The Dead Zone: Maya Stela - C37
I didn’t want to hear any more of his nonsense, so I said bluntly, “Let’s not beat around the bush either. I don’t want to be here with you anymore. It’s not likely for us to return through the same route, so you should tell me the way out. Since you know where the thing is, come and get it yourself next time. I will control the chivalrous hero, and you can just leave. After that, I will send back your Gu worm. ”
Old Song looked surprised, “You can’t go back the way we came? Why? Could something have happened down there? ”
When I told him what I had told him earlier about the corpse puppet, he looked like a punctured balloon. I was curious if there was only one path, when I heard him say, “It’s over, it’s over. Let’s go!” Leave this place immediately! ”
“Hmm?” He had already stood up. “Hurry up and leave.” At this point, he had already stood up with slippery hands. He ignored the chivalrous hero on the ground and walked towards the “ice pit” with a “slither” sound.
“Wait a moment!” His footsteps were very fast, as if there was oil on the soles of his feet.
I picked up the chivalrous hero and said, “Wait a minute, you motherfucker.” Oh, my little man, you must be careful! Walk faster! You… What are you dragging him for?! ”
“Cut the crap!” We rushed all the way to the icehouse, and Old Song slipped in with a “hiss”. I didn’t know what was happening, but he reached out his hand and said, “Give me this fat guy’s hand!”
I didn’t think too much about it. I handed the fatty’s foot over to him. “Pull him in!”
No need for me to say that, Old Song’s voice never stopped. His two fat legs are already inside, his stomach is stuck on the outside.
Ka ka … Ka ka …
An irregular sound came from the darkness. It was like many stones hitting the ground at the same time. I was stunned for a moment. Unconsciously, I turned my head to look, and the strength in my hand slackened.
In my line of sight, there was something that looked like a human or a snake or a snake crawling on the ground. His legs had become snake-like things that dragged on the ground, but some of them were already tattered, and you could see the white bones that dragged inside. The flesh on its back had almost completely rotted away. There were a few red lines where the tail of the snake was attached, and the red lines were connected to the snake skin below.
His face was completely covered by the black liquid, but the part of his face where his eye socket was was white, as if there were no eyes but only white.
As they moved forward, all that was left of their fingers were already digging on the ground. That was how the knocking sound had come from.
This voice kept on echoing in the tunnel as they walked forward. Old Song obviously heard this voice as well, and the sound of water being stepped on came from the ice cellar. I couldn’t help but get angry, so I shouted twice that Old Song didn’t respond.
At this moment, the hero was still stuck inside the cave, unconscious like a mummy with his eyes closed.
My scalp tingled at the sight of it, and I was accompanied by a wounded man. He was unarmed and didn’t know what to do to resist.
Just as my mind was racing, the monster had already moved three meters forward. From a glance, it didn’t look like it was someone to be trifled with. At this moment, I am extremely regretful that I let my hand relax while strolling around. Old Song sensed that something was amiss and escaped, so what should I do?
I grit my teeth and calculate the length of the opening to the bottom. This thing was different from a corpse puppet. This thing could crawl, and it had a long length of contact with the ground. But if they continued to wait like this, they would definitely die. I’ve never seen such a strange snakeman before, but he was still a man. After experiencing the Corpse Puppet’s initial shock, I could only sigh at how ugly this thing was.
I knew it wasn’t necessarily safe to leave the hero here, but if we both stood still, it would be a dead end.
What the fuck!
He had already cursed the chivalrous hero and Old Song a thousand times in his heart. After some calculation, he decided to run in the opposite direction.
Taking two steps forward, I regretted it immediately. There wasn’t just one of these things, but three of them had different speeds. No wonder the voice I just heard was so disorderly. The speed of the three was different, but they all crawled straight ahead. I went immediately from the front of the last one to the back of the fastest one in the middle.
As if they had a sense of smell, the three of them instantly changed directions.
I didn’t dare to run too fast. I was afraid that if they caught me, they wouldn’t be able to turn me into a hero. I wasn’t that selfish, and I couldn’t have done better with him dead.
I was startled by the speed of their movement, but I was glad it worked. He immediately took up a running posture and charged forward!
A hissing sound came from behind me. My voice was obviously too loud. The whites of my eyes that didn’t have any lids turned. I couldn’t see the pupils, but they seemed to be staring at me.
I stiffened for a moment out of habit and immediately started running. At first, he didn’t think that this thing’s movement speed was faster than a corpse puppet, but after a few kicks, it was about to catch up.
Who am I! However, the diving suit felt like I was being tied up with a sandbag. It took a step for me to step on it and grind against the ground, causing me to collapse from the slippery rubber under my feet.
Although he staggered a few times, at least he didn’t fall down. The snakeman who just happened to be following me fell down the hole with both hands.
I didn’t have time to be happy. When his tail came, his hands were already on the ground, and his middle part of his body was caved in. At a glance, it was as if his waist had been cut off.
I knew it was not good when I saw the reappearing claws. Just as he was about to accelerate, he heard a miserable scream from behind him.
I turned my head to look and saw that the snakeman by the entrance of the cave had broken into two parts. It was as if there was someone pulling on it from below and half of its body was sinking downwards.
