The Dead Zone: Maya Stela - C34
I felt my hair stand on end as I heard his unfathomable words, but I just couldn’t stop myself from exploding. I didn’t even look at the chivalrous hero and just kept quiet. Once I was able to hit him once and for all, I …
Old Song wanted to switch seats with me halfway through, but I rejected him. He did not get angry and sighed, “Looks like I’m tired today.”
I almost flew into a rage at what he said and really sounded like bad intentions, and looked at his back with raised eyebrows. In the end, he didn’t even take two steps before feeling embarrassed.
As the two sides of the road became narrower and narrower like a funnel, the chivalrous hero finally met his expectations and was stuck inside!
He was finally worried. Old Song was pushing and shoving with all his might, and the chivalrous voice was constantly ringing. I was speechless, but I couldn’t help him since he was separated by Old Song.
At this moment, he couldn’t enter nor retreat. I gritted my teeth and prepared to retreat and switch seats with Old Song. The chivalrous hero quickly took off his diving suit and climbed up, turning his body to the side. Old Song pushed forcefully and rolled out like a ball.
It looked like the exit was the narrowest place here. Old Song picked up the diving suit and tossed it over to him, then he walked out of the room with ease.
I sucked at my stomach, feeling the pain in my shoulder as I tried to clear the way. The chivalrous hero panted a few times before regaining his usual slovenly attitude, and angrily said, “Can’t you be a little more gentle with your hands? You almost cut your head off when you fell on the ground!” Old Song smiled brightly and apologized repeatedly, saying that it was because he was in a rush.
I looked down at the ground, where sharp stones of all sizes were scattered. The chivalrous hero was groaning.
The rubble in this place should have fallen while digging up the extra rocks on both sides.
I looked around. This was a completely enclosed space. Other than the entrance and exit, there was no other way out.
Old Song and the chivalrous hero did not panic. With a shake of his hand, he pulled out an “L” shaped metal piece from nowhere and pushed it under a stone. The gap between the rock and the ground was very large. Old Song folded a section under it and quickly retreated.
With a bang, the stone broke into pieces. There were even some small pieces that fell onto my face.
I saw that Old Song had moved to cover his face, otherwise, if this piece of debris were to hit his face, he would probably be disfigured.
As I secretly resented Old Song’s jealousy of my handsome face, I became even more fearful. I’ve never seen his metal plate, nor have I ever seen a bomb that doesn’t need to be wired or detonated remotely.
Facing my curiosity, Old Song smiled gleefully, “This thing is the same as throwing a cannonball. If you press it, then blow it up.”
It was extremely treacherous, and he didn’t understand the principles behind it at all.
Old Song stepped forward, removed the smallest piece of broken rock, and nodded. “Together.”
The chivalrous hero and I moved away from the biggest piece, revealing a dark hole below. But it’s too small, and even I can’t be sure that I can make it down, let alone a hero.
That hole was extremely deep and obscure. Just a glance at it would cause me to tremble in fear.
Logically speaking, I should not have such a fear problem, and I have experienced it before. But his arms were shaking.
We moved the stones to one side. I thought I was going to start figuring out how to get down. Old Song walked over to a rock on the other side and stuffed the metal sheet back into place.
After a loud noise, the rock was moved away and a black hole appeared once again.
I looked at Old Song. He didn’t go down, instead, he reached out his hand and pressed it into the hole.
Without any movement, he took two steps, then three steps, then to the other side. With a cracking sound, a stone slab suddenly fell from the top of his head.
I was so scared that I nearly died. As I retreated, the stone slab almost grazed my scalp. “Are you trying to kill me?!”
“Isn’t this fine?” “You!”
I wanted to punch him in the face, but he stepped on the stone and jumped up. For some reason, his hands were already on the ground. He climbed up just like that.
I was amazed at his jumping power. That height is two meters high, even I would have to use up a lot of strength.
Old Song stuck his head out from above with a smile and said, “Come up.”
The chivalrous hero walked towards the stone slab. I was worried that if he stepped on my shoulder, it would collapse. However, I only saw him jump up lightly without using his hands.
