Volume 1, The Lost Valley Blood Tree Chapter 47, The Soul Rat's Nest

"I'll go, how many people have to die here to have so many white bones!"

"It's not just people, it's something else." Yang Lixuan didn't know when he opened his eyes and looked at those white bones:

"In addition to those grottoes, there are many cracks in the stone walls, some of which are even big enough for two or three people. In addition to people, some of these bones are animal carcasses dragged in from the outside by Dementor rats, and we have entered the Dementor rat's lair. ”

"What? Absorb...... The Soul Rat's Lair? Chen Tao swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Although the corpse parasitized by the bloodthirsty black worm can be preserved for a long time, it will slowly decay and decompose after a long time, or after the outer layer of protective material is destroyed." Yang Lixuan said,

"The ancient corpses in that grotto before have almost been decomposed, and only a small part has been preserved."

"While these vines are decomposing the corpse, they seem to be controlling the corpse, but instead prolonging the time for the corpse to be preserved."

"That'...... Can these corpses still be raised? "Uncle Long was not here, Chen Tao had no choice but to ask Yang Lixuan.

Yang Lixuan didn't answer him, just looked at the wooden coffins on the shore, frowned slightly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Chen Tao shrugged helplessly, suddenly realized something, lowered his voice and said, "If this is the lair of the Dementor rats, then where did those Dementor rats go?"

Yang Lixuan shook his head and said, "This is exactly what I'm most worried about. ”

Uncle Long in front of them slowed down the speed of the raft, and gradually leveled with Chen Tao and the three of them, looking at Chen Tao and them coming, Uncle Long lowered his voice and asked Yang Lixuan:

"Little brother of the Yang family, if my guess is correct, this is the lair of the dementor rat!"

"Where there are corpses, there must be a large number of Dementors." Yang Lixuan nodded.

Boss Zhang and the others in the back also seemed to notice that something was wrong around them, and they all accelerated to row the raft behind Chen Tao and them.

"Hey...... Master Long, I'll take it to the lungs, is this the nest of those street rats! Boss Zhang's voice came from behind. His voice was low, as if he had guessed something.

Uncle Long nodded, "Be careful, pay attention to the back, let's get out of here quickly." ”

The crowd remained vigilant, paddling cautiously and as fast as possible on the raft.

"Look, there's a couple of Dementors up ahead!" The mountain ghost whispered.

On a rocky slope on the shore ahead, several dementors the size of kittens surrounded the city, seemingly chewing on something.

"How many young rats are there, what are they eating?" Uncle Long squinted at the pile of rats.

The pile on the shore was black and thick-looking, more than half a meter long. Several black Dementors were scurrying around on it.

"Are those vine branches...... No way! That's a leg! Half a human leg! Haozi almost shouted.

"I'll your mother! What's next, run forward or run backward! Boss Zhang shouted in a low voice.

Uncle Long made a silent gesture, lowered his voice and said, "It's impossible to go back now, be vigilant, let's be quiet and slowly row over." These are just a few small ones, don't alarm them! ”

"No, uncle, this is the old nest of the Dementor Rats, it can't be only a few of them, where have the other Dementor Rats gone?" Chen Tao whispered.

Uncle Long shook his head and motioned for Chen Tao to stop talking, and everyone lowered their bodies and lay on the raft.

On the silent river, the three rafts were slowly floating, and at this time, Chen Tao's heart was in his throat.

The Dementor Mouse was on the shore, and although the speed of the raft was not too slow, Chen Tao felt that the raft was as slow as a snail at this time!

Time passed little by little, Chen Tao felt that every second was like a torment, and the so-called living like a year is nothing more than that, right? Now he can't wait to fly out of this river all at once!

"There's a bag there!" Haozi patted Chen Tao, mouth-shaped, and pointed to a protruding stone road not far from the other side of the river in front of him.

Chen Tao carefully touched Yang Lixuan's arm and signaled to him for discovery. Yang Lixuan looked at the group of dementor rats on the shore, then at the bag not far away, picked up the long stick in his hand, grabbed the end of the long stick with both hands and twisted it, and a King Kong dragon claw stretched out from the end. This dragon claw Chen Tao still remembers that it was the one that was wrapped around his waist at the beginning.

