Yang Yiyi's heart suddenly rose, and she immediately clenched the talisman in her hand tightly, and then glanced at Bai Mo beside her from the corner of her sight.
The delicate profile of his face flickered in and out of focus under the light of the flashlight, his expression as calm as ever.
Unlike Bai Mo, who can see in the dark, Yang Yiyi can see very little in the dark. She can only barely see the scene ahead clearly with the light of a flashlight, and it is pitch black in other directions.
--But she knows what's around her.
When she thought of these weird human-skin spider monsters everywhere, she felt a tingling sensation in her scalp.
Bai Mo didn't notice Yang Yiyi's expression at this moment. All his attention at the moment was focused on the surrounding environment, staring at the weird human skin monsters in front of him.
As he watched, these monsters seemed to be undergoing some unknown changes -
Their bodies soon started to twitch strangely, their flat bodies twisting like waves, and they kept twisting closer together, their bodies sticking to each other.
As these human-skin monsters twisted, more and more things peeled off the surrounding walls, and they soon got up from the ground and continued to twist -
And Yang Yiyi didn't realize until this moment that there were actually more of these weird human skin monsters stuck on the wall, layer after layer, seemingly endless.
She even had a terrible idea in her mind, maybe... there are no walls in this passage at all, all the walls are made up of layers of this kind of human skin monster...
She shivered suddenly.
What's worth noting is that the human-skin monster that fell this time was not in the form of the humanoid spider before, but another type of monster - but it was still disgusting enough.
Under the gaze of the two people, countless pieces of human skin were quickly spliced together in constant twisting, and soon a huge black cloth was formed, completely blocking the passage.
All the facial features and limbs were squeezed together, forming particularly ugly wrinkles on the human skin, which looked twisted and weird, and then floated towards Bai Mo and Yang Yiyi at a slow speed -
More and more human skins are falling off, and huge human skins are also formed behind and to the left and right of the two people. The huge human skin curtain is like a moving barrier, mixed with the breath of death, moving slowly with the force of containment, and seems to be planning to
Sandwich the two people in the middle.
Bai Mo narrowed his eyes.
His intuition told him that once they were covered by this disgusting 'black cloth', they would probably immediately follow in the footsteps of these monsters and become two fresh human skins, floating in this dark passage from then on.
His expression remained unchanged, but his thoughts moved, and he saw the shadow under his feet suddenly squirming, and then suddenly narrowed, forming a hair-like black thin line, which suddenly bounced from the ground, along the surrounding "curtain"
"Wander around quickly.
The sound of cutting filled the air.
It seemed as if someone was holding a pair of sharp scissors, trying to cut this huge black curtain from the middle.
It was extremely dark in the passage. Yang Yiyi couldn't see the black lines wandering around. She just felt an inexplicable chill on her neck and the hair on her back stood up. It was as if the surrounding air was cut open by some invisible thing at a certain moment.
.
Fortunately, this feeling disappeared quickly.
Bai Mo, on the other hand, stared slightly.
He clearly felt the shadow's blow cutting firmly into the surrounding human skin. However, this thing was much stronger than he thought, and it didn't suffer any damage at all.
Suddenly, with a loud noise, the space behind Bai Mo flickered suddenly, like a fire that suddenly lit up and then went out. He turned around slightly -
This is Yang Yiyi's move.
It turned out that just now, she immediately threw a spell at the huge floating human skin, causing an explosion behind her.
However, her face looked very ugly at the moment, and she said solemnly: "No, my attack seems to be ineffective against them."
Under the brief illumination of the fire, she could clearly see,
Not only was the huge human skin unharmed by the explosion, it actually expanded more and more. A strange smile appeared on the faces of the ferocious ghosts crowded together, as if they were mocking her for not overestimating her own abilities.
She quickly tried a few more times, and soon realized helplessly that there was nothing she could do about these human skins, so she clenched her fists.
In the darkness, the huge human skin curtain gradually advanced at a slow speed, like the horn of death. The human skin seemed to know that the two people in front of it could not do anything to them, and planned to savor the despair of the two people like this.
And things that make Yang Yiyi even more desperate are yet to come.
There was sudden movement above her head. Yang Yiyi suddenly looked up and found that a huge spliced curtain had appeared above her head at some point. At this time, it slowly fell, trying to cover the two of them like a pot lid.
This scene made Yang Yiyi's heart sink instantly, and the idea of trying to climb to the wall above to avoid being surrounded by human skin was shattered before it even started.
Except for the human skin curtain that has not yet appeared under their feet, huge human skins are slowly approaching from the other five directions, like a tightened pocket, blocking all escape routes for the two of them.
But Yang Yiyi had no choice but to clench her fists. She could only wait for despair to come like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
She had tasted this feeling a long time ago - it happened on the day when she watched her brother die in the sunrise.
