Volume 2 The Underground Labyrinth Chapter 41 The Valley of the Devil's Eagle
"Let's go! This is the Ten Absolute Bone Coffins, wherever there is such a thing, there must be a grave keeper!" With that, Shen Xiaolang hurriedly ran towards the place where the motorcycle was parked. However, at this moment, the sound of the woman and the baby crying abruptly stopped. In its place, there was a low wail.
"Why don't you leave?" After just a few steps, Ding Xiaofan looked curiously at Shen Xiaolang, who stopped motionless in place.
"The grave keeper of the bone coffin has arrived!" As if he hadn't heard Ding Xiaofan's words, Shen Xiaolang turned out a large handful of charms from the black cloth bag, as well as copper coin swords and dried cinnabar.
Sure enough, as the wails became clearer and clearer, countless zombie-like figures crawled out from under the wordless tombstones around the gray coffin. At the same time, the coffin that was originally lying horizontally next to the pit suddenly became standing upright in the pit at this moment.
Finding that the figures around them were approaching them in an enveloping manner, Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang couldn't help but become nervous.
However, although these zombie-like grave keepers can only crawl on the ground, they are very slow. However, due to the position of the tomb keeper, the gray coffin was surrounded by the center, which also caused Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang to fall into a desperate situation with no way out.
"What's the matter, how can there be so many zombies here?and, what are the Ten Absolute Bone Coffins?" Facing the almost endless strange figures around him, Ding Xiaofan asked suspiciously.
Hearing this, Shen Xiaolang evenly applied the chewed dried cinnabar to the charm, and explained, "The so-called Ten Absolute Bone Coffins, of which the Ten Absolute Ones refer to the Ten Absolute Spells such as heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts, and life and death spirits. A bone coffin, on the other hand, is a coffin made of a large number of bone beads. ”
"As for the bone beads I am talking about, it is the bone knot in the middle of the human cervical vertebrae that looks like an abacus. So those grave keepers are not zombies, just living people who have had their bone beads removed and their six senses forcibly sealed. ”
As he spoke, Shen Xiaolang threw the spell around as if he were shooting a dart. "Bang bang bang bang ......" I only heard a violent explosion, and hundreds of charms all hit the surrounding grave keepers without missing anything.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a golden light erupt around Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang, and one-third of the tomb keepers suddenly turned into a thick black smoke under the swallowing of the golden light, and then dispersed with the wind.
"Not good! the spell has run out!" muttering to himself, Shen Xiaolang prepared to untie the cinnabar rope on the copper coin sword, trying to use the twenty-six bronze coins used to weave the copper coin sword as a hidden weapon.
"Woo woo woo ......" But at this moment, another cry sounded in the bone coffin. However, this time what Shen Xiaolang heard was the crying of the baby that Ding Xiaofan said. As the crying became more and more shrill, the grave keeper's movements became swifter.
"Roar!" Before Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang could react, several of the tomb guards screamed and attacked the two of them.
But the next moment, only a sound of "Peng!" was heard, and as soon as the unlucky grave keeper approached Ding Xiaofan, he was trampled on the face by Ding Xiaofan, who jumped high.
"Bang bang bang!" With the inertia of stepping on the other party's face, Ding Xiaofan in mid-air suddenly turned sideways, and flew up three times in a row, kicking and shattering the heads of the three grave guards who tried to attack Shen Xiaolang.
"Roar at you dead bones!" Landing safely, Ding Xiaofan dusted off his body and said with a disdainful expression. However, at this moment, a gray afterimage quickly flashed behind Shen Xiaolang.
And the female grave keeper who appeared actually pulled out a complete cervical vertebrae from the bloody hole in her neck. And swung up the cervical vertebrae, which were constantly dripping with blood and covered with barbs, and slammed it towards Shen Xiaolang's head like a whip.
said that it was too late and that it was too fast, and Ding Xiaofan, who found out all this, stepped forward in time to push Shen Xiaolang aside. But then, this earth-shattering blow slammed into Ding Xiaofan's face.
I only heard a "click!", and after being hit by a bone whip full of barbs in the front, Ding Xiaofan's face was torn in half by this domineering destructive force.
"It really hurts! Why do you sneak up on me among the grave guards?" Twisting the blood-stained brain on his forehead, Ding Xiaofan sneered and suddenly tightened his right hand that grabbed the opponent's bone whip, and directly pinched a small piece of cervical vertebrae in his hand.
"It seems that Master Xiu is right, you are really difficult to entangle. However, it can only end here!" With that, the female grave keeper once again raised the bone whip that had already been restored to its original shape, like a sharp blade, and quickly stabbed it towards Ding Xiaofan's throat.
Seeing this, Ding Xiaofan sneered and grabbed the bone whip that was about to stab him with his bare hands. "Yes, that's the end of it. As soon as the words fell, Ding Xiaofan pulled the bone whip back behind him, and threw a punch that slammed into the chest of the female grave keeper.
