Chapter 183: Cracks in the Ancient Ship
Accidentally captured and met a friend
The vicious corpse spirit is in crisis
"You...... You...... Can you ...... ...... let go of your hands first? "I was shaken by this guy, I felt that the whole skeleton was about to fall apart, and I gritted my teeth and barely managed to squeeze a few words out between my teeth.
And that Wu Fan didn't seem to hear the words in my mouth at all, the strength in his hand was getting bigger and bigger, he grabbed my collar with one hand, pressed my whole person on the pillar, and pinched my neck with the other hand, with a strange red light in his left eye, gritted his teeth and giggled and said: "If you don't cooperate with me, I will let you return to your place here today, and let you go to see your family in the underworld." ”
"I'm not...... I'm not trying to tell you...... I...... I didn't know where that entrance was...... Where is it? I was almost breathless by him, and it was as if some of the air in my chest had been drained from my chest without saying a word, and after I had said this, I was almost dizzy, and the feeling of nausea irritated my stomach, and my eyes were almost bursting.
"You know that! You know! Wu Fan grinned, and streams of saliva with the peculiar smell of earth smoke sprayed on my face, "You ......"
When Wu Fan said this, he suddenly snorted, and then, as soon as the whole person became weak, he fell to the side obliquely.
And as Wu Fan slowly fell, a face that I was very familiar with slowly appeared in front of me, but at this time, she was so miserable that I could hardly recognize her.
She is ICE.
"How are you?" I looked at Ice and asked in surprise. "Aren't you ......?"
"What am I not?" Ice was talking to me, but instead of looking at me, she was cautiously looking around.
"What are you looking at? Is there anything that can't be found around here? I asked, surprised.
"Shh Ice put her index finger to her lips and made a silent gesture, then squatted down, untied the rope that bound me, and then quickly tied the rope to Wu Fan's body, and tied a dozen strange knots, which looked very similar to some kind of sailor's knot I had seen in magazines before, but it was not quite like it.
Not only that, but the position and shape of the rope looked like some kind of enchantment that I didn't know much about.
I looked at Ice suspiciously, but she didn't look at me, just focused on tying the knot.
Five minutes later, she had already tied Wu Fan firmly, but she still didn't seem to be at ease, and after carefully checking it three or five times, she sighed and said softly to me: "Help me carry him to the middle of the plank!" ”
"What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised.
"Don't ask! I don't have time to explain, so help me put him in front of the altar! Ice said solemnly.
"Hmm!" Seeing such a positive expression on ice, I didn't say anything more, stood up and carried Wu Fan with her to the position of the altar in the center of the ship.
Although Wu Fan was hit in the back of the head by ICE just now, ICE seemed to have consumed too much physical energy before, and the force of the blow just now was not as great as imagined, plus it was tossed again, and Wu Fan had gradually regained consciousness at this time.
Seeing that he was tied into a zongzi, Wu Fan shouted, "You guys...... What do you want to do......"
As soon as Wu Fan's words came out, a fist slammed into the bridge of his nose, and suddenly a stream of blood spilled out like a fountain, splashing everywhere.
"If I were you, I wouldn't talk!" ICE looked at Wu Fan and said coldly.
"You ...... You ......" Wu Fan endured the pain, gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but as soon as the words came out, two punches were waiting for him.
Although Ice is a girl, her kung fu and strength are no worse than those of any sturdy man.
Ice looked at him coldly, and didn't speak, as if she wasn't tied to a person at all.
"You ......" Wu Fan originally wanted to say something, but seeing Ice slowly raising his fist, he decisively chose to shut up.
Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, it seems that Wu Fan knows this truth very well.
Ice tore off a large piece of cloth from Wu Fan's clothes and stuffed it into his mouth, causing Wu Fan to retch, but he couldn't make a sound.
In order to prevent Wu Fan from pushing the piece of cloth out with his tongue, ICE pulled another piece of cloth and wrapped it around Wu Fan's mouth, carefully checked it several times, and after confirming that Wu Fan could no longer make a little sound, ICE turned his head to look at me and said softly: "Hurry up!" It's too late! ”
After speaking, she took out an ancient knife from her waist that she didn't know where to get, aimed at Wu Fan's back, chest, arms and legs, and stabbed seven times in a row.
Her movements were fast and precise, and the position of the knife seemed to be rehearsed many times.
Hot blood gushed out as the ancient knife was pulled out, as if it was a firework composed of blood, blooming around Wu Fan.
