Bang!
Bang!
There was a fierce banging on the door in the library, and the mummy howled like a ghost. After surviving the catastrophe, they were so tired that they sat down in the corridor, gasping for air.
"Brother Yue, look."
Yue Guanchao looked at the stone stairs. Countless ghost-hand leeches were slowly crawling towards the stairs like migrating ants.
The stairway was dark and chaotic, with nothing visible. It was like an entrance to the underworld, with leeches constantly rushing out.
Some unseen soldiers and bandits escaped from the leech pile by luck, but were quickly caught by ghost hands and dragged back to the insect swarm.
These soldiers and bandits slapped the leeches on their bodies, but it was useless no matter how they drove them away. Leeches are not afraid of living people. They were quickly pierced into the skin and flesh by the fingernails of the ghosts, and their bones and flesh were sucked into mummies by the leeches. Not even the bones and flesh were left. Down.
One wave came after another, and it was too late for Yue Guanchao to be afraid. They steeled themselves and ran towards higher ground.
As they walked towards the stairs, they were attracted by the heat wave and glanced down.
The desolate open space in the courtyard now turned into a sea of fire.
Scarlet lava surged from the cracks. The soldiers and bandits who had not come up in time were pushed into the lava by the leeches, and their roars and screams of pain resounded throughout the world.
In an instant, these living people were burned into black coals, sinking slowly to the bottom like a stone.
He never wanted to see such a tragic scene again in his life, so he led his companions to the top floor like crazy.
At this time, an even weirder situation occurred!
It was originally only a three-story stone building, but it seemed that there was no end. Everyone seemed to have entered an infinite loop of stairs, and the rattan handles were full of severed limbs that were constantly trembling, trying to grab a living person.
He had already noticed something was wrong at this time. When he looked back, he saw that the stone steps they ran through already had hundreds of steps, winding around the corridor in circles, like a winding snake path.
The suspension bridge on the top floor is even more terrifying. The nine chains hanging there are no longer bronze figures, but living people who are skinned and hung upside down, with blood spraying out.
For a moment, blood erupted from a high place, falling downwards like a gust of wind.
It seemed as if there was a pouring rain of blood on the patio, and the entire stone steps were splashed with blood and steamed by the hot magma, making people vomit out their overnight meals.
"Ugh! I didn't expect it to be so disgusting after the blood has dried up."
Even Xiao Wu, who was used to killing prey, started retching when he smelled blood, which showed how strong the smell was.
"Yue Guanchao, we're afraid we might encounter a ghost and hit the wall, so we'd better take a rest. Even if we're exhausted, we may not be able to run out."
Running up dozens of stone steps in a row is unbearable for any person.
However, monsters will not understand them.
From the surging pile of corpses, a strange-looking giant monster came out.
This monster is actually wearing the long sacrificial dress seen on the screen door of the God Worship Hall.
However, at this time, she was no longer a kind and solemn woman, her body was closer to that of a man, and her body was covered in lumps and flesh that protruded from her clothes.
That terrifying face wore a bronze ghost mask as big as a basin, and only the terrifying eyes were exposed. Just by looking at the bloodshot eyes, you can also imagine the grinning look behind the mask!
She waved the divine sword, blowing the wind and cutting the corpses around her into pieces.
"This monster can't be Shao Siming."
They had to believe Song Siyuan's words, and they also had this question in their minds.
"No matter who the master is, I can see that he has no relatives. If we are caught, we will definitely not get anything good, so we must run up there."
The corpse came ferociously, and a trail of blood emerged from the giant sword behind it, heading straight towards them.
The more anxious they became, the more confused they became. Just when everyone thought they were certain to die, rapid gunshots rang in their ears.
The sound of gunshots frightened everyone's minds for a moment.
They looked up and saw that the endless staircase had disappeared. Utuman fired his gun downwards on the suspension bridge and waved for them to come over.
Suddenly rescued, an unknown force surged from their bodies, and they stepped over the stairs onto the suspension bridge and entered the only temple on the top floor.
With a bang, the temple door closed, and everyone was temporarily safe.
Yue Guanchao looked around through the weak candlelight in the temple. The temple was not big enough to accommodate a few of them.
On the altar, there is enshrined Shao Siming in the mural of the God Worship Hall!
However, Shao Siming in the shrine is no longer a mural, but a statue made of gold and stone. From appearance to body shape to clothing, he is exactly the same as Shao Siming, like a real person, standing upright on the altar.
The only round iron window behind the temple kept pouring in firelight, bringing a ray of light to the dark temple. At the same time, it also coated the statue of Shao Siming with a golden halo, as if it were a saint in front of people and shining with divine light.
Yue Guanchao stared at the statue for a few times, and after confirming that it was just a statue, he walked around the altar with confidence, walked to the back of the statue and looked out the window.
The temple is located on the third floor and is the highest point of the entire Nogido. He can clearly see the world outside the fortress.
The deserted wilderness just now has turned into a sea of lava and fire, and all trees and buildings are covered with a layer of red flames.
Once a living person is burned by flames, they cannot be extinguished no matter what. They can only watch themselves being swallowed up by the flames and turned into black ashes struggling to survive.
With wailing all over the land and corpses in disarray before his eyes, he wiped his sweat and returned to the altar to look at Utuman. He thought that the old man had not escaped from Yizhuang.
"Uncle Utuman, I remember you were behind us. How did you know that this temple can hide people?"
Song Siyuan and Lu Fengjian were also very curious about this question and looked at Wu Tuman with strange eyes.
The old man was also in shock. He took a deep breath and glanced at them: "Young students, you are not familiar with this place and took a long way around. We just heard the gunfire and fumbled through the back door."
"That's not right, Uncle Utuman, how did you escape? None of these monster corpses harmed you?"
Lu Fengjian has experienced so many strange things and is wary of everything they see!
He saw that Wu Tuman and the other three Xiangyong were all clean and tidy, without even a trace of blood, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense.
Carefully holding the flashlight, he looked at Utuman and made sure that they all had shadows, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Utuman seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He sat on the ground and waved to him: "Young students, please stop taking photos. We are human beings and we are not dead yet."
It's no wonder that Lu Fengjian was careful. Those who escaped first had their faces stained with blood and their bodies were covered in blood. On the contrary, those who stayed behind were neat and clean. This was somewhat strange.
