"Fat man, stay away from these ghosts. Don't forget that we have seen something similar to this outside. Do you remember those two maids? They can move."
After hearing my words, the fat man let out a soft cry and immediately took a step back with me.
"I went, I almost forgot, these things are so weird and weird, you really need to be careful."
After saying that, Cui Hao searched around, picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, pointed it at one of the human figurines, and smashed it directly.
Bang.
The quality of this figurine does not seem to be as strong as those outside. After being hit, a hole was actually damaged on the surface.
The originally lifelike human figurine suddenly had a basketball-sized hole above its belly, which looked extremely weird and abnormal.
Seeing this scene, Cui Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled and pulled my arm forward.
"This place seems to have the most human figurines, but it's probably not dangerous. Don't you think this thing can be smashed casually?"
Cui Hao walked up to the human figure and showed me the big hole in this guy's belly.
"These things just look weird, but in fact they have no mystery. If you give them a stone casually, they won't stand up anymore."
Cui Hao smiled and put his arm around the neck of the figurine, leaning against the figurine.
However, just as he leaned back, I could vaguely see a cold light flashing through the huge hole in the figure's stomach.
"Fat man, come back."
I shouted at him and quickly stepped forward to grab him.
Before Cui Hao realized what happened, she glanced at me and comforted me with a smile.
"Xiao Man, what are you afraid of? This thing is just a ceramic object, just a broken stone. There is nothing scary at all..."
At this point, he stammered and couldn't continue.
Cui Hao didn't dare to look back and looked at me with panic on his face.
"Master Xiaoman, what's put on my shoulder?"
I stepped forward and slashed the mahogany sword, directly cutting off the thing on his shoulder, and smoothly pulled him to my side.
"What, it's those porcelain people you look down on."
I pulled Cui Hao around and retreated, widening the distance between me and these things.
Cui Hao's face was pale and he looked back at the place where he just stood.
Suddenly, he covered his mouth and almost retched.
"Let me go, what is this?"
Cui Hao looked at the weird creature on the ground, with a pale face, and retreated faster than me.
"Why is there such a monster in this thing?"
I nodded and stared cautiously at the ball of flesh lying on the ground, for fear that this thing would pounce towards the two of us.
Just when Cui Hao smashed the belly of this human figure, I glanced in his direction.
I clearly saw a limp arm stretching out from the belly and climbing up Cui Hao's shoulder.
Only then did Cui Hao feel that his shoulder seemed to be touched by something, but he didn't know what it was.
I quickly pulled Cui Hao over and took a few steps back again.
"Be careful, something isn't right with this thing."
In front of us, the ground is a ball of soft meat. But on both sides of the meat, there are two arms growing.
There was no bone tissue in these two arms at all, and they collapsed on the ground, like a pool of liquid.
But this thing was able to crawl forward on the ground with the help of the surging flesh layer, gradually shortening the distance between it and us.
"What the hell is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
Cui Hao was stunned and took out the dagger, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.
When I saw this thing, a record suddenly came to mind.
That was when I was learning skills from Aunt Hua, I happened to pass by a bookstore and saw a book of strange stories.
This thing records various monsters and various ancient creatures. In addition, it also records some things created by man.
These things can no longer be called humans. They have completely lost human thinking and consciousness, and only rely on animal instincts to hunt and forage.
The puddle of meat on the ground looks very much like one of the records.
I remember that what was written on this page was human stuffing. To be precise, when the person was still alive, all the bones of the person were removed, leaving only a soft pile of flesh.
In addition, all the internal organs of the human body will be preserved, and a parasite will be planted in the person's body.
This parasitic creature grows in the northwest. It is a kind of soft-shelled hexapod similar to a crab. After this thing lives in the human body, it will slowly erode the human body and use the human as its host to survive. .
But these things will survive with the help of human flesh and blood. In addition, they can even live directly in the digestive system of living people and directly absorb human nutrients.
If it directly inhabits a living person, that person will become a physical puppet.
