Quenched long order

Chapter 158 Dry Well
There used to be many villages near Ximugang, but with the development of Ximugang, people in the villages gradually moved to the city, and the original villages were naturally abandoned.

No one likes to hear the howling of wolves after nightfall, not to mention the disaster that may come to their door at any time.

If they were allowed to make a choice, they would die in Ximu Port. At least, someone would know that they died.

Martha looked at the deserted village under the moonlight. The thatched houses on the periphery had long since collapsed and were almost integrated with the weeds, making it difficult to distinguish them. Closer, there were sturdier wooden houses, but they were all dilapidated and obviously no longer occupied. use.

Under the cold moonlight, the deserted village was extremely quiet, like a painting.

Martha did not move. She knew clearly that the purpose of her coming here was not to save a certain person, but to investigate the source of the missing case. After obtaining enough information, she would tell the security guards and the garrison about it, so that The right person to handle it.

The waiting process is long and boring.

After seeing no traces of anyone's activities or observing any abnormalities, she decided to go to the deserted village to investigate carefully.

She walked out from the hiding place, trying to avoid places where she could easily expose herself, until she came near the deserted village, then bent over and ran over at a faster speed.

Before this tracking, she had changed into a pair of lightweight shoes that facilitated exercise, but in this extremely quiet environment, the sound of her footsteps still made her heart pound unconsciously.

It wasn't until she came to the dilapidated wooden house that she felt a little relieved.

She covered her mouth with her left hand, pressed her left chest with her right hand, and lowered her voice as much as possible. At the same time, she focused on her ears and listened carefully to the situation in the deserted village.

Silent.

The deserted village was so quiet that it was almost eerie.

She waited silently, and after about half a minute, she slowly moved to the edge of the wooden house and looked into the deserted village.

More dilapidated wooden houses appeared in her eyes, and these wooden houses were also uninhabited. However, there was a dry well in the middle of the dilapidated wooden houses. She found that there seemed to be traces of walking around the dry well, but because the distance was too far, it was hard to see. clear.

She closed her eyes, and the layout of the dilapidated houses in the deserted village came to her mind bit by bit. Then, she began to plan a safe exploration route, at least to prevent herself from being too easily exposed. Soon, a route was determined.

After everything was ready, she acted according to the route planned in her mind.

When she came to the back of a dilapidated wooden house, she stopped and looked into the wooden house.

The top of the wooden roof has collapsed, the interior is full of dust, and the abandoned furniture has been moth-wormed, exuding a desolate smell.

She got into the wooden house from the collapsed place, and then took out a small bag of red powder from the bag beside her. Then, she poured the powder on the ground, stretched out her right index finger, pressed it on the red powder, and started to draw circles.

Ten seconds later, an astrological circle took shape.

A simple positioning array, if there is no other force blocking it, the array can be easily determined by astrology.

After she was ready, she put away the small bag, left the dilapidated wooden house, and continued along the route until she walked around the deserted village. After confirming that there was no one there, she took a deep breath and walked towards the dry well in the middle.

On the top of the dry well is a damaged awning with only a corner left. Under the awning is a water puller, which looks quite new.The mouth of the dry well is a circle larger than that of ordinary water wells. Even if two people stand side by side, there is room to turn around.

There is a circle of weeds growing around the dry well, and the weeds are slightly yellow, apparently without water for a long time.

Martha squatted on the ground and observed carefully. She walked half a circle around the dry well and saw very shallow footprints. She stretched out her right hand to compare the size and determined that these footprints did not belong to her.

After discovering this, her eyes lit up, her heart was extremely excited, and she looked up at the dry well in front of her.

Then, she stood up, stood by the dry well, and looked into the well.

Even though the awning was damaged and the moonlight illuminated a corner of the well, it was still impossible to see clearly what was going on inside the well.

She didn't want to throw stones to testify, and she didn't want to light up the well, because she was worried that she might startle the snake. Either way, it would be too easy to reveal her arrival.

However, if you want to report a missing case and have security guards and guards send people over, the information you have now is far from enough.

After thinking twice, she decided to hold back for the time being, go back to find enough manpower, and then investigate.

She turned her head, a blue light flashed in her eyes.

what happened?

