Bang.
The shadow was directly hit in the corner by Cui Hao, and immediately fell to the ground motionless.
I swallowed, quickly rushed to the side of the shadow, raised my flashlight and pointed it at the black shadow.
This thing seems to be photophobic.
The moment my flashlight shone on him, he suddenly screamed and quickly hid again along the corner.
The black shadow disappeared before us.
Both of us saw the shadow, which was clearly hiding from us in the corner on the right.
Cui Hao's eyes were extremely solemn and serious.
"Master Xiaoman, I'll go over and check the situation."
As he spoke, he raised the flashlight in one hand and pointed it at the corner, while holding the dagger in the other hand, he moved forward cautiously.
I quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
"I'll come, please be careful and help me guard the surroundings."
Cui Hao was attacked by this thing just now, and since he was not wearing any clothes, he was in more danger than me.
If I go to check the situation, it will be a bit more secure than him.
When I came to that corner, I was shocked to find that there was nothing there, and the black shadow just disappeared in front of us.
"How can it be possible if there is nothing?"
I knelt down and scratched around the corners of the wall with my dagger.
But still nothing was found.
The black shadow just now was like a hole dug out, quickly filled with soil, and then disappeared in front of us.
Cui Hao heard my disbelieving voice and quickly walked to my side and squatted down with me.
He looked at that corner with disbelief in his eyes.
"how can that be possible?"
The two of us reached out and grabbed around, but we didn't find any tunnels.
The small black shadow was about the size of my palm, and it looked like a ferocious creature.
I shook my head, stood up and grabbed Cui Hao.
"This place is a little unsafe. Let's not touch the things on the shelf. We should go to the end as soon as possible to check the situation. Then look for a way out. After all, you have enough bamboo slips."
Cui Hao looked at his backpack, nodded and said nothing.
After all, these are all books, and they don't have much value. They can't be sold for the price of gems.
So I don’t let him take so much, and he can understand.
In addition, the bamboo slips he carried were extremely heavy to carry, and they were already a burden.
I quickly dragged Cui Hao towards the end of the bookshelf.
The two of us were not slow and soon arrived at the edge of the wall.
I groped around the wall for a while, but couldn't find any hidden secret door. It seemed that I had chosen the wrong direction.
From the outside, I could tell that the building area of this palace was extremely large. It was absolutely impossible to have only the main hall in the front and the side halls in the back.
There is no other exit in the main hall, and there is only one small door like this in the side hall.
So there must be other secret rooms hidden here, but we haven't found the entrance yet.
Just when I, Cui Hao, changed my target and was about to walk back.
From the corner of my eye, I saw something shaking above my head.
Because the flashlight's light was really unstable, I didn't see clearly what that thing was.
I quickly raised my flashlight to the top of my head.
There was a crash.
A black shadow suddenly swooped down from above my head and grabbed me in the face.
This thing fell from the sky and I almost landed on it.
Fortunately, Cui Hao had been alert to his surroundings. Suddenly he saw something falling in the air, and he stabbed it with a dagger.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
The thing let out a scream and quickly flew out of my head, sinking into the ceiling again and disappearing.
I saw that the size of this thing was exactly the same as the black shadow I saw hiding in the corner before.
"Where is this thing hidden? Why does it appear so mysteriously?"
Cui Hao was indignant and raised his flashlight to shine at the ceiling.
Breathe.
We both had goosebumps all over our bodies.
We originally thought it was dark here, with the ceiling about two or three meters above the ground.
I can't see the layout and formatting clearly at all.
After we entered here, we kept our eyes on the surrounding bookshelves.
No one looked up to see what was going on above.
Now, look up and look up.
There were densely packed black creatures hanging on it, with pairs of scarlet eyes staring at the two of us.
I looked ahead with my flashlight.
The top of the entire cave roof was actually covered with this pitch-black thing.
Their bodies are not large, and they have thin wings on both sides of their bodies.
It looks similar to a bat.
But their bodies are all covered with downy hair, and their shapes look like mice.
At this time, they were floating on the top one by one, densely packed and overwhelming. If these things collectively pounced down to attack the two of us, we would definitely have to explain it here.
"What the hell is this?"
