"Sure enough, you showed up before my estimated death time limit, haha... you guys are really quite reliable." When the consultant saw Anshui and the other three appearing in the giant room, he rarely said anything that sounded like a compliment.
"While you were resting here, we were trying our best to deal with various traps and rush here." The gunsmith complained. He and Suisside looked quite embarrassed. After leaving the core room, they continued I have experienced three trap rooms with high defense levels, and the level of danger is almost the same as that of the flea guard. It is indeed difficult to solve it calmly when time is tight.
Vanessa looked a little disappointed. The consultant was about to say something important just now, but was interrupted when reinforcements arrived.
However, except for the consultant, the other three people did not notice the subtle changes on Vanessa's face. At this moment, An Shui has walked to the corner of this huge room alone, ready to press the next teleportation talisman.
"Before escaping, there is not much time to stop and talk." Anshui said: "When the temperature drops below zero, your body will suffer from various conditions due to the cold. You have to go through seven rooms to escape. I suggest you all concentrate on dealing with teleportation and traps."
… …
"Run! Did you hear me? Leave me alone! Leave quickly and escape outside! The further away the better! Now!" Count Beauje yelled at the top of the huge room at the top of his voice.
The two followers who stayed above the passage were not aware of the situation below, but when they heard the earl in the ruins giving orders in an almost desperate and pleading voice, they naturally understood that this was no joke. The two hesitated for a moment, exchanged a few words, and decided to follow the count's instructions. They picked up the torches, turned around and ran towards the top of the passage to escape.
Tian Yi had already expected that once teleported into the huge room at the entrance, the count would definitely make such a move.
After each teleportation, before the green light faded completely, the count could not wait to endure the dazzling light, opened his eyes just a slit, and observed the surrounding situation, just to confirm at the first time whether he had arrived at the original place. to inform the two surviving followers to leave.
"Should I say that you value friendship, or are you stubborn?" Tianyi ignored the two people at all. He casually took out the snake flute from his clothes, held it flat on the palm of his hand, and began to mutter obscure words again. of mantras.
After he finished reciting, he put the snake flute to his mouth and started blowing. As the strange melody sounded, a black shadow loomed on the ground in front of Tianyi. Gradually, the shadow turned into reality and turned into a body. A giant black snake as thick as the trunk of a small tree.
When the black giant snake materialized, the count was surprised to find that the monster's body was like magma, emitting black gas and corroding all materials it touched.
The giant snake seemed to have just woken up from a deep sleep. It raised its head, arched its body, observed the surrounding situation, and then suddenly rushed towards the corpses of the followers next to it.
The count thought he would see the cruel sight of a giant snake devouring a corpse, but he was wrong again, because this thing was completely different from an ordinary snake. It was definitely a monster that could only be seen in nightmares.
When the giant snake crawled to the corpses of the followers, its thick body suddenly cracked numerous large holes, as if its dark snake body was covered with patterns in a second. But if you look closely, you will see that those are not wounds, but "mouths", mouths that look like human beings.
It crawled to the corpses of the followers. The place where its snake body passed was like lava flowing through it, emitting bursts of black gas. The black metal of the ruins was very solid and not damaged at all, but the clothes, corpses, etc. of the followers, Torches, ropes, wooden boxes, anything that is touched will be corroded.
Those "human mouths" on the snake's body are constantly biting and chewing, and they continue to flow out black sticky fluid. After the fluid drips, it turns into black gas and rises, making people feel like their stomachs are churning with desire. vomit.
After two minutes, there was nothing extra left in the room except Tianyi and the count. Count Beauje could no longer tell whether the corpses were swallowed by the snake through its own mouth, swallowed by the mouths of those densely packed on the snake, or whether they were directly corroded...
"This must be a nightmare... God, please forgive me and let me wake up." The count bit his fist and prayed with his eyebrows twisted.
At this time, the giant black snake finished swallowing the corpses of the followers, turned its head, stayed close to the ground, twisted its body, and swam slowly towards the earl.
If a person could choose how to die, being killed by this snake would definitely be one of the worst options.
"This is a nightmare, Mr. Earl." Tianyi stood between the Earl and the black snake, and the snake immediately stopped, dormant and watching.
