The painter only dug a layer of soil as deep as one person. After jumping from the entrance of the hole, the passage began to narrow. Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to climb all the way down, digging down the soil in front of him, and then transformed it into
Cards - the cards she could transform every day were limited, and she quickly used them up. Fortunately, at this time, the dirt road ahead gradually opened up, and finally stretched into a spacious hollow.
They finally straightened up and moved forward as quietly as possible, holding on to the earth wall.
Beneath the earth tens of meters deep, everything is immersed in the gloomy darkness, blocking people's vision. There are no fingers in the field of vision, only the earthy smell is getting stronger and stronger, and from time to time, there will be "cuckling" under the feet.
With a sound, she stepped on a pool of slippery slime. The two groped for a while in the dark smell, and she felt a faint fig smell hit her ears, and then Sibaan's voice rang out in a low voice: "
illumination."
Before Lin Sanjiu could take out the [Ability Polishing Agent], a pale white light suddenly shot out from her shoulder. When she looked down, she realized that what Sibaan had just ordered was the multi-clawed weapon on her shoulder.
Little machinery.
As soon as the light fell into the darkness, it immediately dispersed faintly and filled the entire cave together with countless floating dust.
The earth hole looks like it is only twenty or thirty square meters, about the same size as a bedroom. Occasionally, there are curved dents on the earth wall, as if they were pressed by something passing by; the ground is slippery.
, the pools of mucus shimmered with wetness.
The wall facing the two of them seemed to be able to absorb all light, and was still enveloped in darkness. Lin Sanjiu walked towards that wall, and the light slowly floated past her footsteps, falling into the darkness.
Inside - she looked up and down, and couldn't help being slightly startled. She turned back and shouted in a low voice: "There is a cavity behind this, we can continue to go down!"
"This earth hole also has a radioactive trend on both sides, and it gets wider as it goes to the back." Siba'an also followed up and looked at it through the light: "...However, this cavity is really big enough."
His voice floated empty into the cavity and gradually dissipated. The cavity behind the earth cave looked like a hall connected to the bedrooms, but it was too deep - the light could vaguely illuminate the arch above the head.
The raised dome could not illuminate the deep darkness below.
Connecting the cavity and the earth cave is a slope much wider than the wall of the earth cave, and the ground is also covered with winding dents. It's just that the dents on the slope are thicker and the marks left are deeper.
, the spots were mixed together in confusion; the two stepped on these uneven dents and walked slowly down in the empty silence, getting further and further away from the world, but they seemed to be far away from an absurd dream.
Getting closer.
There were more cavities below the cavity, and each one was deeper and wider than the last. After walking for an unknown number of hours, they could no longer even see the edge of the cavity, and only the curved indentation on the ground still accompanied them.
Two people, but the dent now is enough for the two of them to lie in side by side. Sibaan took out two more flashlights, but after the light pierced the darkness, it could only gradually dissipate helplessly, and finally melted into
In the distant darkness.
"The ground is level here,"
In the constantly overlapping light and shadow, Sba'an's face looked like a reflection under the water of a forest lake, almost without the breath of mortals. He put away the cylinder on the ground, stood up and said softly: "Maybe there are more
The cavity that continues to go deeper... I don’t know how deep it will go before it ends.”
Lin Sanjiu turned her head and looked around. Wherever she could see, there was only endless darkness. The air did not become as thin as she thought, and her breathing was still as smooth as when she was on the ground. Even though there was another person below.
They didn't know which direction to go in the huge cavity; no matter which direction they went, it looked like the same distant nothingness.
She stood still for a while and suddenly asked softly: "Why is the cavity getting bigger and bigger?"
Sibaan was startled, then frowned and remained silent for a long time.
"What? What do you think?"
"I seemed to have a thought just now, let me think about it..." The blond man muttered to himself for a while, but suddenly raised his head - Lin Sanjiu was startled, and was about to ask him if he was
He had an idea, but unexpectedly he grabbed her wrist: "Did you hear that?"
What did you hear?
She held her breath, listened carefully, and then her expression changed involuntarily: "Then, what is that sound?"
Just like storms and raindrops hitting the earth, a rustling sound that became louder and clearer came from the dome above their heads; the two of them stood there in shock and doubt, and the flashlight light continued to shine upward.
Sweep away, but before the light illuminates the dome, it is swallowed up by darkness just like before.
They were currently deep underground, and even if a heavy rain suddenly fell outside, they would never hear any movement.
