Chapter 318 Corpse Oil Street Lights
Behind this glowing stone door.
It is an unknown new world.
Although Wu Xian was curious, he resisted the urge to push the door.
First of all, there is a high possibility that he may not be able to push it.
Secondly, his task was just to find a foothold and a way forward after getting into the water, and now he has completed the task.
He shouldn't face the danger behind the door alone. Su Xuan and Wei Qinglan should share the responsibility with him.
Wu Xian used a specific frequency to pull the fishing line on his body.
This is to notify the other two that they can come down.
After the fishing line was reeled in, a splash was heard.
A stone falls into the water first, breaking the surface tension of the water.
Then Su Xuan jumped down from the well. Since it was confirmed that it was safe below, he didn't want to descend slowly.
"Cool!"
Su Xuan, soaking wet, fell on the rock and shivered.
As the blessed land progressed, Su Xuan had not drunk alcohol for several days, and his condition was getting better and better, with only occasional symptoms of alcohol dependence.
While talking.
Wei Qinglan also came down on the fishing line. After reaching the predetermined height, he swayed his body from side to side, and then jumped lightly and landed nimbly on the stone. Except for his feet, almost nothing else was wet.
After the three of them arrived.
Wu Xian spent two minutes telling the two men about the situation underground.
Then Wu Xian and Su Xuan began to work together to push the light door on the boulder. The door was so thick that the two of them took great pains to barely open a gap large enough for one person to pass through.
Because of the small place.
Wei Qinglan was unable to contribute, so she stood at the back.
As the door was pushed open, the things behind it gradually became visible. Although it was dark, at least it could be confirmed that there was a large space outside.
But she didn't have time to be happy.
She saw a vague human-shaped shadow in the darkness, rushing towards her at an unexpected speed!
puff!
The black shadow directly hugged Wei Qinglan.
But Wei Qinglan didn't feel that he had touched a solid entity. He glanced at it and found that the black shadow was made up of countless insects, scorpions, centipedes, various beetles, worms, flying insects...
Just one look at it made her almost faint, and these strange insects seemed to have a tendency to disperse...
"what……"
Wei Qinglan subconsciously wanted to scream, and her body couldn't help but move backwards. She was about to fall into the water, but Wu Xian grabbed her hand and covered her mouth to prevent her from making too much noise.
"Calm down, this thing is dissipating."
Wei Qinglan then realized that this group of insects, which seemed to be wriggling, was actually slowly turning into black smoke and disappearing. They were almost intangible, just a group of invisible phantoms...
Within a few seconds, the black shadow disappeared into thin air. Wei Qinglan didn't feel anything unusual except feeling nauseous.
"The road ahead is unknown, and there may be monsters hiding in the darkness. The three of us are just here to explore the way. Try to move forward quietly and don't attract any monsters..."
Wei Qinglan had also seen big scenes, so he quickly calmed down. Su Xuan didn't need Wu Xian to explain too much. The three of them quickly got ready and walked towards the unknown beyond the light gate with torches in hand.
They moved forward slowly.
Everything on the road is worth observing, and all places in the darkness are worth being vigilant. There is a lot of space outside the stone gate.
What is even more surprising is that there happens to be an underground river nearby. The width of the river is just right for placing the coffin inside. The coffin can be easily moved by pulling it with a rope. They can use this waterway to transport the coffin.
The roads on land are a bit difficult to travel on.
The ground and walls were all uneven, and very uncomfortable to walk on.
If you look closely in the light of the torch, you can see that those twisted protrusions are all hideous human shapes, as if there are countless people embedded in the rock walls and the ground!
Wei Qinglan gently touched a human face, and it felt exactly like rock, so he asked in a low voice: "Are these people on the rock wall real or fake?"
Su Xuan shrugged: "We'll know if we try."
He took out a small dagger and prepared to find a human-shaped rock wall to test it out.
Wu Xian stopped him, pointed to a human-shaped rock not far away and said, "Don't try, they are all human... or they used to be human."
In the direction Wu Xian pointed, there was also a human-shaped rock, but this human-shaped rock was only half-rocked, and the head still looked like normal flesh and blood.
This half-stone, half-human creature, after discovering Wu Xian and the others, stared at them intently and uttered a whispering cry for help.
"Save me, save me..."
"How can we save you?"
Wu Xian pointed his finger at his forehead, and his fingertips felt cold, as if it was a squid that had been in the refrigerator for a long time, without the slightest warmth that a living person should have.
So, this is a dead person!
"How can I save me...how can I save me?"
The strange man talked to himself in confusion, tears and blood flowing from his eyes, and then he just kept repeating this sentence. No matter what others asked him, he no longer responded.
Wu Xian shook his head and continued forward with the two of them.
The further you go back, the more dead bodies you see embedded in the rock wall. Maybe one of your feet will step on someone's face. The dead bodies are activated one by one, uttering unconscious murmurs, and the whole space is filled with the sound of a dream.
This sound has its benefits.
At least Wu Xian and others can speak in a low voice without worrying about being heard by others.
In addition to these guys embedded in the wall, you can occasionally see human-shaped phantoms made up of insects, just like before. These things wander around aimlessly on the road, and when they see people, they will pounce on them and then dissipate out of thin air. Occasionally, they will condense out of thin air in the air...
These black shadows might be the resentment left by the monster in the pit that has been devouring insects for years.
This road is not very long and is always downhill. The depth they are at now should be far beyond the bottom of the well.
As they walked, the road ahead suddenly became clear, and there was even a bright fire at the intersection. Wu Xian poked the torch into the water to extinguish it. He would not need the torch for the rest of the road.
This is a very spacious underground road.
Su Xuan squatted on the ground and looked at the footprints left on the road: "This road should be often walked by people, and they all carry heavy objects. It seems that those people carrying coffins back from here are not occasional."
Wei Qinglan was looking at the lights.
Yes.
There are street lights on this road. The lamp poles are petrified dead people, holding half a skull in their hands, and inside the skull is an oil lamp.
"This smell and texture... is corpse oil!"
Wu Xian casually touched the wall and found his hands were greasy.
"Those dead bodies will release some oil during the petrification process... For this underground road, the corpse oil should be inexhaustible."
"But this street light system needs to be maintained all the time. Who is adding corpse oil on time?"