However, even so, although Yang Yiyi felt extremely scared at this moment, she never had any regrets.
She didn't know why, but she felt that this narrow and dangerous space in front of her was more freeing than the spacious yard she once had.
Maybe it's because now she can decide everything by herself.
Even at this point, she had no intention of giving up. Instead, after a brief thought, she set her sights on the ground beneath her feet.
It can be seen that there seems to be no human skin covering the ground, just ordinary rocks, so maybe you can try to dig through it. As long as you dig out enough space, the two of you can take shelter inside for a while.
Yang Yiyi always seemed to be able to find many things on her body. As her thoughts unfolded, a delicate little hoe soon appeared on her hand, and she muttered a charm and attached it to the back of her hand.
Power instantly filled Yang Yiyi's arms, and she slammed the hoe on the ground.
Following a loud noise, a crack quickly appeared on the ground, and the seemingly hard stone became slightly loose.
"There's a show!"
Her eyes lit up and she quickly picked up the speed and continued digging. Soon she dug out a stone from under her feet and dug a small hole.
However, compared to her digging speed, although the advancement speed of those human skin curtains was slow, they could definitely cover the two of them before she could dig out enough space.
Yang Yiyi's eyes showed a crazy look, she gritted her teeth and swung the hoe wildly. Her arms were numb from the shock, and the tiger's mouth was directly cracked. However, even so, she did not stop the movements in her hands, but worked harder and harder.
——From the girl's perspective, this is the only chance for the two of them to survive.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, a calm voice sounded in Yang Yiyi's ears, it was Bai Mo who had not made any move for a long time.
This guy seems to be ready to lie down and die.
"These human skins have a fixed path of movement. As long as we dig a space on the ground that is large enough for us to hide, these human skins may not be able to cover us after hiding in. Then we will have time to find another way."
Yang Yiyi answered as fast as she could, without daring to stop the movements of her hands, and the loud knocking sounds could be heard all the time.
Now she has to compete with those giant human skins for time.
Bai Mo looked at the shallow pit dug in the ground quietly, and then looked at Yang Yiyi whose arm was bleeding.
There was no pity in his eyes, and he had no intention of stepping forward to help.
He just looked at the giant human skin that was getting closer, and said calmly: "But it seems it's too late."
These words undoubtedly poured cold water on Yang Yiyi.
"No, it's too late!"
Yang Yiyi gasped for breath, suddenly dropped the hoe and stopped digging, then threw a charm into the shallow pit that had just been dug, and covered the shallow pit with a huge yellow paper, gritting her teeth
Lie down and press the yellow paper with your body.
The whole set of actions is done in one go.
The next second.
"Peng!"
There was a muffled sound underneath Yang Yiyi, as if some kind of explosion had occurred, and her body seemed to be shaken.
"Cough cough cough!"
Even though protective equipment was used as a buffer to absorb a large amount of impact force, the shock caused by the explosion still made Yang Yiyi very uncomfortable. Her whole body felt as if she had been hit by a train. The pain was unbearable and her bones were groaning.
Fortunately, it was only an external injury and no internal organs were injured.
She didn't care about her injuries, but immediately opened the yellow cloth, with hope shining in her eyes.
According to Yang Yiyi's speculation, the explosion of a detonating talisman should be enough to expand the underground space she just dug, and the two of them should be able to hide in if they squeeze together...
However, when she saw the scene under her feet clearly, Yang Yiyi was stunned for an instant, all the light in her eyes disappeared, and her lips could not stop trembling.
"How is it possible..."
Bai Mo has seen this expression many times. It is the most desperate look when a person's hope is shattered.
I saw that under Yang Yiyi's feet, the underground space she dug with all her strength had not changed at all. It was still just the shallow pit dug out at the beginning.
The shallow pit was like a big grinning mouth, seeming to silently mock the girl's incompetence.
Bai Mo just glanced at the stones under his feet and made a judgment in his mind, and said without emotion: "The surface layer under our feet is black rock, which is not very hard, but the slightly bluish stone underneath is just the opposite. This level of
An explosion can't destroy it at all."
Although he didn't say it clearly, Yang Yiyi seemed to have heard what the other party meant - this guy was clearly saying that he was doing useless work.
She lowered her head and looked at her cracked tiger's mouth without speaking for a long time.
Bai Mo looked at her silently.
This time Yang Yiyi did not complain about Bai Mo for not telling him earlier. She looked very depressed and her eyes seemed to have lost all color.
The air becomes dull.
"This pit should be big enough for one person. Just lie down in it. You should be able to hide in it by curling up."
After a while, Yang Yiyi spoke in a deep voice, her voice sounded particularly hoarse, but what she said surprised Bai Mo.
He wondered whether he should laugh or cry: "Why do we have to hide underground?"
"But do you have any other options?" Yang Yiyi looked up at him with gloomy eyes.
