Chapter 78: The Other One
This is A, but not Agawa's, I was very surprised, I thought there was only one such thing in the world, but it appeared again.
Lao Huang didn't move, Brother Shen didn't move, the cave was in a weirdly tense and dazed atmosphere, they were both looking at me, their eyes were full of questions.
"That...... You're too dirty, go wash it? ”
I felt like a fool/fork and was cautious about talking to this little thing, but it just stinked so much that it was covered in a viscous mixture of blood and bodily fluids.
The unexpected happened, it actually jumped down, crawled into the water and rolled quickly, and I saw a trace of blood peel off its body, and it slowly revealed its original earthy gray, and the fine scales glistened in the flashlight.
Brother Shen and Lao Huang looked at it and turned their heads in unison, they wanted to hear my explanation, but I also didn't know anything.
I watched them laugh awkwardly, Lao Huang once heard me speak, frowned and asked me, "What is this you said?" ”
I nodded: "Yes, A, it's definitely not Achuan's, I don't know what's going on." ”
"It listens to you......"
Lao Huang's voice is very unconfident, we are all in a daze now, we have just experienced some fear, and things have suddenly subsided, making it difficult for people to adapt for a while.
A crawled back, it looked very well-behaved, like Achuan's one, climbed up and curled up on my wrist, its body was very cold, I was very nervous, my hands were shaking all the time.
It's been a long time since I've worn a watch, and the sudden addition of something on my wrist makes me feel bad, and it's so dangerous, I'm afraid it's going to get into my body and shatter my internal organs in the next second.
I raised my hand to touch it, it curled up tighter, Lao Huang trembled and stretched out his hand to touch it, but it suddenly lifted its pointed head, so frightened that Lao Huang immediately retracted his hand.
", what the hell? You are allowed to touch it, but I am not allowed to touch it. "Lao Huang looked depressed.
I shook my head with a wry smile, feeling that my hands were stiff, I was the one I was most afraid of, and the memories of the past came flooding back like a flood, and those scenes that had long been unclear passed in front of my eyes again.
This armor seems to have been in my house all the time, and the old horse will be attacked when he goes back inexplicably, it should be protecting my family, there is only my father in the family except me, is it my father's?
This is very likely, my father knows Ah Chuan, I don't know what he has experienced, but Ah Chuan has a Jia, and my father may also have it, but he passed away, and Jia has no owner, so he came to me.
This explanation makes sense, but I don't understand how it found me, and if it is the master of my father, then what am I? Does it understand that we are father and son?
My mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, my mind was in a mess, I couldn't sort out these threads, I guess more was speculation.
I suddenly felt weird, if we hadn't escaped that night, wouldn't the future have been different? It's a pity that it's a foregone conclusion, and I think it's useless.
I moved my body and stood up, I sat in the cold water, my legs and feet were unconscious, Lao Huang and Brother Shen also leaned against the stone wall next to me, I turned my head to look at the floating corpse of the old horse, I felt incredible.
The thorn we were most afraid of was pulled out, but there was no sense of relief in my heart, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, I don't know if this little thing brought me a blessing or a curse.
My idea is very simple, that is, to go with Brother Shen Lao Huang to unlock the blood curse, but now that there is suddenly an extra armor, I will definitely be drawn into another battle, those forces that are about to move were originally far away from me, but now they are suddenly closer, and the storm seems to be right in front of my eyes.
I can't imagine the consequences, let alone what my father went through, and he was inextricably linked to those who were hiding in the shadows, but I didn't know anything about it.
I felt like I had a * wrapped around my wrist, I was in a mess right now, this creature called A had a lot more abilities than I had ever imagined, I thought it was just a hard body and fast, I didn't expect it to be able to manipulate corpses and feel me.
I fled from Yishui to Lijiang, how did it feel at such a distance? I can't imagine that it can cross most of China to find me, the corpse of the old horse is so hideous, how did it come about? Wouldn't anyone find out?
It all became a mystery, and I was quiet for a while, and then I felt that the stench of corpses in the cave was extremely strong, several times stronger than what I had smelled at first, and I looked up to see that the old horse's corpse was still floating on the water, but his muscles began to fall off like cotton wool, and he should have rotted to the point that only hair and skeleton remained, but A gave him a complete body.
It was a very strange scene, the decay that should have happened slowly under natural conditions was like pressing the fast-forward button, I saw his skin and muscles falling as if dissolved, floating in the water, his bones began to appear, the thick rancid smell was beyond my ability to bear, I raised my hand and covered my nose tightly.
