In the deep and quiet sewer, Ling Mo and Xu Shuhan clung tightly to the corner, looking ahead nervously. In just a few seconds, all the sounds around them seemed to be magnified. The sound of bubbles coming from the mud under their feet, the vague sound of water dripping in the distance, and even some subtle sounds of unknown origin … At this moment, a particularly clear sound suddenly came from the darkness —
"Pata!"
Xu Shuhan was startled for a moment, then she raised her eyelids and looked up. Although she couldn't see Ling Mo's expression from this angle, she could feel that Ling Mo's slight breath was on top of her head. At the same time, his arm seemed to have tightened a little, causing his palm to stick tightly to her lips.
"It's surprisingly warm, and I can feel the flow of blood through my skin … So close, I can hear his heartbeat behind me … Is the human body temperature so high?" Xu Shuhan involuntarily began to let her imagination run wild, but she quickly pulled herself back from the delusion …
"No, no! It doesn't matter if it's biting or licking! Calm down! " Xu Shuhan pursed her lips, her chest kept heaving up and down, and her eyes also glanced in the direction of the sound. "What the hell is it! If it doesn't show up, I can't hold it anymore! "
Ling Mo, who was staring at the darkness, apparently didn't notice her change. As the "pata" sound appeared again, he quietly pressed Xu Shuhan's shoulder, and then squatted down with her on the ground.
"Huh …"
At first, she thought that Ling Mo wanted to hide. But this sewer was simply a straight line, and there seemed to be no place for him to hide in front or behind. Even if he squatted down, it would at most make him a smaller target, and he wouldn't completely hide himself. But after squatting down, Xu Shuhan awkwardly found that her thoughts were a little too straightforward …
Ling Mo's breathing gradually became even, and then she keenly felt that there seemed to be an extremely weak energy fluctuation around her. When she looked at the ground, she found that Ling Mo's finger was suspended in the air above the mud.
"So he's trying to secretly scout ahead … Is he using the mud as a cover? But in this way, the difficulty of detection should increase a lot, right? " Xu Shuhan thought for a moment and took a deep breath. "The closer we are to the ground, the clearer the sounds I can hear …"
"Patter …"
The frequency of the sound was very slow, but the volume was rising very quickly. At first, it was like the chirping of insects, but after a few steps, it sounded like something had stepped heavily into the mud. Just by listening to the voice, he knew that no matter who it was, it was definitely not Yuwen Xuan.
What about Yuwen Xuan? He was supposed to be walking in front of them, but now there was a "thing" coming from the direction where he disappeared... Did he encounter this "thing"? If he did, then what was his current situation?
Xu Shuhan frowned, but she couldn't ask anything at this time. From Ling Mo's reaction, he seemed to be very calm, but after a long time, she felt that Ling Mo's palm seemed to be hotter than before...
Ling Mo held his breath and waited quietly... The tentacle was hidden less than 30 meters away from them. As long as the other party walked to that position, he could immediately launch an attack according to the situation. But in fact, for zombies or humanoid monsters, 30 meters was enough to see the scene in front of them. But in the case that they maintained a crouching position, the other party's reaction would definitely be slower than Xu Shuhan's, this was decided by the difference in perspective.
"Come on …." Ling Mo adjusted his mental state and stared at that place ….
"Patter …"
The sound quickly approached within a range of tens of meters. In such a quiet environment, the sound seemed to directly ring in the ears of Ling Mo and Lin Sanjiu. He even had a feeling that the sound came from behind... The depressing and gloomy environment would always affect people's judgment. In fact, this was also one of the biggest weaknesses of humans...
"Patter!"
At this time, the sound suddenly stopped.
"Why did it stop moving!" Ling Mo's pupils shrank.
He could feel that the other party was standing in the darkness, looking at them from a distance of about 40 meters. And his tentacle was waiting ten meters away from the other party. But at this time, the other party stopped moving.
Did it discover them?
"No … if it didn't know in advance that someone was here, it would not be able to notice this corner so quickly. The air in the sewers is so turbid, the visibility isn't that high …. And if I'm discovered, it should rush over and attack …. Why is it doing this …. "Ling Mo's mind went through countless thoughts in the blink of an eye, then he clenched his teeth, suddenly let go and stood up.
And at the moment when he stood up, something suddenly happened!
"Patter patter!"
The sound suddenly changed direction, going back along the original path!
"F * ck!"
Ling Mo was dumbfounded … .This was teasing him! He hadn't done anything yet! This guy's crisis response was too strong!
Xu Shuhan was also a little dumbfounded, what was this situation? Only heard the sound but not the person? At least show his face!
"Should we chase?" Xu Shuhan looked up and asked. She also knew that this question was a bit redundant, whether they chase or not, they have to go in this direction …
Ling Mo gritted his teeth and nodded, "Chase!"
First, Xia Na and the zombie puppet were led down, then Yuwen Xuan, and finally him and Xu Shuhan … "I want to see what the hell is playing tricks!" Ling Mo whispered angrily.
"Playing tricks …" Xu Shuhan was a little worried, but she thought about it and still didn't say anything, but silently raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth.
"What's wrong with you?" Ling Mo glanced at her and asked casually.
You finally noticed it this time!
Xu Shuhan was speechless for a moment … it was rare to have a sense of existence, but why couldn't she be happy at all!
"Nothing …" Should I tell you, I'm wiping my saliva!
"Then hurry up." Fortunately, Ling Mo didn't ask much, he twisted his neck, and then sped up to chase the sound.
Xu Shuhan followed closely, but her eyes slowly became a little complicated.
"What the hell is down here? And those monsters, where did they come from, and how did they survive here … "The continuous" patter "sound in front of them covered the sound of both of them running, but feeling their feet constantly stepping on the mud, Xu Shuhan's feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense …
