"Hua Muling...!" I blurted out involuntarily.

But as soon as I said these words, my whole body was violently pulled backwards, and the huge force made me fall to the ground.

I turned my head and looked behind me, and found that the person pulling me was Xiong Ming.

Xiong Ming saw me looking at him, so he shouted: "Hu Tian, ​​what's wrong with you? Don't you want to live anymore?"

I didn't speak, but looked towards the place where I was standing before, and saw that it was already full of dark red scorpions.

Some of them climbed so fast that they even climbed onto my trouser legs.

Although I was still frightened, fortunately I could still tell clearly which part was fantasy and which part was reality.

I rolled over and jumped up from the ground. First I shook my legs hard twice to shake the scorpions off my trouser legs, and then I raised my feet and crushed them into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, I shouted to Xiong Ming: "Dali Xiong, run upstairs quickly!"

But before he could run a few steps, Xiong Ming suddenly swayed and fell to the ground.

I was shocked when I saw this. I hurriedly ran over to check and found that a dark red scorpion had climbed onto Xiong Ming's shoulder and took a bite on his strong trapezius muscle.

Although this dark red scorpion may not look big, it is extremely poisonous. Xiong Ming, who had a body like an ox, was knocked to the ground by him in less than two seconds.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I picked up Xiong Ming and ran away, shouting loudly: "Girl, follow me quickly!"

But the next second, the little girl jumped in front of me like a rabbit, and rushed towards the second floor of the hall.

"Grandma! How come you are running faster than me?" I cursed in my mind, but my feet showed no intention of stopping at all.

The group of dark red scorpions behind us had no intention of stopping. They were like creditors collecting debts, chasing the three of us desperately.

The main hall is not too small. The stairs are at the east end. We entered through the main entrance at the north end. Although it sounds like it’s not far away, it’s actually running back and forth. I’m carrying a 200-pound heavyweight like Xiong Ming on my back. Guys, that could cost your life.

I looked at the stairs in front of me, almost exerting all my strength to feed myself. Several times, the dark red scorpions crawled to my feet and were about to bite my ankles and calves. If so, I probably have to explain it here.

With great difficulty, I ran to the edge of the stairs. Suddenly, three extremely dull sounds of "dong, dong, dong" came from the hall.

The sound sounded like the sound made by an ancient copper bell when it was struck.

I was confused when I heard the sound, but before I could figure out what the sound was about, the little girl running in front of me suddenly screamed, "Ah!"

I was frightened by the scream and hurriedly looked up, "What's wrong?"

The little girl covered her head and squatted in the corner of the stairs, shouting: "Snake! There is a snake!"

Before the little girl finished speaking, countless small black snakes suddenly sprang out from the second floor of the hall and pounced towards the group of dark red scorpions.

These snakes look very strange, with large and flat heads, a red swirl-like scale on their forehead, their body is only half a meter long, their belly is white, and there is a finger-long dark red scale at the top of their tail.

These snakes were very fast, and they rushed to the group of scorpions in a short time.

The group of scorpions that were originally like evil spirits immediately became restless after seeing the group of snakes, and fled in all directions. Some of the scorpions who were so panic-stricken actually rushed directly into the group of snakes and were swallowed by the group of snakes in minutes. .

The swarm of snakes came with great force. Hundreds of strange black snakes passed in front of me. I didn't dare to move because I knew that snakes are cold-blooded animals with limited vision. They can only detect moving creatures.

So, I put Xiong Ming aside and pressed my body to the extreme. I gritted my teeth and squeezed out a few words, "Girl, get down quickly! Don't move! Don't move! They can't see you." !”

The little girl said timidly: "Really?"

I said: "Of course... stop inking! If you don't want to die, just do it!"

The little girl said "Okay" and then lay on the ground motionless. Only occasionally could you hear her sobbing slightly, as well as the numbing "Sisi" sounds, as well as the sound of her carapace being bitten into pieces. "Crack" sound.

I didn't dare to look at the situation behind me. To be more precise, I couldn't look at it. I was afraid that if I made a slight movement, I would attract the attention of those black snakes.

"Could those dark red scorpions be these black foods...?" I thought to myself: "But if that's the case, what do those scorpions live on? Is there something under the water that feeds them? ? According to this, could the sound of the copper bell just heard be a signal for these guys to eat? "

Just when I was thinking about this, suddenly three dull sounds of "dong dong dong" came from above my head again.

Strangely enough, the black snakes did not stop when they heard the sound, but changed their shape and swam towards the second floor.

Countless cold, slippery black snakes swam over my body. In an instant, I had goosebumps one after another. But facing these guys, I didn’t dare to move. I could only lie on the ground with my scalp. .

After about two or three minutes, the "swishing" sound the scales made when they rubbed against the ground gradually faded away.

I still didn't dare to move. After a while, I finally dared to slowly raise my head.

I looked around and saw that the dark red scorpions and the group of black strange snakes had disappeared.

I sighed deeply and stretched out my hand to help Xiong Ming next to me, but who would have thought that as soon as my hand touched Xiong Ming, the boy suddenly sat up.

Xiong Ming's face turned gray and his eyes turned white. Countless thin black lines extended outward from the wound on his neck. The longest one had extended to the corner of his eye, making him look very strange.

I couldn't help but take a breath when I saw this. I was about to speak, but this guy pushed me away. Xiong Ming's strength was so strong that I actually flew backwards for more than a meter and landed heavily. He hit the wall not far behind him.

I struggled to get up from the ground, covering my sore shoulders, and cursed: "Dali Bear, are you crazy?"

But Xiong Ming didn't seem to hear what I said at all. He swayed and ran towards the second floor of the hall.

The little girl got up from the ground and shouted to me: "He... what's wrong with him?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "Who knows?"

The little girl asked: "Then what should we do now?"

I said, "What else can I do? Of course I should go and have a look! I can't leave this kid alone..."

After saying that, I strode towards the second floor.

Compared with the first floor of the main hall, the style of the second floor is much simpler. Rather than saying simple, it seems more appropriate to use the word simple to describe it.

Because, except for a large wooden coffin, there was nothing in the entire second-floor hall.
