Chapter Seventy-One: The Third Batch
Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, Lao Liu took out a talisman from his shabby canvas bag with his backhand, and slapped it according to the handprint on my shoulder, I only heard a slight sound, and a burst of black gas rose in the haze, which was quite evil!
"It's not a big deal, there are probably things around here that we can't see." Lao Liu squinted his eyes and glanced around, and said in a deep voice.
"We have to hurry up and go down to the bottom of the tree, we are too restricted to stay on this bronze tree, too passive." Zhang Yier made the most appropriate analysis based on our current situation at that time.
So, we slid down along the climbing rope, connected and connected three times to connect the climbing rope, plus the first one, calculated that we have descended about 40 meters, the following is still dark, but we can faintly see a large outline, we found that we are surrounded by a black fog, that is, this black fog, our light is greatly absorbed, which causes our perception of space to decline, forming the illusion that there is no end to this space.
When the fifth rope was about to bottom, my foot finally landed, and when the soles of my feet touched the familiar ground, my heart was a little more steady, and I looked around with a flashlight, only to find that the place where we were was a fault platform, about the size of a standard football field, the ground was black rock, as if it was the same material as the inky bronze tree, the ground was very flat as a whole, but it was full of staggered grooves, and those grooves were like circuit elements on a circuit board, tangled and intertwined. A huge pattern was formed, extending to the edge of the platform, where the fault of the platform looked like a cliff from a distance, with many black outlines underneath, and because of the dim light, it was not just what it was.
"There are some doorways in the ravines and ravines in the ground." I dragged my chin and looked up at the ground beneath my feet, as if something was in my mind, but there was something missing that I couldn't catch.
Everyone was looking around at the fault platform we were on, and it seemed that there was nothing but the strange giant tree, so we rested and repaired.
We have no concept of time in this dark ghost place, vaguely calculated, I am afraid that it will not be the next night, and they will be tired of following Lao Liu along the way, and now as soon as I sit down, my body is like being filled with lead, and the fatigue is like a wave of tide that will slowly erode me......
I don't know how long I've been asleep, I feel someone patting my face, and I suddenly wake up, only to see that there is darkness all around, and the surroundings are quiet, but in my perception, I feel that there is a person lurking in front of me, and from the faint smell of tobacco from that person, I know that he is Lao Liu.
Lao Liu always carries a bag of cigarettes, and he is the same old smoking gun as he is a little hunchbacked. His tobacco is a little special, and the taste is a little different from ordinary tobacco, as for what is different, I can't say for a while, so I think the person in front of me is Lao Liu.
"Lao Liu? What about the others? Where have they gone? Seeing that something seemed to be wrong with the situation, my drowsiness also disappeared, and I hurriedly lowered my voice and asked the dark shadow in front of me.
Who knows, just halfway through the question, the man covered his mouth, and then, Lao Liu's voice sounded in my ears:
"Don't talk, the situation has changed!"
I nodded and motioned for Lao Liu to let go, and immediately, I suddenly thought of a question, the space around us is not completely dark, otherwise I can't see the general outline of Lao Liu, so ...... What about light sources?
I looked at it from a distance, and saw a faint light under the fault platform.
"What about the others, what's going on now?" I swallowed and asked in a deep voice.
"There is a situation below, when everyone is repairing, the people of the Zhang family are on guard, and at the same time they sent two guys to investigate the situation, but the two people went and did not come back, so the Zhang sisters sent two more people down, and the two of them went down like a stone sinking into the sea, there was no news, just when the Zhang sisters were going to wake up all the people to be vigilant, there was a sudden light below, and the face of the ghost hand changed at that time, and they rushed down without saying a word, and the people of the Zhang family also went down, no, I was left to wake you up, I'm going to take you with me. ”
"Then let's hurry up and follow, and follow the big army to take care of it." I got up and put the backpack under my head, and I was about to crawl to the edge of the light as Lao Liu was half-prostrate.
The dense grooves on the ground are so dense that people's bones are about to break, and I crawl forward, and I have some inexplicable feelings in my heart, feeling that these grooves on the ground want to be something, or something very similar to something in our daily life, but what is it, but I can't get stuck in my head, so I want to cover the window paper, and I want to pierce it but there is always a trace of it, this feeling is very uncomfortable.
