Chapter 367: Tooth Marks
The atmosphere became more solemn, and the arrogant smiling face of that person appeared in front of my eyes again, he has always been my nightmare, even if he died, it would disturb my life.
Lao Huang's suspicion is not unreasonable, except for us, the one who is most likely to know the road is him, I have more contact with that person than anyone else, he knows the use of jade, and it is not strange to know here, this person has been lurking in the shadows, and there is his shadow from beginning to end, maybe he has followed Brother Shen and knows this road.
But he is dead now, and when everything doesn't make sense, the most unlikely thing is the truth, which only shows that he is not dead, and is still ahead of us.
He knew that he couldn't get in without jade, so what was he doing here? He probably wanted to ambush us, but why did he make himself look like this and return early, no, he should have fled, there must be something extremely dangerous in front of him that even he didn't expect.
"Don't think about it, he's dead." Nineteen was very sure.
"How can you be sure?" Lao Huang pointed at Ah Chuan, his voice was full of suspicion, "When you said that he was already dead when you saw those corpses, it was a beast that killed him, and you didn't kill him with your own hands, how can you be sure that it was him?" ”
Nineteen and Ah Chuan were silent, this kind of thing is unfounded, their attitude was very strange at the beginning, like deliberately concealing it, but now they don't make it clear, I'm afraid they won't be able to go again, who can guarantee that person won't come back and forth, and follow us again.
The shadow of the desert trip is still there, if the front is really full of crises, it will be bad to be attacked by the enemy at that time, I am a little annoyed, this person is really ghostly, like a fly.
"He's dead, I can smell it." Brother Shen suddenly spoke, unable to see his emotions.
The surroundings fell silent again, Lao Huang and I both knew how smart Brother Shen's nose was, he said that if that person died, he must be dead, I looked at the bloodstain, and suddenly felt even more afraid, if it wasn't for him, who else would come here?
Could it be that there are other enemies hidden around us? Lao Huang's gaze immediately shot at the Mo family like a knife, we must be innocent, Brother Shen is not like an enemy when he is alone, if there is really an abnormality, it can only come from the Mo family.
"See what we're doing? We don't know anything, do we? Ah Chuan spread his hands and said, "No matter who it is, it's been two or three days since we left here, our purpose is to unlock the blood curse, and it's not a tomb robbery, what are you worried about?" ”
The sense of fear gradually dissipated, Ah Chuan was right, as long as we enter the mausoleum, the initiative is in our hands, and those who can come to this kind of place are either tomb robbers or scientific expedition teams, our purpose has nothing to do with them, even if we really bump into them, there will be no conflict, then there is nothing to worry about.
In contrast, the unknown danger ahead is more worrying, and Lao Huang has no intention of pursuing it, so don't look away: "It's nothing good to follow you, let's go, who you love, anyway, it's a shuttle thing, I'm afraid of a bird." ”
No one accosted, Brother Shen went forward again, my heart was heavy, we knew that there were tigers in the mountains, biased towards the tiger mountain, the road ahead was a lot wider, I took a flashlight and looked carefully, the left and right sides and the ground did not let go, and I did not see any more bloodstains.
The crevasses in the glacier gradually opened up, and now we were able to walk side by side, but it was a little cramped, and we still maintained our original formation, and I could feel the slightest cool breeze blowing from the darkness ahead, very subtle.
Without the refreshing feeling felt all the way, the air gradually filled with the smell of decay, it seems that the mausoleum is not far from us, and after walking for nearly half an hour, we saw a few white bones frozen into ice lumps on the road ahead.
It's people!
We walked all the way, it was the first time to see human skeletons, Nineteen and Ah Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to check, I also walked over, only to see that the flesh and skin of their bodies were gone, the bones were dark brown, and there were also traces of dark reddish-brown in the ice below, their mouths were wide open, the bones of their whole bodies were twisted, and several joints were broken, and they were connected together, and they were not normal deaths at first glance.
I've seen more terrifying corpses, these are really nothing, I squatted down to take a closer look, only to feel a layer of cold sweat on the back, only close to find that the bones of their whole body are dense tooth marks!
Their flesh and blood were gnawed off by something, but these tooth marks were not too big, nor sharp, they always felt a little familiar, and the things that gnawed on them didn't seem to know how to eat, just gnawed around, looking at the depth of those tooth marks, even if they really gnawed off the flesh, I am afraid that the teeth would be about to be knocked out.
"So exaggerated?" Ah Chuan smiled strangely, as if he knew what it was gnawed on.
"Do you know what they were bitten by?" I asked.
"Of course, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I've heard of it."
