Chapter 29: Corpses and Murals

Everyone was startled by Gao Yu's sudden voice, and they all raised their weapons and looked in the direction where Gao Yu was, and sure enough, they found a "person" on the ground, which should be a corpse to be precise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The corpse had apparently been here for a long time, Zhou's body was covered in dust, the corpse held a huge trident in its left hand, and its right hand was missing, and its whole body was sitting on its back, its head pierced by a spear, firmly fixed to the statue. Because it was behind the side of the statue, everyone didn't find it at the first time, and Gao Yu was also curious, and when he wanted to see the whole picture of the statue, he accidentally found it.

Liang Hansheng and Lu Ming conducted a serious examination of the corpse, judging from the appearance of the corpse, it should be a mermaid, and it has been dead for a long time, Liang Hansheng preliminarily judged that it has been more than ten years. The fatal wound was obviously pierced through the head by a spear, and he died very painfully, without even struggling, and the trident in his hand was still held very tightly. This couldn't help but make Lu Ming think of the death of those mermaids in the first layer of the cave, which was surprisingly consistent. Soon everyone found out one after another, there were obvious traces of fighting on the ground, although a long time had passed, but it was obvious that the battle was very fierce, but the blood on the ground was basically black and purple, and no other colors of blood were found.

Could it be that these merfolk themselves are infighting? Or is there some other species that breaks in and kills these merfolk? This is the first conclusion that everyone came to, if it is the former, then their hope of survival will be greatly improved, maybe there will be a chance to fish in troubled waters. But if the latter is the case, then the situation is not easy to say, if the alien species is friend or foe, then they are likely to face a belly and back enemy.

After a careful examination of the hall again, they found that there was no way out but an old red door behind the statue. After pulling out the spear and throwing the bone sword to Gao Yu, Meng Da came to the gate, and the others also changed their guns, found their own blades from the weapon racks around them, and surrounded Meng Da, looking nervously at the big red door.

Squeak ~~~

Meng Da pushed the door open with force, and the others immediately raised their weapons and aimed at the door, at this time, no matter what came out, I am afraid that it would be stabbed into a hornet's nest by everyone, but the expected plot did not happen. When the door opened, nothing happened, but it was surprisingly quiet, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see anything.

Meng Da wanted to go inside to see what was going on, but as soon as he walked further, he suddenly retreated, squatted on the ground and retched violently. Everyone obviously didn't understand what was going on, so they could only stay around vigilantly, Lu Ming hurriedly squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?" What's inside? ”

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Meng Da coughed violently a few times before it came and said, "The taste inside, the inside... ”

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ming smelled an indescribable smell of rot, pungent and disgusting, and everyone around him covered their mouths and noses one after another, away from the position of the gate.

"I don't know what's in there, the smell is so bad, I almost fainted, it's so disgusting." Meng Da said.

After a while, the unpleasant smell spread throughout the hall, but perhaps because it was diluted by the fresh air, the smell was not as strong as it was at first, but it was slightly uncomfortable, but everyone still retreated to the previous passage, and only after confirming that the smell was not poisonous, did they slowly approach the red gate again.

Looking in from the door, it was still dark, Meng Da plucked up his courage again, turned on the flashlight and looked inside. One second, two seconds, three seconds. In less than five seconds, Meng Da withdrew and vomited on the ground, even more intensely than last time, and his whole body even trembled slightly. This time, Lu Ming was also a little impatient, and personally took a look inside with a flashlight, but he didn't expect it to be a hellish scene inside.

Dozens of mermaid corpses were lying on the ground, most of them had turned into dried corpses, and the entire ground was full of stumps and severed arms and various weapons, and even some equipment and items needed for battle, but these things all exuded a strange purple color without exception, obviously penetrated by the blood of the mermaids, and the pungent smell before was obviously emanated from these mermaids who had turned into dried corpses. Looking at it, Lu Ming was also a little overwhelmed, squatting with Meng Da and vomiting.

As more and more people couldn't help but look inside, it finally turned into a scene of a group of people squatting together and vomiting. After taking a few more sips of water, Meng Da said with palpitations: "What the hell is going on, how are these mermaids dead." Brother Lu, shall we still go in? ”

"We must still enter, where can our group of people go, if we can't complete the task, it's still a death. Now what we need to worry about is that there may be a character in it who is even more ruthless than the mermaid, and it is probably not a good thing. If you look at those mermaids, many of them were tortured and killed, which shows how ruthless this guy is, and I guess it's likely to be a monster too. Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said to Meng Da.

"Okay, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it. Turn on the flashlight, let's go in, and if there's anything unusual, we'll all go on together. Lu Ming then said fiercely.