Cui Hao trembled all over and quickly grabbed my arm and took two steps back.
We almost knocked over the bookshelf behind us.
There was a crisp thud.
There was a whoosh above our heads, and a group of black shadows suddenly pounced on us.
I quickly grabbed Cui Hao and rolled away.
"Don't talk, don't make a sound."
I immediately stopped talking and quickly took Cui Hao to hide in the corner without saying a word.
Those densely packed things quickly stopped and lost their direction. They kept locating the position of the two of us.
But these ghosts were never found, where we hid them.
Cui Hao opened his eyes wide and stared at these things in disbelief.
I quickly pushed away the flashlight and placed it beside us.
Those weird black creatures slowly bypassed the light of our flashlight, hovered in the sky for a while, and then hung on the top again.
I breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Cui Hao against the bookshelf, and walked cautiously toward the exit.
"What the hell are these things?"
Cui Hao looked at me, his eyes full of fear and discomfort.
I shook my head.
"I looked like a bat. Most of the bats are located by sound, so I thought at that time that we would throw ourselves on the ground. As long as we didn't make any sound, we might be able to escape. I just took a gamble, but I didn't expect it. I really don’t chase these things anymore.”
I lowered my voice as much as possible and tightened my grip on Cui Hao's arm.
"They will definitely be able to detect what we are saying, but as long as we don't make too strong a sound, they won't plan to attack yet."
I was nervous in my heart, and involuntarily grabbed Cui Hao's arm, causing his face to turn red.
"It hurts, Mr. Man, please be gentle."
After saying that, when the guy passed by a row of bookshelves, he reached out to the upper shelf again.
"There's a good thing here..."
Cui Hao's hand just grabbed something on the bookshelf, intending to show it to me.
The next second.
There was a sudden creaking sound from the corner, and then another shadow rushed towards the two of us.
"put it back."
I can see the tricks of these things. They don't want us to touch the things on the bookshelves, so every time Cui Hao takes action, these weird things hiding in the dark will come out and cause trouble for us.
Cui Hao seemed to realize this when I shouted loudly.
He quickly stopped and stuffed the things back.
The things were returned to their original positions, and the black shadow seemed to be aware of this, so it silently got into the corner and disappeared.
in process.
I pointed my flashlight at the ground.
Only then did I realize that the black shadow and the thing hanging above were not the same thing.
The black shadow under the ground was really a giant rat the size of a palm, and this thing was so elusive that it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"The bookshelf and the ground must have been hollowed out by them. There are probably a lot of rat holes inside. They are hiding in the corners. Don't mess with the things inside."
I grabbed Cui Hao tightly and prepared to go out to the side hall again to discuss the matter further.
This study is really too weird. Not only is there a weird mutated bat hanging above, but there is also this elusive rat below.
If we continue to stay here, sooner or later something will happen to us.
Cui Hao nodded to me, followed me silently and walked towards the way he came from.
We pushed open the study door and entered the side hall again.
At this time, the two clay sculpture maids who were chasing us had disappeared.
I looked forward.
The two of them sat back near the tea table again, continuing to pose as before and seemed to be pouring tea for each other.
The two bracelets that Cui Hao had just grasped in his hands had now been put back on their wrists.
"What's going on here?"
Cui Hao stared at the two clay maids in fear and took a step back in disbelief.
"Why are all these weird things moving? It's just that they can move. Maybe there are mechanisms inside. But how can they still chase us and take back bracelets and other things? What is this? reason?"
I shook my head, I couldn't figure out the clue.
The craftsmanship and skills of this ancient man were beyond our imagination.
I pulled Cui Hao and tried not to talk nonsense as much as possible.
"Stop talking nonsense. These two things were chasing us just now, and we haven't searched the entire side hall again. Just in time, while these two ghosts have stopped moving, we can search here again."
I looked at the dark doorframe behind me and sighed helplessly.
"If we can't find another way out, then we can only go to the study to find out more."
Cui Hao nodded, quickly shook me off and walked to the left side of the hall.
I followed the trend and groped towards the right, preparing to carefully search this side hall again.
This place was extremely weird. After I told Cui Hao to be careful about the two maids, I raised my flashlight and pointed it in a circle above my head.
