Chapter 2778 Underground Cave
Chapter 2778 Underground Cave
The five people looked at the mysterious man, with a playful smile in their eyes.
It is obvious that the mysterious man is the spy sent by the incense forces.
He was responsible for spreading incense in this medieval town.
At this moment, these people have fallen into despair and are waiting to die.
As long as there is a hope, they will pounce on it and grab it.
Sure enough, after hearing the mysterious man's words, everyone gathered around him.
"Can you really do that?"
"You're not deceiving us, are you?"
"Is this true?"
Drunkards and homeless people gathered around one by one.
The homeless man who had just stabbed the mysterious man shouted miserably: "Don't go over there, he is the real devil, he created everything!"
Yet people thought he was crazy and was taking his anger out on others.
"Don't take your anger out on others!"
"Although your whole family will be sad about your death, the town still has to survive!" the tavern owner spoke first.
"Yeah, George, stop being crazy!"
"Fortunately this one is a messenger from the gods, so he won't be killed by you."
Everyone was mocking the assassin, thinking he was a madman.
And Wen Rensheng's gaze has already been cast here.
He knew that this was a wise man...
In other words, this crazy tramp saw a strange picture in his dream.
This is of course one of the characteristics of the Cthulhu world: people with extremely high inspiration can see some scenes that happened in the future or the past.
What this crazy tramp saw in his dream were scenes from the past.
In that scene, it was this mysterious man who came to the rat cave.
He released all the rats.
Otherwise, the mice would starve to death in the solid stone caves just like humans and animals.
At least not so many at once.
This caught everyone in the town off guard and led to a disaster.
This is the truth.
Then the mysterious man demonstrated his supernatural powers with ease.
He swept towards the homeless lunatic, but did not kill him.
Instead, they allow the other party to ruin their reputation.
Wen Rensheng knew that this was exactly the clever part.
Black and red are also red.
There is someone who always speaks ill of himself, and this has become a hot spot in this closed medieval town.
Killing the other party will not bring any such benefits.
As long as people think that the homeless man is a madman, and the more the madman says that the mysterious man is the murderer, other people will think that the mysterious man is the savior.
……
Soon the mysterious man took root in the town.
With the help of the townspeople, he took over the old church.
From then on, the statue of the Virgin Mary disappeared and was replaced by a statue of a spider.
After replacing the spider statue, people did feel a little safer.
That is the frequent sound of rats in the middle of the night, and the occasional missing people no longer appear.
"Sure enough, this is the real god." Someone said in surprise.
In this way, the old priest also became the temple priest of the spider statue.
There was a madman who often appeared near the church.
"They are the devils, devils, rats, terrible rats, they are the ones who let them out."
"Rats, spiders, and centipedes are all in the same group!"
He was shouting there.
However, no one cared about him, and occasionally children would throw stones at him.
But he actually survived.
For some reason, the old priest brought him leftovers every day, which allowed him to survive.
……
Until this day, the five people who had done the investigation started to contact this crazy homeless man.
They quietly took him away from the brightly lit and bustling church in the middle of the night.
He was taken into an abandoned courtyard, and before questioning him, Lin Feng performed a little magic trick to give him a bath and clean him from head to toe.
He changed the crazy tramp's clothes and gave him a bronze mirror.
"Is this me?"
“Isn’t this me?”
Mad George looked at his refreshed self in the mirror and suddenly felt as if he were alive again.
"This is you." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, what do you want from me?"
"We want to know what happened to you, and about those rats."
……
three days later.
George led everyone to the back of the abandoned yard of the mayor's house, lifted up a pile of weeds, and revealed a deep hole.
It was completely covered by overgrown thorns and weeds.
Only when you get closer can you see the dark entrance of the cave.
The crowd did not approach it immediately, but observed it carefully.
It was like the mouth of a giant beast that swallowed up all light, and a chilling gnawing sound could be faintly heard from behind.
That was the sound of rodents gnawing on bones.
There were some broken stones scattered around the cave entrance. The stones were covered with moss, and they were wet, giving off a cold and damp smell.
Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight would shine through the gaps between the branches and barely shine near the cave entrance, but would be quickly blown away by the cold wind that rushed out of the cave, leaving the area around the cave entrance always shrouded in a hazy shadow.
After everyone looked at it for a while, Lin Feng took a deep breath and said to everyone:
"Okay, let's go down."
"Let's see which god is causing this drama."
Everyone then went in one after another.
The entrance of the cave is relatively wide, while the interior is intricate and intricate, like a natural maze.
They walked along the narrow passage, bending down and moving forward.
The passage was winding, sometimes climbing up and sometimes diving down.
The walls are covered with sharp edges and protruding rocks, as if they were traces of random carvings by nature.
But if you look closely, you can see many traces of artificial carving.
Those traces have been decorated by people, outlining a story.
"This is a painting." The girl said suddenly.
"painting?"
"Yes, I can see that this is a description of a family that was the first to receive a gift from a certain god." The girl described it trembling with fear.
"The gods granted them immortality, but the price was that they had to eat humans."
"It is said that when you eat the ten thousandth person, you will achieve immortality."
When Lin Feng heard this, he frowned.
"The familiar smell of a liar."
"It must be Nayako who did it again." He guessed.
Everyone continued to move forward.
There are small holes branching out from both sides of the passage from time to time. These holes vary in size, some of which are only wide enough for one person to crawl through, while others are spacious enough to accommodate several people walking side by side.
It is difficult to find the exact path without someone to lead the way.
And the most dangerous thing is that some roads are dead ends.
The kind where you can't turn around while walking.
That is, you can get in, but it is impossible to go back out.
This kind of road often goes downward and has smooth walls.
