Through the perspective of the little paper man, Yu Lan saw two skeletons walking towards them.

They both had a layer of bluish-white cloth wrapped around their waists, but the texture looked hard and didn't resemble anything else, so no one knew what it was.

The two skeletons walked straight towards Yu Lan. She subconsciously held her breath. It was so quiet around her that she could almost hear the sound of her rapid heartbeat.

Fortunately, the two skeletons did not notice Yu Lan's existence. They just passed by her position and walked towards the cocoons that had not yet hatched.

They roughly tore open one of the cocoons and dragged something out from it.

After seeing what was dragged out by the skeleton man, the little paper man subconsciously reached out to cover his featureless face, but was ordered by Yu Lan to forcefully remove his covering hands and watch what happened next without blinking.

The little paper man hid in the gap tremblingly and watched the two skeleton men dragging out a corpse. But it was not accurate to say that it was a corpse, because the eyes of the person being dragged out moved, and he seemed to have discovered Yu Lan's existence.

So... is it still a human being?

Yu Lan looked at the man in fear through the sight of the little paper man. His clothes seemed to have been corroded by the liquid in the cocoon, and the cloth hung on his body in tatters. At the back, the skeletons thought they were in the way, so they were torn off and thrown aside.

He seemed to have been given a muscle relaxant, and his whole body was limp like jelly.

No, rather, all the tissues in the body have melted, leaving only the skin as a wrapping. As long as you tear that layer of skin open, the liquid inside will gush out like the liquid in a punctured balloon.

If you ask why Yu Lan would make such a description...it's because the two skeleton men did not leave after dragging the man out, but dragged him to a high rock nearby and put him down, then took out a knife and cut the man's skin, sucking the juice inside as if they were eating jelly.

Yu Lan didn't want to think about where the food the two skeletons ate would go. She just felt disgusted.

What kind of witchcraft can turn a person into this state and yet that person will not die?

Yes, until now, the person who was dragged out by the skeleton man has not died.

He watched helplessly as his body quickly dried up due to the sucking, and watched helplessly as one of the skeletons, after finishing sucking, reached into his skin that was cut by the knife and pulled it open with force.

The man's skin was split in two. When she pulled the skin apart, Yu Lan could still see some black and red sticky liquid dripping out of the opening, making a sticky sound.

The stench filled the air, and it seemed to arouse the interest of the skeletons. They danced with joy, speeding up the skinning process, and one even pounced on the man and started to eat him because he had no time to wait.

From his limbs, to his abdomen, and then to his face. They directly ripped off the head and chewed it. Yu Lan didn't want to see this scene, so she temporarily cut off her visual connection with the little paper man. However, the chewing sound echoed in this small space, and it was hard for Yu Lan not to listen.

The sound of upper and lower teeth colliding, the tearing sound, the chewing sound, even if you haven't seen it, you can imagine the disgusting scene.

It's so disgusting, it's really embarrassing, this witchcraft is so weird.

Yu Lan couldn't help but frown. She had seen ghosts eat people and people eat ghosts, but she had never seen skeletons eat people... Well, this was also a fresh experience.

Yu Lan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She didn't know how long it had been before the chewing sound stopped and a snapping sound began. It was the two skeletons walking towards her.

Again? Yu Lan subconsciously held her breath. She seemed to hear the footsteps stop, so she reconnected to the five senses of the little paper man. Unexpectedly, the first thing she saw was the dark eye sockets of the skull.

It was discovered!

The little paper man was being stared at by the skeletons and dared not move, because the place where he was hiding was not far from Yu Lan's hiding place. It would be bad if he was discovered by the skeletons.

The paper man and the skeleton stared at each other in a stalemate for a while. Then the skeleton pinched the paper man's head, picked him up, stuffed him into his mouth, and chewed him into pieces with a crunch.

Chewed...chewed into pieces?!

Yu Lan disconnected the little paper man's induction in disbelief. The little paper man she released was the kind that could be used for a long time, but it was actually chewed to pieces by this skeleton?

It seems that she underestimated the strength of these skeletons. She needs to be careful next time.

Even though I lost my vision, I could still roughly judge what the two skeletons were doing just by hearing. They broke open a new cocoon and dragged another person out from inside.

This time they didn't eat it directly, but dragged the man away.

Yu Lan waited until their noise faded away and could no longer be heard before she carefully opened her eyes. At the same time, Arthur also started to speak.

"Xiao Yu, you weren't discovered by them, were you?"

Yu Lan released another little paper man, and a thin voice came out from the little paper man: "I say, have you forgotten that I can't speak?"

"Hey, what is this?" Arthur was slightly stunned, and then immediately apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I always thought you were a quiet and cold boss..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped talking. Damn it, he said what was in his heart.

The little paper man crossed his short hands and said unhappily, "I'm so sorry, I'm not aloof or a big shot, on the contrary, I'm just a little loser who likes to talk."

"Hey, boss, don't be angry--" Arthur shrank his shoulders and didn't dare to continue speaking.

Although I don't know what that little paper figure is, it seems to be a very powerful reconnaissance prop. It doesn't seem to be for sale in the mall... No, it's not that it's not for sale, it may be that his level is too low to see the purchase interface of high-end products. That little paper figure must be a high-end prop!

"Let's not talk about this for now. Do you know what's going on with those two skeletons and the person in the cocoon?"

The little paper man jumped down from the high rock, ran to the pile of cocoons with his short legs, and started touching and knocking around.

"I don't know what's going on with those skeletons, but this cocoon..."

"As you can see, I can see you from outside. I don't know why, but you can't see inside this cocoon from the outside, but you can see clearly from the inside."

