Chapter 290 The Nutcracker Adventure (eight)
The ancient corridor built by gray-yellow stone bricks emitted a faint golden color under the brilliance of Yi Xiao’s magic wand, like a golden tunnel, but the black shadows that could not be seen at the bottom at the front and back were more like two human-eating beasts, and they could not leave no matter which end they escaped.
The unchanging square brick tunnel does not seem to belong to a civilization that humans can build. Because after walking for so long, Yi Xiao and others almost felt that the surrounding corridors had not changed, and the appearance was extremely accurate.
And now, there was finally a change on the wall, but this change was very strange, just like it was not part of this wall.
"What is this?" After identifying that there is no danger, Ikabbard and others surrounded him and studied the stone sculptures that appeared in front.
This is a stone sculpture, to be precise, a person's bust, and it is also a lower body.
"It's really a butt." Mills said with some amusement, putting the pistol back to his waist. The stone sculptured figure was obviously from a different age than these people because she was dressed differently.
The clothes inside are not visible, but from the outside, they look more like Roman robes, but not oblique straps, but the front style of Scottish long skirts.
This is a woman, and it can be seen from her legs and appearance. Just when the other people were amazed, Yi Xiao frowned inadvertently because he felt something was wrong.
Ikabird also felt something was wrong, "Wait a minute." He raised his hand to stop several people from talking, and then carefully measured the angle of the statue with his hands.
"Her feet left the ground." Yi Xiao said.
"The stone sculpture starts from the waist, and the front half of the body is not shown, but is immersed in the wall. Judging from the struggle of her legs," Ikabbard said, looking up at Yi Xiao in horror.
"It's more like a living person being dragged into the wall." Yi Xiao added the last sentence to him softly.
As Yi Xiao finished speaking, Mills, Madison and others stopped their voices, as if a cold wind was blowing by, and all the people were shivering.
Madison unconsciously touched his exposed arms, as if he felt chilling, "You mean... these walls will suck people in?"
"There is a great possibility." Yi Xiao said calmly, "A world that is out of the original track, anything can happen."
Madison looked around the wall after hearing this. The originally golden passage seemed a little dark and black at this time. It seemed to have turned into a strange dark red, just like the blood of countless people soaked in it.
"I don't want to try it." She shook her head, "This image is dead...it's so embarrassing."
"Whether the inference is correct or not, I think we should move forward faster and try to leave here before nothing happens." Yi Xiao and Ikabird looked at each other and then said.
"That's right. We're going to speed up." Ikabbard nodded and walked forward quickly.
The speed of the group has been significantly improved, but after all, they are walking and not much faster. When entering the passage, Yi Xiao considered using magic to accelerate with several people, but in some ancient ruins, fixed-point teleportation and flying magic are forbidden, and so are here.
As several people gradually moved forward, more and more strange stone sculptures appeared on both sides of the wall, but in absolutely consistent manner, they were all human-shaped stone sculptures.
Various statues with strange expressions were embedded in the wall. Some were like the stone sculpture behind them. While struggling, the front half disappeared, while others were sank into the wall, leaving only the upper half outside. They tried to reach forward, as if they wanted to grab something. The terrified expression on their faces was lifelike, not only terror, but also guilt and regret.
Cooperating with Yi Xiao's guess, the more the few people looked at these stone sculptures, the more terrifying they felt.
These people seemed to have arrived at the tunnel during a great escape and were sucked in together. They were wearing uniform and classical clothing, and they did not know which era they belonged to. Some people were carrying baskets that had been turned into stones and ropes for binding livestock.
Suddenly, a sudden uneasiness suddenly surged in Yi Xiao's heart. This was different from the feeling of guiding him to find a clue to the wizard. It was just a simple sense of danger, as if there was a secret in his heart that was about to be peeped into by others.
"Wait." Yi Xiao made a gesture and stopped, "Do you think something is wrong?"
"I felt it." The woman's mind was more delicate. Mills was more sensitive because of her professional relationship. She immediately realized that "as if something was peeking at us, I was a little involuntarily reminded of the mistakes I had made, and then I was filled with regret and guilt."
Ikabird frowned when he heard this, as if he had remembered something. They had been moving forward for nearly an hour, and the passage in front suddenly became narrower because the density of stone sculptures on both walls became larger.
"Stay going." Yi Xiao sighed and forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart. If he was still in the same state as before, he might not be able to feel guilty now.
However, he did make many mistakes. Yi Xiao was shocked when he thought of this, and quickly shook his head and drove out this idea, but it seemed that it was a little late, because Madison's scream of fear sounded next to him, "They have started to move!"
Yi Xiao looked up and saw that the color of the surrounding walls began to become dark and dark at some point. These stone sculptures that had been dragged into it began to move slowly.
The stone sculptures on the lower body continued to be slowly dragged into the wall, while those whose arms were stretched outside began to stretch forward, as if they wanted to catch Yi Xiao and others.
Madison was caught off guard and grabbed the black gauze scarf on his waist by an arm. Before she could scream, the arm quickly shrank back at an unreasonable speed. The gauze scarf touched the wall and instantly turned into a stone at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving it on the wall forever and blending with it.
"It's still here..." Yi Xiao looked at the current situation with a heavy expression and whispered.
"Run!" Mills shouted loudly, reacting first. She shot and smashed one of the closest arm, and the stone arm fell to the ground, leaving a layer of gray-yellow soil.
