Chapter 406 Skeleton Blowing
The three of them slowly descended along the climbing rope. There was dead silence all around them, with only the slight sound of the rope rubbing against the cave wall.
As they went deeper, the air became increasingly damp and cold, as if countless pairs of cold hands were wandering over their bodies.
Every inch of my skin was corroded by the cold, my pores contracted unconsciously, and waves of chills ran down my spine.
Finally, the three of them landed.
The place was filled with a pungent stench of decay, like the smell of a corpse that had been rotting for thousands of years. It was so strong that it almost turned into substance and was nauseating.
There was a sticky unknown liquid under my feet, and every step made a "puffing" sound.
As if disturbing a sleeping evil creature, the liquid was sticky and cold, like the devil's saliva, sticking tightly to the soles of their shoes, as if trying to slow them down.
A strange light flickered on the wall, sometimes brighter and sometimes dimmer, illuminating some blurry outlines that looked like human faces or the limbs of some monster.
The contours of people's faces were distorted. Some had eyes as big as copper bells, staring blankly; some had mouths stretched to their ears, revealing jagged fangs, as if screaming silently.
As for the outlines of those suspected monster limbs, some had sharp claws that seemed able to easily tear apart a person's soul; others were covered with bumps and scales, exuding a chilling aura.
There were some worn-out instruments placed around, some of which looked like ancient torture instruments, stained with dark red blood!
The bloodstains had long since dried up, appearing almost black in color, as if telling of the cruelty of the past.
The torture instruments came in various shapes. Some looked like giant clamps, their edges covered with rusty spikes, as if they had crushed countless bones.
Some looked like iron rings with chains, with pieces of broken flesh hanging on the chains, whether from humans or animals.
The barrage instantly scrolled wildly:
"Oh my god, what the hell is this place? It feels scarier than hell!"
"This smell makes me want to vomit even through the screen. Brother Chen, be careful!"
"What are those shadows on the wall? They're scary!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound of footsteps was heard, like a woman walking in high heels.
The footsteps were particularly clear in the silent environment. Every step seemed to be stepping on a person's heartbeat, the rhythm was disordered and full of weirdness.
They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure dressed in gorgeous ancient costume slowly walking towards them.
When she got closer, everyone realized that she had no head!
Blood was still oozing from the broken neck. The color of the blood was extremely bright, and it was particularly dazzling in the dim environment. It dripped onto the ground, making a "tick-tick" sound. Every drop of blood that fell to the ground was like a countdown bell, striking at their nerves.
The ancient costume was originally a gorgeous pink, but now it was stained with blood. The pink and red were intertwined together to form a creepy color combination, as if it was a picture of death painted with blood.
The headless beauty's hands were as slender as white jade, but her nails were long and sharp, flashing with a cold light. There seemed to be some black substance remaining on her nails, like poison or rotten meat.
She floated towards Chen Yile and the others at an extremely fast speed. The air seemed to be frozen wherever she passed, leaving a cold trail.
Chen Yile shouted, "Everyone be careful!"
As he spoke, he swung the Heavenly Master Sword and slashed at the headless beauty.
But when the sword hit her, it was like it was hitting the air, it went straight through her body without any resistance, but instead brought up a biting cold wind, which cut across their faces like a knife.
The headless beauty continued to float forward, stretching out her hands to grab Lin Qingyao.
Lin Qingyao dodged in fear, but her arm was still touched a little.
In an instant, Lin Qingyao felt a sharp pain in her arm, as if it was corroded by strong acid. A hole was burned in her clothes, and her skin began to turn black and bubble. The black blisters spread rapidly, and there seemed to be countless insects wriggling inside, emitting a mixed smell of burnt and rotten.
"This thing can't be killed, let's go!" Chen Yile shouted.
The three of them turned around and ran away, with the headless beauty chasing them closely.
Her figure appeared and disappeared in the dim light, and each flash brought her closer to them. The air currents she brought up when she moved were icy cold, blowing their hair into all directions as if countless cold hands were pulling at it.
There was panic in the barrage:
"My God, this beauty is so terrifying, and she can't be killed!"
"Brother Chen and the others, run faster! I feel like we're about to be caught up!"
"This is the most terrifying monster I've ever seen, bar none!"
The three of them fled desperately in this strange environment. After running for an unknown amount of time, they finally found a cave.
There was a layer of white mist at the entrance of the cave, and some black threads were faintly moving in the mist, like some kind of mysterious seal.
They rushed into the cave and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
The cave was filled with an old smell, as if it had been sealed for thousands of years. There were some tiny water droplets on the walls, which flowed down the walls and gathered into small puddles on the ground. The surrounding environment was reflected in the puddles, but it appeared distorted, like another world full of horror.
"Take a rest first and recover your strength." Chen Yile said.
Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong nodded, their faces full of fear and exhaustion. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, but they stuck to their bodies without feeling any warmth, only endless coldness.
Chen Yile and Lin Qingyao sat together, and it was so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing.
Suddenly, Chen Yile felt a cool breeze blowing against his ears, as if someone was blowing gently.
The cool air was mixed with a foul smell, as if it was blowing out from an ancient tomb, carrying the breath of death.
He subconsciously thought that Lin Qingyao was joking, so he said, "Qingqing, stop it."
Lin Qingyao was woken up in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she screamed in fright.
Chen Yile hurriedly opened his eyes, only to find a skeleton next to him.
Green flames flickered in the skeleton's eye sockets, and the flames jumped unsteadily, like ghost fire from hell. The empty eye sockets seemed to be able to see through the human soul, deep and terrifying.
Its bones were a strange black color, with some strange patterns engraved on them. The patterns looked like some ancient curse symbols, emitting a mysterious and evil power that made people feel as if their souls were being eroded at a glance.
The skeleton pounced towards Chen Yile, and Chen Yile hurriedly stood up to fight.
He swung the Tianshi Sword at the skeleton, but found that the sword only produced a few sparks when it hit the bones. The skeleton was unharmed and instead made a "cuckoo" sound, as if mocking their powerlessness.