Just as everyone was entering the gate one after another, Liang Hansheng suddenly came to Lu Ming's side and whispered to him: "Captain Lu, I still have a bottle of black potion here, you can apply him to the crossbow arrow later." I have only one request, I hope you can take care of Wen Li more later. As he spoke, he stuffed a bottle of potion into Lu Ming's hand.

Lu Ming glanced at Liang Hansheng deeply and did not speak. He clearly remembered that Liang Hansheng said that the previous potion was the last bottle, but he didn't expect that he still kept a hand, and it was estimated that he wanted to keep this bottle for his own use. However, now the situation has changed, because there is likely to be a very terrifying monster inside, no one can ensure that he can survive, and the only threat to the monster is probably the crossbow in Lu Ming's hand, so he gave the bottle of medicine in his hand to Lu Ming to ask for peace for his wife.

Liang Hansheng looked a little embarrassed, didn't dare to look directly at Lu Ming, and said a little evasively: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just... ”

"Alright, Dr. Liang, let's go." Lu Ming interrupted: "If you don't keep up, you won't be able to protect Doctor Zhu." Liang Hansheng, who got the promise, hurriedly nodded happily, trotted forward to support Zhu Wenli, and looked back at Lu Ming gratefully from time to time.

Lu Ming himself also had some mixed feelings in his heart, and sighed that human nature is really complicated. When he first came into contact, he always felt that Liang Hansheng and his wife were a very shrewd couple, especially when they were in Yongning Town, and some of their practices deepened Lu Ming's understanding. But later, Liang Hansheng secretly stuffed himself with medicine, and then helped to treat Shaq, which once again made Lu Ming's senses change a lot towards them, and he felt that these two people were great people, and even admired them a little.

However, when he saw Liang Hansheng take out a bottle of potion again, he had a kind of anger at being deceived, perhaps more of an annoyance and anger at being deceived by someone he trusted. But Lu Ming thought about it again, in the current situation, who is not selfish, and who will not think more about themselves. On the contrary, if there was no Liang Hansheng's medicine before, it would definitely be more difficult for them to deal with the mermaid at the first level, and he really had to accept Liang Hansheng's love in this matter, not to mention that Liang Hansheng was not trying to survive for himself, but hoped that Lu Ming could take care of his wife. This also made Lu Ming unable to refuse, because he himself is also a temperamental person, and he understands the psychology of guarding his lover!

Soon everyone came to the vicinity of these corpses, with the help of the light of the flashlight, everyone found that the place they were in was much larger than the previous hall, shaped into a long strip, everyone pressed against the wall on one side and kept moving forward, and they could clearly see that the ground was full of corpses and all kinds of weapons, without exception, these corpses were all mermaids they had come into contact with before! Carefully, Lu Ming also found that although some mermaids were tortured and killed, most of them were directly shot through the head and died, and some could even be clearly seen to be hit during the running process and fell directly to the ground, and the things inserted in their heads were also strange, including spears, short sticks, and even stones.

"Brother Lu, look at the wall" Gao Yu, who was on the side, suddenly patted Lu Ming's shoulder and whispered.

Lu Ming looked intently, and there were carved and lifelike murals on the wall, a total of six, which seemed to be telling a story.

The first two pictures show all sorts of merfolk fighting around as if they were fighting over something. Among them, there were the mermaids that Lu Ming and the others saw that were a bit like black fish, and there were also some strange mermaids that they had never seen before, and in the end, it seemed that the black fish mermaid won and obtained a mysterious box.

In the third picture, a black mermaid wearing a crown opened the box, and a dazzling light suddenly came out of the box, enveloping all the black fish merfolk, and then a similar crown mermaid and a group of identical mermaid soldiers appeared in the picture, just like a copy. As soon as the two sides met, they fought each other, and in the end, I don't know whether it was the main body or the replica that won. In short, the defeated blackfish merfolk were gradually driven away, and just when they were about to be destroyed, the mysterious box suddenly had a vision, rose into the air and formed a crack to suck all the defeated blackfish merfolk into it.

In the fourth painting, all the defeated black fish mermaids seem to have been sucked into a cave, and under the leadership of the crown mermaids, they began to rebuild a new home, the first to build is the palace where Lu Ming and they are now, and then they kept producing equipment and digging tunnels, obviously trying to get out of the cave. On the other side, the mermaid with the crown opened the box again, but surprisingly, this time the contents of the box did not duplicate the mermaid.

In the penultimate painting, the mermaid wearing a crown stands on a round golden altar, holding a baby mermaid in front of a strange thing surrounded by a double fish, and then an identical baby mermaid is obtained, and then more and more baby mermaids are copied and gradually grow up, inheriting the will of their ancestors, and constantly looking for a way out.

However, the content of the last painting made Lu Ming and the others frown.