But the strange thing is that after being hit by Ding Xiaofan head-on, the female grave keeper's chest was not injured like ordinary people. But Ding Xiaofan's fist seemed to hit the quagmire, and together with his arm, he fell deep into the other party's body.
Immediately afterward, only a commotion was heard, and the female grave keeper suddenly turned into a pool of blood and melted into the dirt under her feet. "Damn, don't want to run!" let out an angry roar, and Ding Xiaofan actually spewed a ball of hellfire directly at the blood-stained ground.
In an instant, the bamboo forest where the Ten Peerless Bone Coffins were located turned into a scorching sea of red fire. "It's useless, she's already fled. Seeing that the surroundings were gradually engulfed in hellfire, Shen Xiaolang hurriedly stopped.
"Yes, in less than seven hours, the pumpkin juice in the fridge will be out of service. I think it's better to find medicine first. At this moment, the voice of a doctor was heard not far away. Hearing this, the two of them looked in the direction of the entrance of the bamboo forest.
How did he know that I had squeezed the pumpkin into juice and put it in the refrigerator? Looking at the doctor who was stepping on the corpse of the grave keeper and leisurely playing with the scalpel, Shen Xiaolang's face was full of doubts.
But what made him feel even more incredible was that the doctor came here and cleared out hundreds of grave guards, and he and Ding Xiaofan never found out! Fortunately, this guy is not an enemy! Otherwise.... Thinking of this, Shen Xiaolang's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
"Let's go, what are you thinking? Didn't you say you were looking for some medicine?" Seeing Shen Xiaolang standing in place with a dull gaze, Ding Xiaofan hurriedly snapped his fingers in front of his eyes.
"Oh oh! yes, let's go. Hearing the snap of his fingers, Shen Xiaolang came back to his senses and ran out of the bamboo forest with Ding Xiaofan and the doctor.
"Boom!" I heard a loud noise behind me, and at the moment when Ding Xiaofan and his party ran out of the bamboo forest, a violent explosion occurred in the bamboo forest. Immediately after, a strong shock wave almost knocked everyone out of the bamboo forest to the ground.
"Oops, now we're going to have to hike to the Devil's Eagle Valley. Looking at the raging fire, Shen Xiaolang sighed. So in this way, under the leadership of Shen Xiaolang, Ding Xiaofan and the others had no choice but to walk towards the so-called Ghost Eagle Valley.
Without the help of transportation tools, the progress of Ding Xiaofan and others suddenly slowed down a lot. But despite this, after five minutes of non-stop travel, the scenery around Ding Xiaofan and his party gradually changed from a wilderness to a wild ridge.
But not long after, Shen Xiaolang, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped. "The front is the legendary mass grave, and it is a thousand-year-old grave, everyone should be careful. Pointing to a huge mass grave not far away, Shen Xiaolang reminded with a heavy face.
"And to go to the Devil's Eagle Valley, you have to go through this mass grave in front of you. Of course, the mandala, one of the four medicinal herbs I am looking for this time, can only be found on Huangquan Road or in a place like this where yin qi is extremely strong. ”
While explaining, Shen Xiaolang carefully opened the parasol and took out the compass from the black cloth bag to explore the way.
"Woo woo woo ......" But at the moment when the front feet of the three of them just stepped into the range of the mass grave, Ding Xiaofan suddenly heard a burst of women's crying.
Unlike in the bamboo forest, this time he heard not only one person crying, but the sound of a group of women crying at the same time. Other than that, this cry sounds extremely miserable, and people can't help but feel a little creepy.
"Do you hear the woman's crying? Walking on the path in the middle of the mass grave, Ding Xiaofan asked inexplicably. However, in the face of Ding Xiaofan's inquiry, Shen Xiaolang and the doctor's answers were different.
"The woman's cry? No, I just heard a gust of wind. After that, Shen Xiaolang looked at Ding Xiaofan who was covered in cold sweat suspiciously.
At this time, the doctor immediately retorted, "No, what I heard was neither crying nor wind." It's the sound of a group of women laughing at a shrill laugh together. But at this moment, Ding Xiaofan could no longer hear the voices of Shen Xiaolang and the doctor talking.
Because he found himself in an eerie, dungeon-like place. I saw that this was a rectangular space. Not only that, but everywhere the eye can see, there are crosses stained with dark red blood.
Without exception, on each cross was a young woman who was naked and covered in blood. In addition to the terrifying scene in front of Ding Xiaofan's eyes, the environment here was also very dim and damp, and even filled with the smell of blood that had dried up for a long time.
At the end of the dungeon there are four separate cells, all made of fine iron. And every cell door was covered with the same dark red blood stains as on the cross, and at the top of each cell was a bloody female corpse.
