A chill instantly crept into her heart. Looking at the messy row of bare feet and footprints under her feet, Xia Yuxi suddenly realized that there was probably someone standing behind her.
The man held his breath completely - or in other words, he didn't breathe at all, and his body temperature didn't even exist. He just stood behind her with his eyes closed and his head lowered, and his body was almost pressed against her back.
This picture flashed through her mind, and Xia Yuxi was suddenly excited. However, when the flashlight shone on the ground, she only saw her lonely shadow on the ground.
"If there is really someone behind me...then why is there no shadow of him?"
Xia Yuxi subconsciously wanted to turn back, but she suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart and her neck was extremely stiff, as if something bad would happen if she turned back.
Xia Yuxi trusted her instincts so much that she forcibly resisted the urge to look back. She didn't dare to hesitate at all and rushed towards the wooden door of the hut.
"Bang!"
The door was much more fragile than imagined. It fell to the ground with a push. The huge sound spread far away in the darkness. There were many strange sounds vaguely in the distance, as if something was approaching.
The light of the strong flashlight broke through the darkness. Looking at the almost identical huts outside the house, Xia Yuxi was secretly shocked. She did not expect that this door would be so fragile, otherwise it would not have made such a big noise.
"What happened..."
The loud noise seemed to attract the attention of some beings. She couldn't think too much and could only choose a direction to escape at will.
The surroundings were too dark, and the huts were arranged randomly as if they were copied and pasted. There was no reference other than a hut or a hut, and it was like an alternative maze.
Xia Yuxi didn't care about leaving any marks. She put aside all distracting thoughts and relied on the intuition brought by [telepathy] to constantly change directions and run away into the distance.
She ran on the dark dirt road, and the sound of rapid footsteps kept ringing in the darkness. It seemed to be coming from under his feet, but it sounded extremely heavy.
Xia Yuxi's heart suddenly beat faster as she listened. The footsteps were too deep. Although they almost completely overlapped with her footsteps, she knew very well that these were not her footsteps!
Someone is following me closely!
"Is it that thing that was standing behind me before?"
She suppressed the urge to look back and thought about the next strategy.
Her knowledge of this place was limited to the memory of the deceased couple. Although she had escaped from the coffin with little risk, her knowledge of the outside was completely blank.
It can be said that the most dangerous time has just begun——
In today's era, the most terrifying thing is always the unknown.
Xia Yuxi swore that she had never seen such a place before. Even though she had seen many weird restricted areas in videos, she had never had such a weird feeling.
The sky is always dark, as if the concept of daylight does not exist here.
The soil is also deep black, as if it is part of the boundless darkness, and like the dark sea. It is unknown how many lives have been buried to make it so soft and fertile.
Xia Yuxi saw that there was a black object floating back and forth on the "sea surface" not far away, like a shark's dorsal fin. It seemed that something was swimming freely in the mud, searching for prey.
The gray mist dispersed, and a group of red-eyed crows the size of basketballs passed by in the sky. One of them suddenly spread its wings and flew low into the air. Its blood-red eyeballs turned and landed on her.
Xia Yuxi's hair stood on end. She always felt that this crow seemed to have extraordinary intelligence and seemed to be looking at her with great interest.
She kept running, and the crow was hovering in the air, twisting its neck and staring at her. After a while, it flapped its wings and was ready to leave.
But before it could fly high, a dark dorsal fin suddenly appeared in the soil under its feet. The next second, a huge creature leaped up, biting most of the crow's body, dragging it down, and blending into the soil together.
among.
Is this a shark?
A shark swimming in the dirt?
Xia Yuxi was stunned for a moment. She actually didn't see very clearly, she only saw a vague outline.
However, perhaps to allow her to see more clearly, the next moment, she saw the huge creature emerging from the soil again, its huge body hovering in mid-air.
She could clearly see that it was indeed a big black shark!
It has no eyes, the fangs in its mouth are covered with barbs, and there are two large round mouths on both sides of its abdomen, which looks particularly weird.
Xia Yuxi looked at it and gradually realized that something was wrong with this shark.
This time it didn't seem to jump out of the "water" on its own initiative, but rather as if it was hung up by some invisible rope. Its huge body kept struggling in mid-air, but it was still hung higher and higher uncontrollably.
"No..."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Xia Yuxi's scalp went numb. She whispered, and a word appeared in her mind - fishing.
But...what kind of existence can lift such a big shark?
She couldn't imagine it.
The next moment, I saw a black shadow flashing in mid-air. It moved so fast that I couldn't tell if it was an arm. The shark disappeared in an instant. Gray mist surged and blood began to rain in the sky.
The rain fell, but it was quickly absorbed by the ground, and the world turned pure black again.
As if they smelled the smell of blood, the army of ants arranged in a pattern of crying faces came from nowhere, burrowed into the blood-stained soil in a row, and crawled out again soon after, adding a few more colors to the pattern of crying faces.
It was very festive, as if something happy had happened.
Xia Yuxi felt it was absurd, but couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
She has seen many similar situations along the way, but the good news is that these monsters can't seem to see her, and even if they are fighting, they will consciously stay away from the surrounding houses, which makes her feel more at ease -
At least to themselves, they are not a threat yet.
Xia Yuxi has clearly realized that even the seemingly weak ants on the ground are not something she can easily deal with.
The crying face pattern they formed would make her feel dizzy even if she looked at it twice.
If we talk about strength alone, she is probably at the bottom of this place!
"What the hell is this place?"
Xia Yuxi was confused, but her steps never stopped. After all, although these strange creatures did not target her, there was always something following her...
The sound of heavy footsteps was never far away.
"Xia Yuxi!"
Just when she was anxious, a shout suddenly came from behind her. She was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes lit up. This voice... was Lu Zhan!
She was about to turn her head, but the indescribable palpitating feeling came over her again. She resisted the urge to turn back and an idea came to her mind.
Is it really Lu Zhan who called me?
Although Lu Zhan mentioned that he would find a way to enter the "dream", it is still unknown whether he has actually entered.
What she longed for most just now was to see Lu Zhan as soon as possible. After all, that guy was very powerful. Who knew that she heard Lu Zhan's voice right after she thought about it.
Combined with the uneasiness she had when she wanted to turn back, this voice sounded like it was trying to trick her into turning back...
"Why are you still standing there? Run quickly, there is a corpse behind you!"
While hesitating, Lu Zhan's voice came again, and at the same time, he also conveyed a terrible message.
What's following behind me... is a corpse?
Even so, Xia Yuxi still did not look back, but instead quickened her pace. The glove on her right hand was extremely cold, and she tightened her grip on the ice carving knife.
"Why are you running?"
Behind him, Lu Zhan's voice was filled with surprise and helplessness, "You will be discovered by those monsters like this!"
Sometimes he asked me to run quickly, and sometimes he asked me why I was running. It seemed that the thing behind me didn't have a very bright mind...
The inconsistent arguments of "Lu Zhan" made Xia Yuxi completely confirm one thing. The person behind her was definitely not Lu Zhan, so her brain was working rapidly and she ran tirelessly.
The heavy footsteps were like maggots attached to the bones, and they couldn't get rid of them no matter what.
...until she heard the voice of the man she hated.
"Hey, this guy is carrying someone on his back even when running. Is he exercising with weights?"
"Uncle, to be honest, I think you can learn this kind of exercise."
