Chapter 10 Concealment
I stood up with the help of Uncle Okawa and my ears, and by the light of the torches, I once again scanned the much darker cavern, and my ears couldn't wait to throw a pebble, and sure enough, it didn't cause another impact on the sarcophagus. It seems that the ingenuity of this Moon Shadow sarcophagus can be regarded as a successful crack!
It's just that the entrance to the cave where the moonlight was introduced, along with the passage not far away, where we came down from the Rakshasa Cave during the day, was also blocked by the collapse caused by the impact of the sarcophagus. Then, we, along with Ah Xia and the others who entered before, are naturally trapped in the cave.
Realizing this, the three of us looked at each other, and couldn't help but cry and laugh a little. Uncle Okawa had to persuade us that since the corpse raising ground could lead to the main room, there should be another way out. Naturally, I preferred to believe him, shrugged helplessly in my ears, and followed Uncle Okawa towards the passage leading to the main room.
Illuminated by the torches, we soon passed through the passage and came to the main chamber where we had entered during the day. I saw that the coffin had been opened, the three-layer nested sarcophagus had been shattered, and the two coffin covers, which were still intact, were hanging on the mud floor. I was about to go up to check it out, when suddenly I screamed in my ears and pointed to the top of the stone chamber, and froze in place.
When he looked around, he saw that the tentacles of the giant corpse flower ghost vine that had been seduced by the threaded rat and tied into a dead knot had been broken for some reason, and the remaining tentacles were desperately wrapped around a prey, strangling him into a twisted and deformed. When Uncle Dachuan and I stepped forward to take a closer look at the light of the torches, we saw that the "person" who was tragically pulled to the point of deformation and hung in mid-air turned out to be Feng Shui Zhou!
When we got closer, even after confirming the frightened round face behind the sunglasses, we couldn't believe that the slender corpse that had been squeezed and twisted actually came from the fat waist and full of energy. Just when I was still wondering what great changes he had experienced, the restless ear made a new discovery:
I saw that on the ground next to the coffin, there was a "person" lying on his back whose face had almost been melted off, and I could only judge from the figure and the pair of limited edition "Kobe 10" Nike basketball shoes that it was Liang Hu's corpse.
Uncle Okawa inspected the bodies of the two, shook his head bitterly, pursed his chapped lips, and wanted to say something, but he never said it. When I saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and saw that his expression was remorseful, I hurriedly enlightened him:
"Uncle doesn't have to blame himself, the top priority is to find the other survivors and escape together! Time is pressing, you have to cheer up, we still count on you to lead us out of this hellish place! Uncle Dachuan's words somewhat lifted Uncle Dachuan's spirits, calmed him down, calmed down, took the lead, and prepared to finally confirm that there was nothing missing in the next four weeks, and then took us to search for Ah Xia and the others.
I saw that he was gradually returning to normal, and he was also a little calmer, so I hurriedly shouted my ears and looked around the carpet together, and just went around the corner of the coffin, and saw a pair of women's feet faintly revealing under the lid of the coffin.
I hurriedly beckoned Uncle Dachuan to come over, carefully lifted the corner of the heavy coffin lid with him, and let the ears drag out the woman who was pressed in the triangular gap, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Zhang Yan.
As soon as I saw that Zhang Yan, who was covered in mud, she didn't seem to have been fatally wounded, so I quickly leaned down to help her check, and after confirming that she was only unconscious, I signaled Uncle Dachuan to use a medicine stick to wake her up.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yangang, who woke up, was helped up by us, and when she saw Liang Hu's faceless corpse, she almost fainted with fright. From Zhang Yan's mouth, we finally learned what the Cultural Relics Office and his party had experienced before:
It turned out that when Feng Shui Zhou asked Gao Maocai to take people to explore the main room again overnight, he was also startled at the living coffin, but fortunately he happened to encounter a strange corpse that was rushed by Uncle Dachuan from the corpse raising place behind the ridge and swarmed out. The group of corpses pulled the sarcophagus trap one after another, so that Ah Xia could see the clue, and then judged the trigger mechanism of the Moon Shadow sarcophagus, so he relied on his light skills like a swallow to use the climbing rope from the top of the rock wall to find the way, so that everyone could climb the climbing rope and avoid the group of corpses and traps to pass. When I heard this, I couldn't help but sigh, the sarcophagus that almost killed me hit the bell, and when I arrived at Xia Beauty, it was cracked so thoroughly in an understatement, in the end, the physical quality is not an order of magnitude.
