Chapter Twenty-Five: The Black Dagger
I hurriedly ran towards the cave, but I saw that the cave was surrounded by a large mound of graves, which were overgrown with weeds, and at first glance it looked like it was a little old, and the yin qi was very thick, shrouded in a thin blue mist, and from time to time I could hear one or two strange noises from unknown things.
If it were normal, I would definitely turn around and run when I encounter this kind of ghost place, but this time is different, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, I will have to break through.
I don't know why, the main purpose of coming here this time is obviously to renew my life, but at this time, I take it very lightly as whether to continue my life, but I am more concerned about the situation of safety.
The entrance of the cave is sealed by some spider webs, and no one has been in it for a long time, and it is about two meters high and more than two meters wide, and it is not crowded to walk inside.
It's pitch black, I can only rely on the phone's built-in flashlight function, a little bit of groping forward, fortunately I didn't encounter a fork in the road or anything, otherwise I really don't know what to do.
After walking for more than a minute, I suddenly felt that I was kicking something, and when I looked down, it turned out to be a skeleton, and I saw a lot of terrifying things, so a skeleton would not surprise me.
I went inside, but the further I went, the more dead bones there were on the ground, and it was not hard to imagine the piles of corpses here.
I quickened my pace, and the further I went, the more I could smell a pungent fishy smell, and after about five minutes I finally came to a wide place, thinking that this should be the end of the cave.
I held up the flashlight function of my mobile phone and took a look around, and saw that the hall was not very large, and then I began to look for the black dagger that An Ran said.
After looking for a few minutes and getting no clues, I began to get anxious, thinking that this place was not big, if only there was a light on inside.
Just as this thought flashed through me, the whole hall suddenly lit up with a single breath, as if someone had turned on the lights.
I made up my mind and looked around, only to realize that it was not a lamp, but the oil lamps around the hall that were lit, and the oil oil was squeezed with something, and it smelled like a corpse rotting.
At this point, I didn't have the heart to study why the lights came on automatically, and I was mentally prepared to come across something that was going to be something that was going to be in the middle of nowhere, and if everything was normal, I would feel something was wrong.
It was imperative to find the black dagger as soon as possible, and I looked around the hall, and by the light of the oil lamp, I finally saw what the hall was like.
Oval-shaped, about the size of two basketball courts, surrounded by a mess of dead human bones, as if there had been a fierce fight.
Some of the bones still had tattered clothes on them, and they were rotten due to their age, but they could still be vaguely identified as robes or something.
To my surprise, I stumbled upon a pair of red high heels in the east near the rock wall.
The pair of high heels looks very new, there is no dust on them, and the style is also very exquisite, and it looks like a new model that has only been released in the past few years.
The two shoes were neatly placed there, and they looked out of place in the whole hall.
I don't know why, I even thought that Enron would look good if she wore these high heels, and wondered if I should bring these high heels back to Enron. But after thinking about it, I felt that something was not quite right, how could a girl like An Ran wear the shoes she picked up.
After I came back to my senses, I slapped myself on the head, what time was it, I was still thinking about picking up girls, I really convinced myself.
Then I looked around the hall for a while, but I didn't see the black dagger that Enron had said.
Just when I was at a loss, my eyes suddenly fell on a raised stone platform in the center of the hall, which was about one meter high and about three meters long, and there were some strange patterns carved on it, and the whole thing looked like a sarcophagus.
And I didn't care about that, I saw a black cloth on the top of the sarcophagus, and something seemed to be covering it underneath.
I wondered if the dagger was down there, and with that thought, I walked towards the black cloth.
To be honest, when I walked next to the black cloth, I was a little hesitant in my heart, because I had experienced too many terrible things, and now I became suspicious, and countless terrifying images emerged in my heart, such as when this black cloth was uncovered, would there be two eyeballs staring at me or something like that.
But now I have no way out, and An Ran doesn't know what to do, so I put my heart sideways, gritted my teeth, and stretched out my hand to remove the black cloth.
I don't know what's going on, but the moment I just stretched out my hand, I suddenly felt my entire chest suddenly tighten, my nose was sore, and I had the urge to cry, as if I wanted to see a long-lost relative.
I didn't know why it was happening, but I didn't think much of it, I just gritted my teeth and reached over, grabbed the black cloth with a kick, and then pulled it hard to the side.
