Chapter 20: Heart-Digging

No matter how I cut it, the snake vine sticks out of the wall endlessly. There are not only snake vines that I cut off under my feet, but also blood flowing down the snake vines, which are sticky under my feet. Many of the severed snake vines have shrunk up, and if you look closely, not only those that have been cut off, but even the snake vines that have been cut and bleeding have also shrunk up.

Although many of them have been cut or broken by me, the snake vines sticking out of the wall are not afraid at all, and they are not less at all, and a large number of them stick out of the wall, and it feels like there are many more than just now. Even though the long knife in my hand flew from side to side, it was difficult to parry so many snake vines.

The fight had stopped on their side, and the two were entangled by snake vines, and the little wolf had a few wrapped around his body, but he was still fighting. If this development continues, it is estimated that it will not be long before we all have to be entangled, so we have to find a way to do it. Even if you don't get entangled, you have to be tired to death, this snake vine has no intention of cutting it at all, how many times you cut it, it will stretch out more next time.

Looking at the little wolf, I shouted and asked, "Do you know how to deal with this thing?" ”

"Go and kill the living corpses on the stone platform."

I was a little confused, thinking I had misheard, and asked him how to deal with the snake vine, but he asked him to get the headless corpse. I asked again and got the same answer before I dared to believe my ears. But I still didn't understand why I was going to kill a headless living corpse now. I hesitated, I should have rescued them first, the corpse was not moving, and it would not pose any danger to us, so I decided to rescue the wolf first.

I was still standing there and using my long knife to cut the snake vine, and the little wolf was holding the knife in his hand to cut the snake vine, and shouted at me, "Didn't you hear me? ”

"I heard that, after saving you, I'll go and kill the corpse."

"Come on, the two of them won't last long."

After listening to the little wolf, I took a few steps back and looked in the direction of Ma Daha and Xiao Ma Yu, and indeed they were so entangled that they could barely see anyone. I hurried to them, and I heard the little wolf shouting loudly behind me, "Come back, go to the stage and kill the corpses, and you can save them." ”

As soon as I heard that I could save them by killing the corpses, I hesitated a little in my heart, but then I thought about what the little wolf said just now. It seems that this living corpse has something to do with the snake vine, so I immediately turned around and ran to the altar, and when I got to the stone platform, I looked at the corpse with my heart beating, and my scalp was a little numb.

If this is a zongzi or a bloody corpse, I will definitely not hesitate to kill him, but he is not a zongzi, and he will not attack us, just a corpse, no matter how I look at it, I can't do it. The little wolf at the bottom urged: "Do it." ”

Looking at the headless living corpse, I don't know how to kill him, he doesn't even have a head, I can't divide him. In desperation, I asked aloud, "How do you kill him?" ”

"Pull out his heart, hurry."

I listened to the little wolf and pulled out his heart, pointed the tip of the knife directly at the corpse's chest, closed his eyes and stabbed it directly. As soon as the knife went down, blood sprayed out along the edge of the knife, spraying all over my face. Immediately wiped it with his hands, and at the same time as he wiped the blood, the walls around him made a swishing sound.

In the dimness, I vaguely saw the snake vines on the wall below, there were more snakes, and they had grown a lot, much more active than just now. The little wolf couldn't parry it, his legs were already entangled, and the knife in his hand was still shaking trying to cut off the snake vine on his body.

"What's going on?" I asked the little wolf underneath.

"If you don't take out your heart, hurry up."

Fuck again, didn't answer my question, I looked back at the corpse's heart, Nima, the knife was stuck in the heart, why was it still beating. "What's going on? I've already stabbed him in the heart, why is it still beating? ”

"Get your heart out." The little wolf's voice was already hoarse.

When I looked at him again, the little wolf's neck was already entangled, and it was already barely able to make a sound. picked up the big long knife and slashed the heart of the corpse a few times, and every time the knife slashed the heart, you could hear it, and the swishing sound of the snake vines around it was higher than the other.

But no matter how I cut it, the heart just wouldn't stop beating, and in a hurry, I raised my hands and went straight through the knife. This guy's heart is so big, bigger than my head, and it's elongated. This knife edge is a bit small, I can't pull it out at all, and I don't care about holding the knife, so I directly tear the knife edge with my hands, hoping to tear the knife edge bigger.

For the first time, I felt my hands tearing human flesh, and it was so disgusting that I used both hands to tear my entire chest in half along the knife. The sound of flesh pulling formed a ringing in my ears, a sound I never wanted to hear again in my life. His hands were full of things in his stomach, and he couldn't see where I had torn them up, and the blood that flowed out made his hands sticky, making me feel like I wanted to vomit.

