Chapter Twenty-Four: The Ancient Beast (ǎo)
"Hey, did you see how it disappeared?" Wu Ling'er leaned closer to Xu Gang and looked at Dao Yuan.
Dao Yuan spread his hands, shook his head and said, "It's not that it disappeared just now, I mean, it's one less than when we first came in." ”
"It's mysterious here, I really don't know what kind of danger awaits us!" Xu Gang's scalp was a little numb.
Wu Ling'er really didn't want to stay here longer, and the corpse on the ground made her very upset: "Let's go, then let's be careful!" Find the corpse incense konjac as soon as possible and leave this hellish place. ”
Xu Gang and the others bypassed the thief's corpse and cautiously leaned into the depths of the tomb.
After walking about three zhang far, there was a round bowl with a height and width of more than one zhang in front of the hand, and the three of them just walked in front of the bowl, and they all stopped.
"Did you two hear snoring?" Wu Ling'er sighed and whispered.
Xu Gang and the others both nodded in response.
Daoyuan gently walked to the front of the three of them, turned around and said softly: "Young Master Xu, Miss Wu, you wait for me here, I'll go see what the situation is first!" ”
Wu Ling'er nodded, observing the situation around her with a wary expression.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xu Gang tugging at his sleeve, Wu Ling'er stared at him with both eyes.
Following the direction of Xu Gang's finger, Wu Ling'er found that Daoyuan put his index finger to his mouth and shushed, and then kept beckoning the two of them over.
The two walked up to Daoyuan and looked in the direction of his finger.
"What is this, pig?" Xu Gang asked softly.
"No, I look like a sheep!" Wu Ling'er didn't talk back to Xu Gang, but she really looked like a sheep.
Daoyuan shook his head at the two of them, and said softly: "Like a sheep but not a sheep, like a pig but not a pig?" Could it be that this is the ancient mythical beast in the ancient legend, feeding on the brains of the dead, I have read it in the Classic of Mountains and Seas! Oh, look, the corpse of the thief who disappeared~~"
Xu Gang gave him a thumbs up and praised him! muttered: "I read a lot of books, and it's really different!" ”
"Vomit~~" When did Wu Ling'er see such a scene, when she saw that the head of the thief's corpse had been bitten open, coupled with the already rotten body, it was really disgusting, and she couldn't help but vomit.
"Huh~~Huh~~~"
The one was curled up on the edge of the round bowl and fell asleep, the arrival of the three did not affect its sweet dreams in the slightest, this one was about six feet long, the body was like a sheep, the four hooves were like pigs, the nails on the hooves were more than an inch long, very sharp, the pig's nose and horns, the body was covered with a thick carapace, and the whole looked indescribably weird!
Wu Ling'er didn't want to stay here for a long time, so she waved away to Xu Gang and the others to indicate that they were going to leave, and the three of them continued to walk towards the depths of the tomb.
"Where are you going?" Suddenly, a voice came from the silent burial chamber, a strange sound, sharp with a hint of hoarseness, and it didn't feel like it came from a person.
The three of them were all startled by this sudden voice, Xu Gang felt that his heartbeat was obviously faster, and there was only one thought in his heart: Could it be a ghost?
"Who!" Wu Ling'er felt her scalp tingle, and she shouted involuntarily, completely forgetting that there was still a maid sleeping.
Dao Yuan's state was much better, and he was a little frightened in his heart, and he calmly touched out a charm.
The sound came from the rear, and the three of them all looked in the direction where the sound came from, and under the reflection of the firelight, they saw a thing like a sheep and a pig standing behind them, it was the one who looked at the three of them with a pair of fiery red eyes, and other than that, no other abnormalities were found for the time being.
When Xu Gang saw his wife, a thought popped up in his heart: "Could it be that it is talking?" ”
"Could it be that it's talking?" Wu Ling'er said with a slight stammer.
