Chapter Seventy-Six: The Human-Faced Bat
I heard Li Kebin's frightened voice, and before I could react for a while, I already felt a popping sound coming from above behind me, like something flapping its wings.
Hearing this strange sound, I couldn't help but feel nervous, and quickly turned around and shone it with a strong flashlight.
said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Li Kebin suddenly kicked on the buttocks, and I couldn't help but be kicked by him and staggered forward a few steps, almost falling and eating shit.
Suddenly, there was a strange scream behind me, and the place where I had just stood was surrounded by several faces.
When I saw those faces, I couldn't help but feel my scalp tingle. If it weren't for Li Kebin's kick, I might have recognized those faces as attacked.
However, it seems that the faces are not real people at all, but something like a bat.
"It's a human face bat, everyone be careful! Specializes in sucking the blood of people and animals. Ma Xiaoting said in surprise.
Before she could finish speaking, bats with human faces suddenly attacked me again.
What strikes me as strange is that they didn't attack Li Kebin and Ma Xiaoting.
I quickly took the sword in my pocket and threatened to assassinate them. Against this kind of thing, the rune paper, secret arts, etc. in my bag will not work at all.
Ma Xiaoting looked a little anxious and said, "Wu Thirteen, hurry up and turn off your flashlight." ā
After listening to Ma Xiaoting's words, I quickly turned off the strong light in my hand. It's okay not to turn off the flashlight, but as soon as the flashlight is turned off, there are many dark red eyes in the dark, staring at us strangely.
Those scarlet eyes, flickering on the stone wall above our heads, as if there were countless human eyes looking at us, felt particularly terrifying.
In the dark, Li Kebin's voice sounded, and he asked Ma Xiaoting very calmly: "Xiaoting, these face bats may not be easy to deal with, let's quietly withdraw from this cave first." ā
Ma Xiaoting said: "You don't have to be afraid, these bats only seem to be interested in Wu Thirteen, and they don't mean to attack the two of us, but this is also strange, why do they have no feelings for us." ā
After saying this, Ma Xiaoting asked me to go to them quietly in the dark, and she would find a way to drive them away.
I had no choice but to go to Ma Xiaoting's side in the dark and lean over with difficulty.
After a few steps, I felt my hand touch something undulating.
I secretly said in my heart: Li Kebin, this guy, is his chest muscles so developed?
Ma Xiaoting suddenly scolded angrily: "Wu Thirteen, have you touched enough of your uncle!" ā
I immediately withdrew my hand and said, "Uh-uh...... IāI'm embarrassed, it's so dark! ā
Ma Xiaoting said angrily: "Get out!" ā
Then she snorted and said, "Wait a minute, you shine this flashlight on your face, but don't keep the flashlight on, but turn it on, turn it off, turn it on again, and so on, you know?" But you have to listen to me. ā
I hummed and said, "Good! I see, and then what? ā
Ma Xiaoting said: "Then you don't have to worry about it, you can leave the rest to me." ā
I followed what Ma Xiaoting said, pointed the flashlight at my chin, and then switched between opening and closing.
Just as I turned on the flashlight for the first time, I saw a black bat hanging upside down on the rock above the cave roof.
Soon several bats broke off from the rocks and swooped down towards me.
"Off!" , Ma Xiaoting said suddenly.
Hearing this, I quickly turned off the flashlight, and at the moment I turned off the flashlight, I caught a glimpse of Ma Xiaoting raising her hand and throwing something at the swooping bat.
Immediately I heard the sound of bats falling to the ground.
Then Ma Xiaoting said again: "Turn on the lights!" ā
After going back and forth a few times, the number of scarlet eyes on the roof of the cave began to decrease and decrease, and there were many bat corpses on the ground.
The last few remaining bats seemed to know how powerful Ma Xiaoting was, and flew away with their wings crackling.
Looking at the bat corpses on the ground, I asked with trepidation, "How do these bats have human-like faces?" ā
Ma Xiaoting said: "This kind of bat can only be found in the land of extreme yin. And the land of extreme yin is the favorite place of lonely souls and wild ghosts. I won't say the rest, you should know it too! ā
"You mean, because of the lonely ghosts, these bats have grown human-like faces?" , Li Kebin wondered.
I said, "That's pretty much it, but some bats are made of ghosts, so they have a human face." ā
After the bats dispersed, I took a flashlight to look around, only to see that the sarcophagus that had trapped Hu Xin'er was still there, and the only thing missing was the body of Li Cripple.
Ma Xiaoting walked in front of the broken sarcophagus, leaned down and touched the sarcophagus, and suddenly her face became a little unsightly.
"This sarcophagus was supposed to suppress the fox demon before."
