Chapter 268 The Shadow of the Toad God

Author: Youdaoyan

After finally crawling out of the cave with difficulty, Fang Mu collapsed outside the cave entrance in exhaustion. His eyes were still dark.

Although the body is not moving, the ears are always listening carefully to the movements around him, paying attention to whether there is any abnormality happening around him.

The world outside the cave is confusing, complex and full of dangers, while the world inside the cave is infinitely close to a dark hell.

If you don't stay vigilant and stay rational, you will surely face crazy terror, which is a process more uncomfortable than death.

After resting for a while, Fang Mu still didn't hear the sound of anything approaching. The sound coming from the hole he climbed out of seemed to have stayed at the source without changing, with no intention of catching up.

This is very wrong!

Fang Mu suddenly sat up in shock, his eyes scanned the darkness in front of him, and his ears tried hard to listen to his surroundings, but he still heard nothing, as if nothing really existed around him.

He slowly stood up again while holding on to the wall. The wounds on his forearms and elbows were stinging during the movement. Some of the stones and dust attached to the wounds were shaken off, and some were squeezed out by the exerted flesh.

.

Fang Mu resisted the urge to scream, but in the end he just groaned a few times.

Fang Mu was sweating coldly on his head. He felt that somewhere in this cave, there was a very large space. It was not as vast as a passage, but more like a natural stone chamber?

With a vague premonition of something bad, he stopped taking a rest and continued to move forward while holding on to the wall. However, after just a few steps, he felt that he had kicked something hard.

Some look like wood, but the texture may be harder and smoother. This is probably not a plant, because such a plant cannot appear in this cave.

It cannot be a certain type of stone, because some are too hard and brittle, and the shape is more regular.

Fang Mu squatted down, stretched out his hand to fumble, and suddenly touched something hard and smooth, with a strange smell of corruption on it. He suddenly understood and took a few steps back with a look of embarrassment on his face.

This is a corpse that has been dead for an unknown period of time. Its organs and flesh have long since disappeared, leaving only a pile of dead bones leaning against the wall.

Based on the feeling of the part that seemed to be the skull just touched, this withered bone should belong to a human being, a normal human being, not the ferocious frogman with well-developed limbs just now, but a real person.

"Are they people from a long time ago?" Fang Mu also wanted to use a lighter to illuminate, but in this dark and deep space, any light was as eye-catching as the sun, and released "quick" to the group of monsters hidden in Anzhong.

Come and eat me" signal was no different. After the last encounter when he was surrounded by toads and frogmen, he no longer dared to use lighting equipment casually, so now he could only feel the things on the corpse through touch.

He is not a professional archaeologist or forensic scientist. He can only rely on his broad but messy and shallow knowledge to deduce and analyze.

The clothes on the corpse have not been damaged and disappeared. The tattered clothes are a bit rough in texture, like the coarse fabrics that were used for civilian clothing in ancient times. Nowadays, they are even used as tablecloths.

quality.

The corpse can be dried to such a state, and it is still in such an environment. It is really not something that can be achieved in a few months.

Unless...there's something special that causes it to accelerate like this?

Fang Mu didn't stay long next to the corpse. To him, the research value of the corpse was not profound. After all, he didn't have much professional knowledge and couldn't analyze much.

After stepping over the bones, Fang Mu felt that he had kicked another bone not long after, and then he found another bone.

Next came the third body, the fourth body, the fifth body... there were so many that they were almost uncountable, so many that they were piled up like a mountain. The bones of different biological species were pieced together abnormally and became a mess.

"How could this be?" Fang Mu couldn't help but feel his liver trembling. He finally couldn't bear his curiosity and took out a lighter to illuminate a certain part of the dark space.

It was just a part, but it was shocking enough, making Fang Mu almost die.

He saw piles of bones, some of which were human, some of which were animals, and some of which were definitely not the bones of large creatures that were familiar to us now. Not only were those large bones huge in size, but their shapes were also very special, making people want to

Imagine the strange appearance of those curious corpses when they were alive.

Just before Fang Mu had time to recover from the shock, he was horrified by what he saw next in the darkness, and his face was hideous with fear.

Outside the light range illuminated by the lighter flame, a pair of dark red asymmetric lights appeared in the darkness, of different sizes. Before there was time to react, more red light spots appeared in the darkness.

The light emitted by those light spots was very weak, but it was denser. Gradually, it illuminated the vague outline of the giant thing hidden in the darkness.

Huge, fat, probably taller than a four or five-story building, and the contours of its entire body formed a shape that roughly resembled a toad and frog, only more unreal and deformed.

Seeing it, Fang Mu felt that his soul wanted to break free from this frail body, maybe in this way he could survive for a while longer.

He has realized the identity of this behemoth in the darkness. It is a sleeper in the dark underground, an evil that brings despair and panic, and it is also the ancient totem god in southern Guangxi - the Toad God.

At this moment, Fang Mu finally understood why he was repeatedly emphasized in the diary by the old village chief and warned many times. After entering the cave, he must not open his eyes to see or listen. After putting down the black box used for worship, he

Leave without looking back.

Because the local people in the past really believed in and served a living god. They used their own, other people's, and the bodies of beasts from unknown places as sacrifices, and turned them over once a year for it to taste and enjoy.

.

This toad god is not a figment of imagination, but a real existence.

Fang Mumu ran away without looking back, running straight away from the silhouette, his mind empty, and his body exerting the survival instinct deep in his genes.

In the darkness, the giant toad with red dots all over its body let out an earth-shattering roar. The sound wave hit Fang Mu's back like a mortar. He was knocked far away uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

Fang Mu didn't dare to look back, let alone believe it.

His enhanced ears clearly heard the sound, but he was completely unable to hear where the sounding object came from. Except for seeing it with his eyes, he could not hear the material from which the sound came. It was as if the outline appeared out of thin air.

It is something even more unreal and uncapturable than light.
