Luo Luo's appearance, he only felt full of anger in his stomach.
"It's La Scorpion!" Luo Luo finally searched for the answer, his face turned the color of pig liver, "Hurry up! I've read in the book, even if you get close to them, you will be poisoned!"
She took Sether's hand, and the two of them ran forward desperately. The sound of the tide of scorpions became louder and louder, and Seser looked back by the light of the small bronze mirror, only to see a huge group of scorpions, each with six tails full of stingers behind them, and the most terrifying thing was that each scorpion had exactly the same white pattern on its back, and it looked like a white eye.
"Don't look at those eyes!" Lolo yelled at Sether.
There are many forks in the road, and there are many caves, ditches, and traps along the way, which hum as they rush by. The ground and walls were full of cracks and cracks, and from time to time there were large bottomless holes in front of his feet, and Lolo did not dare to jump over, so Sether had to hold her and jump, and the two of them almost fell into the bottomless pit together. They climbed up from the wall of the cave with their hands and feet, and could hear the sound of gurgling water and the splashing of water from the depths of the terrible cavern, as if something was crashing on the water.
A protruding irregular stone protruded from the stone wall next to it, as if the lower part had been blown away by something, forming a natural high platform, and Sether first sent Loloto to it, and then climbed to the top of it himself.
Just as they were on the way, Sether's feet left the ground, and the scorpion swarm came like a terrible tidal wave, and after a earth-shaking roar, the scorpion finally disappeared from their view.
"Great. Sitting on the high platform, Lolo whispered with joy as she tugged at Sether's sleeve and shook it around, "Look, we've finally gotten rid of the Scorpion." Sether, you're amazing. β
However, there was silence when she answered, and Luo Luo turned his eyes to see Sether's face pale and his lips purple, and Luo Luo followed his gaze and saw a large blood stain oozing from his ankle.
Luo Luo trembled and lifted Sether's trousers, only to see that there were four deep purple-black holes in the white and sturdy feet and necks, and black blood was constantly gushing out of them.
"You, you......" Luo Luo whispered in fear, "You've been bitten!"