However, due to the scarcity of this thing, it is almost extinct, coupled with the inability to spread over a large area and the removal of it by man-made hunting.
So later on, there were fewer and fewer such creatures until they were completely extinct.
However, ancient alchemists were particularly interested in studying this kind of creature, so they tried to extract the bones of living people and stuff this parasitic creature inside.
Because this parasitic organism resides behind the human body, it will slowly put the human body into a state of extremely low energy consumption.
That is to say, absorption, digestion and various biological rhythms will slow down extremely, similar to the hibernation of animals.
If you are not hunting for food, you can sleep for a long time without consuming any energy.
But once they are released, they will prey on flesh and blood to maintain nutritional survival.
I looked at the densely packed underground human figurines.
If this place is full of such terrible creatures, then there is not much hope for the two of us to get out alive today.
Before that thing attacked, I simply described the records I saw at that time to Cui Hao.
He was stunned.
"Here, is there such a weird thing? I've never heard of it!"
I nodded and sighed.
"So, the situation of the two of us is very dangerous now. If once we are stuck by these things, they will quickly find a way to enter our bodies. At that time, we will become their new hosts."
I looked at the puddle of minced meat in front of me.
At this time, two legs have emerged from the bottom of the meat paste. These two legs are completely in the shape of a pile of meat, and are pushing the body in front to get closer to us.
"No, we have to distance ourselves from this thing as quickly as possible. We must not get close to this guy. Otherwise, the two of us will definitely not survive."
Cui Hao nodded and looked around.
His expression suddenly became even more ugly.
"With so many human figurines around, it would be impossible for the two of us to escape from here, unless we climb up from here."
After speaking, Cui Hao pointed at the z-shaped protruding stone bricks.
I shook my head.
Now that we have arrived underground, I must search the entire place carefully.
There are only these clay sculptures and figurines here, so of course the sooner you climb back, the better.
But if the shroud is hidden in this place, then my return this time can be regarded as a failure.
Seeing my persistence, Cui Hao could only sigh helplessly.
"Then if you don't crawl back, can the two of us deal with this guy?"
I nodded and reached for my backpack.
"Fat man, are you angry?"
I pointed to the puddle of minced meat in front of me.
"This thing is still a living thing after all. Although it looks quite weird, and its requirements on the host are not high, it can parasitize almost instantly. But there is one thing about these things, they are very afraid of fire."
I quickly took out a few pieces of gauze, and pulled out a change of clothes. I twisted these things into a ball, and took out the lighter from the side of the backpack.
I used a lighter to set the gauze on fire.
After a while, the gauze and clothes burned into a fireball.
I pulled on the sleeves of my clothes and made the fireball fly up. In an instant, it hit the meaty mess that was like a crazy attack on us.
After seeing my fireball, this thing immediately wanted to retreat.
And slowly stopped, as if he was carefully considering whether to crawl back.
I certainly wouldn't give this thing a chance like that.
I quickly swung the fireball and hit it head on.
Bang.
Fires spread everywhere, and a fierce flame instantly ignited the meat paste.
The meat was moving wildly, but it was a piece of rotten meat after all, and it might have deteriorated because it was parasitized by something.
This stuff is extremely flammable.
The moment my fireball came into contact with this piece of rotten meat, the thing was ignited.
Crazy flames shot up in all directions, quickly turning the mess of meat into a ball of fire.
The fleshy flesh kept struggling and surging, squirming left and right in an attempt to shake off the flames.
It's a pity that the flames burned stronger and stronger, gradually burning him black and almost unable to move at all.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the surrounding environment with the help of the intense light emitted when this thing burned.
The surroundings are still densely packed with clay sculptures of human figurines.
As the fire extinguished little by little, the surrounding human figurines gradually dimmed.
I could clearly see that these human figurines were shaking slightly, as if they were trying to move from their original places to escape the flames.
I am almost certain that the concepts of these clay figurines should all be this kind of sinister and weird stuff.
