Bone Sculptor
Chapter 33
After the soldiers assembled, they reported the results of their investigations. As Wayne and others said, this is a closed space, and there is nothing else except the scattered animal bones.
Milos ordered someone to fire several shots at a point on the soft wall, which could penetrate more than ten meters, but if the shot stopped, the hole would be closed again.
"We have tried this method a long time ago." Wayne said weakly. "It is roughly estimated that these cave walls are about sixty or seventy meters thick, and they are located underground. Our only way out is to open an upward channel. This is the only way out. The distance between the channels is the shortest."
Everyone looked up and found that above four or five meters, there was a wall that was more than thirty meters long and could be closed continuously. Unless there were high-energy guns, it would be impossible to make a passage with their current equipment.
"This should not be a cave, but a special creature." A soldier next to Milos suddenly said, "I have tested the walls of these caves. It looks like a certain kind of cell tissue with super regenerative ability. The characteristics of primitive sea cucumbers are somewhat similar."
"You mean," the other soldier said with a blue face, "we are currently in the body of some kind of creature?"
The soldier nodded reluctantly.
"That's not right." Someone retorted, "If it is a living thing, then it should swallow us into our stomachs for digestion and absorption. This process requires substances such as gastric juice, but at present, it seems that nothing has been discovered, otherwise Major Wayne. They can't live well until now."
Everyone looked at Wayne and the others, but saw that their faces were pale, their lips were chapped, and there were faint spots on their skin, which looked no different from zombies. If it is not certain that they are still alive, everyone almost thinks that they are corpses appearing on their bodies. In this way, it can't be called "good".
"Cough cough." A soldier behind Wayne coughed violently, then spit out a mouthful of blood.
Wayne quickly supported him and patted him on the back. After a while, he raised his head and smiled bitterly at Milos: "Although I don't know the reason, I think we are being digested."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone felt a little creepy.
An Yi didn't have any sense of fear. While observing the surroundings, she tried to communicate with this creature using consciousness. However, after several minutes, no response was received. Just when An Yi was about to give up, there was a sudden "uh" in her consciousness, like the old man's sigh, deep and long.
Huh? Really a creature?
【Hello? ] An Yi greeted tentatively.
【Well. ] Another long sigh.
[I’m An Yi, I’m here for the first time, so please advise me a lot. 】
[...] There was no response for a long time this time.
An Yi faintly felt that this guy seemed to be struggling to understand the meaning of her words.
However, after waiting for a long time, there is no more information.
【How are you? Ann asked again.
After a period of silence, the surrounding soft walls squirmed suddenly, as if chewing, frightening the unprepared people and staggering, raising their weapons one after another, looking around nervously.
"What's the matter?" Wayne asked in amazement. "We have been here for three days and this has not happened."
Milos unconsciously looked towards An Yi, who quickly looked up at the sky, pretending to be studying a way out.
The peristalsis lasted only ten seconds, but everyone felt scalp numb and the sense of crisis increased. They looked at Milos together, but saw that the latter was staring at a pile of animal bones not far away. The pile of bones was being swallowed up by the soft wall until it disappeared from the surface.
Milos knelt down and touched the soft wall under his feet.
After a while, he got up and said to everyone: "This is a creature. If the place where we fell is its esophagus." He touched the ground with his feet and asked, "Then, what do you think will be below?"
"Anus-gate!" a soldier replied loudly.
Everyone else looked at him. He blushed when he was seen, and he changed his mouth in a low voice: "Excretion...excretion?"
Wouldn't it make people happy even to change the term?
"I think," Milos said calmly, "there may be our hope of escape below."
Wayne asked hesitantly: "There is a layer of mud and rock below. Even if we can penetrate the body of this creature, how can we climb up from the ground?"
"We have oxygen supply equipment, which can last for at least three days, enough for us to carve a channel from the ground to the ground."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, a glimmer of light flashed in their eyes, igniting hope.
An Yi patted the soft wall and asked casually: [Friend, are you underneath the **** door? 】
【Well. ] What is "anal-gate"?
[If it is really □□, then my friend, do you mind expelling us like exhaust gas? 】
【Well. It understands excretion, but it does not excrete unless it eats everything that should be eaten.
You are really a good creature that doesn't waste...
At this time, Milos was about to measure the thickness of the lower layer of the body wall, and suddenly felt another squirming under his feet, and then saw An Yi's body sinking not far away, sinking into the flesh-wall.