She was startled and wanted to stay away from the dry well, but inside the dry well, a hand stretched out, grabbed her arm, and dragged her into the dry well.

She struggled hard, but she couldn't resist the strength of this hand at all.

After falling into the dry well, she felt that something on the wall of the well had been touching her, which slowed down her falling speed until the feeling of falling stopped, and she felt that she had hit something soft.

She rubbed her head, sat up quickly, and then touched her side. The small bag she was carrying was still there, and she felt relieved, but the surroundings felt a bit crowded.

With doubts in her heart, she took out a piece of red lighting paper from the small bag. This is an alchemy item. After rubbing, it will emit a light red light, but it does not last long.

She rubbed the lighting paper vigorously with her left index finger and thumb. Gradually, the lighting paper emitted a light red light, illuminating the surrounding area a little.

A hand appears to her left.

This hand is off-white and feels cold to the touch, as if the owner of the hand has been dead for a long time, but it is not stiff, but very soft, as if it will move at any time.

Martha swallowed, and slowly stretched her left hand to the left. She thought she would see a dead person, but the end of the gray-white arm was the cold wall of the well, as if someone had been trapped in the well.

Seeing this scene, Martha felt that the temperature at the bottom of the well dropped a few degrees. Even though she was mentally prepared before coming here, she still felt goosebumps all over her body when she saw this weird scene in front of her.

At this moment, the fingers of the gray-white arm moved and touched her shoulder lightly.

Martha trembled all over, her eyes widened, suspecting that she was wrong, but just when she doubted her eyes, the gray-white arm moved again.

Could it be... the owner of the arm is still alive?

She thought to herself, sticking out her tongue and licking her lips.

In the next second, the wrist of the gray-white arm turned a little and grabbed her shoulder.

Martha backed away quickly.

The gray-white arm had very little strength and was easily thrown away.

"Are... are you still alive?"

Martha asked in a small voice.

After saying this sentence, the gray-white arm seemed to come alive completely, and began to swing left and right, but every movement was weak, and the swing was very random.

"Are you... calling for help?"

Martha took a deep breath and stuck the lighting paper on her cuff. Then, she stretched out her hands towards the gray-white arm, grabbed it hard, and started to pull it back hard.

The gray-white arm began to straighten, and in turn grabbed Martha's arm and clasped it tightly.

"Really? In that case..."

Martha frowned tightly, and after the gray-white arm clasped her arm, it made it easier for her to exert strength.

"...Can you just pull it out?"

Because she was worried that she would make a wrong judgment, she first used half of the strength, pushed back, and then swung left and right. She felt something loose on the well wall.

it works!

Martha gradually increased her strength, and as her strength increased, the gray-white arm clasped her arm became more and more forceful.

click.

Something was pulled from the walls of the well.

Gasping for breath, Martha raised her right hand, and she saw the gray arm still clasping her arm, and then she saw the severed muscle at the end of the arm.

This scene almost made her scalp tingle, she quickly tore off the gray arm and threw it to the bottom of the well.

"How... how? I didn't use much force, how could it be broken?"

She looked at the gray arm at the bottom of the well, unable to speak for a long time.

At this time, the arm was still shaking slightly, as if it hadn't completely died yet.

After the gray-white arm stopped completely, she had the energy to look at the wall of the well where the gray-white arm was. Due to the limited light from the lighting paper, she had to walk to the wall of the well to finally see the situation on the wall of the well clearly.

In the middle of the hard well wall, there is a circular gap, and behind the gap, there is no soil or rock, but flesh and blood that seems to be wriggling. The gray-white arm is an arm growing from the well wall, not a person who was built into the well wall.

"What on earth...is this?"

Martha couldn't help being amazed, seeing the wriggling flesh and blood behind the well wall, she couldn't speak for a long time.

Then, she held the lighting paper and stretched it upward, and several arms came into her eyes. These arms, like the gray-white arms, were swinging feebly in the dry well.

Fear rose from the soles of her feet and occupied Martha's brain. She almost screamed. However, her remaining sense reminded her that she must not scream, otherwise, there might be something more terrifying waiting for her. .

She covered her mouth with her right hand, and made a fist with her left hand, allowing her nails to penetrate into the flesh. The tingling pain made her wake up a lot.

