After all the officers and soldiers entered the Death Eye, Yuna stood at the entrance of the cave, looking through the dense branches, and glanced coldly at the sunset army that was rapidly advancing towards Love Mountain from the mountain road in the distance, then turned around and strode towards the cave. go.
"Your Highness, you must come back safely!" Behind her, an old man knelt down facing the eyes of death and whispered with tears streaming down his face.
"Yes!" Yuna turned back, leaving a touching smile.
The name of the Death Eye sounds scary, but in fact it is no different from an ordinary cave. In order to ensure the safety of Her Royal Highness, Heidemann sent scouts into the cave in advance to inquire about the situation. These scouts returned safely after going more than a hundred meters into the cave, and brought exciting news: there were no monsters or other dangerous places that the villagers were afraid of in the cave. Moreover, the cave had open terrain, good ventilation, and sufficient water. An excellent place for troops to temporarily hide.
After receiving this information, Yuna, after discussing with Heidemann and Mock, decided to lead her troops into the cave to hide temporarily for a few days. In order to prevent Sunset's army from following the traces in the mountains and chasing Death's Eye, Heidemann personally led a group of officers and soldiers eastward to a cliff, leaving the illusion of a hasty escape of the troops along the way. Later, with the help of the old man, Yuna led the officers and soldiers to climb up the mountainside of Love Mountain from a steep mountain wall with the help of ropes, and then walked through the dense forest to reach the Eye of Death.
"Your Highness, there is an open area in the cave ahead, which is enough to accommodate hundreds of us." Heideman walked over from the front and came to Yuna.
"Take me to see it." Yuna responded.
The two quickly arrived at the place Heideman said. The officers and soldiers are taking a temporary rest here.
Yuna was looking up and looking around when a cool breeze blew from nowhere. She felt a biting coldness, and suddenly felt a little creepy in her heart.
"I think we should go further in and choose a terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!" Yuna frowned, "We are going downhill all the way. If the enemy rushes from behind, it will be difficult for us to organize here. Effective defense.¡±
"Okay!" Heideman nodded.
"The troops continue to move forward!" He quickly gave the order.
"Third sister, why do I always feel uneasy when I walk in this cave?" Mok stopped. He let out a worried sigh as Yuna walked up to him. He has a delicate mind and a pure heart. Sensitive to subtle changes in the environment.
"I also feel a little weird in my heart. Maybe we are too tired these days. Suddenly entering such a relaxed environment, we feel a little uncomfortable." Yuna frowned.
"Maybe!" Mok smiled. Yuna's words actually confirmed his worries. She didn't want to say it out loud, just because she didn't want her worries to turn into reality.
Yuna walked forward silently. Mork's words. It made her feel extremely heavy. The name "Death Eyes". It doesn't come out of nowhere. At least it had swallowed up a few innocent lives before they arrived. And whether the calmness in front of him represents disaster or luck. Everything is unpredictable.
The officers and soldiers were moving forward quickly, and the light of the torches illuminated the narrow cave in front of them. No one noticed that the cave behind them gradually changed. The ground, cave walls, and cave roof were quietly soaked with a layer of blood.
¡°Ah¡± a moment later, a burst of frightened shouts suddenly came from the front.
Yuna and Mok¡¯s anxious hearts trembled suddenly, and their expressions suddenly changed drastically.
"Your Highnesses, something happened!" Heideman walked through the team and came to the two of them.
"What happened?" Yuna asked anxiously. She couldn't figure out what could happen to make the usually calm Heidemann so panicked.
"There was a sudden change in the cave in front of us. We were like" Heideman thought of the horrific scene he just saw and couldn't help but shuddered in his heart.
"What's it like?" Mok asked softly.
"I feel like we've walked into something's belly." Heideman's face turned pale.
Under the light of the fire, the cave more than ten meters in front turned out to be bloody. Yuna and Mok walked up to the team and took a closer look. They couldn't help but feel the urge to vomit, and they felt even more frightened.
Where is there a cave in front of me?
This is clearly a flesh and blood passageway made of countless giant organs! What's even more terrifying is that these bloody things are actually alive. At the top of the cave, the blood-red heart was beating non-stop, making a banging sound. Every sound made the scalp explode, and every contraction spurted out a lot of red liquid that looked like blood. Around the cave wall, intestines of all sizes were squirming disgustingly, and after each squirm, there were red and red??, the sticky y¨¨ti was holding the silk thread and dripping to the ground. besides
A soldier seemed to be frightened by the horrific scene in front of him, and his body shook uncontrollably. He hurriedly put his hands on the stone wall beside him. There was a slippery, cold feeling at the beginning of the hand, and when I turned around, I saw that my hand was already covered in blood.
