Chapter 423: Fraudulent Corpse Ask for a book review
The intense glow of the flashlight completely illuminates the scene on the ceiling overhead.
First of all, he saw a wagging tail, followed by four limbs covered in many hard armor scales.
Until his gaze suddenly illuminated the appearance on its face, the huge black shadow in front of him suddenly trembled.
The giant lizard-like creature moved a few more points along the narrow ceiling, covered in crimson scales.
Seeing this, I finally couldn't help but let out a sigh, but I didn't expect that a creature was mixed in the tomb, but the next second I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.
Because this thing actually has a black thing like a rickety chicken claw in its mouth, and it wasn't until the next second that the hard flashlight was bright and it was completely clear.
It was a rotting human hand.
I couldn't help but shudder, and turned my head a little to look at the corpse behind me, but the flashlight held high did not dare to move in the slightest.
As I looked at the dried corpse in the broken coffin, I realized that the corpse's left arm was severed with a wrist and a palm.
The disgusting and pungent smell I had smelled before was black corpse water flowing from the fracture.
This scene made me sick enough, and I almost didn't put down the flashlight and vomited, but I suddenly realized an extremely weird and terrifying truth in my heart.
"This thing eats people."
This idea first appeared in a passage implicitly left in Wu Laogou's diary.
He said that some animals, whether they eat people or carrion, will "open their minds" to the essence left in the human body, and produce some kind of spiritual intelligence.
The smell of human flesh keeps the animal's mind in mind, and in ancient legends, there are many large animals that want to cultivate into human form, and must first eat people or corpses in graves.
The strange creature hanging upside down on the burial chamber in front of him was obviously a little unusual in terms of body shape, and if it was a common gecko, it would never have grown to such a large size.
But the hard phosphorus armor on his body didn't look like a lizard or a chameleon, especially when he looked at it with his dark eyes.
There was an inexplicable flutter in my heart, this thing would follow me until it was in danger, sneaking up from behind.
He is not a narrow-minded and suspicious person, but the words of Wu Laogou in the diary echoed in his ears, and the unknown creature in front of him was really a little weird.
It made me inadvertently move the murderous intent.
Just looking at the hard scales on its body and the appearance of a dried corpse in its mouth, I knew that it was definitely not a good stubble.
This time I was determined to take aim with my pistol, and if it hadn't hit it, the sound of gunfire and the smell of gunsmoke would have been enough to disperse it and flee the tomb.
With this in mind, I clutched the pistol at my waist in my hand, closed my eyes and aimed in the direction above my head, and cold sweat unconsciously ran down my forehead.
It was something I had never felt before, perhaps out of vigilance and some kind of hunch, that I had to make this potential danger disappear.
"Bang."
After a gunshot, the huge creature with the corpse's arm in its mouth fled desperately along the tunnel in the tomb where it had come before.
Seeing this scene, I finally couldn't help but sigh, and just as I was finally about to leave, a strange cold wind blew up the back of my neck.
There was also the smell of gunpowder smoke that had not dissipated in the tomb.
There was a foul smell mixed with the smoke, and his heart suddenly sank, and the huge monster with the corpse in his mouth had already run out of the tomb, but how could there be movement behind him.
"Could it be that the corpse has been resurrected."
This strange thought startled me too, and I clenched it in my hand again before I could close the safety of the pistol.
When I slowly turned my head, the scene in front of me instantly sent chills down my spine, and a chill emanated from my whole body.
Corpse... It's gone.
The mural on the wall reflects an eerie sheen through the light of a flashlight, coldly shining on the floor and the coffin board that is falling apart.
I remember that I had kowtowed to the corpse in the coffin a few times before, could it be because the owner of the tomb had a spirit and wanted to show up as a brother who worshipped me.
When I thought of this, I couldn't help but smile at the corner of my mouth, but the next second, I couldn't laugh at all.
Because there seemed to be something cold behind him on his shoulder.
A black mark had been left on the coffin board on the ground where the corpse had been placed, how could the dried corpse disappear in such a short period of time.
My mind heated, and I instantly remembered the horror of zombies, and the cold touch was still hooked on my shoulder.
The flashlight reflected the colorful murals around me, but the warlock who was soaked in various metal substances in the big ding in the mural stood out to me.
Many of the raw materials for alchemy in Taoism are so incredible in today's view, and they are even full of poison.
These mixed bits and pieces of elemental materials mixed together will not transform a person's body into a monster.
I couldn't help but think back to Suchak, who had been injected with the evolution liquid at the beginning, and he finally took off his skin and walked into the crack leading to the gate of the Snake Mausoleum in Xiangxi to find his daughter.
That's obviously an incredible, but living example.
I held the cold pistol in my hand, felt the chill and strangeness of the cramped burial chamber, and after three seconds of silent counting, I finally mustered up the courage to turn around.
And the scene that catches my eye, I don't know how to describe it.
The missing corpse was standing behind him, his wrinkled black skin and shriveled eyeballs in his sockets, leaving behind large expanses of disgusting and foul-smelling liquid when blown by the wind.
"This ...... This, how is this possible. ”
I broke out in a cold sweat, and my face was even more confused, until I saw that the shriveled Adam's apple on his neck trembled slightly.
Immediately, along with the entire corpse's head, it was completely raised, and there seemed to be some kind of mechanical consciousness in the shriveled eyes, tilting its head to look at me.
"Fraud... Deceived corpses. ”
When he raised his flashlight to shine on his dark face, the corpse in front of him, which could not be explained by science and biology, actually used his hands to block the dazzling light.
It also gave himself time to wake up from the struggle to the time he pulled the trigger with the pistol in his hand.
After a gunshot, the head of the dried corpse in front of him exploded in front of him in an instant.
Since he was only an arm's length away from him, a black sticky substance like paste in his head instantly splashed his face and body.
Watching the corpse fall straight down, I finally couldn't help but sigh.
It wasn't until the next second that I suddenly noticed that something was shaking in the shattered skull of the dried corpse, which seemed to be what brought him back from the dead.
There were only four bullets left in the pistol, and out of some distress and fear that it would be wasted, he simply stuffed the pistol back into the waistband of his trousers.
