Chapter 2778 Underground Cave

The five people looked at the mysterious man, and a playful smile appeared in their eyes.

It was obvious that the mysterious man was a spy sent by the incense force.

He was responsible for spreading incense in this medieval town.

At this moment, these people were already in despair and waiting to die.

As long as there was a hope, they would rush over and grab it.

Sure enough, after hearing the words of the mysterious man, everyone gathered around.

"Can you really do it?"

"Are you deceiving us?"

"Is this true?"

The drunkards and tramps gathered around one by one.

The tramp who had just assassinated the mysterious man shouted miserably there: "Don't go over there, he is the real devil, he created everything!"

However, people thought he was crazy and he was taking his anger out on others.

"Don't take your anger out on others!"

"Although your whole family will be very upset if you die, the town still has to survive!" The tavern owner said first.

"Yeah, George, don't go crazy again!"

"Fortunately, this one is the messenger of God, so he won't be killed by you."

Everyone was mocking the assassin, thinking he was a madman.

And Wen Rensheng's sight had already been cast here.

But he knew that this was a wise man...

Or, 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 pictures of the future or the past.

This crazy tramp, what he saw in his dream was the past picture.

In that picture, it was this mysterious man who came to the mouse cave.

He released all the mice.

Otherwise, the mice would be starved to death in the solid stone cave like humans and animals.

At least there wouldn't be so many at once.

It caught everyone in the town off guard, causing a disaster.

This is the truth.

Then the mysterious man showed his magic so easily.

He swept towards the tramp madman, but didn't kill him.

Instead, he allowed the other party to ruin his reputation.

Wen Rensheng knew that this was exactly the clever part.

Black and red are also red.

There was a person who was always saying bad things about him, which just happened to form a hot spot in this closed medieval town.

Killing the other party would not have such a benefit.

As long as people thought that the tramp was a lunatic, and the more the lunatic said that the mysterious man was the murderer, other people would think that the mysterious man was the savior.

…

Soon the mysterious man took root in the town.

With the help of the townspeople, he occupied the old church.

From then on, the statue of the Virgin Mary disappeared and was replaced by a spider statue.

After the spider statue was replaced, people did feel a little safer.

That is, the frequent sounds of rats in the middle of the night and the occasional missing people no longer appeared.

"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.

And near the church, there was often a madman.

"They are the devils, devils, rats, terrible rats, they are the ones who let them out."

"Rats, spiders, and centipedes, they are all in the same group!"

He shouted there.

However, no one cared about him, and occasionally children would throw stones at him.

But he survived like this.

Because the old priest brought him leftovers every day for some reason, which allowed him to continue to survive.

...

Until this day, the five people who had done a good investigation began to contact this crazy homeless man.

They quietly took him away from the front of the brightly lit and lively church in the middle of the night.

Took him into an abandoned courtyard. Before asking, Lin Feng used a little magic to bathe and clean him from head to toe.

He also changed the clothes for the crazy homeless man, and then gave him a bronze mirror.

"Is this me?"

"Is this not me?"

Crazy George looked at himself in the mirror, who was refreshed, and suddenly felt as if he was alive again.

"This is you." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, what do you want to see me about?"

"We want to know what happened to you and the rats."

...

Three days later.

George led everyone to the back of the abandoned yard of the mayor's house, and lifted a pile of weeds, revealing a deep hole.

It was covered tightly by thorns and weeds.

Only when you get close can you see the dark hole.

Everyone did not approach immediately, but observed it carefully.

It was like the mouth of a giant beast that swallowed all the light, and there was a chilling gnawing sound from behind.

It was the sound of rodents gnawing bones.

There were some broken stones scattered around the hole, covered with moss, wet, and exuding a cold and damp breath.

Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight penetrated the gaps between the branches and barely sprinkled near the hole, but were soon blown away by the gloomy wind that gushed out of the hole, making the area around the hole 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 caused this drama."

Everyone then went in one after another.

The entrance of the cave is relatively wide, and the interior is intricate, like a natural maze.

They walked along the narrow passage, bowing their heads and bending forward.

The passage was winding, sometimes climbing up, sometimes diving down.

The walls were covered with sharp stone edges and protruding rocks, as if they were traces of random carvings by nature.

But if you look closely, you can see that there are many traces of artificial carving.

Those traces have been decorated by people, outlining a story.

"This is a painting." The girl suddenly said.

"Painting?"

"Yes, I can see it. It describes a family that was the first to receive a gift from a certain god." The girl described it tremblingly,

"The god gave them immortality, and the price was to eat people as food."

"It is said that when you eat the ten thousandth person, you will be immortal."

Lin Feng frowned when he heard this.

"The familiar smell of a liar."

"It must be Nayako again." He guessed.

Everyone continued to move forward.

There are small holes branching out from time to time on both sides of the passage. These small holes vary in size. Some can only accommodate one person to crawl through, while others are spacious enough to accommodate several people walking side by side.

If there is no one to lead the way, it is difficult to find the exact path.

And the most dangerous thing is that some roads are dead ends.

The kind that you can't turn around while walking.

