Hua County Corpse Cave-06
Although the bottom of the hole looked real and not a good place, but no one planned to back down.
The danger was something that had been foreseen a long time ago, and no one expected to go all the way down to the burial cave, and they could go all the way to pass the level calmly and steadily.
They even praised and rejoiced while talking and joking, because of the young Gu Qi's shot, they were able to find a way to move forward without paying any price or casualties-this thing is really great, how can I take advantage of it? .
Hope there will be more good things like this.
Gu Qi jumped down first.
The space under the hole is surprisingly wide.
In other words, this place is not a narrow underground passage as imagined, but a whole wide space.
However, I don’t know whether it’s because this place is underground or there are other reasons. In short, the light here is even darker than the environment shrouded in shadow on the ground. The fluorescent lights flicker, so it won't be all pitch black.
Gu Xi walked towards the fluorescent light.
The ground under the feet is not flat, with various uneven ups and downs, and one after another small puddles are gathered because of this terrain.Gu Xi stepped on it, and water splashed everywhere.
The humidity in the surrounding air is obviously too much, hot and humid, it will make people feel as if their skin is covered with a layer of water film, a little breathless, very uncomfortable.
as well as--
Very strange.
After jumping down, you will find that the underground space does not have the soaring corpse aura as seen above.The environment here can even be regarded as "peaceful" unexpectedly, but there is no sign of any life existence or activity.
At this time, Gu Xi finally walked in front of the "fluorescence".
These "fluorescence" are actually clumps of mushrooms, the big ones can reach the calf, and the smallest ones can even reach the ankles. They grow lush and lush, and they are almost connected together to form a whole forest of bacteria.
The canopy of the mushroom is a crystal clear blue like jelly, and the fluorescence that Gu Xi saw before is also emitted by this transparent canopy; A fat chicken drumstick, inexplicably, makes people think that they should be very delicious.
"Gu Qi—" Jiang Buhuan shouted from above the entrance of the cave, "How's the situation down there?"
Gu Xi looked away from the mushroom, and instead of answering, he just let out a "huh" and said, "Guess."
Jiang Buhuan: "..."
I guess your uncle!
Jiang Buhuan felt that his hand was about to move, and he really wanted to pick up a brick or something, and hit Gu Xi hard on the head.
However, such an idea of his had only just appeared, and it hadn't even taken shape, so Gu Qi smiled.
"What?" the boy asked, "You want to hit me?"
Damn, how did he know!
Jiang Buhuan was taken aback. Even though he knew that Gu Xi couldn't see him now, he hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Where, where. Look at what you're talking about."
"How could I treat you like this? We are the classmates who love each other the most. As a monitor who takes good care of my classmates, I won't think badly about my classmates."
Gu Qi laughed again, and said, "You'd better be."
He glanced over and saw that the blood bars on Jiang Buhuan's head were gradually disappearing, which meant that some people had given up some careful thinking about dealing with him.
But what...
Gu Xi's eyes flickered.
What an interesting team, he thought.
Because the blood bars he could see were not just Jiang Buchang.
"Interesting." The young man laughed, "It seems that even if there is such a natural disaster that completely subverts everything, an enemy that stands on the absolute opposite appears..."
"Humans don't seem to have changed much."
He seemed to be smiling, but his face was full of disgust and malice, and his eyes were somewhat indifferent and cold.
Gu Xi crushed the mushroom in front of him with one foot, and crushed the thick sole of the black boots on it a few times, seeing the same faint blue fluorescent juice flowing out of the broken mushroom, he just hummed With a sound.
"Gu Xi? Gu Xi?" After Jiang Buhuan retreated, Yan Chaosheng was pushed out to take on the important task of communicating with him, "Can we come down?"
Gu Xi's attitude changed immediately, and Zhenzhen smiled like a flower in an instant: "No problem, come down."
"Nothing will happen, I'll watch," he said.
So the remaining five people also filed in from the entrance of the cave.
However, if they dared to chat and laugh with Gu Xi before, and had normal contact and communication with this prestigious and legendary celestial master; then facing the younger Gu Xi in front of them, even if the other party had nothing They said and did nothing, but they still felt a strong sense of distance and oppressive alienation.
It was as if that person had built a high wall around him. Except for Yan Chaosheng, he refused anyone to approach and enter, and he didn't bother to have any connection with the world.
Mo Jueming quietly asked Jiang Buhuan: "Did he have such a personality before?"
Jiang Buhuan also replied in a low voice: "Then this is just the tip of the iceberg."
"Proud enough, flamboyant enough, and willful enough to act only according to one's own feelings, no matter whether it is a human or a ghost, no one can make him bow his head...that is Gu Qi."
To be honest, he is a very difficult character to get along with.
But because it is too powerful, so powerful that people can't even give birth to any other thoughts, so they can only mourn and kneel down, looking up at its glory.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Gu Qi, Jiang Buchang's fingers trembled, feeling that he really wanted to light a cigarette.
