Blood of Mercury

An Ruosi followed behind Esther, walking slowly in the corridor without any light source.

He didn't know where this place was. The two of them have been walking here for five or six minutes since Esther brought him in.

Because of the experience of this adventure, An Ruosi did not relax his vigilance because of the safety of this period, but carefully felt everything around him, lest he suddenly stretch out a dry hand in the dark world. of.

The magic power he derived from his body was condensed at his fingertips, ready to go.

It is true that in this case, An Ruosi's magic power will gradually drain over time at a slow speed. But at least this is much better than not having time to mobilize the magic after something happened.

This is also the spell-casting skills that Captain Macon taught him after he separated from Roland and the others.

In a nervous mood, An Ruosi followed Aster carefully.

Almost every step he took was stamped with Esther's footprints.

An Ruosi could hear the sound of the water pattering under his feet in the dark corridor, echoing lonely.

The stench in the air was thick and thick, and it was sucked into the lungs through the trachea, and you could even feel something slippery rolling in your throat.

An Ruosi even suspected that his bare skin had been coated with a layer of film at this moment.

In this strange environment, An Ruosi didn't even dare to speak—

It was too quiet around. An Ruosi even had the illusion that the two of them were walking in the esophagus of the giant beast.

He took two steps and grabbed Esther's sleeve. I wanted to make Esther's footsteps a little slower.

But unexpectedly, Esther ignored him. Instead, he walked faster.

A huge force came from Esther's sleeve, and suddenly pulled An Ruosi forward, and he almost staggered.

I always felt as if I had overlooked something. The rapidly fermenting anxiety made An Ruosi's heart beat faster.

He could even feel a violent roar in his chest now. Not only the heart, but An Ruosi could even clearly hear the pulsation of the blood vessels on the neck and wrist.

The whole world is as quiet as an illusion.

An Ruosi's eyes trembled nervously. Looking around nervously.

His Adam's apple slid up and down, swallowing heavily.

An Ruosi finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He stretched out his hand to grab Esther's sleeve again, and said hurriedly: "Wait, wait, Ai..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet. I suddenly felt a shudder.

——Because the right hand that An Ruosi stretched out did not touch the texture of the fabric before.

Where his right hand touched, there was something slippery and sticky. That slippery, icy feel is reminiscent of aquatic products, feces, or rotting guts.

An Ruosi was taken aback, and conditioned reflexively threw out what he was holding.

But in that moment. An Ruosi suddenly realized what was wrong—

...Why, before, only when you took every step, there would be the sound of water on the ground?

An Ruosi suddenly held his breath. His heartbeat became more and more intense, and he even faintly felt a blank space in his brain caused by lack of oxygen. The scene in front of me also began to bloom.

But it doesn't matter. Can't see anything anyway...

There is no light source around, it is really too dim.

An Ruosi could only see a faint shadow in front of him.

Now he suddenly began to suspect that he had been following. Is it Esther?

Moreover, why is there no light source, but I can see the footprints on the ground?

Don't look down-

Such an alarm sounded frantically in An Ruosi's heart.

But because of this, he lowered his head subconsciously.

Suddenly, An Ruosi almost fainted.

I don't know when it started, the footprints under An Ruosi's feet have become wet marks three times the size of an adult's sole.

——But, it is indeed the traces of human feet.

But a human foot would never be this big—

An Ruosi raised her head in panic, but found a half-rotted head with a very strange smile hanging in front of her eyes. The nose with the rotten head was not even more than three centimeters from An Ruosi's cheek.

Being so close, the rotten smell even rushed into An Ruosi's nose.

An Ruosi's pupils instantly shrank to the limit.

There was a rattling deep in his throat. The body instinctively wanted to escape, but the place below the knee seemed to be embedded in place.

Accidentally, he fell to the ground.

With a "pop" sound, the sound of sticky water sounded crisply.

It wasn't some deep water mark. To say, only about a finger deep. But An Ruosi was almost completely soaked at the moment.

