I nodded: "Well, it should be."

Liu Shangang seemed to feel sorry for his watch. Although the watch was broken, he still took care of the parts attached to the monument and put them into a small plastic bag. When he took off the needle, because the needle was very narrow and thin, Liu Shangang could only use his nails to scrape it off the monument. However, because he used too much force and was not careful, the needle "huo" and pierced into the gap under his fingernails.

A sharp thing was pierced into the fingernails. The pain was very strong. Liu Shangang couldn't help but groaned, but he still endured the pain and pulled the needle out of the flesh. Blood immediately flowed out through the gaps of the fingernails.

Liang Houzai and I quickly flipped over our backpacks and found a small bottle of medical alcohol and cotton.

I tore a little cotton for Liu Shangang, letting him stop the blood on his hands, and said to him: "If the watch is broken, it will be broken. Why do you still have to collect these parts? Could you still be able to reassemble them?"

Liu Shangang grinned and said, "These equipment on me are customized by old bags at high prices. This watch looks ordinary, but the parts inside are so sophisticated. It's a pity to throw it away like this."

The blood flowing out of his fingertips quickly wet the cotton. Liu Shangang threw the blood-stained cotton on the ground, and I gave him another new one.

At this moment, the magnetic force on the stone tablet became extremely strong in an instant. I held the backpack in my hand and could clearly feel a traction that led my backpack toward the stone tablet.

I unconsciously turned my gaze to the backpack in my hand, but saw that the cotton ball that was thrown on the ground by Liu Shangang just now was also affected by magnetic force and was rolling towards the stone tablet.

Can magnets also attract blood-stained cotton? Although the blood does contain iron, the content is very low.

I was thinking about this in my mind. The cotton ball had rolled over more than three meters on the ground and was pasted on the surface of the stone tablet.

Under the flames, the blood-stained cotton ball originally showed an orange yellow between red and yellow, but when it was pasted on the stone tablet, the red suddenly retreated. After a few seconds, the cotton ball was left with only the soft yellow unique to the flames.

This stone tablet actually sucked the blood in the cotton ball.

Just as the blood on the cotton ball was sucked dry, a messy "scrawling" sound suddenly appeared in the darkness in the distance.

I listened with my ears for a moment, and could clearly distinguish the footsteps of some kind of animal. As time passed, the footsteps became closer and closer to us and became more and more messy.

Doji arched his back, stared at the direction where the sound came, and showed his sharp fangs, and let out a wave of low roars from his mouth.

I immediately pulled out the green steel sword and was ready for battle. Liang Houzai held an engineer shovel in one hand and the mountaineering pickaxe in the other, and looked alert.

Liu Shangang immediately rushed to his backpack, opened it, pulled out a two-foot-long hidden knife from it, and carried the backpack on his body.

The knife in his hand was slightly curved, the blade was wide and thick, but the blade looked very sharp. The fire shone on it and a layer of shiny light appeared.

Liang Houzai looked at the weapons in his hand, then looked at the hidden sword in Liu Shangang's hand, and asked Liu Shangang with some displeasure: "Where did you get the knife?"

Liu Shangang: "Ask the patriarch what he wants. Stop talking, come here!"

As he spoke, the footsteps were already very close to us. I could foresee that in the next moment, something would rush out from the junction of fire and darkness.

I breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the place where the light and shadow intersected.

The footsteps suddenly stopped when they reached the edge of the aperture. We observed the darkness, and things in the darkness were also watching us.

Even though they hid in the dark, the beating fire still occasionally illuminated their outlines. They were a group of short "people", very thin, with their arms and legs as thin as bamboo poles.

But since their outlines only appear occasionally when the fire lights are most violently pounding, I can't see what they look like.

But what is certain is that these things are all living things, and they cannot sense any evil spirit in them. If the murderous aura derived from their nature is not considered evil spirit.

They will sooner or later rush over, and they will not move at this time, as if they are just waiting for a suitable opportunity.

Since you don't move, I can only lead you to action.

I raised the green steel sword and gently tapped Liu Shangang's hidden knife. Two hard objects collided, and a crisp sound of impact immediately emerged in the empty darkness.

This sudden sound immediately made the things hiding in the darkness restless, and they rushed out of the darkness like a tide and rushed towards us.

I did not exaggerate at all. When they appeared, they were like a huge momentum like a tide. It was only then that I realized that the number of them was much more than I thought. To count them roughly, the number was at least three or four hundred.

