274. Traces of the Pursuit
After listening to my words, Yang Qin said, "Brother Feng, don't you believe us? Although we are low-minded, we swear that we will never hold you back! ”
"Yes, don't hold back!" Li Mao said emphatically.
I smiled and glanced at them, then I exhaled and said, "Cheng, I am also thinking about your safety, but if there is any danger in the future, I will not take special care of any of you, and my life will always be in my own hands, no matter what happens." ”
"Let's let Brother Feng see our confidence!" Yang Qin cheered towards the person behind him.
I said in my heart that this Yang Qin is also a manufacturable material, at least he is very capable of leadership, and the other soul explorers seem to have a lot of trust in Yang Qin, since such a talent Dao Alliance only let him be a spirit explorer, it is really a tyrannical thing, but I am silent, even if I am very optimistic about Yang Qin, I just hide this idea in my heart and don't say it.
I set out on the road again, ready to follow me more deeply, and the others followed me vigilantly, and as we went, we saw several similar corpses, the subcutaneous tissue was devoured, and only a human skin and the bones inside, but at this time, I saw a hanging coffin on the wall.
The hanging coffin here is very different from the hanging coffin in Shanxi Hulu Mountain, Shanxi Province, where the hanging coffin is nailed in the rock mass by two wooden stakes, and then the hanging coffin is placed on the almost vertical cliff rock wall, when people notice the existence of the hanging coffin, the hanging coffin there is almost broken, and the corpse inside has long been weathered into sediment.
But the hanging coffin here is very interesting, a huge wooden pillar is nailed to the wall, and then the pillar is placed horizontally, the exposed wood, there are iron chains on it, and the hanging coffin is used in a similar way to string beads, strung on this iron chain, an iron chain, up and down a hundred meters, and a hanging coffin is fixed with four iron chains, so that the four iron chains up and down the loading and unloading of thousands of coffins, I also feel amazing, this iron chain can bear such a weight, but I took a closer look to know, This iron chain is not an ordinary material, it is a highly refined steel similar to mille-feuille steel, so the bearing capacity is so strong, if it is replaced by ordinary pig iron, it is estimated that it has already broken at this time.
In addition to the magic of the chain, I also saw that the style of the hanging coffins seemed to be unified, as if they were from the hands of the same person, but these hanging coffins were relatively old, and they were all old coffins, so it was inferred that since the town of the dead became the town of the living dead, there had been no dead people for a long, long time, or no one could die at all, so it was expected that the coffins here would become such a scene.
We didn't stay in the hanging coffin for a long time, and there was nothing to see when comparing a group of dead people, and the hanging coffin was hanging on the wall, all of them were some distance from the ground, there was no earth to pick up the corpse, and the corpse could not be transformed, and the demonic energy I felt at the entrance of the cave did not come from this so-called hanging coffin, but from the deeper part of the Star Casting Cave.
I looked at the traces around me, it seemed that Tang Shun and the others didn't stay here much, and they also omitted this distance and walked directly to the depths.
However, I still saw ticking blood on the ground, it seems that someone in the crowd is injured, it seems that he is still seriously injured, such a straight line of bleeding, it should be from a person's body, if you look at the flow, now you can't get good treatment, I'm afraid you have lost too much blood and died.
The fat man in the team was a tracking expert, and he saw the blood stains for the first time, and he said: "There is a toxin in this blood, it should be poisoned." ”
"Poisoned?" I looked at the fat man the other way.
The fat man said solemnly: "I guess the toxin on the huge ant we met just now should be a nerve poison, similar to the venom of poisonous snakes, and the drying up of blood, according to the humidity here, should be within a few days, and at that time, Tang Shun left us four days ago, counting one day's footsteps, it was about three days." ”
I secretly thought to myself, this fat man is an expert in tracking, such knowledge, if he is introduced to Zhu Ming, it is estimated that with that porcupine, I am afraid that any case will become extremely simple.
But at this time, a soul explorer inadvertently knocked over a coffin, and suddenly the coffin broke, and the contents fell out, this coffin was obviously very old, but I didn't expect that the things inside were not rotten, but a skeleton fell out neatly.
I saw that the skeleton was blackened, and it had obviously begun to carbonize, maybe because the air was dry, and the skeleton decayed very slowly, but I saw some tooth marks on the skeleton, and this tooth mark definitely did not look like a human bite, in other words, who would be idle and panic and bite a skeleton?
At this time, the fat man looked at the traces on the skeleton and said: "I am afraid that this dead man will be eaten by those ants not long after he dies, otherwise the corpse will decompose very quickly if there is flesh and blood, and if the flesh and blood are removed and only one skeleton remains, the bones will not decay immediately, at least five or six hundred years." ”
Listening to the fat man's words, I couldn't help but have a terrifying thought in my heart, and immediately next to me, another coffin was also overturned, and sure enough, there was still a skeleton inside, and there were still many tooth marks on the skeleton, I frowned and said: "Could it be that the corpses transported here were all eaten by ants?" ”
"Possibly." Guan Shanhe rarely expressed his opinion, he said, "I see that there are such big ants in the place, maybe after the townspeople store the corpses, the townspeople think that this cave can protect them, in fact, the corpses transported in were eaten by those ants, but the townspeople don't know, after all, no one can open the coffin to check the corpse, no matter where it is, it is unlucky to open the coffin." ”
I felt that Guan Shanhe's analysis made sense, and hurriedly asked Gu Hanyan: "You must know something." ”
Gu Hanyan is now a woman's appearance, and her illusionary appearance is still relatively good-looking, she lightly opened her lips, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, but finally opened her mouth to speak: "The powerful monsters that exist in the Star Casting Cave, I'm afraid it is related to these ants, the dream that the villagers dreamed of that day is probably the monster's dream, not something that Zhu Shaoze and Cheng Inlaid Yu can do, although the two died tragically, but both of them finally affirmed each other's love, after all, it is not the worst death, it is very likely that the original owner of the Star Casting Cave, borrowed this matter to intimidate the villagers, but in the end it forced the villagers, and I didn't expect that the slave and maid would come over and make the villagers become the living dead, maybe it hated the slave and the maid very much, and once again the slave and maid strayed into the mountain, and almost died in this star-casting cave. ”
When Gu Hanyan said this, I suddenly realized, and I said: "The corpse of the soul explorer at the door, I'm afraid there is also a story, it is when those ants haven't eaten human flesh for a long time, they will attack like crazy when they see human flesh!" ”
"Yes, it's very likely, I'm afraid that more unknown secrets lie ahead of us." Yang Qin echoed.
We made up our minds and moved on, and now I was even more interested in the origin of this starcast cave and the secrets behind it.
We saw a lot of actual ones during this period, including the first few when we entered the cave, and it is estimated that there should be no less than twenty bodies.
The fat man looked at the bloodstains on the ground and said, "Tang Shun, I'm afraid that they were chased and killed, and they were chased and killed by these ants!" ”
At first glance, if you don't know this situation, the average person will think that the fat man's words are very ridiculous, ants will chase and kill people, usually boiling water, a one-year-old child, can easily destroy a whole ant nest, and ants chase people, I'm afraid it can't exist no matter where it is, but at this time, after listening to this sentence, we only feel a chill down our backs, and there is a dizzy urge No one knows how many ants there are, and no one knows how many ants they eat. Maybe we were already watched by ants from the moment we entered the hole......
