Chapter 21: The Coffin

After Xiaoxue was sent out by us, her condition was not very good, and her originally ruddy face was now extremely pale. In the end, Xiaoxue actually spurted out a mouthful of blood.

At this point, Black Hole and I were both flustered. After scrambling to lay her flat on the grass, Black Hole took out another pill and stuffed it into Xiaoxue's mouth.

But after a while, the pill spit out from Xiao Xue's mouth, and it was also mixed with a large amount of black blood. The black hole was caught off guard and splashed all over.

"This is a bit serious...... Black Hole said as he wiped his clothes, "This is not in the village before, there is no store in the back, and there is no salvation." ”

"Then you can't let her die here, can you?" I muttered, and suddenly noticed that Xiaoxue's left hand was shaking unconsciously.

Odd?

I curiously touched Xiaoxue's left hand and found that her left hand was extremely cold, like a ...... Dead people are generally ......

"Be careful, there's something in the sleeve of her hand, I see the clothes moving." Black Hole said suddenly.

Something? I subconsciously retracted my hand. Xiaoxue's hand hung down again.

I stared at the sleeve of her left hand and saw something white and gray.

Whitish-gray? Something popped into my head.

Could it be ......

I pulled Xiaoxue's left hand back up and pulled her sleeve up.

Really! Xiaoxue's arms are covered with those gray-white scales!

The black hole came over, and after just one look, he was frightened: "What is this?"

"I don't know...... I've only seen him in the sea on the other side, but I didn't expect him to appear here again. I said lightly, but in fact, my mind was already a mess.

After a while, I gritted my teeth and stood up, already having an idea in my heart: "This way, black hole, you send Xiaoxue out, and I'll go down the thief hole she hit to have a look." I think whether we can solve this series of mysteries depends on this time. ”

"Mystery? What mystery? No, you're going to go down by yourself?" Black Hole opened his mouth, and his face with sunglasses suddenly became solemn, "Okay, you know, you may not be the only one down here." ”

"Yes, Xiaoxue will trouble you."

"That'...... How did I find you?" Black Hole hesitated, "Big brother is not here now, you go down rashly like this...... Okay, I'll come to you after I send Xiaoxue out. ”

"Okay. By the way, maybe I'll come out first. I quipped, "I don't know why, but I think it was the right choice I made." ”

"Maybe. There's a guy in that little toolbox, you can find one to pick up. After the black hole finished speaking, he lifted the small toolbox over. After opening it three or two times, it revealed all kinds of guys inside.

To say that there are really many guys in this little toolbox. I couldn't help but be secretly surprised. But I just took the dagger in my hand and closed the lid.

Seeing this, the black hole's eyes widened: "You just take this?"

"That's enough, I won't do anything else. I'll go down, Xiaoxue will ask you. I smiled, turned and jumped into the thief's hole.

I groped my way down and slid down. After a while, I saw the hole that Xiaoxue had hit. After testing the size of the hole, I crawled inside without thinking.

I didn't expect the hole to look big, but the inside got smaller and smaller, and several times I felt like I would be stuck in it. But thankfully, it's just the feeling.

Just as I was concentrating on crawling forward, I suddenly slipped and fell without warning. Before I could react, I was already on the ground.

I hit the ground hard, and then a large cloud of dirt hit me in the head.

When the ash above my head was gone, I looked up. I found a hole not far above my head, and I fell from there. Judging by the shape of the hole, it must have been dug by light snow.

So where has this been?

I looked around and found myself in a passageway.

There's a lot of moisture in this passage. After only a while, I felt a little short of breath and sweat on my head.

I simply took off my shirt and tied it around my waist. Then, he wiped his face again, turned on the flashlight, and began to shine around.

With the light, I finally saw clearly. It turns out that the cave is full of miasma from the surface.

This type of miasma is particularly hot and humid because it is produced by the transpiration of animals and plants.

It seems that something not far ahead has drawn the miasma down the surface. However, this also shows that there must be other exits ahead.

With that in mind, I cautiously leaned against the wall and walked forward. Soon arrived at a hidden stone gate.

I didn't rush in, but stuck my head against the stone door and looked through the gap.

But the stone door was very dark, and through the gap I could only see a huge thing inside, but I couldn't tell what it was.

In the end, there was really no way, so I strengthened my courage and pushed open the stone door.

The stone door was opened with a "boom". I stayed outside the door for three seconds, saw that there was nothing unusual inside, and walked straight inside.

