Volume 1, Ghost Town of the Bone Forest _ Chapter 87, Bone Pedes

The ground was full of bones, and where it came to the eye, bones piled up into the mountains, paving a terrifying path. I stood at the top of the stairs, my legs trembling, and I didn't even dare to walk over.

What I saw was the white bones, but what I felt was something else. Since I practiced the "Wudang Five Elements Gong", I have meditated every day to refine the qi in my body, and now I have a considerable sense of the changes in the aura around me. When I entered the dark passage, I felt that the situation around me was strange, and the breath was too chaotic. It's like an ordinary person walking into a morgue, no matter how sunny it is outside, but as soon as you walk in, you will immediately feel a burst of yin air, like a cold wind blowing. This is true for ordinary people, let alone me. At this moment, I feel ten times as cold as in a hospital morgue.

There's something weird about this place!

I took out the bell given by Senior Han and shook it, the bell sounded, and the yin qi around it suddenly dissipated, this feeling was particularly obvious, like cold and hot, and even the air was a lot fresher.

"Xiaoshan, what's going on down there?"

The fat man shouted from above.

"Don't come down yet, there are some evil sects down there!"

I replied, and then took a deep breath, although the yin qi here was very heavy and the bones were white, it was quite peaceful, and I didn't see any ghosts and monsters. Besides, the earthen wall above has been sealed, and they don't know when the beads will open the mechanism. The only way to do this is to take the dark road, and maybe you can break out.

Walking forward while rattling the bell, he gently stepped on the road paved with white bones, these bones looked old, and fine cracks could be seen on the surface, I don't know what era left, but it could never be after liberation. If there are hundreds of bones here, it is equivalent to the death of hundreds of people, and after the liberation, so many people died at once, and it was still in Shanghai, and it would have blown up the sky a long time ago. Combined with the time when the Xuanming Temple was built, I have reason to believe that all the white bones here may have been laid in the Qing Dynasty, or in the early years of the Republic of China.

Lowering my head slightly, I walked about ten meters forward and walked around the skeleton hanging from my head, but the flashlight still did not reach the end of the road. But luckily, I haven't seen any monsters so far!

I tried to take a few more steps forward, and when my flashlight shone around, I saw a little white thing flashing by! Crawled out between the bones!

What is it! I was shocked, I did see something white just now, but it disappeared very quickly.

I took a few steps to the side, the flashlight kept shining in front of me, people looked different when they were alive, but when they died, just looking at the bones, they all felt similar. The bones lay silently, dead for years, but as if they were alive. The pair of hollow, dark eyes seemed to stare at me.

"There won't be any demons, right?"

I muttered to myself, and the flashlight flickered around again. Suddenly, I found a small thing shuttling between the bones, this time I saw it very really, the long shape looked like a small snake, but it should not be a snake, because it didn't look particularly smooth, I walked forward quickly. But the tiny figure disappeared again......

What could it be? It looks like some kind of animal, but it's all white bones and there's nothing for the animals to eat, is it a bug? It's kind of like that, but I don't remember the white bugs, and they're pretty big.

I stopped and looked back, the road behind me had turned pitch black, should I continue to explore or go back and join the fat man first? I hesitated for a while, shook my head or decided to move on, the fat man has to take care of the girl named Shen Mengtian, if they come down with me and are attacked again, the girl's life is in danger. The fat man and I still have the power to protect ourselves, and that girl is afraid of even insects. In any case, I have to go to the end of this bone passage, at least to figure out where it leads.

Confident in my confidence, I kept going, my shoes clattering against my bones, and every nerve in my head tensed up for fear that the bones would jump out and attack me. Looking at these white bones is like looking at countless moving monsters.

After walking for nearly 20 meters, I still didn't see the end of the road, but the situation around me began to change! I could hear a strange sound in all the bones around me, "click, click......" was like the sound of bones striking, I had to stop, my whole heart was extremely nervous, could my wild conjecture really come true? Can the bones move here?

I swept around with my flashlight again, and suddenly I saw one of the bones trembling slightly, and I hurriedly retreated. I'm still quite confident in my eyesight, and the bones have indeed moved.

"Master Zu bless, don't let me really encounter such a strange thing alone."

I squinted my eyes, I was alone at this moment, there were no fat people to take care of them, there were so many bones around me, if they were all moving monsters, then I wasn't finished!

Either way, you have to make sure that the skeleton you just saw has really moved! With mixed feelings, I walked over step by step with a flashlight, and the skeleton that had just moved was silent and very quiet at the moment.

"Could it be that I was wrong again?"

I squinted my eyes, a little uncertain.

"Click......"

But at this moment, when I walked in front of this skeleton, the white bones in front of me actually moved again, the whole arm trembled slightly, and the bones turned outward!

"!"

I cursed in my heart, this time I was not mistaken, it was definitely this skeleton that moved. Immediately raised the bell in his hand and shook it violently, but the bones did not react as the shaking sound kept coming. Only the yin qi around him gradually dissipated, could it be that he was too nervous and made a mistake? I tried to get closer, only to see a small, slender thing poking its head out of the bone. It looks like a snake, but it is not a snake, two long tentacles extend from the front of the head, and the body is the color of white bones divided into dozens of knots, like a writhing bamboo. In front of the big head is a pair of terrible pincers.

This thing is not a snake, but it is as long as a small snake, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back when I saw it, and exclaimed, "Damn, what a big centipede!" ”

I never thought that I could see centipedes in this lifeless underground bone forest, and it was a white centipede that I had never seen before. The longest centipede I've ever seen in the field in the past is about the same as my finger, but this thing in front of me is much bigger, just the big head that pokes out of the gap in the white bones is three or four centimeters, and I can vaguely see the body entrenched in the white bones, I estimate that it must be about twenty centimeters long!

A white centipede more than 20 centimeters long looked at me fiercely, saying that it was if it wasn't scary, and my legs and stomach began to tremble because of nervousness.

It shook its head, pulling the arm of the white bone next to it with every movement, which is why I saw the white bone vibrating! Put the bell away, and slowly pull out the three-edged thorn from his waist, my bell is useless against this kind of thing, the three-edged thorn can also defend himself. It seemed to know the power of the triangular thorn, and after staring at me for a moment, it slowly retracted, and finally crawled into the white bones, disappearing in the light of the flashlight.

However, I didn't let it relax, and it disappeared without a trace, which made me even more nervous. Where did this guy go? Will they attack me in the shadows? In an instant, a myriad of similar questions popped into my head. It's as if a terrible time bomb has been planted around the body.

Holding the flashlight in my mouth, I hurriedly took out such a strange centipede from my close pocket, it must be an earth beast or something, I hope it will be recorded in "Strange Tales of the Mountains". The hard work paid off, and I finally found the guy's provenance after flipping through several pages.

This white centipede is called the bone beetle, which is a kind of earth beast, which was first found in the Northern Song Dynasty, when an old man in the mountains went into the forest to collect firewood, he never wanted to fall off the cliff and found the bones of several dead people. He originally wanted to scavenge the bones to see what was valuable, but he didn't expect that a very long white centipede suddenly popped out, this centipede was like a white bone change, the body was as long as a snake, insidious and vicious, the frightened old man hurriedly ran away, returned to the village and reported to the yamen! Hence the discovery of the presence of the osteopede.