According to Arthur, this cocoon was made by some unknown creature, and he was inside it when he woke up.

The cocoon is filled with a yellow-green viscous liquid, as sticky as snot. These liquids will penetrate into the human skin, quickly change the human body structure, corrode all the organs inside, and turn them into a mass of viscous liquid.

In addition, this yellow-green liquid can also transform human skin and bones, turning them into other substances.

"What substance?"

"Well..." Arthur hesitated for a moment and said, "The person they left behind is still there. You'll know if you go and take a look. I can't explain the details, but it feels different from ordinary human skin and bones."

Different? Yu Lan was puzzled and asked the little paper man to go and have a look.

"Yes, master." Although this little paper man was created by Yu Lan's spiritual power, the little paper man also has his own personality, and this little paper man is particularly lively.

The little paper man hopped over to the platform and touched the remaining human skin and bones.

"This touch..." The little paper man touched it again in disbelief. Although the facial massage was blank, Arthur could feel that it was very shocked for some reason.

"It's rubber! It's the slippery, thick, tough rubber that Screaming Chicken uses! Even my bones feel like that!"

The little paper man screamed and ran back to Yu Lan, rubbed her fingers for comfort, and then stood there in a daze.

Yu Lan felt great pain all over, but she patiently raised her fingers and touched the paper man's head, transferring some spiritual energy to it.

"Master, Master..."

The little paper man called out to Yu Lan in a trembling voice: "Your skin... has also turned into rubber."

"What?" Arthur said in disbelief. How could this be possible? Yu Lan was not in the cocoon.

"Come to think of it, why are you okay?" Yu Lan also couldn't believe it. She thought she was just in great pain because she fell from a great height, but now it seemed... she was experiencing the same thing they experienced in the cocoon.

Arthur's tone became excited when he mentioned this: "This is all thanks to the talisman you gave me! When I woke up, I felt the talisman paper was getting hot, and then I saw an invisible shield covering me. Thanks to this, the liquid couldn't touch me, and I haven't mutated yet."

At this point, Arthur hesitated and said, "Don't you have this amulet with you, sir?"

Yu Lan sighed resentfully. Yes, there were talismans, but most of them were offensive talismans. She had never thought of using defensive ones, and she forgot about it when she fell.

But can she say she forgot? No, absolutely not!

Arthur listened to Yu Lan's resentful sigh and instantly imagined a lot. He quickly said, "I understand! Big Boss, you are such a good person."

No, you don't understand at all.

Yu Lan sighed again, and then controlled the paper figure to observe the progress of the changes in her body.

"It seems fine now, only the limbs... But it's strange, there is no mucus on your body, why did the mutation occur?"

The little paper man hugged Yu Lan's arm and sobbed softly: "Wuwuwu my master."

"Could it be absorbed?" Arthur said, "I saw that the amount of mucus that fell out after they tore off the cocoon was different from the amount of mucus in my cocoon, so I suspect that the mucus was absorbed by the human body."

Was it absorbed...Yes, she is now in a pile of broken cocoons, and it is very likely that she absorbed the remaining mucus in those cocoons.

It’s trouble! Yu Lan looked helplessly at the hole above the cave. She fell from there.

Her body was corroded and mutated by the mucus, which meant that she lost the ability to move, which was more troublesome than not being able to speak.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Arthur whispered, "Do we still have the ability to leave here now?"

"Hey, don't give up so easily, kid!" The little paper man patted Arthur's cocoon and said angrily: "Don't think that we are trapped here now, but don't you have teammates? There is strength in numbers!"

"Who are you calling a kid?" Arthur muttered softly, and said in a low voice: "It's useless. Even if my teammates come, they can't beat that monster."

"Have you seen him? Prince Linton." Yu Lan spoke to Arthur through the little paper man: "From what you said, it seems that you have seen that man."

"Yes, I have seen you once."

Speaking of Prince Linton, Arthur was a little scared. It seemed that he would feel fear whenever he thought of that man. He shivered for a long time without saying a word.

After a while, he whispered, "When I first met him, he was still a normal person, but when he saw his prey, his true face was revealed... He can no longer be described as a 'human'. He is a monster, a monster!"

At the same time, dull footsteps sounded from far away. The person coming seemed to be very large, and even the ground was shaking.

"Here he comes! He's coming!" Arthur exclaimed softly and then there was no movement. He covered his mouth tightly, fearing that his presence would be discovered.

Even Yu Lan was no exception. She took out a talisman that could conceal her aura and let the little paper man stick to herself, and then let the little paper man hide.

The heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer, accompanied by a strange and piercing laugh. That sound was not something a human could make, and it hurt Yu Lan's ears.

But in order not to be discovered, she endured it.

"Hahahahaha, sir, thanks to you, we have recently harvested a lot of materials... Of course, we have also prepared top-quality delicacies for you, I'm sure you will be satisfied."

The heavy footsteps suddenly stopped, and the harsh voice paused. After a while, he asked hesitantly, "Sir, what's wrong?"

“It smells good...”

The man called "Sir" spoke, his voice was very low, like a wild animal growling threateningly.

"It smells good?" The harsh voice hesitated, then immediately praised, "As expected of an adult! I can't hide anything from your nose! To be honest, we captured all the children from the village at the foot of the mountain, of all ages, including a pregnant woman!"

"The transformation of the cocoon is almost complete now. You can choose any age group you like. It's okay to eat one and play with the other!"

The shrill voice creaked with laughter, but Yu Lan clenched her fists.

All the children, and the pregnant women? Was Victoria in the cocoon too?

"All the children?" asked the man with a voice like an animal.

"Yes...ah no...uh, I mean, roughly..." The man who made the shrill laugh hesitated and still didn't tell the whole story.
