A ray of light flashed on the statue, seemingly there or not, and it instantly stole Tao Nai's attention.
She stepped closer and found that the glowing thing was a black pearl embedded in the wall.
There are four raised statues of mermaids on the walls.
The four mermaids are lifelike, petite in stature, holding the pearl from four angles, with expressions of worship, as if they are performing some special ritual.
The moment Tao Nai saw the black pearl, he was uncontrollably attracted to it.
She wanted to get the black pearl.
Unprecedented greed emerged from the bottom of her heart, like a vine that grew wantonly, wrapping Tao Nai's heart and body, pulling her limbs, and then moved forward little by little.
Finally, she touched the pearl.
The moment their fingers touched the black pearl, these mermaid statues actually retracted their hands at the same time, and then let the pearl roll down into Tao Nai's hand.
Tao Nai was delighted and quickly picked up the black pearl to take a look.
A stream of mucus spread from the black pearl, and the fishy smell was so nauseating that it almost stuck Tao Nai's five fingers together.
Gululu-
The black pearl seemed to be an eyeball in the mucus. It rolled around in Tao Nai's hand and then turned into a fish eye, revealing the pale and lifeless fish eye.
Tao Nai's body was frozen instantly. She wanted to scream and throw away the dead fish eyes, but the dead fish eyes stared at her, making her unable to move.
Strong fear brewed in his heart. Tao Nai watched helplessly as his eyeballs twisted twice. A strange feeling spread from the palm of his hand throughout his body. The originally white eyeballs were suddenly stained with blood red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this critical moment, a palm pressed on Tao Nai's shoulder.
A chill flowed down her shoulders, and Tao Nai suddenly came back to her senses. The fish-eye ball in her hand fell to the ground, and was accidentally crushed by her foot in her haste.
With a puff, the smelly liquid splashed out, and the feeling of bounce made all the hairs on Tao Nai's body tremble instantly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...!" Tao Nai turned to face Shang Ming with a solemn face.
Her mind was in a daze for no reason, and she stepped on the ground, and then she felt Shang Ming's hand pinch her wrist.
The feeling of losing support all over his body was extremely strange. Tao Nai held his breath. When he fell into the ground, he looked down and saw the bottomless hole under his body.
"Where's the promised temple? Why is there still a mechanism!" Tao Nai let out a cry of collapse. She had no time or room to think. She opened her arms and hugged Shang Ming fiercely.
At this moment, she seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. No matter their bodies were still falling downwards, they were wrapped around Shang Ming with their hands and feet, like a huge koala, hanging on Shang Ming. on the body.
Various mechanisms flashed through Tao Nai's mind, and she even imagined the scene where she and Shang Ming fell to the bottom of the cave and were pierced by thousands of arrows!
boom--!
There was a loud noise, and the moment Tao Nai hit the ground, large amounts of dust swarmed in, breaking into her mouth and nose, choking her and causing her to cough.
"Ahem, it's strange. It doesn't hurt at all when you fall from such a high place?" Tao Nai raised his hand to fan in front of him, then looked up at the endless hole above his head.
This is where she and Shang Ming fell.
Tao Nai quickly moved his body.
The ground was soft and warm, like a wall of flesh, successfully protecting her from all harm.
Wait, wall of flesh?
As if struck by lightning, Tao Nai lowered her head and saw Shang Ming pinned beneath her, motionless.
Shang Ming closed his eyes tightly and seemed to have passed out. His face and body were covered with scratches and he was motionless, making Tao Nai almost doubt whether he was still alive!
"Shang Ming, you can't die!" Tao Nai quickly patted Shang Ming's face, but this man was like a corpse and did not give her any response.
Tao Nai was in a confused mood. She looked around, wondering whether this situation was an accident or intentional homicide!
After unbuttoning Shang Ming's shirt, Tao Nai held his chest and began to perform CPR on him vigorously.
But there was still no response from Shang Ming.
"Shang Ming, Shang Ming, wake up." Tao Nai patted Shang Ming's face with his small hand, but Tao Nai didn't get any response, so he just kept silent, pinching Shang Ming's cheek with his fingers, looking at his pale pink skin. Lips, close your eyes and kiss downward.
"Hmm?" Before Tao Nai could touch the softness, a cold hand had already covered his mouth.
She opened her eyes and was caught off guard by a pair of eyes that were different from ordinary eyes.
The scarlet eyes were like bright rubies, dark and mysterious, and the girl's surprised expression was reflected in the depths of her eyes.
"You're awake." Tao Nai breathed a sigh of relief after breaking free from Shang Ming's hand.
"What did you want to do just now?" Shang Ming stared at Tao Nai, his deep voice tinged with hoarseness.
Tao Nai immediately understood the deep meaning in Shang Ming's eyes, "Shang Ming, don't think too much, you have to believe me, this is just a misunderstanding."
"I was almost crushed to death by you, but you told me it was a misunderstanding?"
The young man's deep and melodious voice made it impossible to hear any emotion or anger.
"Ah? You're not talking about me taking off your clothes and wanting to kiss you?" Tao Nai saw Shang Ming narrowing his beautiful eyes, and quickly made up for it: "It was my survival instinct, and I subconsciously mistook you for... Meat pads..."
As Tao Nai talked, he felt something was even more wrong.
Why does it feel like it’s getting darker and darker with each stroke?
Watching Shang Ming button the unbuttoned buttons again and then stand up from where he was, Tao Nai stood up immediately after him and was pushed forward by Shang Ming.
In front of Tao Nai was a long, dark corridor. She took a step forward and smelled a fishy smell, and subconsciously stopped: "What are you doing?"
Shang Ming's face was expressionless and his tone was cold and hard: "I also have a survival instinct."
Tao Nai: "..."
Good boy, you really put what you have learned into practice, just open your mouth and do it!
What kind of survival instinct was clearly wanting her to explore the way first. .
But Tao Nai swallowed all her complaints when she saw the scratches on Shang Ming's face.
Taking out his cell phone and turning on the flashlight, Tao Nai saw the white light emitted by his cell phone illuminating a small patch of wet ground in front of him, and walked towards the only way out in front of him.
The corridor has no end at a glance. The walls and ceilings are carved with various marine creatures, fish, shrimps, jellyfish, and even shells and corals of various colors are numerous and densely stacked on top of each other.
The colors are rich and bright, as if you can feel the wet touch on it when you reach out.
However, the corridor was not high, so Tao Nai was able to pass through it smoothly, but Shang Ming was not so smooth. He had to bend his waist and couldn't raise his head the whole way.
Otherwise, with so many statues on the ceiling, a friction could turn Shang Ming into a Mediterranean Sea in minutes.