Then, Yang Lixuan held the half-cut stick under the dragon's claw and pulled it carefully, and under Chen Tao's stunned gaze, the long stick was actually extended by a while. Then, he grabbed the other half of the stick and pulled it carefully, and the long stick, which was originally less than two meters, was now almost close to four meters.

Yang Lixuan motioned for Chen Tao and Haozi to control the direction, and he himself stretched out one end of the dragon claw towards the black backpack in the distance.

Chen Tao and Haozi carefully controlled the direction of the boat with shovels, keeping it as close as possible to the protruding boulder. Watching Yang Lixuan's dragon claws get closer to the backpack little by little, he finally buckled on the strap of the backpack.

Yang Lixuan slowly contracted the stick and pulled the backpack over little by little. Uncle Long, Boss Zhang and others on the other two rafts also noticed the situation on their side, and they all controlled the raft to lean towards Chen Tao's side.

The backpack got closer and closer to the raft, and finally it was only an arm's length away. The backpack was completely soaked with water, and it seemed to be full of stuff.

In order to prevent the sound of dripping, Yang Lixuan put away the long stick, reached out and pulled the backpack over, and slowly pulled it to the raft against the water surface.

The backpack is still very new and doesn't look like something you've been soaking in water for years. The fabric of the backpack is waterproof, Yang Lixuan slowly unzipped the top of it, and took out the contents one by one and put them on the raft.

Batteries, compressed biscuits, a health kit, solid fuel, two boxes of 0.45mm submachine gun ammunition, and a purse.

Yang Lixuan opened the iron buckle on the outside of the wallet, and saw a photo inside the wallet at first glance.

It was a modern color group photo, and the photo showed a man and a woman, and it turned out to be two foreigners!

Yang Lixuan looked at the mezzanine of the wallet again, and there was nothing else in it except a few red tickets of 100 yuan and US dollars.

Chen Tao looked at the photo in surprise, and was extremely surprised.

"Foreigners? How can it be a foreigner? Don't...... Someone is already ahead of us? ”

Uncle Long leaned over to their raft, reached out and took the wallet from Yang Lixuan's hand and glanced at it, and immediately frowned. Uncle Wang on the side saw the wallet in Uncle Long's hand, and the two made eye contact, Uncle Long nodded and didn't speak again.

As the raft moved forward little by little, there were more Dementors on the shore, and Chen Tao's flashlights had already been turned off, and the only light source around them was the dark green fluorescent ghost fire on the shore.

Everyone's eyes slowly adapted to the dark environment, and although the light of those ghost fires was very dim, they could still faintly see those dark shadows on the shore.

There seemed to be more Dementors on the shore, piles of dementors tearing at something, and the creaking of teeth could be heard in the silence of the space.

The surroundings are very dark, and even if they are very close, they can only vaguely distinguish the location of the people around them.

I don't know if it was because I stared at it for too long, or if those ghost fires gave me hallucinations, but after a few blurred moments, Chen Tao felt that he saw the Dementor rats on the shore crawling around, and there were several corpses lying on the ground, all of which seemed to have been dead for a long time.

Although he didn't know what information Uncle Long and Uncle Wang had exchanged, he had more or less realized a very serious problem.

Someone got here before them, and it wasn't long before they did.

That's not good news for them. If someone found the ancient tomb in front of them, let's not talk about the contents first, but the clues about the tree people that Chen Tao was most concerned about were likely to be taken away by those people first.

If two groups of people meet in the tomb without a pot, according to the rules, the first part of the people will choose the artifact, and the later people are not allowed to interfere, and they can only wait for those people to take it.

However, the rules are like this, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one wants to go through nine deaths and end up picking up the rest of others.

And even those who went to get the artifacts first, when they knew that there was another group of people behind them staring at those artifacts, unless they were fools, no one would be kind enough to keep the good things.

After all, they all eat this bowl of rice, I gave it to you, so how can I mix it myself? It is said that shopping malls are like battlefields, and peers are enemies. In the underground industry of tomb robbing, which is not very profitable, it is very common for a fight to break out because of a dead weapon. Many times when you meet other people in the tomb, it is either you die or I live, and the things are given to you, but there is no door!

Not to mention outsiders, even if it is one's own person who supports the pot, there are not a few who turn against each other because of a dark weapon, and there are not a few who kill each other.

The scariest thing in the tomb is not those traps, nor the zombie salted fish, but the knife behind you!
