Yes, it's a face.
It was a face of normal size, but very ugly. The facial features were concentrated in the middle of the face and the mouth was huge.
At this time, I discovered that it was not a real human face, but a pattern of an insect shell that just looked like a face. And the bug looked exactly like what Wang Mian described. It was very similar to the alien larvae in the movie, and it was very scary.
Fatty Yu kept gesturing to me, telling me not to move. I'm actually not very scared. After all, it's not the first time I've fallen into a tomb upside down. I've seen dozens of strange monsters. Especially all of a sudden, I feel like my bloodline is awakening. It's like deep in my heart. Someone is telling me, Li Rui, you are the Xunlong Taibao, you must not be cowardly!
I stayed there motionless. Fatty Yu took Wang Mian's gun and wanted to pick out the insect, but as soon as the gun was stretched out, the insect's tail was like a snake, and it wrapped around the gun, and then fiercely The ground was pulled back.
"Fuck!" Fatty Yu, who weighed two hundred kilograms, was forcefully pulled over by the insect. But at this moment, he was not willing to let go. With a shake of his big butt, he got into the river with the insect.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you help me!" Fatty Yu shouted.
I rushed over to help, Fatty Yu was very energetic on his own, and together with me, we could only compete with that weird-faced bug.
"You two are such waste!" Seeing that we could no longer hold on, Wang Mian couldn't stand it any longer. He cursed, pulled out his knife and slashed at the strange insect's face.
The strange-faced insect had a hard shell on its body, but the knife failed to chop it into pieces. However, I guess it was afraid of Wang Mian, so it suddenly let go of Fatty Yu's gun and fled into the darkness.
"Ouch!" The strange-faced insect withdrew its force too quickly. Fatty Yu and I had no time to prepare. We both couldn't bear the force and both fell to the ground.
"Wang Mian, did that thing escape from here?" I went over and took a look, and it turned out that there was a very deep crack there.
Wang Mian nodded and said, "Yes, that's right there!"
At this time, Fatty Yu also came over. He squeezed hard into the gap, but he couldn't climb in because of his size. He waved his hand in frustration, "No way, the entrance is too small. Fatty, I can't get in!"
I was unwilling to accept it, so I tried to break off the stone bricks with my hands. Unexpectedly, the stone wall looked very strong, but I only used 30% of my strength to break it off.
"Well, this..." Fatty Yu didn't know what to say, "You are such a mascot. I will take you with me wherever I go from now on. With you here, I will definitely be able to turn danger into good luck!"
At this time, Wang Mian made a discovery, "Look, there is a big hole here!"
We moved closer, and Fatty Yu looked at it with his wolf eyes and said with a smile: "Hey, it's correct! There is indeed a wonderful world inside."
"This hole is so dark, I don't know where it leads to?"
"It doesn't matter where it goes, as long as there is a way out. With the blessings of Bodhisattvas and the immortal spirits of the ancestors, there is no perfect way!" Fatty Yu said in a confused voice.
Wang Mian touched the surface of the hole and wondered: "This passage was dug manually. Is it a passage for those strange-faced insects to move around?"
"You said these weird-faced bugs are inside?" Fatty Yu originally wanted to crawl into the hole to have a look, but when he heard what Wang Mian said, he immediately hesitated.
"Why, are you scared?" Wang Mian sneered, "Don't you claim that you are invincible when it comes to Captain Jin? Why are you so dumb this time?"
"Who are you?" Fatty Yu said anxiously, "Don't think that because there are so many people looking for Dragon Gate, you think I'm easy to bully because I touched Captain Jin. Let me tell you, my fat man doesn't do this! Hey, I'll just give it a try. If you don’t drill, it’s useless if you try to provoke me!”
I was happy, "I said, Fatty, you are so thick-skinned. If someone else said that to me, I definitely wouldn't be able to bear it."
"You know what? Fatty, I, the prime minister, can hold a boat in my belly, but I don't have the courage to do so. How can I still be considered a gold captain?" Fatty Yu said in an aired voice.
Wang Mian and I shook our heads helplessly, unable to do anything with this fat man. In the end, I got into the crack first to check the situation. After about ten minutes, I came out and told them about the situation in the cave, "It's very deep inside and I don't know where it leads. However, I climbed a while and it's still safe."
Wang Mian listened to my words and said: "I don't know the purpose of opening this small hole here, but since we can't get out of the maze of stone paths, I think there is hope here."
Fatty Yu looked at the gloomy entrance of the hole and felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Mao Mao to go in, but if we didn't drill this hole, we would have to wait here to die. After weighing it, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
I wanted to continue taking the lead, but just as I was about to bend down, Fatty Yu stopped me and said, "You stand behind me, Fatty, I will take the lead!"
"Are you coming? Are you okay?" I looked at him.
