Kong Xue leaned tightly against me, I reached out to protect her, then turned to look at Shi Tao. Shi Tao also looked at me with a little nervousness, slowly raised his hand, touched the short knife around his waist, hesitated for a moment, but did not take it, but turned his hand to pull down the engineer shovel hanging on his backpack, and then slowly walked over.

I turned around and patted Kong Xue, signaling her not to move. Then I pulled out the short knife around my waist and followed Shi Tao.

We both carefully approached the stone carvings of a human face closest to us.

Although this incident does look very strange, fortunately, the danger brought by this phenomenon has not been seen yet. These human faces just turned their heads, and they can't open their mouths and spit at us!

Although these words of self-comfort are easy to say, we all know in our hearts that the builder must have his purpose in doing this. Changes in the stone carvings of human faces will inevitably lead to some situation. The people of Shan Huan in the past could not have just let these human faces give a tribute to the attention!

Shi Tao and I stared at the stone carvings in front of us, and were on guard. Although we didn't know what kind of threat this change could pose to us, we still didn't dare to relax at all!

We didn't pay attention when we passed by, but now we found that the human faces carved on the stone wall in the passage seem to be much more delicate than those carved on the stone wall outside, and the materials are also different. The material of the human face carving here seems to be a material similar to white marble. After the carving is carried out, it is inlaid on the walls on both sides of the passage.

I speculate that when inlaying, there must be a certain space for movement between the face and the wall, so it will move. But the key question is why it was designed like this at the beginning! If it was to resist the invader, this effect would not be great. At most, it would be scary. Unless the invader happens to have a bad heart, it will not be able to expel or kill!

At this moment, Shi Tao suddenly pointed to the carving of the human face and said, "Zhuo Ran, look!"

I looked at the position he pointed at and found that there seemed to be some black objects entering the inside of the face. Only then did we see that the material of the face actually showed a translucent state, and it could be seen that it was hollow inside, so under the illumination of the flashlight, we could see some situations inside.

The changes inside the human face made us a little nervous for a moment, not knowing whether this change is a blessing or a disaster, although it is unlikely to be a blessing!

We put our face closer and looked inside hard, and found that the black things inside seemed to move. Could it be that they were alive? Before we could think clearly, we found that there were more and more black inside the face, and gradually the originally milky white face turned almost completely dark gray at this time.

Not only the one in front of us, but all the stone carvings on the faces turned into this! Shi Tao and I looked at each other. Although we didn’t know what this meant, deep anxiety still emerged deep in our hearts!

The black inside the face is getting thicker and thicker, and it looks constantly increasing.

I suddenly thought of a question. When we just entered here, we found a piece of hiking rope on the iron chain at the entrance, which shows that someone had just passed by here not long ago, and I can almost conclude that most of them were the Tang family's team, and they also passed this passage. Why didn't they trigger the mechanism of stone carvings of human faces? Because when we came in, human faces were rolling their eyes in the initial state.

Why is this? Are these stone carvings of human faces really just to scare people, and they turn black and then turn back? Then this mechanism is too crazy!

No, the Tang family must have known the situation much more detailed than we do. They must have taken some measures to avoid this situation. And if so, since the Tang family members are trying their best to avoid this situation, it means that this change is dangerous and is likely to be very dangerous!

What exactly is the method? I had no idea for a moment. I used a flashlight to shine other carvings and found a problem. Although the black objects inside these faces were increasing, the picture in front of us increased the fastest. The black inside the stone carving of this face had increased so much that it was almost about to break!

I couldn't help but be stunned. Why did the stone carvings in front of us change faster? What is the difference between them and other human-faced stone carvings? I frowned and thought about this question. What is the difference? It's closer to us? It's unlikely.

I suddenly thought that it seemed that the location of the stone carving was brighter, and the two of us were almost shining on it. I quickly said to Shi Tao and Kong Xue behind me: "Turn off the flashlight!"

The two nodded and turned off the flashlight immediately. At the same time, I turned it off. In an instant, we fell into darkness. After a while, I suddenly turned on the flashlight and shone it at the position of the human face. Sure enough, I saw that the black inside the face had stopped moving, but after my flashlight shone, it quickly began to move again.

