After pronouncing the name, Ellie's feet were covered with all kinds of snakes. These snakes all had a white crescent pattern on their foreheads. They swarmed in and tried to engulf Ellie completely.
The eldest lady was surprised and tried to back away, but it had no effect at all. She was quickly swallowed up by the tumbling snakes. Just when she wanted to use magic, a huge snake would pass through the snakes and lick it.
Lick this foreign guest.
Inexplicable panic arose in Ellie's heart, whether it was the hissing sound in her ears, the cold touch on her exposed skin, or the huge snake letter, it all made her fall into fear.
This is not true! This is not true! Wake up, Ali Shafiq! Miss Wizard shouted to herself in her heart. She closed her eyes and shouted in her heart: Get out of my head.
The cold touch on her body began to disappear, and the hissing in her ears became lighter and softer, and finally disappeared. Ellie opened her eyes, and the snakes and the huge snake letter were gone.
Cold sweat fell from her forehead. The eldest lady took a few deep breaths and suppressed all the remaining fears in her heart. Now was not the time to be surprised.
At this moment, she heard some sounds coming from the other end of the room. The restlessness made the eldest lady immediately alert. Due to the existence of the chameleon spell, she was almost integrated with the surrounding environment at this time. But she also understood that vision was not
The strong point of these monsters that live in the dark.
The noise got closer and closer, and soon several ape-like creatures appeared from the other end of the room. They looked hairy and stunted, with protruding heads and foreheads, huge eyes, and slender arms.
These disturbing creatures were probably inspecting something as they staggered around the room, but they soon gave up the search and started arguing instead.
As the quarrel became more and more intense, the apes began to attack each other. The internal fighting came and went quickly, and the victors unceremoniously devoured the losers alive.
While those creatures were enjoying their own kind, the eldest lady quietly walked to the other side. The smell of blood filled the room, and together with the humid air, the mixture of the two made people want to vomit.
After escaping from the room, the eldest lady continued to move forward. Those snake-man murals must have cast a magic spell. Even if they were partially damaged, they would still make people hallucinate after looking at them for a long time.
As for the ape-like monsters, she didn't have a clue yet, but judging from the violence and cannibalism they displayed, these creatures were definitely not something to discuss.
Ellie wrote down everything she found in her notes so that she could be fully prepared the next time she came. She checked the road ahead and made sure there was no danger before moving on.
After walking for a short distance, there was a fork in the road ahead. In addition to the main passage, there was an entrance on the left and right sides.
The eldest lady stopped and watched for a while. She squatted down and found two stones of the right size on the ground. She threw one to the right first, and the stone made a crisp sound when it hit the rock wall.
After that, the surroundings fell into silence again.
Then came the left side. After the sound sounded this time, a burst of light footsteps came. If you don't listen carefully, this footsteps will be easily ignored.
Through the light of the lichen, Ellie did not notice the visitor, but she did not think that she was hallucinating. She thought about whether to give herself an owl eye to see more clearly, but she was afraid that she would use magic.
The sound will startle the visitor.
After weighing it, the eldest lady gave up the idea. She clenched her wand tightly and carefully walked to the entrance on the right. After passing through a narrower passage, she found herself in a cave with no light, and Ellie had to
Cast a night vision spell on yourself.
This spell is safer than Owl Eyes. It can be cast without chanting a spell, and the sound made by casting the spell is also lighter. However, the shortcomings are equally obvious. The night vision effect lasts only five minutes.
about.
With the help of the magic spell, Ellie could see the entire cave clearly. It was quite spacious and there were no stalagmites or stalactites. The large number of crystals inlaid on the rock wall caught her attention.
The extending rock wall has a weird shape and twisted structure. It is decorated with interlaced bronze tubes and inlaid with crystals of various colors and sizes. Most of the copper tubes are pierced into the rock wall, while the rest eventually meet at the top.
At the spire.
There was something standing on top of those spikes. Ellie carefully looked closer and found that they were human heads, twenty human heads in total.
The eldest lady originally thought that this should be an execution chamber, or a display room for snake people. But in front of the desecrated rock wall, there was a rock carved into the shape of a seat. Although the carved seat
The backrest is probably extremely uncomfortable for humans.
A chair, why carve a solitary chair? Ellie was puzzled, and she looked around again. Apart from the desecrated rock wall and the chair, there was nothing else of note in the whole room.
Well, now is not the time to dwell on this. While recording, Ellie planned to leave this ghostly place. But at this moment, a familiar business came from afar.
At first, she thought she was hallucinating again. The voice was vague and not very clear, but it was indeed Xing Ze's voice. Ellie couldn't help but frown. She turned her head and looked at the rock wall, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Sure, but Xing Ze's voice gradually became clearer.
"Where...are you taking me? If...I'm locked up...can I...please have a single cell? You know, I'm not a good roommate."
The last sentence was quite clear. Ellie speculated that Xing Ze was moving and that he was coming along the main passage, so the business of talking became more and more clear.
Thinking of this, Ellie hurriedly turned around to take a look - although it was probably caused by hallucination - she preferred to believe that Xing Ze was here.
However, the moment she turned around, her sleeve accidentally brushed the seat, and a sound similar to the gentle wind sounded.
Goosebumps appeared on Ellie's back. She stopped and turned her head to look at the twisted rock wall again in confusion. She immediately understood that the sound came from those heads.
They meow softly in a chorus of wails. Their eyes are closed, but the muscles in their lips and throats quiver as they sing. Some of the heads appear to belong to European males, while others
They are men and women from Africa.
The whispering songs sung from these heads had a sense of beauty, but Ellie still felt a chill, and she headed towards the exit without looking back.
Now, she finally understood what it was. It was a pipe organ. It was not a showroom or an execution chamber, but a music room.