"Who are you looking down on!" Fatty Yu tightened his belt, "I'm afraid that you kid will lead you the wrong way. After all, Fatty, my figure is here. Just because you can get by doesn't mean that I can too. It will be more troublesome to reverse the car then. .”
"Pfft", he succeeded in making me laugh, "Okay, okay, then you can do the head. Your body shape can also make the hole wider, making it easier for us to pass through."
"Get out of here." As he said that, Fatty Yu took off the paracord bracelet from his wrist, and when he pulled it, it turned out to be a lifeline. One end was tied around his waist, and the other end was tied to Wang Mian's hand. "Just hold on. With this lifeline, I will lead the way."
After saying that, Fatty Yu was the first to enter the hole, and then Wang Mian held on to the life rope and followed him in. I watched them disappear into the darkness, swallowed my mouth, and then I was heartbroken and also got in.
Fatty Yu climbed very slowly in front, and there were places where he could hardly pass. He had to get lucky and shrink his butt before he could pass. It was hard for Wang Mian to be dragged behind him, and he directly said to his butt, Fatty Yu: "You must never fart again."
Fatty Yu was panting heavily in front and had no energy to answer. Seeing that even a poor man like him didn't say anything, I knew that he was really tired. So we were like three insects, moving one by one, He didn't know how long he had been crawling, but suddenly Fatty Yu softly called out: "There is light!" He suddenly sped up and Wang Mian's wound was tightened, causing him to scream in pain.
"Damn, there's really light!" When I saw the light, my heart skipped a beat. I thought, could it be that the Grandmaster really showed up? This small hole actually leads to the ground?
But thinking about it this way, my intuition told me that such a good thing should not happen to me.
In fact, when I first climbed all the way, I kept regretting in my heart. I regretted that I didn’t study hard with my grandfather. What’s even more regretful is that I didn’t study the "Fuxi Thirty-six Hexagrams of Xunlong Sutra" in these years. If you understand the essence of it, will you still be trapped in this narrow passage and be unable to get out?
In the first few years when I first entered the industry, I was able to make a living just by relying on the superficial knowledge I learned from the Dragon Searching Book. Perhaps it was because I had never experienced the severe beatings of society, which caused me to develop a feeling of laziness, and gradually I gave up on studying, so that...well, I regretted it. I secretly swore that if I could go out, I would study hard, even if I ate the whole book, I would learn it thoroughly.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Fatty Yu in front of me yelling, "Holy shit! What the hell is this place?"
I should say no, my intuition has always been relatively accurate. So when I heard Fatty Yu's cry, I wasn't that disappointed. I carefully climbed out of the cave entrance and found that there was only a small protruding place outside for me to stand on. Beyond that was the cliff, which was at least fifteen meters down. The wind was very strong, so I could only cling to the cliff. Come and observe this place.
I really don’t know how to describe the place I saw. In front of me, there was a huge natural cave, roughly the size of a football field. There was a big crack on the top of the cave, and the moonlight shone in through this crack. Just enough to outline the entire cave. My current position is on the cave wall to the west, and there is nothing to climb up or down. I took a quick look and found that the cave walls around us were also densely covered with holes. There were tens of thousands of them. The density was so dense that it was as if the cave wall had been swept through by super cannons of different calibers more than a dozen times. Same.
The most shocking thing is that there is a huge stone pillar in the middle of the cave. The diameter of the stone pillar is about five meters, and it is narrow at the bottom and thick at the top. From a distance, it looks like a wisp of smoke made of stone. And there are many iron chains as thick as a bowl wrapped around the stone pillar. These iron chains are crisscrossed and connected to the surrounding rock walls.
The surface of these iron chains is also entangled with a kind of terrifying vines. They are said to be vines, but in fact they only look like them. If you look closely, you will find that these vines are actually a kind of weird mycelium. They do not depend on the host, as if they make a living by eating "iron". Their branches hang down from the iron chains like willows, some are hanging in mid-air, some have hung to the ground, and some even simply come from the holes in the cave wall. Stretching in, there are hyphae spreading almost everywhere you can see, even one or two are crawling on the edge of our cave entrance.
"What is this?" Wang Mian took a breath.
Fatty Yu stepped on the two roots near our cave entrance and analyzed: "That's Fatty. I guessed it right. This thing should be called 'Iron-eating Tai Sui'. It's an ancient fungus that relies exclusively on iron rust." To make a living, the ability to survive is extremely strong.”
"Iron-eating Tai Sui?" I suddenly remembered that there were records of this fungus in my grandfather's diary, but it only appeared in other ancient tombs. But since this thing does exist, it proves that Fatty Yu What is said should be true.
"Okay, I don't see that you still have some real talent." I patted the fat man and said, "You even know how to eat iron and Tai Sui, so you should know how to get over it, right?"
Fatty Yu's proud face suddenly became solemn, "This..."
