Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Boat Capsizes on Three Sides
I followed the gaze of the little Taoist priest, Bajian was on a branch, the whole person was lying on his stomach, with old vines wrapped around his body, and beside him, there was a female corpse hanging, this female corpse was different from the rotting corpse we saw before, she was hanging upside down, the whole person had dried up, as if she had been bloodied before her death, and now she has weathered into a human dry.

From a distance, her facial features are basically not fleshy, just like the outer layer of a palm tree, dry and coffee-colored, and her clothes are different from our ancient Hanfu, it is more agile and lively, I used to see a friend because of the performance, wearing a similar style of clothes, she is a Xinjiang dancer.
But now that Yajian is high up in the tree, I don't have time to study the identity of the dead man. Ba Jian saw that we had found his location, and he was excited to "babble", but he couldn't speak because he also had a thin vine wrapped around his neck. And now in his fatal situation, if he moves a little, he will pull the vines around his neck, and he will fall directly from the branches and hang himself.
I told him to calm down and keep his original movements, but Bajian was already so frightened that his face was pale, and the whole branch shook because of him. It's no wonder that, in addition to the dead bodies that have fallen away, there seem to be several living dead hidden next to him. These living dead are very strange, and they are not in a hurry to kill people when they are caught, for some unknown reason.
But soon the little Taoist priest gave the answer, he said that the living dead are yin things, they died tragically before they died, they did not die after death, they could not be reincarnated, and all that was left in their heads was the memory of resentment. There is a folk saying that this kind of immortal and unstiff thing will be satisfied by taking away the living because of its painful memories, and then staging the scene of its own tragic death.
When Bao Cai heard this, he was surprised and said, "This dead man is also so perverted?
Qiu Yue added: "There is indeed such a saying, I guess it won't be long before your partner will be thrown down and strangled to death." ā
"What then, the vines are full of upside-down living dead, and this tree is so tall, how can we go up?" I asked eagerly.
The little Taoist priest swept his eyes around, and finally stopped in one place, and said: "There are no living dead people on this vine, I will climb up to save Brother Wang down, you be careful yourself, these living dead are now observing us, torturing our minds, and when they are fooled, they will directly attack us." ā
"Isn't it!" cried out in horror, "Dead people still play like this?"
Qiu Yue said calmly: "Don't scream, we have already entered this ghost formation, and it is impossible to escape now, you can only pray that Master Ku to successfully destroy the bell, and we can save our lives before that." ā
I didn't want Qiu Yue to speak so darkly, but what she said was very real, I looked up at the female corpses that hung down, and the feeling of collapse in my heart came spontaneously, surrounded by so many living dead, how could we save our lives?
The most wonderful thing I think about now is that these things are not in a hurry to kill us, we still have time to survive, but face to face with them, even if they don't die immediately, the souls living in the body will almost have to be scared away, this thought, it is better to just die, don't torture yourself.
When I was depressed, the little Taoist priest had already climbed the vine, the little fire monkey was really a spiritual creature, it saw that we did not have a torch, and jumped from the branch on the side of the treasure to the upper end of the vine that the little Taoist priest climbed, which could not only dispel the living dead who were about to move, but also give light to the little Taoist. It's just that the eight cans without the fire are in trouble, and those shadows hidden behind the trees are slowly coming out, ready to attack them and give us a little deterrent.
Qiu Yue also discovered this, she took out a plum blossom-shaped hidden weapon, and said, "I don't know if I can shoot that far!" As she spoke, her arm shook, and the plum blossom dart spun rapidly, and there was no shadow.
I didn't know her purpose at first, but then I heard a few screams, and Bao Cai and I looked up, and something fell from the top canopy, and a little fallen leaves, and as the thing fell, a hole broke in the top of the impermeable tree, and a soft white light shot in, almost hitting the edge of Bajian. And it was the barrier of this light that the living corpses that were originally going to besiege Bajian shrank away. How clever Bajian was, he found that the living dead were afraid of the light, so he immediately squirmed his body, moved under the light source, and whined a few times in his mouth, seemingly anxious, asking us to hurry up and rescue.
And the female corpses who were forced to retreat did not achieve their purpose, and screamed sharply, and the cry pierced the hearts and lungs, and I covered my ears, and at the same time, all the female corpses hanging on the vines responded strangely.
