Chapter 323 Stone Statue
The passage that originally looked square suddenly became a little different. At this time, the passage became oval and winding. There were many pointed crystals emitting faint light on the stone wall, row by row, looking like sharp teeth.
Looking back, I found that the T-junction and the stone statue I came from were gone. There was also a circular passage over there, with many sharp crystals growing on it, and I couldn't see the end at a glance.
The ghost bride floated over from somewhere and was right next to Zhou Wen, but the other companion pets were gone.
When Zhou Wen was wondering, he suddenly felt the channel shaking violently. No, it should be said to be shaking. The entire channel was shrinking, and the inner wall of the channel was rotating. Because of the rotation, those sharp crystals turned into terrifying weapons like cutting machines.
As the passage shrank, the space where the bloody man could stand became smaller and smaller. Zhou Wen quickly summoned the Overlord Spear, wanting to poke a big hole in the shrinking passage.
However, the Overlord Spear thrust out, reaching the handle, but still could not penetrate the stone wall, and no one knew how thick the stone wall was.
The rotating stone wall made it impossible for Zhou Wen to hold the Overlord Spear, and he was suddenly swept up.
Zhou Wen was in the air and summoned the banana fan again. The Taiyin wind blew directly into the passage, but it didn't have much effect. The strong wind blew along the passage and blew out for an unknown distance without hitting anything.
The passage was getting tighter and tighter, and finally closed completely. The bloody man was strangled in it, and the game screen went black.
Zhou Wen's face turned ugly. If the old principal and the others encountered the same situation after entering the passage, then their chances of survival would be almost zero.
"Only the ghost bride with a ghost body was not strangled by the strange passage, but after the ghost bride entered the passage, she lost contact with me. It's useless for her to survive in there." Zhou Wen thought about it and opened the Zhuolu copy again. He wanted to try what would happen in the passage on the right.
If the right channel is the same as the left channel, then you can basically give up hope of rescuing the old principal.
When Zhou Wen came to the passage again, he decisively chose the passage on the right.
When he stepped into the passage, he couldn't help but shiver again, and a very ominous feeling arose in his heart again.
The passage on the right is somewhat different from the one on the left. It is still a square stone passage and does not have those sharp crystals.
However, Zhou Wen discovered many strange characters on the stone walls of the passage. Some of those characters looked like hieroglyphs, but they also seemed a little different. In any case, Zhou Wen did not recognize what they were.
I looked back and found that the intersection where I came in was also gone.
Zhou Wen felt a little relieved. Although it felt very ominous, there was no fatal danger after all. If the old principal and the others had chosen the passage on the right, they might have survived.
Zhou Wen controlled the bloody man to move forward. For some reason, he always felt that there were many pairs of eyes watching him in the dark, but when he looked around, he did not find any living creature.
As he walked, Zhou Wen felt something was increasingly wrong, and the feeling of being watched grew stronger and stronger.
"Are those the words?" Zhou Wen frowned slightly, staring at the strange words on the stone wall. If there was anything in the passage, it would only be these strange words.
Zhou Wen summoned the Overlord Spear and stabbed it directly at one of the characters on the stone wall. The Overlord Spear's invincible ability took effect and stabbed directly into the stone wall, piercing through one character at a time.
Puff!
Zhou Wen only felt a tearing pain in his left ear, and blood spurted out from the bloody man's ear.
The next second, Zhou Wen saw those strange characters transform into small monsters with tails, oval bodies, and characters engraved on them. However, the characters had eyes inside. They opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, flapped their bat-like wings, and bit towards the bloody man.
Zhou Wen waved the Overlord Spear to attack the little monsters, but every time his spear hit a little monster, an organ on his body would rupture. After killing several little monsters, the bloody little man's body could no longer hold on.
Summoning the palm-leaf fan, the Taiyin wind blew towards the group of small monsters, instantly blowing them away and freezing their bodies into pieces.
Almost at the same time, the bloody man's body turned into ice and shattered to the ground, and the game screen went black.
"What kind of weird things are those? Attacking them will actually backfire on you?" Zhou Wen naturally saw the peculiarity of those little monsters, but even though he saw it, he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while.
"No matter which path we choose, it seems to be a dead end. The old principal and the others are probably in great danger." Zhou Wen sighed inwardly. Judging from the situation, the old principal is likely to be in great danger.
Zhou Wen tried a few more times. Even if he didn't provoke the little monsters transformed from words, they would pounce on him and bite him. Even if Zhou Wen wore the stone armor transformed from Shi Chi, it couldn't stop the sharp teeth of the little monsters. It seemed that they could bite through anything.
"Both the passages on the left and right are for eating people... It's impossible to get through..." Zhou Wen thought to himself, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Wait... eating people..."
He thought of the stone statue at the T-junction. The statue only had a mouth and no other facial features, which made people look extremely uncomfortable.
The passages on the left and right sides seemed to be eaten up in the end, and there seemed to be some connection between them.
When Zhou Wen came to the stone statue again, he did not enter the passages on both sides, but looked at the stone statue carefully, hoping to find some clues.
However, he could not see anything strange about the stone statue. He became furious and took out his Overlord Spear and shot the statue in the head.
But the next second, Zhou Wen saw a very terrifying scene. The stone statue opened its mouth and swallowed the bloody little man and his gun together in one gulp. The game screen instantly went dark.
"The problem is indeed with the stone statue." Zhou Wen did not enter the game again immediately, but called Ansheng.
The phone rang a few times, and it actually got through. An Sheng's voice came: "Master Wen, what's the matter?"
"Asheng, have you checked the stone statues in the inner hall?" Zhou Wen asked.
"We've checked it in detail and found no mechanism," An Sheng said.
"Who carved the stone statue? Have you found out?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"We've asked some experts to conduct research and verify the case. They believe the most likely candidate is Ao Yin, a monster from myth and legend. It's somewhat human-like in shape, but incredibly powerful and enjoys eating human brains..." An Sheng recounted the results of the experts' analysis in detail.
