Chapter Twenty-Five: Something in the Dark

After the poisonous snake disappeared, the road in front of me finally cleared the obstacles, but I wondered why the witch who had chased us and did not let us into the ancient tomb would suddenly turn against us, I wanted to ask, but looking at her cold, ignoring the appearance of others, she forced her question into her stomach, for fear that this sister would be unhappy and summon some poison to deal with us.

However, after the meerkat retreated into the forest, the shrine maiden offered to go into the tomb with us. This made me suspicious, secretly thinking about what kind of medicine is sold in this girl's gourd, just now it was clearly said that it was to disturb the peace of the ancestors, and it would be cursed, but now the attitude has changed dramatically, I thought that this concept should be deeply rooted in her mind, and now she has broken it herself, why?

This matter is a mystery stirred up by a cloudy and uncertain woman, but Chen Yu and Bao Caifei made fun of me on the side, saying that the Miao girl is very infatuated, and after I saved her again and again, the love flame in her heart jumped wildly, so I must follow the favorite Langjun up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire. I listened to his analysis, and glanced at the cold and arrogant witch, and at this time her eyes happened to be looking at me as well, and I smiled at her, and she quickly turned her head away, and returned to the cold appearance she had when she first met.

Seeing her face change quickly, I smiled bitterly, thinking that what I like is the kind of gentle and lovely girl, and it will not be such a poisonous woman like a snake and scorpion. With this thought, I put the joke of Chen Yu and Baocai behind me.

After a short rest, the eight of us returned to the deep pool, although those terrifying poisonous snakes disappeared, but I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something, I always felt that my body was hairy in this water, as if those red flame alchemy did not run far, but was hidden underwater, waiting for us.

I slid unnaturally, and it wasn't until I got close to the waterfall that the ancestor led us into the first level of water curtain that I had a sense of groundedness.

The mouth of the cave is large, but it is not easy to climb up, because there is a lot of blue-gray and fishy mucus on its walls. After dipping my hand, I washed some of it off with waterfall water in disgust. Bao Cai was the same as me, he looked at the sticky slip on his hands, and then exclaimed, "Damn, there is a parasite similar to Schizocephalus in this liquid!"

When I heard about the larvae, I suddenly felt sick to my stomach, and then I looked at the milky white and transparent long wriggling worm body in my palm, and I sped up the cleaning speed. Because when I was in junior high school, one of my classmates ate an undercooked frog, and the parasite went into his brain with his blood, and then he had a high fever, vomited, and almost lost his life.

The ancestors did not know the dangers of the larvae, but after our brief explanation, they also realized the importance of it.

Now that the clean-up is over, the little snakes in the carrion follow their parents' example and hiss at us. This kind of natural cold-blooded wildness makes people shudder.

The shrine maiden looked sadly at the two corpses and refused to leave, and I looked at her with red eyes and comforted her. The old ancestor saw her thoughts, and in order to repay her for saving her life just now, he removed the poisonous snake from the corpse, and then carefully transported the two corpses outside the waterfall.

The funeral rites of the Miao people are more complicated, and many burials are carried out, and now everything can only be simplified. We dug a pit for her two older brothers and buried them alive. Although the tomb looks simple, it is better than them becoming a parasitizing place for poisonous snakes in the snake's den.

The shrine maiden gave her brother a ritual of guiding the way of the undead, and after that, the few of us re-entered the "Water Curtain Cave".

There is no sunlight in the cave, so the light is not good, Liang Jiu and Chu Ba prepared torches, but the ancestor did not let them use it immediately, saying that there is still a touch of light now, and when it is more inside, use this fire.

Be careful to walk past where the snake was staying, it was damp inside, and there was a chilly feeling. This cave is a limestone cave, which exists because of the flow of groundwater, and then dissolves over a long period of time, turning into this deep and dangerous form.

The further we went, the stronger the disgusting stench, in ancient times there were no good gas masks, all the tools for tomb robbing were very rudimentary, and the face covering resources we used were all cut off and soaked in water. Now seeing that almost no one in the entire team is wearing full clothes, I laugh at myself: This tomb is really sad.

The light began to slowly retract...... Everyone's breathing became heavy and obvious in the darkness, and now I could only faintly see the curves of my ancestors' bodies, but I couldn't see the wrinkled crevices around me. There was only a feeling of hair, and with a kind of emptiness that fit the skin on my body, it penetrated into the bones.

We were already inside, and although I couldn't believe it, I was really in the same tomb with my ancestors, which was a little exciting and a little scary for me as a first-time tomb visitor. Because in the bizarre incidents of tomb robbery reported in our time, many people experienced unprecedented death threats in the tombs: poison gas, yin soldiers, zongzi...... A large number of evil creatures were waiting for us inside, and I swallowed my saliva, and my anxious mood was self-evident, as if I would touch a dry and bloodless corpse with a single stretch of my hand.

As we fumbled forward, there was an intermittent sound in the air that resembled a broken bone, a crisp and eerie sound. Judging by the dispersion of its sounds, the place we are now must be an open area of the cave.

"How...... What's going on? Why does this sound so terrible?" "Baocai is beside me, and his face is dark at this time, and his eyes are still a little cold, and he looks a little scary.

I listened with my ears pricked up, and in addition to the irregular wheezing of a few of us, there was also the sound of water droplets......

The old ancestor told us to stop, saying that it was a bit strange here, and then asked Chu Ha and Liang Jiu to prepare for the fire.