So three years ago, when Gu Xi came back alone, he lost his dual spear weapon, lost his feast, lost all his past arrogance and high spirits, and became such a... "Salted fish" is considered a compliment, but When "bad" is used as a compliment, everyone who knows him is shocked.
Jiang Buhuan smacked his lips, but suddenly laughed: "Anyway, this is really..."
It's been a long time.
Jiang Quechen didn't dare to go up and talk to this Gu Xi, but silently released his puppet to find out information.
After a while, Jiang Quechen, who integrated the puppet intelligence, sighed.
"Same as the upper layer, there is no passage on the [bright side]." Jiang Quechen said, "Judging from the part that the puppet bird has explored so far, it is all dark and damp like the environment we are in now. Depressions. No second life in sight except for those glowing mushrooms."
Yan Chaosheng let out an "oh", and stretched out his hand to pick the mushroom to have a look: "Then the existence of these mushroom ears is very suspicious."
He cut off the handle of the umbrella, picked up a mushroom and took a closer look in front of him, but he didn't find anything unusual.
"Huh...?" Yan Chaosheng suddenly felt something was wrong.
He is the king of ghosts, not a human being.Even though he pretended to be a human being and his spiritual power fluctuated, in the final analysis, he was also a dead person, a ghost, and a monster born from Yin Qi.
Therefore, many methods to deal with flesh and blood and living beings are inevitably nothing to him.
But this does not prevent Yan Chaosheng from realizing that there seems to be something trying hard to break through the layer of human skin he made up and get into his body.
Oops, this will not work.
If this layer of skin is bitten open, revealing the Yin Qi inside, then things will get a little worse.
Yan Chaosheng didn't intend to expose himself so early.
So he just lowered his eyes and put his hands on the patch of skin that felt strange.There is a majestic force surging out from under the palm, and it is controlled delicately so that no one else will notice, and it crushes this messy thing very easily.
Yan Chaosheng withdrew his hand, and the arc of his lips widened slightly.
"Ale?"
However, even such a small change was noticed by Gu Xi.So he turned back directly from the front of the line, stood in front of Yan Chaosheng, and looked at him with his head.
"What happened? You seem to be in a good mood." The boy asked.
It even made him feel happy.
Yan Chaosheng: "No, nothing."
He was starting to feel bad.
Thanks to the youth, Gu Xi's height had obviously shrunk, so Yan Chaosheng was able to look at his face from a condescending angle.Looking at Gu Qi's obedient and docile appearance in front of him, he finally felt a little confused.
Do you really like him that much?Can a person become a completely different person just because he "likes" it?
But Yan Chaosheng must also admit that it is indeed a very strange feeling to be so valued and loved so wholeheartedly and unreservedly.
Unfortunately……
Yan Chaosheng raised his hand and patted Gu Xi's head.
The Gu Xi in front of him is just a silhouette on the timeline, a small joke; and he is not the banquet that the other party is thinking about, but Yan Chaosheng.
He repeated it in his heart.
Really...
What a pity.
***
"Swish."
Jiang Quechen raised her head sharply, but she couldn't catch anything, as if the noise just now was just her hallucination.
"Did you hear... any sound?" the girl asked hesitantly.
In this underground corpse cave, any slight inaccuracy cannot be taken lightly.When she said that, the faces of the others also became serious, and they put on a guarded posture to carefully detect the changes around them.
After a while, nothing happened, and Jiang Quechen himself was a little apprehensive: "Maybe I misheard. Sorry."
"It's okay." Yan Chaosheng said gently, "It's always better to be careful, don't worry about it."
Jiang Quechen let out a "hmm".
Only Gu Qi frowned, and the silver gun quietly appeared in his hand.
Why does he feel...it's not necessarily an illusion.
***
In this layer of space, far away from the area where Gu Xi and others were active, something suddenly popped up in the puddles on the ground.
It's hard to describe what exactly this is.
It has a vaguely human shape, with ragged clothes hanging on its body.
But this thing is definitely not human.
Because on the limbs, shoulders, and belly of "it", there are mushrooms growing one after another, almost occupying the entire body, making it look more bloated and huge.
In the eye sockets of "it" there are gleaming will-o'-the-wisps, and upon closer inspection, it is the light emitted by the mushrooms born there.The rotting body can vaguely glimpse the bones inside, the mushrooms growing in the hollow abdomen look extraordinarily thick and plump, even the translucent canopy looks more crystal clear, as beautiful as some fine handicraft.
"Crack."
Before the puppet bird recorded itself, it had already grabbed and strangled it at an extremely fast speed.During the action, sparkling powder was sprinkled down. In terms of appearance alone, it was as beautiful as a galaxy of stars.
There are more existences similar to this thing crawling out from the puddles on the ground, under the mud and rocks, and from the verdant mushroom forest, moving towards the only place in this space where there is life. .The fluorescent powder sprinkled down between the actions laid out a long, long path of light behind him.
The mushrooms on the side of the road began to grow silently, and the canopy at the top continued to expand like a burst balloon, and finally exploded at a certain moment.
"Bang~"
