Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 37: Snake Bird

I don't know if my conjecture is correct, but the experience of this period of time has made me form a completely different way of thinking than before.

The distance between the five trees on which the five corpses leaned was not very far, and they were arranged in a sinuous pattern on the left, three on the right, and two on the right.

In between me and Xiaoqian examining the corpse, I asked Xiaoqian if she had seen the same corpse before. Xiao Qian's answer made me a little speechless, she said that I had never seen a corpse of this appearance, but I had seen a corpse that was more terrifying than this death.

I thought to myself, my mysterious second uncle is really a little inauthentic, it's okay to drag such a little girl to see those corpses, and it is even more terrifying than the corpses that can give me nightmares right now, what kind of death should it be. When I see my second uncle, I must take advantage of this matter to be sarcastic.

Naturally, my thoughts will not be said in front of Xiaoqian, I think, after my ideological criticism, now I don't know which ravine, the second uncle will definitely sneeze!

Xiao Qian beside me didn't know what she was thinking, and kept frowning and silent. As soon as I wanted to ask Xiaoqian, I heard a lot of uncomfortable rustling sounds coming into my ears from the dense fog around me.

Some are very close, as if they are in the tree above my head, and some are far away, approaching me and Xiaoqian's position! There was a tree behind me, and I hadn't been able to see the whole picture, and the sound was supposed to be on the trunk of the tree behind me. Shrouded in mist, I couldn't tell who made these sounds!

I held my submachine gun tightly and looked around nervously, as I subconsciously moved away from the place where the sound was coming from above my head.

And blocked Xiao Qian in front of me, and Xiao Qian didn't seem to be too nervous, and said to me calmly:

"Su Mo... I know it is.. What's it.."

Before Xiao Qian finished speaking, I could see clearly what kind of creature was the initiator of those rustling sounds.

From the top of my head where I had just left, a strange face came out, and it turned out to be the face of an owl! However, compared to the face of a normal owl, this face is more than two laps larger, and that face is still smiling at me. At the same time, there were many strange faces with such smirking faces poking out of the surrounding fog, and what made me feel even more hairy stood up was that the body supporting these owl faces was actually the body of a snake!

Soon, these monsters surrounded me and Xiao Qian in a circle, and where there were tree trunks in the air around them, this goosebump-inducing sound was also heard!

Looking at these monsters in front of me, my scalp began to tingle, and my body involuntarily shrank back, but every time I moved, these monsters approached me, and there were more of these monsters in the fog behind me approaching the position of me and Xiaoqian.

I was about to take a few steps back slowly when I felt a cold, piercing hand grab me. It was Xiao Qian's hand, and I turned my head to look at her suspiciously.

She didn't speak, she walked straight to me, blocked the way of those monsters with her petite body, and then suddenly raised the decibels of her voice, and hissed at the monsters who poked their heads out of the fog with a very sharp voice, her hiss was completely different from Ah Jin's hiss, Ah Jin's hiss was closer to the sound of a whistle, and Xiao Qian's hiss had some sounds like snakes spitting out letters mixed with some singing falsettoes.

At first, I was worried about Xiao Qian's behavior, afraid that her voice would provoke these unknown creatures in front of me, and they attacked together.

But to my surprise, after Xiao Qian's hissing sounded, in the surrounding fog, the sound of rustling that was originally approaching actually became farther and farther away. Moreover, the number of snake-body owl monsters that poked their heads out around us was actually decreasing. Obviously, it was Xiao Qian's hiss that made these monsters retreat!

With Xiao Qian's continuous hissing, the monsters surrounding us finally dispersed, and there was no uncomfortable crawling sound in the fog overhead.

I stretched out my hand and pulled Xiao Qian, signaling her to stop, although Xiao Qian's ability surprised me at this moment, but, after all, she is still flesh and blood, so constantly hissing, her throat must be unbearable.

When it was determined that the surrounding monsters had receded, Xiao Qian stopped hissing, but after consuming her throat for such a long time, she had a lack of oxygen!

As I took her cold hand, she fell into my arms with some unsteady footing, and began to cough incessantly. I could feel her thinness as she fell into my arms, coughing and trembling in my arms. This made my heart ache for a while, and I gently patted her on the back, trying to make her feel better!

My nerves continued to strain after the monsters had receded, and my instincts told me that the danger would not be solved so easily.

When I stroked Xiaoqian's back, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, I didn't expect that my safety really needed Xiaoqian to take care of it.

