The Ruins of the Immortal Mountain Chapter 41 The Dried Corpse

The spark of the stars can start a prairie fire, and now the spark falls on the pool of water filled with lamp oil, and immediately forms a prairie fire. The entire pool of water burst into flames in an instant, completely enveloping the giant turtle in the flames. The giant turtle was so flustered that it didn't know what to do, and the animal's instinct made it immediately choose to seek good fortune and avoid evil. It did not flee to the pool, for it seemed that there was fire scattered on it, so it rushed toward the flameless shore. Although the giant turtle escaped the fire on the pond, the lamp oil it carried on it could not escape the catastrophe. Soon, the giant turtle no longer struggled, but let the fire on his body burn......

Looking at the giant turtle like a hill being burned by the fire, I asked my glasses, "How did this giant turtle live in the ancient tomb for hundreds of years?" ”

Glasses explained: "People say that the thousand-year-old king is eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, which is not unreasonable. Whenever a turtle encounters a harsh living environment, there will always be a way to seal itself up to reduce its own consumption. ”

The jar asked, "You mean hibernation?" ”

"Similar!" "However, I feel that this is more like a fake death, and perhaps the owner of the tomb took advantage of the turtle's habit to keep this giant turtle here." ”

I don't know if the spectacle is correct, but how can an animal need a certain amount of breathing even if it is suspended from death, and how can it be alive and sealed in stone for hundreds of years? Perhaps only the people who trapped the giant turtle here in the first place can give a real answer, but the words of the glasses are the only thing that is acceptable at the moment.

"Let's go!" I sighed, "Finding the exit is the most important thing now. ”

"Look there's something floating in that pool!" Glasses pointed to the surface of the pool where the fire was raging.

We looked towards the pool, and sure enough, something was floating. The thing didn't catch fire, and everywhere it passed, the flames were avoided. When the thing floated to the edge of the pool, we saw that it was a coffinβ€”a coffin that we knew very well, and this coffin had a name, "The Howling of the Eight Wolves."

The stone coffin outside the coffin has disappeared at this time, and eighty percent of it has sunk to the bottom of the pool, but this coffin has drifted here. It stands to reason that wood will burn, but this coffin is made of wood, there is not half a spark on it, and even such a fierce flame has not burned the coffin black, it is still red.

The altar looked at the coffin that floated over and stammered, "Why is it here again?" Didn't you say that there are only two things left? Collapse is one thing, giant ao is one thing, but what kind of situation is this? Don't think that you can be dishonest when you die? ”

The coffin came ashore and stopped there. We waited for a long time and nothing happened, so I boldly leaned forward. However, because the fire was so big, I couldn't get too close to the coffin, and after just a few steps forward, I felt like the water on my body had evaporated. I tried to look at the coffin with my feet on my feet, but I couldn't see the inside.

At this time, the jar and glasses came up and lifted me high: "How is it, what do you see?" ”

"I didn't ...... Gone! I was surprised.

"What's missing?" The altar was impatient with my headless words, "You go carefully! ”

I said, "The mummy in the coffin is gone!" ”

"Hi~" The altar put me down and said, "What's so great about that, falling from such a high place, even the stone coffin was lost, let alone the corpse placed inside, what's so surprising about this?" But if this mummy is brought to the market, it will definitely sell for a good price, tsk......"

The glasses said very regretfully: "It's a pity, this may be the second mummy found in the history of Chinese archaeology, which is of great archaeological value!" I didn't expect to find it like this, it's really ...... Alas! ”

They looked at me as they spoke, but saw me standing there in a daze, as if I had been pointed.

The altar waved his hand in front of my eyes and shouted: "Poor ghost, poor ghost! Are you okay? ”

At this point, I suddenly came back to my senses, raised my hand and pointed behind them and said, "You don't have to be sorry, aren't you looking for it?" It...... It's standing there......"

The jar and the glasses were taken aback, and hurriedly looked back, only to see a figure standing at the entrance of the cave, covered in fire, barely recognizable as the mummified corpse in the tomb. The three of us kept an eye on the cave, but none of us noticed when it came out of the water and stood there.

The corpse of the Liao Dynasty stood motionless at the entrance of the cave, letting the flames rage on it. The three of us didn't know what was going on, and we didn't dare to act rashly. The flames on the corpse of the Liao Dynasty turned from large to small, gradually revealing most of the body.

Probably due to the soaking in water, the shroud that was originally wrapped around the corpse has been loosened at this time, and it is sparsely hung on the corpse, so that we can see the true face of the dry corpse of the Liao Dynasty. The dried corpse was one meter seven or eight tall, the whole body was purple-gray, and the skin and muscles were all shriveled and stuck to the bones, one by one, like the bark of a dead tree for hundreds of years, and there were some pimples like toad skin, which made people look goosebumps standing up. Its eyes are two black holes, and its lips have long since shrunk, completely exposing its purple gums and incoming and outward teeth. Its terrifying appearance, combined with the extinguishing flames on its body, made it look like a demon returning from hell to earth. Looking at the shrouds on its body, they should have undergone special treatment like the coffin, and they couldn't even be lit in the flames. Not only the shroud, but also the corpse, it is truly amazing that it has been incinerated without damage.

"This zombie is too ferocious, isn't it? Not afraid of fire? The jar muttered quietly.

I said, "What kind of zombie is this?" A zombie is a complete corpse, but this one has not only been stripped of his internal organs, but also has no brains left, what kind of zombie is it? ”

"How did it stand here?"

"You ask me, I ask who goes? That Liao Dynasty brother? I'm not familiar with it, so you might as well ask for yourself! ”

The head of the jar immediately rejected my proposal, like rattle.

We watched there quietly for a long time, and saw that the dry corpse of the Liao Dynasty was just standing but there was no movement, so we decided to pass through it gently. But the moment we passed by it, the Liao Dynasty cadaver suddenly stretched out his arm and pushed us back. The three of us didn't have time to take precautions, and we were pushed on a big heel, and the force of the thrust was unimaginable.

As soon as I turned over and sat up, I saw that the dry corpse of the Liao Dynasty had rushed to the front of the altar, grabbed the neck of the altar with his left hand, and lifted him up like a chicken. Don't look at the hands of the dry corpse of the Liao Dynasty as withered as chicken feet, but they are very powerful, and they pinched the jar with bared teeth in just one moment. So, without thinking about it, I slashed it down with a machete on its arm.
