Chapter 235, Hell Room
The old man smiled. Although it was not pretty, he was kind and honest.
His eyes glanced at the giant lizard and lizard man, and said to Fang Hao: "Are you the captain?"
Captain, he probably thought Fang Hao was a mercenary group.
"Yes." Fang Hao nodded and continued to ask: "Old man, are you the only one in the village?"
Fang Hao looked at the village again, but there was no one there.
"I'm also here to see if anyone comes, and I'll go back in the afternoon. I live in the village next door now, and no one can live here." The old man said hurriedly.
"So serious."
"No, a lot of people died, and the men in the city didn't care. If other villages weren't afraid of suffering, we wouldn't care about this place." The old man continued.
It seems that the villagers have all moved away.
They were all looking for a village to live in. This village was simply abandoned.
For the villagers, it is a simple method.
"Old man, tell us what kind of monster it is. The more detailed it is, the better." Fang Hao said.
"Okay."
The old man squatted at the foot of the wall and began to tell.
This well has existed since the existence of the village, and the people in the village have relied on this well to draw water.
But who knew half a month ago.
Someone found that there was always a lot of silt left at the wellhead, and it smelled bad.
Where is the well?
That is related to the health of the whole village, and the villagers take it very seriously.
At first, I thought it was caused by the children in the village, so I took a few naughty ones out and beat them up collectively.
But even so, it still existed the next day.
The villagers began to realize something was wrong and began to squat at night.
When night fell, strange noises began to appear in the well, and some villagers bravely stepped forward to check.
A black shadow appeared in the well and swallowed up the villagers.
Afterwards, a humanoid monster began to attack the villagers.
The village organized young and strong people to try to expel the monsters, but many people died.
The village arranged for people to report to nearby cities, but no one cared about their lives.
The well is occupied and there is danger again.
Slowly, people left and the village became empty.
"Is it a ghost? A ghost that swallows people up in one bite?" Fang Hao asked curiously.
The term ghost should refer to the undead.
Even Nelson, the orange undead, doesn't eat humans.
Swallowing people sounds more like beasts or monsters.
"No, it seemed like the entire chest was opened and an adult was swallowed in one bite." The old man recalled the scene at that time, fear gradually appearing on his face.
Fang Hao looked at Anjia and Dimitja, both of whom shook their heads slightly.
It is impossible to deduce what the monster described by the old man is.
"What about the output method?" Fang Hao continued to ask.
"What is output?"
"Um, just how to attack. Are there any long-range tricks?"
"It's just waving your arms to swallow people, but I haven't seen anything else, and there are no professional people to take care of it. I don't know if there are other long-range tricks." The old man thought, but the answer was not clear.
The battles with monsters took place at night, and I saw some of them through the moonlight when it was dark.
When everyone sees cannibalism, they just run for their lives, so they still have time to look at the means of attack.
"Okay, old man, take us in and have a look." Fang Hao said again.
The old man hesitated a little, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take you in and tell you the location of the well. I won't care about the rest. This village is no longer inhabited. If it can't be solved, let's wait for the city lord to send troops."
"Okay."
The old man entered the village with a few people.
The empty village is a bit desolate, with baskets of furniture scattered everywhere and collapsed ruins of beams, wood and bricks.
"That's the well, I can only take you here." The old man said, his body began to tremble slightly.
There is a well in the direction pointed to.
The wellhead is made of stone bricks, with weeds and silt accumulated.
The scattered pieces of wood and various utensils give the impression of dragging everything toward the well.
It's also like being pulled towards the wellhead after opening the gate to release water.
"Okay, old man, go back to the village. If we solve the problem, we will arrange for someone to go to the village to tell you." Fang Hao said to the old man.
"Oh, oh, okay." The old man agreed, turned around and left as if running away.
Everyone looked at the position of the wellhead, waiting for Fang Hao's order.
Obviously, this matter has nothing to do with them, and intervening in this matter is causing trouble for themselves.
It is also possible for one of your own people to lose their lives.
"What should I do?" An Jia asked.
"No rush."
Fang Hao opened his backpack, and the skeleton gray bird flapped its wings and flew out.
"Watch me." Fang Hao climbed onto the cargo rail on the back of the giant lizard, lay down and cast Divine Presence.
A ball of soul fire ignited in the skull's pupils and flew towards the wellhead.
I circled around the wellhead and found nothing except various piles of mud and debris.
Looking into the well, there was calm water below, with nothing out of the ordinary.
Fang Hao controlled the gray bird to retract its wings and plunged directly into the well.
The sun shines in, but it's not dim.
Halfway through the flight, the gray sparrow spread its wings and floated in the air.
There is a huge crack on the side of the well wall.
What is behind the crack is not mud or masonry, but a dark black hole, another space.
The same mud and weeds as at the wellhead remain in the cracks between the broken bricks.
It seems that the monster in the old man's mouth came out of this crack, or escaped into this crack.
With the feeling that I am not afraid of death, Fang Hao flew in along the entrance of the hole.
As his vision gradually adapted to the darkness, he gradually saw the scene inside the cave clearly.
This is a long and narrow stone corridor.
The neatly carved stone walls are gray and worn, and residual water marks can already be seen.
Keep moving forward.
Then he entered the room. The walls were covered with luminous stones, making the space brighter.
But Fang Hao's heart became more solemn.
This is a room, a room made of human skulls. When Fang Hao was in the room, he felt as if he had entered a hellish fear, and his whole body was filled with bone-chilling coldness.
In the center of the room is a stone desk. On the table are rotten paper scrolls, a copper-green lampstand, and some objects that can no longer be identified.
Someone lived here.
Who would live in a place like this? The room is still made of skulls.
Simply evil.
The soul fire in his pupils pulsed. Fang Hao suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to look for the target monster this time.
You can still find traces of mud on the stone slabs under your feet.
It extends all the way to a huge clay pot next to the stone table.
"Could it be this clay pot?" Fang Hao secretly speculated.
But that’s not right either.
If the clay pot was a monster, you should be able to see the name.
If the name is not displayed now, it means that it is not the target you are looking for.
Is it in a clay pot?
According to the old man's description, it can open its abdomen and swallow an adult.
How is it possible to hide in a clay pot?
Thinking in his mind, he flew towards the clay pot.
The gray sparrow stood on the stone table and looked down along the mouth of the jar from above.
The inside of the tank was pitch black, and there seemed to be some liquid slowly squirming.
Fang Hao looked inside carefully, trying to see clearly what was inside.
call!
A black shadow gushes out from the mouth of the bottle, like a big net that wraps up and swallows up the gray bird, and then retracts into the clay pot.
Outside the well, the rear of the monitor lizard.
Fang Hao sat up suddenly, "I'm Cao! I'm scared to death."
He covered his heart with his left hand to soothe his rapid heartbeat. (End of chapter)