His eyes have become hollow.

An Ruosi dumbfoundedly raised her hands, which were submerged in water, to her eyes.

Strange to say. The surroundings should have been extremely dark and without any light source - but at this moment, An Ruosi could see his hands extremely clearly.

It was full of viscous bright red.

is blood--

An Ruosi instinctively made a judgment. While he made his judgment, the blood on the entire floor came into An Ruosi's sight. It made his eyes turn blood red.

Yes, the blood was only a finger's width - but what if you count the five minutes you've been on?

An Ruosi's heart was beating desperately, but he still couldn't breathe.

The world in front of you has begun to be gradually pulled away.

at this time. He heard the sound of ticking water coming from his ears.

- Don't look up.

- Don't look up.

- Don't look up.

- Don't look up!

His reason desperately warned himself. But An Ruosi's neck seemed to be being manipulated, making a dry creaking sound and lifting it one by one.

——It’s Esther’s corpse.

No, not so much a corpse. Rather, it's corpse.

No legs, no forearms. His remaining limbs were tattered, full of scars from squeezing and twisting.

Now it seems that the half-rotted head is the most complete part of the body.

His surviving torso looks like a cross. Seven or eight thin black threads hung down from the sky, tying Esther's body from every angle. Hanging in the air like a pendulum, it slowly swings left and right.

Dark red blood seeped out from the place where the black line was tightened, and tickled onto the water with a special sense of rhythm.

at this time. A soft laughter came from his ears, and something warm and smooth wrapped the top of his head and slowly swallowed it down.

Like something was about to swallow him whole.

"Ahhhhhhhhh-"

An Ruosi finally collapsed.

The magic power in his body burst out, and a violent hurricane rolled up.

But at the same time, the excessive use of magic power also suddenly burst the skin of his whole body. At that moment, An Ruosi seemed to have turned into a **** man.

His actions set off a prelude to the mutation.

The blood on the ground, the surrounding walls, and the corpse behind him all moved in that instant. And An Ruosi has no magic power in his body at this moment.

Without hesitation, he dragged his weak legs and ran back desperately.

But soon, a thick wall formed entirely of steel chains tightly wound appeared in front of him.

At a cursory glance, he even thought it was a mechanical wall formed by countless sawtooths.

But An Ruosi showed an excited look, and her footsteps were a little faster—

There is a way……

Although his blank brain had not yet thought of a specific solution, his body instinctively told him that the "chain", an object with binding meaning, could be easily broken by himself.

Absolutely crushable—

An Ruosi ran towards the dead end, but there was a light of life in his eyes.

Absolutely can't die-

At the last moment, An Ruosi's chaotic brain finally remembered the secret technique that Esther had taught him.

"Bastard ah ah ah ah ah-"

He howled hysterically and stretched his right hand forward.

The moment he was touched by his hand, countless chains of steel shattered. Light poured in from outside.

……what.

Finally, I was saved.

An Ruosi smiled reluctantly, fell into the soft and fragrant light, and lost consciousness.

——————

"...Good boy, thank you for your hard work."

Esther accurately hugged An Ruosi, who fell unconscious, and a trace of apology appeared on his long-lost smile.

He gently placed An Ruosi on the ground ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and covered him with his coat.

Beside Esther, the ground was full of broken chain fragments.

However, these chains were completely different from what An Ruosi had seen in the illusion before.

Their texture is platinum, with an inexplicably beautiful arc, and they are covered with extremely fine Celestial language inscriptions.

It was a holy chain that someone who had never seen it would never have imagined.

In the center of the room, someone who had been bound in mid-air by countless chains fell to the ground, but woke up and opened his eyes.

"Ah, my friend, long time no see."

Esther lowered his head and showed a truly gentle smile.

"...Ah, my friend, long time no see."

Someone who was stunned on the ground raised his head, and a hoarse voice came. (To be continued.)