The confusion around us still made it difficult to see the scenery from a few meters away, and I didn't know where those monsters with the heads of birds and snakes came from or where they were retreating.

During this time, I kept a tight grip on the gusset of my only self-defense weapon, the submachine gun, and watched the situation around me vigilantly. I don't have Xiaoqian's special ability, and the only ability I have is the Duan Yu-style inheritance that can't be controlled by myself, so this submachine gun is very important to me at the moment.

Under my comfort, Xiaoqian's cough finally subsided, but her body kept shaking, I asked Xiaoqian if it was cold, Xiaoqian just shook her head, did not speak, and her neat teeth kept colliding up and down.

I didn't know how to make her body stop trembling, so I could only hold her tightly in my arms, and sure enough, after Xiaoqian felt my body temperature, her trembling eased a lot.

What surprised me was that when I was holding Xiaoqian, I could feel her body as cold as her fingers. It's even calmer than the cool air coming up from the ground. However, as I hugged her, I could clearly feel her body heating up. Even if I didn't return to normal body temperature like holding Yiyi, in such a low temperature environment, with her sudden warm body temperature, I didn't feel so cold anymore!

This change made my nervousness relax a little, and I subconsciously loosened the gusset of the submachine gun and hugged Xiaoqian's petite shoulders, wanting to fully feel Xiaoqian's body temperature. And Xiaoqian seems to enjoy this warmth too.

I don't know if it was my delusion or if it was real, but when I felt a little warmer, I noticed that the fog around me was actually starting to fade.

Xiaoqian, who was in my arms, now has her whole little head buried in my chest, enjoying the warmth that my body brings to her. Looking at her state, I am a little relieved, all I can do now is this simple warmth. Therefore, I didn't interrupt her warmth, and I had to determine for myself whether the changes around me were real.

The position of Xiaoqian and I is in the middle of several trees, and the position of the trunks on both sides should be about the same distance from us. This judgment was judged by the sound of the movement of those monsters with the heads of birds and snakes just heard.

As my gaze moved, I realized that the fading of the fog around me was not my delusion, but that it was really fading.

And the warmth I felt, as well as the changes in Xiaoqian's body temperature, were not brought to her by me. Rather, the temperature around us is rising, and the cool air that is coming up from the ground is also relieving.

I patted Xiaoqian, wanting her to see the changes around us. Xiao Qian reluctantly pulled her little head out of my arms, looked around in confusion, and her eyes also showed incomprehension.

I withdrew my hand holding the gun from behind Xiao Qian, trying to get up and take a closer look at the changes around me, and as the fog faded, the appearance of the five corpses was more clearly revealed in front of me. My gaze deliberately avoided the five corpses, their expressions becoming even more uncomfortable as the fog cleared. I don't know if the frightened expressions of the five of them before they died were generated after seeing those monsters with the heads of birds and snakes.

"Be careful!"

Just halfway through my body, I suddenly felt like my whole body was in the air.

Then I was thrown to the ground, and I was a little bit of a mess.

The position where I fell was just behind Xiao Qian, and this vacant of mine was Xiao Qian's masterpiece. This is how I really feel Xiao Qian's strength, the same situation, in Zhao Tuo's underground palace, the fat man also did it to me.

I struggled to turn my body over and turned my head to ask Xiaoqian what was going on. I don't think Xiao Qian will be as bad for me as the fat man hallucinates, even if she is hallucinated, I don't think I will definitely use a dagger to slash at her like I did with a fat man.

But when I turned my head and before I could speak, my scalp began to tingle and my eyes began to widen. I'm in the same state as the dead bodies.

I saw that in mid-air two meters in front of Xiao Qian, a head that was not rotten suddenly appeared, staring at me and Xiao Qian with round eyes like glass beads! The rot of that skull is disgusting!

The skull's body was hidden in the mist that had not yet dissipated, and judging by the height of the skull, it was at least more than two meters tall!

The moment I saw the head, goosebumps began to rise all over my body, and I remembered what the fat man said to us after posing for "Three Mountains to the Moon", that for some reason, the souls of the wrongdoers here were bound and could not get out!

At the time, when he recounted, I was a little unimpressed. Even though I have experienced the strangeness of Zhao Tuo's underground palace and dealt with the "Prairie Stone Man", I still firmly believe that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, and all the ghosts and gods that appear in front of us are controlled by some kind of creature. It's like those Gu worms in the Gu Worm Tomb.

But when this rotten head appeared, my opinion began to waver a little!
