61.Nine Dragons Corpse Tower (3)
With the addition of Li Shana, our team has changed from five to six, and after entering the forest, Su Heng took the lead, he seems to be very familiar with this place, in other words, Su Heng has already figured out the entrance of the Nine Dragons Corpse Tower.
We walked on the bank of the river, and the surrounding scenery was also very dazzling, because of the relationship between spring, the singing of birds and flowers lingered around us, especially some wild animals often passed by in front of our eyes, they seemed not afraid of people.
Liang Jie said: "In the past, this area was a hunting area, and when people ran out of wild animals, then weeds became infested, and after autumn, there were often fires. ”
"You mean that fire, I've heard of it, burned a lot of people." She told me about the fire, and it was so realistic that it was like a fire was happening right in front of my eyes.
The calm night sky was full of stars, and suddenly at this time, a bright light appeared in the night, and then a stab appeared into a quiet forest, and soon the surrounding forest began to burn indulgently, and the fire was monstrous, like a pillar of fire, which was rushing towards the sky.
In the burning forest, the birds are constantly startled, and the surrounding animals are also frantically fleeing, but the fire is fierce, and a large part of the animals that have not had time to escape are permanently left in the fire and become a lifeless ash.
The huge fire grew bigger and bigger, spreading from the top of the mountain, like thousands of troops, flying on the battlefield, and soon approached a small village at the bottom of the mountain.
The sound of gongs and drums, the shouts, the exclamations of women, and the cries of children are more than together, accompanied by the collision of pots and pans, and the whole picture of the end of the world.
The men kept carrying the barrels back and forth towards the stream, trying to borrow the water from the stream to extinguish this sudden catastrophe, and the village chief drove the only tractor in the village, constantly carrying the buckets, running back and forth towards the fire, but this cup of water did not mean anything to this monstrous fire.
The fire burned all night, and by the early morning of the second day, the surrounding area was scorched, and the whole mountain was burned flat, and the original lush forest had turned black at this time, mixed with a large number of rabbits, wild boars and other animals buried in the fire, as well as charred black corpses, a village of 300 people, one hundred and twenty-three people died, and the others were either seriously injured or lightly injured, and thirty-one more died on the way to the hospital.
At that time, the case alarmed the capital, so the villagers were evacuated and the land here was divided into a nature reserve.
At this time, Liang Jie smiled: "I was the one who escaped the fire by luck, I didn't know the severity of the fire at that time, until I became sensible, I asked my grandfather where my parents went, and he said that they were in heaven, and I knew that the fire also took away my family." ”
I patted Liang Jie on the shoulder and didn't say anything, just purely comforting him.
Sure enough, along the road, we saw a ruin, Liang Jie's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
I saw that the ground of the village ruins was full of vines, and a large number of vines had covered the charred ground, among which I could vaguely see some black land, and there was also a gust of wind around it, and it seemed that the villagers' spirits had not been completely overpowered.
Not far from the village, there are many abandoned fields, which are overgrown with weeds, and they are completely unrecognizable, and it is said that the Nine Dragons Corpse Tower is passing through the village all the way to the west, but I didn't expect that after passing through the village, we actually encountered a swamp, fortunately everyone prepared boots, and wooden sticks, although it was a little more laborious to walk, but the speed was not slow.
I walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and suddenly there was an exclamation in front of me, I hurriedly walked over with Liang Jie, Li Shana and others, and found that the spirit explorer was half stuck in the mud, and he seemed very panicked.
Su Heng hurriedly said, "Don't move, we'll save you!" ”
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die here, pull me quickly!" The spirit explorer was already panicking, and Su Heng immediately took out a talisman and froze the surrounding swamp water, the spirit explorer was lying on the ice in a panic, and he was about to come out, but his body was suddenly dragged into the mud, instantly submerging the top of his head!
It was evident that something was dragging him down in the swamp, and I was dumbfounded, and the soul-finder was silent before he could scream.
We were dumbfounded, and we couldn't imagine that a person who was still alive and kicking before was silent all of a sudden, and Su Heng and the others immediately organized people to salvage, and it was so hard to waste, and finally someone with a wooden stick said: "I came into contact with him!" ”
When everyone heard the joy, they hurriedly dragged him out with cheers, but found that when they were salvaged, only a white bone was left, everyone was stunned, and Su Heng lifted the clothes of the white bones, but found that in the chest of the dead man, there were dense locusts, this dense layer made people can't help but get goosebumps, Su Heng's face was ugly, he said: "This, this is the empress leech, specializing in sucking human flesh and blood, I didn't think that there would be this thing in this place, I once encountered it in Vietnam, this thing is very terrifying, Even if a person does not die, it will lay eggs in the body of a living person, and when the eggs hatch, a large number of leeches will suck the person dry from the inside of the body. ”
"What about Lao Zhang? Aren't we going to take his body back with us? A soulhunter asked anxiously.
Su Heng's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and said: "I have long felt that this operation will be dangerous, but I didn't expect to encounter danger so soon, let's put the corpse here, make a mark, and take it away together when we go back, now we are dragging a corpse forward, I am afraid that the trip will be delayed, and the worst case will attract other locusts to come." ”
He opened the deceased's backpack, took out the materials that could be used in the bar, and distributed them to everyone, and everyone bowed slightly to the corpse before setting out on the road again.
In order to avoid such a situation from happening again, Su Heng changed the team, but turned the team into a long snake formation, he used it as a snake head to open the way in front, and under the swamp, no one knew where the puddle was, but Su Heng was more experienced, he took us to avoid some dangerous terrain, and finally after an hour and a half, climbed to the foot of another mountain, at this time I looked back from a distance and could see the existence of the broken temple, but it was already very blurry, the mountain was foggy, so it was not much cleaned, on the other hand, on the mountain behind me, Towering into the sky, it must be roughly estimated to be 18 meters high, and the mountain seems to be uninhabited, and the vegetation is exceptionally lush.
"Are we going over the mountain?" I asked.
Liang Jie frowned and said: "I can only go over the mountain, maybe there is the Nine Dragons Corpse Tower on the mountain, I heard the elders of my family say that the north of our village is a swamp, now I have seen it, no wonder the villagers will never come here, it turns out that there is such a huge danger hidden here." ”
"Let's hurry!" Su Heng said in front, "We have to take advantage of the dark before we find the entrance, otherwise we have to spend the night on the mountain, the terrain here is very steep, and it is also covered with all kinds of poisons around, the last time I came to explore the way, I didn't encounter the empress leech, there may be a lot of things in front that we haven't seen, and it is particularly dangerous here at night." ”
As a leader, Su Heng is decisive and very qualified for this position, he also gave us encouragement, let us go up with all our strength, although the first half of the road is quite easy, but this mountain road is climbed online after all, and when we encounter some places where there is no road, we can only climb the rock, and the physical strength consumed is very huge.
However, halfway up the mountain, Su Heng took us to a cave, this cave is very large, the top of the cave is more than 20 meters from the ground, and it is very spacious, like a basketball court, Su Heng said to us: "Everyone rest here for a while, and there are ...... Feng Haoran, come with me! ”
I looked at Su Heng in surprise, but I thought that he told me that there should be something, so I ran over, but I walked ten meters down the cave and suddenly saw a huge wall blocking our way, this wall seems to be natural, there are many traces of artificial carving in the world, Su Heng opened a piece of moss, revealing a groove inside, and he said: "This is the entrance to the Nine Dragons Corpse Tower." ”
