Sacrifice yourself for your life

After the blood sacrifice, it suddenly happened

Darkness, sudden darkness.

The entire dungeon was shrouded in a strange atmosphere in an instant.

The two vicious dogs are still staring at the people who are about to break in, so that we can't help but feel chills when we stand in front of the door.

The wind, the biting cold, mixed with the stench of decay, invaded each of us the moment the fire receded.

I shuddered, and my gasoline-soaked clothes seemed to suck up every bit of heat from me as fast as they could.

I hurriedly took two steps back, quickly withdrew the wet clothes on my body, and changed into the one-piece military uniform that Zhang Chengyong handed me.

"Are we really going to climb in?" Zhang Chengyong turned on the wolf's eye flashlight, shone the seven-step snake on the two statues, and then looked at me and Xiaomei and asked.

"That's right!" Xiaomei nodded and said.

"Why do you have to climb in? Can't you just walk in openly? Zhang Chengyong looked at Xiaomei and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you notice the two guys over there?" Mei said as she pointed to the place on the left where the vicious dog approached the door.

And when Zhang Chengyong used the wolf's eye flashlight to shine in the direction of Xiaomei's finger, he gasped violently. Because, in which position there are actually more than a dozen people lying down.

Judging from the clothing, some of them are wearing coarse cloth clothes from the late Qing period, some are wearing military uniforms from the warlord period, and of course, there are also people in one-piece military uniforms like those guys just now, it is obvious that these guys belong to tomb robbers from different periods, but, one thing is the same, their deaths are extremely miserable, their bodies are stiff, and their exposed skin is pitch black, those foreign soldiers don't mention it, they may only have been dead for a few hours, and what surprised me is, After the death of those tomb robbers in the late Qing and Republic of China periods, except for the loss of beards and hair, the skin on the body did not mean to rot at all.

It's so strong, so domineering poison! I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"These guys were killed by these snakes?" Zhang Chengyong exclaimed.

"Shhhh Be quiet! Hearing Zhang Chengyong's voice, Xiaomei covered his mouth. However, it was still a step too late, and the snakes that had been lying on the statue all of a sudden raised their heads, stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, and looked at us with their fluorescent green tails.

"Aren't snakes deaf? How can they be so sensitive to sound? I asked quietly with a frown.

"These snakes should not be the seven-step snakes we know in the traditional sense." Xiaomei said coldly: "They should be the legendary Jörmungad." ”

"Jörmungad? What is that? Zhang Chengyong asked.

"I haven't seen it either, but I've heard my grandfather tell me a story about Jörmungård a long time ago." Xiaomei said and took a deep breath, looking as if she had mustered up a lot of courage to dare to think about that story, "Jörmungandr, is the second child of the Hellbringer and the Serpent Mother on Earth, he is no more than a meter long, his head is triangular, with extremely hard scale armor, and his tail can emit a faint light, which is the medium that communicates between the world and hell, so that it can freely shuttle between hell and the world. However, although it is not large, it has extremely evil power. Seeing that its evil power was too strong, the Buddha once put it in the sleeve of his robe and wanted to use the Dharma to influence it, but he had no intention of repenting, and the resentment in his heart not only did not decrease, but increased day by day, and in desperation, the Buddha had no choice but to beat it into the deepest canyon of hell so that it would never be reborn......

"And then?" Zhang Chengyong saw Xiaomei pause and hurriedly asked.

Later, it naturally escaped and cultivated a large number of believers to try to seek revenge on the Buddha. In the end, of course, it didn't succeed, and the Buddha once again sealed it in the infernal abyss of hell. However, there are still many people in the world who believe in it......" After a pause, Xiaomei said: "At first, when I saw these two vicious dogs, I was suspicious, and I have been wondering why the guard dogs of animal hell have snake tails, and now it seems that if I am not mistaken, this Yuk should be a believer in Jörmungandr. ”

"You mean that these snakes are the incarnation of Jörmungandr?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"That's right! This is a group of messengers from hell! Xiaomei gritted her teeth and said.

"Then why are we crawling in?" Zhang Chengyong asked curiously.

"These guys are different from ordinary snakes, they can feel the body temperature, movements, breathing, and even heartbeat of warm-blooded animals, and everything that enters their sphere of influence, whether it is a human or an animal, will become their meal, so it seems that there are only two ways for us to go now......" Xiaomei said and paused.

"Those two roads?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"The first way is for us to find a way to get a little bit of body temperature!" Xiaomei said and looked at the dead people on the ground, and then at the cold lake.

She didn't continue to speak, and of course she didn't have to say anything more, because Zhang Chengyong and I already understood what she meant, if you want to have no body temperature, you will either really become a dead person, or jump into the lake parasitic with wire worms, and become a living dead without thinking.

"And what's the other way?" I looked at Mei and asked.

