The Ninth Secret Bureau

Chapter 285: instinctive fear

Views:

Walking along the spiral staircase to the bottom of the well, the dark space put a lot of pressure on everyone, especially after the air gradually became thinner, Chen Xian actually had some symptoms of hypoxia, and he seemed to have no energy , that sluggish look made everyone feel sweaty.

Chen Xian knew his own state better than outsiders, so at this moment he felt a little heavy, because he found that his malaise was not due to the thin air in the shaft and lack of oxygen... At this moment, even Lu Yisheng can barely maintain a normal state. State, if it is lack of oxygen, how could it be his turn to be the first to suffer? My lack of energy has nothing to do with the lack of oxygen, it's just because of... some strange things, like some kind of energy that can be felt.

Those energies gathered at the bottom of the well and spread in all directions.

But this kind of energy is different from the breath of Meishan God, and the only one who can perceive their existence... seems to be himself.

Chen Xian followed behind Mr. Skull, holding the bricks on the wall of the well with his hands, and walked slowly down the spiral staircase, with a gloomy expression from the beginning to the end.

When he sensed the existence of those energies, he found some strange changes in his body.

Limbs were weak, dizzy, and my breathing became much shorter. Every step down the stairway had to bear tremendous pressure.

What exactly are those energies

Chen Xian was constantly analyzing in his brain, eager to find an answer, but as far as he was concerned, he couldn't find an answer at all, because although these energies gave him a somewhat familiar feeling, but if he wanted to delve deeper...but it was not the same as The energy forms that have been encountered in the past or seen in the data books are different.

Although they float in the air, they feel extremely heavy, like some liquid that is constantly sinking.

Cold and dull, sticky and creamy.

This well is like a swamp in the tropical rainforest that does not see sunlight all year round. Those energies are the mud hidden in the swamp, dragging people deeper every second, as if the whole body is completely controlled by them... that kind of The oppressive feeling of being unable to move was exactly what Chen Xian felt at this moment.

"What's wrong with you?" Mr. Skeleton asked without turning his head. He seemed to have sensed that something was wrong with Chen Xian, and the tone of the question was a bit worried, "The heartbeat has become much faster, and the body temperature is also dropping... Are you sick? ?ā€

"no."

Chen Xian answered with a frown, turned his head and looked at the people behind him, and asked calmly.

"Do you feel something is wrong?"

Hearing this question, everyone looked at each other for a while, shook their heads and said no, and Lu Yisheng's reaction was not slow, and he immediately realized that the situation had changed.

If the lack of oxygen is caused by the lack of air circulation in the well... I didn't even have any reaction, so how could the boss be tricked

"There's nothing wrong, what's wrong with you, boss?"

"Is it a bit boring here? Chen Xian, what did you find?"

Hearing these doubtful replies, the expression on Chen Xian's face became even more ugly, because he found that he was the only one affected by those energies at the moment...

"I don't feel well." Mu He took Chen Xian's hand and walked aside. She who had been quiet all along suddenly opened her mouth, her small face was a little paler than usual, and her breathing rate was almost the same as Chen Xian's. , There was a lot of sweat in the palm of the hand, "It seems to be pressed by a stone... It's so uncomfortable..."

Since entering the well, Mu He has said very little. If you really want to count, she should be the first person to have this kind of "adverse reaction". Before the well mouth was closed, her face became like It was just as ugly now, and it was also because of this that she was so quiet. She kept silent from the beginning to the end, just silently following Chen Xian without saying a word.

Mu He was very afraid that Chen Xian would find out that she was unwell, because she knew that once Chen Xian found out about it, he would inevitably increase his worries. At this time when life and death were at stake and the "future" was uncertain...she didn't want to add any burden to Chen Xian .

"Are you not feeling well?"

Sure enough, as Mu He guessed at the beginning, Chen Xian immediately became nervous when he heard this, especially when he found that Mu He's "symptoms" were very similar to his... This made Chen Xian think too much.

