Chapter 320 “She” Wakes Up
Everyone who heard it laughed. He Lingchuan could feel that his morale was slightly boosted, because the already thin Yuanli in his body became a little thicker.
Although the Yuanli had limited effect on these monsters, it was a good thing to boost morale after all.
He pretended to be relaxed: "Hold on a little longer, and reinforcements will come."
The team member with injured eyes couldn't help asking: "Do we really have reinforcements?"
"Of course." Menban said in a deep voice, "We are just the first batch. If we don't come out soon, Shanze will also report to the military and send reinforcements. This has passed..."
"Two hours!" He Lingchuan said firmly, "Reinforcements will definitely come, we must not lose heart, and we must not give this monster more opportunities!"
Facing an enemy that seemed unbeatable, they needed a chance, and they also needed--
and hope!
...
She was immersed in a beautiful dream.
The sky here was still blue, the grass was still green, and the cherry tree in the yard had just been planted. As the daughter of a wealthy family, she could wash her face with the freshly drawn spring water, and then moisturize her skin with rose essential oil mixed with milk.
The maid would comb and wash her hair. The biggest worry in her life was that her cousin said a few unpleasant words behind her back.
When the cherries were ripe and produced big red fruits, she chose a marriage that was well-matched with her, and the cherry tree was also a dowry. She had a gentle husband and lived a happy life.
Later...
Then the cherry tree became the same as it had just been planted, and she was a little girl with bright eyes and white teeth, growing up carefree.
Then she got married and lived a happy and harmonious life.
Then repeat, repeat, repeat.
But she didn't think there was anything wrong, everything was so natural.
Happiness is always the same, isn't it?
She just had to immerse herself.
Finally one day, when she went to pick cherries, she found a blood stain on the leaves, which was shocking.
Who accidentally cut his hand?
Then she turned around the cherry tree and saw her gentle and considerate husband lying in a pool of blood, his eyes staring at her, condensing the last fear of his life.
She covered her eyes and fell to her knees.
From the moment she put down her hands, the world changed.
The city was captured by the enemy, the home was destroyed by the war, the family collapsed, and the family members died and scattered.
She couldn't even save the cherry tree. Seeing it turned into charcoal in the fire, she got a little warmth in the cold winter.
The days that followed were bitter and dark.
For a bite of food, she fought with wild dogs for food; for a place to live, she slept with three men in the family.
Later, she became a concubine to a businessman, but he used her to entertain business partners, one of whom got drunk and beat the baby in her belly.
She cried all day long and sought spiritual sustenance.
Fortunately, the gods were merciful and sent her a lovely child.
A white and fat child who never cried or made a fuss and always grinned at her.
Her life was comforted again.
At this moment, red rain fell from the sky, and it was stinging on her face.
She spread her hands and saw that both hands were covered with bright red.
The children around her burst into tears and tried to pull her away. But suddenly a person came out of the darkness, ignoring the children's obstruction, and pushed her into the rain, ordering her to open her eyes with a cold voice:
"Wash your eyes and see clearly what you gave birth to!"
The red rain hit her eyes, and the stinging pain increased tenfold, causing her eye sockets to throb constantly, but her vision suddenly became clear.
The image of the child changed in her eyes under the rain.
The white and plump baby turned into a grotesque evil ghost.
The evil ghost that only appears in the deepest nightmare.
They surrounded her and called her mother, sucked her blood, and gnawed her flesh, and every bite was heart-wrenching.
They dug open her belly and got out, eating one human after another.
Everyone cried to her, and everyone cursed her.
But she felt that she was happy before?
So, is this the truth?
One after another, unbearable horrors came to her, and she couldn't stand it anymore, and screamed!
…
Deep in the mine, a secret stone chamber.
There is nothing here, only a woman lying on a natural stone platform, with her eyes closed and a peaceful expression, but there are long and straight things like tendons extending from her limbs and temples on both sides, connected to the four corners of the stone chamber.
Or, they grow together.
Occasionally, she trembles, and the whole mine will tremble with it.
It is also very quiet here, the air is dry, and there is no noise.
But the next second, she suddenly opened her eyes and screamed!
She woke up and saw her situation clearly in an instant. The fear not only did not subside, but became even greater.
What she saw and heard in the red rain was actually true?
Where is this, where is she trapped, and why is her body so painful inside and out?
Of course, she noticed the abnormality in her temples and limbs and struggled hard. These flesh and tendons were peeled off from some creature, and they were extremely sticky.
It felt like another layer of skin had grown on her body.
Fortunately, she was able to tear it off with force.
As she pulled the last three tendons, she seemed to hear a terrifying roar from deep in the mine.
What was even more terrifying was that she could understand it.
The creature was shouting at her: "Mother, don't!"
The woman shuddered and tore the tendons faster.
…
The red rain came quickly and went away quickly. It only took half an hour for the rain to stop and the clouds to clear.
If it weren't for the withered ground, it would be as if nothing had happened.
