Chapter 179
Looking at the back of Sakurai Zixiang gradually moving away, I sighed, and finally quickened my pace, followed, and shouted as I walked: "Ah Zi, you wait for me!" Why are you walking so fast? ”
"I want you to take care of ......", once this little girl in Penglai turns her face, it is really better than Little Pepper.
I smiled bitterly, helpless, but although Sakurai Zixiang said so, when she saw me coming over, she had already unconsciously slowed down.
For the strange city in front of her, to be honest, her heart is also a little drumming.
The seven lanterns on the top of the castle tower bloomed with a faint green light, and when they got closer, they could even faintly see that there seemed to be several black shadows shining in the lights on the castle tower, which felt as if they were watching a shadow puppet show.
After taking two steps forward, Sakurai Shika looked at the black shadows shining in the lights on the castle tower, and she didn't come back to her senses until I caught up and took her hand again.
"Taixuan, do you see that the shadows on the tower of the city seem to be moving, as if there are people on it?" Sakurai turned around and whispered to me, unconsciously tightening my hand.
My hand was pinched by her little hand, my heart couldn't help but be hot, the original heart of this little girl's complaint has long disappeared, I glanced at the situation on the castle tower, and whispered in Sakurai Zixiang's ear: "Why doesn't it look like a human figure, but like a demon and a monster, you see that the black shadow seems to have eight legs, as if it was a big spider ......"
"Big spider!"
Sakurai Zika couldn't help but be stunned when she heard me say this, turned her head and looked at the black shadow on the castle tower, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "When you say this, you really look a bit like a big spider." But how can there be such a big spider, that black shadow looks at least the size of a water tank, I have never heard of such a big spider in this world. As far as I know, the largest spider in the world is a spider in South America that can devour birds, and if the tower of the city is really a big spider, with such a big size, it is not a problem to devour people. ”
I thought for a moment: "Don't say it, it's really a guy who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, if you look closely, there seems to be something hanging on the city wall." ”
As I spoke, I stretched out my hand and pointed to the city wall more than 20 meters high below the city tower, although it was too far away to see really, but my vision was amazing, and I could still vaguely see what seemed to be hanging on the city wall.
When Sakurai heard me say this, she turned on her flashlight and cautiously shone it on the opposite wall.
When the light of the flashlight shone on the city wall, she and I were stunned, and we couldn't close our mouths wide open for a long time.
There was a corpse hanging on the wall, no! It would be more appropriate to call it a mummy
。 Because the surface of these corpses seems to be wrapped around and around white silk threads, densely hung on the city wall, as if drying bacon, the entire city wall is full of these corpses, when I get closer, I think it is a human wall built with people.
The corpses were at least a thousand in total, and they died so brutally that they were like they had been entangled in the silk of a large spider and hung on the city walls as a reserve ration.
When I saw the corpses hanging from the city walls, my heart was not calm for a long time, and I seemed to see the scene of a hideous spider devouring people.
I came back to my senses and whispered to Sakurai Zika beside me, "Ah Zi! It seems that my guess is correct, the dark shadow on the tower is indeed strange, and the corpses on the city wall are probably its masterpiece. This place should not stay for a long time, let's leave! I don't want to be that guy's ration. ”
"Withdraw? Where to retreat? ”
Sakurai Zixiang turned her face sideways, glanced at me and said: "This Nine Secluded City is the base camp of the Nine Immortals of the Nine Divisions of the Western Queen Mother, and it is the place where the West Queen Mother family has lived for generations, when the West Queen Mother family lived in the Nine Secluded City, then there must be an exit to the outside world in the city, in my opinion, entering the city is much more likely to find a way out than walking along the underground dark river, if it really doesn't work, let's come back and walk along the underground dark river." ”
When I heard this, I was anxious, and hurriedly said, "My little aunt and grandmother! You're going to heaven! Now don't talk about entering the city, look at the corpses hanging on the walls, I don't want to be one of them. Ah Zi, you're pulling the two of us into the fire pit, you know? ”
"This girl has always acted without taboos, what are you afraid of? Taixuan, you are in vain as the disciple of the corpse chasing faction, what is the first purpose of the corpse chasing faction, have you forgotten? Sakurai Shika looked at me with a resentful expression, as if she was complaining that I was too timid.
"The Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, the god blocks and kills the God, and the ghost should kill the ghost! Driving away corpses, there are no taboos" I couldn't help blurting out.
"That's right. Let's go meet that guy for a while. As she spoke, Sakurai Zika didn't wait for me to refute, she took my hand and dragged it in the direction of the city gate.
Although this little girl said that she was going to meet the unknown existence on the city tower for a while, but in fact, we didn't plan to alarm it.
Since we saw the corpses hanging on the city wall, we were more vigilant, and we were careful not to make footsteps all the way, and it took more than ten minutes to walk away from the city gate.
When we got closer to the castle wall, Sakurai took my hand and cautiously approached the castle gate with my back against the castle wall.
At this time, the two of us sacrificed the corpse bell and the soul drum at the same time to prevent accidents.
We walked slowly on tiptoe, not even daring to take a breath, and at the same time hunched over our bodies for fear of touching the corpses hanging above our heads.
The closer we got to the city gate, the faster our hearts beat, and the green light that bloomed from the lantern on the castle tower shone on our faces, and I saw Sakurai Shika's face turn dark green when I walked in front of me.
At this moment, time seemed to flow very slowly, and I even felt Sakurai's little hands sweating slightly.
One-step......
Two-step ......
We were getting closer and closer to the city gate, and we were so nervous that we only wanted to sneak in, praying not to be discovered by the dark shadow on the tower.
"Bang...... Bang...... Bang......"
Our hearts beat faster and faster, and finally we reached the tall and majestic gates of this city.
