Chapter 76: The Taste of Blood
The more I stared at her, the more uncomfortable it became, but I couldn't help but look at it, Brother Shen didn't have any expression next to him, he didn't seem to be afraid of these strange things at all.
"Let's go inside."
Lao Huang probed and looked into the hole, took out a flashlight to shine, my eyes were still firmly on the female corpse's face, I really couldn't help but pay attention to her eyes.
Lao Huang took the lead in getting in, I couldn't help the discomfort, and I stepped over the female corpse and wanted to follow, but suddenly saw the female corpse's eyes move.
I was startled, and I lifted my foot and stepped back, stumbling on the rock under my feet, and planted it straight backwards.
Brother Shen grabbed me from the side, and I shook my body a few times to stand firm, staring straight at the female corpse.
"What's wrong?"
Lao Huang bent over and peeked out of the hole and looked at me suspiciously.
"Her eyes move!"
I called out, and I did see her eyes move, and it looked noticeably different from what it had been before, her vertical pupils, which had been a straight line, were now visibly bent to the side, and looked very strange, as if she was smiling in sympathy.
The corpse is alive?
I tugged at Brother Shen's clothes, nervous, and Brother Shen obviously noticed something unusual, and his brow furrowed.
"What the hell am I going to ......"
Lao Huang also saw it, he quickly got out of the hole, stood next to me, and leaned over slightly to look.
I really admire Lao Huang's courage, I am now half-squinting, leaning sideways, with a dodging posture, he dares to take a closer look, who knows what will happen in the next second.
Her eyes moved again!
I could see it very clearly this time, and so did Lao Huang and Brother Shen, who took a step back in an instant and raised the sapper shovel.
The female corpse's eyes began to turn violently, like two yo-yos stuffed in their sockets, I know this analogy is very inappropriate, but it really turns very fast, the vertical pupils are completely invisible, if her eyeballs are still connected to the optic nerve, the optic nerve must have been twisted.
"Writing wheels!" It's rare that Lao Huang can still complain.
"What does your writing wheel look like this?!" My heart was beating out.
However, it only took a few seconds for her eyeballs to slowly stop, and I saw her eyeballs bulge, and the vertical pupils were squeezed to the side, and there was a red bulge in the eyeball.
It's not the eyeballs that move, it's this strange thing!
It seemed to be struggling to drill out, but Brother Shen suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked the female corpse at this time, his strength was very great, and with a "hiss", the female corpse was washed out along the water, and soon disappeared from our sight.
There was still half a piece of flower cloth hanging on the stone ridge next to the cave, and the water became unimpeded, and the flower cloth was washed away in an instant, and there was no trace of it again.
It all happened so fast that I barely could react, and Brother God was so neat that he seemed to think it wasn't worth wasting our time on an unrelated corpse.
He took the flashlight from Lao Huang's hand, bent down and got into the hole, I was slapped by Lao Huang to recover from the situation just now, and also bent down to get in.
I felt weird in my heart, I knew it was definitely not a good thing, but I didn't see it at the last minute, like something was missing.
Brother Shen was too calm, I didn't expect that there would be such a solution to the matter, that thing is terrifying, so just kick it away.
I was reminded of a story I had read before, what if I woke up one morning to find blood coming from the faucet in my house instead of water.
If it were, I would have been shocked and tried all sorts of ways to figure it out, but there are always some people who are different and who choose to turn off the faucet.
I don't know why I think of this, my feelings are very complicated now, and I just entered the cave and encountered this kind of evil thing, which inevitably left a shadow in my heart.
The cave was bigger than I expected, the rock walls were very irregular, completely natural, and it was very humid inside, with the sound of water dripping from the ceiling constantly.
I thought it would be cool, but it was actually very hot and there was a sense of lack of oxygen, and when I looked up, there was a stream of water flowing through the left side of the cave, and the water was very clear, and the left half of the rock wall was very smooth, and the white and yellow rocks showed a flow of water, which looked beautiful.
I couldn't help but reach out and touch it, the water was cold and sliding over my fingertips, but the rock face was rough and didn't match the smoothness it looked like at all.
My hometown of Yishui is also an obvious karst landform, I once went to play, there are dark rivers in it, and only a small part of it has been developed.
This place is definitely bigger than the karst cave in my hometown, this incomparably vast mountain area may be all empty underneath, and the terrain here is ten thousand times more complex than the crater of Ba Qing, if it were not for the humanoid jade finder of Brother Shen, we may not be able to find it in our lifetime.
Beneath your feet is the stream, which must be part of an underground river, the water is shallow, you can't reach the instep, the bottom of the cave is very irregular, and the bare and exposed rocks and water flow are intertwined, which is very difficult to walk.