Once inside, I finally saw what the huge thing was. It turned out to be a towering tree.

The top of the tree seems to have grown to the surface. For I saw a little light coming down from the top.

Why plant a tree trunk like this here? I was a little weird and took pictures around. I found that there was nothing but this big tree.

Suddenly, with a casual glance, I saw something light up in the leaves of the tree.

I immediately locked down the place, held up my phone, and walked over as I took a photo.

It wasn't until I got under the tree that I finally saw what it was. It was a coffin, hidden among the leaves.

Tree burial? I subconsciously thought of the word.

Indeed, this is Miaojiang, and in the past, there was a tradition of this kind of tree burial in the Miaojiang region.

To test this point, I searched around again. As a result, several more coffins were found hidden among the leaves. It seems that this is indeed the place where Miao Jiangshu is buried.

Once I knew what this place was, I relaxed. After circling the tree, I decided to go back the way I came.

Just as I turned and walked towards the stone gate, there was a sudden commotion behind me, the rustle of leaves.

In an instant, I felt a chill all over my body.

You know, there's no wind here, so how can the leaves be blown away?

But the rustling behind it did not stop, but became louder and louder.

Now I have two options in front of me, look back and run straight. And I chose the former.

As I slowly turned around, something suddenly fell from the tree.

It's a dead man!

I was startled and slowly leaned over.

It was indeed a few dead men dangling in the air wrapped in branches. And these dead people have long been corrupted. Before I could get closer, I could smell the rotting smell of corpses.

Indeed, the damp miasma here is too heavy, which means that the microorganisms are also heavy, and after death, the rate and degree of decay are much faster and higher than in ordinary environments.

I covered my mouth and nose with the clothes I had taken off, and then walked straight over.

There were a total of four corpses that had been lowered by the branches, two of which had been visibly ossified. However, the clothes on the corpses were generally well preserved.

The dead people seemed to have come together because they were all wearing the same camouflage uniforms. But I couldn't identify the bodies by clothes alone.

At this moment, a slender and slender worm suddenly emerged from the nose of the corpse closest to me. The worm didn't hesitate to bite me directly.

I couldn't dodge, and subconsciously used my arm to go to the bell, but I forgot that I was not wearing clothes. The arm was pecked directly by the bug.

I felt a tingling sensation and flapped my arm to knock the bug off.

After the bugs fell off my arm, they quickly burrowed into the dirt.

I didn't care about anything else, so I twisted my arm and checked the wound.

But the wound that was bitten by the insect turned out to be two visible blood holes. At this time, black blood was constantly flowing out of the blood hole.

My head also became a little heavy at this point.

I reacted quickly, I was poisoned!

So I ran out of the stone gate. All the way to the thief hole. I was desperate to find that I couldn't climb that hole anymore!

The degree of poisoning did not ease because of the urgency of the situation, but became more and more serious.

I gritted my teeth and jumped upwards with all my might, but I missed the hole again and again.

, how can this little snow be dug badly, but it has to be dug like this. This time it didn't pit her, but it ended me.

But scolding, scolding, and complaining won't solve the immediate problem. I tried jumping again. As a result, this time I couldn't even touch the hole.

Seeing that the whole body is already top-heavy, I can't even walk.

I let out a long sigh and collapsed to the ground. Now, I regret that I came down alone.

I don't know if the black hole is on its way back now. I don't know if I'm done playing after the black hole comes back.

I began to think about it, and my consciousness gradually entered a state of confusion.

At that moment, I vaguely heard someone calling me. But I don't even have the strength to look up.

If someone calls me, they should come back and pick me up.

Just when I decided it was a hallucination, I suddenly felt lighter, and then I felt like I was being carried on my back.

"Who is it?" I asked softly.

But before I could hear the answer, my eyes went dark and I fainted.

When I woke up again, I saw a wooden roof in front of my eyes. I struggled to sit up and found that my bitten hand had been wrapped in gauze.

"I ...... Where am I?" I muttered, shaking my head.

"Are you awake?" Suddenly, the voice of the black hole sounded in his ears, "You have been poisoned by Gu, and now you are well." ”

"You saved me?" I asked rhetorically, "You came just in time." ”

"It's not me, it's him." The black hole fingered.

I looked over and saw that the Yin Man was sitting on the side chatting with a woman.

"That's Angel's mother. We've found the wrong place. The black hole said faintly......
