"Follow them." Luo Xiyao walked ahead, "If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."

He Lan Linzhang squeezed her hand hard to answer.

He continued to look down at the worm, and no longer looked up at the sun.

It never occurred to me that when I followed the worm to a spacious place, it turned out to be a sarcophagus with one mouthful, and the worms scrambled to crawl inside.

"Shall we follow in?"

"Did you notice that the bugs got bigger?"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

Luo Xiyao was taken aback, "Has the bug gotten bigger?"

"Yes, and I haven't seen those glowing bugs for a long time." He Lan Linzhang said.

How could she not notice the glow bugs gone?Luo Xiyao raised her head and knocked her head roughly twice, closed her eyes and thought about it carefully, but she still didn't remember anything, "When did you find out? I mean... the disappearance of the fireflies."

"I do not know."

"What?" Luo Xiyao was dumbfounded, he didn't know what he said?Did she hear it wrong or did she get it wrong?

Helan Linzhang walked over and lifted the lid of the coffin, revealing the stone steps inside. It seems that the coffin is just an entrance, an entrance leading to the underground. At that moment, I suddenly remembered."

What clouded their perception?
In an instant, Luo Xiyao relaxed her breath.

"I don't know how deep it is here." He Lan Linzhang stood by the coffin, looked down for a while, and said, "Wait for me here, I'll go down and have a look. There is a rope, once the rope is pulled tight, I will Get out."

Luo Xiyao grabbed him and said, "No! What if the rope breaks? Where can I find you then? The sun doesn't move, and there is nothing here to tell the time. I can only estimate it roughly. From entering From the beginning of the Flower Wall Maze, we followed the worms here and walked for almost two hours. Do you know how many worms will enter the coffin in two hours? Also, you said that the worms have become bigger, so..."

She pointed to the coffin and said, "Do you think there is a huge bug hidden inside, a Gu that swallowed up all the bugs?"

Helan Linzhang untied the ropes around their waists, and said, "How do you know if you don't go down to see? Maybe the key is hidden underneath? There is no altar here, and there are no cone-shaped piles in the igloo. You need to get the key No one knows how to open the door. But don't you think the sarcophagus is redundant here?"

"You mean... the sarcophagus is the mechanism where the key is placed to open the door?"

"An entrance for bugs to crawl in, if it's simple, you can directly cover it with a stone slab, if it's more complicated, you can build a room on it, why is it a sarcophagus?" He Lan Linzhang said, "I'm thinking, is there something inside the other mazes? There is also such a sarcophagus."

Luo Xiyao looked at He Lan Linzhang, who was in deep thought, and said, "You mean...the key to unlocking the Realm of Spring is a corpse that can be put into the coffin?"

"No. Look inside, here are the steps. It is easy to put a corpse into the coffin, but it is impossible to make the corpse fit the coffin completely."

Luo Xiyao has already been dizzy, don't worry about it, let's talk about it after finding the key.

She refused to stay outside alone, and wanted to go down with him no matter what.

Luo Xiyao held on to his sleeves like that, half-sat on the edge of the coffin, and looked at him silently. If he disagreed, she would not let go.

Helan Linzhang couldn't help it, so she squatted down and asked her to climb on his back, and then jumped onto the coffin with him on her back and walked down the stone steps.

The stone steps are very long, and when you land on the flat ground and look back, you can only see a small beam of light.

Luo Xiyao grabbed his ear and snorted coldly: "Use a rope to come down to explore the way, how do you explore such a long way? Throw away the rope, lose me, and walk into the darkness alone?"

Just as Helan Linzhang was about to speak, Luo Xiyao suddenly covered his mouth, pulled him back quickly, and hid in the corner of the stone steps.

After a while, I saw a huge black shadow floating towards them in the distance. I couldn't tell whether it was walking or flying, but it was very fast.

Until near, the black shadow stuck out its tongue and sucked the insects on the stone steps into its mouth. Many insects were squeezed and fell down the stone steps and fell into the dim light. The huge black shadow had to chase them before letting them see Know the appearance of the shadow.

That is……

Luo Xiyao didn't know what it was either.

I don't know if they were attracted by the fish that slipped through the net on the stone steps, or they found them hiding behind the stone steps. The black shadow ate up all the bugs that landed, and squirmed towards the stone steps.

Luo Xiyao finally understands why the black shadow walks so fast and so strangely. It turns out that it has a long snake tail, so it walks like a snake. When its tail is exerted, its body can jump a long distance.

It is not so much a snake as it is a worm.

Because except for the snake tail, its body is all made of centipede-like scales, and the scales are countless wriggling tentacles and chelicerae.

The scariest thing is its face.

At first glance, it has no face, only a mass of black hair. If you look carefully, where is the hair? It is narrow and cold eyes, but the pupils in each eye are different, far away. It looks like folds squeezed by flesh and hair.

But in fact... except for the black fluff on its face, it is the eyes.

Helan Linzhang pressed her head to her chest, not letting her look at that horrible thing.

It wasn't until the thing hissed away that the two sat relaxed on the ground.

He Lan Linzhang doubted: "Is that Gu?"

"How is it possible?" Luo Xiyao said indifferently to him, "How do you raise such a big Gu? You must know that Gu worms are hidden in the dark, and it is a kind of trick that is not easy to detect. The thing just now is not so much Gu, it’s better to say it’s a gathering of bugs. It’s eating the bugs that just climbed down!”

"If you eat too much, you won't be able to absorb it."

"It stands to reason that it should sort out the strength in the body first, and then plan later."

Helan Linzhang suddenly asked softly: "You mean, because it ate too many bugs here, all of them have the characteristics of these bugs, such as the spider's silk that can weave a web to hunt, such as the snake's shedding skin, such as..."

Luo Xiyao was terrified when she heard that, "Huh? You mean... this huge bug increases its strength by devouring it."

He Lan Linzhang's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Do you think there are many such monsters? It can eat itself like this, and what about other bugs? I don't believe that this one is the only weird one."

Luo Xiyao was stunned for a while, then smiled wryly: "No way?"

He Lan Linzhang affirmed: "Whether it's the world in the coffin or the monster you mentioned, I think it has similarities with the monsters I just saw. I suspect that what I saw...is that the insects turned into monsters." When it grows up, the molted skin is sensed by the things in the flower wall, and eats those worm sloughs to nourish the flowers and plants."

Having said that, he paused, "What do you think?"

"Me? I think you are right." Luo Xiyao nodded heavily, "There is nothing more nutritious than a rotting corpse, and insect sloughs can also be said to be a kind of corpse."