My eyelids jumped and I walked up quickly. When I stepped on it, the top suddenly lowered down. This entrance only reached my waist.
I was stunned. Old Song was squatting down and looking at me, right at my waist.
I reached out my hand tentatively. I did indeed have such a feeling. The ice-cold rocks were pressing down on my hand.
I can easily climb this height. But when I lifted my foot, I stumbled. When I stepped on it, I started off by stepping on empty air. In the end, my foot’s height didn’t exceed my usual height, let alone my waist.
“Heh heh,” Old Song said, “Simple.” I asked him why, and he shook his head, regretting that he didn’t know.
If this were in front of me, I would have marked this place with a sign, and then gone back and forth, up and down, up and down.
Standing up there, he felt the air become colder. The diving suit could not withstand the cold, and the loss of body temperature was even faster than when he was underwater.
“What’s going on?” My teeth were chattering. “Why is it so cold here?” In front of us is the icehouse. ”
“An icehouse?!” “Impossible!”
Old Song looked at my pale face and smiled without a word. The chivalrous hero had already stepped forward.
The further they walked, the colder it became. There was a clear path from that opening, yet they had to take this colder path.
About fifty meters away, the stench of pickled fish mixed with the smell of ice came over. I almost spit the bile out. Not only was the smell unpleasant, it was unforgettable. Even the emetic was not as effective as it was before.
“Is this pickled vegetables?” “Hmph,” Old Song rubbed his arm, “This is a pickled corpse.”
The temperature had dropped even further.
The front of the building was a bit like an icehouse, with only a small opening. This was where the previous blast of cold air had come from. I looked and only Old Song and I were able to get in. The body of a hero definitely wouldn’t be able to squeeze in.
Old Song’s body might not be able to take it, and I don’t really want this grave robber to stay in a place where there might be coffins. I can’t search him when he comes out, so I must have gone in. I couldn’t help but say, “You … “Don’t joke around.” I’m not joking. ”
“I won’t tell you.” I said, “I’ll go in and take a look.” I’ll go with you. ” The chivalrous hero suddenly said.
I winked at the chivalrous hero, but he didn’t show any reaction. I helplessly said, “You saw it too, this entrance is too small.” Blast this. ” He pointed to the entrance to the tomb.
“No way!” “No way!” Old Song and I shouted at the same time.
The chivalrous hero didn’t even look at me, but stared at Old Song and said, “Laozi doesn’t want to stay in the same place as you.”
Old Song froze.
I was stunned. Was this the door to the corpse’s house where they were going to fight?
Seeing that the chivalrous hero’s expression didn’t seem like a joke, Old Song’s face stiffened, but he continued to smile. “You …” You can’t say that… You’re … Are we companions? ”
“I am his companion, not yours.” “You son of a bitch traitor.”
Old Song’s face turned completely black, “Who are you scolding?” However, he did not make a move. The chivalrous hero said calmly, “I’ll leave it at that today, you can go in.”
Old Song froze for a moment, then smiled and said, “Go in then.” You better keep it clean for me. ”
The chivalrous hero did not speak. Old Song crawled inside and looked at me, who was standing there like an idiot. “You …” Get the hell in! ” The chivalrous hero suddenly roared.
I saw that the change in front of me had almost turned into wooden block. This change was too f * cking quick. That chivalrous hero was still being careful of Old Song’s fart. When he opened his mouth, Old Song didn’t even dare to fart.
I did not expect to drive Old Song in, and then the chivalrous hero again bowed his head, standing where he was without a word.
My admiration for him rose to a whole new level, but at the same time, I had my doubts towards Old Song. But didn’t we come this time to get the beast? Was there really a coffin inside? Whose tomb beast was left in the main tomb chamber, what kind of joke was that?
After thinking about it for so long, it only lasted for an instant. I was deep in thought, and the chivalrous hero across from me did not speak. Amidst the extreme silence, a voice suddenly came out. Crack, crack, crack …
My thoughts were interrupted. He looked up and saw that the chivalrous hero had somehow blocked the entrance. He didn’t even turn his eyes.
