Inside The Black Mist Chapter 920: Foreign objects in the ancient city
Hearing this sharp whistling sound, Shi Huo and the others all changed expression, they obviously knew what it was.
Shi Huo exclaimed: "Go quickly, that is the 'Shadow of Death'."
Someone said doubtfully: "Isn't this kind of thing only found deep in the ground? We are still far away from the ground. When will they come here?"
Someone worried: "If they have all come here, I'm afraid we won't be able to go underground to explore in the future."
At this time, the fat man on the iron chain suddenly became agile, and came to the vicinity in two or three strokes. Liu Ya pulled him, and Fusheng rolled and fell into the window.
Shi Huo didn't stay any longer, and led the way ahead, leading everyone out of the room in front of them.
Under the dark building, those whistling sounds could be heard from time to time, and they were getting closer. Tianyang turned on the light to shine down, and while the beam of light was swimming, he suddenly saw a gray figure on the body of a building opposite.
It seems to be a man, and the gold digger's equipment can even be seen on it. Such as safety helmets, thick leather jackets, multi-functional belts and so on. But this man is gray in tone, whether it is the body, clothing or equipment, it seems to be coated with a layer of gray.
Moreover, the man's figure has a sense of illusion, it is translucent, and Tianyang can see the cracks on the wall through him.
At this time, the man looked up and saw that there were no facial features on his face.
A face is extremely flat!
Tian Yang stepped back immediately, put away the flashlight, and caught up with Shi Huo and the others in front.
Hearing Fusheng walking, he grabbed Shihuo and asked, "Then what is the shadow of death?"
Shi Huo, who was walking around, said solemnly: "The first time I discovered them was Uncle Aliwang and the others when they were young. At that time, Huang Sheng was still very strong and often took charge of underground exploration work."
"Once, they accidentally entered the city's underground waterway. According to their description, it was like a huge labyrinth. There were not only dangerous creatures in it, but also the things we saw just now."
"Shadow of Death."
"When they saw that kind of thing for the first time, those things were mostly residents of the previous city. They were already dead, but they were 'alive' in some form, and they had all kinds of weird things. ability."
A man next to him with three red spots on his face added: "Some of these ghost things can change their appearance at will, and become friends or relatives you know."
"Some can completely hide their body, so that you can't see it. And when it touches you, you will disappear, and the people next to you will not notice."
"Some are not aggressive, but they whisper to you all the time, and only you can hear them. When you hear these whispers too much, you will gradually lose your mind and become crazy."
"Some have abnormal resistance, whether it is star element rifles, solid bullets, bombs, flames, or toxins, it is difficult to harm them."
"One of them is the most terrifying. They can release black flames, which cannot be extinguished. People who are burned to death by the flames will also become 'shadows of death' and join their ranks."
Shi Huo nodded: "In the beginning, the 'Shadow of Death' was only a resident of the ancient city, but now, in it, our former companions, relatives, and even enemies have appeared."
"They are constantly growing, but they are usually active in the underground waterways of the ancient city. I don't know why they came to the edge of the city today." The fat man and Liu Ya exchanged glances, and said in surprise: "I thought these Strange things only exist in the reverse world, I didn't expect this place to be so weird, it's hard for you to explore here all year round."
Shi Huo shook his head: "We never go deep into the ancient city, unless we encounter some force majeure. We rarely reach the ground, so it's actually not as dangerous as you think."
"The dangers we encountered mainly came from unknown environments, and we died because we were not careful. As for weird things like the 'Shadow of Death', we did not encounter many times."
Fusheng said: "You should tell all the weird things you know, so that we can have a bottom line in our hearts. Don't run into each other suddenly like just now, and don't know what we encountered."
Shi Huo casually patted the man with red lines on his face: "Ah Jiu, tell me."
The young man named 'Ajiu' nodded and said: "There are many strange things in the ancient underground city. We think that maybe after the fall of the ancient city, people did not die completely. Some people survived. They came down, and for unknown reasons, they mutated, and many strange things were born."
"In addition to the 'Shadow of Death', when we were active in the ancient city, the most we encountered was a kind of thing called 'Screamers'. They seemed to have lived underground for many years, their eyes had degenerated, and their skin was extremely Pale people."
"But please note that these 'people' seem to grow together with the wall and the rock formation. They will suddenly emerge from the wall near you, but they will not completely detach from the wall or rock, there must be a part of the wall. .”
"Once they find you, they will scream. The sound is so ear-piercing that it will rupture your eardrums and even break the blood vessels and organs in your body."
