Chapter 142 Activation
Looking around the corridor, it seems as if there are strange sights hidden everywhere, as if a terrifying big hand may reach out from every corner at any time and drag you into the endless abyss.
But what I can see is only the deep corridor, the monotonous stone statues, and the ubiquitous green light.
Um? Green light?
Lin Qi suddenly felt sweaty. This is not nuclear radiation.
“What is nuclear radiation?”
"It's just some kind of destructive energy exposure." Lynch explained briefly.
"Strictly speaking, most of the influence of gods is considered radiation, and a small part is more threatening than radiation. The secret medicine in the nasal congestion is to fight against 'radiation' and toxins."
Wah Miss Lunt was very close to Lynch when she was explaining, and her muscles were trembling more violently than Lynch. It was probably a rare scene for two people with such courage to go deep into the Jedi together.
"I see, so the sacrifice must rely on green light to slowly kill the sacrifice."
However, the poor self-comfort has no effect at all, and various classic scenes in horror movies have changed before our eyes. After becoming a revolving door, Lynch thought for a moment and simply took Miss Valente's hand and led her towards the exit.
"You shouldn't have closed the door just now. It couldn't stop the Invisible Son and cut off your escape route. Let's open the door first and leave a way out."
"Yes."
Miss Valente followed obediently, looking back from time to time. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual behind her.
The huge stone door sealed the entrance to the temple. It felt safe when it was closed just now, but now it seems that it has blocked the escape route. Lin Qi grabbed the handle and slowly pulled the door.
The door shaft did not seem to have been eroded in any way. Without much effort from Lynch, the thick stone door had been opened to a crack. However, just when Miss Valente breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little, bang, the door opened again. Lynch closed it hard.
"Mr. Leviv? What's wrong?"
Lynch made a gesture of swallowing hard, pulled Miss Valente to carefully retreat from the door, and said with a stiff expression: "I , I think I might have gone to the wrong door, no, I think it’s better to keep the door closed.”
Miss Valente was confused, but before she could ask any more questions, a cracking sound came faintly from behind the door.
That was the sound of ice and rocks breaking, crisp and clear, but full of signs of death.
“Those stone statues outside?” Miss Valente’s expression was bitter.
"Well, it cracked, and..."
"Roar~~"
A beast-like roar interrupted Lynch's voice. It was obvious that the statue outside suddenly came to life. .
Bang, the stone door was pushed open forcefully, and several aborigines with broken ice and gravel all over their bodies appeared at the door. Their movements were numb and stiff, and they opened their big mouths full of fangs and roared angrily at the people in the corridor. It was like he was about to pounce in the next moment.
Miss Valente subconsciously picked up the shotgun, but was immediately pressed down by Lynch.
"Don't waste bullets yet. Pay attention to their feet. They haven't even stepped into the temple."
Really, Valente realized that these monsters might take the initiative to stay away from the temple like the Invisible Sons, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that the residents of Zul'Glasar did not disappear, they just turned into stone sculptures and abandoned the city. Sleeping underground forever, but how come they are alive?"
"I suspect it was activated by our retrograde behavior. We can't leave if we want to, so we have to hurry up..." "Oops. It’s stuck, it’s stuck.”
A slight cracking sound interrupted Lynch's words. The sound was very small, but it was still heard very clearly in the chaotic environment.
Because the sound came from behind.
The two of them felt their scalps numb and their necks stiff as they looked back.
At some point, the ice layer on the surface of the robe stone sculptures in the corridor also had a few cracks.
Damn it, why did I forget that there are stone sculptures in the corridor.
Cold sweat breaks out. The two of them have realized that these robe stone sculptures are probably the second insurance measure besides the green light. The purpose of their existence is to kill people.
Now I no longer care about whether this is a trap for sacrifices. Although the situation in the depths is unknown, it is easier than being forced out to fight tens of thousands of ghouls outside. It is best to escape before these robed ghouls wake up. Enter the deepest part of the temple, otherwise once they are attacked from both sides, the two of them will really become sacrifices.
Run away.
After pulling Miss Valente up, Lynch rushed in towards the depths of the temple. The sound of shattering behind him was endless, one after another, like a death knell, hitting the two of them hard. heart.
However, the two of them didn't even dare to take another look. They avoided the stone statue blocking the road and ran down the corridor with their heads down.
"Roar~~"
The roar was so close that it was deafening. As the strong rotten smell spread, heavy footsteps and heavy breathing also came from behind. He quickly caught up with him.
"Be careful."
Miss Valente whispered, dragging Lynch to a sudden stop. The speed was too fast and he couldn't control his body. Lynch had to hit the curved wall directly before he barely stopped. steps.
Then a strong wind blew from the top of the head, carrying a few black hairs, and a monster figure nearly three meters passed over the head. The skinny but extremely sharp claws passed over the two people and left behind on the wall. Several white marks made a heart-stopping scratching sound.
The two people had ugly expressions. They took advantage of the opportunity when the monster was about to fall and dexterously bypassed it. Lin Qi gritted his teeth and kicked the cracked stone statue next to him. Using his strength to pull away the distance, he also pushed the stone statue towards him. On the resurrected ghoul.
Bang, the heavy stone statue was avoided by the target, hit the ground without any buffer, and exploded with ice shards all over the sky. However, there was no damage due to the smoke, and the statue did not break into pieces. Instead, another black shadow broke through the broken ice, clinging to the ground on all fours, and pounced on it like an animal.
What a tragedy.
Lin Qi's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously held the cane in front of him with both hands. The next moment, the ghoul had caught up with him, and his sharp claws came down from top to hit the cane hard.
With the sour sound of fingernails scratching metal, the blood on Lynch's face surged, and his arms were trembling slightly, but he still blocked the ghoul's claw attack. Unable to control his body shape any longer, he staggered back continuously and hit the wall of the corridor heavily.
Before he retreated, Miss Valente's petite figure came out from behind him and stood just below the giant creature. The shotgun folding fan was raised, almost close to the ghoul's huge mouth. .
Shot in the face.
With a roar, the monster's huge body was sent flying backwards. Before it landed, a figure rushed out from Miss Valente.
Lin Qi, who hit the wall, kicked the wall, instantly increasing his speed to the maximum. He came first and caught up with the ghoul that was blown away. The ghoul took the shot with his face. His big face was full of pits, but his head was still intact. He was even twisting his limbs in mid-air when he was caught up by Lynch. The cane had been transformed into a serrated sword. He stabbed the ghoul's neck hard, whether it was stone or flesh.