Whew-
At this moment, a black mist burst out, and I felt like I had fallen into an ice hole.
After this black gas dissipated, I was pleased to see that there was indeed a black dagger inserted below, the dagger was simple and unpretentious, the style was very simple, but it gave people a cold and neat sense of comfort.
The sarcophagus below, where exactly one of the seals, was carved with a strange pattern the size of a palm, which looked like a flower, and the tip of the dagger was just nailed to the center of the flower.
I stretched out my hand and grabbed the handle of the knife, and the moment my skin touched, I felt a cold chill spread all over my body, and I couldn't help but shiver violently.
However, this feeling did not make me feel uncomfortable, but there was an indescribable sense of comfort in my heart, like holding an object that I had not seen for a long time, and there was a strong sense of closeness.
And the moment the dagger was grasped by me, it also made a buzzing sound, which felt so familiar to me.
I pulled upwards with all my might, but the dagger didn't move, but as I did, I felt like everything around me was shaking, like an earthquake.
I didn't panic too much, though, it seemed like I had expected it, and I knew it wasn't going to be easy before I entered the cave.
I emptied my mind and didn't think about anything, but I just tugged at the dagger harder, and as I got stronger, the more it shook around, and I could hear the ghost crying wolf, as if far away, as if it were in this hall.
Even though the tip of the knife was stuck in the sarcophagus, I couldn't pull it out no matter how hard I tried, and fine beads of sweat began to bubble up on my head.
At this time, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the messy bones of the dead on the ground, and they also began to wriggle, as if they had life, and they were scurrying on the ground.
In a few moments, they were assembled into complete skeletons, making clicking sounds, writhing and slowly approaching me.
It freaks the hell out of me, skeletons aren't scary, but moving skeletons aren't.
I lifted the dagger up with all my might, but it was like it was on the lid of the sarcophagus, and no matter how hard I tried, it didn't move.
By this time, the skeletons were getting closer and closer to me, and there were about a dozen of them, making clicking noises and grinning mouths.
I don't know what happens when I get close to those things, but I'm sure it's not a good thing.
But the dagger still couldn't do anything, and my strength was almost exhausted, just when I was anxious, I suddenly felt someone push me from behind, and I leaned forward suddenly, and at the same time, the palm of the hand holding the dagger also slipped down a little.
I accidentally touched the blade, the blade was so sharp that I only felt a numbness in my palm, followed by a piercing pain, and blood instantly flowed out of my fingers.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the dagger in my hand was light, and with a slight force, it was easily picked up by me!
At this time, the skeletons behind me were also less than a meter away from me, and they stretched out their dry claws and grabbed at me.
Hmmm-
I instinctively slashed the dagger in front of me, but I didn't expect the skeletons to be cut off in an instant, and then scattered all over the ground.
Before I could think about why this dagger was so powerful, I heard a rumbling sound behind me.
When I turned my head to look, I found that the lid of the sarcophagus slowly slid to the side, and a strong stench suddenly came from the sarcophagus, choking me and almost vomiting.
I don't know what it is, but I don't want to care, I don't have that much curiosity at this point, so I just turn around and run.
I didn't know that after a few steps, I felt that my neck was entangled in a slippery and greasy thing, and then pulled me to the side, and my whole body flew out diagonally, and I fell to the ground with a bang.
I felt like my bones were falling apart, and I struggled to get up from the ground with my teeth bared, and when I accidentally saw the contents of the sarcophagus, I was dumbfounded.
I thought before I came that I would definitely encounter some strange things, but this thing in front of me still gave me an extremely shocking visual impact.
It wasn't the shape of an ordinary goblin, it looked like a large, slippery octopus, blood-red, with countless arm-thick tentacles covered with egg-sized suckers covered in a viscous liquid.
The head, on the other hand, is the outline of a human face, but much larger than an ordinary person's face, like a big water tank, with a hideous face, like a splicing of rotten pieces of meat, how disgusting and disgusting.
Especially when it opens its mouth, it reveals a row of fine black teeth inside, which makes people feel frightened and at the same time, they also feel their stomachs turn upside down.
Then a tentacle quickly reached out towards me, as fast as lightning, and I knew that I would not have time to escape, so I raised the dagger in my hand and swung it at the tentacle.
