Chapter 11: The Sunken Corpse
The white leg bones of the forest were trampled by me so that they stretched out of the mud obliquely, revealing its evil spirit in the almost desperate moonlight;
"Eh, it", almost the moment my eyes touched this bone, the whole person was so frightened that he leaned back, his feet slipped, and a fart sat on the muddy ground;
How did human bones come out of here? It can be said to be a human bone, but this bone is too long, and I even feel that the length of the thigh bone is only a little shorter than my whole thigh;
"Spirits?" , a huge body image unfolded in my mind, and if you compare their height, then this leg bone is not surprising at all;
In a panic, I was groping in the mud, still hoping that there would be a guy in my hand to defend myself, and the more I was at this time, the more I would be very happy to snatch my dagger from the tiger girl, and she looked back at me as if to say, "She took it first, and I won't use it anyway";
But this time, the mud that my hand touched was not the smoothness I had encountered before, but a little astringent, a little entangled, and it felt like the kind of long hemp rope made by the Sichuan girl on the gentle slope, but it was much thinner than the hemp rope, and it was very sticky one by one;
I unconsciously looked into my hands......
If that leg bone just made me sit here, then what I had in my hand made me stand back screaming!
In my hand, I saw a clump of black silk wrapped in mud wrapped around my hand, and the hair was dense, and it was like a spirit flag fluttering back and forth in the moonlit air!
That's not enough, just where I just sits, a human skull is stuck in the mud, look at that position, it should be exactly where I sat just now, if I'm not mistaken, I must have just sat on the face of this skull!
It wasn't a "skull" to be exact, because it still had a lot of flesh on it, but I didn't smell a single rancid stench, and it was the mud that made the corpse lose its ability to smell...... I just don't understand how this mud has allowed this corpse to retain its flesh and skin after such a long time!
I shook violently the hand that had just grabbed my hair, and it was covered with a lot of skull, which was sticky and disgusting, or it was also mud, but it was slightly whitish;
After years of experience and a bloody battle with the Demons, I honestly say that I am not so afraid of corpses or rotting corpses, but for me today, who was already a frightened bird of death, the corpse trapped in the mud in front of me really terrified me!
The long leg bone in the mud was very heavy, and in my opinion it was not suitable for a weapon at all, but I did not want to "borrow" other bones from the carrion, so I had to pull it out hard;
Just then, I tore another mass out of the mud;
I thought it might be the hair of the carrion, but when I looked closely, there were traces of beast skins in a few places on that mass of stuff that were less stained with mud!
Then, along with my leg bone, I pulled out a spear next to the corpse! It's the form of the Evil Spirit, but unfortunately it has been corroded for too long and can no longer be used.
Just as I had calmed down and shook my head at the spear, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some sporadic gray things not far from the place where the spear had just been drawn;
I looked forward by the moonlight, but I was horrified to find that the mud flat I was in was full of dead people, each one and every one of them was deep in the mud, and the limbs and bones were intertwined!
The scene instantly reminded me of some kind of mass grave of sunken corpses after a massacre, each corpse was exactly the same as the one I had just found, with a slight flesh and flesh and a hideous death, and their weapons were similarly in front of them, apparently either dead unconscious with spears and bows and arrows in their hands, or...... Something close to them had taken their toll, only they had to pull on themselves!
This...... This is the other of the two squads that the Shorks and ours set out west at the beginning of the war and then disappeared? That's right, one of those two teams was probably solved by our traps and dumb men that night, and the other one, I've always guessed, was the one who the black-robed old witch was ambushing on the hill!
I was trembling, and it seemed that I had misjudged that the team was not going west, because it was probably one of the teams that did go west had died here!
Looking at the death of these people, most of the skeleton jaws opened violently, obviously at the moment of death they were roaring or exclaiming, which can almost overturn my other judgment just now, they are by no means unknowingly dead, but must have been attacked by the enemy in an instant, so that they have such expressions, and even weapons are beckoning in the direction of their bodies!
These horrible corpses made me suddenly think that the voice that called me by my nickname just now was not someone calling me, but the unjust souls buried here asking for my life. Yes, their deaths seem to have something to do with me, but I didn't do anything hurtful to them!
The moonlight was obscured by a dark cloud, and the thick ink-like sky, the stars that could only be dotted with it, the night was too deep, and the more so late the night, the more silent it was numbing!
The weakness of my legs was not so much scary as it was due to the fatigue of the muscles caused by the long journey and the sharp slope that had just been climbed, and of course, it was just an excuse for me not to admit that I was afraid of what I was looking for!
I still returned to the waterhole, at least I understand the truth that out of sight is pure, but the leg bone in my hand is still being carried by me, and I dare not let go, not to mention the regret in my heart!
"What am I doing here! Although it can't be said to be a waste like "I can't pick my shoulders and can't lift my hands", what can I do to help the tiger girl and the bald man in this jungle? But I just followed in like a child with big eyes, which led to the current dilemma"!
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt in my heart, "No! I exclaimed in my heart, if this is a place dedicated to sinking corpses, then wouldn't it be very unsafe for me to be here?
As I thought, my legs were already involuntarily walking towards the mound at one end, the muddy soil did not improve because of my movement, and I had to watch out for a cannibal swamp to evaporate my world as I walked!
But just as I was stepping on the foot of the mound, suddenly! There was a pop in the waterhole behind me, and when I looked back, the ripples in the waterhole were still trembling!
I was busy raising the long bone in my hand, and I didn't dare to stop under my feet, ready to deal with possible mutations, at this moment, there was another "poof" sound in the waterhole, and this time I could see clearly that it was a stone thrown by someone on the other side of the waterhole!
I cautiously moved to the shore of the water on the side where the stone was thrown, and suddenly my stomach writhed a few times, and I almost fainted with the nausea of constriction!
More than a meter away as far as my eyes could see, there were thousands of large white-fleshed insects that I could not name, wrapped in something entwined with something;
The fleshy worm had no head, but its head was more like a drop of blood in its own neck, and at the entrance of that neck, there were several half-finger-like teeth, each of which was more than twenty centimeters long!
The goosebumps all over my body, along with the vomit that had overflowed my mouth, forced me to gather back, but at this moment, I saw a leg sticking out of the middle of the mass of meat worms! Subsequently...... It turned out to be a bald head!
My heart fluttered....... Your uncle's is actually bald!
