Chapter 244: Silent Waiting
Qiu Yan was dumbfounded, he heard his arteries beating like two hammers in the temples on both sides, and hurriedly looked around, but it was not there, and he panicked all of a sudden, and said in his heart What is going on, this wilderness, is it impossible to deceive the corpse, seeing so many strange things, Qiu Yan will not doubt this unbelievable thing at all now, and he is busy calling Xijiang and Li Mowu.
The two of them were stupid when they looked at it, and Li Mowu stammered. "This, this, who did it?" Suddenly, they all reflexively looked around, and they didn't know how many times they had done this action, they were all confused.
However, there was silence all around, i.e., no one was heard, and no beasts were heard. Qiu Yan immediately felt a wave of fear coming, there may not be no one else in this Fangang Relic City except for this Miao Jiang person, and there are no footprints of wild beasts in this vicinity, and the three of them know that it is impossible for anything to move this corpse under the noses of a few people, unless...
Thinking of the mysterious dream before, Qiu Yan couldn't help but have a dry throat, and said in his heart, could it be that the nightmare would come true?
The three of them had seen the world in the end, and they did not panic at this time, but immediately squatted down, rummaging for clues, trying to see what the situation was.
Under the fluorescence, Li Mowu gasped.
In the human-shaped mud pit, it turned out to be all the kind of mud marks that snakes had crawled on, densely packed and all of them, the traces were messy, obviously there were extremely many snakes crawling here, Li Mowu touched it, it was slimy, and the traces were very new, obviously they were left just now.
Li Mowu's face changed drastically, and he said in surprise. "Grandma's, could it be that cockscomb snake that moved the corpse?"
Xijiang obviously didn't believe it. "This is impossible, how can a snake take away such a heavy corpse?" But from his slowly frowning brow, it was obvious that the traces here showed that what Li Mowu said was right.
Li Mowu was speechless with a chill on his back, if this was true, this thing was too evil, Li Mowu had always had a special fear of the cockscomb tailsnake, on the one hand, because of its poison, and on the other hand, it was in the canyon hole. Later, I listened to Qiu Yan explain the legend of the god, in many, many legends, this snake's behavior is very perverse, what impressed Li Mowu the most was that the revenge of this snake was very weird, but they actually moved the corpse of the Miao Jiang people, which is really incredible.
"Of course you can't do one, but if you don't look at how many there are now, the elephants will all carry them away. Qiu Yan squatted on the edge of the mud pit, only to see that there were snake marks below, and the area in the water turned into a piece of mud, and he didn't pay attention to the light problem just now.
"But what do these snakes want corpses for?" Li Mowu said again, looking at Qiu Yan. Indeed, the corpses of the Miao Jiang people obviously cannot be used as food, and snakes are not clawed animals, so it is very difficult to transport a corpse. Snakes are not ants, so why do they want corpses?
"Then you're going to ask the snake. Qiu Yan paused and said. "But snakes are very utilitarian, they don't always do it for fun, there must be a reason.."
Qiu Yan thought about it, and his mood was depressed, the series of things just now, every one of them had no beginning or end, and all of them made people feel too bad, thinking about it a little out of control, he was turned around by a bunch of beasts, and he picked up the glow stick and said to them. "It's only been a few minutes since we came back and forth, this corpse must still be around, let's go look for it, be careful. ”
Before Qiu Yan stood up, he grabbed Li Mowu. "Look for a fart, look at the traces of at least dozens of snakes, are you looking for death. ”
Saying that, Li Mowu snatched Qiu Yan's glow stick back, and Xijiang patted Qiu Yan's shoulder, "Liang boy, a person is a human being when he is alive, and he is a thing when he dies, just a stinky skin, and he can't fight for a corpse." ”
"But it's going to be about our safety."
Li Mowu interrupted. "That's it, dead is dead, where death is not death, guard our one-third of an acre, but if I hang up another day, you will burn me, don't let these snakes go around, the devil knows what they are going to do." ”
Qiu Yan moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and his frowning brows revealed a slight struggle, and in the end he could only turn into a sigh, and he stopped talking.
Li Mowu looked at those traces and said again. "The snakes here are really evil, how many snakes do you want to move a corpse? Let's say a hundred, you think there are so many here, how many of these snakes will there be in this entire swamp? Liang Qiuyan, don't you say that this snake is almost extinct? Let's stay here, I'm afraid it's not wise, if they come back, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist for a few minutes with the few 'old, weak, sick and disabled' now. ”
Xijiang said when he heard this. "When I was young, I also encountered a lot of snakes, and I was bitten three or four times, and I am familiar with snakes. ”
When he heard this, he knew that it was a comforting word, and whoever believed it in his heart, he knew that he didn't believe it himself by looking at Xijiang's face. It's okay to say that ordinary snakes look evil, not good.
Qiu Yan put the glow sticks in the position he originally wanted to put them, but Li Mowu adjusted the direction of all the glow sticks of several people, shining on the surrounding water surface, saying that he should be vigilant.
Li Mowu's behavior made Qiu Yan immediately think of Le Jin, his eyes looked unnaturally into the depths of the darkness, the light and shadow were quietly changing, the darkness gradually filled here, and his figure also melted into the shadows, the cold breeze, passing by, seemed to blow the chill into the depths of his heart. Just like Li Mowu said, snakes are unreasonable, they will die if they bite it, and you have no problem with it. Thinking of this, Qiu Yan seemed to sigh softly, subconsciously took Xiao Li's jade finger, clenched it slightly, and then closed his eyes, the dark light under his eyes flickered, as if a trace of complicated expression flowed through.
Xijiang summed it up, and he didn't know what to do at the moment, so he had to continue to wait for Lejin, he must not dare to sleep this night, several people were back to back, looking at the four directions to change the night. It was quiet in the darkness, there was no light, no wind, no sound, and the night was like a surging black tide, surging silently, rolling like waves in front of everyone's eyes.
At this time, the time was actually not early, only a little later the sky was bright, with the light of the morning light, the depression that lasted for a night was reduced a lot, and it was a little relaxed, but Le Jin did not come back.
Qiu Yan re-examined the swamp, there was no black clouds at night, but the rain stopped, there was no sound of rain, only the sound of running water was left around, and it was still quiet. The rainforest in the distance was pitch black, and whether it was dawn or not seemed to have nothing to do with the world deep in the rainforest.