When the flashlight's aperture cut through the darkness again, a thin black shadow passed through their field of vision.
"Over there!" Lin Sanjiu shouted, and the light in their hands immediately converged in the same direction. The flashlight's aperture continued to burn out a bright light in the darkness, but the aperture was empty;
The rustling sound on the floor became louder, humming and intertwined in the cavity, echoing into an indistinct sound.
Just when Lin Sanjiu almost thought that he had just seen it wrong, another shapeless black shadow suddenly crossed the circle of light and fell to the ground in the distance with a "clack".
That thing was like a signal - then, countless fine soil began to fall in clusters from the dome above our heads. In the diffuse dust, black shadows of different shapes and sizes rushed in one after another.
caught in the light; in the distance where the aperture could not illuminate, there were more black shadows like raindrops crossing the air and falling straight to the ground.
"Go back first," Siba'an grabbed her, and the two of them ran towards the direction they came from. In just a moment, the black shadows falling from the dome were as dense as a heavy rain;
When they ran out of the dome, countless wet and smelly things fell on them one after another, sliding down their collars and into their clothes.
Lin Sanjiu endured nausea, covered her head with one hand, and desperately swept away the things on her body with the other hand; a familiar rotten smell with a fishy smell floated into her nose again.
The last time she smelled this smell was on those "human figures" made of purple and black tongues.
"It's those purple-black tongues!" She was shocked, and shouted to Siba'an; the white light of the [Protective Force Field] on her body appeared, and she re-wrapped herself: "Be careful!"
Sibaan let go of her hand, and several lightning-like dazzling lights lit up on his body, crackling the air, and jumped to knock down several black shadows one after another. More and more shadows fell from his head.
However, he stopped suddenly, covered his head and face, and raised his voice: "No, look at our feet!"
Lin Sanjiu almost bumped into him, hurriedly lowered her head and glanced, and couldn't help being stunned.
It is true that the fishy smell came from the purple-black tongue, and the black things that fell down were indeed those maggot-like black things - but to be more precise, they were their fragments.
Smashed pieces of meat, pieces of broken shells, and occasionally a small piece of needle, or a pool of unknown liquid, muddy the ground under their feet, shimmering like a swamp of carrion. Lin Sanjiu
Enduring the constant feeling of being hit by the dirt on her body, she hurriedly called for the tent to be unfolded over the two of them; listening to the continuous "bang bang" sounds on the tent cloth, she finally managed to take a breath.
She lowered her head and looked at the ground carefully for a while, filled with doubts; when she raised her head again, her eyes met Sibaan's.
"Why...why are they all pieces like mud?" She opened her mouth and felt that the smell seemed to have penetrated between her teeth. She spat a few times and wiped her mouth and asked: "Where did it all come from? This is
What to do?"
If a large number of purple-black "tongues" emerge from the soil like just now, they may be able to cause unexpected damage in the dark.
Siba'an's profile formed a sculptural outline outside the flashlight. He took off his soaked uniform jacket, threw it away, unbuttoned his shirt and wiped his face with it, and then whispered: "
Don’t you think these things look familiar?”
"We've broken countless pieces, of course they look familiar."
"No, I mean," Siba'an said softly, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible amid the rustling sound of the rainstorm. "...These are the things we just broke."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned and looked at her feet carefully for a while.
"You mean..." When she spoke, she felt that what she was about to say was ridiculous: "After we smash these things, their broken corpses will start from - just from -"
She raised her head, glanced at the dark sky, and murmured: "...Drilled down from the earth?"
"In other words, it was brought down by some kind of force."
The blond man gently kicked open half of the incomplete black strip of flesh with the toe of his boot, looked at it and whispered: "They are all dead and will not move at all."
What force could it be? And why should we take them down?
While Lin Sanjiu was full of surprise, Sibaan continued: "You asked me just now why the cavities are bigger than the other... Then I had an idea."
"What's the idea?"
"These cavities must have been prepared for that thing you and I call the Mother Queen, who lives underground..." His voice trembled slightly again, as if he was enduring some kind of trembling excitement: "
In other words, it was only as big as a room at first, and then it grew bigger and bigger, and had to constantly dig out new and bigger cavities to accommodate it..."
Even though the tension was numbed by anesthesia, Lin Sanjiu could not help but feel her heart shrink.
"You feel it too, right?" Sibaan sighed like a whisper, gently passing by her ears, his breath blowing her broken hair and tickling her neck: "Behind us, there is now a huge monster.