My first thought was, can’t this snakeman pass through this hole? He thought about the corpse puppet below him. Recalling Old Song’s reaction when he found out that the corpse puppet had been taken down by us, he immediately had a few thoughts in his mind.
The other two were still eyeing me, but instead of running forward, I stopped and turned to run in the opposite direction.
The move was dangerous in my estimation, but as I expected, one of the other two turned and wagged their tails, but they didn’t rush me.
I suddenly felt relieved.
It seemed that the three territories were fixed. There were three distinct dark red grooves on the ground. The inside of the grooves had been filled up, so the other two would definitely not come over.
I thought for a second, but still didn’t dare to relax. I turned back and immediately jumped out of the red line. Sure enough, that bar suddenly sped up and I jumped back. It was as though I had pressed the button to slow down, returning to my original speed.
It really amazed me, and I don’t know how the Creator did it, but the donation was able to separate these monsters so clearly.
“You’ve let me off the hook this time.” I laughed inwardly and let out a long breath.
I turned and ran in the opposite direction. The hero’s body was still stuck there. I put one hand on his stomach and the other on his shoulder and pushed him in. The fat on his body caved in as he fell downwards.
With another push of my hand, he still had his head out. I put my foot on his shoulder and forced my way in. The snakemen on both sides had reached the end. Looking at my actions, their black faces suddenly contorted and a red light flashed in their four muddy white eyeballs.
I jumped in fright and ferociously dove in.
The sound of two bodies colliding together came from behind them. When I felt relieved, I felt the soreness in my body and the softness in my body. I quickly rolled to the side, and without the zipper on my face, I immediately helped him up to prevent him from drowning to death.
Old Song was already nowhere to be seen. The two things outside seemed to be afraid of this place, and were not even a step away from Yue Chi.
This is really interesting. If it wasn’t for the circumstances, I really would have caught one and researched it. The white bones that were revealed from the already rotting snake skin were human bones. Even if it was just a glance, I would definitely not be wrong. I have only seen such things in fantasy novels, but I didn’t expect that I would actually see them today.
I pulled my thoughts back, and now that the chivalrous hero is not awake, I don’t know if I should chase after Old Song.
I stopped the conversation between the two of them, but looking at the situation now, it was clear that the hero had a higher credibility. However, the words Old Song spoke with the Gu worm of Old Song that he brought were not without reason.
I rubbed my head in frustration. After entering, I didn’t feel short of breath. There was no poison here, so I was more or less relieved.
I have to say that it was lucky that the hero was here. If I had to face a coffin alone, or at the place of origin, I would go crazy.
I let out a long breath and looked at the chivalrous hero beside me. I silently prayed that my hands weren’t too heavy. However, the time difference between Old Song and Hero’s awakening is really too big. I defaulted that the difference in hand strength was not that great. Furthermore, Old Song’s attack was much heavier than his attack on the chivalrous hero.
Could it be that I involuntarily exerted force when I was on the verge of death? I touched the back of my head and was speechless.
Just when I was about to lose my patience and think about whether I should make a move, the chivalrous hero suddenly turns his face over. I was startled, but I was also afraid that he might slip down and suffocate me. He turned his fat face back and saw his mouth was moving. He leaned closer and said, “Lili…” “Don’t go …”
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I patted the fat on his face, and his tiny eyes slowly opened. He opened his eyes and closed them again. After a while, he got up and exclaimed, “Where is this?!”
Where is this? Looking at his expression, I could see that his eyes were brimming with liveliness. “This is the ice cellar.” “Where’s that old fool Song!” The chivalrous hero said angrily, “Did he escape?”
His expression was extremely sinister. I asked doubtfully, “Is your wound still painful?” “Is he awake now?” “The wound doesn’t hurt, it’s just …” I looked down at him and my heart skipped a beat. I smiled and told him what had happened and what I had to do.
The chivalrous hero had a speechless expression, but at the same time, there was also some pain and gratitude. He continuously praised me so much that I couldn’t stop inhaling at the wound on the ground.
I didn’t say anything more, just asked him if he could walk. He answered very straightforwardly, “I don’t know.”
Me: “…”
“You don’t have to panic,” said the chivalrous hero. “I’ve seen his road map, and although I don’t know how he got out, at least I can guarantee his life.”
“I looked at him and saw that he was full of confidence, which ignited my hope.” There should be another path ahead. ” The chivalrous hero said, “But we’ll have to spend some time thinking about leaving from here. This is different from the time when Song Gou and I went there. This time, we’re going through the tomb door.
Piracy is one of the more harmful aspects of our archaeological excavations. If it wasn’t a natural disaster, then it was a grave robber’s attempt. A cave robber meant that the air in the tomb was no longer sealed, meaning that the buried items inside had been stolen or had declined due to exposure to the air.
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at the chivalrous hero. “What do you think we should do?”
I didn’t ask him like I asked him. Now that he thought about it, asking Old Song directly was simply a stupid thing to do. If I reveal all of my trump cards, they might not even be able to guard against me.
“This coffin is here. It looks like we need to fly over it.” The chivalrous hero said solemnly.
