Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Maggots Reappear

Early the next morning, Lin Tao and Zhang Yue'er woke up in the thick fog, simply packed up the tent and followed Lin Tao to the place where the fat man left a mark yesterday. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"This mark was left by your friend Fat Man?" Zhang Yue'er asked with some confusion.

"Well, it's definitely him, this mark is what we have used since we played games when we were children, it is the shape of a small fish, which means that he has been here, and when ordinary people see the triangle in front of the fish head, they will definitely think that they are going in the direction of the fish head, but only I know that I have to follow the direction of the fish tail." Lin Tao explained to Zhang Yue'er with a smile, and walked in the direction of the fishtail for a while, and suddenly smelled a corpse smell.

"Be careful, someone is dying nearby." Lin Tao looked around cautiously.

Zhang Yue'er nodded, and took out a very delicate small dagger from her bag to defend herself.

Lin Tao couldn't help sneering when he saw it, took out a silver machete from his bag in front of Zhang Yue'er, and shook it in front of Zhang Yue'er: "See, you have to use this outside, you haven't hurt anyone in such a short time, so you will hang up first." ”

Zhang Yue'er glanced at Lin Tao without speaking, and quietly followed behind him.

"Be careful, the smell is getting stronger." After Lin Tao finished speaking, he frowned, and the wind around him blew the thick fog and moved in front of him, making the things in front of him seem real and illusory.

Suddenly, Zhang Yue'er pulled herself, and Lin Tao turned her head and looked at the place she pointed, in the mist, several people were swaying in the air, not knowing what they were doing.

"You wait for me here, I'll go over and have a look." Lin Tao nodded at Zhang Yue'er, climbed the stone again, lay on it and looked forward, a corpse in the fog was falling on a branch and being swayed by the wind, but his face was all blackened with blood, and he couldn't see his face clearly at all.

Just as Lin Tao seemed to climb down, there was a sudden slight sound from under the corpse, which made Lin Tao's newly propped arms go down again.

Take a closer look at the same corpse below, but it has been decomposed, the body and skull have been separated, and there is the same corpse next to it, it seems that it has been dead for a while, it is very likely to be the fifth master's person, it is really pitiful to expose the corpse in the wilderness like this, Lin Tao just thought about it, the sound he heard just now came out again, and a huge maggot came out of a corpse, white as if he was sniffing something, suddenly looked in the direction of Lin Tao, and made a low sound.

It's not good, it's a Gu worm, only a Gu worm will have such a sound, otherwise it won't be so loud, and it can still make a sound.

Sure enough, a lot of maggots quickly drilled out of the corpse in front of them, some big and some small, and quickly crawled towards their location, the speed made Lin Tao staggered, is this still maggots, they are about to catch up with the mouse for a walk.

Lin Tao didn't dare to delay any longer, turned around and jumped off the stone, and then pulled Zhang Yue'er to run away along the mark left by the fat man, for fear that those maggots would catch up.

The two of them panted and ran all the way, and finally ran to the Dragon King Temple according to the mark left by the fat man before dark.

Lin Tao looked at the place in front of him that had been burned black like a Taoist temple, and the roof outside had collapsed, and it was black inside.

"It looks like it has just been burned, and there is still a thick smell of smoke around." Zhang Yue'er was at the door, pinched the ashes and rubbed them and said.

Lin Tao nodded and walked over, looked at the piles of ashes, stepped forward, and found a wooden stick to pick it open: "It should be some food and clothes, seeing that the packaging has not been completely burned out, it should be the fifth master and they left here, then the few corpses I saw just now should also be the fifth master's people, but I didn't expect to be killed by Gu insects here." ”

"What? Gu worm, are you sure, this is a Tibetan area, and Gu magic shouldn't have reached here, besides, this is still deep in the mountains. Listening to Lin Tao's words, Zhang Yue'er was also surprised, she and Wan Shuqin had lived in Yunnan most of the time all these years, where there was a lot of Gu Po witchcraft, but she didn't expect that even here there would be Gu worms.

"These things have all been burned, I feel that it should be made by a fat man, but I don't know why these materials were burned, but there must be a reason why he has to do that, otherwise according to his character, he will definitely be reluctant to throw these things away if he doesn't finish eating." Lin Tao said as he found a fish mark nearby again.

"Okay, let's get out of here, something must have changed here, otherwise the fat man won't burn this place down and leave, let's find the fat man, that's the most important thing." Lin Tao said and turned his head to look in the direction he came from, in fact, he already felt that those huge white maggots were already very close to the position of himself and Zhang Yue'er, and it would be too late if he didn't leave.

The fat man and Hua Dan walked carefully in the woods, at this moment what the two of them saw in front of them was completely different from what they saw in the middle of the mountainside, the outside looked like all the tall and dense trees, and after walking in, they found that the low shrubs under the tall trees had dried up into dead trees because of the lack of sunlight for a long time, strange shapes, and the fat man was full of goosebumps, and he always felt that there was a person secretly looking at him in the dark corner, but he walked over and found that it was a dead tree.

The fat man was quite cautious this time, and carved a mark on the tree every time he walked a short distance.

"You're too cautious, we've not walked a hundred meters, so you've drawn four or five marks, and the time is basically delayed."

Listening to Hua Dan's words, the fat man embarrassedly put away the small dagger in his hand, took out two machetes with a cold light from his bag, and handed them to Hua Dan.

"I'm not doing this to be on the safe side." The fat man smiled awkwardly and weighed the machete in his hand.

"Hua Dan, what should we do next?"

Hua Dan looked at the spot for a while before saying: "I don't know about this, after all, this is the Valley of the Dead, the people who came in are all dead, and basically no one comes, there is no road at all, you see that the branches and leaves of the trees above are so dense, making this place dark and damp, so I can't discern the direction at all." Hua Dan said and shook his head.

"There's no way, then we can only take one step at a time." The fat man said that he had recovered his pride, and when he saw that he was walking in front, Hua Dan followed behind him vigilantly.

The fat man raised his machete and was about to cut off a branch blocking the road in front of him, but he was suddenly grabbed by Hua Dan's arm.

"What's wrong?" The fat man turned his head and whispered in Hua Dan's ear, while a pair of eyes were still looking around.

Hua Dan didn't speak, but pinched the fat man's chin with one hand and twisted it towards the right rear of the two.

"There's movement in the trees over there." Hua Dan said, and the hand holding the fat man also trembled. (To be continued.) )