"Be careful!" Milos rushed over, trying to hold her hand, but took a step slower, and could only watch her being swallowed.
"Andasuka!" The soldiers gathered around, staring at the place where "he" disappeared.
Milos only felt his heart tighten, a flash of coldness flashed in his eyes, and an unquenchable irritability suddenly surged.
With a "plop", An Yi fell straight into a river, splashing countless water.
[Say good, no excretion! An Yi got out of the river and stared up at the top.
【Well. 】Waste residue can be discharged.
[...] She was speechless.
An Yi climbed onto a raised rock and looked around. This is obviously an underground river, about 30 to 40 meters wide, with gentle water flow, dim light, and sometimes cold winds. Swallowing them into a single creature is just above the dark river. From the surface, it is completely invisible that it is a creature. Its skin and rock have the same color, and its body is integrated with the soil layer.
An also decided to name it "The Devouring Beast".
It seems that Milos's method is feasible. They don't even need to dig an underground passage to get out of trouble.
An Yi quickly passed Wangwang and explained the following situation to Milos.
Swallowing the beast's body, Milos stood upright on the spot, clenched his fists, and a touch of hostility appeared from his golden pupils, turning a deaf ear to the anxious cry of the soldiers around him. For a long time, he has only regarded An Yi as a unique partner and a strange creature, but the moment he saw her disappear just now, the panic in his heart was not an illusion. Before he knew it, he had regarded the other party as a partner and didn't want her to be harmed.
He was so relieved of her, he thought she was absolutely safe on this planet, but he didn't expect that she would also be in danger.
Milos squinted. No, she must be fine. That guy looks like a long life!
Milos took out his weapon and suddenly felt the Skeleton Rat in his pocket move a few times. Looking down, he saw a card handed out from his pocket, and it said: Below is a dark river.
really. The corners of Milos's mouth rose slightly, and the hostility in his body was swept away in an instant.
The surrounding soldiers looked at their major general with horror. The horrible smile on his face was actually caused by the twitching of his facial muscles?
"An is okay." Milos said lightly to everyone, "She just told me that there is a dark river below."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and the color of surprise flashed across their faces. Then he became confused again. Major General Milos hadn't checked the message just now. How did he contact Andrasuka?
Many soldiers subconsciously turned on their personal terminals, only to find that the signal was intermittent and could not be connected at all.
Are the personal terminals of Major General Milos and Andasuka exceptionally high-profile? Or do they actually possess the legendary telepathy? !
There is jq, there is definitely jq!
"What are you in a daze?" Milos said coldly, "Hurry up and make a hole."
Several soldiers hurriedly took out the most penetrating energy gun, fired at a point, shot a hole, and quickly dropped a miniature blasting bomb.
After hearing a muffled sound, the underground-body wall was blown into a gap with a radius of about forty centimeters. A cold wind blew in from the gap and made a whistling sound.
Everyone was overjoyed, knowing that it had been broken through.
"Major Wayne, your people go first, hurry up!" Milos ordered.
Wayne didn't waste time either, taking the soldiers, jumping from the gap one by one. The gap is closed little by little, and shrinks a circle every time it goes down.
Milos stayed at the end. After all the soldiers jumped out, the gap could no longer pass through a person.
"Major General Milos!" The soldiers in the river stared up anxiously, shouting loudly.
Seeing that the gap was about to be completely closed, a figure suddenly sprang out of the water. While climbing the rock wall, it raised its hand and threw an object toward the closed place. Between the collisions, white light flashed.
Everyone closed their eyes subconsciously, and then heard a crisp sound coming from their ears. When they opened their eyes again, they saw another gap above the gap, and there were continuous debris falling around the gap. Milos jumped out of the gap and climbed steadily on the rock wall, staring at An Yi who was lying not far away.
I don't know what this guy did just now, making the thick body wall very brittle, and he shot a gap for one person to pass through. Although the body wall is only six or seven meters thick, it is surprising enough.
Forget it, this guy's secret is more than this one? As long as she is okay. A gentle smile flashed in Milos's eyes. Seeing her at this moment, she felt that all parts of her body were very smelly.
An Yi was stunned by his laugh. I have never seen him so "friendly" before. There is no conspiracy, right? She shook her bones, jumped, jumped into the dark river, and instantly sank out of sight.
[Brittle] Word Jue—The material is brittle for three seconds, and if no other damage is taken during the three seconds, it will be restored without damage.
