C129 (1/2)
At this time, the old Daoist called out, ”Gongnan, wait!” After saying that, he quickly stuffed his forefinger into the entrance.
I raised my head to look at the old Daoist and scolded him, ”Are you trying to stop me as well? Are you even my friend?! ”
The old Daoist lightly said, ”I don't want to stop you. I just want to remind you that when encountering danger, don't always think of running away. You must face it bravely. Remember, you are someone with ability.” As he spoke, the old Daoist pulled his finger out from the entrance of the tree hole and then looked at me. He poked me lightly in the stomach with his finger.
I looked into the old Daoist's eyes and was stunned for a moment. Then, I said, ”Thank you.” With that, I ran inside.
When the wolf saw that I had gone in, he ran after me.
Soon, the two of us disappeared into the darkness.
It was very dark inside the tree hollow. It was pitch black, as if the tree was filled with ink.
We began to slow down, moving slowly, step by step. The silence was oppressive, as if one was walking in deep water, one could feel a pressure coming from the outside, a pressure that made it hard to breathe.
The footsteps were clear and sharp, and the breathing became rapid and clear with the tension. The silence around me, like a megaphone, increased all sounds by a few hundred times, and now the sound that came to my ears was like the sound of the engine of an old car in disrepair. It was rough, rapid, unpleasant, and with some sort of irritation.
At this moment, there was a sudden ”Tick Tock” in front of us. Both Sea Wolf and I trembled in fear. We looked at each other for a moment before regaining our wits and began to walk forward cautiously.
In my heart, I constantly reminded myself that no matter what I encountered, I shouldn't be afraid. As long as I had enough courage, I would definitely be able to overcome all difficulties!
However, the more I remind myself of this, the harder it is for me to calm down, and these kinds of thoughts will always pop into my head from time to time …
What if there was a ghost in front of them?
When he thought of the word ”evil ghost” in his mind, he could not help but feel the ”butterfly effect”. In his mind, he could see all kinds of disgusting and terrifying ghosts, some with faces full of blood, some with terrifying eyes, some with sinister faces …
Then, I thought about it again. The commotion in front of me, could it be caused by poisonous insects like scorpions and centipedes?
In this dark tree hole, there is a high chance that there are poisonous bugs like this hidden. Furthermore, we have shrunk to a size of a few hundred times smaller than flies and centipedes and scorpions. If they were to appear in front of us, they would become monsters.
The thoughts kept popping up uncontrollably in my head, and I knew that in order to overcome my fear, I had to first overcome these random thoughts and inventions.
However, fear was like sleep. The more you wanted to sleep, the less you would be able to sleep. The more you wanted to defeat fear, the more fear you would feel in your heart.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. My forehead was covered in cold sweat.
At that moment, a hand suddenly appeared behind my back and patted my shoulder.
I immediately jumped up with a ”Ah!” sound.
”What the f * ck are you screaming for!”
I turned around and saw a skeleton head. It shrieked ”Ah!” again. It was followed by a reflexive punch towards it.
With a ”peng” sound, the skeleton's head tilted backwards, almost falling off its neck.
”Damn it, why did you hit me!”
I was stunned and only then did I realize that this skeleton head, wasn't it a Sea Wolf? Sea Wolf is a Skeleton Man, I have been with him for a period of time. I didn't expect to be shocked by his appearance even after coming here.
”You have the f * cking upper body? Hit me without a word! ” After saying that, Sea Wolf used both of his hands to prop up the skull. He straightened the skull and continued to cry out in pain.
Embarrassed, I dryly laughed a few times and said, ”I'm sorry, but you really do seem like a bad person. Remember, don't pat me on the back next time. Otherwise, I will give you another punch.”
At this time, Sea Wolf was surprised and puzzled. ”Who is patting your shoulder from behind?”
I dryly chuckled a few times. With a face full of disdain, I said, ”With your acting skills, even if you wanted me as a snare, no one would want it. Just now, you were behind me. If you didn't pat my shoulder, then did you pat me like a ghost?”
Sea Wolf was still confused. ”I really don't have any. What's more, why should I pat you? Did my hand get hurt? ”
When I saw Sea Wolf's expression, it didn't seem like he was talking. I was stunned for a moment before I said, ”It really wasn't you?”
Hai Lang looked wronged and said, ”It really wasn't me. Look, my hand only had bones left. If I really patted your shoulder, you should feel like you were hit by a piece of wood. It can't feel like your hand. ”If you don't believe me, I'll try it out for you now.” He turned to me and tapped me on the shoulder.
'Pa! 'This sound, this feeling, didn't seem like the previous one …
I muttered, ”If it wasn't you, who else would it be?”
”Could it be …”
After saying that, I was stunned for a moment. When the Sea Wolf heard my words, he immediately revealed a look of fear.
He glanced around in horror and found that he could see nothing but darkness.
The Sea Wolf trembled and said, ”There can't really be a ghost, right?”
I felt my hair stand on end. I looked at Sea Wolf and immediately disdained, ”You skeleton man, you're no different from a ghost in the first place. Furthermore, you're immortal. Are you afraid of a ghost?”