That is, you can get in, but it's impossible to go back.

This kind of road is often downward, and its walls are very smooth.

When you go down, there is a gravity bonus that allows you to squeeze down.

But if you want to climb up again, it's difficult.

Because you have no place to exert force.

When you continue to move forward, you will find that this road is a "U"-shaped bend, that is, an up and down road.

When you get to the front, you will find that there is no way to go in.

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 is similar to a natural trap. If you fall down, you can't climb up.

Fortunately, under George's leadership, everyone avoided many such traps.

Of course George didn't know that for these people, this trap was nothing.

But the five people would naturally not expose 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.

Everyone walked forward in the way of ordinary people.

A correct version in 16-9 Book Bar!

They saw countless stalactites hanging on the top of the cave. They were in various shapes. Some were like upside-down swords, sharp and sharp; some were like hanging curtains, soft and elegant.

But as they looked, they felt that there seemed to be hallucinations in front of them.

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 directly and even dented.

This made him feel very scared.

This is wrong. It is obviously a stone. Why is it so soft?

Everyone looked immediately.

Under the weak light, crystal water droplets flickered on the stalactites, like pearls inlaid in the darkness, adding a touch of mysterious beauty to this gloomy cave.

They felt a trace of fear, unknown, and evil gradually appearing.

Wen Rensheng saw this and laughed.

This is the characteristic of the Cthulhu world: a little bit of weirdness, gradually magnified.

Finally, a super big monster appeared.

It directly paralyzed people and gave them a super emotional stimulation.

This is the way to survive in this world.

…

Soon they came to a dark and damp underground cave.

Just after walking out of the narrow passage and coming here, they felt like entering a huge underground world!

This underground cave has many stones that emit faint light, which are obviously radioactive stones.

They illuminate the cave as brightly as daytime.

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 in groups in the cave, and the number was staggering.

A group of rats were busy carrying food scraps.

They bit the food with their sharp teeth, dragged their long tails, and quickly dragged it deep into some branch caves.

And these food scraps were actually some human bones, index fingers, hair, and toes!

Some were more normal food, which might have been found from the garbage dump above.

For rats, it was undoubtedly a rare delicacy.

They carefully observed this large underground cave.

They could see that there were artificially carved stone walls around.

There were many cracks in the stone walls, and the rats were drilling in and out of those wall cracks.

Their bodies twisted flexibly, as if those narrow cracks were passages tailor-made for them.

Some rats climbed on the stalactites on the top of the cave, holding the rocks tightly with their sharp claws, their bodies pressed against the cave wall, and moved carefully.

They might have been startled by the visitor.

They were either looking for a hiding place or observing new food.

Yes, in their eyes, five people were five big things.

In some spacious branch holes, the mice gathered together.

They chased and played with each other, or combed each other's hair, making subtle squeaks, as if they were communicating some secrets.

Everyone looked at this place carefully.

In the depths of the cave, there was a depression with accumulated water, and a thin layer of mist floated on the water.

The mice built small nests around the depression.

These nests were built with human ribs and skulls.

Simple and suitable.

Everyone was horrified.

But for mice, it was a warm haven.

They went in and out of the nest, some with food in, and some with cubs out.

Occasionally, two mice would fight for territory or food.

They bit each other and made sharp cries, attracting the surrounding companions to watch.

This is a paradise for mice.

"What do they eat?" the girl said in shock.

"The mayor's backyard used to be a cemetery. The bodies from the nearby villages and the town were 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 and rotten food mixed together.

The air was filled with humid water vapor, making people feel uncomfortable to breathe.

The sound of dripping water came from the cave from time to time, crisp and ethereal, intertwined with the squeaking of rats, adding a bit of weird atmosphere.

In some corners of the cave, a large number of human skeletons can be seen.

Their skeletons were scattered on the ground, eroded by time and turned white, silently telling the fragility and cruelty of life.

There were also many burial objects.

Some were diamond rings, some were swords, and some were gold teeth...

They even saw the bodies of one or two tomb robbers.

The reason why they knew they were tomb robbers was because they had a classic tomb-robbing tool, a shovel, with them.

This underground cave is like a kingdom of rats, where they thrive 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 looked like an elephant head.

"This is a typical Cthulhu statue." Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Then everyone saw that there were more than a dozen mummies kneeling around the statue.

Then, there was a roar behind them.

They turned around suddenly, only to find a giant rat behind them!

The rat was as big as a wild boar, and when it saw them, it immediately pounced on them.

The ghost subconsciously wanted to kill it with a sharp sword.

But was stopped by Lin Feng.

"Run, run!"

He said this and started running with four people.

Why did he take four people?

Lin Feng thought to himself, and suddenly realized that George was gone!

"Yes, where did George go?" The other four looked at each other.

But they didn't have time to think about this problem. Lin Feng didn't let them resist, so they had to run away.

...

George turned into a giant rat.

Wen Rensheng said so.

As the only spectator, he saw the whole process.

When George brought everyone here and saw the Cthulhu statue, he gradually turned into the appearance of those rats!

When everyone was paying attention to the statue, no one thought of George.