Unexplored caves are not a good place to explore, getting lost and lack of oxygen are one thing, and the complex water system is another.
I kind of regret that we didn't expect to enter a place like this, where there is probably a very deep water and we should bring diving equipment.
The caves here are complicated, if you can swim, it's okay, but I'm afraid that some sections need to hold your breath to dive, just rely on my breath-holding skills, it is difficult to swim dozens of meters.
We followed Brother Shen to the depths of the cave, and we quickly turned a corner, and the cave was very empty, dark and dreary, and I took out a flashlight.
The water flow under my feet is very clear, what I am most afraid of is that something suddenly comes out of the water, but now it seems that everything is normal, I raised the flashlight to look at the top of the cave, only to see that the top of the cave is full of dense stalactites, some stalagmites are very long, has been connected with the bottom of the cave, and the road ahead is not smooth.
But this kind of landscape is really very beautiful, I feel like I am traveling, those scenic spots are completely incomparable to here, this is the real karst cave, complex and strange, natural.
I don't know how beautiful it is if the cave is filled with lanterns, I feel that my mind is not on the jade, and the perennial erosion of the water constitutes a miracle of nature, and these stalagmites have different shapes, thick and thin, constituting a wonderful underground world.
We walked through the stalagmites, and from time to time they were scraped, and it was quiet, as if they were isolated from the world, and it was difficult to walk under my feet, and I had to look at them all the time, many of them had edges and spikes, and they were easy to hurt when they touched them.
It's the same with the top of the head, these stalagmites are very sharp and hard, and it is not pleasant to pierce them, and it is like walking in a hole with sharp blades in all directions, and we must always be careful.
There were many forks in the road where we passed, some of the caves were so narrow that no one could walk, some were wider than the one we were walking on, and the roof of the cave was also different, and we walked through several places where there were open openings, but these caves were very narrow, some could only see a little light, and some were crooked on the side of the roof of the cave.
These open-air openings have increased my confidence that we don't have to go back the way we came, as long as there is a hole to drill out, and it is better to walk outside than in a dark cave.
We had gone into the depths of the cavern and turned many corners, and Brother Shen was walking very fast, and he seemed to be in a hurry.
He came to a sudden stop at a fork in the road, and I almost hit him, and I could feel the cool breeze blowing in from the small hole, which must have led to the outside of the hole.
Brother Shen turned his head to look at the narrow hole, his eyes did not blink, the cave was dark and faint, I raised the flashlight to shine, I could only see a stalagmite, the hole seemed to be very complicated, not suitable for walking at all.
"I smell it." He suddenly opened his mouth and said something inexplicable.
"What?" I asked.
He didn't say anything more, I turned my head to look at him, his expression was very cold, there was obvious hatred and murderous intent in his eyes, I saw his throat rolling, his fists clenched tightly.
"What do you smell?"
I involuntarily reached out and grabbed him, his expression was very scary, just like when I was under the snowy mountain, I was panicked, I felt as if he was going crazy again and was about to throw me down.
But he didn't, he exhaled heavily, as if sighing, and he looked at me with no lesser vigilance in his eyes.
"The smell of blood."
He spoke quickly and in a low voice, and I felt confused and scared: "What blood?" Someone fell in? ”
He said no more, but stepped over a few stalagmites and headed for the narrow cavern.
I was completely confused, his appearance was much more terrifying than under the snowy mountain, at that time he mentioned that person was only jealous and disgusted, and he also had killing intent, but it was not heavy, and now he is completely like not killing people and not stopping.
"Jade here?" I asked.
He had squeezed into the hole, and answered vaguely, as if he wasn't sure.
We had no choice but to follow him, Lao Huang was rarely quiet, I turned my head to look at him, only to see that his eyes were full of suspicion.
I also squeezed in, the hole was very narrow, I squeezed a few thin stalagmites, there was no way to walk in it, we could only squeeze around in the cracks of the stones, there was no road under our feet, the small stalagmites were very sharp, and I could poke a hole in the rubber shoes when I stepped on them.
We almost walked on the smoother stalagmites, jumping around like plum blossom piles, but I'm sure there would never be such a difficult plum pile in the world.
The stalagmites hurt the soles of my feet, and the blood blisters under my feet must have been squeezed out of several times, and I couldn't feel the blood and sweat mixed together, I had already taken medicine, and I shouldn't be infected.
Fortunately, this section of the road is not long, the cave gradually opens up, and we have a relatively gentle foothold, there is no water flowing under this cave, but the stalagmites above my head continue to drip down, and several times fall on the top of my head.
We walked a little further, it was a long way, the slope was going down, and there were a few difficult places that were grinding, and we turned another corner, and I suddenly smelled a faint rancid smell.
