Sanjiang Sinking Grave Chapter 13 Coffin Boat
After the five of us got on the stone bridge, the white-clothed ghost didn't chase after us. I saw that the scene on this side of the stone bridge was different from the other side. The former underground river has merged into a larger river here, indicating that we are walking lower and lower. And it is getting narrower on both sides of the river, and the water of the river is getting deeper and deeper. Unlike the previous ones, there are many more stone statues on the stone walls, but the expressions of the stone statues are different, as if they had experienced great pain in their lives, and this pain has been locked again. And these stone statues are hung on the roof of the cave, and some stand on the steps of the cave wall. Seeing these stone statues, I always feel an indescribable taste. The cannon said on the side: "Seventh brother, why do these stone statues look like living people?" I simply don't want to be a carved thing. ”
A strange atmosphere suddenly hung over us, but we couldn't say what was wrong, so we had to be careful, after all, the place we were in was more dangerous than before. Based on what we have seen along the way, we should be closer to the main tomb. But being careful makes the Ten Thousand Year Ship, the previous events have made us feel uneasy, and we don't know what will wait for us behind. So being careful is king.
We found a small sandalwood boat that had been used by the craftsmen who had built the tomb to transport materials, and we saw that it was the same size as the previous one, but the hull was painted with red paint. Seeing such a ship in this dark environment makes people feel very strange. And only the ship looks like a coffin. We shine our searchlights into the distance, and there are quite a few ships that have sent down such red coffins.
The cannon said, "Look, how does this ship look like a ghost ship?" I said, "Fuck your uncle, don't scare yourself." Although it looks a little weird, whatever the ship, we're going to sit down today. At this time, Li Tong said: "I came into contact with a colleague before and said that this kind of red coffin boat appeared at the junction of the living and the ghost world. But I don't know if the coffin ship here will be the same. ”
I said, "Professor Li, there is no other means of transportation to cross this river, and the only way to cross the river is to take these coffin boats. "At the moment, everyone thinks this is feasible. So we chose a coffin ship with a good quality. Wait for Professor Li to go up first, and then we'll go back again. When the cannon got on board, he said, "Don't say it, these coffin ships are really sturdy." "It's possible that these coffin boats may be used to transport something," Professor Li said. "But at the moment, none of us know what this red coffin ship is used to transport.
Just as we were about to land on the shore, Xiao Yin suddenly shouted, "Dead man". We looked together, and there were several human skeletons on the shore not far away, and what seemed to be a bow and arrow was placed next to them. The cannon teased: "What a fuss, isn't it just a few dead human bones." "When I approached the cannon, it was seven repeating crossbows, and there were quite a few bows and arrows in the bag next to it. We thought we might be able to use it on the road, so we just put it in our backpacks.
After walking for about twenty minutes, we found that there were more and more coffin boats in the water, almost blocking the entire surface of the water. This does not bode well. And when we approached the coffin boats to the other coffin ships, we only heard a click, as if something was broken. This has not stopped, and the chain reaction has spread to other places as well, with only the sound of countless objects falling into the water being heard. It must have been some kind of trap that was triggered when we approached the other coffin ships.
We shone our searchlights past us, only to see countless stone statues in the distance falling into the water. We all looked at the scene in horror, but there was nothing we could do. In less than 10 minutes, all the stone statues fell into the water. But nothing out of the ordinary, but rather unusually calm. But this kind of calm makes people even more uneasy inside.
Suddenly, Li Tong pointed to the stone statues coming in and out and said, "Look, these stone statues are like melting when they enter the water." "We're all secretly saying that some kind of calamity is coming. We all watched the water carefully. After a while, something like white foam appeared on the surface of the water. After a while, the whole river was filled with this white, and it became a white river. After a while, the white foamy objects were floating towards us.
What's worse is that these white foams seem to move and spread quickly. In a short time, the stone walls were filled with these things. Li Tong said anxiously: "You see that these white objects move on their own, as if they are alive. Professor Li said: "If there is no error in judgment, this white thing should be a kind of thing called a water bee in Miaojiang, but these are only in the warming stage, and have not yet hatched into bees." Legend has it that this wasp is a creature that feeds on the blood of humans. ”
"This creature is very rare, and it is said that it needs to be hatched with a human body. The method of making these hatched mothers is called the technique of scabulation, which is a kind of insect eggs planted in the human body in advance, and then sealed when the human is almost four. This ensures that the eggs are kept in such a state that they are kept in isolation from the air. I added, "The stone statues on the stone walls and on the roof of the cave in front of me should be the parasites of these water bees." ”
Soon the water bees were plastered all over the hull, and we tried to disperse them with torches in our hands. Although many water bees are being relied on to die, there are more and more things on the surface of the water. And what's worse is that these things also hinder us from moving forward. At this time, the cannon pointed to the stone wall not far away and said in horror: "Everyone, look, what is on the stone wall." "At this point, we realized that there were two green eyes on the stone wall, and the big green eyes were the size of lanterns. It scares the hell out of us. We turned our searchlight over and took a look at one of us, where there was a black-scaled python hovering over the stone wall in front of us.
It's not surprising that there is such a giant python in this environment, but what does this thing eat to sustain its life? Just thinking about it, I saw the black python province jump into the water, and when it landed, a huge wave was set off on the water. I saw that the black python was swimming wildly in the water, sometimes burrowing into the bottom of the water, sometimes jumping on the surface. The current situation made us even more uneasy, afraid that it would follow us. And with our current coffin ship, it can't withstand its toss.
All four of us took out the repeating crossbows we had seen earlier, and kept our guard at all times. After a while, the water bees on the surface of the water were devoured by the python. I saw a python swimming towards us quickly.