I knew in my heart that it was light, which caused the faces on both sides of the channel to change in this way, and it was light that guided something into its interior.

At this time, Shi Tao and Kong Xue, who were still unknown, turned on the flashlight again, and the strong light lit up again. I was also frightened to see that the black inside the human face expanded more rapidly, and it was about to break out of the wall. Although I don’t know what the black is, it will definitely not be a good thing!

I was shocked and shouted hurriedly: "Don't turn on the flashlight, hurry up! Turn it off!"

Shi Tao and Kong Xue looked very confused, but when they saw my expression, they did as soon as possible. All the flashlights turned off again, and darkness hit again.

We groped together and Kong Xue asked anxiously: "What happened?"

I roughly said a few words to them about what I saw with Shi Tao just now, as well as my own discoveries. In the darkness, Kong Xue's voice came, "What should we do?" I gently held her hand and found that her palm was covered with sweat.

Yes, what should we do? The monster in the water is forward, and the strange stone face is backward. We stayed in the middle but couldn't turn on the flashlight, but there was no light. In this extreme darkness, it was extremely difficult for us to return the same way!

I just hope that those faces can be strong enough and must not be broken. We will stay safely, or come up with a way to leave, or wait for Wenmo to come back to rescue. Maybe he will have a way. But when it comes to Wenmo, I feel a little angry. Where did this kid go again at the critical moment!

And at this moment, Murphy's Law once again confirmed its value of existence. If things are likely to go bad, no matter how small its chances are, it will always happen! In the darkness, I clearly heard a crisp cracking sound in my ears! I was shocked! Oh no!

At this time, I didn't care about anything to avoid, so I quickly turned on the flashlight. When I saw the stone carving of the human face just now, my heart suddenly felt cold. The stone face was broken, and black things inside were scattered all over the ground. When I looked at the black objects, my whole body felt numb and I suddenly had goose bumps.

I saw the ground covered with black beetles, each of which was about the size of a quail egg, and there were a lot of them scattered on the ground, and there were also many that kept coming out from the stone face!

I quickly retreated. Kong Xue was not the kind of girl who was afraid of insects, snakes, rats and ants, but when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but scream!

As the saying goes, good things are hard to match, bad things are easy to pair up. We are really in a state of misery and rain. The sound of stone faces breaking sounded again, "pa", "pa", "pa", "pa", and every broken sound sound sounded like the steps of death approaching us!

There were more and more beetles on the ground, just as black ink was spreading very quickly!

Kong Xue asked with a pale face: "This, what kind of bug is this?"

I gently stepped on one to death, and picked it up with a short knife and found that it was a black beetle, but there was a pair of large claws on its beak that did not match its body shape, and there was a very small white face pattern on its back.

I immediately knew that these were all the ferocious human-faced beetles we had seen on the edge of the river! But all the larvae here are. Could it be that this is their nest?

I was thinking, and suddenly felt a pain in my calf. I looked down and saw that it was a small human-faced beetle. At this time, its pair of big claws had already penetrated deeply. I didn't expect that such a small size would be so fierce! I waved my knife and chopped it down.

It seems that the aggressiveness of these beetles cannot be underestimated. Besides, there are so many people. Once they swarm, we will die immediately without a complete body!

Shi Tao swung the engineer shovel and slapped at the swarm of insects, but the results were very little. He killed more than a dozen of them with one shovel, and immediately dozens of them would rush over! The short sword in my hand had no room for use, and he felt a sense of helplessness of drawing a knife to cut off the water!

I took off my clothes and wrapped it on a short knife. I beat it left and right, and a large number of insects were beaten to death by Shi Tao or I was hit into the water. But compared to the uncountable number of beetles, this was a drop in the bucket! We could only fight and retreat and retreat to the edge of the water.

At this time, we were in a desperate situation, with murderous beetles in front and mysterious water monsters behind, and we were sandwiched in the middle. As the top existence of the food chain on the earth, it seems that we are destined to be the Chinese food of other species today!