Zhang Yan was still immersed in the grief and fear of losing Liang Hu, ignoring my reaction, and then said: After entering the main room, Liang Hu was greedy for merit, stepped forward to help Feng Shui Zhou and Gao Maocai shovel and smash the stone, opened the outer layer of the sarcophagus one after another to seal the silver paint, and finally opened the coffin. As a result, as soon as the inner coffin was opened, a thousand-legged centipede with a long hand and a lot of snakes and mothers crawled out, and the centipede bit the Feng Shui Zhou who was caught off guard, he screamed in pain, and the torch in his hand was also thrown into the air, burning the knotted tentacles of the corpse flower ghost vine, untying the rattan buckle, and in the panic, Feng Shui Zhou was entangled by the angry corpse flower ghost vine. At this time, hearing his shout, Boss Mi actually appeared at the entrance of the passage leading to the upper floor that we couldn't enter before, and saw that the poisoned Feng Shui Zhou was strangled to death by the corpse flower ghost vine, and he was so frightened that he turned around and fled into the passage behind him, Ah Xia chased after him, only to find that he had covered the hole from the door again. In order to avoid centipedes and snakes, others had to run around, during which Lin Hui seemed to have been bitten by the snake and ran to the bat cave behind. The others were chased by centipedes, so they had to run towards the Gu cave, and when Zhang Yan was about to enter the Gu cave, he was hit by Feng Jinhua and fell into an upside-down coffin lid, rolled to the ground, and was covered by the coffin lid that slid down from the sarcophagus. She saw through the gap that Liang Hu was about to step forward to help her get up, but half of her face was melted and died by the centipede spray poison that pounced.
After listening to her, I was thrilled, but I also had joys and worries: I was happy to hear that Ah Xia should still be alive, and I was worried that Ah Xia and her party actually made a mistake in their busy work and were forced into the Gu hole of the Tibetan child and mother snake by the centipede. When the ears on the side heard the words, they also kept chattering about the bad luck and the less, I just didn't dare to think about those bad thoughts, so I quickly scolded him and stopped, and then looked at Uncle Dachuan with inquiring eyes, naturally asking for his opinion, how to save people.
Uncle Dachuan naturally did not hide it, and said that until now, there is no need to "smell the wind and explore the cave", only to muster up the courage and choose a way forward. It's just that Lin Hui strayed into the dangerous bat cave alone, I'm afraid that it will be more than lucky, with our current state, it is difficult to fight the ferocious scarlet poisonous bat, we can only leave a mark, pray that she will turn out and see it, and we will go to the Gu cave first to find Ah Xia and the others, and then find a way to save Lin Hui after the convergence. As soon as I heard this, I naturally had no objection, so I found a tight branch, asked Uncle Dachuan for a fire source to make a torch, and the medicine box was whole, and I followed him into the passage to the Gu Cave. Zhang Yan didn't have much to do, so she had to learn from me, light a torch, and follow Uncle Dachuan. It was the ear guy who deliberately sneaked down at the end, and waited for Uncle Dachuan to walk away, only then did he smile and touch the distorted and elongated body of Feng Shui Zhou, and pulled out the bronze Lu Ban ruler and pinned it to his waist. I turned my head and saw that he still wanted to follow the gossip plate that was firmly covered under the tentacles of the ghost vine, and I was afraid that something would go wrong, so I had to urge him to follow, so he didn't make a move. Laughing heaps in response, jumping up and following.
Before leaving, Zhang Yan couldn't help but take one last look at the dead Liang Hu, only to find out in horror that the body of Liang Hu, who was obviously lying in front of him just now, had disappeared in a good way!
