Suddenly I saw the legendary mythical beast. I seemed to be frightened and I didn't know how to shout or run. I just stood there stupidly.
This mythical beast probably hadn't seen a breathing creature break into this place for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. It felt like it was a little confused. It was in a trance for a moment, and then slowly stood up.
My dear, if you don’t look at its head, how come this thing looks so similar to the alligator in the lotus pond outside the lotus seat?
Could it really be the product of dragons and crocodiles?
The earthworm is a four-legged reptile. Although it is very large, even if it is not lying on the ground and stands up with its head raised, it is only as high as my abdomen.
The moment the earthworm started to move, I suddenly came back to my senses and ran away. The lotus lantern in my hand also fell to the ground in panic, and my eyes suddenly became dark.
But at this moment, I couldn't worry about so much anymore. I just ran as fast as I could. If I ran a step slower, I might be sucked into my mouth by this earthworm.
Fortunately, the palace is big enough, so it would be a bit difficult for the earthworm to chase me.
I don't know why, even in the dark, my eyesight is still very good. However, the somewhat bulky beast behind me may have average eyesight. It missed the shell coin "lantern" several times.
However, after running for a while, the shortcomings of our species were revealed.
My endurance is far inferior to that of the earthworm. At this moment, the big guy is still looking for me leisurely, but I am already out of breath. I feel like my lungs are about to explode.
No, this strategy of it chasing me and hiding will definitely not work, and I will suffer a big loss.
I was panting and avoiding earthworms, and I was still experiencing a storm in my mind.
Suddenly, I focused my attention on the "red lanterns" of shell coins that were neither high nor low.
Maybe, I can go up there and hide. No matter how powerful this earthworm is, it is a reptile after all. It can move quickly on the ground, but climbing walls is not their strong point.
So, why don’t I use my own strengths to deal with its shortcomings?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly ran towards the slightly taller shellfish "red lantern" closest to me.
After the darkness, I couldn't make an accurate judgment. I could only estimate that the red lantern should be more than two meters high from the ground, so I ran over from a distance, and then I should be able to reach the bottom edge of the red lantern with a bounce.
There is a row of shell coins, and its entire body is made of shell coins, so as long as you can grasp the bottom edge with your hands, climbing up should not be a problem.
I estimated as I ran, and felt that the distance was about the same, so I jumped and stretched my hands forward. Finally, at the highest point of my jump, I grabbed the edge of the shell lantern.
The price was that one of my shoes was swallowed by an earthworm.
In the face of death, the potential that a person can unleash is unlimited. At this moment, I couldn't care less about my heart that was about to jump out of my chest. I just climbed up desperately, trying to stay as far away from the roaring earthworms lying on the ground as possible.
long distance.
The roar of the earthworm suddenly reminded me of the low sound I heard in the corridor, and I thought it was coming from this big piece of hair. In this way, it proves that the corridor may be near the palace.
I really regretted it. If I had not been angry with the shadow man and gone against his will, I would not be blocked by this beast on top of the red lantern now.
The red lantern was so big that I only climbed a short distance on it and was out of the area where the earthworms could pose a threat to me.
However, although the earthworm lying on the ground could not hurt me no matter how hard it struggled, the big man was very smart. He really wanted to know that I could not stay here for a lifetime, so he stayed under the red lantern and refused to leave.
At this moment, he simply lay down again.
It's terrible now. My arm strength can't support me from lying on top of this red lantern for too long. If I can't hold on and fall down later, there will really be no chance of survival at all. I will definitely become this ancient mythical beast.
dessert.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tell myself that we must find a way to get along quickly that can achieve both ends.
At this time, I noticed the roofless eaves above the red lantern. Perhaps, I could follow the red lantern and keep climbing at night to see if there is any way to survive on the eaves.
Once I made this decision, I didn't even dare to waste time to take a breath and started taking action immediately.
In the process of climbing, I found that the red lantern made of shell coins seemed to be solid, because I could always touch some sticky stuff in the gaps between shell coins, and it felt like
Something like jelly.
Could it be that these oval-shaped buildings were not made of shell coins, but that there was originally an oval-shaped object made of a jelly-like material, and these shell coins were pasted on top.
But, why is this?
Just for decoration?
Is it possible to be that simple?
My mind was spinning rapidly, and my hands and feet stopped unconsciously.
Could it be that these shell coins are attached to act as a shield so that people cannot see the true state inside the "oval jelly".
I put forward a hypothesis, and then thought of the biochemical experiment Zhou Lan mentioned. Could this be a biochemical laboratory?
This idea emerged from my mind, and then passed through my heart in the form of words, making me instantly feel a chill on my back.
Even the legendary earthworm, one of the nine sons of the dragon, exists, so why should the ancient witch doctor group mentioned in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" definitely not exist? After all, the "Book of Mountains and Seas" still has pictures and texts
The records are not like myths and legends that are just passed down by word of mouth, and the credibility is much higher.
Maybe I was thinking too much, but unconsciously, my hand slipped and my entire center of gravity fell.
After all, you can't escape the mouth of the earthworm.
I feel sad for myself in my heart.
However, what surprised me was that I didn't seem to have fallen into the mouth of the earthworm, but rather seemed to have been sucked into the "elliptical jelly" behind the shellfish.
Because I felt that the air around me suddenly disappeared, and what was close to my body was a cold and sticky jelly-like substance.
Fortunately, my father has trained me in the ability to hold my breath in water since I was a child. Even though I fell into the "jelly", this skill can still be used.
I didn't know what kind of environment I was in, so I didn't dare to open my eyes for fear that I might become blind if I wasn't careful. However, it was really difficult to judge whether I had been eaten by an earthworm just by touch.
.
At this time, the dark red astrolabe that I put in the inner pocket of my diving suit seemed to suddenly do something. Anyway, I noticed that its temperature began to change. It was very cold, almost close to the temperature of ice.
.
At the same time, I felt that the "jelly" attached to my body was slowly reducing, because the pressure on my body was getting smaller.
Ah, does it mean that the dark red astrolabe is saving me again?
I thought to myself.
This is too incredible.
If it were green snakes, scorpions, and marble snakes that were afraid of it, I could barely accept it. However, at this time, if it was because of the effect of the dark red stone piece, these jelly-like snakes that originally wanted to suffocate me to death
If the substance starts to dissolve, it will be too scary.
This astrolabe seems to be alive, able to protect me in any situation, all the time, and adapt to changes.
I cannot accept that a non-living substance has biological intelligence, just like humans do not allow robots to have their own consciousness.
However, at this moment, I am controlled by a jelly-like substance, so I can only let the astrolabe take me down first.
After about a few minutes, well within the time frame of my holding my breath, I felt that the pressure around me seemed to have disappeared. Although my body was still sticky, I felt that the jelly substance should be gone.
So, I slowly opened my eyes, but what I saw in front of me made the hairs on my back stand up with fear, and my whole body was shaking like a sieve. Moreover, my stomach was churning over and over again. The piece of biscuit I had just swallowed
, together with the cold lake water that had been heated by my body, almost wanted to spurt out of my mouth.
