There were about a few people who saw the tragic scene of the person in front of them being eaten clean by "bugs".
In fear, they all tried to escape.
Now, the city lords are rushing forward frantically and are unable to take care of themselves. Naturally, no one will turn back to stop them from escaping.
Those people skillfully dodged the roots sticking out of the human face on the wall, and ran backwards with joy on their faces, thinking they could escape.
However, they did not notice that the passage in front of them, which was the passage they came from, began to contract rapidly, just like the intestines when swallowing.
First, the passage which was several zhang in radius shrank to ten zhang, and then from ten zhang in radius to an entrance which could only accommodate one person.
These escapees had not been discovered before.
I thought that the intestine was just shaking up and down like before.
Until the faces on the walls were almost all pressed against theirs, leaving them with no escape.
Only then did they realize something was wrong.
In fear, he wanted to retreat again.
However, when they were ready to retreat, the intestine they were in was only half a meter in radius.
The people nearby were frightened and huddled together, trying to avoid the approaching face, and madly moved towards the center.
The few people who were fleeing stood back to back, exerting force with their legs and pressing the people behind them with their backs, trying in fear to get away from the face with the "tongue" sticking out on the wall.
They leaned their backs against each other and squeezed into a group. The strongest one among them exerted force and pushed several people on his back away and onto the rock wall.
It was falling onto the faces of several people who were also compressed together on the rock wall.
The roots spit out from those human faces kept swinging, eating frantically amid the screams and curses of those people.
These people were quickly separated.
The strongest person takes advantage of this space and has the opportunity to move.
He pushed off the ground with his legs and suddenly burst out with the fastest speed in his life. He flew several feet off the ground and shot towards the direction they had retreated from before like an arrow.
He wanted to use the force of this explosion to fly towards the crowd who were standing there stunned by the scene.
I want to lead this danger over there and try to find a chance of survival.
However, the intestinal wall suddenly contracted, as if a monster had eaten something spicy or irritating.
In just this one move, the passage was shrunk to half the size of a person.
The person who wanted to escape was instantly trapped by the shrinking rock wall passage.
"Crack!"
His entire body below the chest was clamped tightly by the rock wall.
The entire chest was pressed into the chest cavity.
His whole body was clamped by the intestine with his head stretched forward.
A head is exposed in the front and a pair of legs are exposed at the back.
The compression of his chest caused several streams of blood to spurt out from his seven orifices.
The intestinal-like rock wall at the back was slowly shrinking forward, even shrinking until it stuck together and completely closed.
And after clamping the person's intestines and squeezing the person, it still did not "let go".
It was even squeezing slowly, as if it wanted to close completely with the peristalsis of the intestines at the back.
The rock wall continued to squeeze the man's chest.
A lot of blood foam came out of his mouth and nose.
He stared at the frightened people in front of him and screamed for help.
But the peristalsis of the intestines caused his body to flip over and over again, curling it up and turning it several times.
His glaring eyes and screaming mouth also turned several circles, and the expression on his face failed to reach the person he was calling for help. Instead, it was aimed at the scarlet faces on the shrinking walls.
The scarlet face squirmed, as if mocking.
It stuck out its sharp roots like a tongue and responded.
"Whoosh~!"
"Whoosh~!"
"Whoosh~!"
Sharp roots pierced the cheeks, head, and neck of the trapped person.
The person asking for help had a frozen expression on his face.
In the crazy swinging of those roots, the bones and flesh exploded into pieces and turned into a paste.
Before it entered the human face's mouth, the entire tattered body and head were completely submerged in the contraction of the intestines.
The intestines continued to shrink forward without losing their momentum.
Those who were about to follow their example and run away, or were still hesitating, were so frightened that their hair stood on end.
Not daring to wait and see any longer, he turned around and rushed in the direction where the city lord was rushing.
The way back has been blocked.
Only by moving forward can you survive.
Although there were bugs everywhere in front, they also saw clearly that once someone was bitten, the bugs would pile up madly, leaving large areas of passages without protrusions.
As long as they follow these empty passages, they may be able to move forward.
At this moment of life and death, they have no time to think too much.
A glimmer of hope is enough for them to throw away all their hesitation.
They all spread their legs and ran madly towards the direction where the city lord was rushing in.
Even if he stepped on a bump and attracted a swarm of insects to chase him, he did not dare to stop.
I was afraid that the contracting intestines at the back would clamp me and kill me.
In the midst of the mad rush, there were less than twenty Dou Huangs left.
Some people are unlucky and step on too many bumps, which attract bugs to chase them. They are caught up and bitten by the bugs that break out of the ground, and fall to the ground, where they are quickly piled up by the bugs that climb out and eaten up.
As for the others, seeing their colleagues in trouble, they were all surprised.
He ran towards the mound of earth piled up by insects, jumped up, and after jumping over, landed on the empty space in front where there was almost no protrusion, and fled madly for his life.
Most of the protruding insects chasing behind it also drilled into the mound to compete with the other insects for food.
The person in front shook off the insect pursuers behind him and ran madly into the depths of the cave passage.
While running, some people even attacked the people next to them, knocking down those who were running away with them with one palm.
If he let the man get injured and fall to the ground, where he would be chased by insects from behind and eaten by nearby insects, he would be able to escape more safely.
But the man fell down again while running and being frightened, and also could not escape the fate of being eaten by the insects that broke out of the ground.
Behind him, Shui Dazhuang was running almost wildly with his eyes closed. He was extremely lucky and ran into the depths of the cave in the empty space in the passage where there were no protrusions.
This chaotic scene was repeated several times in this densely packed intestine full of bulges.
Sometimes there were shouting, yelling, crying, cursing, and the terrified sound of "thump~" falling to the ground.
After leaving nearly ten small scarlet mounds on the ground, everything returned to peace.
Then, those small mounds were squeezed together during the contraction of the intestine and merged with the closed intestine.
