Chapter 1626 Clay Man
Although the statue is wrapped in a layer of mud and looks like an ordinary statue, Li Bai has already determined in his heart that the real Empress of Injection is hidden inside, and what she faces is... Yao, Shun, and Yu were in the same situation before!
“Let’s go! Let’s go quickly!”
Li Bai pulled Zhang Yuan, who was still looking at the statue, and walked towards the entrance of the tunnel. She did not tell the other party what she had discovered. She had no other intention, she was just worried. scare him.
Li Bai once saw people who were frightened crazy by the horrors of the mission, and most of those people did not leave alive.
Entering the tunnel again, the two of them were obviously more alert this time, and their pace also slowed down a bit.
Worrying about being caught again, this time it was Li Bai who walked in front to explore the way, and Zhang Yuanchao followed behind holding a lantern.
"Daughter, I."
"Stop talking!"
Li Bai, who was preoccupied, had no energy to listen to Zhang Yuanchao's nonsense.
But a few seconds later -
"Girl!"
The sudden sound made Li Bai turn around quickly. The tone of the girl's voice changed and became a bit sharp.
But when Li Bai saw Zhang Yuanchao's face clearly, he realized that the matter was not that simple. Zhang Yuanchao's face turned blue and his expression was extremely frightened, "No, it wasn't me who shouted just now!"
"The first time it was me calling you, the second time. The second time it wasn't." Zhang Yuanchao, who was in panic, couldn't speak clearly.
Hearing this, Li Bai reached out and pulled Zhang Yuanchao behind him, holding a lantern and observing the clay figures nearby, "Which direction did the sound come from?"
Zhang Yuanchao stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed to the right side of the passage. , "It sounds like it is there."
There are more than a dozen clay figures placed there, and they are shadowy because of the light.
Li Bai slowly approached with a lantern. Zhang Yuanchao also came back to his senses at this moment, and quickly walked a few steps to follow.
The workmanship of these clay figurines varies, but after observation, they are all real clay figurines. As the lantern light gradually moved, I found something on the shoulder of a female clay figurine. When Li Bai got closer, his pupils narrowed slightly. It turned out to be a bloody handprint.
The handprint is very small, with distinct fingers. It looks like it was left by a baby, but how could there be a child in this ghost place?
Zhang Yuanchao also saw this handprint. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch it, and then his body suddenly shrank back, "It's really blood! It's not paint, the blood hasn't dried yet, this was left just now ”
"Don't stay here for a long time, leave quickly!"
Just when Li Bai turned around, his clothes inadvertently caught a clay figure, and then this half-finished clay figure without even a face was carved and fell to the ground with a muffled sound. on the ground.
The next second, Li Bai and Zhang Yuanchao were both stunned, and then a chill instantly swept through their bodies.
The clay figure hit the ground head first, and the mud it wrapped shattered, revealing a blue and purple shriveled face inside. The face was extremely distorted, the mouth was wide open, and the dark and empty eye holes were staring straight at Li Bai's eyes. direction.
What’s even more frightening is that there is a fist-sized hole behind the clay figurine. The edges of the hole are convex and there are obvious scratches around it, as if something was dug out with claws.
Thinking of the bloody handprints left by the baby, a horrifying picture unfolded in Li Bai's mind. Almost at the same time, she thought of Empress Zhusheng. Empress Zhusheng captured Li Maochun last night. Then a huge meat tentacle was used to lay something like an egg into Li Maochun's belly.
It is conceivable that these clay figures are all wrapped in corpses, and those eggs are hatched in the bodies of living people.
The painting teacher from the beginning, and Li Maochun from last night, they should all be here!
With the size of the Lady Zhusheng, it is obvious that she cannot do such delicate work. These crazy people who confine living people in clay figures were done by the villagers of Heishui Village, those cruel women!
This is not Zhang’s cellar at all, it is clearly the lair of Empress Zhusheng.
After thinking about this, Li Bai immediately took Zhang Yuanchao's arm, "Let's go! Let's go!"
The two of them ran forward as if they were running away. There were probably hundreds of clay figures here. , and each clay figurine is a complete egg. There must be many unhatched ghosts here, and the one who just left the bloody handprint is one of them.
No wonder. No wonder the villagers of Heishui Village asked them to come here to worship the Bodhisattva. This was obviously asking them to sacrifice their own flesh and blood to Empress Zhu Sheng. The two of them were the sacrifices!
These damn villagers!
Seemingly aware that Li Bai and Zhang Yuanchao had figured out the conspiracy here, more and more voices came from the dark corners on both sides.
“Girl!”
“Old man!”
“Stop talking!”
"Let's go!"
A series of twisted and sharp sounds echoed in the long and narrow tunnel, seeming to come from all directions.
Gradually, Li Bai also understood the capabilities of these things. They seemed to be unable to actively attack people, at least not for the time being, and what these things said were all repeating what she and Zhang Yuanchao had said before, that is to say, these things Stuff isn't very smart.
From this aspect, it is really like a newborn baby, everything is a learning process.
But recalling the big hole behind the clay figurine's body, Li Bai didn't think that these newborn ghosts were no threat to them. At least the claws that could tear through the hard mud with bare hands were enough to give them a headache.
Soon, fire appeared in front of the tunnel, and the two continued to speed up their pace, consciously ignoring the shouts one after another around them.
But after rushing out of the tunnel, the scene in front of them made the two of them feel a little desperate.
"Back, back again..." Zhang Yuanchao roared helplessly, his eyes turned red with bloodshot eyes.
What is more urgent than this ghost tunnel that cannot be exited is the Zhusheng Empress not far away. At this moment, the Zhusheng Empress is moving again.
But this time the magnitude was even more exaggerated. The statue of Empress Zhusheng actually stood up.
No, that is not the statue of Empress Zhusheng, that is the real Empress Zhusheng!
I saw that a lot of the clay outer shell of the statue had fallen off, and dark green flesh could be seen in the gaps in the outer shell. There was a stench of rotten flesh coming from the direction of the statue of the Immortal Empress.
Although the situation was urgent, Li Bai did not rush into the tunnel again this time, because she knew that it would be futile to break in again. Not only could she not get out, but when they came back next time, what would the Lady Zhusheng say? Not allowed to move anywhere.
Just when Li Bai was holding her breath and thinking about her way out, suddenly, a call made her shiver.
"Li...Li Bai..."
Li Bai turned around suddenly. This call was very soft, so soft that if you didn't pay attention, you would ignore it. It was also weak, completely different from the weird and sharp voices before.
What’s more important is that the person calling her was Li Bai, which was her name, and no one has mentioned these two words since she came down to this underground place. (End of this chapter)