This is a monster with a very similar appearance to humans. As I just saw, they also have human torso, heads and limbs. They are much shorter than normal adults, between one meter and one meter and three meters tall, and have facial features similar to humans on their faces. However, their eyes have completely deteriorated because of the lack of light for many years. Their ears are very large, and their auricles are turned forward. The nose has no nose wings and bridges, only two thin and long empty, with sharp teeth and no lips, and they are exposed to the outside with the gums.

Also, because they do not see light for many years, their skin color is shining with a light yellow light under the light of fire. If there is natural light here, their skin color should be pale. Through this layer of skin, you can even clearly see the mixed blood vessels.

The reason I can see so clearly is that the first monster that rushed into the fire area came straight at me. Because its appearance is so strange, it left a deep impression on me.

But at that time, I actually didn't have time to think about it so much. The moment it pounced on me, I took a step a little, and at the same time, with a backhand sword, accurately pierced into its heart.

It fell to the ground without even being hummed. Because it rushed too hard just now, after it fell to the ground, it slid a distance along the ground along inertia.

The death of this monster did not slow down its similar pace. Soon, the second monster also came to me.

Its speed is very fast, but compared with the opponents I have dealt with before, they are not agile at all. Moreover, these monsters are thin and have little strength, and their physical toughness is not as strong as that of ordinary adults.

The three of us have struggled several times on the line of life and death. We are not afraid of facing such monsters. We waved our weapons and cut the monsters under our feet like cutting vegetables and melons.

To prevent being surrounded, we cover each other and retreat while fighting with them. When we occasionally reveal flaws, Doji's sharp teeth and claws will make up for the dead ends in our defense.

Three or four hundred monsters were completely killed by us after they launched the attack for five minutes. I looked at the corpses all over the ground and frowned.

The reason why these monsters appear is that the stone tablets sucked away the blood from the cotton.

I speculate that there should be some connection between the stone tablet and these monsters, that is, the blood-sucking stone tablet summons them to come.

But the question is, what are those stone tablets that are magnetic and can suck blood?

The last monster soared into the air and rushed towards Liu Shangang. While dodging, Liu Shangang slashed his neck with a backhand, and saw the monster fall heavily to the ground from mid-air and never stand up again.

I thought the battle was over, so I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang, but found that Doji was still arching his back and staring at the distance with a grinning look on his face.

I couldn't help but frowned and looked at the place where Doji stared at it. It was too dark and I couldn't see what was hidden inside.

Me, Liang Houzai, Liu Shangang, the three of us exchanged glances with each other, and then Liu Shangang quickly rushed to the stone tablet and picked up the torch. He paused for a moment, waiting for Liang Houzai and I to rush to him. Then the three of us held sharp weapons and rushed to the darkness at the same time, and Doji followed us closely.

The fire moved with our pace and immediately illuminated the large area ahead. A large object was illuminated and the darkness quickly retreated. It avoided the light of the fire and hid in the darkness again.

But the moment it was exposed to the fire, I saw that it looked very similar to the monsters that appeared just now. The difference was that its hands and feet were thick and its size was three or four times that of those monsters just now.

Liu Shangang held a torch and wanted to move forward, so I immediately grabbed him: "Stop chasing him, I don't know where to lead us to. Since it doesn't come out, we won't care about it."

Liu Shangang looked into the darkness, and there was a heavy sound of footsteps coming from there, but soon the footsteps stopped again. He seemed to want to figure out what was hidden in the darkness, so he turned his head and said to me, "I still have a earth bullet, otherwise I would try flashing it?"

I raised my eyebrows: "Ground bomb? What kind of earth bullet?"

Liu Shangang said: "It's the flash bullet I used when we dealt with Shan Gui last time."

I shook my head: "Farewell, that thing exploded with strong light, which could easily alarm other monsters lurking in the dark. The situation in this place is unknown now, so be careful."

"Can it just let it stare at us like this?" Liu Shangang pointed to the darkness ahead and said to me impatiently: "I will never feel happy if I don't handle it."

Liang Houzai said from the side: "Don't be stupid, this place is its home court, you can't handle it. No matter what, let it follow."

While Liang Houzai was talking, I took the torch from Liu Shangang's hand and pulled him toward the stone tablet.

This time, our backs were facing the darkness behind us, and the things hidden in the shadow followed us towards the stone tablet, and I could hear its footsteps.

It probably felt that we really didn't care about it anymore, and our courage seemed to have become bigger, and even the sound of footsteps increased a lot. Now I have judged that its current location is about twenty meters behind me.