As she spoke, she stood up, looked around, carefully looked at the iron chain on the sarcophagus, and said suspiciously: "Look at this, someone let the fox demon go." ā
Li Kebin said: "Ma Xiaoting, why do you think that someone let go of the fox demon, not that the fox demon broke free and escaped." ā
Ma Xiaoting looked very indifferent, and said confidently: "First of all, there are so many runes on this sarcophagus, if I see it well, it should be an ancient evil charm against evil." Secondly, the eight iron chains are specially made, and they are also engraved with runes. ā
Speaking of this, Ma Xiaoting paused and sold off.
After drawing our attention, she said slowly: "On the ground, there are traces of being smashed by a coffin, and I think it is good, this sarcophagus should have been pulled by eight chains suspended in mid-air." ā
After listening to Ma Xiaoting's analysis, I secretly gave her a thumbs up. Her vision is a complete review of what I have seen with my own eyes.
Li Kebin was puzzled: "Then why did you use this way to trap that fox demon?" ā
Ma Xiaoting's expression changed, and she said very seriously: "The fox demon can't be killed at all, it will use various methods to escape, so it can only use the most extreme methods to suppress her." ā
"And since Baofeng Temple can have a python turn into a dragon, the heavenly spirit and earth qi are naturally too good to say, so trapping the fox demon in this way should be to prevent her from absorbing the earth qi and becoming stronger and stronger. On the other hand, if she can't absorb the aura, she will naturally become very weak, so that she can be trapped. ā
After listening to Ma Xiaoting's analysis, I couldn't help but admire her a little more.
Speaking of this, Ma Xiaoting couldn't help frowning, as if she was talking to herself: "However, according to this lock demon array, the fox demon will not be able to escape easily, who will let the fox demon go without permission." ā
Li Kebin sighed and said, "Ma Xiaoting, you yourself said before, the purpose of our coming this time is just for the dragon's business, as for other monsters, let's put it down for the time being!" ā
While they were talking, I shone a flashlight on the roof of the cave, and it didn't matter if it didn't shine, I saw that there seemed to be some strange patterns on the rocks at the top of the cave.
On closer inspection, they are relatively simple drawings.
"Look at this!" , I said to Ma Xiaoting and Li Kebin.
After Ma Xiaoting listened to my words, she hurriedly looked at the top of the cave.
However, the patterns were a little far away and I couldn't see them very clearly, so I took a picture of the roof with my phone.
I zoomed in and took a picture of the panorama, and the picture was much clearer.
I saw five people standing together, and there were many animals opposite them. But the animals all had human faces, and they looked like men and women.
And then the next one is these animals with human bodies, and they are fighting with five people.
Then, a man with a fox on the lower body and a girl on the upper body was sealed in a sarcophagus with eight chains on it.
When I saw this, my eyes stayed on the sarcophagus and iron chain behind me, and I couldn't help but think: the pattern on the roof of the cave is probably the scene of the suppression of the fox demon.
But the fox demon was suppressed, and where did the rest of the monsters go?
I thought this to myself, but I didn't say anything.
Ma Xiaoting said: "This is the way that people used to use in the past, probably to record what happened. Just like some historical attractions today, there will be a place to record the information of the attraction in writing. ā
After Ma Xiaoting finished speaking, they felt that my mobile phone was inconvenient to look at, so Li Kebin and Li Kebin each took out their mobile phones and took pictures of the roof of the cave.
Seeing that they took pictures of themselves, I didn't care about the two of them, but started swiping the phone album alone.
Because the roof of the cave is relatively large, I took several pictures of the roof of the cave after I zoomed in on my mobile phone.
When I saw the men, they used a sarcophagus to suppress the fox-faced girl, and the next thing I saw was a shingle house.
There were several people around a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, and an old man was pinching his fingers to tell fortunes.
Continuing to switch between the pictures I took, the next one was the old man standing a stone monument in the ground, and behind the stone monument was a man and a woman walking towards the river.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but be a little stunned, how this is a bit like what my grandfather said, about my story.
I held back my surprise and looked at the next picture, which showed five or six people watching a boy dig up the stele to the ground, and an escaped python and a girl appeared next to the stele.
When I saw this, I was a little panicked, and the content on this rock painting was like my personal experience.
Then the picture is a little blurry, and I can't see what it is.
The last picture is two patterns.
The pattern reads: Two men and a woman appear in a cave courtyard, their hands holding glowing objects shining on the roof of the cave, as if watching something. The girl pulled out a knife and held it against the neck of one of the boys; The other boy took out a dagger and stabbed the girl.
I looked at the last image and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Aren't there two men and a woman in the cave at this time?
At this moment, a grumbling cry suddenly came from beside me.