"Did you feel those things?" Chen Xian asked anxiously, trying to describe the characteristics of those energies with words, "It's like water sinking in the air... as if being suppressed by those things .ā€

Mu He thought about it, nodded and said yes.

"I seem to have seen those things somewhere." Mu He said suddenly, his little face was full of doubts, "I should have seen them, but I can't remember..."

After getting this answer, Chen Xian's mood suddenly became heavy again.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the only ones who can perceive this strange energy are myself and Muhe. Others, including Mr. Skeleton, who is an ancient life, cannot perceive the existence of those energies... Himself and Muhe

The only possibility lies in the "particularity" between himself and Muhe.

Lu descendants are human beings, so they cannot perceive those energies.

Mr. Skeleton is an unknown existence older than abnormal life, and he cannot perceive those energies.

As for Chen Xian and Mu He... They don't know whether they are human beings, at least in Chen Xian's view, this is a temporary unsolved mystery.

"Chen Xian! There is light below!"

Just when Chen Xian was thinking hard and couldn't find the answer, Mr. Skeleton suddenly stopped and stared intently at the space at the bottom of the well below the spiral staircase.

At this moment, something similar to a golden bean suddenly appeared there.

From Chen Xian's position, the object that suddenly appeared was only about the size of a soybean, exuding an extremely faint golden light all over its body. If it wasn't for this golden light that was extremely conspicuous in the dark, its size would really be small. They must be discovered by Chen Xian.

It took only a few seconds for the golden light to turn from weak to strong. When the light became more dazzling, the object also began to expand rapidly, gradually transforming from one point to one side, until the entire space at the bottom of the well and the spiral staircase were covered by those golden lights. shine...

Except for Mr. Skeleton, everyone could no longer open their eyes and look directly at the golden light.

But at the same time when everyone was getting ready to meet the enemy, the golden light that suddenly appeared suddenly disappeared, and there was no danger in the middle, and even the shadow of the enemy was not seen... This burst of anticlimactic golden light also confused everyone Foggy.

what's the situation

Just shake it and it's gone

"Is this trying to show us off?" Lu Yisheng muttered.

"Not necessarily." Xu Yanan said in a low voice, "The old man said before that the mountain people who came to this ancient well first saw the golden light at the bottom of the well, maybe it is the same as the golden light we see now..."

"What is the significance of their appearance?" Li Daosheng was puzzled.

At this time, the old man who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "It indicates that we are about to meet that god."

After the golden light completely disappeared, everyone observed for a few minutes to make sure that there was no other danger, and then continued to move towards the bottom of the well.

About ten minutes later, the last person in the team stepped down from the spiral staircase.

There is nothing special about the space at the bottom of the well, it is simply a disc-shaped open space, but on the well wall directly in front of it, there is an entrance to a laneway, about two meters high and half a meter wide, only enough for one person to enter at the same time .

Standing at the entrance, Chen Xian listened for a while, and could vaguely hear the sound of water coming from the depths of the alleyway.

It wasn't the sound of water flowing, but a... sound of something moving in the water.

It was as if someone was sitting in the bathtub and flicking the water splash, the sound of splashing had no sense of rhythm at all.

In addition, Chen Xian also found a strange smell in the air.

It seemed to smell like human blood.

"Chen Xian?"

Hearing this worried voice, Chen Xian instinctively turned his head to look at Mu He, and asked her what's wrong

"Are you afraid?"

Mu He asked cautiously, his voice was very soft, as if he didn't dare to let other people hear him.

Chen Xian smiled and denied it.

"Don't be afraid, what can I do..."

At this moment, Chen Xian suddenly fell silent, because he found that Mu He's suspicion was not groundless.

I don't know when it started, Chen Xian's hands have been trembling weakly, like a beast that is being hunted and killed by natural enemies and has been besieged in a dead end. The nervousness, panic, and helplessness have made him unable to restrain it. Your body has those instinctive fear reactions.

Chen Xian looked down at his trembling hands, his eyes full of self-doubt.

I…

Am I scared