Seeing the chivalrous hero’s expressionless face, I felt a trace of fear from the bottom of my heart. But he did not move. Where did that sound come from?
The sound grew louder and louder, as if someone were walking in the empty corridor.
My eyes widened and I turned to look. A figure emerged from the darkness, moving slowly, as if tripled.
It was a completely unrecognizable face. The eye sockets and nostrils were all densely packed with hatching white and fat maggots. One of them was wriggling and twisting, while the other was drilling into the nostrils.
My scalp tingled. This item was wearing a black armor with the fabric almost completely rotted away. The outer layer was completely undamaged, made of some unknown material.
I had never expected to see such a thing. I was stunned, my hair standing on end. A cold wind blew, and the slow-moving thing was already walking towards me.
The sour stench almost made me faint. In a few breaths, even if I slowed down, the thing had already arrived before me.
I struggled out of my stupor. Two huge black eyes and countless twisting white bugs had already occupied my entire eyeball.
I immediately reacted and retreated to the side. I immediately ran towards a distant place but that thing didn’t chase me. It just walked towards the entrance with an expressionless face.
What the heck! Hero!
The chivalrous hero was like a block of wood, standing dumbly in front of the door. “chivalrous hero!” I yelled, wanting to rush over and pull him away, but my legs were too weak to move. Even the sounds I made were soft, and there seemed to be smoke coming out of my throat.
I took a deep breath and my legs finally stopped sticking to the ground. I immediately took a step back and moved to the side, ready to pull him away.
It was so heavy! You sure have a reaction to it!
I wanted to slap him on the head to wake him up. That thing didn’t stop its steps and walked stiffly to the front of the Hero. There was still a little distance left.
The chivalrous hero did not move an inch, or perhaps he did not exert any strength, but my own legs were still soft, how much strength could I spare to pull him? Seeing that face full of maggots was about to kiss him, a bright light flashed and he viciously kicked his knee. The fat on his body trembled as he kneeled in front of that thing.
That thing was not more than twenty centimeters away from him. The hero threw the thing back on his knees, and I heard the crunch of bones. The thing was knocked back several steps, and I breathed a sigh of relief as I tried to tug at it. He hissed and cursed as he walked to the side in a hurry. At the same time, his left hand fiercely pinched his right arm before he turned to me and said, “This young master will definitely reward you handsomely when he goes out in the future!”
I didn’t even bother to thank him. Seeing that he’d woken up, I let out a breath of relief and said angrily, “Luckily you woke up. If you hadn’t, you would have …” Dog Song, I, your father, am irreconcilable with you! Wait until grandpa goes out and kills you! ” In a blink of an eye, he ran in front of me. “Don’t go in there alone with that dog thief and run with me. Let’s lure that thing down!”
I was stunned for a moment. The chivalrous hero had already run away. I hurriedly scolded him to keep up.
The creature moved slowly in the light, but as we ran forward, the footsteps in the darkness quickened, and I turned my head and ran even faster than we did.
“Raise your feet!” The chivalrous hero shouted in the front.
I reflexively listened to him and leaped over the hole in the ground.
That thing wasn’t so lucky. If we had made a circle, it would have been better for me to have stepped right over it. It couldn’t even run, let alone leap, falling with a thud and raising a cloud of dust.
“Will he come back up?” I looked worriedly at the chivalrous hero.
He did not answer the question. He had already taken off half of his diving suit. Lowering his head, he licked his arm. Closing his eyes, he snorted and ruthlessly bit off a piece of meat!
“What are you doing?” I was confused and scared by his beastly actions.
“Hey,” the chivalrous hero said, “don’t worry, I’m not crazy.” “Then you …” “Stay awake.” The chivalrous hero said.
In my confusion, he tore a piece of cloth from the hem of his shirt and spat on the wound. He threw the meat aside without even looking at it, and the smell of blood filled the air. He put a bag of cloth on top of it, and it was extremely difficult because he had only one hand.
“Heh,” said the chivalrous hero, “It’s all thanks to your cleverness. “You’ll know when This Hero tells you something,” he spat on the ground again.
I tied the wound, and he didn’t move forward, but leaned against the wall.
“He drugged me.”
