Just three words, uttered in a dark and silent environment. Regardless of the meaning of Mei Qian's words, they will naturally take on an extraordinary color in the ears of others.
So much so that Zhang Yu and Ning Chi couldn't help but shudder.
Ning Chi was relatively good. After all, during his exploration with Mei Qian, he had never encountered anything unscientific except for monsters and bugs.
In comparison, Zhang Yu was much more nervous. He had seen zombies in the Xiadu Ancient Tombs. Therefore, he raised his pistol again and kept aiming in all directions, fearing that some strange thing would suddenly attack him.
Mei Qian frowned and pulled out the Mingquan Knife from the ground while looking left and right.
The moment he turned around and threw the Tang Dao, he could only see a dark shadow.
It was about the same height as a human being, but the reason why he was sure that it was not a human being was because the strange posture of the opponent hiding the knife was not something humans could do.
His purpose of shooting Tang Dao was not to kill people, so the blade was aimed at the legs. A human with quick reaction would basically avoid it by turning sideways.
But when Mei Qian's Tang Dao approached, he could see clearly that the thing dodged very quickly, and at the same time turned sideways, twisting his body into a twist.
Then the thing's entire body dwarfed, and like a spring, it disappeared in an instant, and even his eyesight could not catch up with it.
This set of difficult movements can be done by everyone...
Bah, humans can't do it.
Suddenly, Mei Qian's vigilant eyes fell on Ning Chi.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yu noticed something unusual about him and followed his gaze.
"You guys..." Ning Chi, who was relatively calm at first, couldn't help but feel scared when he saw the two of them looking at him, and he also realized that there might be something behind his back.
Just when he was about to turn around and take a look, there was a "swish" sound, and a shining sword passed over his shoulder and slashed directly into the empty space behind him.
"Squeak..." There was another sharp howl, but this sound was much shorter than before. Ning Chi could even feel a gust of wind blowing from behind.
At the same time, Zhang Yu's pistol also fired instantly.
The loud sound of gunfire made Ning Chi turn around faster, but what he saw was the same as before, empty.
Zhang Yu held up his gun and used his headlight to look in the direction of the monster's escape for a long time. Finally, he could only give up in disappointment.
He shook his head and asked with some confusion: "This man is too fast, even bullets can't hit him."
"Human?" Mei Qian, who was bending down to pick up the Tang Dao, snorted. He straightened up and slapped Ning Chi on the shoulder. He turned his body forcefully and pointed at the back of his heart.
Zhang Yu came to see.
"Hiss..." The latter's pupils shrank suddenly.
At the same time, Ning Chi raised his eyebrows, took off his already wet coat, looked at the light, and exclaimed.
I saw that there was a blood-red handprint in the middle of the back of the blue sweatshirt he was wearing.
The key is that such an obvious mark was obviously pressed by the thing behind him just now. Based on his reaction ability, he was not aware of it.
Mei Qian kicked something on the ground again: "That thing fell down."
Ning Chi and Zhang Yu hurriedly approached and saw a pair of red gloves spread out on the ground.
"Gloves?" Ning Chi picked them up and held them up to the light. He saw that the gloves were as thin as cicada wings, almost transparent, but the palm prints on the inside of the palms were clearly visible. But what Mei Qian said behind him shocked him.
With a shake of his hand, the thing fell to the ground again.
"This is human skin." Mei Qian sneered: "I cut it off from that monster's arm."
"You mean, that monster is..." Ning Chi's eyes widened.
"Yes, the so-called monster is an entire adult human skin." Mei Qian lowered his eyes. The man who had been clinging to Ning Chi just now looked like a person under the light, but from the angle he was standing.
, obviously much thinner than normal people.
He didn't expect that there would be such evil things in this underground maze. He didn't know what the principle was that could allow such a thin piece of human skin to move freely.
This world is becoming increasingly confusing.
After a small setback, the three of them decided to continue walking.
However, for a long way down there, none of them were in the mood to talk anymore.
Especially Mei Qian, after seeing this kind of monster, couldn't help but become more worried about Maomao's situation.
I don’t know how long I’ve been walking, but the corridor has many twists and turns, and I haven’t even reached the end yet.
It was Zhang Yu who broke the silence: "Why is this passage so long?"
He has experienced the exploration of the underground altar in the Xia capital. According to experts, according to the production capacity of the ancients, building such a large-scale underground building not only requires the efforts of the country, but also takes many years to complete. It is already rare in the world.
But the corridor here is actually longer than the Xiadu underground, and it looks more complicated.
Mei Qian did not answer, and he was not surprised by this. I don’t know what era this place is from. Even the "electric gate" can be built. In comparison, it is not that big of a scale.
By this time, he no longer dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
Perhaps seeing that the other two were not in the mood to answer, Zhang Yu no longer bothered to adjust the atmosphere.
At this time, the corridor they were walking on gradually changed slightly on both sides.
The bloody handprints that had disappeared for a long time actually reappeared.
And this time, it was even denser than before.
There are simply handprints next to each other, and some of them are large and some are small, which looks very scary.
Seeing this, Mei Qian paused and drew out the Mingquan knife.
Under his influence, Zhang Yu raised his pistol and Ning Chi tightened his grip on the dagger.
Mei Qian's ears were astonishing, and he heard a strange "swishing" sound in front of him, and occasionally there were gusts of wind. He expected that the exit should not be far away, and there must be something in front of him.
Even though the three of them stepped lightly at this time, they approached slowly and soon saw the exit of the corridor.
The strong light of the headlamp can illuminate several magnificent lava pillars, and it seems that there is a natural cave in front.
The three of them looked at each other, walked side by side, and stepped out of the corridor at the same time.
It is indeed a cave, not very wide. You can see the rock walls on both sides at a glance. The top of the cave is not high from the ground, and some hanging stone milk can block the view.
Just looking into the depths, all structures are like this, and I don't know how long this cave is.
The three of them did not appreciate this natural wonder at this moment. Instead, they walked around the stone pillars and moved forward slowly.
Such an evil place forced them to be cautious.
"Huh? There's someone lying in front of you."
While Mei Qian was listening carefully to what was going on ahead, Zhang Yu suddenly made a discovery.
I saw a man in mountaineering clothes with his head lowered and leaning on a stalagmite.
Judging from the style of the clothes, he is most likely someone from Maomao's team.
Zhang Yu and Ning Chi were refreshed and immediately stepped forward to investigate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they took a step forward, they were grabbed by Mei Qian.
"Wait, something is wrong..." the latter warned, and as he spoke, he snatched the dagger from Ning Chi's hand.
Then, Mei Qian strode up to the man and used a dagger to open the man's chin. With a little force, the man fell to the ground.
"Dead?" Zhang Yu and Ning Chi also walked up to them.
Mei Qian hummed softly, and with a slip of the dagger in his hand, he lifted the man's collar from his back.
I saw that there was a bloody hole the size of a chopstick on the man's neck near his spine.
Mei Qian suddenly frowned, pressed the dagger close to the blood hole, and then stood up to avoid it.
The scene that followed made the three of them, including him, gasp.
It turned out that with just a slight press, green juice came out of the man's body.
As the juice gushed out, the man's body quickly shriveled up like a deflated rubber ball.
A seemingly complete corpse, after a few breaths, only a thin layer of skin was left...
