Chapter 24 Escaped from the tunnel...?(1/2)
Something that is not in my cognition and is likely beyond the scope of peanuts' cognition happened in front of us...
It is not difficult for modern people who have a little knowledge to see that what blocked the flock of birds just now should be a kind of electricity. These things are absolutely impossible to appear in ancient tombs or the remains of ancient civilizations. Therefore, my thinking was a little confused. When I looked at the peanuts in a blink of an eye, he looked surprised.
We didn't know what to say, and the two of us walked slowly towards the entrance of the triangular corridor.
A burnt odor surged into my nostrils, and I didn't know if the smoke was poisonous. We ignored these and just used a flashlight to shine around the entrance to see if there was any abnormality.
After searching for a while, we found nothing. Peanut thought about it, and then extended his hand to the entrance of the corridor.
I grabbed his arm. "What do you want to do? What if you touch that thing too?"
Peanut looked in front of him, was silent for a while before saying, "I don't think so."
After saying that, he ignored my obstacles and leaned over with his other hand. My heart tightened, but then he found that Peanut's hand had not touched anything.
Then, the peanuts walked over me and walked straight inside.
Nothing happened yet.
I am extremely puzzled now. The obvious electricity just now disappeared in the blink of an eye. But after thinking carefully, I found that the layer of electricity did not appear at the end, but whenever the bird of stew was about to fly out, it suddenly revealed a piece. It felt more like a layer of light, but it did exert the effect of electricity, and the corpses of the bird of stew on the ground proved.
Although modern technology is already very developed, it is probably too difficult to spread a piece of electricity without any medium. And even if there is such technology in the world, it should not appear in this deserted Qiaogoli Peak.
Looking at this regular triangle entrance, I had a very bold guess in my mind - this may not be something left by humans.
Peanut's eyes were also obviously different when he looked around. He used to look at things in the ancient tomb, but now, he was looking around carefully, as if he suddenly found something new, and he was not as calm as before.
"Peanuts, what should we do now?" I looked at the fat man lying behind me.
Peanuts were still looking around, "Yuan Jie, do you find any difference?" After saying that, Peanuts stared at me.
"Different?" I looked back and forth, not feeling any changes here. I was about to shake my head. Suddenly, my whole body shook and shouted in shock: "Damn, that green thing is gone!?"
Then, I was wandering around in panic, but no matter where I looked, I could no longer find the light green halo that had been shrouding around us before.
"Didn't we have already walked out of that space?" I looked at Peanut again.
"Maybe it's not like that at all." Peanut seemed to understand something, "I think what we walked into in the side room just now was not a 'another space'. It's very likely that it was just a layer of film."
"membrane?"
"Yes, it should be something like a film." Peanut continued, "that green film has a very special effect. It can make people outside unable to see us. This effect may be designed to allow some people to avoid the attack of birds in the corridor. Your father and the others did not encounter these, perhaps because they were still standing in the green film, and we were just the opposite. Something must have happened, so we came out of the green film, or the green film disappeared automatically."
I thought the peanuts made sense, but after thinking about it, I couldn't help but frown. "If this is the case, how can we get over? I think there must be more than these venomous birds in it."
Peanut nodded, his face was also very helpless. It was a blessing that we could escape that disaster just now. If we had to go again, it would be suicide.
Peanut said that he was not poisonous, which was a half-joking statement. Last time in the tomb of Yelang King, although Peanut was not poisoned to death by Lao Tan in the end, his body still had a very bad situation. This was completely different from what Master Shui had done before, so the dog said that he could really be called poisonous.
Besides, even if I look at the appearance of these poisonous birds, they will definitely be very cruel even if they are not poisonous.
"If there is no way, we can only go back to that side room and try again to see if we can enter the green film again." Peanut said, "The key is the fat man now. I don't know if he can hold on."
I thought there was no other way, so I walked back to the fat man and wanted to see how the fat man was doing now.
But what surprised me was that when I squatted down and looked, I found that the fat man's face had improved a lot. Although his eyelids were not opened, his eyes had already started to move.
"Peanut, the fat man seems to be about to wake up." I couldn't help but shout. This was really unexpected. You should know that the fat man had poison, which was something that would die as soon as it was touched. Even if the poison just soaked in through his skin, it shouldn't have been better so quickly. Thinking about how he was just now, I felt it was very hungry.
Peanut was also surprised and immediately ran out of the corridor. With his foot forward, he accidentally kicked the body of a bird. The bird's body was about to kick him out of the entrance of the corridor, and then he heard a series of dull sounds of "如时时", and the golden layer of electricity spread out in front of us again.
Peanut's face was almost pressed on. If you move forward, it's hard to say what the outcome of Peanut would be.
This time, the situation in front of me was different. After the corpse of the zombie contacted the electricity again, the gloss on the electricity was obviously more dazzling. After the corpse was electrocuted, it did not fall off, but turned into liquid like melting, and along the range of electricity, it finally evaporated to nothing left.
Until this time, the electricity slowly disappeared.
Even Peanut became a little nervous. He reached out and looked forward again, then slowly walked out from the entrance of the corridor.
"I have to leave here immediately." Peanut said, and carried the fat man up again with his waist.
"I see that the fat man is almost awake, so why don't you wait..."
"No." As he said that, Peanut looked at the corridor behind him, "When the light appeared just now, I seemed to feel that there was something else in the corridor."
"The bird of poison flew back again?" I quickly looked inside.
"No, then..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Before the peanut words could be said, a strange sound of footsteps came through the triangle corridor.