But now, it was dark.
"Don't touch objects that have been soaked by the red rain." General Hong ordered his men, "Follow me."
The power of this red rain is comparable to that of a deadly poison. The guards of the Gale Army saw it and kept their distance.
But General Hong was incredibly fast, and he entered the cave in a flash. When everyone rushed over, they saw his cloak disappearing into the corner.

"Crack", a crisp and ugly sound of fracture, the Jindu cub broke Xu Chun's neck.
He failed to swing, and was caught by the opponent, and his companions were unable to rescue him.
If it were normal, He Lingchuan, Liu Tiao and others would probably be able to provide assistance, but now everyone's physical strength has been exhausted, and it is difficult to even swing a decent knife.
Instead, the speed of the Jindu ghost is getting faster and faster, and it is difficult for human eyes to keep up.
He Lingchuan's knife and Duan Xinyu's gun stabbed the Jindu cub, especially the former, who cut open its hard plastron, causing blood to flow and its internal organs to be exposed.
But Xu Chun could not be saved.
He Lingchuan closed his eyes, his heart sinking to the bottom of the valley.
All the medicines they carried with them had been eaten. They needed to sit down and meditate to regulate their breathing and recover their vitality.
However, it was impossible. This monster could sneak out from any corner of the rock wall to attack. If they dared to meditate, they would be burned to death.
Even leaning against the wall to rest for a while was impossible.
Now that Xu Chun was dead, the slow spell immediately failed. The bone figurine, which was originally staggering, changed to a brisk pace, bypassing the bound companions and rushing towards the crowd with a roar.
The next moment, the Jindu cub locked its target on Duan Xinyu and rushed straight at him.
It had been eyeing Duan Xinyu for a long time, and because of its richer combat experience, it had long seen that the man-eating vine was thrown by this guy. As long as he is killed, we can finish the work today.
Duan Xinyu's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth and persevered. His knife skills were dense and could keep water out, but now he was at the end of his strength. There were seven or eight holes on his body, and blood was gushing out. The knife was getting heavier and heavier in his hand. A thought suddenly echoed in his mind:
Give up, and get rid of it as soon as possible.
If you continue to resist, you will eventually die.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, his hands were slow. Jindu Gui seized the opportunity and scratched his neck with a claw, wanting to make him follow in Xu Chun's footsteps.
The willow branch stabbed back and hit Jindu Gui's back. It did not dodge, and was only focused on Duan Xinyu.
The door panel jumped out from the side, and the man and the shield hit its ribs, knocking it away.
Jindu Gui rolled into the rock wall.
Duan Xinyu panted: "You..."
Just these two words, he didn't know what to say after that.
He Lingchuan hurriedly adjusted his breathing and tried to recall the feeling of hitting the knife in the water of the Handan River. At that time, if you were to take Jilang as your opponent, you would also have to face such a war of attrition from all sides.
Conserving physical strength and fighting spirit is the first priority.
He said in a deep voice: "Be careful of your feet."
This cub likes to attack from underground, and it is very effective to poke the soles of people's feet.
As soon as the voice fell, it jumped out from the ground, aiming at Duan Xinyu's back, this time with a four-foot-long bone spear. Its sense of smell seems to be very sensitive, and it can accurately judge who has lost the will to fight.
A new batch of bone figurines have also arrived. Without Xu Chun's slowing spell, they jumped very fast and were about to reunite with their master.
He Lingchuan had already stood behind Duan Xinyu, and at this time he chopped with a knife, as if the Jindu ghost was sent up to him to cut a piece.
The spearhead was broken immediately, with half of the front paw, and the monster howled in pain.
The "Pojun" special effect actually appeared at this time, ignoring the bone armor defense and breaking the palm with one blow.
Something seems to be wrong?
He Lingchuan hesitated slightly.
Duan Xinyu also seized the opportunity and fought back, barely dodging the monster's two attacks.
The crowd still cooperated tenaciously, but their spirits were no longer lifted.
There is always a limit to human resilience.
They have been struggling for so long, but still can't see the dawn of hope.
How long can this dark battle last?
He Lingchuan suddenly said: "Liu Tiao, give it an ice arrow!"
Liu Tiao was startled: "There is only one left."
It's not that she cherishes the few taels of silver, but what's the point of using it at this time?
"Use!"
The captain said, and she shot without thinking.
Fortunately, she has solid basic skills, and she still did not lose her accuracy in this situation, and shot the monster running at high speed.
The Jindu cub was shot in the left arm, and the ice immediately spread from the wound to the whole body.
It had been shot before and had experience, so it didn't do anything else at this time, and quickly fell to the rock wall.
With the protection of its "mother", it can recover quickly.
Everyone knew that it was useless to cut it into several pieces at this time, because it would eventually recover - although it could not turn into several pieces like leeches.
Other cubs died after being beheaded, but this one was different.
The youngest one who was most favored by the ghost mother was indeed extraordinary.