"Calm down, Martha, throw away those useless emotions, and think about what you should do."

She took a deep breath to calm herself down as soon as possible.

As her emotions gradually calmed down, she squatted down and took out a bag of white powder from the small bag she carried with her. This was stone powder, the material she usually used to draw astrological circles.

"You can contact the teacher first."

She originally didn't want to contact the teacher, but the current situation has exceeded her expectations.

As the stone powder gradually formed a circle, the relevant symbols were drawn, and an astrological circle was drawn. It was not standard enough, but it was already effective.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the astrological circle, she took out some auxiliary materials from the small bag and added them to the astrological circle.

"Why...it didn't work at all?"

She looked up at the entrance of the dry well, it was pitch black without any light.

"The mouth of the well is not blocked, since it can contact Xingkong, why can't it take effect?"

plan, more questions arose.

Martha crossed her hands on her chest, carefully looked at the astrological circle on the ground, and checked again, but found no mistakes. Then, she looked up at the dark sky.

"I remember that the canopy had a big gap, it was impossible to block the starry sky, and besides, the moon was very bright."

Suddenly, she recalled the moment when she was caught in the well, and a blue light flashed.

"It's the influence of that blue light..."

She thought that was the only possibility.

"If I were a quencher... no, it's a relationship that I didn't prepare enough. I will never admit that someone is inherently superior. I will definitely prove it."

Speaking of the latter, she clenched her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.

After a full three seconds, she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. At the same time, she gradually loosened her tightly clenched hands.

Although her situation has not changed, her fear has gradually subsided.

"First of all, I need to save my energy. After being trapped, I should avoid making a scene. Instead, I should save my energy and wait for the rescue and the opportunity. Otherwise, even if the opportunity appears in front of me, I won't have enough energy to escape."

She squatted against the wall of the well, and her eyes fell on the astrological circle in front of her.

external force.

Unreliable after all.

However, she still has brains and experience, these are not external forces.

"There is a question. If the dry well is indeed the destination of those people, then where did those people go? After I fell into the dry well, I did not meet anyone. They cannot disappear out of thin air. I can be sure that they are all human beings, at least , the kidnapped person must be an ordinary person."

Having said that, she opened her eyes wide and lifted up the lighting paper. At this time, the lighting paper still had the last bit of light left. She suppressed the fear in her heart and began to grope on the wall of the well.

Not long after, her hands touched a gap.

She pushed hard, and the well wall behind the gap moved obviously.

This discovery surprised her so much that she increased her strength. Suddenly, part of the well wall began to move, moving back a little, and an obvious gap appeared on the right side of the well wall.

A door appeared in Martha's eyes.

This is a door hidden within the well wall.

Martha continued to push hard, but found that she couldn't push it open any more. Then, she changed direction and pushed the door to the left. At first, it was very difficult to push, but as she continued to increase her strength, the wall of the well was soon pushed open, and a road appeared in sight.

At this moment, the lighting paper in my hand went out completely.

She took out another one, rubbing her thumb and forefinger, and the light red light reappeared at the bottom of the well.

She held the lighting paper forward.

A gray-white arm appeared, and then she continued to rub the lighting paper. This operation could quickly burn out the lighting paper, but it would also make the lighting paper brighter.

The light red light turns red.

The road ahead is an underground passage. In the passage, a gray-white arm protrudes from the wall, waving weakly like the arm on the wall of a well. The only difference is only one.

The arms in the passage are densely packed.

The illuminated paper gradually dims.

Martha took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and then looked back at the astrological circle on the ground. She stretched out her feet, destroyed the astrological circle, and pushed the stone powder to the wall of the well to prevent leaving traces. After that, she Drill into the channel.

As soon as he entered the passage, the arms on both sides of the passage seemed to sense the arrival of someone, and quickly became active.

Fear rose from the bottom of my heart again.

Martha bit her tongue, reached out to take out a small knife from the bag, swung it vigorously, and chopped it on the gray-white arm.

Feeling the pain in the gray-white arm, he began to slap hard.

Martha did not stop when she saw this. Whenever the gray-white arm came close to her, the knife in her hand would stab it without mercy.

After doing this several times, the gray-white arm was completely retracted at a corner, and no longer moved.

Martha walked forward with a cold face.
