Xiaolan took a deep breath.
The feeling of suffocation finally disappeared, and to her surprise, there was another independent space inside the golden stomach wall.
"sorry."
A hasty apology sounded from beside him.
Xiaolan and Jasmine sat on their knees and turned their heads suddenly.
To the right of the two men stood a young girl. The girl was holding a bare paper lantern and was wearing messy traditional costumes of Moon Village.
"Who are you……"
"Did you arrest Xiaolan here?" Jasmine put her hands on her hips, stood up and asked angrily.
The girl raised her eyes and glanced at Xiaolan cautiously, frowned, and nodded timidly.
"Where is this place?" Xiaolan also stood up, "Are you still in the snake's body?"
The girl hesitated for a long time, twisted her hands, and whispered, "I can leave now that you are here."
"Huh? What did you say?" Jasmine took a step closer to the girl, making her take a step back in fright.
"I can finally leave." The girl choked up as she spoke.
Xiaolan took a step forward and planned to walk around. As soon as he took two steps, he hit something with a clang under his feet.
She squatted down, groped around on the dark ground a few times, picked up the thing, and took it to the paper lantern to examine it.
"This should be something that speaks loudly." The girl spoke first.
Jasmine glanced at the girl angrily, "Who is Lang Yu?"
"She was a sacrifice from a few years ago," the girl said in a more lonely tone. "She was my childhood playmate. This comb was left to her by her mother. It is her most precious thing."
Xiaolan blinked, "Then you are..."
The girl sighed, "My name is Lang Ami, and I am last year's sacrifice."
"You... you're not dead?!" Jasmine shouted, "I mean... you're still... still..."
Lang Ami smiled without leaving any trace, "No, I would have been dead a long time ago."
"Then you are..." Xiaolan's pupils trembled, "Are we already dead?!"
"I originally thought you were dead, but now I feel... you seem to be different from me." Lang Ami turned around. There were two bloody wounds on her back, "I was stabbed by the fangs of the golden snake. After wearing it, it was bled to death, and when it fell into the snake’s belly, my body sank directly here.”
It seems that if you die, you will still know clearly when you died.
Xiaolan relaxed and asked, "Then why are you still here?"
"I'm waiting for the next sacrifice," Lang Ami's expression was complicated. "I can't leave until the next sacrifice comes. This is how Lang Yu left, but you are not the sacrifice... you are not dead yet, I Can't...I can't leave..."
"How do we get out of here?" Jasmine asked.
Lang Ami was still a little afraid of her, "When you can leave, you will leave directly. They... they should all leave like this, leaving only things... only... you are not sacrifices."
Lang Ami suddenly had a turning point.
Xiaolan and Jasmine looked at each other and said, "We are Jin Xian."
"Then you...will leave, right?"
"We must leave." Jasmine said harshly.
Lang Ami's eyes suddenly shone with tears. She stretched out her other hand and began to fumble around her body. After a while, she took out a hairpin from her lower pocket. She stared at the hairpin reluctantly. , a few seconds later, handed the hairpin to Xiaolan.
"This is my most precious thing," Lang Ami's hands shook, "Please take it away from here."
Xiaolan pushed the hairpin back, "What do you mean?"
"I don't want to be trapped here forever," Lang Ami simply squatted down and grabbed another flute-like object, "You take my things, take everyone's things, go home, we can go home ”
"Everyone's stuff..."
Lang Ami lowered the paper lamp to shine at their feet. The ground was densely covered with scattered small objects, including hairpins, jewelry, rings, and all kinds of treasures.
Xiaolan and Jasmine were stunned. At this time, the space they were in suddenly began to tremble violently.
"It's begun...it's begun..." Lang Ami muttered, put down the paper lantern, and walked into the darkness.
"Lang Ami?" Xiaolan called.
In the darkness, two huge fingers suddenly stretched out. The tips of those fingers were slender, and they pinched Lang Ami's head. In an instant, the fingers and Lang Ami disappeared.
The two picked up the paper lanterns and ran over quickly.
boom!
I don't know when a wall appeared in front of me.
The whole space was still trembling, and the paper lamp swayed, shining on the confused two people.
"What was it just now?" Jasmine asked.
Xiaolan opened her mouth and shook her head.
Jasmine burst out laughing, "I didn't expect that there is so much world in this level."
Xiaolan looked at Jasmine and smiled bitterly, "What should we do now?"
"Perhaps -" Jasmine shrugged helplessly, "When the new sacrifice comes next year, we can leave?"
The two were silent for a few seconds.
"By the way," Xiaolan said, leaning against the wall, "do you still remember the ruby we picked up on the river bank?"
"I remember, but the strange thing is that we couldn't find it later. Maybe it fell into the water."
"I don't know why, but that gem is on my body." Xiaolan pointed to herself.
"You? When did you get it?"
"I didn't take it. Oh, it's not important. What's important is, do you know whose ruby belongs to it?"
Jasmine became focused, turned sideways and stared at Xiaolan, "Whose is it?"
Xiaolan began to talk about her experiences after falling into the river, including the blind girl in the underwater world, the snake nest, and Lang Yuerong's sister. By the way, she also introduced the origin of the wounds all over her body.
"Why do dead people appear again?" Jasmine scratched her head, "Does this place have anything to do with Xiquan?"
"Do you feel it?"
"I didn't," Jasmine shrank her neck, "What about you?"
"me too."
"really weird."
The shaking around them no longer affected them. The two leaned against the wall, trying hard to piece together all the fragmentary clues in their minds.
After a long time, Xiaolan opened her mouth, "Um, Jasmine, do you feel... we seem to be moving?"
"To be precise, the wall is moving." Jasmine patted her pants and stood up. "This wall keeps pushing us forward. Is it shaking?"
Xiaolan took a look at the paper lantern.
The wall is literally moving towards the interior of the room.
A bad thought comes to mind.
Xiaolan quickly ran to the four walls and took a look.
The small objects on the ground were beating with the trembling of the space, but they were getting more and more concentrated. The small objects in the corner were even piled together.
Jasmine also reacted.
"Holy crap, no way..."
Xiaolan lowered her arms.
"These four walls are squeezing in," she looked around. "They are going to squeeze us to death here."