"The other path is much simpler, you two just need to climb and get through safely." Xiaomei looked at me and Zhang Chengyong, and she smiled at Zhang Chengyong in an extremely rare way, smiling very gently and sadly.

"We're crawling past, so where are you? What are you doing? Zhang Chengyong looked at Xiaomei and asked nervously.

"Of course I have something to do! A sucker! Although Xiaomei is still scolding, she is smiling and scolding, the smile is very sweet, very beautiful, indescribable, beautiful and heartbreaking.

Although Xiaomei was still laughing, the movements in her hands did not stop, and she pulled out the spare saber on her waist with her backhand, and made a hole in her wrist with a "swish", and blood gushed out in an instant.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Xiaomei's action, Zhang Chengyong on the side suddenly shouted. "Xiaomei, are you crazy?"

"Get up! This is the only way for you to pass through this place safely. Saying that, Xiaomei pushed away Zhang Chengyong, who rushed over, and then walked straight to the middle of the two vicious dog statues, knelt down on a circular totem engraved with a diameter of about two meters and was engraved with incantations, and dripped the blood on his wrist on the strange totem on the ground one by one. Strange to say, when Xiaomei's blood dripped on the ground, the originally wet and smooth ground suddenly rose white smoke, and then there was a "click, click" sound on the ground, and the ground around the totem began to fall little by little, and then a thick, fishy red liquid began to pour up along the collapsed gap.

"This ...... What's going on? Zhang Chengyong looked at Xiaomei in surprise and asked.

"This ...... It's a blood sacrifice! I said in surprise.

"What is a blood sacrifice?" Zhang Chengyong asked in surprise.

"A blood sacrifice is to use one's own blood as a sacrifice to complete the sacrifice! Once the entire ritual is completed, the blood of the sacrificer will be completely drained. In that case, Xiaomei won't be able to live. I shouted.

"Xiaomei, why are you doing this? Is there no other way? Zhang Chengyong was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"I didn't ...... Without! Xiaomei turned around and smiled at the two of us, at this time her face had begun to turn pale because of excessive blood loss, those Jörmungader attached to the statue had raised their heads at this time, they were staring at Xiaomei, staring at the blood flowing out of her body, some had begun to continue to swim downstream, they were eager for blood, eager to get the sacrifice of the living, but Xiaomei did not have the slightest fear, she was still laughing, the smile was still very sweet, she said to Zhang Chengyong: "Jörmungard is an extremely bloodthirsty creature, Only fresh human blood can appease them. Whereas...... And these guys will fall into a dormant period again after they have sucked up the blood, and at that time, you just need to lie on the ground and crawl slowly over without alarming them. Brother Yong, I can't accompany you to the end, I don't want you to die, so I can only do this, you must be careful on the road ahead! To ......"

Before Xiaomei's words were finished, suddenly a series of loud noises rang in my ears, "Da Da Da ......".

Gunshots, gunshots from the M16!

The sound of a bullet passing through the chamber of the gun is light and agile, and the sound of the bullet gushing out and the metal colliding with the shell when it falls is extremely beautiful!

This is a kind of cry, a cry from the depths of Zhang Chengyong's soul!

Accompanied by the sound of gunshots, there was also Zhang Chengyong's roar: "Your uncle, I won't give Xiaomei as a sacrifice to you!" Xiaomei is me! Ah......h

The effective killing range of the M16 is about 500 meters, and although there is no way to compare its lethality with the famous AK47 in a semi-automatic machine gun, however, at a distance of several tens of meters, its power is quite amazing. With Zhang Chengyong's strafing, Ye Mengjiad, who was originally swimming towards Xiaomei, was beaten into snake mud in an instant, and blood and flesh were splashed everywhere, and several pieces of snake skin even splashed on Xiaomei's body.

"Tianyi, what the fuck are you waiting for? Don't save Xiaomei for me! Zhang Chengyong shouted: "Lao Tzu, I'll cover for you!" Crawling in? Lao Tzu, I want to let these broken snakes know today who I am Zhang Chengyong! ”

"Roger!" With that, I took two steps towards Xiaomei, but as soon as I reached the edge of the altar, the thick plasma-like liquid that had been just attached to the totem suddenly seemed to have life, and they pounced on me.

They moved quickly, and I barely managed to dodge the attack with a subconscious roll back, but due to the suddenness of the incident, the soles of my shoes were still stained with a little of that damn liquid, and I heard a "bang" and a puff of white smoke rose instantly. "It's so corrosive!" I was shocked.

What makes me wonder is that these liquids don't seem to have the intention of chasing me, and after they succeed in one blow, they actually return to Xiaomei's side, constantly surging and agitated.

"Tianyi, what are you waiting for?" Zhang Chengyong shouted after killing more than a dozen Jörmungader who swam towards Xiaomei.

"These liquids are weird!" I shouted.

And just before I could finish my words, all of a sudden I saw a lot of things in these liquids gradually stretching out, and they were actually human hands.
