Chapter 6 claustrophobia
Under the pitch-black giant tree, the two of them moved down for a while. Along the way, they occasionally encountered the terrifying zombie dragon several times. Each time before the other appeared, Li Yuan always pulled Lu Lie into the obstacle aside like a premonition. Then, not long after, with the rumble coming from afar, the terrifying monster appeared nearby.
I remember the most dangerous time, Lu Lie and Li Yuan, who were hiding under the tree pit, had already passed by the monster. The huge white dragon bone lazily crossed the tree pit. No matter how hard Lu Lie tried to stick to the tree wall, the cold and slightly tide dragon's body still rubbed against his arm and slashed over.
At that moment, Lu Lie felt his heartbeat almost stop.
Fortunately, the huge zombie dragon did not notice Lu Lie's existence in the end, but just left slowly. After confirming that the dragon's final departure, Lu Lie stood up from the tree pit with lingering fear and glanced at his arm. The place on the arm that was rubbed by the dragon had begun to collapse, and maggots and strange little bugs kept popping up, rolling back and forth on the purple rotten flesh, in and out.
Just because I was rubbed a little bit, my entire arm was bitten so hard that my bones were about to reveal my bones.
After seeing this, Li Yuan frowned slightly: "Fortunately you are a guy with an eternal heart, otherwise the trouble would be great." He took out a small dagger and skillfully and carefully removed all the rotten flesh on Lu Lie's arm. Not long after, new flesh began to grow on the injured arm. Even if there was a little purple bug that had not been removed and ran around, he quickly fell from Lu Lie's arms that were about to recover. After landing on the ground, they were trampled to death by the two of them.
"What... is that?" Lu Lie was still in fear until a long time after the dragon disappeared in the void. He was not a timid person. His experience on the giant tree and the Borderless Land had already made him face death countless times. However, the oppression that the monster gave him was different from the threat he had faced at any other time. Even if he was facing the giant yellow spring, he did not have such oppression. Even if he first saw Yao on the giant tree... that suffocation feeling could barely be compared with the experience just now.
"I seem to have said that it was the dragon's corpse that fell here and turned into a monster..."
"How come the dragon's corpse fell here? Besides, how could there be a creature like a dragon in this world?" Lu Lie couldn't help but feel a little excited, and his voice became louder. "Even if there are dragons in this world, they must be a kind and perfect creature, and definitely not that way! It's so terrifying. Even the zombies we encountered before did not have the coldness it brought us..."
Lu Lie's voice began to echo in the abyss. He also realized that he had lost his composure and gradually lowered his voice: "How much do you know about this world, or how many secrets are hidden in your heart, it has reached the point where you can tell them all... Li Yuan, I feel that if we continue like this, we will definitely touch something more dangerous to me."
"Calm down, Lü Lie."
Lu Lie suppressed his inner irritability and fear: "Do you mean I'm already crazy, Li Yuan?"
In the darkness, he felt a cold but soft hand gently resting on his shoulder: "Don't be nervous, Lu Lie..."
"I'm not nervous!" Lu Lie felt an invisible poisonous snake in his heart raising his head and was roaring.
In the darkness, Li Yuan's voice opposite was silent for a moment, and then rang again: "I don't believe you will go crazy in this situation. No, you have experienced so many things on the giant tree. Although I was unable to reach the top of the giant tree with you in the last time and space, from the fact that you were able to reach the top of the giant tree or even hit the Tower of Despair, you are definitely not the kind of person with weak will and will be affected and disturbed by the outside world. Think about it carefully, Lu Lie, you have survived many difficult moments. If you die, then you don't know how many times you died in the previous giant tree journey. The only reason why you are still alive is because you are not an ordinary person, you are stronger than others! You will not die, it is the case when you are on the giant tree, and it is the same here."
"This is above the Yellow Spring Sea, which may be one of the most terrifying places we have encountered so far. But I believe that we will be able to pass here in the end, just like we passed through the giant tree."
It has to be admitted that there is a strange magic in Li Yuan's words that can quickly soothe a manic heart. Lu Lie felt that the restless little snake in his heart slowly extinguished.
He was silent for a while and adjusted his mood: "I'm sorry, Li Yuan, I must apologize to you. I was impulsive when I spoke with this attitude before. In such a dangerous place, any change in mentality can make us die without a place to die."
"It doesn't matter." Li Yuan, who is opposite, said, "In fact, after reaching more than a thousand meters below the giant tree, my mentality has also undergone a strange change, becoming manic, irritable, and suspicious. This is called claustrophobia in the pathology of our future humans. No matter how powerful a person is, we are humans after all. If we are humans, we will be affected by the surrounding environment. As long as we know the changes in our mentality and overcome it, it's enough."
The other party didn't say that Lu Lie didn't feel it. At this moment, he calmed down and looked at the strange world around him that was pitch black and could not see the bottom. There was indeed a sense of mania slowly rotating in his heart. The little snake in his heart was causing signs of power.
Li Yuan clapped his hands: "Listen, Lu Lie, the best way to dispel claustrophobia is to concentrate. Can you hear my clapping now?"
Lu Lie nodded. Suddenly he thought that the other party could not see his movements in the darkness, so he spoke out: "I'm listening."
"Very good." Li Yuan, opposite the darkness, clapped his palm again, "Now I will clap my hands every five hundred meters we descend. This is a hint we agreed upon, and it is also a kind of psychological hypnosis for you. As long as the applause sounds, you must try to suppress your inner anxiety and mania and free yourself from fear."
I don’t know why, maybe it’s really a psychological effect. After hearing Li Yuan say these words, Lu Lie’s mentality gradually relaxed. He recalled: “Well, just do what you said.” But when Lu Lie began to decline, suddenly a great horror, and the infinitely gloomy opposite slowly penetrated into his mind.
