Chapter 41: The Dry Corpse Groove (Part II)

Faced with Jin Gusi's questioning, Tang Qianlin didn't know how to answer.

Indeed, he had no substantial evidence to prove that his speculation was correct, nor could he completely overturn Gingus's conclusions. It's just that after going through a series of previous mechanism events, he decided that the mechanism designer would not let people open the door to the mysterious world so easily.

Jinguth looked at Qian Sinian, who couldn't make a decision, and then looked at Takahashi Jiro.

To be on the safe side, Jiro Takahashi asked, "Mr. Tang, do you have any other way?" ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I didn't think of it for the time being." ”

Takahashi Jiro pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's do what Mr. Jin said." ”

Qian Sinian immediately ordered: "I heard it, let's do it." ”

Only Qingquan and Zhang Dagen were present who had to obey the order, and the two had to put the dried corpse into the groove according to Jinguss's words, but they didn't expect that after putting it in, it would just be closed.

Jinguth looked even more proud: "I can guarantee that as long as you get the other one, the one that should be opened will be opened immediately." ”

Qingquan and Zhang Dagen had to find another dried corpse and carry it to the side of the groove.

Jinguth stood beside the groove and said, "Put it in." ”

Qingquan and Zhang Dagen carried the head and feet of the dried corpse respectively and put it into the groove.

As soon as the corpse was placed in the groove, there was a strange "click" sound in the ground, and then three spears rose from under the groove, directly penetrating the head, chest, and abdomen of the dried corpse.

Seeing this scene, everyone involuntarily took a step back.

Immediately after, some strange liquid oozed from the tip of the spear, and after the liquid flowed on the corpse, it began to corrode the hard surface of the corpse.

Tang Qianlin raised his hand and said, "Everyone get out of the way, stay away, hurry up!" ”

Jinguth deliberately contradicted: "Don't be too far away, there shouldn't be any danger." ”

Tang Qianlin glared at Jin Gusi, who still had that confident smile on his face.

Tang Qianlin said to Ni Xiaowan, Li Yunfan, Yi Mochen and Qiao Tong who were standing beside him: "Stand farther away." ”

Several people slowly retreated, Qingquan knew that Tang Qianlin's worries were never superfluous because he had been born and died with Tang Qianlin, so he also quietly retreated to the rear.

When Zhang Dagen was about to retreat, he was glared at by Qian Sinian, so he had to stand there anxiously, staring at the corpse that was being corroded.

At the same time, in another cave, the dried corpse was also being corroded by the liquid, billowing white smoke.

Everyone stared at the white smoke that came out, and when they saw the white smoke rise into the air, it dispersed, forming small clouds of white smoke floating around.

"Ghost lanterns?" Seeing this, Ni Xiaowan said, "Look, does it look like a ghost lantern?" ”

As soon as Ni Xiaowan finished speaking, countless ghost lanterns came out of the gap at the top of the iron tile pavilion above their heads, and those ghost lanterns swayed towards the clumps of white qi below.

When the ghost lantern mixed with the white gas, it began to merge, spinning rapidly in mid-air, and then fell into the mud below and disappeared.

The whole process lasted about ten minutes, and then the cave returned to its previous calm.

The crowd looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, and Gingruth looked around, for the entrance he had envisioned had not been opened.

At this time, wisps of green smoke slowly came out of the mud and spread on the ground, forming the shape of a snake and burrowing towards the feet of everyone.

Tang Qianlin hurriedly said: "Get out of the way!" Don't touch this kind of thing! ”

While several people were dodging separately, a few wisps of green smoke had already reached Zhang Dagen's feet, slowly circling along his ankles like snakes to his upper body, and after surrounding his upper body for a while, it crawled to his face.

Zhang Dagen's whole person was already stupid, frozen in place, looking at the green smoke that was wandering around his face.

The rest of the people dodged in all directions, and at the same time paid attention to Zhang Dagen.

Zhang Dagen opened his mouth and said, "Hey, what is this?" ”

The moment he opened his mouth to speak, the green smoke that had been surrounding his face suddenly burrowed into his mouth.

The moment Qingyan got in, Zhang Dagen's body shook, as if he had been cast a spell and froze in place.

At the same time, the other green smokes seemed to have received some signal, and they wandered towards Zhang Dagen, crawled to his face, and burrowed into his mouth together.

The others froze in place, staring at Zhang Dagen who was standing there.

Zhang Dagen's face trembled slightly, his eyes began to roll white, and suddenly, his originally raised hands hung down with his head, and there was no more reaction, but the person was still standing there, not falling.

Jiro Takahashi asked, "What's the matter with him?" What is that smoke? ”

No one could answer him, and Gingus stood dumbfounded.

After a long time, Zhang Dagen was still standing there motionless, and Jiro Takahashi grabbed Qian Sinian next to him: "You, go over and take a look." ”

Qian Sinian stepped forward and pulled out his gun, but he said to Qingquan: "You, go and take a look." ”

Facing the muzzle of the gun, Qingquan had no choice but to step forward, and after approaching Zhang Dagen slightly, he asked, "Hey, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Dagen didn't react, Qingquan leaned over slightly to look at his face: "What about you?" What happened to you? ”

When he just leaned over, Qingquan noticed that something was flowing down Zhang Dagen's face, like saliva.

