Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Chosen Sacrifice
Seeing this, the old ancestor carefully pulled me away, and everyone leaned against the Spirit Tree, vigilantly watching more and more mutated corpses breaking through the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info just as our nerves were crumbling, there was a bang, and some huge shadow fell on it, smashing directly on the heads of several walking carrions.
The moment came too fast, my heart rose to my throat, and the old ancestor covered my mouth until my breathing was stable, and then slowly let go. I gasped as the carrion turned into a puddle of flesh at my feet, but horribly, his spared hand still persisted behind the tree.
Just as we were setting up our own heartbeat, more shadows fell from above, and with a bang, everyone clung to the trunk of the tree, and it felt like several shots had been shot in the heart.
With the faint light of the eyes, the thing that fell from the tree turned out to be a coffin board! And after that, a few more dried rice dumplings were smashed, and they stood up with their faces on the ground, twisted and stood up, and it was estimated that their bones were broken when they fell, so one shoulder drooped, and they looked very strange.
They slowly walked towards the hole in the old tree, and in the silent procession, they obviously became the leader. These corpses were dressed in leather armor, and the ancestors said that with their clothes, they looked like the king's pawns beside the king of Chu, that is, the elite guards,
Everyone held their breath and stared, I saw that the treasure on the side of the ancestor kept staring at him, and his mouth was whining, if it wasn't for Chen Yu covering his mouth, it is estimated that he must have screamed again and again.
"What's the situation?" asked the ancestor with his mouth.
The old ancestor replied softly: "Ghost knows, take a look." ”
A dried rice dumpling fell straight from the tree, defenseless and grotesque, and if they were alive, it would be an act of collective suicide without hesitation.
At this moment, the terrifying human heads in the back room surged, and the monstrous stench made the internal organs surge violently, and they wanted to retch, but they were afraid that it would attract the attention of the moving corpses, so they could only endure it. The old ancestor was no better than me, he pinched his nose, his face was distorted, he looked disgusting to the extreme, and rolled his eyes at me a few times, and it was estimated that his face was stinky green.
And just when we were about to be stunned, the little Taoist priest actually broke out of the trunk of the tree, slowly walked into the group of corpses, and followed the first few dried corpses. I looked at his strange behavior in a daze, reacted, and cursed in my heart: "Damn! What is he going to do? Is it because the demon barrier is not light, when those rotting corpses are companions?"
I was in a hurry and wanted to drag him back, but the old ancestor reached out and pressed me against the trunk of the tree, pinched his nose and said, "You are crazy!"
Fidgety, I squeezed a voice out of my throat and said, "He's going to die!"
The old ancestor grabbed me tightly and said, "He may have mixed into the corpse group on purpose, or he may have fallen into evil again, no matter what kind of thing you have to believe in him......"
Hearing the word "believe", my body was slightly stunned, and finally nodded helplessly. At this moment, the corpse in front of us, which looked like a walking corpse, suddenly knelt down in front of us, regardless of the coffin board smashed down from above, in an orderly manner, as if this act was a shallow consciousness in their minds, like a kind of ...... My mind was in the air, could it be that they were doing some ritual?
I watched in amazement as I saw corpses still breaking through the ground in the ground. Logically speaking, they don't have any thoughts, what is the force that pulls them away?
A flash of lightning flashed through my brain, and all the details often represented a kind of inevitability. Could it be that the red light and vibration just now woke up these dead people? Did the little Taoist priest say "It's too late" because he knew that the dust beads had been activated just now? Looking at their current appearance, facing the tree behind us, could it be that they were making a pilgrimage...... What happens after the pilgrimage?
I didn't dare to think about it, but I heard the sound of muscles churning, as if someone was grinning at him...... And where this sound comes from...... My hairs stand on end, is it the face at the top of the golden tripod, which melts with the tree?
While our minds were all focused on the moving corpses, something unexpected happened, and a walking corpse grabbed Blue Magpie Creek at lightning speed. Lan Quexi screamed, and saw several corpses surround her, and they dragged her towards the central location where the golden tripod was.
The situation came very suddenly, and we leaning against the trees left our original safe positions almost at the same time, regardless of the fact that we went to save the Blue Magpie Creek. And just as I was freeing my back, a hand suddenly grabbed my shoulders and dragged me to the ground, and then a crowd of blackened corpses rushed towards me. I screamed, trying to get up but being covered by a wave of corpses......
I used to feel that my life was hard, but now I have a feeling that a catastrophe is coming, and I can no longer turn over. The thought of despair hit my whole body, and I silently closed my eyes......
Just when I gave up hope, the ancestor in front of me shouted: "Little Liuzi! Get up!"
I thought I was holding the heart of death, but when I heard the call, my brain seemed to have been struck, and I scolded myself angrily in my heart: "Feng Liu, your special mother's head was caught by the door, and it hasn't reached the last moment, why do you have to explain yourself!"
Seeing them doing their best to save me, and I don't know where the strength came from, I shouted, and suddenly overturned the carrion that wrapped me, kicked on the body of one of the corpses, and flew to grab the life-saving straw. But at that moment, a shadow lunged at me, and she suddenly grabbed my leg and tried to drag me down.
I was defenseless, I slipped down a section, my palms were so hot that it hurt, but I didn't want to live up to the life-saving grace of my ancestors, I gritted my teeth, clutched the rope tightly, and looked down, it was Miss Chu! She woke up at some point, grabbed me tightly, and said nervously: "You can't go! I feel his will, he needs you, only the flesh of the two of you can complete the ritual of the resurrection of Princess Chu and the ancestors, and then we can seek the immortal way! You can't go!"
