In the empty room, the echo of footsteps was clearly audible.
Sean and his party, who have reached the end, still haven't found the exit of this room.
The remnant soldier Max was leaning on the brick wall, thinking about something.
He suddenly raised his head, and his eyes under the burning mask looked towards the darkness that the firelight could not touch and had no upper limit.
He used his hands to open the ribs on his chest, and squeezed out something next to his heart that seemed to be burning with phosphorus fire.
After the thing crawled out of Max's chest, it spread its wings and flew towards the sky.
A flaming bat.
A flicker of fire from the bat illuminated the darkness above. It kept climbing, and finally illuminated a dark arch in the air about fifteen meters high.
Then, the burning bat hung upside down in the doorway, like a lantern.
The pianist, with a little fire in his eyes, shrugged: "The next step is easy - just go up."
While he was speaking, the pianist felt as if raindrops were hitting his sleeves.
He raised his arm to look with some confusion, only to find——
The raindrops falling on his sleeves burned into a burst of green smoke on the dark green cloth.
The raindrops of acid burned through the fabric and fell on Yueguang's skin, causing him to scream strangely.
Raindrops fell on Father Taylor's head. Smoke was rising from the top of Father Taylor's head. He couldn't help crying out in pain and hugged his head.
"Acid rain!" Sean yelled, and the brim of his fedora hat was corroded and damaged.
The remnant soldier, who had no intact skin on his scalp, seemed to be the least sensitive to pain. Even though the raindrops burned his body and sent out bursts of smoke, he still looked around blankly.
The rain suddenly became heavier, and Sean realized that they could not rush into the high doorway now.
He tried to condense an ectoplasm umbrella on top of his head, but found that the acid raindrops seemed to contain a trace amount of acid-etching spiritual power, and they were slowly burning through the ectoplasm...
"No, the ectoplasmic umbrella won't last long!"
Sean realized with some despair that they could not escape at this moment.
The raindrops hit everyone, and the sour and rich green smoke rose from everyone's bodies...
The curtain created by the sound of the piano only ended up with the same fate as the ectoplasm umbrella. Yueguang could no longer bear the pain. He covered his head and shouted loudly.
His uninhibited imagination originally sketched out a scene of himself being corroded into a bloody skeleton in the strong acid rain, but suddenly he realized that the rain seemed to have stopped, and the wounds on his body were being healed by the shining mist...
Looking up in the moonlight, they found a dark cloud floating above their heads, covering up the increasingly strong acid rain.
When I turned around, I realized that Sean had his hands raised, as if he was trying to hold something up...
What was above their heads was not a "dark cloud" but a huge whale bone.
The whale bones that were originally scattered on the ground were held up by Sean's ectoplasm, like a giant spiritual creature that had been dead for many years and was floating on the dark seabed again.
"By the way..." Moonlight suddenly figured out something, "Because acid cannot corrode bones and candles, these are the only things on the floor in this room!"
The weight of the whale bone was astonishing, causing Sean's ectoplasm to deform and teeter on top of his head.
Yueguang quickly stood up and released his spiritual essence to help support the whale bones.
However, ectoplasm is not a specialized load-bearing object. Although almost everyone has contributed their own strength, the heavy protective umbrella is still shaky.
At this moment, the remnant soldier seemed to finally understand what had happened. When everyone was holding up the whale bones, he suddenly stretched out his hand tremblingly toward the sky with heavy rain, and muttered inaudible words, as if he had suddenly gone crazy. Like a seizure.
The hoarse and crazy voice hit the eardrums like wind covered in gravel.
What is he doing? !
Just when Sean felt that the behavior of the remnant soldiers was a bit ridiculous, several rusty iron chains burning with dark red flames hit the ground heavily as if they were hanging down from hell.
These rusty chains are incredibly thick - these are definitely not human creations. Are they used to bind the devil?
The chain suddenly twisted, raised high like a living thing, and tightened around the weight above the head...
Thick rusty iron chains held the whale bones.
Max had a sad smile on his lips: "The last veteran will always be protected..."
He held up his mask and lowered his voice.
Although the whale bones hanging above their heads became their temporary refuge, the crisis was not over yet.
The light rain turned into moderate rain, and the moderate rain turned into heavy rain. The acid gradually formed a stream on the ground, gradually submerging the bones and candles on the ground...
The flames went out, and the world around them fell into darkness again.
The strong acid that formed a stream burned the soles of Max's boots off, and he followed the others sluggishly to climb up to a piece of bones on the ground...
However, the water level is rising rapidly. Under the whale bones, they were soon forced to stand on a three-square-meter bone mound.
"Fu Lai," Max still smiled, "it's up to you."
The Black Death Doctor, who had been silent, sighed helplessly, took out the short black staff, and knocked the air heavily, and the arch-like black coffin appeared again.
Dozens of skeletons stepped out of the black coffin. Some bodies have not even completely decomposed, with dry skin and hair still remaining on the skeletons.
"One gold coin..." The Black Death Doctor took out a golden object from his arms, made a "ding" sound, and flicked it into the black coffin with his thumb.
"To cross the River Styx, you need a boat."
The empty-eyed skeletons took action - some lay on the ground and huddled their bones into one piece to form the planks of the ship; some hugged their companions and leaned sideways, using their spines, shoulder blades and their own heads. , forming the ship's side...
Soon, thirty skeletons were assembled into a bone boat.
"Damn..." Fu Lai muttered, "This acid must be bad for bones!
“I don’t want all my collection to be osteoporotic.”
"Don't complain, Foley." Can Bing smiled and boarded the ship, "You have to find a way, right?"
This small boat held exactly seven people, and the acid accumulated more and more rapidly, and the water level could even be judged to be rising with the naked eye.
The chain above the head slowly contracts, lifting the whale bone; the bone boat under the whale bone rises with the acid pool water.
The bone boat swayed in acid.
It all felt a little crazy to Sean.
Looking away from the roaring acid rain beyond the whale bones, Sean looked down at his feet.
The light from the flashlight was shaky, and the acid mist stung my eyes.
He saw at his feet the face of a small blackened skull - his skull had not yet healed.
"It's the little skeleton who lit the candle..."
Its eyes were dark, and there was no sadness or fear on its face.
His teeth were knocked slightly out of boredom, and his hollow eyes were staring upward.
…Sean carefully moved his feet away from its face.
The heavy rain emitting acid mist, the whale bone shelter covering the top like dark clouds, the thick burning iron chains, and the blackened small skeletons underfoot...
Sean felt like he was in some weird nightmare.
The rickety bone boat finally rose to the hole with a twisted shape, like a tightened muscle, and everyone helped each other climb in...
After reaching this altitude, the acid rain becomes smaller.
Tick-tick, like the beans are finally emptying.
Finally, it's safe.
The Black Death Doctor struck again with his short staff, and the skeletons stood up from the ship one by one, returning to their original appearance. After sucking up the acid on the bones on the soil, they walked into the black coffin...
Sean and Moonlight looked at each other, and they both realized that if it weren't for their alliance with Max's team, even if they could escape from the dangerous situation just now, they would have to be severely burned by the acid rain.
