Volume 8 Devil's City Chapter 133 The Scorpion Army

Damn, it turned out to be the skull of a yak!

You must know that in this plateau, the yak can be described as a hegemon, with a huge body, strong bones, and adult yaks weigh more than a tonnage, and wolves and lions do not dare to step forward easily when they see him.

But why are his bones here?

And looking at the degree of corruption of its bones, it is estimated that it has died here a long time ago, Li Xiaorui glanced at it and said, it may be an elderly yak, its life has reached its limit, so it died here.

I sighed, the master didn't say anything, at the moment we rode a camel, towards the distance of the Demon Gong City, this Demon Gong City near the wind and sand, one after another, but just as we walked forward, the more wrong it became.

At first I didn't feel comfortable seeing the skull of a yak, but slowly, we found more and more animal bones!

When we walked to the vicinity of Mogong City, it was already full of corpses!

Cows, sheep, wolves, lions, yaks, including human bones, all of them! The white bones buried in the yellow sand were blown by the strong wind, and the three of us were stunned at the same time.

If you want to say that the yak carcass you saw at the beginning is the product of the natural cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, then what is going on with this large piece of forest white bones now?

Could it be that when these animals feel that they are about to die, they all have to come to the Devil's City to die?

It is said that there is a Vientiane pit in Southeast Asia, there is a large cave in a primeval forest, and thousands of elephant bones are piled up in it, and later after expert investigation, it is because when the elephants feel that they are about to die, they will slowly approach the cave, and then lie quietly on the ground and wait for death, so there are thousands of elephant bones.

And is this the same as the Vientiane Pit?

Even if this statement is true, what about the person? It is impossible for people to come here when they are dying, right? In my impression, the Han people are buried in the ground after death, and they pay attention to the whole corpse, and it is best to have burial goods.

There is a kind of celestial burial among the Tibetans, that is, after a person dies, his family members let his body be placed on the cliff, and the vultures will eat up the flesh of the corpse, which means that the soul of the person will fly to the sky with the vultures and fly to heaven.

And some ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, the funeral is also strange, but no matter how strange it is, at least it won't be blamed until they die, they have to come to this place regularly, right?

There is no shop in front of the village in this devil's town, and when you come here when you are dying, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up, right?

I, the master and Li Xiaorui, the three of them looked at each other, and at this time they all felt a cold chill welling up in their hearts, I said cautiously, Master, do we want to continue to move forward?

The master squinted and observed for a while, and then said, keep walking, I don't understand other aspects, at least I haven't felt the yin qi yet, at least there will be no yin spirits.

Since there were no yin spirits to haunt me, I felt a lot more relieved, and now we continued to walk forward, and when the sun was about to set, we finally arrived at the legendary Devil's Town.

This devil's city has long been a remnant of the rock wall, the wall left is only more than one person high, the wall is also full of yellow sand, the master and the three of us bridge camels walk in this city, the master said, a little bigger wall will be found, we will spend the night here tonight.

We walked on until we reached the very center of the city, when we found a slightly higher wall, and the master set up the camels, and then took out his sleeping bag and handed it to us.

Damn, it's as hot as a mouthful of hair during the day, and it's unbearable cold at night, so I hugged my arms tightly and got into the sleeping bag in one go, and only the master was still sitting cross-legged at the base of the wall.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and we didn't feel much sleepy, and behind this high wall, all the wind and sand were blocked out, although the wind was still whistling in our ears, but at least the yellow sand would not be blown all over our faces.

I whispered to the master, master, this devil city is different from the legend?

The master was stunned, he was meditating cross-legged and opened his eyes, and he asked me, why is it different?

Isn't the legendary Devil's Town a city? Say how mysterious and mysterious the architecture of this city is, come here to see, this Demon Gong City is completely a remnant rock wall, you see the desolate near here, except for the yellow sand, there is nothing else.

The master squinted his eyes and smiled and said, Gua Wazi, you don't understand this, the legendary Devil City is not something you can see if you want to see it, the real Devil City is buried under the yellow sand.

I gasped and said to myself, "Devil's City built underground?" That's kind of interesting.

The master said, well, tomorrow I will look for the direction of the Devil's City, anyway, it must not be far from here, you go to sleep first, the three of us take turns to keep vigil, I will be the first to start, and when I am sleepy, I will call you, and when you are sleepy, I will call the female doll, I will say okay.

As soon as it got dark, I asked Tingting to put in the Soul Ring, after all, I didn't want her to follow me on the adventure, at least she was hiding in the Soul Ring, I still felt more at ease.

The master squinted and meditated, and Li Xiaorui and I lay in our respective sleeping bags and fell asleep, although the wind and sand whined outside, but hiding in this wide wall, it still felt relatively comfortable.

I don't know how long I slept, the master patted me on the shoulder and said, Gua Wazi, get up, I can't bear it, I have to rest first, I crawled out of the sleeping bag with hazy sleepy eyes, and then I gave a sigh of grace, and the master went to sleep, and when I got out of the sleeping bag, I first leaned my back against the wall for a while, and eased my mind.

Then he stood up and looked around.

The Gobi Desert in the dark night is extremely desolate, except for the yellow sand and yellow sand, except for the wind or the wind, but the stars overhead seem closer to the ground and look brighter than usual.

I looked up at the starry sky, and I really felt the insignificance of human beings, and I was like a speck of dust in the yellow sand of this sky.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came to my ears, at first I didn't care, I thought it was the sound of the wind blowing the sand, but slowly, I felt that something was wrong!

The rustling sound was getting louder and denser, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to us, and I thought to myself, what is going on?

At that moment, I stretched out my hand in front of my face, squinted and stood up, and looked around, in this dark night, the wind was howling, and it was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see anything at all, just when I was about to sit down again, suddenly a large black shadow surged on the sand in the southeast corner!

The shadow was like a big black carpet that swept across the ground, and when it met the wall, the black shadow would even go around!

As the black shadow got closer and closer to us, and the rustling sound slowly became louder and louder, my eyes widened, and I hurriedly groped for the flashlight from my arms, but the more anxious it became, the more I grabbed the flashlight in my hand, one was unstable, snapped, and fell to the ground again.

I quickly picked it up, turned on the flashlight, and shone towards the black shadow on the sand.

The black shadow turned out to be one after another pure black scorpions! The scorpions were dense and crawling fast, and the rustling sound was the sound made by these thousands of scorpions crawling together!

Like the sound of neat footsteps on the march! It's just that the army of scorpions makes a rustling sound as it marches!

Fear filled my brain, short-circuiting my brain, and it was only when the army of scorpions was still a dozen meters away that I came to my senses.

Not good! Get up! Fast! Come on!

I yelled a few times, causing both the master and Li Xiaorui to wake up, and they looked at me at the same time, as if to ask me what had happened.

I pointed to the sand outside the southeast of the city and said, let's get up quickly, hurry up, hurry up, don't be stunned! Thousands of scorpions are chasing after you!

I now finally understand how the corpses of those cattle and sheep on the outskirts of Devil City came from, no wonder there are a group of such scorpion armies outside Devil City!

When I used a flashlight just now, I felt that these scorpions were not small, they should be as big as a baby's fist!

Just as we hurriedly packed up and prepared to flee into the depths of the Devil's City, the army of scorpions quietly approached us!
