Chapter Eighty-Four: The Tide of Corpses

The cotton-like flowers under our feet made us unable to run at all, and stumbling with a deep foot and a shallow foot could only be regarded as a slightly faster crawl, and the purple-skinned corpses behind us were much faster than us, almost reaching the edge of the sea of flowers in the blink of an eye.

The distance between the two sides is definitely no more than ten meters, but unexpectedly, the situation of being knocked down by a group of corpses was not found, and the disgusting corpse stench in the air became thicker and thicker.

Then I remembered that this flower had a strong restraint on corpses with nourishment on corpses, and the red colors came to life after coming into contact with the corpse tide, wrapping them around the corpse as quickly as a polyp, and when it pounced on another corpse a few seconds later, the previous corpse was no longer a slag.

"It's time to catch our breath, these flowers can help us take out the zombies." Leizi took a few deep breaths to adjust his breathing, but Daoist Mo was not so optimistic, he said that there were too many corpses behind the door, and they were still gushing out until now, and he didn't know if the flowers here could be completely digested.

We could only be forced backwards by the tide of corpses, the number of corpses was staggering, the speed of absorption was far from keeping up with the speed of those corpses, and the situation finally improved after we were forced back for hundreds of meters.

There are not many corpses that can still move under the light of the flashlight, and the restless sea of red flowers has gradually calmed down, I took a few deep breaths, and when I touched my forehead, I found that it was full of cold sweat, and the Mo Daoist next to me stared at me and sighed, "There was almost a big incident, don't be too anxious." ”

I didn't speak, it was my recklessness to make a big mistake, and Leizi on the side patted me on the shoulder and smiled comfortingly, "It's okay, it's okay in this way, those corpses rushed out and were killed, and we can also go inside the door to see if your brother is really inside." ”

"Well, it's really a good thing in this regard, let's go and see what's inside the gate of the underworld."

Daoist Mo walked in front with a copper coin sword, Leizi and I followed behind him, those purple-skinned corpses had disappeared under the attack of the flowers, I saw a few wriggling clusters of flowers a little disgusting, some purple-skinned corpses still wanted to struggle inside, but soon the flowers dispersed and everything came to naught.

Back in front of the three doors, the underground gate had been crushed into pieces by the corpse tide, and after the flashlight was shot in early, you could still see the purple-skinned dried corpses lying on the ground scattered in the morning, these things did not come to life with the corpse tide.

The space inside the door is not an enclosed space, and a glimmer of light can be seen at the forefront, but it is not too close.

The three of us looked at each other and cautiously walked through the door, the stench of corpses inside making my stomach gush through.

Leizi took out a bottle from his pocket, "You guys come out of the cloth, I have some potions here to remove poison and odor." ”

Mo Daoshi and I each took out a towel, and Lei Zi poured some green juice from the bottle on it, and after I tied the wet towel to my head, the bitter smell inside the towel really blocked the smell of corpses.

"Good thing, what kind of material is this made of?" I asked curiously, and Leizi smiled, "Trade secrets, it's better not to ask." ”

"Stingy, even if I knew, I wouldn't have robbed you of your job like this." I was a little upset, I was going to ask something to write a book in the future, but this kid was tight-lipped and had a zipper on his mouth.

"One of them must be black dog pee, right?"

Mo Daoshi's casual words made my stomach swell a little, I quickly turned my head to look at Leizi and expected to get a negative answer, but I didn't expect this guy to smile, "Mo Dao is well-informed, and he can smell it at once, it is indeed the case, in addition to black dog urine, there are some insect juices." ”

"Don't say it, I'm about to throw up!" I retched a few times and waved my hand quickly, it's better not to know, and now it's not that I don't pick up the towel that covers my mouth and nose.

The three of us walked through the cave and observed the purple-skinned corpses on the ground, their clothes were just simple fur wraps, and they looked like they were barbaric.

"It's about 2,000 years old."

Daoist Mo squatted on the ground and carefully fiddled with a dried corpse, he majored in Taoism and minored in history, and he had his own opinions on these things full of age, he said to us: "I originally thought it was a person from the Tubo Kingdom, but now it seems to be wrong, and it should be even earlier, it should be Tang Yang or Faqiang."

These two Qiang people established their respective kingdoms around Guluo, which is today's Lhasa, which led to the later state of Tubo, and I guess these corpses may be one of the victims of the later establishment of Tubo, and the internal contradictions of the Qiang people at that time were also very deep. ”

"Well, the relationship between the ancient Qiang people and Miao Jiang is also very close, and our Gu art sect also has a lot of records about the Qiang people, and they focus on sacrifice and prayer." Leizi also nodded and said.

"We're not here to engage in archaeology, let's find Jia Ren first, I don't know what this Immortal Ridge has."

I sighed, and Daoist Mo got up and said, "It doesn't hurt to figure out the environment and history here for what we are going to do, and if we can speculate what happened here, maybe we can figure out the purpose of those people coming here." ”

"It's better to grab that group of people and ask directly, Jia Ren is borrowed to resurrect his soul and I don't know how long he can last." I reminded, and Daoist Mo nodded, "I know in my heart, let's go to the place where there is light first, and I also want to find out what exactly called you just now." ”

I shuddered unconsciously when I thought of Jia Ren's shout just now, I did hear it clearly, but they didn't hear it at all, I don't agree with it if it is an auditory hallucination.

After stepping over countless corpses, we came to a cave door, which can be described as brightly lit, inside the arched door is a space of hundreds of square meters, the terrain is flat and the top of the head is arced, and an oil lamp is hung in the middle.

The flames burned vigorously, and the air was filled with the smell of grease, and I speculated that the fuel was some kind of animal fat, and as soon as Mo Daoist looked up, a drop of oil fell in front of him, and he squatted on the ground and sniffed it, and the muscles on his face suddenly twitched.

"What's wrong?" I asked, and the other party exhaled, "The lamp is made of human fat, and I don't know how to make a candle from a person." ”

"The lampshade is still human skin." Leizi, who was lying on the wall of the cave looking at the oil lamp, said something, and the more I listened, the more creepy I felt.

This single space is a bit strange, and there is not a single corpse here, even though there is a mountain of purple-skinned dried corpses outside.