Dao Yuan nodded on the side and said, "It is recorded in ancient books, it seems that it can indeed be spoken." ”
"What do I ask you? Why don't you answer me! All three of them stared at the beast with wide eyes, and did not see the monster speak, but they actually heard it in their ears.
Wu Ling'er said in surprise: "Is it really talking about it?" The"
Xu Gang pulled Daoyuan's clothes and asked, "Does it eat living human brains!" ”
"I only eat dead human brains!" Before Dao Yuan could answer, the woman on the other side spoke again.
Xu Gang thought to himself: "This guy's ears are too smart!" ”
"You're stupid, I'll kill you and eat it, won't it!" Wu Ling'er habitually scolded Xu Gang.
"It has very good ears, don't talk nonsense." Xu Gang leaned into her ear and whispered.
Uh~~ Xu Gang's exhaled breath when she spoke blew on her ears, and her face turned red as soon as she brushed it, she quickly pushed Xu Gang away, lowered her head and thought: What's wrong with me, why is my face so hot, and my heart is beating so hard.
Xu Gang also sensed her abnormality, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Wu, what's wrong with you?" ”
"No, no, no, it's okay!" Wu Ling'er replied nervously.
At this time, the woman spoke again: "Don't worry, there are so many dead bodies here that I can't even eat them, but I don't bother to kill you, I just want to know what you are doing here?" ”
Xu Gang listened to Yuanwen's crepe speech, and couldn't help but look at Wu Ling'er and said: Its human language must have been learned from a scholar, forget it, since it doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions, it's better to be close to him!
"Hehe~~" Wu Ling'er was amused by him at once, people are ancient beasts, eating human brains, which scholar dares to teach it to speak.
"Hello senior, I have a friend who has been poisoned by the corpse demon flower, and the three of us came here to find the corpse incense konjac to save people, and I have to disturb you, please forgive me!" Although Xu Gang was a little cold behind him, the problem still had to be solved, he hugged his fists and saluted, and he didn't know if he could understand it!
"Oh, you turn around and go straight, go to the right passage, in the second room on the right, the things you want are there, remember not to open the sarcophagus, otherwise, damage the food of this seat, this seat will not be polite!" The girl actually pointed out the way to the group, and after saying that, it continued to curl up and sleep.
"Thank you, senior!" As soon as Xu Gang's words fell, he heard the sound of whirring.
Xu Gang muttered: So fast, just sleep!
The three of you, you look at me, I look at yours, with a blank face.
"Xu Gongzi, do you think its words are credible?" Dao Yuan put away the charm and looked at Xu Gang's puzzled Dao, really worried that it was a trap.
"I don't think so, since the corpses in the coffin inside this tomb are all its food, it proves that it also came in from the outside, and it is not the guardian beast of this tomb or something, I wonder if the corpse incense konjac has no effect on it?" Xu Gang touched his chin and said.
"Okay, let's go, it's true or not, you'll know in the past, just be careful!" Wu Ling'er saw that the two of them had not acted for a long time, so she urged.
Xu Gang glanced at Wu Ling'er: No one else is afraid of a girl, what am I afraid of! What he didn't know was that Wu Ling'er was just panicking, so she was in a hurry to leave.
"Okay, it's a blessing or a curse, just look at it, let's go!" After speaking, Xu Gang refilled the torch, walked in front of the two of them, and walked to the depths of the tomb. Fortunately, there is a lot of oil, otherwise the lighting problem alone would have stumped everyone.
Wu Ling'er and Dao Yuan hurriedly followed, Wu Ling'er looked at Xu Gang's figure thoughtfully, smiled meaningfully, and followed.
As Yuan said, there were three passages at the end of the tomb, and Xu Gang took the two of them directly into the right one, and these passages were almost the same as the first one, but several tombs were built on both sides of this passage, and the three of them directly entered the second one on the right.
(PS: The girl suddenly raised her head when she fell asleep: no matter how hard and tired you are, the update has to keep up!) Otherwise, don't want to recommend tickets and collect! )
