27. Chapter 27 The Secret of the Murals(2/2)
The roar behind became louder and louder, and the huge leeches squeezed through the cave, passed through the hall, and plunged into the corridor.
This soft-bodied creature, larger than any known land animal on Earth, snaked its way through the corridor, rumbling along like a excavator.
The ground was bumpy like ocean waves, dust fell from the shaking ceiling, the passage was bursting open, and bloated and obese bodies almost filled the entire space.
The boys and girls managed to get back to the room before the giant leech caught up with them.
"Boom!"
The slate-gray smooth body quickly slid through the hole, like a subway train passing through a tunnel.
Yan Jingxing hid in the corner of the room, watching all this happen with fear.
Except for the inside of the three devices, there is no place to hide in this room. As long as it turns its neck, it can be noticed immediately.
His breathing was rapid, his whole body was stiff, and he felt like he was about to faint from fright, just like a scene from a horror movie he had seen before.
Although it was embarrassing, but...if it weren't for the little girl next to him who was clutching his sleeve, he might have fainted on the spot.
Whether it was Ji Chunzao or Xie Yuzhi, both of them were silent now, curling up and staring closely at the entrance of the cave.
After a while, the sound of "rumbling" faded away, and the surrounding movement gradually disappeared, and then he exhaled in unison.
"……gone?"
he asked quietly.
"I should... but it's better not to go out now. Apart from the big one, there are other leeches in the hall."
Xie Yuzhi raised his eyebrows.
"It seems that we are trapped here. It is impossible to go back the same way. It is also dangerous to find other passages."
"Where did those guys come from?"
This was also the question Yan Jingxing wanted to ask. On the way they came, everything was quiet, and the whole palace was more like a huge tomb; but suddenly, the group of monsters seemed to surge in from all corners.
came out.
"Think about it carefully, it seems that since we entered this room. Sure enough, it was because some kind of mechanism was triggered?"
"Then...then what are we going to do next...?"
Unconsciously, Yan Jingxing's eyes fell on the three devices in the room.
At this moment, his eyes met with Xie Yuzhi's.
"...Can we just give it a try?"
"There is no other way."
Miss Xie looked solemn.
"If the spirit leech notices this room, we have no ability to resist. Even if these devices have no meaning, they can at least be used to hide."
"Okay, let's get in first and take a look."
Ji Chunzao volunteered and was the first to climb onto the chair.
Then, under the gaze of the remaining two people, the pelvis suddenly rose next to the "chair" and closed directly.
"wait……!"
It looked as if she had been eaten by the chair.
Yan Jingxing was startled. The little girl's movements were so swift that others had no time to stop her. He rushed over and knocked hard on the device's casing.
"Chun Zao! Chun Zao! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
There was a muffled response from inside.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xie Yuzhi also asked.
"No, it's just very dark with no lights, but it's quite comfortable to lie down... Haha."
A yawn came from within the device.
"Having said that, I suddenly want to sleep. I'm so sleepy..."
...Can you feel sleepy at such a time?
Yan Jingxing thought she was really amazing.
At this moment, his ears suddenly twitched.
Strange noises were accompanied by tremors on the ground, and familiar voices came from far away...
No, it’s back again——
It seemed that after the giant leech made a circle in the palace, it turned around and crawled back again!
"Jing Xing, let's hide first."
Xie Yuzhi pulled his sleeve and reminded him softly.
"good."
Although he still had all kinds of doubts deep in his heart, there was no other way at the moment. He and Miss Xie each chose a device and got in.
…
A few minutes later, giant leeches rumbled past the passage.
After another ten minutes, a certain squirming insect group passed by, circled around the device in the cave, and then went out again.
Half an hour later, the three devices flashed red at the same time.
During the whole process, no sound was made, no one spoke, and the room was quiet, as if all the boys and girls in the device were asleep.
The red light is like flowing blood, flowing along the blood vessels into the floor and then onto the wall.
After absorbing the "blood": murals that were swallowed up by the spreading fungi and fleshy tissue slowly emerged from the depths of the wall.
The stories they tell seem to be the continuation of the murals in the hall:
…
Three alien residents walked into a forest and dug out a total of three things from the pillar of flesh standing in the forest: two eyes and a spinal cord.
The pillar of flesh collapsed and they returned to their original tribe.
After completing this matter, the three alien residents seemed to have great power and lofty status on this planet from now on. They were surrounded and surrounded by countless similar people, led the army, stepped into the palace, and stepped onto the throne.
