CHAPTER XVII

"Isn't it good to burn something?"

Wu Liang and the rest of the soldiers were shocked again, and looked at the two of them inexplicably.

After a few soldiers with a slightly irritable personality were shocked, they scolded directly:

"Hey, you two are fat, and you two are still panting!"

"I warn you two, don't mess around anymore, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!"

"You two owe a beating, don't you?"

As he spoke, someone had already rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and beat someone.

"Wait!"

Wu Liang hurriedly stopped them, stared at the two people in front of him who were writhing and wailing in pain, and said with some unbearable but worried, "The situation of these two people is a little strange, it doesn't look like they are pretending, it's best not to step forward easily, first figure out the situation before making a decision." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Liang suddenly thought of something.

Liquid!

The only thing these two men have in common is that they are contaminated with an unknown liquid at the same time!

As for what exactly those liquids are, it is not yet possible to determine.

The only thing that is certain is that although there are many places in the tombs excavated in this rock, it is only seepage, and there is no place where there is such a large amount of water that can leave so many water stains on two people in an instant.

Don't...... Is it really the liquid problem?

"What can be weird? These two people kept saying that they were burned, but they didn't even see a spark on their bodies, so they were clearly doing a trick! ”

A sturdy soldier scolded.

However, after listening to Wu Liang's words, he didn't approach easily, but pushed aside everyone and turned Changge in his hand, and stabbed the two soldiers who were still rolling and calling for help with a wooden handle: "Hey, you two, don't pretend, if you pretend again, I'll really turn my face." ”

That's when it happened.

"Woohoo——!"

There was another soft sound.

I saw a small column of water suddenly fall from the sky, and it shot right on this strong soldier, pouring it from the top of his head to his chest.

"Phew! What kind of water is this, it smells so damn heavy! ”

The strong soldier didn't have time to take precautions, not only did he have water in his mouth, but even his eyes were not spared, and he wiped his face in annoyance and cursed angrily.

However, at the same time.

The rest of the soldiers looked at the dome not far away in horror, and they all took a few steps back!

Wu Liang's reaction was similar, his pupils constricted and he looked in the direction where the water column was coming.

I saw that on the dome sealed by the cypress plank, I didn't know when it was hanging upside down...... Monster!!!

The monster was covered in pitch-black scales, not much different from a medium-sized dog, with two slender ears, a lion-like mane on its neck, two front paws resembling eagle's claws, and sharp nails embedded in cypress planks.

And the most terrifying thing is the monster's blood-red eyes!

It was a pair of severely bulging eyes, the eyeball was almost out of the socket, as if it could fall out at any time, and even the blood vessels and nerves located behind the eyeball could be seen.

And this time.

Wu Liang and the soldiers finally found the source of the liquid, and the water column came from between the monster's legs, and it was actually its urine......

"Mother, what is this!?"

The soldiers were completely panicked, and someone asked in a trembling voice.

“……”

Wu Liang didn't answer, because he didn't have any clue either.

Immediately afterwards, the screams of the strong soldiers came at the same time: "Ahhhh It hurts me! I felt like my whole body was on fire, what the hell was going on? Come and save me! Help me! ”

Wu Liang and the others looked over, only to see that the strong soldier had also fallen to the ground in pain, and the struggle and twist were even more intense than the two soldiers before.

On the contrary, the two soldiers from earlier fell silent, lying on the ground motionless.

"Boom!"

A crispy sound.

The bronze helmet on the head of one of the soldiers fell off, and a shriveled and rotting face appeared in front of everyone.

Turbid and viscous blood was slowly gushing out from the seven orifices of that face, and a pungent smell of rotting corpses permeated the tomb, not only the soldiers were familiar with this smell, even Wu Liang was not unfamiliar with it, because the battle-hardened "talented brother" had smelled it.

But here's the problem......

Just a few breaths ago, the soldier was still alive and kicking in front of them, and in such a short period of time, even if he died, it would not be possible to rot and dry up to such an extent!

Even in the hottest of summers, it would take months for corpses to look like this, right?

The crowd was in fear and wondered.

But seeing that the sturdy soldier suddenly stopped moving, it happened that his dead face was facing everyone, and it began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye in front of everyone.

First, the skin on the face sags, and the mold is starting to break down the cells under the skin.

Immediately afterwards, it quickly swelled, as if the balloon had been blown up, and entered the legendary state of "giant view".

Then, as the state of "Giant View" disappeared, the corpse quickly dried up again, and muddy blood mixed with organs dissolved by bacteria slowly poured out from the seven orifices......

The whole process was as if time had accelerated on him.

At this time, when I looked back at the dead soldier before, he had already completely turned into a dried corpse, and if I hadn't seen this change with my own eyes, I would probably have thought that he had been dead for several years.

"......!?"

It was this scene that made Wu Liang suddenly think of some allusions.

There is a cloud in "Ji Rhyme": "Qiang, the name of the beast, like a dog, cannibalism." ”

There is also a record in "Yan Exposure Talk": "The lion is afraid of it, and the cover is rotten when he drowns his body." ”

Combining the characteristics recorded in these two allusions, the name of the monster in front of it is already called: it is like a dog, eats people, and will immediately rot when its urine touches its body!

Isn't this the legendary "犼"!?

In addition, Wu Liang has other clues to corroborate:

The golden jade clothes of the people in the tomb were torn open from the inside out, and the bones in them disappeared, and the mausoleum is a "hidden eye" terrain that is not suitable for men to bury, so it is very likely that some kind of mutation will occur......

"Continuation of the Silence" once recorded: "The corpse becomes a drought at the beginning, and then it becomes a stubborn." ”

Extrapolating from this, Wu Liang's conclusion is almost certain.

At that time, Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, was buried in the tomb, and due to the influence of the terrain of the "inner hidden circle", his corpse finally changed, and he turned into a drought and was trapped in the golden jade clothes.

Later, the drought changed again, and finally escaped from the golden jade clothes in the form of a "calf", but was trapped in the tomb and could not survive.

Now that Wu Liang led the army of the people to break through the tomb, it was destined to collide.

It's just that although the name of this monster has been deduced, Wu Liang is still at a loss.

Because none of the ancient books he knows mentions the weakness of "Qian", let alone the specific method of dealing with "Qian".