Bai Mo didn't answer, but suddenly asked: "If I hide in, what will you do?"
Yang Yiyi said nothing.
The air fell silent again.
However, the huge curtain made of human skin obviously will not stop at all because of their silence, and is in the final stages of finishing.
The surrounding space became increasingly cramped, and human skins were so close that Yang Yiyi could even smell the stench emanating from those human skins.
"You hide inside."
She slowly stood up with her still numb body and spoke to Bai Mo again.
Bai Mo didn't move at all, just looked at her without saying a word.
At this moment, those human skins were only one step away from the two of them, and they might be able to eat them both in the next second.
As for the consequences of being "eaten" by these human skins... both of them knew it very well.
"I told you to come in!"
Seeing that Bai Mo remained motionless, Yang Yiyi finally became anxious and reached out to grab the other person's hand.
However, Bai Mo suddenly grabbed her wrist with his backhand. His strength was not strong, but she couldn't break free.
Yang Yiyi was stunned, raised her head and wanted to say something, but she happened to meet Bai Mo's deep and indifferent eyes.
Her wrist was a little cold, and the other person's body temperature, which was obviously lower than that of ordinary people, seemed to make her calmer.
"You seem to have forgotten one thing."
She heard the other party say.
"What?"
"Before I came in, I said I would protect you."
Bai Mo seems to always have that calm expression, and his voice rarely contains emotions.
"So when you are in danger...you just need to hide behind me."
As if being struck by a thunderbolt, Yang Yiyi was instantly deafened and stared blankly at Bai Mo.
She murmured in a low voice: "Now let's talk about this..."
The next second, her voice stopped suddenly——
Without warning, light suddenly appeared in the dark passage.
It's not the kind of white light that makes people feel extremely warm, but a dead black light.
However, perhaps because this black light was too deep, it actually made Yang Yiyi feel extremely at ease.
The huge black shadow began to expand from Bai Mo's feet, forming a medium-sized circle that just happened to wrap Yang Yiyi inside. Then it suddenly rose up to form a huge circular light pillar, wrapping the two of them like a barrier.
Inside.
The sounds around her seemed to have disappeared. Although she knew that she was still in that passage and still in the darkness, Yang Yiyi still felt a sense of calm in her heart, and her rapidly beating heart began to slow down.
The rise of the light beam set off a particularly strong gust of wind, blowing off Yang Yiyi's hood, causing her long black hair to scatter in all directions, and her bangs also fluttered, revealing the cross scar on her right chin.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it.
In front of Yang Yiyi, Bai Mo's hair and clothes were also blown by the strong wind, and the dark light flowed like water behind him, making his face look a little unclear.
But Yang Yiyi seemed to be able to see that the other party's expression must be very calm at this moment.
All human skins were blocked by the beams of light, and even if the faces on the human skins became more and more distorted due to anger, they could not move forward even half an inch.
He could only stare at the two people in the light beam with extremely malicious expressions.
Although it is only a small circle, it seems to be a safe zone isolated from all dangers.
Yang Yiyi was stunned.
When the strong wind stopped, she put her hood back on as if waking up from a dream, covering her scars with her bangs.
Everything seemed to be calm again.
The same was true for Yang Yiyi. If it weren't for the human skins around her that still existed, she might have had a good sleep.
――In this circle of light.
"So, this barrier is indeed your 'strong arm', right?"
At this moment, a slightly teasing voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts.
Yang Yiyi couldn't help but move the flashlight up, letting the light shine on Bai Mo's smiling face.
"Tch, let's just do that..." She curled her lips and said.
However, the slightly hesitant tone could more or less explain her mood at the moment.
The corners of Bai Mo's mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled without saying a word.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Suddenly, Yang Yiyi stared at Bai Mo fiercely as if she remembered something.
"Tell what?" Bai Mo pretended to be confused.
"You obviously had a way but you didn't tell me, which made me dig a hole for so long!"
"Oh." Bai Modan said calmly, "I see that you were working very hard just now, and I really can't bear to dampen your enthusiasm."
If it weren't for the smile in this guy's tone, Yang Yiyi might have forced herself to believe this guy's lies.
But in the end she just took a deep breath and said nothing.
What Bai Mo just said still echoed in her mind for a long time -
"So when you are in danger...you just need to hide behind me."
Maybe it was an illusion. Thinking about it now, the words just now seemed softer than anything this guy had ever said before...
Although the surroundings were still filled with oppressive black light, Yang Yiyi's thoughts suddenly drifted to a long, long time ago. Her eyes were no longer pitch black, but gradually became hot and bright, making her almost unable to open her eyes.
That was a rising sun.
She saw her dying brother lying on the grass and smiled hard at herself.
She walked up silently and knelt down.