I thought about it and asked Lao Liu: "I said Lao Liu, do you think that the grooves on the ground are particularly similar to something we usually see?" ”
Lao Liu climbed to the edge of the fault in front of me next to me, and after I asked, I thought about it and said:
"What do you think? What did you kid come up with? ”
"Blood Tank!"
Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration, and the layer of window paper in my head had been pierced by me in the afternoon!
"It's the groove in the middle of the dagger, it's called the blood groove, and when the knife is inserted into the flesh, the blood will flow out of the groove!"
I was afraid that Lao Liu didn't understand, so I explained it again.
"You kid is not talking nonsense, I don't know what the blood tank is for?" Lao Liu blew his beard and glared at me, and after he finished speaking, the whole person was stunned for a moment, I was also the same as Lao Liu, it seemed that I suddenly thought of something, the two looked at each other suddenly, and they both understood what the other party was thinking!
If it is really as I expected, the groove on the ground is the blood groove, then there are too many blood grooves, and they are so dense that they are almost connected into a net, which is called a drainage ditch or not, a blood groove? How much blood does it take to fill these blood troughs?!
Just when the two of us were shocked by what we thought in our hearts, Lao Liu immediately came back to his senses, looked up at the top of his head, and looked solemn.
I am younger than Lao Liu, but the reaction is slower than Lao Liu, when Lao Liu's series of reactions are done between the electric light and flint, I only feel that there is a wind above my head!
I screamed in my heart that something was coming straight to me from above! And I'm too late to dodge!
Just a second before the wind was about to blow overhead, I felt an arm pull me to the side, dry but strong! That's Lao Liu!
I leaned towards Lao Liu suddenly, almost the moment I got close to Lao Liu, I felt the wind above me loud, and a black thing brushed my back and swept over me, and then, with a "bang" sound, it landed right where I was just now!
"What's that? Is man a ghost, alive or dead? I just wanted to ask, but Lao Liu interrupted me directly, and at the same time, a carp turned over from the ground and stood up, and then dragged me up, saying, "Hurry up, there is still something falling down on it!" ”
After saying that, he jumped out in one direction.
I was a little dazed for a while, but subconsciously ran with Lao Liu, and my intuition told me that Lao Liu's judgment was correct, and then the facts also told and verified that my behavior was correct.
We went around and around, and every time there was a whirring wind above our heads, we met back and forth a few times, and I also learned a little bit about the rules.
The weight of the falling thing was not light, and when it was not too close above us, it could be judged by the faint flow of air overhead, and when the wind came, it was too late.
After six "bang bang" rings around, the silence at the beginning is restored, the whole platform is like an empty square, the darkness that can't see the end at a glance, the real space is ghostly, but the six things that fall from the endless darkness above, divided into eye-catching.
It was six people, who fell from the bronze giant tree above for some reason, and blood burst out, like six bewitching blood flowers blooming.
"Who are they?" I slowly stepped forward to check, and when I saw that all of them were unfamiliar faces, I asked in surprise.
Lao Liu carefully looked at the six people on the ground, frowned, and regardless of the disgust, he bent down to untie the clothes of one of them.
With a snort, the man's clothes were pulled apart by thick blood, and a very strong smell of blood permeated the air, making people almost nauseated, only to see that the flesh and blood of the man's clothes were blurred, and the skin was peeled off raw, leaving only scarlet muscle tissue, which was densely covered with scars, as if he had been slapped with a dagger!
Lao Liu's brows furrowed even tighter, he gritted his teeth, pulled off the corpse's shirt completely, and scanned his eyes on his body, as if he was looking for something, but the result can be imagined, the corpse has even been stripped of its skin, what can be found in him.
Out of curiosity, I still asked Lao Liu what he was looking for, Lao Liu didn't answer me, he buried his head in search for a while, turned around and examined the other five corpses one by one, and finally we found that these six corpses died in the same way, with wounds all over the body, and the skin tissue was completely peeled off.
Lao Liu wiped the blood on his trouser legs, took a deep look at the six corpses around him, and said, "Xiao Wu, we must hurry down and join the ghost hands, it's not safe here." ”
After saying that, he paused, his ears seemed to move in the darkness, and the next moment, he suddenly looked up, and he didn't know whether it was the bronze branches or the darkness beyond.
Just when I wanted to take action and walk to a place where there was light under the fault, Lao Liu muttered:
"Is there a third group of people coming......
