Book 2: The Bronze Hanging Coffin of the Ba People Chapter 73: The Strange Horn Hole
Looking at that strange place, I can't help but think, the evil door is wrong! Why is there green vegetation growing in this whole gourd cave? Could it be that the sound from the underworld is made by these green plants?
With curiosity, I turned on the safety bolt of the MP18 submachine gun, turned on the flashlight, and was cautious at first, step by step, close to the distorted green area, the reason why I was so careful was because this area was so strange, all rocks, and no water source, these green plants actually grew so luxuriantly, I even wondered if it would rely on corpses or blood to absorb the camp, so when I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel palpitations, after all, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, The reason why I, Wu Nian, turn evil into good fortune every time, is it precisely because of my careful thinking that I can save my life.
After approaching these green plants, I found that these green plants were originally made of a mixture of two plants, and its growth range was particularly large, and the visual inspection was more than ten flat, I used a gun to pull it out, and looked at it a little, and found that one of the two plants I could not name, but there was a kind of leaf that I recognized at a glance as "seeing blood and sealing the throat", and immediately retracted the head of the gun on the spot, and was shocked.
Seeing my actions and reactions, everyone hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”
I explained to everyone a little what is the blood seal throat, two years ago I learned in Yunnan from Uncle Zhang's mouth a plant called the blood seal throat, and then I went back to check the relevant information, only to learn that the "blood seal throat" academic name is "arrow poison wood", this plant can be seen in the primeval forest of Yunnan, it is a kind of tree, the milky white liquid on the trunk contains extremely poisonous, once it touches the wound of people and animals, the blood vessels will be closed, the blood coagulates, and even suffocation death, the name of "seeing blood and sealing the throat" comes from this, Uncle Zhang once felt me, when he was young, he once hunted in the primeval forest where we found the haunted house in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and was accidentally targeted by a bear, in order to save his life, he climbed a tall tree, but the bear was chasing after him, and also went up the tree, when his life hung by a thread, Uncle Zhang found that the tree he was in was actually a bloody throat, and immediately cut off a branch from the tree with a hunting knife, and then stabbed the sharp head at the bear, and the bear was poisoned and died on the spot.
Later, after I checked the information, I found that there are also many examples of legends about hunting or fighting with the special venom of the bloody throat, which shows that the title of the bloody throat seal is not in vain.
It's just that I don't understand how this bloody throat should be a tree, how can there be a single leaf growing on this hidden ground, could it be ...... Could it be that there is another space under this green plant? Thinking about it at the moment, I immediately used a climbing rope to tie these bloody throats on the ground with unknown green plants, so as to see if the place covered by the green plants is not a big article, and just when I pulled out the lower part of the green plants, I immediately had a cool breeze blowing in the face, and the cut in front of me was a deep pit of the black hole, at first I thought it was a sinkhole, but after I used a wolf's eye flashlight to shine into the hole, I found that it was not, but a wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like a cave in the shape of a trumpet. The depths of the cave are blocked by some horizontal and vertical, criss-crossed, gray-white cylindrical objects, I look up along this cylindrical object, that is, where we are now, it turns out that this gray-white cylindrical object is not another thing, it is the body of the tree that sees the blood sealing throat, and suddenly I understand, it turns out that the blood sealing throat is a growth from the depths of the horn hole, if this is the case, then there must be a hole in the depths of the horn hole, there must be a larger space.