Lao Huang was the same, but Brother Shen didn't move, his eyes were not on Lao Ma, nor on me, but at the depths of the cave, at the roads that were blocked by countless stalagmites.
The environment here is no longer suitable for rest, looking at the rapidly decomposing corpse no one can eat, but the fright just now made me unable to walk, and Lao Huang still looks frightened.
I leaned against the cave wall, stunned to look at the old horse, I don't know what it feels like, the old horse went to my house privately, not he I killed, but the thing that killed him is now in my hands, and it seems that I still regard me as the master.
I couldn't help feeling guilty, as if I had killed him indirectly, and I thought that the old horse's corpse would bring me some news, but there was nothing but a piece of armor.
I still don't know what he was going to my house for, it was my house, a place I knew very well, I had lived there for more than twenty years, and I didn't even know what was hidden in my house.
I didn't see A when my father died, I came home later than everyone in the village, I don't know where A was hiding at that time, why it didn't attack the villagers.
I should go back again, now that the matter of Lao Ma has been settled, I can also go back, if I can get the jade smoothly this time, I will go home and go through the house thoroughly.
"The smell of blood you're talking about is him?" Lao Huang asked suddenly.
Brother Shen shook his head, his face was still so ugly, his eyes kept looking into the depths of the cave, I was a little stunned, I thought the smell of blood he said was the old horse, but I didn't expect someone else.
The old horse can enter this cave, there must be an exit on the way he passes, this is good news for us, I have had enough of the fear of pitch black under the snowy mountains, although the caves here are a thousand times more complicated, but there are many exits.
"Let's go." Brother Shen spoke.
He seemed to be in a hurry, he was completely attracted by the smell of blood in his mouth, I don't know how he smelled it, the smell of corpses was so strong now.
I moved my body and felt a little better, I took the sapper shovel from Lao Huang's hand, and the armor was motionless, as if dead, but I didn't dare to move, I didn't know what it thought of me, it was likely to attack me suddenly.
Lao Huang went to pick up his sapper shovel, and I heard him curse in a low voice behind him, and he took the sapper shovel and held it up in front of me.
"Look at what your little thing is doing."
I saw that the blade of the sapper shovel had torn a hole, and the blade near it was curled, and the armor hit the sapper shovel, but its body was harder than titanium steel, and if it hit the center of the shovel head, it was likely to pierce the shovel head directly.
This is titanium steel, I don't dare to imagine how powerful the armor is, I only felt the speed of Achuan's armor when it killed Zisha, and the body of Zisha must be very hard, but unfortunately I didn't have the courage to confirm it.
This is really a killing weapon, I always thought that Brother Shen could do anything he wanted, but he couldn't catch A, I suddenly had a bottom in my heart, if this A really recognizes me as the master, then wouldn't I even be able to contain Brother Shen?
I was inexplicably excited, as if I had returned to the time when I was a child, and I was ashamed to do some of the things I did at that time.
"Let's go, it stinks." Lao Huang complained beside him.
The stalagmites in front were very dense, but we must have gotten by where the old horse walked, and we walked into the water, I don't know if it was because of the corpse of the old horse, I felt a terrible coolness in the water.
We were literally walking in corpse water, and those flocculent muscle fibers rolled up and down in the water with our steps, and I felt so sick that I couldn't hold back and not want to look.
But I couldn't help it, I felt very sad, the person who used to talk and laugh with me died like this, even the body was rotten into a mess, if it was before, I would definitely take him out and bury him next to his master, but now I have a weak heart.
I feel like I'm becoming apathetic, I'm getting more than less, what I've been holding on to is getting away from me little by little, I don't know what the future will become, I'm afraid I'm going to become the most hated person I used to be, but it seems to be a law, and no one can escape it.
Brother Shen's goal has always been clear, I don't know if what he is looking for now is still jade, he walked into the place where the old horse had walked, where the stalagmites were knocked to pieces, but it was still difficult to move forward.
These broken stalagmites emitted a heavy stench of corpses, and there were some black unknown liquids sticking to them, and I tried to hide but still rubbed a lot, the road here was too difficult to walk, and I couldn't possibly not touch them.
The stalagmite-strewn trail wasn't long, and we walked out quickly, the cave in front of us became narrow, and we walked in the water all the time.
