Chapter 12: The Monster Skinned Alive
Pei Zi was taken aback, perhaps also feeling that there was something behind him. He didn't directly turn his head to look, but instead quickly dodged to the side, and at the same time, the flashlight shone on the thing. At this moment, I finally saw the appearance of the thing!
"My god!" was all Su Dai could exclaim, and I too couldn't believe my eyes - standing in front of us was a person with the skin on their face peeled off!
Its face was completely covered in blood, and there were even maggots crawling on it, making me feel nauseous and wanting to vomit. It was only for an instant, but that thing moved a little, and then the bloody face turned towards us, its throat making gurgling sounds like a wild beast. Even in this state, it could still move - was this a dead person or a living one?
"What's that, run quickly!" Pei Zi suddenly shouted loudly, I immediately reacted and saw the bloody face approaching my front. I ran to the side as fast as I could, but was still scratched by that thing. Suddenly, I felt a burning pain in my arm, like it had been burned by something. Oh God, it's too terrifying! I didn't expect to see such a bloody scene so soon, I thought at least some time would pass before danger came.
Due to the appearance of this peeling monster, I don't even know where I ran to. My arm is still burning in pain. The absolute darkness here also makes me only see a little bit, so I decisively turned on my flashlight. I didn't dare make a sound, and walked carefully while searching for Pei Zi, Song Ah, and others.
This tomb is much larger than the first one I descended into. The width of this corridor alone is comparable to the length of that room!
"Gurgle, gurgle......" Just as I was sizing up the surrounding structure, that terrifying sound suddenly rang out again. I was so startled that I immediately turned my head around, but unexpectedly saw a blood-soaked face...
The blow was sudden, and I didn't even have a chance to mentally prepare myself. The thing grabbed my shoulder with one hand and flung me into the tomb next door. Its strength was immense, and I crashed directly into the wall opposite, feeling like all my internal organs were shaking. My mouth was also filled with a thick, bloody smell.
As I watched it reluctantly followed me in, I endured the pain and stood up to retreat backwards. Unexpectedly, after only a few steps back, the ground beneath my feet suddenly gave way, and I lost control and fell down. As I fell, the flashlight was also knocked out! It's absolutely dark here, I can't see anything, I hate this feeling, extremely hate it, as long as there is a little bit of light it would be better! The flashlight who knows where it fell to, the air here is oppressive, and it reeks of the stench unique to ancient tombs...
A chill wind blows and everything seems so eerie.
Although I was afraid of touching something, I had to go find the flashlight. Every second felt like an eternity. Before I could even find it, a sharp and terrifying sound came from around me. How can I describe it? It was as if fingernails were scratching glass! Yes, that's the sound, as if countless hands were scratching the glass around me!
The rower is frightened, the rower is shocked!
I could almost clearly feel my hands and feet trembling, I didn't know what kind of thing made that sound, nor could I see anything terrifying around me, let alone whether there would be a house full of dead people crawling towards me at this moment...
The sound of fingernails scratching glass grew louder and closer, I gritted my teeth to suppress the trembling in my legs and quickly crawled forward. But suddenly, something grabbed my leg tightly, the caught ankle felt like it was bitten by countless sharp objects, very painful, extremely painful! Like a thousand ants biting, I kicked frantically, perhaps hurting whatever it was, only feeling my leg relax, I quickly crawled forward again. At this time, I finally touched an icy object, it was a flashlight!
Fortunately, the flashlight I bought was good and not damaged. As soon as I pressed the switch, I raised my head and was completely stunned. There were no dead people crawling around, but it was all blood! Large pieces of moving blood! Some had even touched my hand, and at that moment, I only felt that the "blood" was a bit soft and hard, just like human hair...
Either blood or hair, it's absolutely something I don't want to see, especially such a large piece of it still moving and eerie! It sends shivers down my spine!
Those red things crawled up my hand in no time, and I felt a sharp pain. After I violently shook off the clump of hair, I saw that my hand had been bitten bloody! I immediately shook off the blood-red hair on my hand, damn it, what kind of ghost thing is this, and it can even bite people!
This thing is all over the world, I'm about to go crazy, but I don't want to die like this, I just got down from the fight, how can I sacrifice like this?! I don't know where the courage came from, I suddenly got up and started frantically trampling on the 'blood' under my feet. I desperately trampled, I don't believe you can't kill this ghost thing!
But after a while, I was desperate again, because those things were not blood, but rather **, exactly the red hair! Dense and dense hair! Like blood, seductive and beautiful! They were quickly crawling up from my feet, covering me with wave after wave of stinging pain, perhaps due to the clothes in between, it wasn't as intense as the pain on my hands before.
Right, since it's hair, it must be afraid of fire. Enduring the intense pain from being bitten, I immediately turned on my flashlight and found my backpack, rummaging through it to pull out a lighter and light it up. The moment the flame appeared, the hair on my leg retreated, revealing my blood-stained leg. As I used the fire to fend off another attack from the hair, I backed away towards the corner of the wall, desperately hoping there was a door! I screamed in my heart, full of hope, and turned around, but what I saw was a deathly pale face! The face was twisted, with black eyes staring at me intensely.
Good heavens, can't you stop teasing me?!
I was so scared that I fell to the ground with a thud, and slowly shone my flashlight upwards. As a result, there was nothing on the wall. Could it be? Did I see it wrong just now? I stood up again, and this time I clearly saw the pale face in front of me. I stared at him, and he also stared at me. After a while, I finally reacted - damn it, that person wasn't anyone else but me!
Is this a mirror? I touched it with my hand in doubt, the temperature is not low, it seems that it is not a glass mirror, but rather some kind of crystalline substance, because it has been polished very smoothly, so it reflects the image of a person.
Luckily, I didn't think about it anymore. Now finding an exit is the priority, but before I could find one, those blood-red long hairs came pouncing at me again. Even with the lighter in my hand still burning, they crawled towards me like moths to a flame until it felt scorching hot and I had no choice but to turn off the fire. The surroundings instantly fell into absolute darkness once more, and this time the flashlight accidentally dropped down...
Despair, at this moment the only feeling is despair. I know that this time it's absolutely not an illusion, because that piercing pain is too real, so real that even fainting is a luxury!
"Hmm..."
Just as I was about to give up all hope, I suddenly heard someone click their tongue, and I immediately came back to my senses. I must be rescued! I struggled to sit up with all my might, but the surroundings were still pitch black, and no one came to rescue me...
My hair was tangled again, I could only cover my ears and mouth to prevent them from running into my body. Until the last moment, I really didn't want to give up, I didn't want to die!
Ouch!
It seemed like the sound of a door opening, and in the next second, a ray of light was cast before my eyes. I struggled to lift my gaze, only to see a young man with a clear face standing there...
