Alomitsu - Chapter 25
Chapter 25: Studio City (11)
Stiff, I was holding the “stick” and the vine stiffly. When the strange fish died, it became this loach-like animal. At this moment, I wanted to commit suicide. I wanted to jump into the lake and let them consume me.
These loaches twisted like a man stretching, and more importantly, it found me. Its triangular head turned towards me.
Crack!
The blood splashed on my face, and the hot tingling feeling made me even more terrified. An oval head bit the triangle head, and the head of the loach was torn apart. The thread was pulled out like cheese. Its head was bitten off.
The body that lost its head was constantly twisting and the black body slammed into the rock wall with a roar. The next moment, the huge body of the loach fell into the lake, and a huge strange fish ripped the body of the loach.
What happened to it?
My head kept spilling blood, and from time to time, I would drop black and slippery pieces of meat. The nerves of these pieces of meat still existed, and they were constantly twisting.
At this moment, I raised my head and looked up. A creature at the same height as the cave was gnawing on the triangular head, and a crisp sound reverberated.
When the head was swallowed, the “stick” and its limbs began to move upwards. It wanted to eat the strange fish it killed. This fear made me sluggishly pull myself up. During this sluggish period, I saw a round mouth, which exposed layers of teeth. There was a layer on the side of the mouth, and three or four layers of ring-shaped teeth inside.
At this moment, I woke up and grasped the thick vines on the rock wall. I was like a puppy breathing heavily, and the extremely large body of the strange fish was pulled into my line of sight.
The strange fish was bitten by the mouth just like a person eating a small fish. It was swallowed in one bite. The surrounding layers of teeth were like saws, and the strange fish was sawed into pieces layer after layer.
The blood of the strange fish fell like a spilling basin. There was blood on the rock wall, on my body, and in the lake below.
I was like a prisoner sitting and waiting to die. I watched the unknown creature swallow the strange fish, and it merged with the edge of the cave like a chameleon, as if it never appeared.
Tears flowed down my cheeks. I was so scared. I was really scared. Faced with the existence of this kind of fear, I couldn’t cry.
I cried for about five minutes. Even if I didn’t want to move forward, I had to move forward. My arm holding the vine started to hurt. This time, I miraculously survived.
All the strange fish in the lake floated on the surface of the water, their backs shining brightly and illuminating the direction towards the top of the rock wall.
I grabbed the vine and moved carefully. Before grabbing the next vine, I would pull it down to prevent it from being a rotten vine. Once I fell, I didn’t think I had a chance of escaping again.
The strange fishes in this lake were all awakened. They were swimming under me and occasionally cried like babies.
Are they crying like poor children to attract food?
If I kept climbing further, I could reach the natural stone caves on top of the wall. When I climbed to the middle, the vines I grabbed suddenly fell off.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” I instantly revealed a look of horror and screamed. The vines I grabbed took me to the opposite wall like a swing, and the strange fish below instantly gathered below me.
Boom!
I hit the rock wall, when my head was hit, I felt dizzy. I shook my head and abandoned the vine. I grabbed another vine and climbed up the wall. A strange fish flew and bit the vine I caught. It was torn apart. When the fish ate the vine, its eyeballs burst just like the strange fish before it, and countless black fish came out.
The black fish that came out bit the fish’s body. It was a small black fish. In a short period of time, almost every one had grown two or three meters, which was twice as tall as a human adult.
They were still growing, the black fish on both sides of the stone walls were slapped with water, and water began to spurt from the gaps in the stone walls. The water splashing on the lake was getting higher and higher, as they continued to grow. It was hard to imagine that the lake was now rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If the lake rose to a certain level, I would not be able to leave from the stone wall, because they would reach me. I sped up and climbed towards the rock cave.
This time, I safely climbed into the top of the center of the grotto. There were no stalactites in the center of the grotto, but a closely connected cave. The cave was smooth and tight, and the size of the cave was enough for adults to crawl on their knees.
The inner wall of the cave was inlaid with liquid crystals emitting a faint green light. When I reached out to touch the crystal, the liquid in the crystal suddenly moved. A baby with a mouse head appeared, and on its back, there was a floating fluff.
