Chapter 968: Bone Passage
It adds up to more than half a hundred, so many, a large piece of hulala, and Maria can be said to be singing and dancing happily. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info who dares to go out now? Although this creature can't run fast, it doesn't mean that its attack power is weak, and Cheng Qianxun and Rudolph can only watch Maria being taken away by the dwarfs.
It should be night, and the light projected through the gap is getting less and less.
I didn't dare to light the torches, because I was going to make a sneak attack, and I said that I would bring Mary back. Regardless of what will happen, at least for now, the mission continues, and it proves that it is still alive.
"Wait a little longer, and you'll be able to see it." Rudolph reminded softly, and the two of them sat in a cold, damp corner, holding the pre-prepared roast meat and slowly nibbling it, and from time to time there were unknown insects crawling around them. Anyway, there is still food, and I am afraid that this black crustacean insect is poisonous, so I let them go.
When the meat is finished, it is dark all around, and it is time to go. At this time, the eyes also adjust to the surrounding environment, as if in a dark room, and the outline of things can be seen even in the slightest dim light.
The two men walked slowly and gently along the route taken by the dwarf in the afternoon. Rudolph stopped from time to time, crouched down to check the ground situation, looked for clues, footprints on the ground, and determined the correct direction.
Don't worry about holding a torch, because there is a torch erected on the other side of the hole in the front. From a distance, I saw something white under the torch, and when I walked in, I was terrified. They were all skeletons.
Looking at the size of the skeletons, they should be those dwarfs. They may be buried when they die, they may be placed somewhere, until the flesh and skin are rotten, cleaned, and then a layer of similar transparent grease as a protective layer, according to the standing posture, a tool is loaded, and placed here.
The smell was too heavy, and the skeletons of the same aliens stood there, with two deep eye sockets, black rumbling, and torches that flickered from time to time, and I really couldn't imagine that these dwarfs could still sleep at night by putting the bones of their ancestors in the entrance and exit passages.
Rudolph glanced at her, obviously there was no need to say any words of comfort, after so many things, how could a person who had stepped on thousands of corpses still give up his actions for the sake of these skeletons?
The two continued to walk slowly, and after walking for a while, Rudolph stopped and looked left and right.
She also found a problem: "It's getting taller. "Yes, the skeleton seems to be getting taller and taller, the skeleton at the entrance of the cave is only three feet, but after walking for a while, the skeletons on both sides are already four feet. And the long arms like monkeys are also shortened, and the rickets have a straight spine...
The further forward it went, the skeleton's size increased further, reaching five feet, which was almost close to the normal human height... Rudolph seemed to understand something: "It could be a consequence of inbreeding." ”
In the cave for a long time, isolated from the world, if you want to continue, you can only breed by close relatives. As long as he doesn't die, he will continue, and after a few generations, a new dwarf creature will be created, which is no longer the same size and appearance as humans.
She was a little worried: "Won't you treat that girl as a human species?" "Although Maria is stupid, she is still a normal, well-developed little girl in appearance, and she is also at the right age.
"Perhaps." Rudolph replied calmly: "That is better, she can't die for a while." ”
In order to raise offspring, this woman must be left behind. Perhaps this is the reason why these dwarves are so elated, and if no new blood is replenished, their race may be too degraded in a few generations to die out.
If it's true, Maria is going to be unlucky, then she can only admit it, anyway, as long as she lives.
"Oh, oh, oh... Before I could reach the hole in front of me, I heard a sharp and neat scream.
Sneaking through the cave wall, there was a larger cave inside, and the torches and bonfires illuminated the cave red and warm. Mary was sitting cross-legged on a man-made earthen platform flanked by two braziers. And about thirty or forty dwarfs knelt in front of her, with their long arms raised at either side of their ears, and bowed and shouted. It would be like prostrating Mary as a queen or a god.
And Maria obviously enjoyed this treatment as well, sitting there decently, practicing the "channeling" for more than ten years finally came into use.
Is this stupid girl a fool or is she finally smart enough to deter these dwarfs?
After the dwarf had bowed, one of the older ones stood up, and by the few hairs on the top of its head, mostly gray, and the wrinkles on its ET-like face, it was supposed to belong to the older ones here.
It muttered, and the dwarfs dispersed.
A few of the elves came forward and covered Mary with tattered blankets and hides from nowhere, while the other dwarfs went to sleep next to each other on the surrounding haystacks.
Is it sleeping, but how can I get Mary out? Seeing the dwarfs lying in the cave, it was impossible not to alarm any of them to walk in, and they had to continue to wait at the entrance of the cave to find an opportunity.
Anxious, Maria stood up, and immediately the dwarfs lying next to her also woke up, and not only that, but the other dwarfs also woke up a lot.
Maria didn't seem embarrassed, her face was slightly red, and she couldn't understand the language, and it was useless to explain for a long time. Finally she thought of a way to hold her stomach in pain. Not necessarily for the tuba, but at least it shows that there is an internal urgency.
The dwarfs finally understood, but they didn't seem to intend for her to settle in the cave, but instead sent two dwarfs to lead her to the entrance of the cave.
Cheng Qianxun and Rudolph looked at it, and there was a hole next to it, it was possible that the dwarfs were convenient to go there, which was equivalent to a toilet. The cave is a place to sleep, and it is not convenient to give it, and it is impossible to be convenient here in a passage full of ancestral bones, so there is only to go there. The two men then jumped in first.
Sure enough, this is a convenient place, or also a place to get water. There was an underground stream that flowed, and on both sides of the stream were footprints. These dwarfs should be handy for running water, as evidenced by the fact that there are still a few pieces of poop in the water that have not yet been washed away.
They had found a place to hide, and as soon as they had taken cover, Maria and the two dwarfs came.
Mary said thank you, but the dwarf didn't leave. But judging from the "accessories" on their bodies, one is a woman and the other is a man, and they work without distinction between men and women, because they are all about the same size, and they are all dwarfs.
The two dwarfs looked at each other, then turned away and walked out of the cave, seemingly respecting Maria's privacy. (To be continued.) )