Looking at the depths of the horn hole, I said to everyone, "I see that eighty percent of the dead corpses who have been resurrected just now have run into this horn hole, and the fat man and the black boy should have also entered the depths of this hole. After a moment's pause, I looked at the ghost, and said, "Looks like we need to go down." ”
Lan Xin also offered to go down with us to have a look, what I didn't expect was that Professor Ouyang, Xiao Kai and Dachangtong also offered to go down with us one by one when they heard that Lan Xin volunteered to go down with us This weird and mysterious, full of unknown horn hole depths, and I naturally resolutely disagreed, I said, "No!" We don't know the danger in the depths of this horn hole, but you all heard it just now, and the sound that seems to come from the underworld came from here, and the strange resurrected corpse should also have entered this hole, so I don't think it's a good thing to have one more person in this kind of place, and it's safer for me to go down with the ghost. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Lan Xin objected to me, and she ignored my intentions and said while preparing the climbing rope from her backpack, "What is the insurance!" You're both the kind of people who don't take your lives seriously, and if I don't go down and watch, you might do something. ”
Professor Ouyang also said, "That, Brother Wu Nian!" I know you care about me, but I'm engaged in archaeology and exploration, and I've lived enough anyway, and I can't let go of this opportunity to discover new things. ”
As soon as Professor Ouyang finished speaking, Xiao Kai immediately rushed in front of me, not giving me a chance to speak, and said, "Brother Wu Nian! I've figured it out, I actually chose archaeology as the road of no return, then I should exercise more, I am honored to be able to adventure with you this time, this experience has made me feel that I have grown a lot and become a lot braver, so I will not run away, besides, I can also help you if I go down with you, Wu Niange! Don't forget, none of you know anything about biology, maybe there are some strange creatures down there, there are threats to you, and I can help you find their weaknesses, so you can't be wrong with me, Brother Ang Nian, you still bring me! ”
In fact, what Xiao Kai said is also, he is an expert among us in terms of biological knowledge, although I also know a little bit about it, but I am still far from anxious for him to understand, I patted Xiao Kai's head lightly, and said, "Let you say everything, what else do I say?" ”
At this time, Dachangtong also hurried over, he wanted to learn from Xiao Kai to say a series of heartfelt words, but just when he just said "Master ......", I directly interrupted him, "Master, what master!" You must not go down, you and the Health Bureau stay to take care of Xiaoying, I tell you, this is also a difficult task, and protecting Xiaoying is your next responsibility, do you know. Then, regardless of whether Dachang Tongtong disagrees or not, he just says, "Okay! The teacher's mind is broken, so it's decided. ”
Due to the previous desperate battle with Gu Xiao, and the resurrection of the dry corpse, we fired a lot of guns, and now there is not much ammunition, only me, the ghost, and Lan Xin's MP18 submachine gun still have one snail magazine left, and as for the weapons depot of the bandits' den, everything has been looted by us, so now we can only distribute the only three boxes of ammunition we have left.
Dachangtong and the officer's guard are responsible for staying to take care of Xiaoying, I have observed this gourd cave a few times, it is estimated that there is not much danger, the only thing that is not at ease is those dry corpses that died strangely, God knows if they will have any of them suddenly like the one in front of them, inexplicably resurrected, so I explained to Dachangtong, find a way to burn the rest of the body, and leave my MP18 that is still full of ammunition to them, and as for the few people who are ready to go down the horn hole on our side, There is no doubt that even if the marksmanship is a ghost, he is our guarantee, so his MP18 must be guaranteed to be fully charged, and then the ammunition of Lanxin will be divided into a little bit to Professor Ouyang and Xiao Kai as needed.
After the ammunition was distributed, I, Ghost, Lan Xin, Professor Ouyang and Xiao Kai got on the climbing rope and prepared to go down this unknown and mysterious horn hole. How can you burn those dried corpses without a lighter? ”
I said helplessly, "My lighter is also on the fat man's side, you can figure it out yourself, if it doesn't work, you can use the oldest drill wood to make fire or stone fire, anyway, how happy you are." With that, I pulled the climbing rope to make sure that the pitons were firmly hit, and immediately went down the horn hole first, followed by the ghost, and then Lan Xin, Professor Ouyang, and Xiao Kai.
This widest and ten flat horn hole is not straight up and down, but has a certain slope, the four sides of the hole are rocks, there are a lot of irregular and strange pattern dents on it, because the age is too old, so we can not see whether it is artificial or natural, we follow the branch of "see the blood to seal the throat" all the way down, carefully come to the end of the horn hole, that is, the narrowest position of the hole, this narrow hole just a person can climb into, I have a kind of omen before entering, this drill into is more auspicious and less, I might even encounter all kinds of strange monsters that we hadn't experienced before, so I looked back at everyone behind me before going in, and said, "One last time, you can think about it, this entry may be unimaginable, but don't blame me for not reminding you, and now I regret it." ”
Professor Ouyang was the first to answer me, he said, "This trunk of the blood-sealed throat grows so well and thickly, and the leaves are so lush, it can be seen that the main trunk hidden in this cave is quite huge, I estimate that there must be a cave at the other end of the cave, maybe there are many miracles, not to mention regret it, I can't wait to go in and find out now!" Brother Wu Nian, don't worry too much, if you come, you will be safe, go in quickly. ”
The others nodded resolutely.
The first thing I felt was a gust of wind when I entered, and the air I smelled was very different from the gourd hole above, as if there was a very heavy musty smell, as if something had been in the humid space for a long time, and it was moldy.
