Chapter 183: The Outstretched Arm in the Grave (1st Update)
I'm really worried that if I am separated from the others, they will be attacked by the high priest and the ghost boy, and in such a dark night, I will not be able to see the situation clearly from a few meters away, not to mention that there are bushes everywhere, once people are dragged into the bushes by the ghost boy, it will be difficult to find them.
Therefore, this operation can only be set off by everyone. Fortunately, when you come out for field archaeology, a high-performance flashlight is a necessary tool, one for each person, and there are people on guard before and after, left and right, but there is nothing to worry about.
We followed the direction from which the sound came, and as we got closer and closer to the sound, the feeling of beating my heart became more and more severe, and my heart couldn't help but twitch uncomfortably, and Professor Liang even began to gasp for breath. Some had trouble breathing.
"Professor, do you want to take a break?" I was a little worried about Professor Leung's health.
"It's okay, I can still hold on." Professor Leung waved his hand.
I glanced at the crowd and saw that none of them looked very good, and it was clear that they seemed to be suffering more than I was.
Continue to follow the sound. The bright flashlight shone on the ground, and there were traces of open stones, and the surrounding environment seemed to be becoming more and more familiar.
When I saw a fallen dead tree, I suddenly remembered why it all looked so familiarβisn't this the place where we temporarily buried Yao Haifeng?
His body was buried in a pit not far from the dead tree, and the sound of stones striking was not far away......
I don't dare to think about it anymore. The footsteps couldn't help but stop.
Seeing me stop, the people behind me asked a little puzzled, "Why don't you leave?" β
As I spoke, the sound of hitting the stones suddenly stopped, but my heart hung in the air, looking at the surroundings shrouded in darkness, and the alarm bell sounded in my heart: this is definitely a trap, the other party used such a voice to lure us over, stop at this moment, maybe they want to sneak attack.
"Everyone is vigilant and shouts when there is a situation." I said in a deep voice.
But after standing in place for four or five minutes, nothing unusual happened, and without the interference of the sound of hitting the stones, Professor Liang's body quickly recovered, and he said, "Ji Zang, what should we do next?" Get back? β
That's what I'm going to do, because if I keep going, it's likely to be dangerous, and the sound of hitting the rocks is gone, so it's better to go back safely.
But before I could speak, the sound of the stone striking sounded again, and the sound became a little weak, and the tempo slowed down a lot, and this time, at last, it was not as uncomfortable as before.
"Let's go over and have a look, or don't think about sleeping tonight." It was still Professor Liang who spoke.
Following the sound, after walking more than ten meters, I went around a large rock, and the sound of knocking on the rocks, which was close at hand, stopped again.
My heart almost rose to my throat, and the hairs all over my body stood up, and the other party was obviously very aware of our movements, which was a trap no matter how we looked at it, but we still had to step in, because the sound of hitting the stones, if it was a night in a row, I was afraid that everyone would die of a heart attack.
With this in mind, I began to visualize my left hand, turning it into the left hand of the demon god with the lava skin, and then I shone my flashlight at the place where I remembered the sound I had just made.
Just as I suspected, the flashlight beam hit Yao Haifeng's temporary grave.
Seeing that it was the grave that he had built with his own hands in the evening, everyone couldn't help but exclaim, and several team members couldn't help but whisper.
"It can't be that Yao Haifeng is knocking on stones after he dies, right?"
"Could it be that Liang Shuang is knocking and asking us for help?"
"Didn't he say that he saw that Liang Shuang was dead?"
"I don't believe him."
β¦β¦
Several male team members have become wet market aunts at this moment, and their tongue-chewing skills are instantly full. But I don't want to pay attention to it, for now all my attention is on the improvised grave.
Either way, I had to solve the problem at hand, even if it was a trap. The high priest who designed the trap must also be driven away, or I don't know how many members of the team will die tonight.
I booed and motioned for silence before stepping forward with my flashlight in hand, ready to find out what was wrong.
As soon as I took a step, the sound of hitting the stone suddenly sounded again, and I followed the sound and adjusted the direction of the flashlight, and finally saw the source of the sound of hitting the stone.
Under the bright flashlight beam, a bloody arm reached out of the improvised grave, holding a stone and knocking it up and down on another.
With each blow, blood fell from the arm, staining the two stones so red that when the stones were lifted, a long thread of blood was stuck in the middle.
"Ah!!h Dong Xin behind him let out a piercing scream, obviously on the verge of collapse.
Hearing Dong Xin's scream, I knew that something was wrong, in the wilderness of this dark night, the enemy was still lurking in the dark, panic and collapse would only give the enemy a chance, before I could open my mouth to calm people's hearts, a voice had already come out of the tomb.
