Chapter 299 The Person in the Cocoon

In two of those huge cocoons, blood was dripping down.

They seemed to be breathing, and their skin tightened and relaxed, as if they were alive.

Zheng Xun looked at the two cocoons and then observed the surrounding terrain.

They were still inside the Sijiang Building, but without the filter brought by the illusion, the place looked increasingly dilapidated. The neatly arranged floor tiles have long since become unrecognizable, and the walls are moldy and mottled like poisoned skin.

Grass seeds and tree seeds were carried through the door by the wind and took root in the corner.

Some of them grew surprisingly tall, growing on the ground on the first floor and reaching up to the second floor.

I don’t know what I ate, but it was nutritious.

Countless vines cling to the thick tree roots, sucking the life out of the tree and robbing the living space.

Insects with black shells, as big as a palm, dart between the leaves.

It was a completely dilapidated scene.

On the ceiling of the first floor, branches and spider webs intersect to form irregular grids.

Below those grids are hanging moth cocoons.

There was the sound of insects flapping their wings in the darkness, and a dark shadow flew past and landed on one of the cocoons.

The slender mouthpart is like a needle, piercing the thin cocoon skin and constantly sucking the juice inside.

The turbid sap drips and is quickly eaten by reptiles on the ground.

Shen Guanyu walked under a cocoon.

A small part of it was broken, and a large amount of juice gushed out from the crack, attracting many reptiles to suck it.

When Shen Guanyu approached, those insects had already formed a large pool on the ground, and they were reluctant to leave even when people approached.

He raised his head, took two steps to the right, and adjusted his position slightly.

Just right at the crack.

Something was vaguely stuffed into the crack, and it was too dark to see clearly.

Shen Guanyu took off the bracelet, turned on the flashlight mode, and illuminated that place.

A face that has been corroded beyond recognition, and the expression of pain before death can be vaguely recognized.

Probably the players who entered Sijiang Building before.

Shen Guanyu couldn't help but think that if Zheng Xun hadn't put aside all his worries and broke through the illusion in front of him, I'm afraid the four of them would have ended up like this.

He turned around to look for Zheng Xun, but the place where the person used to be was now empty.

...?

At this time, Zheng Xun had already made his next move. He walked to the side of the tree, stretched out his hand and shook it twice.

It's okay, pretty solid.

He stepped on the tree trunk, and using the force, he simultaneously released the hatchet and threw it away.

The sharp blade immediately cut off the two closest cocoons, and the cocoons fell, making a moderate sound on the ground.

Zheng Xun jumped down from the tree, picked up the hatchet, and made a light scratch against the surface of the cocoon.

As the blade moved downward, the person wrapped inside was also exposed.

"It's Captain Song..."

Meng Lian relied on his memory to identify the other party's identity from the details. Most of the skin of the corpse had disappeared or fallen off, leaving only the festering flesh and stark white bones.

This is the dead Song Yao. It is self-evident who the one next to him is.

Shen Guanyu took a few steps forward, half-crouched, and took out a dagger from the cloud space.

The dagger was sharp and cut open the cocoon, and it turned out to be Pei Minghuan's face.

He died later than Song Yao, and the degree of corrosion was not that deep, so his identity was easily identified.

After Shen Yuan's death, Shen Guanyu was kicked out from the position of captain of the first team. Pei Minghuan was his team member before, but he suppressed the former team leader in every possible way.

Crowding his living space and coveting his weapons.

But now, the man has turned into a corpse.

Those eyes would never cast a malicious look again, nor would any offensive words come out of his mouth.

People disappear without a trace, just like a blackboard full of words, time will erase all traces on it.

Life is like a light feather, death is like a feather, and it is far away in a blink of an eye.

Facing the death of his former teammate, Shen Guanyu asked himself, will he feel relieved and sad?

…

Won't.

Pei Minghuan deserves to die.

Even if he doesn't die in the boss's hands, he will fall into his own hands.

Shen Guanyu lowered his eyes, his face was stern, and his mouth was tightened.

He stared at Pei Minghuan's dead body for a moment before raising his head.

Inadvertently, he met Zheng Xun's eyes.

Zheng Xun was looking at him for who knows how long.

"...Brother Xun?"

Shen Guanyu has returned to his introverted and reserved demeanor. After such a long period of torture, he can be regarded as relaxed and relaxed.

Sometimes even he himself doubts whether he will have a split personality in the long run.

Zheng Xun lowered his head again and dug Song Yao's body out of the cocoon.

There is actually no point in doing this. Even if he dies, he won't feel any pain, and the dungeon ends. Soon, he will disappear together with the moths in Siji Mansion.

But Zheng Xun still freed him from his bondage.

The mucus was corrosive, so Zheng Xun didn't get started directly, and the hatchet was inconvenient.

He took out a short knife from the cloud space. His movements were neat but careful, and he did not damage the body at all.

Huo Ziyan and Meng Lian were not far away, seemingly discussing something. They were the only two here now.

Zheng Xun didn't look at Shen Guanyu, but he spoke to him.

"The road is difficult to walk at night, so we must hurry up."

Shen Guanyu initially thought that Zheng Xun wanted him, and if he wanted to do bad things, he should hurry up and don't delay.

It took him a long time to understand that Zheng Xun knew that he was not qualified to persuade people to forgive, but hoped that he could walk into the sunshine as soon as possible and live the rest of his life openly.

When Lin Yisheng got into trouble, Zheng Xun, as a witness, might have discovered something at that time.

Zheng Xun has always been sharp.

Shen Guanyu used the dagger in his hand to help him.

The two did not look at each other, and Shen Guanyu replied to Zheng Xun's words.

"The road is long, and we have to go a little further."

Zheng Xun heard this and did not continue the topic, but turned to look for Huo Ziyan.

"Xiao Huo? Xiao Huo! Where?"

"Here."

Huo Ziyan's voice came over, a little far away.

Zheng Xun stepped up his action, pulled Song Yao out, and ran to find Huo Ziyan.

"Where, where?"

He ran for a while before he found the figures of the two.

Meng Lian and Huo Ziyan were also fiddling with a cocoon.

"What are you doing? Do you want to try this cocoon?"

"Uh, Zheng Xun..."

Meng Lian couldn't respond to this. Xiao Huo was completely used to it and ignored his explosive remarks.

He wiped the mucus off his hands with a clean towel, and then wiped the face and arms of the moth feed that fell out of the cocoon.

"Zheng Xun, we found Lin Yisheng. And... he's still alive."

"Still alive? He's really lucky."

Zheng Xun squatted down in front of Xiao Huo and took a closer look. It was true.

This man went crazy in the middle of the journey and ran away nervously. Zheng Xun thought he was in danger, but he didn't expect him to survive.

"But he fainted and was seriously injured," Meng Lian had learned a lot from the team before, and she had simply treated Lin Yisheng's wounds. "We still have to get him out of the dungeon as soon as possible."

"Yeah," Zheng Xun nodded and agreed, "But why hasn't this dungeon been announced yet?"