The ancient knife in Ice's hand didn't stab too deeply, but Wu Fan was still in pain and almost fainted.
Ice quickly finished the movements of her hand, stopped looking at Wu Fan, turned around and took my hand and ran towards the mountain wall on the right side of the wooden boat.
"What are you doing here? Where are we going? I asked as I ran behind Ice, I really had too much to ask.
Ice didn't answer me, but ran vigorously towards the right side of the board.
Seeing that Ice didn't answer, I asked again, "You suddenly disappeared when you were in the stone tower just now, where are you going?" Did you see Lao Zhang when you came? ”
"He's been captured!" Ice first made a silent gesture at me, and then whispered: "Just when you were brought here by this guy, Zhang Chengyong was captured by a group of dwarf mules!" ”
"Dwarf mules? What is that? I asked, surprised.
To be honest, it's not the first time I've heard the word dwarf mule, and my earliest impression of the word comes from the movie Crazy Boy, where the characters are usually in charge of the gangsters in the rivers and lakes, collectively referred to as dwarf mules.
Therefore, I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this word at this time, but I naturally also knew that the people who arrested Zhang Chengyong would definitely not be those gangsters in society.
"It's a mandrill-like creature! I heard that they can wander between the two worlds of yin and yang, and they are a kind of half-spirit! Ice whispered as she ran briskly forward, "But those are just legends. In fact, most of the so-called dwarf mules are just some high-IQ primates. ”
Highly intelligent primates - when I heard this word, I couldn't help but think of another movie, The Rise of the Apes!
Well, maybe I'm thinking too much, but I hope those guys' combat effectiveness isn't as tough as Arthur in the movie!
While I was thinking about it, ICE had led me to a crack on the right side of the mountain, which was not very large, only one meter two or three in height, and only wide enough for two people to stand side by side, and only a little more than three meters deep.
This cave is naturally formed, but it appears on the right side of the deck impartially, and it is not known whether the ancients did it on purpose or if it was purely a coincidence.
I ran briskly into the cavern with one of my feet, and as soon as I stepped into the crack in the rock, I heard a scalp-tingling rustle coming from where we had just been.
I didn't have to look back to know that it was the sound of snake scales scraping against the ground.
And at this moment, groups of black and red short snakes are surging from all directions, the longest of these snakes is only the length of the forearm, the thickness of the thumb, and the whole body is exposed to a strange dark red ripple, looking from a distance, this thousand poisonous snakes are like a huge black and red wave, and they swept towards Wu Fan at the altar position in the center of the deck.
Not only that, but there were hundreds of pairs of fluctuating red light in the midst of this group of snakes, and the blood-like light was extremely strange, as if it was a ghost fire from hell, flickering bright and dark, up and down.
And as these guys got closer, I realized that the pair of red lights like ghostly fire actually came from the eyes of rats the size of cats.
I saw that these rats were extremely ferocious, they bared their teeth, squeaked from time to time, and some of them also tore the fragments of the city with poisonous snakes in front of them, causing a commotion in the ranks from time to time.
"It's a corpse! There's a corpse here! "I couldn't help but sigh when I saw those big rats with red eyes.
Some people may ask, what is a corpse spirit?
Actually, quite simply, corpse spirits are rats that have eaten the flesh of dead people. These rats generally live underground, in ancient tombs, and when there is no food, they will choose to gnaw on the dead in the coffin. And that kind of dead person often has corpse poison on them.
After absorbing the corpse poison, the body of the mouse will undergo some strange changes, some will die with a whimper, and some will have red eyes, and their physique will skyrocket, becoming a corpse spirit.
And the rats that have become corpses, their teeth and saliva are highly poisonous, and ordinary rats are different, these guys are not afraid of people, on the contrary, after eating human flesh, they are full of craving for human blood and human flesh, and often haunt the deep mountains and old forests in groups.
Once there are corpses in some places, the families in those areas will soon suffer, ranging from frequent attacks on livestock to a single skeleton that will be eaten away from the entire village overnight.
I had only seen this kind of thing on some supernatural impurities a long time ago, and I always thought that they were all made up, but I didn't expect to encounter it in the ancient ship tomb under the stone tower today, and I couldn't help but gasp.
I turned my head to look at Ice, only to find that Ice had run into the hole, and had quickly climbed to the ground, motionless, muttering something softly.
At first, I didn't hear clearly, but later, I also climbed down, and then I vaguely heard that Ice next to me was silently checking the count:
"One, two, three...... XXXII, XXXIII, XXXIV...... Ninety-eight ......"