"It hurts! Help me. The voice was poignant and tragic, and it was clearly Yao Haifeng's voice.
This time. The archaeologists standing behind me could no longer composure and ran in the direction of the camp screaming, leaving only Professor Liang and an old man standing in place.
"Danger! Don't run around! All back! Follow me! I quickly ran to Professor Liang, picked him up, and chased him in the direction of the crowd, but they only screamed and fled. Where does anyone pay attention to my greetings?
After having the left hand of the demon god, my physical fitness has obviously improved a lot, but this does not mean that I can carry a big living person to run and catch up with a group of young people who are running wildly.
When I carried Professor Liang on my shoulders and hurried back to the camp, where the bonfire was still burning, I saw a group of archaeological team members squatting around the fire and shivering, both men and women. All crying.
I can understand their feelings, it is normal to cry when encountering such a terrible thing, and it is useless to scold them at this time, it is better to comfort them.
"It's okay, I won't sleep tonight. I accompanied everyone at the vigil. Actually, you don't have to worry, if that guy really has the ability to come to the door, he won't deliberately knock on the stone to lure us over, so he definitely can't get out, or dare not come to the campfire. β
Professor Liang also gasped for breath at this time. began to help: "Ji Zang is right, flame is the only way to cleanse evil in all religions, we will be fine with the bonfire tonight." β
Professor Liang swears by what he said, but he probably doesn't believe this kind of thing himself, this is to appease the young archaeological team members.
The two of us are talking about it. A group of young archaeologists finally calmed down, but soon, I noticed another problem: there was one person missing from the team, and the young archaeologists named Liao Shengchao were gone.
"What about Liao Shengchao? Which of you have met? β
The crowd immediately looked at each other, they had only cared about running to the camp before, and no one cared about anyone. No one noticed Liao Shengchao's whereabouts at all.
It's over, this guy must be dead.
I stood at the entrance of the rock wall and shouted Liao Shengchao's name outside for a while, and all I answered was the sound of the wind in the mountains.
I silently sat down by the campfire and watched the darkness of the night outside.
"Ji Zang. Xiao Liao...... Shall we go and find out? Professor Liang's voice trembled.
"No, I'm definitely dead, and if we go out now, maybe there will be casualties. In fact, knocking stones before was a conspiracy of the enemy, just to lure us through. Now that the enemy's purpose has been achieved, it will cease. β
The atmosphere was once again extremely oppressive, and everyone was silent, except for the sound of heavy breathing.
"Go to sleep, the enemy's goal has been achieved, there is no point in continuing the vigil, rest well, tomorrow we will enter the cave, so that we will have enough energy to crack the enemy's conspiracy."
Even though I say so, the crowd is slow to move, and in this case, how many people can sleep?
"Dong Xin. Why don't you cook something for the big guy to eat, you might be hungry after tossing it just now. β
In the midst of extreme panic, food can also relax people's tense nerves, which is the best thing I can think of right now.
Dong Xin didn't know whether he understood or obeyed my words. Half a pot of water was poured out of the water bladder, and it was boiled on the bonfire, then a large bag of instant noodles was taken out, and the mouth of the bag was opened, and the dough cake was put in just when the water boiled.
Sure enough, the food will divert attention. As the hot water boiled, the instant noodle cake was put into the pot, and the fragrance spread, and the originally panicked team members all set their eyes on the iron pot on the bonfire.
Bowls of instant noodles were served by Dong Xin, and there were not many noodles. But the spicy soup was enough, and a group of people lowered their heads and ate it, and even Professor Liang, who had always said that he never ate instant noodles, also ate a small bowl.
I'm actually not very hungry, and I told Dong Xin to cook just for everyone's mental state, but Dong Xin had to serve me a bowl, and I ate it too.
Soon, the instant noodles in the bowl were eaten cleanly, and even the oil soup was drunk without any waste.
"Okay, let's all go back to the tent and rest, if you're really worried, you can squeeze two people into a tent." I greeted the crowd.
As soon as these words came out, Dong Xin immediately looked at me, and I realized that there was only one female player Dong Xin, and she was afraid that no one would squeeze together.
It's embarrassing.
"That...... Dong Xin: If you're afraid, you can move the tent next to the campfire and sleep next to me. It's also a little more reassuring. β
"Okay."
With everything all set up, I continued to sit by the campfire and keep vigil, thinking about what had happened tonight.
Suddenly, I felt something cool dripping from my hair.
It's raining?
I subconsciously reached out and touched it, and under the firelight, my palms were red. Then another drop landed in the palm of my hand, and it was a thick drop of blood.