When you go down, there is a gravity bonus that allows you to squeeze down.
But if you want to climb up again, it will be difficult because you have no place to exert force.
As you continue walking forward, you will find that the road is a "U"-shaped bend, that is, it goes up and down.
When I got to the front, I found that there was no way to go forward.
There is no way to retreat and you can only be trapped to death in this U-shaped bend.
This is the most typical dead end.
It's like a natural trap. Once you fall into it, you can't climb out.
Fortunately, under George's leadership, everyone avoided many of these traps.
Of course George didn't know that to these people, this trap was nothing.
However, the five of them would naturally not reveal their extraordinary powers.
Because in that case, it would be difficult to use the method of "using the small to attract the big" to lure out the terrible evil god behind it.
Everyone just walked forward in the way ordinary people do.
They saw countless stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave. They had various shapes. Some were like inverted swords, sharp and sharp; some were like hanging curtains, soft and flowing.
But as they watched, they felt as if they were hallucinating.
Those stalactites were like tentacles waving at them.
"These stones are soft, don't touch them!"
The ghost touched it subconsciously and found that a stone was shaking and even dented.
This made him feel very scared.
This is not right. It is clearly stone, why has it become so soft?
Everyone looked at it immediately.
In the faint light, crystal water droplets sparkle on the stalactites, like pearls inlaid in the darkness, adding a touch of mysterious beauty to this gloomy cave.
They felt a sense of fear, the unknown, and evil gradually emerging.
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he smiled.
This is the characteristic of the Cthulhu world: a little bit of weirdness that gradually grows bigger.
Finally, a super huge monster appeared.
It can directly scare people to paralysis and give them a super emotional stimulation.
This is how to survive in this world.
……
Soon they came to a large, dark and damp underground cave.
Just after walking out of the narrow passage and coming here, they felt like they had entered a huge underground world!
This large underground cavity has many glowing stones, which are obviously radioactive stones.
They lit up the hollow as brightly as if it were day.
This is obviously very evil.
"Ah!" the girl screamed.
It turned out that a large group of rats appeared here!
They are the absolute masters here.
They shuttled through the cave in groups, the number of which was staggering.
A group of mice were busy carrying food scraps.
They bite the food with their sharp teeth and drag their long tails quickly into the deep of some branch holes.
And these food residues were actually some people’s bones, index fingers, hair, and toes!
There are also some more normal foods, which may have been found from the garbage dump above.
For mice, it is undoubtedly a rare delicacy.
They carefully observed the large underground cavity.
They could see that there were artificially carved stone walls all around them.
There were many cracks in the stone wall, and rats were crawling in and out of those cracks.
Their bodies twisted flexibly, as if those narrow gaps were passages tailor-made for them.
Some mice climbed on the stalactites on the top of the cave. They held on to the rocks with their sharp claws, pressed their bodies against the cave wall, and moved carefully.
Perhaps they were startled by the visitor.
They are either looking for a hiding place or observing new food.
Yes, in their eyes, five people are five big guys.
In some spacious branch holes, the mice gathered together.
They either chase and play with each other, or comb each other's hair, making subtle squeaking sounds, as if they are sharing some secrets.
Everyone looked at this place cautiously.
I saw that deep in the cave, there was a depression with accumulated water, and a thin layer of mist floating on the water.
The mice built small nests around the depression.
These nests are built using human ribs and skulls.
Simple but appropriate.
Everyone looked horrified.
But for mice, it is a warm haven.
They go in and out of the nest, some bringing food in and some coming out with their cubs.
Occasionally, two mice will fight over territory or food.
They bit each other and made sharp noises, attracting the attention of their companions.
This place is obviously a paradise for rats.
"What do they eat?" the girl asked in shock.
"The mayor's backyard used to be a cemetery. The bodies from nearby villages and the town were all transported here for burial." George's words answered everyone's questions.
The whole cave was filled with a pungent smell.
It was the stench of rat excrement mixed with rotting food.
The air was filled with humid vapor, making it difficult to breathe.
From time to time, the sound of dripping water could be heard in the cave, clear and ethereal, intertwined with the squeaking of mice, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
In some corners of the cave, you can see a large number of human skeletons.
Their skeletons were scattered on the ground, turned white by the erosion of time, silently telling the fragility and cruelty of life.
There are also many funerary objects.
Some are diamond rings, some are swords, some are gold teeth...
They even saw the bodies of one or two grave robbers.
The reason why we know they are tomb robbers is because they have a classic tomb-robbing tool, a shovel, with them.
This underground cave is like a kingdom of mice, where they live and multiply without being disturbed by the outside world.
For humans, this is a dark world full of fear and unknown.
Not long after, suddenly, the ghost found a statue in a corner of the cave.
It was a stone statue with many tentacles.
It looks like an elephant's head.
"This is a typical Cthulhu statue." Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Then everyone saw more than a dozen mummies kneeling around the statue.
Then, a roar came from behind them.
They turned around suddenly and found a giant rat appeared behind them!
The rat was as big as a wild boar. When it saw them, it immediately pounced on them and bit them.
The ghost subconsciously wanted to kill it with a sword.
But he was stopped by Lin Feng.
"Escape, run!"
As he said this, he started running with the four others.
Why bring four people?
Lin Feng was thinking in his heart, and suddenly realized that George was missing!
"Yeah, where did George go?" The other four looked at each other.
But they had no time to think about this problem. Lin Feng didn't let them resist, so they had to follow him and run away.
……
George turned into a giant rat.
Wen Rensheng said this.
As the only spectator, he saw the whole process.
When George brought everyone here and saw the Cthulhu statue, he gradually turned into those rats!
While everyone was paying attention to the statue, no one was thinking about George.