While waiting for the light source, Chen Yu said, "What does it smell like here, it smells so bad!" he grumbled and sneezed loudly. In fact, he was allergic to many smells since he was a child, such as the smell of women's perfume, and the smell of garbage. But where we are now, this smell is something I've never smelled before.

At this moment, the little Taoist priest who had been silent spoke up, and he calmly said to Chen Yu: "It's the smell of death!"

Hearing this answer at first glance, Bao Cai gasped and smiled in panic: "Little Heavenly Master, don't scare me, we are all living people here, how can we smell of dead people?"

"It's not our ......," the little Taoist priest said in a deep voice, with a hint of caution in his words.

There was a chilling chill in the air, and the answer was so terrible that we looked around and wanted to see through the darkness. As I searched for the source of the sound, I caught a glimpse of a cold white object, like a human claw, that flickered in front of me, a little unreal.

Just when I wondered if I was wrong, Bao Cai suddenly exclaimed, "Who, who patted me on the shoulder!" and my goosebumps stood up when he screamed.

And at this moment, there were more and more gurgling sounds around us, and they came from in front of us, somewhere in the cave. I panicked, the fire was still not lit, Chen Yu urged. With trembling hands, I pulled out my lighter, but because I was nervous, I lit it several times and it didn't work.

"Something! something's here!" said the Old Ancestor eagerly, drawing his scimitar in his hand. When the flame of the lighter jumped up, I saw a cold white figure suddenly pounce on us, too fast to catch it.

"Damn!" Chen Yu scolded angrily, and the thing directly threw him to the ground. I heard him scream, and I just watched the thing lying on top of him, white all over, and a few sticky and slightly wet hairs were faintly visible on his head. They are dressed in tattered clothes, with long fingers and no flesh.

He scratched Chen Yu several times, and the pain was so painful that he was heartbroken, and he shouted in his mouth: "Fuck you!" In the flash of light, he picked up a stone and smashed it on the head of the thing, and with a violent thud, the head of the thing finally shattered.

"Phew!" Chen Yu spat out a mouthful of blood foam and asked, "What is this?"

Baocai shuddered: "Who ...... Who knows...... It looks like a human being, but it doesn't look like a ......."

"It's a very fierce dead man!" the little Taoist priest said lightly.

I gasped, only zongzi can be called a fierce dead man in this world, but that thing didn't look like a zombie or something like that. I swallowed my saliva and was about to ask the little Taoist, only to hear another scream - it was Baocai, who had been caught by something in the darkness and was now being dragged deep away.

Seeing this, the little Taoist priest immediately rushed over, and in the dim light, I saw one white shadow after another. This was followed by a commotion as I held up a lighter, my heart pounding, and my left side ...... There was a terrible cry on my left side, it belonged to the shrine maiden, she had been attacked! For a moment, my mind was in a mess with the current situation, and even my breathing was irregular.

Soon, there was also movement on the ancestor's side, and I heard Liang Jiu's voice, he was scolding the ancient Chinese language, and seemed to be forced into a desperate situation.

I was a little unsteady on my feet, and I pulled out my gun from my waist in a panic, but in this situation, I definitely couldn't shoot accurately. I stepped back in infinite despair, accidentally tripping over the bulging ground. When I fell, my lighter fell to the ground, and I was about to reach out to pick it up, when a dead man's bone face suddenly appeared in front of me, which was more yin and terrifying than the average skull.

I was so frightened that I retracted my hand, and now it looked at me as if it was grinning, and I was stunned for a moment, and when I realized what I was up against, I screamed, and the bullet pierced through his skull, and it thumped twice, and the thing's head smoked and fell mechanically to the left, but soon it returned to its original position.

The creepiest thing was that its hollow eyes stared at me slyly, like a sinister clown, and I cried out in my heart: this thing was a skeleton, without brains, without flaws, unless I had a sledgehammer to knock it apart!

However, the reality is always cruel, and at the moment when I was so frightened that I couldn't possess my body, the thing stretched out its slender five fingers, aimed at my chest and pulled it a few times like ploughing the land, I screamed in pain, and kicked my foot violently, because I kicked a little crazy, so a lot of blood came out of my chest in the writhing. I took a breath and calmed down to see that I had kicked the thing so that my parents didn't even recognize it, but before I could stand up, two more skeletons were coming towards me.

Nima's, endless! I clutched my chest and hurriedly got up, and just as the thing reached out in front of me, a black figure grabbed the skeleton's head and turned it to the left, only to hear a clatter, and the skeleton's stand fell to the ground with a thud, losing its ferocity.

"How's it going?" asked the Ancestor, gasping for breath.

I nodded with difficulty, and reluctantly smiled, "It's almost ...... I'm almost going to have to be pulled out of my heart!"

"You follow me, these things are very evil, I'm afraid you can't deal with them now!"

Under the faint light of the fire, the figure of the old ancestor was elongated, and I saw that he was also injured, but I didn't expect that in this case, he still had the energy to take care of me, I was moved, and an unprecedented sense of security spread throughout my body. I replied and smiled faintly, and the family affection that had been separated by more than a thousand years burned in the cold cave.

At this time, there were more and more gurgling sounds around us, like a large wave of dead corpses slowly resurrecting after we broke in, and according to the sounds, there were so many of these things that it was unimaginable.

Before they entered the state of mass attack, a few of us slowly gathered. It's just a sudden fight just now, and everyone was injured to varying degrees, and even the witch was caught with several bloody wounds. The only thing we can be thankful about now is that the fire was finally lit on the eighth day of the first month, but after the light appeared, several of us looked at the scene in front of us, and we were all speechless in shock!
