Chapter 370: Chapter 66_2

Like a snake, yet not a snake, it’s unclear whether it has evolved or devolved.

And all the women’s faces are very uniform, almost all in the same style.

Li Zhiyuan suspected that this image was probably the woman’s real face on the bed; she had become a snake, and the snakes had turned into her.

They were emerging.

At first along the door frame, then erupting from above, dense and numerous, almost like a black torrent, within which countless identical faces squeezed each other forming a hideous smile.

"Fuck!"

Tan Wenbin couldn’t help but curse loudly.

The others felt the same; had they chosen to rush into the room before, wouldn’t they have fallen directly into this mess?

Just thinking about it made one’s scalp tingle.

Most gecko snakes were climbing along the upper part of the underground palace, accompanied by the "ignition" of the Bone Fire Pile, with a large number of fireflies gathered above. They were feasting on the fireflies.

Li Zhiyuan suddenly realized something; there seemed to be a life cycle existing within this underground palace.

Whenever the fireflies here proliferated to a certain extent, the gecko snakes inside the door would emit calls, as if calling for their mother to feed them.

Then, the snake-faced woman sitting on the bed would control the Corpse to lift up the bed, leave the pond, walk up the stairs, and push open the door leading to paradise.

This truly was paradise, but not in the sense that people from outside came in, but rather that the creatures inside came out to dine.

Their arrival seemed to act as a catalyst, whether it was a flashlight, a torch, or merely some man-made noise, it might cause the fireflies to be prematurely awakened and revive, the gecko snakes inside sensing the disturbance and consequently calling, advancing this dining process.

In a certain sense, this also served as a theft protection mechanism.

Due to the premature trigger, the number of hatching fireflies was definitely insufficient, not enough for such a large number of gecko snakes, and naturally, the remaining living beings inside the underground palace would also become their targets.

At this moment, the gecko snakes in front had already fallen from above attacking the Bone Fire Pile and the specimens, specifically targeting the fireflies inside, while the later-emerging gecko snakes were already having trouble finding food, many were rapidly moving towards the location of the four people.

There was no time for hesitation, even if the door beneath the pond led to hell, they had to jump in; entering hell was better than being devoured by these creatures, or even worse... being parasitized.

"Jump down!"

The four of them jumped into the pond together, then into the sinkhole below, there were stairs underneath, this time Run Sheng was the last.

The first gecko snake that followed darted from the side of the passage.

"Bang!"

Run Sheng smashed it with a shovel, but the opponent was very agile, contracted its body, dodged the shovel, then quickly retracted and suddenly straightened again, leaping into the air towards Run Sheng.

Run Sheng was too late to swing the shovel again, but just as the gecko snake was about to strike his face, Run Sheng caught it with his left hand.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

It was in pain, that woman’s face was full of agony, upon a closer look it was discovered that it was not a human face at all, but a grotesque appearance formed by the skin growths squeezed together on its face.

It was reminiscent of the origami that is very popular among students nowadays, each face painted with different patterns or texts, only when fingers prop up its four corners does the big mouth in the center fully open.

"Smack!"

Run Sheng fiercely slapped the gecko snake against the wall, with great strength, directly smashing it, splattering foul-smelling fluid.

Then the second, and the third; Run Sheng continued to smash while retreating, needing to buy time for his teammates covering the rear.

As more gecko snakes rushed into the tunnel, Run Sheng gradually became overwhelmed, two gecko snakes caught his left arm and right thigh in the chaos, and another wrapped around his back, attaching to him with its open mouth like a suction cup.

"Run Sheng, come quickly!"

Xue Liangliang’s shout came.

Run Sheng immediately stopped resisting and ran backwards with all his might.

Xue Liangliang and Tan Wenbin stood on either side of the corridor, as Run Sheng ran past, the two of them together pulled out two bronze plates from grooves on each side, slamming them together.

"Splat! Splat!"

Several gecko snakes were crushed this way.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Continuous thudding sounds came from outside, a large number of gecko snakes slammed against the door, but fortunately, the door was sturdy enough to successfully block them.

This sluice gate had no bolt and couldn’t be locked; it could be opened from both sides, but that required lateral force to open, which obviously, the gecko snakes outside did not possess.

Tan Wenbin, looking at the gecko snakes on the ground that, even though their bodies were crushed, continued to wriggle and emit a "giggling" laughter, lifted his foot and stomped each one, completely crushing them.

Meanwhile, Run Sheng tore off the two that were biting his arm and leg, including chunks of his own flesh, one in each hand, face to face.

"Smack!"

Crushed both together.

Li Zhiyuan wanted to help him catch the one on his back, but Run Sheng swerved to avoid any touch.

"Xiao Yuan, don’t touch this, move away."

After saying that, Run Sheng used his back to slam against the side of the tunnel wall, directly crushing it into mush.

"Ah..."

But while pulling out the flesh earlier didn’t feel very painful, now, when crushing the one on his back, the pain seemed to directly reach deep into his brain.

When Run Sheng moved away from the wall, the gecko snake which had become mush, still hung there by a mouthpart embedded in Run Sheng’s back flesh.