"The cave is bleeding!" His face turned pale, he exclaimed, and his whole body fell into madness.
With his exclamation, the people looking around were all frightened by the changes around them. The walls, ceiling, and ground of the cave were constantly leaking blood. A disgusting smell of blood and death filled every corner of the cave, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
Soon, someone fell to the ground in panic and slid towards the flesh and blood passage in the distance. Because the ground was too slippery, several people who reached out to pull him were also pulled to the ground and turned into rolling gourds, sliding towards the passage one by one.
Like bowling, more and more people were tripped wherever they passed. The frightened officers and soldiers suddenly became a mess, and more and more people slipped into the flesh and blood channel.
"Withdraw, Your Highness!" Heidemann sighed sadly. The road ahead looks so dangerous that even calling it hell is not an exaggeration. In such a short period of time, many soldiers were lost. If they continued to advance, it would be difficult for everyone to survive.
"Give me my order and all slide down the cave!" Yuna looked at the officers and soldiers disappearing into the depths of the cave of flesh and blood, gritted her teeth and said with an expression of absolute despair.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, as long as my life does not end, I will not give up on my comrades, those brothers who I can safely entrust my back to on the battlefield! This is what Link once said when chatting with her. Now, her soldiers were in danger, their lives unknown, and she was unwilling to leave them behind. Maybe moving forward is a dead end, but being able to die together is also a blessing!
This decision has nothing to do with reason, nor do you need to care about the final outcome. It is the call of inner emotion!
"Your Highness!" Heidemann called softly.
"Execute the order!" Yuna said solemnly.
Heideman let out a long sigh and shouted at the officers and soldiers: "Go ahead at full speed!"
"General Heideman, look at the road behind you. It's all up a steep slope. Is it possible for us to exit?" Mock's bitter laughter sounded behind Heideman.
The latter looked back and saw that the cave behind him was already dripping with blood.
¡°It¡¯s a scary name for a broken cave!¡± Nance said disdainfully as he walked and tapped on the cave wall.
"Can you please stop knocking? It makes people upset! I'll knock the God of Death later and open his eyes, so that you kid can't eat and walk around." Torre gave him a sideways look. When he is in an unfamiliar environment, he likes silence, which helps him respond quickly to various unexpected changes.
"The theory of gods and demons often stems from people's ignorance and fear of mysterious powers. Because no matter how powerful a person is, compared with the mysterious powers in nature, there is a gap between a drop of water and the sea." Link said with a smile.
"Torre, did you hear what the leader said? In this hole, at most there will be some power that the villagers don't know about. There is also the eye of the God of Death. If the God of Death dares to come, I will dig out its eyes!" Nance laughed and cursed. , picked up the knife and stabbed the wall several times.
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Link sighed, "What I want to say is that because we don't understand these powers, people who are in awe of the gods and demons tend to live longer."
Nance¡¯s expression changed slightly and he took back the knife in embarrassment.
"It bled when you poked it!" Torre said with a trembling voice, looking at the stone wall where the knife had poked.
"Just scare me, damn!" Nance said, turning his head to look.
On the stone wall, blood bubbles were bubbling out of a fresh hole.
Nance¡¯s body froze, his mouth suddenly opened and closed, and his expression was full of panic.
"It's really bleeding! Damn it, you can't be so evil!" He swallowed hard and said fearfully.
Link walked forward in surprise, took a closer look, stretched out his hand to wipe some blood bubbles, and brought it to his nose.
"Cinnabar, a kind of pigment." He said lightly.
"Boss, there is blood everywhere in the cave ahead." A team member ran over quickly and reported loudly.
"What bird's blood? It's cinnabar, a kind of pigment!" Nance threw away what Link had just said angrily.
"But everyone smells the smell of blood!" the team members said.
"Everywhere?" Link couldn't help but frown.
"Yes. It seems that the further you go in, the more things are leached out and your feet become slippery." The team member continued.
"Okay, here's the order for everyone to stay where they are. Let's go over and take a look." Link said.
Soon, Link and others arrived at the front of the team.
"There is indeed a smell of blood, but it's just in the air. These bright red y¨¨ti are still cinnabar." Looking over, Link made his own judgment.
"It still looks scary!" Nance thought of the few pieces he had chopped, and felt a little uneasy.
"There was blood along the way. Yuna and the others should be quite frightened." Link said with a bitter smile. Being in such a cave will affect people's thinking and judgment. If the cinnabar is paired with the smell of blood, no one will believe it if it is not blood.
Is this a natural phenomenon or man-made? Link couldn't help but be filled with doubts. (To be continued.)