“What!” I yelled and retreated to the back. The scenario stimulated my nerves. My eyes were wide, and everything in my mind looked like that terrible baby.
I stayed where I was. At this moment, I heard the sound of the water beating below, which reminded me that the lake was still rising and that I needed to leave as soon as possible. Don’t wait for the lake to rise to the highest level. After all, I don’t dare to do anything.
There was only one road in this cave. It was smooth and tidy. It was obviously polished. As I crawled on my knees, more and more green crystals were inlaid on the stone wall, and the ancient Romanian language was carved inside the stone wall.
“Even if I don’t want to look at it, these words and patterns always cleverly appear in my sight. The meaning is probably as follows.”
The ancient Alomites gave us eternal life. It will forgive our sins, and as long as we offer the purest soul, it will protect us from enemy aggressions.
The matching pattern was a bare-chested person holding up a baby to a sun-like devil with blue-faced fangs. It stretched out its hand and inserted a ball-shaped object into the baby’s abdomen.
The baby grew a mouse head. After the baby grew a mouse head, the scene showed a group of barbarians holding sharp spears.
The spear pierced a prisoner’s buttocks to his mouth, and the bonfire was grilling the prisoner underneath. The blood flowing from the prisoner’s mouth was also portrayed.
This group of barbarians placed the barbecued corpse in front of the baby with the head of a mouse. The baby gnawed on the corpse. The group of barbarians danced happily when they saw it.
After this, the barbarians walked to the lake full of big fish, and they pushed the prisoners off the boat. They even jumped off themselves, portraying expressions like a cult-like fanaticism.
The big, full fish laid flat on the water, and another group of barbarians stuffed vines and the like into the fish’s mouth, including the ball-shaped thing.
The big fish grew into strange fish. The barbarians raised their arms and cheered again. Here, they polished the place with stone tools. They climbed from the rock wall, and the intruder depicted fell into the water with a look of horror. The huge mouth of the fish opened wide.
After this scene, a man in a red robe threw small wriggling snakes into the lake. When the barbarians found out, they had grown into huge long snakes, like the huge loach before. This was most likely the long snake they portrayed.
The long snake was entangled by the black branches, and then grabbed it upwards. After seeing the barbarians in the painting, they went back to worship the devil like the sun happily. They placed the tied up clansmen in front of the devil. The tied up clansmen smiled enthusiastically, and mice crawled under them.
The picture ended there.
This might be an ancient myth with a long history, but what exactly is Alomitsu? Does the pattern show the body of Alomites? My thinking lasted only for a moment, as I couldn’t quietly think about these issues now.
The distance to this cave was a bit long, and the sections after this were all with the same patterns and words, which were all stupid.
Crawling forward, one could see the broken bones scattered in the cave. The bones were not human bones, but fish bones. According to the size of the fish bones, this was the black fish in the lake.
As I continued to move forward, more and more fish bones scattered, and the residue of fish bones pierced into my knees. Fortunately, it just pierced the epidermis. These bones had been around for a long time, and most of them had decayed.
When I saw a fish skull with a human head under its mouth, my face began to change. The fish had been here before, which meant that the lake would rise to this point.
This human bone made a desperately struggling forward posture. I broke the human bone with one hand and crawled forward frantically. This human bone was a warning to me. I wanted to crawl out of this cave quickly.
The long crawling made me feel anxious. Time passed extremely fast every minute and every second, the crawling caves gradually twisted and twisted, and the sound of the surging lake became more and more pleasing.
I didn’t want to bury myself in the belly of the fish, but what made me very weak was that the lake water seeped through the cracks in this cave. I crawled forward as fast as I could, but I still heard the sound of the fish in the water behind me.
This was one of my current crises. Another crisis was that the crystals on the stone wall began to crack after touching the water, and the viscous green liquid slowly flowed out of the cracks in the cracked crystals.
Squeak~
The rat’s cry began to penetrate the crystal, and the body of the baby with the rat’s head began to squirm. It was just like the situation I saw in the stream.
“Huh!!!!” I held my breath and gritted my teeth, holding back the pain from my knees and calves, and moving forward without slowing down. After reaching this point, how can I give up again? Rui is still waiting for me!