Ah Chuan smiled at Nineteen and took my hand, I didn't know what he wanted to do, I always felt that something was wrong, I just wanted to withdraw my hand, it was too late, he quickly brought my hand to his mouth and bit my wrist lightly.
"What are you doing?"
I was taken aback, pulled my hand back suddenly, and then looked at the bite marks on my wrist, only to feel a numb scalp, this bite marks are exactly the same as those on the bones, no wonder I feel familiar, these scars are actually bitten out by people!
I immediately made up a tragedy in my mind, we can't tell the age of these people's deaths, they may be the modern scientific expedition team, accidentally strayed here, but were trapped here, until the food ran out, and became cannibalism.
My expression must have been terrifying, but Ah Chuan smiled: "What are you thinking?" Don't worry, it can't be bitten by a living person, people don't have such a large bite force to leave such deep marks on the bones, their joints are twisted, even if it is really a human cannibal, you have to beat people to death, how can you gnaw when you are alive? ”
This guy is definitely a devil, how can he say such a terrible thing lightly, Nineteen's face is not good-looking, he raised his flashlight and shone at the glaciers on both sides, my body couldn't help but tremble, I saw that the glaciers on both sides were covered with scratches of white flowers, the scratches were criss-crossed, extremely chaotic, like wounds, scratched in the heart.
It can't be a human-inflicted mark, I can't imagine any creature that would have the claws to climb freely on a vertical glacier and have human-like teeth, which is weird.
"Let's go, walk forward and you should be able to see it." Ah Chuan put his hand on my shoulder, leaned close to me and smiled.
I waved his paw away in annoyance, and seeing that he seemed to know everything, this guy's bad taste was back again, and I asked him now that he would definitely not say anything.
"Ah Chuan, Xiao Qi, you go in front of Daze." Nineteen spoke suddenly, and as he spoke, he walked backwards to the end of the line.
What does that mean? I didn't understand at all, I only heard Lao Huang snort coldly behind him, took out the gun and loaded it, I also pulled out the short sword and held it in my hand, no matter what it was, it would eat people.
We walked forward for more than ten minutes, the smell of decay in the air became heavier and heavier, and there was a faint smell of blood, my heart beat like a drum, but Brother Shen did not slow down, and soon I heard a very small rustling sound in the darkness ahead, and if I listened closely, I could hear it coming from the glaciers on both sides.
There's definitely something on the glacier!
I could feel Lao Huang's breathing becoming cautious, but the others didn't look vigilant, Ah Chuan and Nineteen definitely knew what it was, did they think these things were not enough to pose a threat?
There was a small corner ahead, and when we turned around, we saw strings of bright red attached to the glaciers on both sides, emitting an eerie red glow in the darkness.
I was shocked, it was those monsters, it was those who died from the blood curse!
No wonder the Mo family knows it, because Nineteen has also been in close contact with them, no wonder Nineteen has to retreat to the end of the team, let me walk in the middle of the team, led by Brother Shen, these monsters will not attack the three of us, especially Brother Shen, they seem to be extremely afraid of him, and they hid far away last time they escorted Lao Huang away.
The withered bodies clinging to the glacier fell down as we went, their long unkempt hair covering most of their faces, and they looked up at it for fear that the god brother would not dare to come down, and their necks twisted into an angle that humans could not reach, even though they knew that they would not come down, they still felt terrified.
There was silence around them, their movements were very light and light, and the swift movements were followed by a long period of stagnation, and the uninformed would surely think that this was a group of lifelike sculptures.
When Lao Huang saw the true face of the monster, he was obviously much more relaxed, and said in a low voice: "Why is there this ghost thing in this place?" ”
"This is where they should come, if they die due to the blood curse, they will become another kind of grave keeper, guardian jade, guardian lord, Daze, maybe many of them are your ancestors." Achuan's voice came from the front.
There are too many of them, it seems that in addition to my family, there are many people who have been contaminated with blood curses, but they are all dead, only me is left, if the Mo family hadn't burned my father's body that night, maybe I would have seen him here.
I looked up at these living dead, and there were not so many waves in my heart, even if my ancestors were really mixed in, they were all fate, Ah Chuan said, they were killed by their own desires, although I don't know what they were pursuing, but they harmed the younger generations who knew nothing, in all fairness, they were the culprits who caused my father's death.
I didn't look up again, there were often slight rustling sounds in my ears, but they didn't attack us, I took the flashlight and looked carefully at the ground and the lower part of the glacier, and there was no blood, the person who fled didn't seem to be injured here.
Who is he? Only the blood-stained and the "dead" can pass through here, is there a grave keeper like me in the world?