I walked inside before, so I immediately heard the sound of footsteps. But unlike before, the sound of footsteps in my ears was very heavy and very rapid, and it seemed that there were more than one or two people. After listening for a while, I felt even more. It seemed like an army was moving.
"Let's go, go quickly." Peanut was really anxious this time.
However, we just took this step back. Suddenly, a "squeak" sound came from our hands. When we looked down, our flashlight had already begun to show sparks. In a blink of an eye, the mine light went out and I couldn't see anything.
In the darkness, Peanut lifted my arm and dragged me backwards.
"Ignition fold." shouted while running peanuts.
I hurriedly reached into the side bag behind me and took out a fire stick. While the fire light came up, the footsteps behind me seemed to have reached the entrance of the corridor.
We jumped to a rock below, and the steps followed quickly. We wanted to look back. Peanuts pushed me forward.
Panting, I ran back to the place where I had separated from my father and the others. After finding three ropes, Peanut grabbed the fat man on his shoulder with one hand and grabbed one with the other.
"You're fine?" I asked.
"You're still worried about yourself." Peanut said and urged me to act quickly.
We didn't dare to delay at all. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. I seemed to feel the heat and horror spreading in the air.
The peanuts were sliding downwards, but I couldn't do this. I could only step on the raised rocks carefully and climb down as quickly as possible. I felt that I was already fast enough, but I still couldn't get rid of the footsteps above my head.
In a hurry, I took a look at my head accidentally, and I was so scared that I almost let go and fell down.
I saw a row of triangular things exposed above the rock. They emitted a faint green light, and in each triangle, I saw something that seemed to be the eyes.
They just stared at me so faintly, and the sound of footsteps around them suddenly stopped.
At this time, I almost started to climb down in a mad manner, regardless of whether I had stepped on something under my feet. When my feet stepped on the ground, I subconsciously rolled forward for a while, afraid that those things would still be following behind.
But when I looked up, the three ropes were loose, unlike something on them.
I couldn't feel at ease, so I looked up and wanted to see the peanuts and the fat man. When I turned my head, I immediately found that the fat man was lying peacefully on the ground, but the peanuts beside him were half kneeling on the ground with pain, the muscles on his face were tense tightly, and his fists were pressing hard to the ground.
I was startled and ran over immediately. "Peanut, how are you? Did you fall to your leg?"
But I immediately felt something was wrong. Peanut had no signs of bumping, and his painful appearance was like a fire burning in his chest. Looking closely, Peanut's neck and face were red, and sweat kept falling under his lower head.
"Flowers, Peanut..." I reached out to pat him, but at this moment, Peanut suddenly raised his head to me. In an instant, I saw that the eyes of Peanut were all black, as if they had just been soaked in black paint.
I was almost scared, but I still asked with a stuttering question: "Peanut, you, what's wrong with you?"
Peanut must have suffered a huge pain. He gritted his teeth hard and whispered like a trapped beast: "Don't worry about my fat man and I, go quickly..."
"No." I shook my head, "I want to go together..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Peanut suddenly shouted, and then he said with a heavy breath. "I had something in my body. I thought there would be no big deal, but now... you don't have to worry about us. I will be able to survive in no time. You go back to the side room and wait, and I will bring the fat man with me soon."
“…”
The word "no" just reached my throat, and suddenly a whistling above my head, and then, a row of huge shadows fell heavily into the darkness around us.
The sound was so horrifying that it made my ears buzz. Although I didn't know what fell, I still felt that it seemed like a kind of metal, and they had surrounded the three of us.
This fear is different from before, although they are dormant in the darkness. But I can feel that they have no fear of us. I even feel that they are being observed. They are looking at us without pressure, just as calmly as humans are looking at a teenage mouse in a laboratory.
“Buzz…”
A strange sound came, and then, from all directions, five or six meters above the ground, one after another, one after another, triangular heads with green luster appeared one after another.
For a moment, I suspected that they were huge mantis. However, under the faint luster, the outline of their bodies was very bloated, and there were traces of metal.
I was stunned. When a huge arm stretched out towards me, I almost didn't react at all.
Everything was like slow motion in a movie. I saw that the hand was wrapped in a layer of sticky gray liquid. The structure of the five fingers was exactly the same as that of a human hand, but if it was really so much, the hand in front of me would be too big, and my height was almost the same as the length of a finger.
Peanuts pounced on the ground and knocked me away. The moment I fell to the ground, the hand also rubbed against the top of my head and whizzed past.
Peanut pointed to the corner of the corridor and shouted, "Run to there!"
That was the direction of the wind blowing into the corridor. For some reason, in that section, there was no monster blocking it.
When I woke up, the hand rushed towards me again. There was no acceleration or change of direction, as if our actions just now did not have any impact on the monster. But even so, I couldn't dodge it because when I saw it, the hand was already very close to me.
Peanut rushed towards me with a strange cry. It was impossible to avoid it, so he closed his arms and actually blocked the hand with his body.
What is even more unexpected is that peanuts were blocked like this. But at the same time, a mouthful of blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth. It is hard to imagine how powerful this impact will be.
Almost the moment I saw that hand, I realized that it was definitely not something that human power could stop.
Although Peanut tried all his strength, he was still retreating.
"Hurry, go..." Peanut shouted through his teeth.
"Hu, Hu, Hu..." The things around made a series of sounds that seemed to be mocking.
I stared at me, only to see Peanut turn around and stare at me fiercely with those dark eyes: "Go!"
...You are just a waste...