Tianyi continued: "Life is a dream that cannot be awakened. Death is the only way to get rid of this dream. Some people in this world are having nightmares, some are having sweet dreams, and most people hope to build their sweet dreams into reality. Based on other people's nightmares, and occupying their own set and imaginary 'moral' high ground, seeking peace of mind." He held the snake flute and swayed it left and right in front of the black snake, as if teasing a cute pet Ban: "There are two more snacks for you." Tianyi pointed to the top: "Go quickly, or they will escape."
The snake seemed to understand. It raised its head and flew upward in a straight line. It turns out that this thing doesn't need to climb at all, it can float and fly in the air.
In the eyes of people in the Middle Ages, anything that could fly in the sky without wings was only ghosts and gods.
The earl was no exception: "Is this the monster that helped you dig the tunnel?" His tone and demeanor were astonishing. At this moment, the earl was already disheartened. When he saw the black snake flying up, he already understood in his heart that those two The follower could not escape death after all.
"Of course not." Tianyi replied: "It was its mother who dug the tunnel. In exchange, I will feed the child with some flesh and blood."
"Hehe... Hehe... You call this monster a child..." The count didn't know why he laughed, maybe because a certain string in his mind had broken.
"There were eight adult snakes in ancient times. They were called divine pillars in some civilizations, and in other civilizations they were regarded as monsters that destroyed the world." Tianyi said, "I didn't pay much attention to it originally. They, but later I discovered that these guys' appetites are too big. One adult is enough to eat all the creatures on a huge territory, and completely corrode the buildings of those creatures, leaving only a piece of scorched earth and death.
Therefore, I found someone to cooperate and together we killed seven giant snakes, leaving one of them and its child sealed in the snake flute in my hand. Of course, I have made these two snakes unable to stay in this world for too long. Now if they want to survive, they must return to the snake flute. "
At the same time, in the passage, the two followers were quickly overtaken by Black Snake. As the saying goes: Autobots can't outrun Decepticons, and parachutes can't outrun Eleven.
After all, flying and running are two different concepts, not to mention that this is still climbing.
The two men didn't run very resolutely. On the one hand, they were a little worried about the earl's comfort. On the other hand, they didn't see the danger with their own eyes and didn't know what they were running from.
Suddenly, a giant black snake sprang out from the darkness behind them silently, and killed one of them in one go.
The remaining guy only felt that he caught a glimpse of something in the corner of his eye. He turned his head instinctively and saw that the upper body of his companion was gone, and the two legs exposed outside the snake's mouth were still kicking randomly.
The giant snake was pitch black, as thick as a tree, and had human mouths all over its body, floating in the air...
The last survivor's face turned pale with fear, his brain was completely short-circuited in panic, and he couldn't even scream. But... After staggering a few steps, this guy actually stabilized his lower body and stood up suddenly. Adrenal hormones were secreted like an explosion. The survival instinct defeated all negative influences and took control of his body.
I saw him throwing the torch at the snake's face, turning around, stepping out, and running away. After leaving the light source, his surroundings soon fell into darkness, but he could still see things. Even he himself didn't know why. Of course, he didn't think about why at the time.
When a person encounters extreme fear, the amygdala in the brain will respond, freezing ongoing but unimportant muscle activities, speeding up the operation of various parts of the body, causing high tension, accelerated heartbeat, and increased blood pressure, releasing about three Ten different hormones that prepare the body to respond to threats. At the same time, in order to focus on the source of fear, people's vision and hearing will improve in a short period of time, and the brain drives the body to see and hear, and quickly calculate how to respond to the source of fear.
This whole process only takes about two seconds in total. Before the fear subsides, the brain will help the person make a decision to "fight" or "escape."
At this moment, the last survivor obviously chose to escape. I think any sane person would run away when seeing such a monster. Unless you are a horror movie protagonist or an action movie star, it is best not to fight the monster alone.
This man was not so frightened that he suffered a myocardial infarction and died on the spot, nor did he sit on the ground with his legs weak and wait for death. On the contrary, this guy seemed to have instantly opened the first level of the genetic lock, exerting physical fitness beyond his normal ability, running wildly in the darkness, and actually escaped far away.
