There is no doubt that Gru's sudden warning made Zhang Cheng involuntarily fall into contemplation.

But instead of worrying or fearing, he felt more curious than ever.

Because from the words of the other party, he sensed an unprecedented fear, as if he was afraid that something would happen.

For a juggernaut who claims to be at the pinnacle of life in the universe, this sentiment is somewhat unusual.

Although Zhang Cheng didn't know exactly what the original was planning, he could confirm that this plan must be related to some secrets that he didn't know yet.

The thought of this made his whole body become excited.

As for worry and fear, they have long been eliminated from eternity, and even if they face death, they will be very calm, instead of crying like ordinary people, or in a state of extreme high spirits, doing things that would never be done under normal circumstances.

Just as he finished building a complex underground labyrinth and began to investigate the so-called "taboo", the first adventurers finally reached their goal after a lot of difficulty.

Staring at the entrance of the huge and dilapidated vaulted tomb in front of him, the man in charge immediately couldn't help but exclaim: "My God! In this kind of wilderness, there really is a huge underground labyrinth. ”

"It's incredible! Look at the beautiful reliefs, and the surrounding pillars and statues, which are even more ornate than the royal palace. I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent on the people who built it back then. Another member of the group sighed.

"Hahahaha! Look! There's not even a footprint here!"

"Yes, no matter what treasure is buried inside, it's ours now. ”

"We're going to set up camp for the night today, and we'll start exploring early tomorrow morning. ”

"Light a bonfire!" Send two men to hunt some animals, and we'll have a hot meal, and then we'll get a good night's sleep. I've been on the road all these days, and I'm about to run out of energy. ”

......

In this way, in a cheerful atmosphere, the team members began to perform their duties, some went to chop wood to boil water, and some went into the forest to hunt small animals.

For about an hour, the sun was about to set for ten minutes, and a few large cauldrons came with white heat and a rich aroma of meat.

Those who have not experienced a long trek in the wilderness will never understand what kind of painful torture it is to be willing to spend ten days and half a month on dry food and jerky.

Not to mention whether there is a vitamin supplement or not, the dry and hard taste alone will cause great damage to the teeth.

Eating these things for a long time will not only lead to various red gastrointestinal diseases, but also the rate of tooth wear and tear is much higher than that of ordinary people.

So being able to camp in a relatively safe place and eat a hot meal is definitely a supreme treat for them.

But just as these adventurers were immersed in the delicious food, a black shadow quietly walked out of the tomb at some point.

Its movements were so gentle that it didn't make a single sound, and its two eyes glowed with a dark red glow betrayed hatred and cruelty.

The meal lasted very short, about 10 minutes.

When several people went to the river with the wooden bowls they had brought with them, the black shadow followed lightly behind a young man.

I saw that the young man had just bent down, and the black shadow pounced violently, pressing him to the ground with lightning speed, opening his mouth and sucking it out.

In less than a minute, the young man's soul was pulled out alive and devoured.

But that's not all!

After killing the target and devouring the soul, the black shadow also raised its black claws, peeled off the opponent's skin alive, and slowly put it on himself.

Incredibly, once the bloody skin came into contact with its body, it instantly healed as quickly as if it had come back to life, and eventually became exactly like a dead young man, except that the eyes still glowed red from time to time.

Glancing at the skinless corpse that had been thrown into the river, the creature let out a low, hoarse sneer, turned and picked up the wooden bowl that had fallen to the ground, washed it with water, and then returned to the camp.

The ignorant adventurers still gathered together to discuss tomorrow's expedition, and none of them realized that a terrible monster was already lurking among them.

When the last rays of the sun were gone, and the sky was dominated by an infinite number of stars, most of the people opened their sleeping bags or blankets, closed their eyes and slowly fell asleep, leaving only about two or three people to be in charge of the first vigil.

Since there were no signs of carnivores in the vicinity, and there were no signs of the same kind of infestation, the vigilance of the night watchmen was very low, and they only sat around the campfire, chatting without saying a word.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Black Shadow secretly knocked a woman unconscious, dragged her into the grass that could not be illuminated by the campfire, devoured her soul in exactly the same way, and skinned her to disguise herself as a different one.

Obviously, women's identities are far more useful than men's, especially when they can make the most of their body's physiological impulses.

After a while, four or five men were tricked into the grass and fell prey to the dark shadows.

Its killing was so stealthy and efficient that before you knew it, a third of the team disappeared without knowing it.

When the next morning, when the team leader planned to let some people guard the camp and some people follow him into the underground, he suddenly found that his team members were so small, and immediately began to organize people to search around.

As a result, some guys who are good at tracking can easily find a skinned corpse.

"Damn, who can tell me what the fuck is going on?" the leader cursed loudly with a trembling voice.

Although the body has no skin, it is not difficult to determine the true identity of the deceased from his height and the color of his pupils.

By the time all the bodies were found, his hands and feet had begun to tremble uncontrollably, and his eyes showed panic and panic from the bottom of his heart.

There's no way not to be terrified!

After a short sleep, the adventure team that had finally been put together died inexplicably, and the corpses were all skinned without exception.

Some of the skins disappeared entirely, while others were discarded haphazardly.

"Head, do you think there are some deadly traps or monsters hidden in the catacombs that we don't know about? But we only stayed here for one night, and a third of us were inexplicably killed. Another young man in leather armor asked cautiously.
