"Old demolition?"
Someone shouted at the tomb robber.
As expected, there was no response.
Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn.
Everyone walked lightly and cautiously towards the cliff that Lao Chai had just mentioned.
"Old demolition?"
There was a man standing on the edge of the cliff. It was the local farmer who had explored the way before.
"Shh——" Lao Chai turned around and made a very cautious gesture of silence to everyone.
Chu Mu's gaze had already passed him and looked towards the other side of the cliff.
It was a large space with no visible boundaries.
The rolling clouds were like fairyland mist, almost filling the entire space.
In the mist, one could vaguely see an object floating in the air. Chu Mu seemed to be guided by something and was about to walk over.
"Little mute." Jie also held his hand, "Follow me, it's not your turn here yet."
It was clearly out of concern, but after understanding the situation, the taste in my mouth changed.
[He's a handsome guy, with a nice figure, but unfortunately he has a mouth. My soul is asking myself, can I poison him to silence him?]
"Meow~~" {I am a porcelain.}
Xie Ye's eyes were filled with smiles - My wife is so cute!!
The two men's wild thoughts did not last long, because they soon reached the edge of the cliff.
The fog in front of him seemed to dissipate a little, and Chu Mu could see the objects opposite clearly.
No, to be precise, it's not the opposite.
"What is this?" A look of surprise appeared on Jie Ye's face.
"The Floating Sky Palace!" Professor Bespectacled was excited. "The Floating Sky Palace actually floats like this! It's truly a work of art!"
On the opposite side of the cliff is still a pitch-black mountain, and in the middle of the two mountains, a magnificent palace is suspended.
Countless thick iron chains extended from the mountains on both sides, and the other ends were fixed to the four mechanisms of the palace, hanging the entire building in mid-air, making it look like it was floating in the sky.
"We finally found the Floating Sky Temple!" Old Lady Jie was so excited that she didn't care about the group of people around her and threw herself into the arms of the male protagonist of the plane.
She acted like a little woman, but the hero had a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't even have the mood to pretend.
His eyes stared greedily at the floating palace: "Look, this floating palace, is it made of gold?"
The entire temple was shining with golden light, almost illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Gulp.
Someone swallowed and said, "Let's hurry over..."
"That's easy to say, but how can we get through this?"
There is no bridge leading to the other side of the cliff, and there is a bottomless abyss below the cliff. Just looking at it makes your legs tremble.
"Let's climb the chains." A skilled climber was already rubbing his hands in anticipation. "Isn't there a ready-made one here?"
"Shut up!" Lao Chai growled in a suppressed voice, his shoulders trembling and his eyes widening in fear. "They, they're awake..."
"What woke up?"
People followed the old demolition's sight and looked -
At this time, the fog dissipated a little, and everyone's vision became clearer.
clang.
One of the nearest chains swung slightly, making a dull thud.
[Is the wind blowing?] Chu Mu looked at Jie Ye's still hair, [No.]
He turned his head suddenly, and his sharp eyes swept across the chain that was shaking more and more violently like a knife.
"Squeak——" "Squeak——"
A strange cry suddenly floated over, and then a group of black dots flew into the air from the chains.
【not good!】
Chu Mu's heart sank. He hugged Jie Ye with his left and right hands while pulling Lin Zhao, and also shouted "Ah" to warn Lu Yan.
With an explosive force, he pushed the two men directly under the boulder.
Lu Yan reacted quickly and followed.
"What's wrong?" It was the first time that Jie saw such a nervous look on the little mute's face, and his heart rose to his throat.
“Ahhhhhh—”
There was no need for Chu Mu to answer, as screams were heard from outside.
Lu Yan, who was hiding at the very edge, peeked out briefly, then quickly shrank back with a pale face.
"It's a bug. A bug that eats people."
No further description is needed to describe it, the faces of several people became extremely ugly.
Corpse flies, a kind of evil insect that uses corpses as a breeding ground, love to drill into people's bodies while they are still alive and eat their internal organs.
Corpse flies first target the seven human orifices, with the nose, mouth, and ears being their favorites, followed by the eyes. Because they dislike eyeballs getting in the way, they often eat them first...
Text messages kept flashing in Chu Mu's mind.
And with every sentence he read, Xie Ye and Lin Zhao's expressions became uglier.
“Ahhhhhhhhh—”
Boom.
A figure fell not far from them.
The person was not dead yet, and his hands and feet were still twitching.
When Chu Mu looked over, the man's head just turned around.
"Save—me—"
He opened his mouth and muffled sounds came out from the gaps between the huddled corpses and flies.
One of his eyes had been drilled full, with many black insect bodies writhing in the eye socket.
"Don't look." A hand covered with cold sweat gently covered Chu Mu's eyes, "Don't be afraid."
[Fool, you're clearly scared to death yourself.]
A bright curve appeared at the corner of Chu Mu's mouth.
squeak--
The strange chirping sounds of insects stacked together sounded like some kind of large bulldozer.
Jie also took off his coat and covered Chu Mu's head and body with it.
[It's useless. Corpse flies can even chew bones, let alone a piece of clothing.]
Jie Ye stopped moving and his eyebrows formed the shape of the word "川".
[Now that the corpse flies have been attracted to the people on this side of the cliff, the best thing to do is to seize the opportunity and run away quickly. However, those tomb robbers instinctively ran down the mountain to escape, taking the corpse flies with them.]
The only way we can run is to run onto those dangling chains... How can I tell them to run onto the chains?
Chu Mu was still worried when the clothes covering his head were pulled off.
"Little Mute, I plan to go to the Floating Sky Palace to take a look. Do you dare?"
Jie Ye's eyes sparkled.
[That's right!] Chu Mu jumped up, [If you want to go, hurry up, or the bugs will come back!]
As soon as his thoughts moved, Lin Zhao rushed out first: "Jie Ye, you protect Chu Mu, I'll lead the way!"
She was holding her coat in her hands and swatting the flies when she saw them.
Lu Yan naturally followed.
These two people seemed to be risking their lives to deliberately attract the corpse flies that were still on the cliff and take them away from Chu Mujie.
[This is useless. The corpse flies can only be burned with fire.]
Chu Mu pulled Lao Ba out of his backpack and stuffed two lighters into it:
[Send this to Bai Yueguang—Don't say you can't do it, corpse flies only fly into the human body, you are a cat.]
Just as he was about to find an excuse, Lao Ba held the ignition torch in his mouth with despair, twisting his fat buttocks and shedding kelp tears.
——Bugs and the like are the most annoying!