The brother touched her head with his last strength and said a lot of words, but she can no longer remember a lot of the content. Only a few sentences are particularly clear -
"Brother can no longer take you to watch the sunrise. I know what you want, and I also believe that one day, you will be able to climb any high mountain and wait for the sunrise there - no matter how many times you watch it. Everything is fine.”
"I firmly believe this."
"But... now that my brother is gone, you have to rely on yourself to protect yourself. But don't worry, just hold on for a while. This world is a mess, and there might really be reincarnation - if that's the case, I will definitely find you again and continue to protect you."
The elder brother closed his eyes and looked extremely pale, but there was still a smile on his face.
Everything gradually fades away.
The warm light disappeared, and the face gradually blurred into a lake, gradually overlapping with a figure in the darkness.
That's Bai Mo's face.
Yang Yiyi retracted her thoughts and shook her head quickly. It's impossible. My brother is so good, how could this guy be so hateful?
Of course Bai Mo didn't know what Yang Yiyi was thinking, so he suddenly handed her something and said, "Eat it."
"What?"
"A little bit of the leftover dragon meat powder should be able to stop the bleeding on your hand."
Yang Yiyi took the small bottle, was silent for a moment, and then said with a look of disgust: "I have this too, who wants to eat the rest of you?"
But as she spoke, she poured out a little powder on her fingertips and licked it off carefully.
If you don't eat it, you won't eat it. This thing is so precious. If you eat it, this guy will definitely feel distressed to death!
I have to say that this dragon meat powder really worked wonders, and her wound soon stopped hurting.
"If you had warned me earlier, I wouldn't have been hurt." Yang Yiyi said angrily.
Bai Mo didn't say anything, and his air of having nothing to do with him made Yang Yiyi's teeth itch with anger.
"What now?" she asked again.
Bai Mo didn't think about it and spat out one word: "Wait."
"What, now that human skin is on our faces, you still plan to continue observing?" Yang Yiyi rolled her eyes.
"That's not true." Bai Mo shook his head.
The appearance of these human-skinned monsters is probably closely related to the taboo sequence, but without more information at the moment, even Bai Mo couldn't see any clue. He was thinking about another thing.
He said: "I thought of a question before."
"What's the problem?"
"Do you think Wuyu died at the hands of these things?"
Yang Yiyi thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "It should be so. After all, there is spider silk on his body, and these spider-like human monsters seem to be able to spin silk - although they have never demonstrated this ability."
Bai Mo was noncommittal about this and just continued to ask: "Then what do you think our fate would be if we were just wrapped in these human skins?"
"No need to ask, of course it turned into two human skins."
Yang Yiyi's tone was very determined. She had just noticed that the large amount of human skin that had fallen off on the wall contained many strange creatures, and even some suspected human beings. They were all human skins, presumably because of some kind of attack.
That’s why it turned out like this…
Thinking of this, Yang Yiyi seemed to have thought of something, her expression suddenly changed, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Bai Mo.
"Wuyu's body did not turn into human skin, but his heart was removed and died - so do you think he didn't actually die at the hands of these human-skinned monsters, and that someone else killed him?"
"That's right."
Bai Mo replied, "You must know that although these human skins are weird, their attack methods are too slow. Wuyu will never die under such an attack. No matter what happens, they can dig a hole in the ground like you just did.
"
Yang Yi ignored his teasing and frowned: "That being said, when we first saw these human skins, they were separated. Is there any means of attacking between the separated human skins and the connected human skins?
Will it be different?"
She suddenly thought of the previous scene where these human-skinned monsters were standing together densely. uuReading www.uukanshu.com It must be that even Wuyu couldn't deal with so many enemies at the same time.
"It's possible, but I don't think these human skins would hit his heart... Besides, they don't have room to digest them."
Bai Mo narrowed his eyes and continued, "And as long as you pay close attention, you will find that there are no wounds on the chests of these human skins, which means that their hearts were not removed before they were alive..."
Yang Yiyi was stunned, but she didn't notice this.
At this time, even she had to admire Bai Mo in front of her. Although this guy was hateful, his level of detail and observation were far beyond ordinary people. He never panicked and seemed to be thinking all the time.
And the pattern is far greater than myself...
Although she was very reluctant, she had to admit that this guy was indeed a very reliable existence. If she hid behind him...
No, I don’t want to hide behind him!
Yang Yiyi quickly became alert and didn't know what she was contradicting herself for.
"So you are planning to wait for that thing to appear?"
She saw Bai Mo's intention.
"Um."
Bai Mo nodded slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "If that guy is smart enough, maybe these human skins are his trap..."
"If you put it this way, it might appear in front of us soon."
——There is one sentence that Bai Mo did not say.
He suspected that the being who killed Wuyu might be the taboo sequence controlling these human skins.
And if that's the case...
Bai Mo's eyes narrowed, showing an expression of interest.
That might... be a living taboo sequence.