In addition, no matter where he went, Ding Xiaofan's ears were always surrounded by women's screams and wails. "Click! Click!" At that moment, he suddenly heard a sound similar to bones hitting the ground.
Searching for the source of the sound, he walked towards the innermost part of the dungeon, and it didn't take long for Ding Xiaofan to come to the door of the only cell made of rough stones and thick wooden boards that was not hung by anyone.
Looking through the crack in the cell door, he saw a gray coffin in the pitch-black cell, exactly like the coffin in the bamboo forest. The strange sound he heard was made by the coffin hitting the ground as it jumped.
However, in addition to the constantly beating coffin, Ding Xiaofan also saw a scene like hell. That is, next to the Ten Absolute Bone Coffins, dozens of rusty iron chains were scattered, as well as an even greater number of mutilated skeletons.
I saw that the shackles and chains that had been used to lock the prisoners were still hanging on the walls of the cells, and there were only two bones that looked like human arms left in the iron rings of one of the shackles. It can be seen that the people here are not emaciated to death in prison, but tortured into skeletons.
Compared with the mass graves with towering tombs and the sound of crows, Ding Xiaofan felt that this place was more in line with the oppressive atmosphere of the mass graves.
"Whew!" But just as Ding Xiaofan was about to escape from this strange dungeon, a cold wind suddenly passed through the entire corridor ten zhang away. "Hey, hey, uh-hahaha!" Immediately afterward, a burst of women's laughter came from all around.
These shrill laughter mixed with the screams and cries of the women who constantly surrounded Ding Xiaofan's ears, and the sound of bones hitting the ground, forming a continuous and creepy strange sound.
The sound of the wind, the cry, and the laughter of a woman! Recalling that when he was in the mass grave, Shen Xiaolang and the doctor answered completely differently, Ding Xiaofan couldn't help but feel his heart sink suddenly.
"Click, click, bang!" As the sound of bones hitting the ground got closer and closer, the gray bone coffin, which was still beating in place, had already jumped to the door of the cell. He even began to pound on the wooden patchwork and somewhat decaying prison doors.
Seeing this, Ding Xiaofan desperately ran in the direction behind him, trying to escape from this terrifying place. But at this moment, the only light bulb on the roof of the dungeon that still emitted a faint light suddenly went out.
And just like that, the whole dungeon was suddenly plunged into darkness. As everything fell into darkness, the strange sound that Ding Xiaofan had been hearing in his ears also stopped abruptly, and the surroundings instantly became quiet.
After a few moments, I heard only a "pop!" sound, and the light bulb that had just been extinguished flashed a faint orange light again. But despite this, Ding Xiaofan's nervousness did not calm down at all, but added a lot of frightened looks.
Because at the same time as the light was restored in the dungeon, Ding Xiaofan saw the gray bone coffin that was close to the door in front of him.
In addition, he was horrified to find that both the girl who was tied to the cross and covered in blood, and the corpse of the woman who was hung from the top of the cell door by the neck, all opened their eyes and stared at him with a dead smile.
And the most important thing is that in the face of this terrifying scene, Ding Xiaofan found that he couldn't sense the demonic power in his body at all!
Moving the scene away from the dungeon, in front of a cave with almost sealed entrances with vines and weeds, three figures are standing at this time. These three figures were none other than Shen Xiaolang, the doctor and Ding Xiaofan, who had come here to look for medicinal materials.
"Now that we have successfully obtained the mandala, the oxtongue grass, the thousand-year-old corpse fungus, and the eyeballs of the devil's eagle must be found in this devil's eagle valley. As he spoke, Shen Xiaolang pulled out the machete hanging from his waist and slashed the vines at the entrance of the cave.
So, after Shen Xiaolang cleared the vines at the entrance of the cave, Ding Xiaofan and the others turned on the strong flashlights prepared in advance, and successively stepped on the road paved with countless wreckage, and walked into the gloomy Devil's Eagle Valley.
What made Shen Xiaolang feel strange was that not long after they stepped into the mass grave, Ding Xiaofan, who had always been talkative, became unusually silent. However, in addition to this change, Shen Xiaolang felt that Ding Xiaofan was more like a completely different person.
But he only wanted to find the remaining three medicinal materials as soon as possible, and Shen Xiaolang didn't notice Ding Xiaofan's eyes, which had long since lost their luster and had become hollow and gray.
As soon as I stepped into the valley, a strange cold wind whistled by, making people feel a chill down their spines unconsciously. But what really makes the scalp tingle are the skeletons that can be seen everywhere, as well as the various poisonous insects and poisonous snakes that are gnawing on the skeletons.
Of course, Shen Xiaolang was not afraid of these. Instead, they were oval-shaped dots of light that shimmered silver and shimmered in the cracks of the surrounding stone walls, more numerous than poisonous insects and poisonous snakes. And those silver points of light, each of which represents a ghost-headed eagle.
