Chapter 140: The Skinner
I was shocked, and I suddenly became nervous, it was not good to meet a living creature somewhere, I had to be in this kind of place full of rotting corpses. Could it be Xiao Xiao?
"Xiao Xiao?" I shouted, but the other party still only made a "whoop" sound, as if suddenly excited, and splashed me with corpse water, and in that voice I heard the meaning of pain and resentment.
Suddenly took two steps back, this is not Xiao Xiao, but a "person" who has been skinned, but is not dead!
My hands trembled unconsciously, staring at the darkness where the sound was coming from, and I shook the corpse water from my headlamp a few times, and then turned it on a few times, and I could only see the scene within one step.
If Xiao Xiao got into that hole, he would inevitably fall here, just like me, after all, he had just crawled all the way and didn't find any forks in the road.
Picking up the backpack, he grabbed the lamp in his left hand and clutched the dagger tightly in his right hand as he slowly moved forward.
Every time I moved, the corpse water made a small sound, and the soles of my feet were full of wet and soft rotting corpses, stepping on it deep and shallow, and I only kept silently chanting in my heart: Offended, offended, trampled on your corpse, it is also a last resort, but don't come to me for revenge!
The sound of struggling "babble" was getting closer and closer, and when the light shone down, I saw a bloody "person" from head to toe, leaning against the corner of the wall, his body was full of clearly visible fat, muscles and tendons, and if he looked closely, he could even see the white bones exposed in some places.
Such a person is no longer a human being, it is like a layer of flesh pasted on a skeleton, and it feels like it will fall apart at any time.
Just got over. "He" pounced on him with his teeth and claws, and the splash of corpse water mixed with the blood on "his" body spilled all over me, half of the muscles on my face fell off, and I could see "his" brain and bones, this scene was simply scary than a 3D thriller.
I was so shocked that I immediately took a few steps back, and suddenly I was grabbed by a cold hand, and I ran in the opposite direction for dozens of steps before stopping.
"Xiao Xiao?" I lowered my voice and looked at the woman in front of me, who was also embarrassed, covered in stinking corpse water, and her clothes were close to my body. There was also some carrion on his head. Look at her. I knew I wasn't going to be much better.
She glanced behind her, but the "person" didn't chase after her, so she breathed a sigh of relief and frowned at me: "Where is this?" ”
"Cavern." sighed. I patted the lamp in my hand. Still not very visible. In this kind of place, it is almost the same as being completely blind and trying to leave. Unless I can stick to the slippery slope like a gecko, I can't climb nearly 10 meters before I have a chance to go back the way I came.
Otherwise, one can only pray that there is still a secret door.
"Are you alright?" She pointed to the wound on my leg, which had been soaked with corpse water, and the thought of the corpse water mixing with my flesh and blood made me feel sick.
waved his hand, now is not the time to care about this: "I'm fine, let's find a way to get out first." ”
The rancid smell here is so strong that it is mixed with a strong smell of blood, like pouring fresh blood on a piece of carrion, and the smell mixed together is really unpleasant.
Squatting down to look at the half-decomposed corpses, their heads almost all facing the same direction, and they seemed to have pushed each other before they died. glanced at Xiao Xiao, if it is good, go in this direction, there will be an exit.
Dragging half of his numb legs, he carefully moved in this corpse cave towards the direction of the rotting corpse, and the corpse water under his feet was only seen to be black in the blurred light, and if something popped out again, he should be caught off guard.
The sound of water kept ringing in my ears, and there were still soft and collapsed rotting corpses under my feet, I don't know how long I walked, I knew that my brain was a little swollen, and I was in a trance, and when I hit the wall, I found that it was over.
Xiao Xiao helped me up, damn it, and it was funny again.
The wall that appears in front of me is different from the other stone walls I have seen, and it is a stone gate that has been carefully repaired by hand, and it is also covered with ancient patterns, or in other words, it may be words.
I swallowed a few times and raised my hand to stroke it, these "words" seemed to have been seen somewhere, although I didn't know them, but there was an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.
Yes! It was the last time I went to Lisan, and there was also it in the cave where I went down from the sling! I remember that Wu Qianqian also gave me a camera at that time, and similar text was captured in it.
So, could it have been carved by the same person?
Somehow, he squatted down, put his hand into the corpse water, and groped for the bottom of the stone wall that had been submerged in the water, as if he knew where there would be any clues.
"Is there anything wrong with this wall?" Xiao Xiao also groped several times along the pattern on the stone wall, but found nothing.
The stone wall is about four or five meters wide, and when I felt a depression underneath, I was happy: there is a door!
glanced at Xiao Xiao and motioned for her to come over. For some reason, my vision has begun to blur a little, and even if I know that there is a light on the side, I still can't see anything clearly.
"...... this?" Xiao Xiao suddenly came to his senses, and he knelt on the ground, almost touching his face to the side, and only raised his head and asked me for a long time, "Did you bring that pair of dolls?" It's the pair you took out of the clay pot last time. ”
I was stunned, and then took out the doll from the backpack, Xiao Xiao took it, and put it directly under the corpse water, and suddenly the entire corpse cave shook a few times, and the stone gate shook violently, and fine and dense stone dust fell from above.
Before I could rejoice, the back of my neck was grabbed by a pair of sticky hands, grabbing me and hitting me against the stone wall. Instinctively, he jerked his elbow back and quickly turned around.
Only then did I realize that I don't know when, we were already surrounded, and there were three or four skinned people in the visible range, covered in flesh and blood, and extremely weird.
The stone gate slowly rose, but we were entangled at this juncture.
"Xiao Xiao! You go first! He kicked the "man" behind her, pushed her to the stone door, and swung the dagger in the opposite direction. My vision was getting blurrier and hazy, and she had to leave immediately, or I would inevitably hurt her in the process.
Although these "people" seem to be fierce and terrifying, their condition is definitely several times worse than mine, and the pain brought to them by just peeling the skin is not something that ordinary people can endure, and a little force can almost kick off their flesh and blood.
Again, the question - quantity.
No matter how hard I struggled, a pair of hands grabbed my neck and the knuckles of my fingers plunged into my throat several times.
"Bang!"
With Xiao Xiao's shot, the bullet passed through "his" left chest and shot directly into my right shoulder, and I snorted, and before I had time to have other thoughts, I immediately picked up the pair of dolls from the corpse water in the corner of the wall, turned over, and rolled to the other side before the stone door fell.
Lying on the ground and gasping for breath several times, the pain slowly spread throughout the body. (To be continued......)