My heart tightened, and I deduced that it might be the scarlet poisonous bat that ran out of the bat cave behind and dragged the corpse away, for fear that it would be difficult to deal with if I stayed, so I hurriedly called Zhang Yan under the command of Uncle Dachuan, and hurriedly retreated to the passage leading to the Gu cave. As soon as he turned around, suddenly a stone the size of a door panel fell down due to a collapse, and landed right in front of the bat cave. When the ears saw it, they couldn't help but say: "It's good now, Lin Hui's mother-in-law is miserable!" We can only hurry up and find Ah Xia. "I looked, no, the stone slab that had not been buried in the earth had covered most of the hole, and it was probably difficult for people to get out, but those annoying scarlet poisonous bats should have been blocked inside and couldn't escape.
Carefully using torches to drive away the snakes and small centipedes that I encountered, the space gradually became more and more open, and I passed by the section of the road where silver fell from the previous section, and my ears naturally greedily picked up some and put them in my waist bag. I'm worried about Ah Xia, so naturally I don't have time to take care of this, so I just want Uncle Dachuan to walk faster and let me confirm Ah Xia's safety as soon as possible.
As the road widened, the true face of the Gu Cave was also revealed under the light and heat of the torches. This is a damp deep hole full of holes, and in the distance of five or six meters long that we have just walked, I saw that the walls of the cave, and the soles of my feet are covered with no less than twenty deep and shallow holes, and my ears are still muttering and wondering what these holes are for, Uncle Okawa has already said in a deep voice:
"Be careful! Those weird snakes may have crawled out of these strange holes! Before the words fell, sure enough, there was a piercing "sizzling" sound from the hole next to my feet, and then four or five large or small pointed "cauliflower snakes" swished out, and then, the snake's mouth poked out of a smaller small snake, the snake letter spitted up and down, and the sizzling sound was stacked with the previous female snake, which made my scalp tingle. I was afraid that these snakes would become sexual, so I had to strike first, hold the torch, roll through the hole, and burn the little snake that poked out of the hole with half of its body "hissing" and screaming, and it was lit in a short time, emitting a foul smell of corruption.
Almost at the same time, Uncle Dachuan, Ear, Zhang Yan's feet, and even on the rock walls around and above their heads, countless screaming snakes began to gush out, and it was like a "snake rain" in the cave......
was in a panic, fortunately, Uncle Okawa was in a hurry, took the lead in putting up his coat, set up a tent shape, covered his head, and led us to run, this time, even if there was a small snake falling on the top of the head, it was also bumped by us in the running and fell to the ground one after another, and in a moment, it passed through the deep cave and came to the cave.
With sharp ears and sharp eyes, he immediately shouted: "Little plum!" Look! Isn't that Ah Xia! Before I could answer, the anxious guy had already shouted into the distance: "Ah Xia, don't panic, look at my brother, my brother will save you!" ”
When I heard this, my heart shook, and I quickly glanced over, only to see that ten meters away, the agile figure dancing with a torch and walking swiftly in the center of the cave and the snakes was not Ah Xia, who could it be? Naturally, she heard her ears calling her, and looked at us, bowed her head slightly, as a gesture, and then the torches danced more and more briskly, and in the blink of an eye, they flew and ignited a number of snakes around her, and they were surrounded by the sea of snakes, and they also leaned towards us. In comparison, Gao Maocai and Feng Jinhua, who were shrinking behind her and hurriedly using torches to protect their bodies, seemed much more stretched. Seeing this, Ear hurriedly shouted, "Senior Officer, aren't you carrying a lighter?" Grab some thatch, light a fire, and separate the snakes! ”
Gao Mao only heard this, only then did he react, and hurriedly rummaged through his bag to find the lighter, but he just took out the lighter, but was drilled into his head by a small snake, which frightened his hand, and the firer immediately fell into the dark part of the potholed cave. This is not the worst, Feng Jinhua next to him was also anxious when he saw this, the torch in his hand was not steady, and with the wave, he was thrown into the snake pile, and there was a ball of snakes burning at the beginning, but in an instant, the flames were surrounded and covered by more small snakes rushing out one after another, and in the end, with a hula, it was extinguished!