After the whole person came in completely, I first used a wolf's eye flashlight to shine on my surroundings, and found that all around me were covered with palm-sized bloody throat leaves, and under my feet was a waist-thick trunk, and then I took a serious look, only to understand, it turned out that I was now in the position of the blood sealing throat tree, it seems that there is a huge bloody throat sealing tree in this horn hole, and we saw the blood sealing throat leaves in the gourd cave earlier because the branch has no place to grow, so to the other side of the horn hole, That is, the space in the gourd hole is long.
As soon as I understood, I was immediately shocked, this branch is as thick as my waist, so how tall does this tree have to be? This is not necessarily a good thing for me who has a fear of heights, but it's good that it's dark here, I can't see the height clearly, so I won't have weak feet, and then the ghost behind me can't get in because I gambled, so he gently pushed me and asked, "Wang, what are you doing?" Why don't you go. ”
I immediately nervously said, "Boss...... Lao Wang, don't push me, I'm in the treetops now, don't you want to push me down and fall to my death? I said as I hugged my waist-thick branch.
The ghost in the back immediately stopped pushing me and said "Sorry! Excuse me! ”
I calmed my mind and said to the people behind me who hadn't yet entered the cave, "Hey! In the back, be careful when you come in, this one is on the top of a big tree that seals its throat with blood, all leisurely, don't say I didn't remind you. After speaking, he bowed his body, and moved forward a little bit so that the ghosts could come in, and everyone came in one by one, and they all squatted and looked around with a wolf's eye flashlight to observe this strange bloody throat.
Its strangeness lies in the fact that the tree does not grow straight, but grows crookedly, and the whole tree is like an arched bridge, growing from the dark end of the pillar of light of my flashlight, but the tree is sloping downward, but the angle of the oblique is about 20 degrees, just convenient for us to walk over, I am now in the body of the tree, although I can't completely seal the whole tree into the eyes, but I really feel that this tree is very large, just its body has two of me as thick.
The ghost behind me was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked me, "Wang!" Why is this tree so strange? Why is it so long diagonally instead of straight upwards? Is it really a slanted door? ”
Because I was so concerned about my feet that I was afraid that I would accidentally fall off without stepping on it, I casually replied to the ghost, "How do I know!" It's not a tree I planted, you ask it to go, don't ask me! I'm fucking uncomfortable. ”
Just when my voice fell, I didn't know who suddenly hit a flare downward, only to hear a long sound of "whoosh", the entire space under the blood-sealed throat tree was instantly brightened by the white light of the flare, and I saw that the tree was under the abyss, for a moment the feet were soft, and immediately the whole person lay down, trying to hold the two of my thick tree bodies, closed his eyes and did not dare to look directly at the bottomless abyss under the tree, and asked, "I...... I said, I said you don't have long eyes? Can you wait until I'm done walking through this section of the tree before throwing a flare, isn't that killing me? ”
At this time, Lan Xin and the ghost spoke up almost at the same time, saying, "Don't throw flares and cold fireworks, Wu Nian has a fear of heights." ”
And Xiao Kai's voice came from behind, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect Wu Niange to have a fear of heights!" Then he immediately changed his tone and asked me, "Brother Wu Nian, I didn't expect you to have weaknesses too!" I thought you could do anything. After saying that, he giggled twice.
I muttered and complained, "Master, I'm not fighting to defeat the Buddha Sun Wukong, I can't have a weakness, right, besides, Sun Wukong is still afraid of the tight spell." ”
We walked a few dozen meters along the body of the tree that saw the blood sealing the throat, and walked towards the darkness at the end of the flashlight, and at this moment, something else appeared under the light pillar of my flashlight, this thing was a fat and bloated thing, the thing was still moving slightly, it was lying on the tree, its head was down, its ass was facing me, as soon as I found this strange thing, I immediately made a gesture of raising my hand and clawing my fist to the people behind me, meaning to stop them from moving forward.
The ghost also noticed this strange thing, and his flashlight beam was next to mine, and it was thrown at the thing that stood in front of us and I don't know what it was, and under the pillar of light, I saw that the thing seemed to be chewing on the body of the tree that had seen the blood sealing its throat, and it made a slight chewing sound, and it still had a trace of torn clothes hanging on its body, which was the dried corpse bandit who suddenly resurrected in the gourd cave and ran like a lizard, is it ...... Could this be the bandit who came back from the dead? I was struck by my own speculation.
Since Xiao Kai didn't know what was happening in front of us at the end, he asked, "Brother Wu Nian, why don't you leave?" ”
I was going to use the light of my flashlight to shut him up, but it was too late, and for some reason the bloated resurrected bandit suddenly turned around and stared at me with his green eyes......
