It seems that it was the person who helped us. The leader of the Seven Stars is very cruel. He is laying an ambush here. If we don't know in advance, it will be difficult for us to escape from his murderous hands. Even if we know, we just fell from above.
That moment was enough for us to die ten times.
We cheered up and observed the surrounding environment. This was another passage. At the end, there was a dark underground cave. It was very wide. There was even a lot of water on the ground in some places, and there were even holes on the top in some places.
It keeps dripping down.
There is a strange scene in front of us. There are many stone statues in this cave, all of which are statues of stone monkeys. These statues are vividly carved, some squatting, some standing, and various movements. Almost none of them looks like a stone monkey.
The movements are the same. They are placed all over the place in a messy manner, with no rules and no idea of the meaning of their existence here.
"We need to be careful. According to that person's tips, this side of the passage should also be full of dangers. This place looks a little unusual." Wang Kui reminded us in a low voice.
I'm not sure. What's wrong with this place? Apart from these statues, everything is clearly visible, and there's nothing special. But before we walked too far, we saw some residual things on the ground, some sparse blood stains.
And some people used simple tools and weapons. It seems that someone was in danger here, someone was injured, and the weapons were left here.
When we reached the middle, Wang Kui in front suddenly stopped, looked around suspiciously and said, "Do you have a feeling that we seem to be being stared at by something all the time?"
I nodded, I had the same feeling. No matter where we went, the feeling of being watched closely would never go away. At first I thought it was my psychology, but after hearing what Wang Kui said, I just couldn’t get rid of it.
I found that they all felt this way when I was not alone. Then, this matter was a bit unsophisticated.
"Look at those monkeys, do they look like they can move? Why do they look at us no matter where we go?" the fat man shouted.
Only then did we focus on the stone monkeys. They still maintained their original movements. When we first saw them, they were all facing us. Now that we have walked such a long way, they still have no back.
Facing us. This can only mean one thing, they can at least rotate.
"Do you still remember the three stone gates we entered when we were up there?" Wang Kui's face gradually became serious, and even his voice became heavier. "At that time, I felt a little strange, why are the symbols representing heaven, earth and people used?
Did the stone monkey replace humans? I had known that humans are the spirit of all things. Now it seems that I guessed wrong, it has no meaning at all. We saw black snakes on the waterway ahead. Perhaps these two creatures are the means of survival.
The statues here are just a symbol of their existence."
"Old boy, what do you mean? Just say it straight, don't you feel tired and confused by beating around the bush?" the fat man complained.
"What I mean is that these things may be alive. We have to get out of here quickly, otherwise we will be in trouble if we get entangled with them."
"Alive? Don't be kidding, these are stones." The fat man said with disbelief on his face.
"I'm not kidding, did you forget that dark place just now? There is a moving statue in there."
The fat man was stunned, looked at the three of us, scratched his head, then picked up the package and ran forward with his feet: "Damn, you are such fucking idiots, why are you waiting if you don't run away when you know you are alive?"
"
I was dumbfounded. He was the one who objected, and he was the first one to run away. This guy was really speechless. The three of us also came to our senses. We had to stop after running only a few steps, because several people were flying from all around.
Ten fist-sized rocks hit us like hailstones.
Sure enough, they were alive. It would be easy for so many stone monkeys to deal with us, but we soon discovered that apart from throwing stones, they did not do anything more drastic, and their bodies remained motionless, as if those stones were
The blocks are not thrown by them.
I stopped and walked curiously in front of a stone monkey. After careful observation, I found that their eyes were not stones, but rather animated, as if they were wearing stone shells. Only then did I realize that they seemed to be trapped in the stone.
, rather than a living stone monkey.
The three of them, the fat man, also gathered around. After a brief discussion, we took out tools and struck the rocks above. Although these rocks were very hard, they still couldn't withstand our strength, and soon layers of stone chips peeled off. We saw
The golden hair confirmed that there was indeed a monkey inside. But after smashing the entire statue open, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The monkey in front of us has long since died. Although the hair on his body has not fallen off, the muscles all over his body have shrunk and become hard. The skin on its head has long been gone. Judging from the stones we smashed,
, the flesh and blood on its head are stuck together with the rocks. The weirdest thing is that this monkey is obviously dead, but its eyes are still turning, seeing that we have removed the protective layer on its body.
After smashing it, it actually showed a look of fear.
Seeing this situation makes me feel horrified. Why can the eyes of a monkey that has been dead for a long time still move? In disbelief, we smashed open another statue, but the result is still the same. These are monkeys that have been dead for who knows how many years. They are
The skin was peeled off from the neck upwards, and the flesh all over the body was stiff. The only thing that could move was the eyes.
But soon we discovered a strange place. There was a hole the size of a finger above their heads. When we shined a light on it, we found that it was filled with a cotton-like white stuff and smelled faintly.
I don't know if it is to keep the body dry or for some other special purpose.
"Huh? You see, it seems like there is something on its feet." The fat man exclaimed in surprise.
Sure enough, there were two white things under the soles of the two monkeys' feet, which penetrated into the monkeys' bodies like tubes. As soon as I saw this kind of thing, for some reason, I had a feeling that the reason why this monkey was
The fact that you can still move after death is closely related to these two white things.
Driven by curiosity, I reached out and fumbled around, and the white tie suddenly trembled. I felt pain in my finger, and subconsciously retracted my hand. I found a small hole in my finger, and blood was flowing out.
.Looking at the white color, the strange thing is that there are no thorns on it, but there is a patch inside the skin of the tube that has been dyed red.