"Squealers' skin is as hard as a rock, it is hard to hurt, but they are afraid of light sources, if you shine a bright light on it, it can be temporarily driven away. Alternatively, it can be covered with black opaque things , so that it stops screaming."
The fat man was stunned: "What a strange thing."
"There is another kind that is more common, we call it 'corpse fungus'. It is a fungus, but it will appear in the image of a human corpse."
Ah Jiu said again: "Of course, this so-called 'corpse' is woven by countless tiny hyphae, but if you just look at the surface, it's hard to see through."
"It's very real. It looks like a man who explored in the ancient city but unfortunately died. There are even clothes and equipment on the body. Of course, these are all fake."
"Every corpse woven by the corpse fungus is almost the same 'person', and the wounds on the body are all exactly the same. The left rib of the corpse must have a penetrating wound, and the right hand must be broken and placed at a strange angle. The body of the corpse There are broken teeth, and there will always be a wound on the face where the bone can be seen."
"But if you use a sharp object to dissect the corpse, you will find that there are no parts that the human body should have, and it is full of dense hyphae. But at this time, once those mycelia are exposed to the air, they will grow violently, and then It entangles you and pulls you into the 'corpse'. In the end, you will become its food, and your flesh and blood will melt, leaving only indigestible bones and various clothing and equipment."
At this time, they came to a gate, Shi Huo raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then he checked by the gate for a while.
Ajiu explained: "When we leave, we usually make some arrangements by the door. If we are our own people, we will know these small organs and will carefully avoid them, or reset them after using the door. .”
"But if there are foreign objects in the ancient city passing by, they will not do this, so by observing the integrity of the mechanism, we can simply judge that there may be foreign objects here recently, which will improve the safety of our exploration."
Shi Huo breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem."
Tianyang saw him groping around the door for a while, then took out a hair-thin iron wire, rolled it up, and put it aside.
Then several men raised their weapons and pointed at the gate. Shi Huo squatted on the ground, pushed the doors hard, and let them open slowly.
The moment the door opened, Tian Yang suddenly saw a pale, naked figure attached to a pillar inside.
It seemed to be a man with profound features and closed eyes.
The crown of his head is smooth, without a single hair. His hands, palms almost merged with the pillar. And the part below the waist is 'buried' among the pillars.
When the door opened, he opened his eyes suddenly, but there was a sudden bright light, and in this violent light, he twisted his body and retracted into the pillar.
When the light disappeared, the man had disappeared.
Tianyang put down his hand at this moment, the 'shiny' ring on his finger, the inlaid gemstones were fading shimmer.
Shi Huo and the others turned their backs to the light source, so they wouldn't be blinded by the light, but they were blinded by the light for a while, and it took a while for their eyesight to recover.
Ah Jiu exclaimed even more: "It's the screamer. Fortunately, the guest reacted quickly. Otherwise, it would be enough for us to drink a pot once it screams."
Shi Huo said with a serious face: "First it was the 'Shadow of Death', and now even the screamers have come to places where they rarely appear. I'm afraid something happened in this ancient city."
Tianyang thought of the illusion he saw yesterday when he devoured the snake scale for the moonlight, and wondered if the changes in the ancient city were related to it.
After Shi Huo and the others rested for a while, they were about to enter the gate. Before leaving, Shi Huo ordered: "Be careful from here on. If you step through this gate, you will officially enter the underground stone city."
"Also, the Shadow of Death and the Screamer have gone to places where they would not haunt before, so I can't guarantee what will happen next."
"In short, I have a hunch that the ancient city has become more dangerous than before. Although I don't know what happened, the road from here to the Snake Temple will never be peaceful."
"Therefore, we must be extremely careful and never be careless."
Tianyang said: "Fusheng, put a barrier on each of them, and try not to interrupt it."
The fat man nodded readily: "Yes."
He mobilized Xingyun and put a Xingyun barrier on Shi Huo and the others, giving them an extra layer of protection in the future.
Tianyang said to Liu Ya again: "You go with them and protect them. Xingluo and I will take the backseat."
Liu Ya did not object, and took out two gorgeous pistols from his body, and walked among Shi Huo and the others.
Fatty Fusheng was in the middle, responsible for providing protection for the people in front. After forming the team, Tianyang nodded to Shihuo, and everyone stepped through the gate and walked into the hall behind the gate.
The moment he stepped into the hall, Tianyang suddenly felt something strange. Like an invisible giant python in the dark, its cold and wet body gently brushes past the sky.
The corners of Tianyang's mouth raised slightly, it seems that the 'owner' of the ancient city already knew about the arrival of these unexpected guests...