My chest was torn in half, and with a force of my hands in his body, I pulled out the corpse's heart, which was beating vigorously despite its severe damage. I took out my heart and found that there were still two large blood vessels connected to my body, and I wanted to tear them off with my hands, but I couldn't stop pulling them. I had to pick up a long knife again and cut off the blood vessels.

At the moment when the blood vessels were severed, the surrounding snake vines made a thunderous sound, followed by the grinding sound of stones, and the surrounding walls were making noises. It was as if it was a stone man, moving its old joints, rattling, and in less than a minute, the whole altar was quiet again, but I clearly felt that my feet were unstable, as if there was an earthquake.

The whole person tilted instantly, and the stone platform also fell, and in a panic, I grabbed the stone platform where the corpse was placed. In just a few seconds, the stone platform, several meters high, collapsed to the flat ground. I rolled to the side as the stone platform collapsed, but with me the corpses on the stone platform.

I rolled to the bottom first, and then the corpse rolled to my side, hatefully, with its chest facing my head. My head almost stuck into the corpse's chest, and I was covered in blood from the corpse's chest, and my mouth was open, and I reluctantly drank a few mouthfuls of the corpse's blood.

I quickly got up and vomited blood vigorously, hoping to spit out the blood in my mouth, but some of the blood had already been swallowed by me. After a few strokes with my hand, I finally vomited, and it was not only the blood that came out, but all the food in my stomach.

Looking at the corpse lying in front of me, I had the feeling that I was about to become an executioner, no, a perverted executioner. Even the headless corpse was killed, and he drank his blood after killing, the more he thought about it, the more disgusting he felt. The ground around was covered with blood, and blood was still flowing from under the altar.

"Uncle Seven, come and save us."

I heard the voice and looked up to see that it was Madahar, and although the snake vines were no longer moving, they were still haunting them. Patronizing and disgusting, he forgot all about their trapping, and hurriedly ran over to help them untie the snake vine. These snake vines seemed to have dried up, and each one of them shriveled, and lost the vitality of the previous one. The little wolf untied himself and walked over to look at the corpse lying on the ground.

I don't dare to look at the corpse anymore, not because I'm afraid, but because I gag when I see the blood, and I don't have anything to throw up. Now the most important thing to do is to get out of here, I really can't stay here, I walked to the stone gate where I came in, and asked the little wolf: "How can this door be opened?" ”

"It can't be opened, and he can't be opened when he's dead." The little wolf pointed to the corpse lying on the ground.

"What do you mean, he can only open this door alive?"

The little wolf nodded, squatted next to the corpse, looked at the corpse lying in a pool of blood, and wondered what Lu Dao was thinking?

"Can you tell me what the hell is going on?" I asked the little wolf in the hope that he would tell me the answer, and this time the little wolf was still very face-saving and told me what he knew.

It turned out that the entire sacrificial altar was controlled by this headless living corpse, and everything here was supported by the blood of the living corpse. Just as the engine of a car is powered by gasoline, the blood of a headless corpse is like gasoline.

The little wolf told me that the headless corpses on the altar would have to live for at least a few thousand years. This headless corpse was originally supposed to be a child, and after thousands of years of changes, it has grown to such a size, no wonder the clothes on the body appear so small, it turned out to be broken by the growth.

The heart of a corpse has not stopped beating for thousands of years. It relies on the hematopoietic function of the corpse to maintain the various mechanisms inside the altar. It is also said that the chance of survival of the heart of a headless corpse is 1 in 10,000, which means that the heads of tens of thousands of children must be cut off in order to have a living heart.

As soon as he said this, I understood, no wonder when the stone gate was opened, why did so much blood flow, it turned out that the mechanism of the stone gate was driven by blood. The snake vines around it have also survived until now by the blood infusion of the corpse.

When I cut the blood vessels, the snake vine also died, and it all depended on the heart of the corpse, no wonder the little wolf said that the heart was the engine of the entire altar. Blood was still pouring out from under the collapsed altar, and it seemed that a lot of blood had been stored.

After figuring this out, I became interested in this altar, what is it to protect with such a mysterious mechanism? This question became an extreme in my thinking, and now I am desperate to know the answer. The little wolf was still crouching next to the corpse, and he turned it over and whispered to himself, "I see." ”

I listened to the little wolf's meaning, as if I had found something, and I forced myself to hold back my faint gagging stomach and look at the corpse. There was blood on the back of the corpse, and I couldn't see it clearly at this distance. I walked over with a flashlight and took a look, but I still couldn't help but vomit again.

The back of the corpse cannot be described as such, it should be said that the corpse does not have a back at all. The back of the corpse is transparent, and many small blood vessels can be clearly seen. Many of the organs in the corpse have been taken out, and there is nothing in them except blood vessels, and if there is anything inside, it can only be the heart that I just pulled out.