Listening to her incoherent and natural tone, I couldn't help but feel funny, and thought to myself, "Why should I help Sima Lao Wei complete the ceremony!"
But looking at Miss Chu's original form and dark appearance, I suddenly understood why she was acting in front of me and Lan Quexi, she was already crazy in her feelings, what did she say to feel the call of Sima Lao Wei, and regarded us as the last sacrifice! Damn! The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and in a fit of rage, I shouted: "You vicious woman, don't think that Sima Lao Wei will take you to heaven if you get the Tao, you will only fall into hell in the end, and you will never be able to be reborn!"
However, this woman was already evil in her bones, and she held on to my legs, and I realized that she was living like those rotting corpses, and that she already had a violent thought in her mind about dedicating herself to the Lord, and if I had to be soft-hearted, I would probably become a victim of this thought!
I turned my eyes to the trapped Chen Di, he saw that Lan Quexi was captured by the dry corpse, desperately fighting, trying to pull Lan Quexi out of the corpse pile, but helplessly those corpses came one after another, I saw this scene, gritted my teeth, couldn't care anymore, kicked the tree trunk, controlled the body, flew over, suppressed a part of the dry corpse surrounding Chen Di, in an instant, there was a sharp pain all over the body, Chen Yu excitedly pulled me up and said: "Liuzi!"
I was wounded by an arrow before, and I was so painful that I didn't even have the strength to respond, so I directly gestured to let Lan Quexi go to the tree first. After all, Chen Yu was my hair, and he suddenly understood what I meant, and said, "I know!" As he spoke, he turned back to Lan Quexi and said, "I'll open the way, you run first!"
Lan Quexi glanced at me meaningfully, she was not a hypocritical girl, and then nodded, Chen Yu dragged her, these group of corpses saw that the target was about to run, and they were about to pounce, I grabbed one of them by the leg, and shouted: "Run!
Chen Yu turned around and glanced at me, and said excitedly: "Liuzi, you are too special and righteous!"
I was dragged a little distance by the carrion, and I was about to get up, but I felt something in the dirt below, and I realized that another corpse was coming out, and I hurriedly bent myself up. When I woke up, I found that there were still a few corpse worms on the shark leather, and I panicked and dusted off these horrible things, and now I really have nowhere to put my feet and nowhere to hide. The carrion slowly surrounded us, and there was a great tendency to leak through it.
Chen Yu also fought hard for Lan Quexi, shouting angrily, using both hands and feet, how many can knock over is a few. Lan Quexi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the two of them tried their best to get to the rope, Chen Yu squatted down, picked her up and lifted her up. At this time, he had no free hand to stop him, so he could only stand dry and was grabbed by several carrion corpses, one of which even grinned.
I had a bad premonition, and shouted, at the critical moment, I only saw a human head squeezed out of the corpse pile, he broke open the corpse group, and when he arrived at the grinning carrion corpse, he raised the Mongolian knife and stabbed it fiercely, shouting while stabbing: "Just your teeth itch, grandpa, I will make you itch, let you itch!" The person who came was the treasure, he just quietly hid in the corpse group, and saw that Chen Yu was besieged by the corpse, so he appeared.
In order not to drag Chen Yu and them down, Lan Quexi climbed the trunk of the tree vigorously. Chen Yu and Baocai held their knives, and they couldn't retreat at the moment, and they were surrounded.
Looking at such an anxious situation, I was anxious, and suddenly heard something at the upper end of the Blue Quexi making a "creaking" sound, and when I looked closely, it was actually a coffin. The lid on its head was gone, and there were two dried rice dumplings clinging to the coffin. The coffin was crumbling, and my heart moved, screaming for Chen Yu to retreat.
Lan Quexi also heard the movement and immediately got up, his back pressed against the trunk of the tree. Chen Yu dragged the treasure and gritted his teeth to turn over a few dried corpses, at this time, the old ancestor also came from the other side to help, he and I grabbed a few carrion corpses that blocked Chen Yu and Baocai's retreat, twisted their necks, and the carrion suddenly fell down weakly.
Chen Yu and Baocai had nothing to stop them, and seeing that the coffin on it was about to fall a few inches, they rushed towards me and the old ancestor regardless of it, hitting the two of us on our backs.
At the same time, there was a loud muffled sound of "bang" accompanied by the sound of meat "crackling" being smashed, and the dry rice dumplings helped us destroy our own companions! The falling coffin and the pile of crushed corpses formed a staircase that could easily reach the rope. It was like a path that God had arranged for us, and just when I was feeling so lucky, I heard a pleasant laugh again......
My heart sank, the ancestor and I had the same reaction, the two of us looked at each other, and suddenly there was a strange illusion, there was something we couldn't see helping us, the coffin that fell just now didn't seem to be because its own weight crushed the branches, it wasn't an accident, it seemed to be an inevitability, someone wanted us to escape...... I glanced at Qi Ling, she was silently on the back of the eighth year of junior high school, but she seemed to be alive.
The old ancestor was not lightly pressed by Chen Ji, coughed a few times, and said angrily: "In the future, you will be a vegetarian, and you will not eat meat, and you will be fat, and my ribs will be broken!"
Hearing what the ancestor said, my heart snorted, and I couldn't say what I felt. But we don't have time to think about it, the corpses will only increase. And it was clear that the corpse near the tree had come to arrest us as if it had been instructed to do so. Part of the outer layer is facing the mud floor, in the shape of a tree, and as expected, they are on a pilgrimage. I was worried that the little Taoist priest who followed the flow of corpses in front of me didn't know what happened to him......
