Chapter Seventy-Seven: Cellar Horror
The small building still looked like it had just been inhabited, and there were several teacups on several tables in the hall, and even the lids were lying quietly next to the cups.
"Huh, Brother Mu, there is ...... here"
Lin Qingzhu frowned, as if he sensed something abnormal, and hurriedly looked up at Li Mu in front of him.
"That's right, I smell it too, it's blood, it's very faint, and it smells a little far away, but it's definitely blood. ”
As soon as Li Mu stepped into this small building, he felt the faint smell of blood in the air, which meant that he had not guessed wrong, there must be a clue to this series of strange things in this small building.
However, it also means that perhaps those missing villagers and passing travelers have really encountered something terrible.
Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu carefully explored the first and second floors of the small building, and found traces of many monks staying overnight, and even obtained two high-quality immortal swords, but they did not find the source of the smell of blood.
"Brother Mu, come and see, what is this?"
Lin Qingzhu's shout came from the room in the small building, and Li Mu came to the girl's side from the hall in a flash, only to see that after lifting the wooden board next to a stove, a secret door appeared in front of the two.
"It smells so strong, it should be here, judging by the location, it is a cellar used to store food and wine. ”
As soon as Li Mu approached the downward secret door, he obviously felt that the smell of blood had become very heavy, and the source was obviously in this cellar, as he got closer to the truth, the inexplicable sense of crisis in Li Mu's heart became more and more obvious.
"Qingzhu, you are on the side to assist me, I will open this secret door, if there is any danger, directly attack with all my strength. ”
Worried that the previous situation of the zombie dog would appear again, Li Mu also asked Lin Qingzhu on the side to be ready to make a move at any time, after all, the smell of blood at this time was so strong that this secret door could not be covered, and I don't know if it was an illusion, Li Mu always felt that there were still some strange sounds in this cellar.
The wooden secret door is not heavy, but the humid environment of the room makes its surface appear a slimy feel, and Li Mu tried several times before finally successfully opening the secret door.
Below the door was a dark passage, a simple staircase made of stone that snaked all the way down, and the disgusting smell of corruption mixed with the bloody smell came to his face, making Li Mu also sick to his stomach.
"This cellar is so deep, Brother Mu, you can't see anything, why don't you throw a fire down first?"
Lin Qingzhu tried his best to see the situation in the passage, but the light in the room was extremely poor, not to mention that it was even darker in the cellar.
"No, this cellar stores food all year round, and it is easy to produce ammonia, and the ...... It's a gas that will be detonated when it encounters Mars, and there should be clues in this cellar that can tell us the truth, so we can only venture down. ”
Li Mu looked at the entrance of the cellar in front of him, and struggled inwardly, the unknown risk was secondary, and the disgusting smell made Li Mu feel his stomach tumbling upside down.
"Li Mu, Li Mu, you can't let the girl go down to explore the cellar, bear with it, you can't smell it if you breathe through your mouth. ”
After doing quite enough psychological construction for himself, Li Mu stepped on the downward stone steps, turned his head and gave Lin Qingzhu, who looked nervous, a reassuring look, and then walked towards the depths of the cellar step by step.
After walking a distance of about a dozen steps, Li Mu found that the stone steps had reached the end, and at this time, he couldn't see his fingers around, Li Mu waved his hand and took out a night pearl from the warehouse system, and the soft white light instantly illuminated the cellar where he was.
"Hiss......"
It's okay if you don't take it, this photo, Li Mu's whole person was scared and his legs were weak.
This cellar was huge, with neat wooden shelves, and the shelves were full of some meat and vegetables, but when he looked over the three or five rows of wooden shelves, a terrifying-looking corpse on the ground made Li Mu tremble.
"How can there be so many corpses, could it be that all the villagers and the monks who passed by are dead here?"
The corpses in front of him made Li Mu also feel a chill, and he couldn't help but wonder if this terrifying cellar would be the burial ground of the missing villagers in these villages.
"Click, click, click..."
Just as Li Mu squatted down to carefully investigate the situation of these corpses, a sound of increasingly rapid footsteps came from the north side of the cellar.
Li Mu was shocked, and looked up in the direction where the footsteps came from, where there was also a whole row of wooden shelves, on which were hung a slaughtered pig, completely blocking the light of the night pearl.
The footsteps became more and more dense, from one or two at the beginning, to a large one later, although not hurried, but numerous.
Li Mu didn't dare to slack off, no matter who made this sudden strange footsteps, he believed that it was definitely not a good thing.
The Shadow Sword was unsheathed and retreated five steps back, Li Mu returned to the stone steps, at this time Lin Qingzhu also heard the footsteps, and a flash went down to Li Mu's side, and the two of them had already pointed to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer in the dark.
The temperature in the cellar was extremely low, but at this time, Li Mu had already printed beads of sweat on his forehead, and the night pearl in his hand was thrown directly in front of him, rolling on the ground several times and stopping ten steps away from the two of them.
In the next second, at the junction of light and darkness, a foot stepped out.
The scene that followed made Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu both gasp.
I saw a man in butcher's costume walk out with a stagger, his eyes were blood-red, his arms were broken outward, and his nose and ears were all dried blood, which was extremely terrifying.
Soon, one after another, the same terrible-looking figures came out with the butcher, all of them scarred, as if they had been bitten by something, and their bodies and limbs were broken.
But they were already lifeless, their eyes flashed with terrifying red blood, and they approached Li Mu and the others step by step.
"Brother Mu, are they?"
The terrifying scene in front of him made Lin Qingzhu, who was accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, a little scared, at this time, more and more 'people' came into their sight, and the footsteps in the darkness were still increasing.
"Withdraw, let's go out first, or we'll be in danger of being surrounded in this cellar." ”
Li Mu kept forcing himself to calm down, this cellar space was too small, and the light was not enough, it was obviously not a clear choice to fight this group of dead people here.
Turning around and pulling Lin Qingzhu to go up and exit the cellar first, Li Mu felt that the girl beside him had cold hands.
The girl who works in the City Lord's Mansion has participated in many bandit suppression missions, not without seeing blood, and she was also decisive when she was attacked by the bearded man at Shuanglin Bridge before, but at this time, the scene in front of her made her fearful heart.
The two of them exerted their strength under their feet, jumped out of the cellar directly along the passage, and the Li Mu Shadow Sword that fell in the room swept away, emptying all the furnishings next to the entrance of the cellar.
Then the two of them put on a posture, staring at the dark cellar mouth, ready to face the "zombies" that would emerge from it at any time.