When I saw that the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse, I was horrified, and I quickly let go of the hole under my feet, and prepared to rush over to save people. was about to throw off the big stride and walk, but was tightly pulled by Uncle Okawa. I was puzzled, but I saw him pointing with a torch and following the firelight, only to see clearly that the thousand-legged centipede that poisoned Feng Shui Zhou and Liang Hu in Zhang Yan's mouth had doubled, and was lying three or four meters away in front of me, greedily devouring a steady stream of snakes, and that body was already more than a meter long in a blink of an eye!
The four of us were stunned for a moment, and just as we were looking for a chance to get around, the centipede grew a little longer, spreading out more and more aggressively, and straddled between us and Ah Xia and the group, separating us.
To make matters worse, the millipede seemed to be stimulated by light and heat and sensed our presence. I saw that its green head was upside down, its bright black back was slightly arched, and after making a terrifying sound "whirring", it was caught off guard, and with a swing of its tail, it swept towards me and Uncle Dachuan, who were closest to it!
"Stand back!" As Uncle Dachuan shouted, he and I retreated sharply backwards, scaring the ears and Zhang Yan behind him into retreat and fell to the ground. The four of us adjusted our bodies, only to find that the centipede had converged into its shape, bent and curled up into an S shape, dancing its dense thin feet, and proudly crawled towards us.
"Plum, be careful that it sprays poison!" , I was still wondering why this poison climbed more than a meter in front of us, it stopped moving forward, and thought it was also afraid of fire, and suddenly heard Ah Xia in the distance see us standing still, afraid that we would repeat the mistakes of Liang Hu, regardless of the danger of the snakes, and screamed hard.
It was too late to say that it was fast, Ah Xia's voice just fell, I only felt that it was dark in front of me, and a large cloud of black thick mist had spread towards us with lightning speed, I instinctively retreated one after another, but obviously couldn't catch up with the speed of the poisonous fog spraying, and I was about to be hit, fortunately, Uncle Dachuan retreated early, and when he flew back, he put his hand on my shoulder, and pulled me back violently, which could pull me to the end, although my ass hurt hard, but I was not hit by the poisonous fog. However, when I stood firm, my legs and feet still hurt, and I was shocked, it turned out that the quick-drying pants had been worn out during the previous waterfall battle with the corpses, and the centipede poisonous mist stuck to the pants, and it still seeped into a little along the crack.
It's just that the situation doesn't allow me to be distracted. As we retreated one after another, the poisonous fog was still spreading, and the already dark cave was rendered more and more dim, even Ah Xia's heroic figure gradually blurred in the firelight, I was worried about Ah Xia's condition, how could I stand this torment, and I was so nervous that I was anxious to burn, and the stench was actually mixed with pungent nose, and suddenly I had a whim, relying on the smell of needle water on weekdays, I found that the poisonous fog was thick and smelly, and it seemed to have a sulfur smell.
Uncle Dachuan saw that my pace was slow, thoughtful, afraid that I would be impulsive, and just wanted to pull me back, but I had already bucked the trend, calculated the momentum of the spread of the poisonous mist, raised the torch, and went up.
Only then did I hear the sound of "snorting", and the flames suddenly flew high, and the thin poisonous mist was immediately ignited, turning into a blooming red lotus, and the snakes in the holes in the four walls of the cave were only scorched and scorched. Immediately, the tongue of fire flowed, and along the poisonous mist, it burned the centipede's head, and burned the flying and domineering millipede king to the ground, and relied on countless children and mothers who were covered with countless dodge-induced snakes to extinguish the flames on the body.
At this moment, my ears hurriedly bypassed Uncle Dachuan and Zhang Yan, who were stunned, walked to my side, patted me on the shoulder, and complained to me in a trembling voice: "Brother, which one are you blocking?" If this hole is narrower and smaller, we will all be blown up into the sky by your nonsensical sky lantern! Before the next fire, remember to inform your buddies and stay away......"
I suddenly came to my senses and thought about it calmly, it was true that what I had done just now was too reckless and dangerous, and I just fought hard in order to quickly solve the centipede to support Ah Xia. However, none of this mattered, and when Ah Xia and I saw each other through the dissipated poisonous mist, we both breathed a sigh of relief with a little peace of mind.
It's good you're still there.