When Qingquan squatted down to look at Zhang Dagen's face, he found that Zhang Dagen's eyes were bulging together, and half of them were already hanging outside, and his teeth were also turned out from the inside of his lips, and they fell on the mud one by one along the way I don't know if it was saliva or something else.

Qingquan screamed, sat on the mud, and crawled backwards.

At this time, Zhang Dagen's head suddenly rose to the air, and his whole body began to tremble violently.

Everyone saw that Zhang Dagen's eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears all came out of the white smoke that had been drilled in before, and the white smoke surrounded his body, hovering above his head, and did not disperse for a long time.

When he saw this, Tang Qianlin suddenly thought of something, he quickly took out the book of "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts Map" and quickly rummaged through it, and after looking for a long time, he finally saw one of the pages and said, "Found it, ghost lantern." ”

Ni Xiaowan stepped forward and looked at the page of the album.

"There are two kinds of ghost lanterns, male and female, which are originally harmless, and if they are male and female, they will burrow into the human body and corrode the inside of their bodies." When Tang Qianlin saw this, he raised his eyes to look at Zhang Dagen not far away.

At this time, Zhang Dagen's neck was weak, and his whole head hung down directly, and then fell into the mud.

Tang Qianlin glanced down at the album again: "The ghost lantern is a kind of bug!" Not a ghost! ”

After speaking, Tang Qianlin remembered something again, and ran towards another cave with his legs: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Follow me! Fast! ”

As soon as Tang Qianlin ran, the rest of the people immediately followed behind him and ran over with their feet on the mud.

Jin Gusi, who was left at the end, looked back while running, and saw that Zhang Dagen's body slowly softened, and finally turned into a layer of human skin, which fell directly on the mud, while the white smoke from before remained in place, still maintaining the appearance of Zhang Dagen's body, just like the soul of the dead Zhang Dagen.

Qiao Tong, who was running behind Tang Qianlin, suddenly thought of something, turned around and took out the camera from his backpack, ran back, and pressed the shutter at Zhang Dagen's position, regardless of whether he had taken a clear picture or not, he turned around and continued to run.

When Tang Qianlin ran to the bottom of the iron tile pavilion in another cave, he stopped and turned to look at the connected river, where the rest of the people were also standing beside him and watching.

Soon, something creepy happened - the male and female ghost lanterns maintained the appearance of Zhang Dagen and floated from there.

"It turns out that this is what I saw before...... Yi Mochen said, "I thought it was a ghost." ”

Li Yunfan also nodded: "Yes, it turned out to be an insect." ”

Qiao Tong pulled out the fire gun and aimed it at the ghost lantern: "That thing is coming!" ”

Qian Sinian, Takahashi Jiro, Qingquan, and Jingush all pulled out their guns and aimed them at the ghost lantern, and after Qiao Tong fired, everyone immediately pulled the trigger and fired continuously at the ghost lantern.

"Ceasefire!" Takahashi Jiro shouted, and everyone immediately ceased fire, seeing that the ghost lantern that had been there had disappeared.

Qian Sinian smiled: "It's dead, it's gone, it's great." ”

As soon as the words ended, everyone saw that the ghost lanterns had dispersed, like snakes crawling towards them, as before.

Chance Nian hurriedly changed the bullets and continued to shoot at the white smoke on the ground, and after emptying another magazine, the white smoke still showed no sign of stopping.

"What should I do?" Qian Sinian turned his head to look at Jiro Takahashi, who was already stupid, and grabbed Jinguth again, "You are an expert, what should I do?" Tell me what to do? ”

Jingusi raised his eyes to look at Tang Qianlin at this time, but Tang Qianlin just raised his hand and pointed to the dried corpse in the groove not far away.

Jinguth didn't understand what that meant, so he had to ask, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting." Tang Qianlin stared at the ghost lantern that was gradually wriggling on the ground, "Just stand still, if my guess is correct, we will be very safe here." ”

Jinguth looked at the ghost lantern that was almost on his heels: "Why do you say that? ”

Tang Qianlin still pointed to the dry corpse groove: "Just by that, it stands to reason that there should be a ghost lantern coming out of here, right?" Why not? You think about it. ”

At this time, Jinguss's mind was blank, and he couldn't think of anything except the idea of survival.

Seeing those ghost lanterns getting closer and closer, everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and at this critical moment, the male and female ghost lanterns, which were obviously approaching, and could devour everyone at their sight, slowly floated upward.

After all the male and female ghost lanterns flew up, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, Qian Sinian leaned against the pavilion pillar and panted, and the hand holding the gun was still trembling.

Jin Gusi looked at Tang Qianlin: "Why do you know, we will be fine." ”

Tang Qianlin pointed upwards with his finger: "You use your own brain to think about it." ”