The terrible thing is that the dead corpse hanging upside down on the side of Bajian also pumped the wind, her dry skin and flesh adhered to the skull, and her bare teeth made a "gurgling" sound, which made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts, not to mention the eight jians who were surrounded there, waiting to be fished.
It stands to reason that such a dead corpse should be dead, not so demonic, but as the little Taoist priest said before, these people are all things within the deadly formation, their souls are trapped, curled up in this damp and dull place, and they survive in another way that is not human or ghost.
He had previously said that this formation was called the "Ghoul Formation", which allowed the sacrificed dead to remain in the formation, and also prevented some people from accidentally breaking into the forbidden land, or coming specifically for the ancient tomb. These people will be tortured to death, and finally they will be left with resentment, and they will be encircled here, and the first people who sacrificed will become the tools of the tomb guards.
Under such a vicious circle, this place has become a place where corpses are full of grievances, and no one who steps into this place can get out alive, so the people call this kind of place "cannibal land" and "ghost pit".
Thinking of this, I shuddered, at this time, the vine where the little Taoist priest was suddenly shaking, it was a living corpse climbing on top of his vine, trying to stop halfway, the little fire monkey saw this, and hissed in a hurry.
At the same time, something happened to Bajian's side, although he hid under the light source, and those rotting corpses had no way to approach, but the vine that entangled the dead corpse happened to be the main branch of the small vine on Bajian's neck, and her struggle cost Bajian his life.
Ba Jian grabbed the thin vine around his neck, trying to ease the speed at which he was strangled and suffocated to death, but the range of movement of the dead corpse was too great, he was strangled by his neck and carried out of the branches, and his face was red. I don't know if he was a similar role to an executioner in his last life, he was retributed in this life, and those terrible things always couldn't get past his neck.
He rolled his eyes, and was pulled down with such speed that half of his body was almost in the air. Although the little Taoist priest was very anxious, but now he was too busy to take care of himself, and we were too far away from him, so we could only be down there and be in a hurry.
What's worse is that Bajian's upper body quickly broke away from the light shooting out of his head, and those rotting female corpses "giggled" a few times, slowly bypassed another branch, and crawled to the upper end of Bajian.
In the flash of light, the female corpse that was about to climb down from the vine had dived for several minutes at some point, and it was almost two or three meters away from us.
The three-way capsized the boat was torturous enough, and my heartbeat froze at once. In times of crisis, women are calmer than men. Qiu Yue stretched out her hand and led us closer to the light source, at this moment, I didn't dare to come out, and followed her back to settle down, and my face happened to touch something fluffy and itchy. I instinctively brushed my hands, at first I was scared, but now that I remembered the feel of the furry thing, my heart spasmed like an electric shock.
I glanced up in horror, and in addition to the inherent body odor of rotting corpses, I saw a strange white face of a dead man, which was particularly abrupt against the backdrop of countless black hairs!
At this moment, the distance between this face and mine was only about fifty centimeters, I was wrapped in her hair, I could not see my companion, my mind was blank, and I almost felt that I was dead.
At this critical juncture, someone suddenly pulled me out of the black hair circle, I was just in a state of complete panic, and now I was pulled by someone, and my tense nerves were broken, and my legs and feet were weak, and I knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and vomited wildly.
The person who pulled me was Qiu Yue, we were under the aperture, and the rotting corpses did not dare to approach, but their ugly faces were right in front of us, and they did not leave at all. I never thought that this little circle of light would become our last resting place, but as soon as I stretched out my feet and showed a little flaw, I would be swallowed by the darkness and decomposed by the female corpse, this scene reminded me of the movie "Interstellar Legends" starring Vin Diesel, there is such a scene in the movie, people hudded in the glimmer and monsters standing in the darkness ready to attack.
At the moment, Baocai's condition was no better than mine, and he turned pale with fright, trembling all over, and could not say a word. Bajian's side has been cornered, and he is about to fall. The little Taoist priest grabbed the vine with one hand and took out the peachwood sword with the other, ready to fight. Qiu Yue raised her eyes and looked around, and the scimitar in her hand emitted a cold glow. At this moment, in the face of unspeakable danger and restlessness, my heart wells up with despair, and I don't know what our fate will be. (To be continued.) )
